The letter of Mr.. Tilden, which we
publish to-day, like all his public utter
ances. is clear, explicit and unequiyocal.
II neither halts nos mincfs matters, and
will serve etiectually to squeich the I'M
founded charges of the Republicans.
that if he is elected The rebel war claims
will be paid.
Richmond tya) Dispatch.
TIlden's letter enl ghtens the under
standing sufficiently to enable all men 10
understand. 1t is one Of the most clear,
distinct, and complete papers that We
have ever read. Mr.. Tilden annihilates
all the Radical prophecies ana conjec-
lures as TO his policy and opinions on
| the so-called war claims. and as to the
policy of the Democratic party on the
same subject.

There IS not an honest man in the South
who will not glorify and indorse this ac-

| Will meet with appreciation from one end
OF the "solid South" to the other.
Norfolk, (va) Landmark.
We have only to repeat what We have

/ under stands fully that the loss of her
slave property was irreparable that her
puoiic securities, created as part of her
war debt, are as dead as Julius Caesar,
and that individual sufferers have 20 look
to peace and the restored prosperity of
the country for reparation Of their for.
\ tunes, which, If ever restored, must be
re-established by their own enterprise
and industry.
