Theodore Tilton. in the Golden Age

IneOuOre IlltOn, In the G0tQen Age,
Of the 9th inst, says:
The Times, of this city has gravely
asserted more than once, that Mr.. Gree.
ley has made bargain with the Tam.
many ring, by which he is to receive its
support in the present campaign. in
consideration of favors already rendered
by the Tribune, and to be bestowed in
case OF his election. More than once,
the Times has made the strongest posi-
tive assertions against individuals in this
city, and when its conductors we're
brought into court, they were compelled
to confess that the charges we're made
upon mere heBrsay. aud without evil
dence. The Times knows that this accu-
sation against Mr.. Greeley is utterly
baseless. It does not, and cannot, ad-
duce the shadow of O proof in support of
its charge. It knows that when the De-
mocrats themselves have repudiated
Tammany. it would be fatal folly and
madness in Mr.. Greeley or his friends
to enter into an arrangement with that
disgraced and defunct organization. 1t
knows that with oil its shortcomings,
the Tribune never has favored the Tam
many ring, nor concealed or apologized
for its crimes. But, unlike the Times, it
refused to spend all its indignation and
wrath upon tho Tammany ring, when
other rings equally corrupt and far
more dangerous were throttling the
National Government and preying upon
its iiie-biood. The Times was sharp
eyed to detect every peculator who, with
smallest gimblet. bored into the city
treasury, but has been utterly and per-
sistently blind to the plunderers whose
huge augers have riddled the treasury of
the nation-so blind that whoever knows
anything of political optics suspects
that it is afflicted with the same disease
which prevented the English bishop
from seeing when guinea was held be.
fore each of his eyes. The Springfield
Republican, in commenting upon this
matter, says: 'There are journals in this
country whose solemn assertion in so
grave matter as this would have very
nearly the weight of evidence-would at
least create strong presumption against
the party accused. Unhappily, the New
York Times has ceased to be of their
number. It is not pleasant thing to
say OF a paper of the Times antecedents,
but it is the truth. In matters about
which the Republican knows as much as
the Times, and also knows that the
Times knowledge of the facts is equal to
its own, that paper has proved ,tuelf q
false witness"

Golden Age, who signs himself "A Gree.
Icy Republican, asks what are Mr.. Gree.
ley's views with regard to the Confede.
rate debt, and sdds that the Radicals in
his town soy that Mr.. Greeley, if elected.
would be in favor of paying it. Mr.
Iilton's answer is short and to the point
''The fools are not oil dead yet"
The Radicals very justly attach mucl,
Importance to the North Carolina cleo
tion. If Congress had given Gen. Grant
the authority he so urgently demanded,
OF declaring martial law and suspendine
the writ of ha6eas corpus in disaffected
districts, he and his carpet-baggers and
scalawags might have some chance Of
carrying the old North State; but, as the
day of bayonet elections and bastiles is
over, they have none.
A New York Radical paper says Gree
ley's portraits are to be seen in all the
low grog-shops and cafes. Well, they
were not photographed on the spot. as q
certain other Presidential oandidate'a
might have been, If they had been
wanted.
A Radical paper says Grant was the
first President to attempt civil reform
and the Boston Post adds: "And the
first to make sickening failure, as we'll. ="
To avoid Misrepresentation, it is worth
while to state that the gentlemen spoken
OF in our dispatches from Baltimore as
"bolters," are simply number of disor.
ganizers, who had no position whatever
in the Baltimore Convention. They
were outsiders, and their object was to
induce the delegates to the Convention
to disregard the wishes of those who
sent them there; and failing in that, they
propose to nominate ''straight.out"
Democratic ticket, if they CON f1nd two
gentlemen who will accept thet dubious
honor at their hands. which is extremely
doubtful. There was no boiling from
the Democratic Convention, and few
have been held in our history that were
so harmonious.
It will be. difficult for Grant to seduce
the more intelligent of the colored voters
from their old friend and patron, Horace
Greeley. In all the States, the leaders
are coming out for the Baltimore and
Cincinnati, nominees. The last notable
case that we have seen, is that of W. U.
Saunders, of Baltimore, man of cul.
ture, an officer in the custom house, and
a Grant eleotor. He is out in very
sensible letter, in which he abandons the
Grant wing of the party, resigns his
place on the electoral ticket, and declares
his resolution to support Greeley and
Brown.

Greeley and Brown.


