The deacon came in to meet his

iilden's Testimony .aGainS: Ti:den.

From. the Chicago Tribune.
The feeble effort Of the Chicago
Times to divert the public attention from the
charge ofperiury made against Samuel J. TIL
den by its specuIa:ions as to whether Or not
Gov. Hayes paid as large a State tax as he
ought to have paid on his personal property
is likely to be a dismal failure The Repub-
lcan press have not raised the question SIM
ply as to whether Mr.. Tilden paid as much
tax as he ought to have paid in certain year
or term of years, estimating his property at
certain millions ofdollars which it IS suppos-
ed to be worth. They have not vaguely and
indefinitely charged that Mr.. Ti[den may
have had E1ore property than he pretended
to have when tax gatherer came around.
Such charge is easily made against every
man, whether q candidate tor President or
not, and it is SO common that it no longer ar
rests attention. Nor is it worthy in any case
OF serious consideration, because no man can
Judge positively OF the condition of another
ma!l:s private Affairs, Or estimate anothers
private possessions at their real value. A
good many men who have been believed to
he millionaires have turned out at death, or
by their own confessions in bankrupt courts,
to be insolcent. But in Mr.. Tilden's case.
the only witness who has been summoned is
MIR. Tiden himself, iy citing lis two sworn
The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1876-09-20
hat Mr.. Mlden in 1876 swore the truth in re-

that MIR. lilden i'll 1876 swore the truth in re-
gard to the receipt Of the $4,000 in 1862, and
! therefore that he swore falsely when he, in
1868, made an affidavit that his income tor
Inc previous year from all sources was only
$Illo. There was no purpose for Mr.. Til
den's swearing the Alton 4 Terre Haute COM
pany paid him $50, 900 in 1862 unless he act
ually received it; but there was no purpose
III his swearing that his income from all
sources Tor that year was only 81, 1lS, viz: to
avoid the payment of the income tax Oh what
ne received over and above that amount,
There are other reasons for believing that
MI. Illden sW0re to the truth in his recent
statement, and therefore swore falsely in
1868. One of these is that it is known his
habit was to charge exorbitant fees, as con-
trmed by the statement that in the same
year he charged the Pittsburg, Fort WAYNE
chicago Company 900, and the Chicago
northwestern S2O,0O0 tor services rendered.
Another reason is that Mr.. Tilden swore his
income was less than that of other lawyers
who had no great railwa; clients at enor
NOUS ices; as, for instance, in the same year
Edwln u. Stoughton returned his income
subject to taxation at $40, 900, William NJ.
Evarts at S22, 500, Daniel Lord at S2e, 1924,
Charles O'Conor at S34,G97, William C. Bar
rett at 1886, Samuel (now Judge) Batch
ford at Sl4, 1877, and James T. Brady at 81, 1877.
Yet MIR. Tilden swore his income was only
which have been more or less enumerated. to
believe that, of his two contradictory state
ments under oath, that one is false in which
he swore his entire income for 1862 was only
=, us, and that one is true in which he swore
ba: he received Sc, 00| from single client
la that year.
When the Chicago Times or any other Dem
ocratic Newspaper can produce two sworn
statements by Gov. Hayes in one OF which he
virtually sWeacs that he swore falsely in the
other, it will be time to make this al offset to
Tllden's perjury; but, in the meantime, no
partisan speculations Us to what tax Gov.
Hayes ought to have paid in a certain year is
likely to command attention. In tact, the
adoption Of such speculations as the only an
swer to be made to Tilden'> evidence against
himself is a confession that Tilden's perjury
cannot be explained or defended, and that
the only hope is to paint Hayes equally as
black. Then why not adhere at once to the
charge OF murder Which the Times has made
against Gcv. Hayes 1t is great deal more
startling, and the evidence OF Hayes guilt as
murderer is. at the worst, stronger than
mere speculation as to his personal property
and tax. Besides, "lnurder will OUT" but
tax returns can hardly he verified when the
man who has sworn to them subsequently
sWears that they were false, as Il!den has
done

States Bonds.

The new bonds are to be printed up
on fibre paper and with the latest re-
finementS of geOmetrical lathe work.
The $50 bonds bear vignette Of DIV

of Thomas Jefferson; those for $500,
one Of De Witt Clinton: those for
$1,000, one Of Alexander Hamilton:
those for $4,000, one of John Quincy
Adams, and those for $4,000. one of
General George II. Thomas. They are
payable at the option Of the govern
ment after 1891. The coupon bonds
have sixty coupons attached to them
and are somewhat larger than the old
ten-forties. There are two bands Of
blue fibre extending across each bond
and its coupons. On the faces of all
the bonds is an engraving Of the CAPT.
tol at Washington. TO the ri;ht are
the words ''Principal and interest pay.

the words Funded loan of l69l.''
The coupons, which are payable quar-
terly, contain vignettes corresponding
to those of the bond from which they
are to be cut. From this time out all
those who want to buy these bonds
will have to seek them in open com.
