rontloM Notes.
The South does seem to be pretty s'solid''
ior lilden. The Southern correspondent of
The Cincinnati Commercial writes: / have
made an estimate Of the majorities which |
think Tilden will receive in the Southern
States. These are not hap-hazard, but based
upon careful survey of the field and per.
sonal visit to many of the States. Virginia,
$4,000 majority; Tennessee, 5000; Alaba.
ma, 10000; Arkansas, $4,000; Louisiana,
1000; Mississippi, 10000; North Carolina,
1000; Georgia, $4,000; West Virginia,
1,OO0i Florida, 1900; Maryland, 10000
Kentucky, $4,000; Missouri, 40 600 Texas,
$1,000. Total majority in the Southern States
for Iilden $4,000. In these estimates have
inclined to moderation, and / have no doubt
but what the actual majorities will, in most
instances, go above the figures have indica-
ted. should not be surprised if the total in
these States was swelled to 375, 900 majority,
at the same time / look for the Republicans
to make slight gains in Congressman in the
Southern States, say half dozen. am al
most persuaded that Hampton will be elected,
troops or no troops, and probably the State
carried for Iilden. Things look that way at
the present writing, and / am almost ready to
predict that South Carolina will ioin the solid
South in November"

"A well-attended meeting of colored men
favorable to the election Of TiIden and Hen.
dricks washeld Monday night at the corner of
Montgomery and Sharp streets. C. w. Mar
shall was elected temporary Chairman and
James Hammond Secretary. Addresses were
delivered by Q. W. Marshall, Lawrence Nose
ly and Walter Sorrel. The audience and
speakers were all colored men. The senti-
ments OF the speakers were to the effect that
the colored people as q race, although osten-
sibly enjoying all the privileges Of freemen,
had been blinded by the Republican party.
and thus deprived Of their rights while used
by them TO perpetuate that party. The col
ored Democrats of Baltimore are the pioneers
in the new departure, and as the coming con-
test is to be one Of merit that merit IS the
record of the Republican party for the past
four years. The Republican party had from
the date of the emancipation degraded the
colored race, and they (the speakers) propos-
ed now TO vote for honest men who had al
ways upheld one political principle until they
do worse, and they think the Democratic
party better than any in existence. The
speakers were loudly applauded. --Baltinore

The false income return of Samuel J. Tilden does
not show fees during the year from the Toledo and
Tines, Sh
Toledo and Wabash Railroad Company never was
client OF Mr. Tiden, AMI that neither in 1862 nor
at any other time did he receive any fees from IT,
was promised from authorities In which we had
confidence but In Its absence at item must be trah-
draiOa," IN T. Times sia.
This prince of liars has been compelled at
last to swallow his words and retract his lies.
No sooner out of one lie than in another.
So look out for more false charges. s.-Cum-

Thirty million dollars saved by a Demo-
cratic House are SO many reasons why the
taxpayers of the country should re-elect its
Democratic members. The restoration Of q
Republican house and the election of Re-
publican president would at once check the
grand Reforms SO nobly begun by the Demo
Gratis Of the house. But Democratic house
of representatives and Democratic president
can wiring from Republican senate the re-
forms demanded by the people. The results
of last session in making this reduction in
expenditures in spite of a hostile president
and senate indicate what can be accomplished
by Democratic house acting in harmony
with Democratic president.
While the administration and the organs
have been assailing the House of Representa-
tives, and misrepresenting the effect of its
wise and proper policy, they have furnished
the best proof Of their own insincerity. At
this very time, when it is pretended there are
not enough clerks provided to run depart
ments efficiently, about four hundred have
been furloughed for thirty or forty days, and
sent as political missionaries and voters into
Ohio and Indiana, where they claim legal
residence.