Greeley and Brown.
We have advocated the Liberal move.
f. ment with all the warmth of earnest con.
viction from its very first inception. in
the earIy part of the spring, and we have
urged the acceptance Of Greeley and
Brown, by the Democratic party, from
the moment that the tidings of their
nomination, at Cincinnati, fret reached
us by telegraph. But we have refrained,
till lnow, from hoisting their banner to
the head of our columns. This we do
to-day. Until the action of the Balti-
more Convention, it was by no means
oertein that they would remain in the
field till the close of tho race, and we
have, therefore, awaited that event.
Now the issue is fairly made up. The
Democrats have wisely aud with pa
triotic self,denial determined to combine
with the Liberal Republicans, and to
concentrate their powerful forces upon
Greeley and Gratz Brown. We, there
fore. feel assured that they will continue
the glorious struggle they have begun
against military despotism and sectional
hate, and we nail their colors to our
: masthead, there to remain till the con.
test is over and the victory won. It
shall be ours to do all within the scope
OF our humble but earnest endeavors to
aid their cause, for we feel it to be just
and noble. and that upon its success de-
Pends the final redemption of our own
State and the preservation of genuine
Republican liberty to the entire country.
peace and friendship with our sister
States Of the North. and an honest 60
vernment for poor dowu-trodden South
Carolina, are what we need. Self-inte-
rest and true patriotism alike demand
that We should cultivate mutual good
will between ourselves and the sections
with which We are politically associated
and united.
We see the harm which sectional ha-
tired can Go, in the pandemonium which
che present Administration has made of
this State and of other Southern States,
till their power was checked. We would
not be subjected to it again, and the
best means we see to avoid it is to accept
the hand of conciliation and friendship
which honest Horace proffers. II he
and Gratz Brown are elected, we may
hope that the same relief will follow to
Soath Carolina which has been given to
the .Confederates of Missouri by the
Liberal movement, which was inaugu-
rated and carried to successful compile
ton by Gratz Brown, there. two years
ago. We believe that the desire for re-
oonciliation is powerful at the North,
too. It certainly must be in the hearts
OF all those who fought in or favored the
2ate. war, for the sake mainly of preserv-
ing the Union. and not from hatred to-
wards the South. The feeling may not
be 80 universal. nor quite 80 strong,
there as with US, for they are enjoying
prosperity, and have not had their Sec
tional prejudices so thoroughly thumped
ont Of them as we have. But intelligent
people of the North cannot fail to ap-
probate the evils which must inevitably
spring from O continued alienation of
the South, and we believe they will give
q strong and hearty support to the effort
at re. union.

HELPING THEMsELvEs.-If the white
Radicals are indisposed to do for the ne
groes what might be expected from their
profuse professions of affection for this
class of population, the negroes, it ap-
coming forward to do for themselves. It
is the old fable of the lark and her young
ones over again. Thus, it is not sur.
prising to know that the oolored South
Carolina Congressman Elliott has ap-
pointed negro boy to be cadet mid
shipman at Annapolis. and that the other
colored members of Congress will follow
his example. AS the future will probably
see many more negro Congressman, 80
an increase in the members of colored
youths at West Point and Annapolis may
be anticipated as time rolls on.

TIE REMAINS OF LOUIS PHILIPPE. -
The Paris Gdul0iS states that the ques.
ton of the hour in Versailles is the
translation to France of the ashes of
Louis Philippe. Nj. Theirs has made
no official promise on the subject, but it
is probable that the work of removal
will be done privately and without any
public ceremony whatever. The Duo
d'Aumnle and the Prince de Joinyille
will soon go to Claremont, in order to
exhume the remains of the late King.
which they will then deposit at the Cha
teau d'Eu, where the Orleans family will
oil meet. The ceremony will take place
in the presence of few invited friends,
for the public are not to be admitted.
In England, it is said, exists curions
superstition upon the subject OF mortu.
ary transfers of this character. The
English say that whenever q ruler au-
thorizes the return to his country OF the
body of sovereign of the past, trouble
follows to him who rules. The fact is,
that the return to France of the ashes Of
Napoleon [ did not bring good luck to
Louis Philippe.

PARIS GOSSIP "A Versailles letter says:
Government has resolved that Marshal
Bazeine's trial shall not be postponed q
single day when once the maps. plans
and other documents required by the
court are ready, which will be about
month hence. The dispositions of wit
nesses, and the questioning of the pri
soner himself, will be finished about the
same time. The general officer who has
charge of what the French law calls 'the
instruction OF Bazaine, sees him for
about two hours every forenoon; the
questions put to the prisoner, aud his
replies. number already some two hun
dred aud odd. Many of the officers who
will have to take part in the trial, either
as witnesses or employed by the court,
have already arrived at Versailles, and
apartments of all kinds are fast rising to
the fabulous prices that were paid for
them during the Commune. It is curl
GUS to observe. by the way, how this
most decidedly monnrchical town has ao-
commodated itself to the simplicity of
republican manners. When M. Thiers
goes-as he does nearly every day at pre-

no guard. often not even O carriage. A
little old gentleman. dressed in black,
wearing spectacles, with an overcoat
thrown over his arm, may be seen wend-
ing his way under the shade of the trees
in the Avenue de Paris, and across the
blazing hot Place d'Armes, to the Cha.
teau, leaning on the arm of q somewhat
older and taller man, with whom he is in
earnest conversation. No one would for

How OLD JOHN HARPER FLANKED THE
NEW YORK SPORTS. New York Sun
says that when old man Harper brought
his stud of horses North, he had white
jockey. The boy soon became intimate
with many patrons of the turf and drank
and smoked with them. He was gene
raj favorte. AS soon as the old man
found out that the sports and knowing
ones knew the boy, he telegraphed for
his colored jockey, John Sample. who
rode Longfellow at Lexington. When
the bell rang for the riders to mount.
the white boy came out. Apparently
not noticing him, Unole John told the
darkey to step on the scales. Finding
he weighed one pound too much. he
made him run round the track and sweat
the extra pound away. The experiment
was successful. and the darkey won the
race. It is said that while the white boy
is richer by several hundred dollars.
some politicians are Of the opinion that
they threw some money away carelessly.
They think Uncle John Harper is too
smart for the New York boys.

ExoEssIvE WATER DRINKING. There
is no habit which is so disposed to grow
upon one as that OF drinking. Even
water-drinking. apparently 30 harmless,
becomes, with some people, most per-
nicious habit; they are regularly in the
habit of drinking many glasses OF water
between meals. This habit is an ipjuri-
Gus one; it gently weakens the digestive
power, hastens the waste, and very pro-
badly tends to produce ecorpulenoy. On
fortunately. however, water drinking is
for less frequently habit than beer
drinking. which, in quantities very far
short of intoxication, is much more in
furious. BY water.drinking, We dilute
our tissues; by beer.drinking, we con.
taminate them.
