Tilden'S Income Tax.

TIE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL COM
MITTEE IN A pILEMMA-THEY THINK
THE EXCUSE OFFERED BY IILDENs
PRIVATE SECRETARY TOO THIN"
Special Washington Despatch to the Boston Her
aid Qndependent Democratic.)
There has been much uneasiness here
for some days among the members of the
democratic Congressional Committee over
the charge that Governor Tilden swore
falsely in connection with his income re-
turns. They have been hnxiously look
ing for an explanation from New York,
aud have been ready to admit the serious
ness of the matter unless it could be salts
factorily met. The purported explana-
ton of Governor Tilden's secretary to the
effect that the railroad fees which were
not entered in his income return for 1862,
although received in that year. were really
earned in previous years, WAS NOT AC-
CEPTED HERE BY THE DEMOCRATS, and
some of them even questioned the authen-
ticity of the dispatch from Albany attrib.
uting so thin an excuse to the Secretary.
But when one of Governor Tiden's rec
ognzed New York organs arrived last
night with FORMAL EDITORIAL DEFENCE
BASED ON TIE SAME GROUNDS, 1T
BROUGHT GREAT TROUBLE INTO
THE CAMP here, since all are shrewd
enough to see that such line of defence
will not answer. The brevity of the
charge. the ease with which all classes
of voters comprehend it, and the confid-
ing nature of the few sentences of proof
which establish it, are the elements of the
case which are causing so much trouble.
1T is the first charge against Tilden which
has given his followers here real concern.
They have remained comparatively un-
concerned over his other railroad compli-
cations, believing that these cases were
too intricate for the ordinary voter to un-
derstand. but this they regard as quite an
other thing, and as one aUhich must ineri
tadlq damage 7Glden inside The ranks of
his own party.

To the Editor o,jthe Journal
Let the undeniable fact be kept before the

ment to thousands of mechanics and laborers of

to appropriate the means necessary to complete
the contracts, made and necessary, for the bust.

the people, throwing thousands of stone cutters,
blacksmths and other laborers out Of employ,
when there is plenty Of money in the treasury
uuappropriated, to complete all contracts, and
give employment to all. But for the Confederate
House every stone cutter aud blacksmith in Maine
would be employed to-day. The President and
Senate have done all and are willing to do but the
Democratic House led by Ben Hill Tucker and
Lamar, woald no: vote the means laying idle in
the treasury that you might have employment.
The same is true throughout the whole country;
from every Navy Yard, from every public work
they have done their best to expel every laborer
means were abundant. But for the Confederate
House every quarry in Maine would be in full
blast to-day. Let the laboting men of Maine
member this other fact that it is the first time in
the history Of the world wren any Government

Tildcn as q Perjurer.

The charge of perjury against Mr.. Til
den has not been refuted or satisfactorily
explained. His private Secretary has
undertaken an explanation which leaves
Tiden in worse plight than if no expla.
nation had been attempted. This is the
way he does it:
"a lawyer might work for long time before
he got his fee, and conscientious man would of
course consider the work he had done from year
to year as case progressed, and that the fee,
though received in one year, was not his income
for that year; 1t has been 10 fact, earned each
year during the progress of the case. That was
all there was about the matter"
This is virtual admission that there is
no defence for Mr.. Tiden. 1t is dodge,
an evasion, and a weak one at that, which
even the democratic national committee
are reluctant to endorse as defence for
Tiilden. The Tribune which has friend
ly feeling for Mr. Tiden says; THE
Private Secretary and the astute gentle
"nan who keeps the Private Secretary,
"ought TO understand that this is mere
"trihng with business, which little
"more handling of that sort may easily
make very serious"

From the New York Times.
Mr.. Tilden's False Oath.

