Nkw ORLEANS, Sept. 5.-The experience
OF Senators Breaux and Weber and Repre-.
sentative Sauer, who were delegates to the
seventh Judicial District Republican Con.
yention, Illustrates some OF TIE disagreeable
features OF attending such a Convention in
the rural districts OF this State. 1he Con.
yention was held last Saturday at Red River
Landing, on the Mississippi River, Parish
OF Pointe Coupee. When the business of
the Convention had been completed, some
coiored women Of the place approached Sem
aYor Brsaux and informed him that they had
overheard a conversation among a number of
Democrats who were present to the effect
that they intended 10 follow the Republicans
on their departure and waylay and Kill them.
MOST OF the threateners were personally
Known to the Senator. Thereupon he and
senator Weber and Gen. Sauer took a skiff
Tor the purpose Of going below to Texas
Landing TO take a steamboat. A party of
horsemen followed them for some distance
on one shore, but, by rowing close TO the
other side, they were able to keep out of
range. The following business continued
for about 10 miles. BY this time It was
night, and as dark as a full moon would per.
mit.. The men In the ski6, hearing 40 more
OF their pursuers, became careless, and
hauled out In the middle Of the river to get
advantage OF the current. Here they were
greeted by q volley OF shots, all OF which,
however, passed above their heads. They
immediately pulled over to the left bank,
and hnaily reached Texas Landing in safety.

GOV. Hayes's Income Tax! IAN Example
for Samuel j. Tildan.

TOLEDO, o., Sept. THE Commercial
tomorrow morning will contain Il special
telegram from Fremont, Ohio, giving u card
OF Gen. Il. Z. auckland, supported by afii-
davits, denying in toto the allegation that
Coy. Hayes had defrauded in his tax re-
turns in 1874, 1876 and 1876. This card first
recites the charge, as published in the Gin
sinnati Enquirer, and then says! "Birch-
ard in 1873 returned ~, 900 in money, not
personal property, inclusive OF credits as
stated in the dispatch, and 1882 in other
property. In 1872 Birchard returned Sl0,-
600 in money and no credits, and his banker
states he knew he had no such amount;
therefore, Hayes did not receive what was
alleged, As to the watches, the Governor
says the card returns rs published are incor-
rect. Gov. Hayes never had n 1900 watch.
According to the statement Of himself and
other members Of his family, he has three
watches, one worth 500, and two others val
ued only as keepsakes, and worth not to eX-
coed $40. The return for 1874 ought TO have
been, and probably was, for three watches.
The piano dealer declares that Hayes never
owned Il piano until May, 1876. when he
purchased at cost II six hundred dollar one.
Concerning the horses and carriages, the
statement is made, supported by the afi-
davit of the carriage man who sold Hayes
one Of them, that Hayes never owned g
lumber wagon: and u buggy not to exceed
$40; that in 1875 he owned u cutter and ene-
horse wagon, additional, the whole not
worth more than $40. In MAY, 1875, he
purchased an old phaeton, cost $50. and also
a new carriage at a cost Of S415, which. In
April, 1876, was not worth more than $500,
Tie affidavit of the Assessor who listed the
property in 1875 declares that Hayes's
horses were three in number, one % years
old, one 20 and the other n pony. The value
OF The three under the rule agreed upon by
the Assessor was not over SlI5, yet Hayes
fixed the value himself at $500. As to the
household goods in 1873, Orchard returned
5000. In 1874, Hayes returned IL 900; in
1875, So, 200; in 1876, -, 500. The increase
in 1915 was owing to improvements in the
grounds and additions to the library.
Mr.. A. II. Miller. Cashier OF the First
National Bank, Fremont, states under oath
that the only property left by Orchard at
his decease subject to taxation was ST.
1j4 SO; money In bank from $40, 900 to Sl5,-
900; in credits, contracts, notes, etc, his
other personality, which in 1878 listed ut
S0S2, and bank stock, the taxes on which
were regularly paid by the bank. In 1872
Birchard listed credits at $40, 900, and in
1873 at 50, 600. The latter was entered in
correctly as money. Hayes became owner
Of the property at the death Of his uncle,
and all legacies became personal debts. He
state that at no time since Orchards death
has Gov. Hayes not owed more money than
was owing to him. All the material facts
are supported by afldayits.

Why the Democracy Should Not be
Trusted.
From the Washington Republic !

