TILDEN's railway record is coming
TO the front just now in such a
manner as to fully explain two things.
The first is the manner in which he
amassed his large fortune, aud the second
is the secret of his opposition to the New
York canals. He made his money out of
interests and counsel fees in land-gra
railways, and his enmity TO the canals
grew out Of his large pecuniary interests IN
rival railways. The very men whom he
was about 10 send TO the penitentiary just
after he became Governor as canal ring
thieves were delegates and strikers for
him at the St. Louis convention. He is a
beautiful specimen Of a Reformerl He
was Cakes Ames' counsel in the Credit
Mobllier contract. He was the purloiner
of the great Chicago and Northwestern
land grant, which made so many men rich
at the expense Of the people of Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. We
will give details soon.

July ii, 1876.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR There has been great rejoicing among
the visitors at the Treasury Department to-
day, for all who desire can quench their thirst
with ice-water. For this boon they are in
debted to THE REPUBLICAN. F.
That is what we live for. To furnish a boon
to any one is 10 increase self happiness. We
had rather give boon to beggar than take
a slice of Stewards will, even if he was our
second cousin. There are different kinds of
boons. A boon companion is a good thing,
and so are many other boons, but none of them
will strike man where he appreciates it in
these warm days as will the boon of water
cooler, trimming full of the. delicious nectar.
That man does not exist to-day who is not
partial to awater-cooler. When the thermome-
ter is 800 in the shade, and the small drops go
trickling, trickling down from the base of the
brain to the bottom of the boots, the sensation
that arises from lingering the faucet OF
water-cooler cannot be compared to any thing
else on earth. Fully approaching this fact
we urged the placing Of coolers in the Treas
ury Department, aud now that is done, we
say
= Drink hearty lads, and lassieS, too,
The nectar nature brews.
Drink all of you the crystal eat,
Drink every time you choose"

THE Ishmaelite of the New York Sun,
and his apes of the Philadelphia Times
and the Baltimore Gazette, all dislike
Governor Hayes letter of acceptance.
This is just what we expected. they
had praised him we should have been
alarmed. AS it is, we are glad to see that
these Ishmaelites are alarmed. They go
for Hayes worse than they ever did for
General Grant. Well, he can stand 1t.
Pitch in Your attempts to misrepresent
the sentiments of his letter deceive no one.
Your tongues are no SANDER and your
abuse is praise

WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, YE AN
GENT DEMOCRATIC REFoRMER.

William Cullen Bryant was early poll
tician, many, many years ago, even at a
period autedatiDg the "pre- adamite Bill
Allen" Mr.. Bryant began political life
as "Federalist, as bitter opponent of
Thomas Jefferson. With Jefferson a
"Federalist" was monarchist," an Gan
tagonist, an "aristocrat." He even de-
tested tie word. He says: 1.-The word
Federal. or its synonym, lie." Hence,
according to Jefferson, the venerable
William Cullen Bryant began political life
as ''monarchist," an antagonist" an
''aristocrat," lie.
But the juvenile William c. did not
tamely acquiesce in such tender political
cognomens. He in turn assailed jefferson.
He savageIy satirized the author of the
Declaration Of Independence, and drew
lively, but not very aattering picture of
Jefferson S personal and political character
istics, as well as of his administration,
thusly, in ''God.like'' songs:
"And thou, the scorn of every patriots name,
Thy country's ruin and her councils shame!
Poor, servile thing! derision of the brave!
Who erst from TarletOn fed to Carriers cave;
Thou who, when menaced by perfdious Gaul,
Did PROSTATE to her whiskered minions fall
And when our cash her empty bags supplied,
Did meanly strive the foul disgrace to hide.
Go, wretch, resign the Presidential chair,
Disclose thy secret measures, foul or fair
Go search with curious eyes for horned frogs
Mid the wild wastes of Louisiana's boys;
Or where the Ohio rolls its turbid stream,
Dig for huge bones, thy glory and thy theme.
Go, scan philosopher, thy SIS charms
And sink supneIy in her sable arms.
But give to ADLER hands the helm of State,
Nor image ruin on thy countrys fate!'
Nevertheless. with grand aud character
istic consistency, at the next turn Of the
political wheel VIM. c., abandoning his
Federalistic notions but free trade-ar-
IDENTITY embraced Jefferson and his Jacobini-
cal doctrines in the persons of his political
successors. He now sported with great
dignity the collar" Of the "spoils party"
He Joined the EcGRiSg Post and Haunted
the banner of Jackson and Van Buren,, of
'.Slamm, Bang & Co." He was now
'.reformer, a political reformer. in tull
career-happy, active and resplendent. His
chief Andrew Jackson, had been elected
as veritsble party regeneration, as sort of
political cathsrtic, upon the most solemn
pledges of reform, retrenchment and econo-
nv, for the purgation of the common
wealth.
tits true that large and very respect
able body of the American people graVely
doubted General jackson S genius as re-
former, denied him all ability as a civilian,
impeached his fitness in every sense for the
Presidency. HIS nomination, indeed, filed
many with honest alarm. The General, in
,orpyious contests, had boldly avowed his

THE two Houses of Congress appear to

But it must be admitted that the Senate has
the advantage il one respect 1t is much

the celebrated Harlan committee of 1889
the damning confession, THAT the country
"has sustained great pecunlary loss no man
"can doubt. That the national character
"has suffered deep humiliation and dis
"grace no man can hesitate to admit"
All through the wholesale and systematic
corruption and crimes OF Democratic re-
form. But the allegiance of William
Cullen Bryant, the Erening Post,
to the party never for a moment
wavered. Their fcalty was invinci-
Bile. Statesmen and patriots celebrated for
their genius and the purity of their charac-
Ter, like Henry Clay and Daniel Webster,
like Reverdy johnson, John ]. Crittenden
and John NJ. Clayton, they literally alb
horred and lampooned with the heartiest
gusto. These were Wings, "Blue Light

"jackall,' Martin Van Buren,, and the
astute author of that grand fundamental
law Of Democratic reform, "To the yictors

the crowned princes of "the party" Loco
foco kings! Democratic Kaisers To
them in their fealty they never halted.
Hence both, with an invincible tenacity
of faith, blind or imperyious to the multi

out every branch of the Government, and

places TO party ends, under Jackson and
Van Buren, and under James X. Polk, with
his vile wars Of conquest superadded,
prostituting the blood and treasure of the
nation in the vilest schemes for the extern
sion Of slavery.
Such was the ancient cavalier Of the
Ecening POst-Wm. Cullen Bryant, We an
Gent Democratic reformer. Is he not an
admirable censor of public morals, quail
fed by the Oldest practical experience as a
very CoryphGus of modern reform-a

they hear that he is unframed.
Parson Brownlow is quite blood-thirsty for
an old man. He says: "These Northwestern
Indians are desperate fighters. We favor, as
we have often said, the complete extcrmina-
ton of these tribes, or, If the reader please,
the wiping out from the face of the earth of
the different tribes. Nothing short of this
will give us peace and safety. This dreadful
massacre is the result of cutting the army
down by the Democratic party" If that be
the case, then the Democratic party is to
blame for the terrible slaughter, and we pre-
sumo that little reflection on the part Of the
Parson will convince him that determination
is deserved in that quarter.

Landl lords agents, real estate brokers, and
owners Of property inform us that there is .
groatlyl increased demand for dwelling houses
n Wilmington At the present time. Opinions
vary ~ to the source Of this demand, but COM
mon testimony 10 borne to its existence Some
attribute IL to the restlessness of the people
an unsatisfed craving for change others to
the general tendency to economy in living, and
others stall to . simple inquiry in tho hope OF
bettsrmont without any fixed determination to
move. One class Of intelligent Observer Of
this state Of things concludes that the demand is
. healthy aud real one such ~ will leave no
comfortable house unoccupied by the lat Of
July next, and upon this hypothesis some own
ers Of dwelling houses have increased their
rents. In one instance which has come to our
knowledge, an advance from 3l5 to e20. per
month has been made. We cannot say that
this advance is general but we know Of numer-
oua cases OF rise. We are led to ono conclusion,
however, from the very many inquiries which
We have made-rents will not BIO any lower. As
one gentleman expresses it, ''rents are strength
oning," and this in one sense he thinks may be
construed into . rise. It Ia evidence, Ut least,
Of foundation for future advance.

upon which people are endeAvoring to econo-
mixe IL house rents. Hence it is that the real
estate agents have so few calls for large houses
Dwellings which are worth from *12, 900 to
els, 600 are not in demand at all, and the great
est difficulty il experienced in obtaining tenants
for them. One gentleman informs US of house
which used to be in demand at 5000. but after .
years idleneaA has been leased for two years At
e450 per Annum. In this class Of buildings, and
even down to those which cost about %, 900, 1t
may be assumed from all the information at hand
that there will be no advance, and II anything 4
decline. But In those costing from %. 900 to
e5 900, should there be no advance, there will be
no reduction, and prices will remain - they now
are, from 41b to $50 per month, according to To-
cation. Another indication Ia that tue unoccu-
pied houses next year will not be ont on the sub
urbs, the tendency being to aggregation in the
built-up portions OF the city.
