1859, and modified from time to time,
and this earlier agreement was itself the
result of prolonged negotiations, the af.
fairs of the road being almost hope1essly
involved with conflicting claims and in
terests. Pursuant to this preliminary
agreement possession of the entire rail
road had been obtained as far back as
December 12, 1859.
Tenth Item. -"December 13, Fees dur
ing year from Chicago and Northwest
ern Railroad Company, $40, ,000.7
This item is totally false. Mr.. Tilden
reeeiUed no fees, compensation or payments
from the Chicago and Northwestern Rotzscay
Company IN the gear 1862.
Elegenth Itena-s'Fees during year
from Toledo and Wabash Railroad Com
pany, $4,000"
The reckIessness of this falsehood will
appear when it is known that the Toledo
and Wabash Railroad Company 1aecer, at
any time, was a client of Mr.. Tilden's,
and that he neuer IN the gear 1862, or at
any other time reee5oed any fees from that
company no1 rendered them any professional
service ac1tateoer.
IS0elfh Item.-"Share of bonds retain
ed for services during year connected
with the reconstruction of the Chicago
aud Alton Railroad Company, $25, ,000."
No bonds acre retained or receiced for
such serc5ces in 1862, nor was so large
amount ever received, including expen-
ses and disburse ments. Services were
rendered, and no doubt they were taken
into account in computing the gross
earnings Of that year.
Tdirteenh and last Hena.-"S Salary as
Trustee and President of the Balance
Dock Company, $1,000"
This item of 81, 900 is correct except
as to the date, and is the only one of the
whole thirteen of which that can be
said.
At the onset of these attacks on Gov.
Tilden, in regard to his taxable income
for 1865, still another allegation was
made, as if on positive knowledge,
namely, that he had received from the
st. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Rail-
road Company $33, 600 in first mortgage
bonds during that year.
This charge is unqualifedIy false; and
now that it has been pointed out in the
public journals that the complaint itself
in the st. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute
suit showed these bonds not used up to
the year 1864, as the charge appears to
have been abandoned even by the Times,
which newspaper, after asserting the
fact in positive terms, subsequently pub
lished report of committee of that
company, also antagonistic to Mr.. Til
den, but which showed that i'll 1870
these bonds were still in the hands of
the Purchasing Committee, and so could
not have formed any part of his income
in 1862. Respectfully yours,

ton. The riot of yesterday is the
frst result of this policy. Every
colored Democrat is marked man,
and threatened with death. The
National Democratic Committee are
in daily receipt Of letters from the
colored men in the South. that they
are even refused communion in their
churches if they vote the Democratic
ticket. One colored man writes:
I'VE have to be very secret; if it
we're known that we were Democrats,
our wives would refuse to live with
u.s." Negro Democratic speakers
are threatened with assassination and
a reign of terror is inaugurated, with
the deliberate purpose of checking
the expression Of Democratic senti-
ment among the negroes. %4I
That there is no conflict between
the negro and white races in the
South, except such as is created and
kept alive by Republicans for politi-
cal reasons, is absolutely proven by
the harmony existing between the
races wherever the Democracy is in
the ascendency.

Hayes Tax Returns-The. Accu-
satiOns Stated Briefly and
in Order.
From the Chicago Times.

1. With full knowledge of the
requirements of the law, r. B. Hayes
has persistently neglected to list his
property subject to taxation.
2. He has for three years made
false oath as to the value of his pro-
perty above his just debts.
3. He has sworn that, in 1864, his
property was worth only $2.5Sf,
when that portion of it liable to be
taxed turned 100000.
4. lie has refused for three wears
to list his gallery of paintings and a
diamond that fell to him as a resi-
duary legatee-$5, 900.
5. He never paid any money to-
ward the Fort Stevenson purchase,
although he says he did, for the pur-
pose of explaining the remarkable
falling off in the exhibits of figures
from 1878 to 1874.
6. He had in 1874-75-'76. about
$4,000 worth of credits, in the shape
of mortgages, which he did not list,
and, more than this, perjured himself
by swearing he was not possessed Of
them.
z. He had three horses in 1874,
and swore he had but one.
8. He had three watches in 1874,
and swore he had but one.
8. He has had the use of thirty
odd thousand dollars, left as be-
quests by his uncle, for which he
makes no return.
10. He has disregarded the law,
and made no return to the Probate
Court Of Sandusky County for the
executorship of his uncle's will.
IL. la short, Ruthford be HAYES
has been guilty of false swearing for
the past three years, and has swim
died his country and the State of
Ohio out of large share of their
just revenues.

