- DALLAS, the "Queen City" Of
Northern Texas, sends forth, in behalf
of the State of Texas, the following
challenge: We challenge each and ev-
cry State in the Union to meet US in a
friendly contest in November next to
see which can roll up the largest ma
iority for Tilden and Hendricks, che
prize to be splendid silk banner
The terms are these: Il any State gives
~ larger majority for Tilden and Hen
bricks than is given by the State of
Texas, then Dallas sill give. to chat
State a splendid silk banner. But if
'Fexas gives q larger majority for Un-
Gle Samuel than any other State, then
the State giving che next targess ma
jority must send q banner to Texas,
Dallas to be its custodian. Whichever
State wins the banner is 60 be consid-
cred the Democratic banner State of
the Union, and is to hold on to the flag
until the next Presidential election,
aud then give it up to any other State
which may win 1t by giving the largest
Democratic majority.

A FAILURE AS A SaEEp1sT.--The
one sheep owned by the Republican
candidate for President, and listed
by him in his return to the tax gath
erer, is a living monument to his in
capacity as a man Of affairs. Gov:
Hayes swore in 1875 that his sheep
was worth FIVE dollars. In 1875 he
stated under oath that the animal
was worth only two dollars. Now, if
Hayes SO administered the affairs Of
a sheep that it deprecated in value
sixty per cent. in single year, how
many years would it take him to
bankrupt the nation?-[New York

-sREPuBLrcANs admit that in the
Vermont elections the Democratic
gains are relatively the largest
The Republican majority in the
State is less than in 1872 or 1865
The Republican, papers commit a
fraud by making comparisons with
other years and light vote, instead
of with the full vote of Presidential
years. The same percentage Of gains
the Democrats have made in Yer.
mont would elect Tilden and Hen
bricks. The total vote in the State
;s enormous and indicates the
immense interest in this years
election.

rendered lis 1862, excluding previous,
years, % with an estimate Of uncol-
lected accounts" or "unrealized in
come" froal the business or services
os 1862, are the items to be included.
This same idea was enforced in the
Commissioners subsequent, instruc-
tons of that year, and more minute
ly 60 revenue collectors. In fact, the
Commissioner made this so clear
that no one had q. doubt as to the
meaning; so all of us, in preparing
our returas of income from our bust
ness, included what we had earned,
and not what We had collected, in
1862; and if Governor Tilden per-
jnred himself in making his return
in that way, every honest man in the
country did tie same. Our city
newspapers concurred in this view,
as may be seen from their remarks
published at that time in further ex-
PLANTATION Of what the Commissioned
said.
Now, turning to this $4,000 item;
we find the answer states that it was
seceiyed in 1862, but for services
which were commenced prior to the
year 1852" and were rendered from
time 20 time during period of three
years" In othes words, according
&c this statement, no portion Of the
amount vas earned in 1862, but all
Of is during the three years 1859;
1860 and 1861. Could anything be
clearer, therefore, than that the
amount in question was not to be in-
Aud yet we find some of

a BRAVE MASSACHUSETTS SoL0sER
FOR TiLDES General W. T., Dartlets
has, IN an interview with a correspond
ent of the Boston Post, announced
that he is in favor Of Y;lden's electioa,
u declaration which will probably not
attract much attention from. the Re
publican press, although it lie really on
important event in the canvass 10 Mas
sachusetts. General Bartlett was one
osthe most gallant officers who went
out from Massachusetts during the war
and has been in sympathy with the
general purposes of the Republican
party since the war. Those purposes
he evidently thinks are practically ac-
complished, and lie denounces in round
terms the efforts Of General Dis to
keep alive, or rather to iecusitate, the
old war feeling by such devices as the
"rallyin:" Of the '.Boys in blue"
which can only have sl,c effect of Civ
ing good political cover to tho dra-.
gooning of the Southern States by real
troops. General Bart!ett's detection
means mischief for the Republicans in
the western part Of the State, and with
a Prohibilory ticket in the field, as
there will be, and the growing proha-
bi.ity of the nomination Of Adams, il
looks as if the result was likely to be
close, though it is Only fair to say that
the Republicans are confident Of carry
ing the State.-(N. Y. Nation. =
