EASTERN DISPATCHES.

New York, Sept. 13.-The Herald
gives the following as the line of defence
advanced by Governor Tilden: tn 1861,
the period OF alleged false returns, his
brothers, Henry and Moses, lately de-
ceased, were in the chemical manufatury
business in Lebanon, but became finan-
cially embarrassed to such degree that
ruin was inevitable unless prompt and
ample relief came to hand. In this cri-
sis Governor Tilden advanced at differ
ent dates large sums of money, amount
ing to several hundred thousand dollars,
out of his earnings, which was lost.
These, he claims, left his income at the
figure in his sworn statement, and this is
the defence to the charge of perjury.
The document when published will, of
course, be more voluminous but it is be-
lieved that the essential points are en-
braced above.
The Tribune's editorial says there was
spirited contest yesterday at Creed
more in the short and middle range
matches. In the first contest 20 rifemen
made from Al to As points each out of
possible So In the second contest the
shooting was still better, the average of
the 20 beet competitors being higher.
First prizes in both cases were won by
Americans. Mr.. Jewell showed extraor-
binary skill in scoring so points at mid
ranges, the highest number that could be
attained. The contest to-day will excite
further intesest for the championship of
the world. Whoever wins we may feel
proud of our rifemen.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 13.-Noon--
The Democratic State Convention is re-
assembling, but all efforts to unite the
delegates in favor of any candidate for
Governor, until late last night. was
futile, everything was at sea. Finally
preferences settled on Dewitt G. West on
the part of the anti-Tildenites and Comp.
troler Lucius Robinson of Tildenites;
but West peremptoriy declined and
withdrew. His refusal to run leaves the
contest apparently between Robinson
and Potter with no rivals deserving to
compete with them. Robinson is OBJ.