The Chances.
From the Lynehburg News.

We have been asked several times
to give the figures upon which we
base the hope that is in US of Mr..
'Tilden's election We feel it in our
bones, but that is simple faith, We
feelt that he would be nominated,
notwithstanding what the Congress-
ionaly delegates said when inter-
viewed; we felt this because we
were satisfied the people were look
for just such man. We are salts
fed that the people want him elected,
and many who vote against him, in
their hearts hope that he will be
elected. We give our trust in fig
ures thus. Every candid Republi-

A Macedonian Howl from Hayes

N. Y. World.
There is a general panic all along
the Republican, lines. The leaders
have virtually given up Indianna for
October, and to break the force of
their certain defeat there. thev pro-
fess to feel sure that the State will
go for Hayes in November. Vain
hope And now they are forced to
acknowledge their fears that Ohio is
also lost to them. This is made
very plain by Mr.. Blain's letter
printed below.It seems that Cover
nor Hayes himself has taken the
alarm, and personally calls upon Mr..
Blaine for help in his bitter extremi-
ty. 1t is not usual for a Prcsiden-
tial candidate, we believe, to mix in
campaign in his own behalf so
openly, and the fact that Governor
Hayes does SO is pretty good evi-
dence of the desperation Of his cause.
The letter was sent by Mr.. Blaine to
Philadelphia TO excuse himself from
addressing meeting there on Satur-
day, as he had engaged to do. Thus
runs the fatal Epistle to the Phila-
delphians:
s'CoNooRD, N. H., Sept 81, 1876.

Wiko1f. Chairman Of the Republican
State Committee of Ohio, advise me

day, and am coDanad1sdeE to go t1 Ohio L
obey instructions, and go gladly where
it is thought l may be most useful l
hope that later in the campaign I may
have the pleasure of meeting my Phila-

confidence upon such kindly explana-

relieve me from the thought of lightly

highly complimented.

Speech of Andrew j. Chambers,
of Arkansas (COIOred.)
Fr.m the Albany Argus. Sept.

Mr.. Chambers is a slight built
well-dressed colored man, apparent
ly about thirty years of age. He
impresses the listener at once with
the idea that he is honest and sim
cere, and that his course is prompt
ed by correct impulses. When he
advanced to speak, the audience ap-
peared at once to be in sympathy
with him, and he had scarcely ut
tered his first sentence, when it was
evident that he bad taken his hear
ers by storm. He said the South
wanted a change. The intelligent,
thinking negroes of the South want
ed a change, and every poor work
ing man wanted change. What
he said for his own race was, that
the Republican party had long
enough made capital out of the col.
ored man. In the South they began
to understand it. The truth Of the
political situation was dawning upon
them at last. The carpet-bagger and
his government had been to them q
a greater curse than the pests Of
Egypt. The colored man wanted
no more of that tide. Their true
friends in the South were the South
ern white men, and not the Northern
carpet-baggers who had followed the
army as suffers and hangers on.
There was no real antagOnism be-
tween the Southern white man and
the negroes. All they wanted was
to be let alone by the carpet-baggers
and politicians, and the whites and
blacks of the South would work out
their destiny together. The white
race were Gods chariot of fire, con-
veying civilization and Christianity
to the world, and the intelligent
black race were ready and aXious to
link their destiny with. them. They
did not want antagonisms. They
wanted harmony they wanted uni
ty. Since the Democrats had carri-
ed Arkansas, not a negro had been
murdered. What the Republicans
wanted was Southern outrages. They
could make capital at the North ont
of the murder of Southern negroes.
But the whites and blacks OF the
South courted no such ealamities.
In States where the Democrats had
gained control in the South, there
was peace and concord between the
races-there was no war. He want.
ed Liberty for all. He did notwant
the coercion of Cameron order or OF
Taft's instructions. He was for
''home rule" local self-government
He knew of one socie ~ that was
swindled out of 81. zoo by the failure
of the Freedmen's Savings Bank
The Freedmen Bureau was another
swindle, and he was gratelul John
son for vetoing it. He was fol

York or the North might say, The
South had seen enough of the Re
publican party, and they wanted {
change and Samuel j. Tilden fol

