SAMUEL AND FORT WAYNE.

While it has been known that Mr..
Tilden had connections with the Fort
Wayne Railroad, and the Pennsylva-
MIA Company, which must have result
ted greatly to his financial profit, the
proof Of the fact and the specific
amounts have not been attainable. A
correspondent of the New York Times
has been cultivatiDg that field, with
some success, but not with the full
result that is desirable. He shows
that Tilden secured the sale of the
Fort Wayne road, being one of the
purchasing committee, the deeds of
sale, drawn by Mr.. Tilden, being exc
cuted in March, 1862, the sale having
been made the month previous. That
he received large compensation for the
services rendered, most of which were
performed in 1862, is morally certain,
although tho specific evidence of the
fact is not attainable. The oorrespon-
dence shows that in 1869, Tilden Sc.
cured the lease of the Fort Wayne
road to the Pennsylvania Company,
and speculated largely in its stocks,
acting on the knowledge he had of the
conditions of the lease, and its effect
in giving value to the stock. In this
single operation, besides the $4,000
he received for drawing the necessary
papers, he made million or more.
This fee, at least, comes within the
purView of the income tax. This
amount is clearly ascertained to have
been paid and yet the services rem.
dered were not comparable with those
rendered in 1862, and for which he
was paid, it is not known how much.
Revelations are soon to come from
the Brady's Bend Iron Company, in a
way that will be tangible and convin-
cling. Thus as time passes we gather
more and more the Observation-Disclosures
that render it at least morally certain
that, in swearing to his income tax for
1862, he committed perjury; while in
his railroad wrecking operations he
has made large sums of money, on
which he has not at any time paid his
income tax. Thus he has swindled
the Government. and this at a time
when he was amply able to pay his
tax, and when the Government so sad
" needed the money to prosecute the
war of rebellion. This is the Reform
er who proposes to lift the politics of
the nation up to a position of exalted
purity the political saint, who cannot
endure the eorruptious of the Repub-
lican party. This is the high minded
honorable mar, who only seeks to do
that which is right, and cannot toler-
ate the Republican administration be-
cause it does not live within its income.
Such lofty purity compares with that
of Tweed, who, year before his fall,
along with Tilden. prated Of reform in
the politics of New York and the coun-
try. Can any one fail to see the utter
hypocrisy of all his pretenses, and the
wickedness of the man? He Reform
er 1t is no more than Tweed professed
to be- We imagine the people under
stand too clearly how utterly worth
less in his pretense Of reform to be
governed by it farther. We have
! little fear that Samuel j. Tilden will
carry his system Of railway manage
ment into the administration of the
United States Government.--Pitts. Ga

The Independent Convention.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found the
proceedings of the independent reform
convention at Decatur, on the 10th. The rep
resentation at this meeting as whole was
respectable sud we'll distributed through
out the state-some two hundred and fifty
delegates being present. The gentlemen
on the ticket are generally men of high
responsibility and integrity, and the plat
form, with the exception OF the currency
plank and the declaration as to internal
improvements,is good. But the resolution
on the financial question is wild and phan-
tasmatical. and does not. from our observa
ton of those present, reflect the views of
the real reform and agricultural element
of the convention. While this element is
opposed to the contraction OF the currency,
and favors the immediate reneal of the rs
resumption act, and the winding up of the
national banks; they believe that honesty
will compel the payment of promises ia
pay some day in the future, aud take no
stock in Fig Iron Kelley sinterconvertible

better and more said portion of the con
vention, while small demagogues and bare

extreme, and did about all the talking.

marked. are en,inently respectable and

made, but quickly stopped. There was a
general hand shaking, however, and Gen

and most heartily and ieelingly shook the
hand of each juryman. and thanked them
kindly tor the verdict. The general and
friends then left the court and started for

party were hsartily cheered by the great
crowd congregated in front of the custom
house. There seemed to be universe
qualification at the result Of the trial.

Moline Business Meeting.

Tonight occurs the business meeting of
merchants and others relating to the re-
building of Rock river bridge The place
of meeting has been changed from the en-
CINE house to Timm's Hall to afford plenty
OF room. 1t is Impossible to anticipate
definitely what will be the result of the
meeting, but it is well known that the
owners have not been idle, and good
deal of quiet canvassing has been done to
create sentiment in favor of the city
building the bridge. This is simply an
imposition. and all opposed to an increase
of taxation should attend and oppose any
such proposition. 1t has been the rule in
Moline. with all, 10 any enterprise where
public benefit is part consideration, to ap
peal to the municipal corporation, to Papa
Government, for help, and this case is one
of that nature The present owners have
been operating the bridge and absorbing
the tolls, without making any outlay to
speak of, for the last seventeen years, and
now that some expenditure of money is
needed they close the structure against
travel, hoping to force the city to pay
them all aud more than the original cost