HIS INCOME TAX FRAUD-TExT OF THE OATHs
HE MADE ON DIFFERENT oCCAsIoNs-HIs
GUILT FULLY ESTABLISHED BY THE OFFICIAL
RECORDS - CUMULATIVE EVIDENCE AGAINST
HIM.
The story of Samuel j. Tilden's alleged perjury
in connection with the false returns of his in
come during the war has travelled all over the
land, and although many days have elapsed since
it appeared in the Times, not one of the watchful
friends of Mr.. Tilden has attempted to deny its
ruth. All the facts were taken from official re-
cords bearing the signature of Mr.. Tilden himself
and these identical records now present him in the
pitable light of swearing to false statement for
the purpose of cheating the government The
proof against him does not admit of question.
Ga Dec. %, Mr. Tilaen, In making a return of
his income for the previous year, deliberately
took the following oath:

Democratic Reform.

10 the Editor of the Journal.
1t is hoped that the Standard of this week will
give its readers some explanation in regard to that
assertion which it made some weeks ago in regard
to the State Printing. We also hope that it will
try its hand 10 offering some explanation to the
charge of perjury which has been made against
Tiden, where it is alleged that under oath be
swore to one thing in 1868 and in 1876 to some.
thing else.
1t has been hinted that at a conference of the
faithful it was decided not to say anything about
the charge against the reformer Tilden for if they
did it would arouse q suspicion among the readers
Of the democratic papers that Tilden was not such
a pure man as some Of his friends have been
declaring him to be- and that they might be search
ing for more light upon the matter, and upon
careful investigation would discover the fraud the
democratic leaders were playing upon them. In
fact this was plainly admitted in conversation
within few days with prominent democrat, who
said that very large part of their party read but
one paper and what that contained they. believed
swallowed without any mental reservation what
ever, for it is fact that but few have the hardi-
hood to deny, that if every democrat in this State
should read two political papers, Of each party,
the democratic vote would be much smaller than
it is now. 1t must be taken as the reason why the
democratic papers are so afraid to say anything
even by way Of defense, Of the many and grave
charges which every day are hurled at their can
didate, which they, nor even he, can truthfully
deny, their only answer being to call everybody
that says anything about it liar. and to 60 into
the air like an insane person. Oh reform where

$4,000.

Some of Sam Tilden's money is being
thrown away ip this city for the printing
of $1,000 copies of democratic circular,
to be spread broadcast in the State. 1t Is
devoted to denying that the democrats Will
nav the rebel debt or pension rebel soldiers
if Tilden is elected, and telling whopper
about the amount of money paid to the
Government since the war closed and the
increase OF oflice-hoders since Grant ;
election.
1t declares that the rebel debt will not
be paid if Tilden is elected because the
constitution of the United States prohibits
it. That reminds US that the republican
party pu, that provision into the Cons'iiu-
ton. Bat give the democratic party power
and we should see it evadcd and practical
" annulled just as the 1,t section OF the
XIV amendment and the XIV amendment
now are in large part OF the South. All
these amendments were accepted by the
rebels under protest, and they do not con-
slider themselves bound to regard them.
"Where the money goes is to pay the
cost of the democratic rebellion. If it
takes money to pay the bills democrats
ought not to complain about it, 1t Is an
interesting spectacle to witness men that
were officers in the Confederate army
stand up in the House, and actually whine
because it cost so much to whip them into
subection 1t was done as cheapy as 1t
could be under the circumstances. 1t
might have been done great deal cheap
er had it not been for the disloyal course
of such copperhead democrats as Tiden
and Hendricks, and John c. Talbo. who
"wouldn't give cent to support the
"Black Republican War; and pronounced
it failure less than n year before ii closed
with the defeat of the rebels.
The falsehood about the increase OF OF
fceholders has been shown up repeatedly
By counting all the mail contractors and
stage drivers and small employees OF ev-
cry sort and then exaggerating the actual
number the democrats figure out an in
creased number, but according to
the necessities of the government and
increased population the number OF
officeholders is less than in Buchanan
time. But suppose Mr.. Tilden should
be elected would there be any less
ofliceholders than now? Why the
hungry swarm of democrats that
flocked to Washington last winter seeking
office at the hands of the ex-Confederate
House covered the Capitol as the lice and
frogs covered Egypt. These hungry
hordes of democrats would raise rebel
lion at the suggestion of reducing the
number of offices. and Mr.. Tilden would
surrender as he did on the currency ques-
ton, even if he had any thought OF cutting
down the office which he probably has not.