Total 7S
Now, out OF these doubtful States.
the Radicals must get 127, or they
are defeated, and the Democrats
have only to get 50votes to succeed.
In other words, the Republicans, in
addition to the 78 doubtful States,
as to which the probabilities are in
their favor, must get 40 votes out of
those doubtful. but az to which the
probabilities are that they will vote
Democratic. If therefore the Demo-
Gratis carry New York and Indiana
that gives the so, or New York,
Louisiana and Mississippi. 81; or
Ohio. Indiana, Colorado, Nevada,
Florida and Louisiana, 55. It is
therefore apparent that if Mr.. Til
den carries New York. or losing New
York, carries Ohio and Indiana or
Pennsylvania. he is President. The
Republicans must get 40 votes out
of the doubtful Democratic States,
and it would seem that unless they
can carry New York their chance is
almost hopeless. Give them Ohio
and Indiana, and still they lack 12
votes, and the best chance for these
is Louisiana and Florida Take New
York out of the doubtful States,
Hayes must get 49 out Of 69 doubt
full electoral votes. The result would
be that the loss of Ohio or Indiana
would render his election impossible.
! It Is therefore clear to our mind that
if Mr.. Tilden carries New York the
election of Hayes is next to impos-
sible, while Mr.. Tilden might lose
! New York or Indiana, and still have
a fair chance of election. No candi-
date has ever been defeated for the
Presidency for who so fair and inn
partia a calculation could be made.
Now. few words on the ground
| of the calculation as to the doubtful
States and the reasons for our classi-
fication. We have put Colorado and
Nevada, Democratic. because both
are politically controlled by Callfor-
MIA, and this last State is regarded
overwhelmingly for Tilden. All the
rest have Democratic delegations in
/ Congress, and all their last elections
! have been Democratic, and we might
properly and with great reason have
put Illinois, Massachusetts, Penn
! sylvania and Wisconsin in the same
list, for in the last Congressional
election we carried all -four ny hand
some majorities. And the fact that
in ancient times before the war
neither a Wing or an abolitionist
stood any chance in New Hampshire
and that the war alone carried her to
Republicanlsm makes her very doubt
ful. Michigan, also, which we have
given as certain to the Radicals. is
not so certain, if the German vote
goes to Tilden. We have made as
fair and impartial calculation as
we can make. Candidly, soithout
figures aud going by feeling, we think
Mr.. Tilden will have q majority of
| SO electoral votes.

CoIOred Men Who Vote the
Democratic Ticket Demand
Protection.

AS an evidence of the fact that it
is Republicans who practice intimi.
dation in the South, and in proof Of
the charge that all the troubles be-
tween the races in tie Southern
States, are brought about by design
ing Republican politicians who use
the negroes as their tools. the follow
ing account of the Charleston riot,
from the New York Herald, is con.
elusive:
I'm every Southern State the col.
ored voters are Joining Tilden and
Hendricks Clubs. In Alabama and
Arkansas they went peacefully to
the polls and voted the Democratic
ticket by thousands. Tt is evident
that the negroes have learned, that
under the Democratic rule, as in
Georgia, Arkansas and Alabama.
their property is protected, and their
rights guarded. while in those States
under Radical rule. they are used by
political adventures for their own
ends. They are therefore Joining
the Democratic party in large num-
bers, in every Southern State.
The Republican leaders have be,
come alarmed at this detection, and
the order has gone forth to stop it
by bloodshed if necessary. Attorney
General Taft has issued an order in,

LIVER CITY, NEW, TUESDAY, MARCH IA, 1875.
Hill City, the next town in impor

Hill City, the next town in import
ance, is located on Spring Creek, and
has about thirty houses. The exagge-
rated stories that have been so freely
circulated concerning the Black Hills
will be easily understood when it is
known that last fall, when the mines
were struck, large majority of the
prospectors held claims in all the dis
coveries, and that in laying out the
towns, to every person was allotted
piece Of ground for a business
location, besides another for a resi-
dence, which were held by virtue
of a deed from the recorder of the
locality. As this deed and the
presence of four logs was the tenure
by which every patch of town
property was held. it is apparent
that every man in the Hills availed
himself Of this cheap method of be-
coming an executor in real estate,
and a large immigration became a
matter of prime necessity. How
well this scheme has succeeded, is
seen by the accounts of the great
rush of immigrants from every por-
tion of the States, which was ex-
ceeded only by the great exodus
in California in 1849-'50. But the
miners from the territories have not
readily caught at the bait, and it is
noticeable that comparatively few
of that class have been duped.
