and held a. thing of value. Nor is this

and held as thing of value Nor is this
all. Bills for rebel claims aggregating
hundreds of millions Of dollars were in
troduced in the lower house of the last
Congress. Should the Democratic party
triumph in the election of next Novem-
Der, and finally secure control of the United
States Senate, the bills for rebel claims
would be passed and approved by the
President, and the first step would thus
be taken in the recognition of the Justice
of the rebellion and the consequent equity
of the claim for the payment of the Con
federate bonded debt, and the payment of
pensions TO rebel soldiers. Much has been
said and written on the subject Of Con
gressional corruption. 1t is believed that
the passage of the railway subsidy
schemes was promoted by the use of cor.
ruption funds If this be true we put it
To taxpayers whether the association of
capitalists holding 5000 900 600 in Con
federatc States bonds would not be able
to organize an almost irresistible lobby in
the interest of the Confederate debt? We
put IT to them: Could Democratic
House, Democratic Senate, and Demo
cratic President all owing their election
mainly to the South, and all relying main
ly upon the South for continuance in pow
er--could they resist the united demand of
the South, backed by the most powerful
lobby that ever hung on the flanks of a
legislative body?

Here is sworn statement that he re.
,eived $50 600 in 1862 for one legal job,
and yet he returns only SI1lS of income
for that year! As the New York Times
says :" At that period his professional
income was VIGOROUSLY very large He
could hardly have received less than 500
600 from other sources. On the other
hand, his return for 1868 shows that the
entire amount of deductions to which he
was entitled by law was less than So, 900,
yet in 1862, if his return was honest, he
deducted at least $4,000, and probably
nearly $40. 600 of his income that year
escaped taxation Moreover, his return
for 1868 discloses about Sl3 900 of income
from permanent investments. Is it at all
probable that he had such an income from
investments in 1868, and had no income
whatever from investments in 1862 -

Tilden's Perjury.
OCEAN.

We have referred to the startling ex-
posure Of Samuel j. Tilden's fraudulent
practices IN making false returns of his
income in order to escape paying taxes
for the support of the Union in its war
against the shareholders rebellion. But
most readers will be apt to think the
charges are put forth for electioneering
purposes, and cannot be true; that it is inn
possible to suppose a candidate for the
Presidency could DC guilty of both per
jury and fraud in matter of this kind.
This very thought has greatly staggered
us, and rendered it exceedingly difficult
to believe that Tildcn could be guilty of
what is alleged. But what is the expla-
nation of the two following aflirmations
made by Mr.. Tilden:
