Exact sam Tilden.

Mr.. Tilden made out his income return
for 1862 and 1868 with great precision.
For 1862 he stated it with curious exact
ness at $1,l1S. He would not call 81, 100,
because he would have to pay tax on two
dollars too much. He would not call il
s, 100, because the Government would
lose the tax on eighteen dollars, to which
it was clearly entitled, and this consci-
entlous man could not permit
The figures, the odd eighteen dollars,
demonstrate "A care, method and knowledge
of his income which showed the result
was arrived at, not by any guessing and
loose estimates from defective memory,
but from books, and cash account of
receipts and expenditures, and due entries
of profit and loss. 1t was this precision
and careful mention of the odd dollars
which made the return pass muster, and
convinced the Assessor that he was deal
ing with a man of certainty who was moi
likely to be tripped in statement so pos
tive that it appeared to be an actual trans
cript from the lawyers ledger.
But since the appearance of the oath ad-
hitting the receipt of 100000 from a
single source during the same year, all
the care, method and precision which
were SO conspicuous in the return have
vanished. All that Tilden had to do in
order to prove that he made his return of
1862 in good faith was To show his books
and point out how he reached the odd
Sis That were as easy rs rolling of a
log, one would think; but instead of Civ
ing the books and the figures, Tilden says
nothing, and James p. Sinnott, confden-
rial clerk, and the arithmetic man of the
World, are put forward with quantity of
generalities. They say the income, after
making certain authorized deductions, "
was about seven thousand dollars, - and
that - a portion of the $50, 900 was earned
in previous wears" Why not tell us how
much was earned in previous years. Why
not name the authorized deductions. Why
not say, As Tilden did, that the net sum
was S1,l1s, no more and no less, and give
the items which make those figures That
Is the way a business man does that Is
the way Tilden made the Assessor believe
he was doing; and now it all diSSolveS INTO
an indefinite, fogcy statement of about
So much, and portions, and - some
authorized deductions and equivalent
phrases, and the public is made to believe
that there never was anything very accu-
rate pretended. That won't do, gentle
men.
Tilden claimed to be very acCdrate. He
even erased the first figures which were
about" 81 600, and made new ones, put
ting in the odd dollars, thus showing care
full revision. and the discovery and correC-
ton Of an error. Now give Us the books

rels on the line of religion. Every man that
has got a black skin is not accountable for
II. No man is accountable for where he was
born. No man has any right to coUnt the
vote Of any other nan for his religion. That
belongs to himself and his God. But be-
fore this we have got to stand in perfect
equality, clothed in the panoply of common
American citizenship, and then, when every
man In this country that has the right 10

power was not mighty enough or strong
enough to trample on the rights Of the hum

And tell YOU, gentlemen, that the United

of all the nations Of the earth, is not yet,
and never will be, strong enough TO trample
on the Constitutional rights Of the hum

TURKE Y.
GEN. ZACH'S DEFEAT CON.
EIRMED.
Serious Losses OF the Servians.

LONDON, July 10.-A despatch from Bel
grade, summing up the operations of 1.-THE last
eight days, says that the Servians have fought
ten actions, and lost five thousand men.
During the attack of General Olympic on
Berlina, the Turks massacred all the Christian
inhabitants.
The Bulgarian instruction is reported to be
spreading rapidly.
The report of the defeat Of General Zach at
Sienitza, has been verified from various sources.
His force was almost annihlated, and the
wounded are arriving almost hourly from Bel
grade. 1000 men left Belgrade for the frontier
on Saturday, and all the heavy guns at the dis.
posal of the government have been transported
to the fortress. Several batteries of torpedoes
are to be placed in the Danube as Turkish
aeet has already passed the iron gates The
Servians wounded report terrible details about
fighting at Berlna. Turkish women fired
from the windows with revolvers on the Servi-
an troops.
A decisive battle is expected in the neighbour
hood of Nissa, between Tchernayeff, who COM
mands the main Servian army, and Osman
Pacha who is at the head of the principal
Turkish force. If the Servians are defeated,
they will probably inaugurate guerilla warfare
to tire out the Turks and procure European in
tervention.
LONDON, July 11.-Despatch to the Standard
from Alexandria says the Egyptian troops
were ssarting yesterday for Turkey. 1t is ru-
mored that 1900 men are under orders for the
Turkish service.
A special to the Estafelle reports that Tcher-
nayef is retreating towards the Servlan from
tier. His army is demoralized and there are
rumors of his dismissal.
VIENNA, July lit is reported from Herze-
govina that the Montenegrin army numbers
$4,000. 1t has occupied the road between Kick
and StolatZ, invested MEDIUM and intends to
surround Spuz and Stabablick. Its movements
are kept secret as far as possible.

GOV. HAYES LETTER.
Opinions of the New York Press.


New YORK, July 10.-The Herald says that
Gov. Hayes letter of acceptance is a fair, dis
Greet document, of which the one-term idea is
the strong point, and the school idea the weak
one.
The Tribune says that Governor Hayes has
spoken, and his voice has no uncertain sound.
1t utters clear, manly, unequivocal declara-
ton of principles which embody the strongest
desires of all honest and thinking American
citizens. The country has waited to hear from
him something more distinct and assuring than
the vague promises of the Cincinnati platform,
and it will not be disappointed.
The Times says that the letter of Governor
Hayes accepting the nomination leaves moth
ing to be desired. 1t is the manly, frank and
explicit declaration of a sincere and able man.
If there are any who have had doubts as to
General Hayes possession of the pronounced
characteristics required in the leader of the Re
publican party at this juncture, this letter
ought to go far to cause them to dismiss such
doubts.
The World says that there is not one hearty,
outspoken word in it, from beginning to end
The Sun says tina. it is weak letter.

THE INDIANS.
Reinforcements for Gen. Crook.

kelnfOrcements for Gen. Crook.
NEW YORK; July 10.-A letter dated June
%, from the camp on Cheyenne river, of the
Fifth colored regiment, states that they are en-
route to join General Crook, and awaiting the
arrival of General Merritt, their new COM
mander.
Several accommodating parties have been sent
out from the camp, nearly all of which found
trails OF Indian war-parties who had gone from
Red Cloud and other agencies, to Join Sitting
Bull, as was expected by General Crook. No
trail was found of any Indians returning to the
agencies
Water is very scarce.
Volunteers Offering.
WASHINGTON, July 10-The Secretary of
from all parts of the west, offering volunteers
for the Indian war, but there is now no law
which will admit of these offers being enter
tanned.
Up to noon to-day no official reports from the
Indian country had reached the War Depart
ment.
Probably n Canard.
Great excitement was caused here this after
noon by report that Gen. Crooks command
had again met the Indians and that Crook was
killed. Up to o'clock nothing had been heard
at headquarters of the army to confirm the re-
port and it is believed to be without founda-
ton.
Ldter-The report that Gen. Crook had been
killed and several companies of his command
annihilated is not credited here, nothing having
been heard of it at Department headquarters.
Cheyenne dispatches say there is no truth in it
so far as is known.