EEohi bC urHlnbtoh NSpuDllC'
For the following reasons Democracy has
no claim upon the loyal people of the Ma
tion for their support or confidence:
l. IL encourages the dangerous heresy OF
States Rights, and educated tho people Of
the South TO rebel against the Government,
2. II refused, when In power, TO take
steps against the threatened disruption Of
the Union, and permitted the rebellion to
assume formidable proportions when
prompt action would have crushed II in its
inception.
3. BY its oft-expressed sympathies for the
rebel cause during the prosecution Of the
War 1t held out false hopes to the Confed-
crates, and thereby prolonged the conflict
at the expense of hundreds OF thousands Of
lives and millions Of treasure.
4. When victory was about to crown our
efforts TO preserve the Union 1t resolved In
national convention that the War was q fail
ure and demanded that 1t should cease.
8. Since the close Of the war 1t has placed
every obstacle possible In the way OF an hou.
orable and peaceful adjustment OF the oues-
lions growing out OF the abolition OF slave
ry and the changed condition Of affairs incl.
dental to the close Of an exhaustive war.
8. 1t opposed In Congress, and In the sew.
eral State Legislatures, the adoption Of the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth
Amendments, and, failing to defeat them,
has continued It's opposition by teaching Its
bound TO obey or respect them.
7. II has approved, either by silence or
open defense, the outrages committed by the
Democrats Of the South on those who differed
from them In political opinion.
3. II represents the worst elements OF So
ciety, the Ignorance and vice OF the North,
and the disloyal sentiment OF the South.
.. Its retu n 10 power would tend to de-
stroy our credit by adding To our already
heavy debt claims OF doubtful character
growing out OF the rebellion, and pressed
for payment by Democratic influence.
10. II Is the same old party that was driven
from power In 1869 by an indignant people,

Tilden, the Bogus Reformer


&c.,
samuel j. Tflden, the bogus reformer, Is
catching 1t on all sides. His political friends
are calling upon him 70 come out and ex-
pAin the charges against him, while he,
poor fellow, looks tremblingly on, and sees
tne vision Of the White House fading before
nis sight. The truth is hard TO rub out, and
thls MT. Tilden knows. He has tried 10 ex.
plain his connection with Tweed, and his
connection with the Democratic Conyen-
ton at Chicago, In 1854, but the more he ex-
plains the worse II ia for him. but his In
come returns for 1872, and his answer TO The
Slfcuit Court Of New York, In 1875, have
evidently proven too much for him. In 1858

Of 1858 and 1879. II you cheated Uncle sam

Wolves in Russia.

In 1873, in one government, that OF
Nologda, with an area of $4,000 square
versts, they killed 14,CO0 head of large
cattle and $4,000 head Of small; in the
Kazan government, in a space of only
$4,000 square versts, they killed 5000
large and 2G,0C0 small, of an aggregate
value of 264 eco rubles, the population
Of this government being only l,'l5,OOO.
In the st. Petersburg government the
losses are smaller, but even there, in
the same year, property was destroyed
by wolves to the extent of $4,000
roubles.
In ~ Russian governments, exclusive
of the Baltic provinces and Poland,
74l,900 head of cattle were destroyed
in one year, making II loss to the II
try Of over 100000 roubles (more
than $1,000 ,0C0).
Russia is a thinly populated country,
and, perhaps, the above loss appears
ever more striking when considered in
reference to area. Putting aside eight
out of the forty-tive governments, the
loss on the remaining thirty-eight
amounting to three copecks on every
d~cciatine of 81 acres.
The amount that wolves will eat is
enormous. In two or three hours a pair
will eat the half of Il horse weighing $50
kilogrammes, they themselves not
weighing more than SO kilogrammes.
A dangerous popularity is their trick Of
seeming to be dead. Apeasant found a
wolf apparently dead on the ground,
beat him with a cudgel, and took him
home on his sledge for the sake of his
skin. In the night he heard a noise.
and found the animal on the table. 1t
jumped at his throat, and his wife, who
rushed for help, found him dead on her
return.
The number of wolves in Russia can
not be less than 100000, and they eat
of feathered game alone 100000 900
head. In 1875 no less than two hum
dred human beings were destroyed by
wolves. A comparison is instituted be-
tween the losses occasioned by cattle
plague and fires as against those caused
by wolves, and, extraordinary as it may
seem, the proportion of damage done
by wolves as compared with cattle
plaques is as 200 to $40.

All of us remember the courteous
Due de Caislin, who took an equally
courteous R~hinegrave prisoner and
shared his bed with him, and how the
two polite warriors, to give each other
the mattress, slipped ~courteously upon
the floor and left the bed unoccupied
between them. In due time the Kline
grave went to Paris and called on his
captor. There was such a profusion of
compliments on leaving that the pris-
oner finally "a out and locked the
door outside. The Duke jumped out
of the window, and when the German
got to the gate there was the Duke, as
large and polite a life. He had put
out his thumb by the leap, and called
in the surgeon Felix to set it. Soon
afterwards the surgeon called ON his
patient, and found the cure perfect.
As he was leaving, the Duke accom-
panied him to the door, and must needs
open it. Another contest Of courtesy,
the Duke opens it at last--and puts out
his thumb again.
