Tilden's Dread Of Tweed.

The Tilden Bureau" is engaged in prov
ing how just is the ancient adage, "A
guilty conscience needs no accueer" It has
sent editorials as far west as Indiana, and
as far south ss New Orleans, warning the
faithful to look out for disgracefui revela-
tions by Tweed concerning Tilden. It
is to make these that Tweed has been
obtained from Spain. "The great crimi.
nal" declares one of these editorials, Twas
amensble only to the State of New York.
But it was the Uoited States which. only
since the St. Louis convention. undertook
the enterprise of his recsp:ure." 1.-The ad-
ministration was in situation. by condon-
ing sic] outrages on American citizens,
to bargain with Spain, behind Tilden's
back for the surrender of Tweed with
out treaty" The bureau editorial then
goes on to say that the arrangement is for
Tweed to "squeaP on Tilden, and receive q
pardon from Governor Morgan in case the
latter is elected. "For this" adds the bu-
reau, ian old man in Tweed's situation,
moral and material can net be supposed to
hesitate out of scruples of conscience, any
more than hound hesitates when he sees q
rabbit" Mr.. Tilden, We suppose, is the rab
bit; the com parison is not bad. The bureau
concludes in this mysterious manner: 'He
men would say he would be great fool not
to do it. as it would not blacken him much
to speak Of" Which of the two great Dem
ocrats this refers to We do not know, but 1t
is true of either. Meanwhile We accept the
bureaus warning: "Be not surprised, there.
fore, at what you may hear" We shall not
be, nor, apparently, will the bureau, how
ever bad the news may be.-New York

A Golden Weddiug In Golden Peru.

The South Pacific Times, of Callao, in
Peru. announces the marriage on Septem-
ber IA, at Lima, of the only daughter of
Mr.. Henry Meiggs. the great American rail-
way contractor, who has carried his lines
over the passes Of the Andes at heights
twice as lofty as those surmOunted by our
own Pacific railways, to Mr.. Alexander
Robertson, member Of leading mercan-
tile house at Lima. The wedding was q
brilliant affair. More than 800 gentlemen
were assembled, the only ladies pres
ent being the intimate friends and
members of the household. Among
the guests we're his excellency the Vice
President Of the republic, the British,
American, German, French and other for
eign ministers, and q large number of ma
tive and foreign residents Of Lima and
Callao. The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Mr.. MackinnOn, B. A., minister Of
the Episcopal Church in Lima, in . most
impressive manner. The bride was the
beau ideal of what bride ought to be, and
the other ladies' toilets were as refined as
they were costly. The banquetting rooms
appointment deffed the criticism of the
most fastidi0us; while the floral decorations
of the principal drawing rooms were most
exquisite. testifying favorably to the
horticulture of Peru and to the taste of
those who prepared them. One of the
rooms of the spacious mansion was
devoted to the valuable and brilliant
collection of presents to the fair bride. 1t
comprised articles of vertu, jswelry, curiosi-
ties OF the country, and many other things
of utility and beauty. Most Of the articles
comprising the collection were specially i'm
ported for the occasion, and not few of
them are Of great value. A string band
was in attendance and performed some
selections from operas in . most brilliant
manner. At the banquet many excellent
speeches were made and due honor was
done to the happy couple and to Mr.. Meiggs.
The large company must long retain the
happy mem0rit which always succeed the
display of hospitality by MI. Meiggs, and
on this occasion more lively will be the
recoilections which are cherished by the
hope that the happiness may be realized Of
those whose future welfare is bound to the
of Q devoted father.

By way of derieiop, some Of our papers
are in the habit Of speaking of Hon. w. G.
Brown, State Superintendent, as "Educa-
tional Brown" Lst 10 sec how richly and
truly he merits the epithet, and how mad
vertently they call him Alright.
In 1870 there were only twelve schools in
one of the six divisions, and that the poor
est of them ali. Now, there are over 100.
Take this, then, - the basis of our caloula-
ton. Twelve into 100 goes eight and one
third times. This is IN increase OF 1884, per
cent for one divieion. Now. most of this
increase has taken place during the regime
of Mr.. Brown. 1t 10 fair to presume that
the increase in all educational mat
ters connected with the schools is in
the same proportion to that of the
schools. A visit to the Superintendent's Of
fee will show this, especially go when the
records are compared with the two or
three small books of the ante bellum Super
intendents, among whom the Hon. Mr..
Lusher. opposition candidate, may be
found. Does not Mr. Brown richly merit
the proud title, and does not his success in
growing the little seed into . tree that over
shadows all the land with leaves and fruit
