Gov. Tllden's IncOme Tax.
ANSWER To THE CHARGE OF HAvIN
MADE FALSE RETURNS.

MADE FALSE RETURNS.
An explanation OF Gov. Tilden's income
tax is published In the New York papers of
yesterday. 1t Is the form Of q statement by
Judge James P. Sinpott, of the marine court,
the entire period Of the alleged delinquencies,
and was the governors confidential law
clerk. Mr.. Hewitt, as chairman OF the ma
tional committee, applied to Judge sinnott
public In card In which he says: 81 ad-
dressed q note to Judge James p. Sinnott,
who was the confidential law clerk OF Gov,
law imposing an income tax was in force,
asking him to examine the pretended ac-
count OF Gov. Tilden's income during the
year 1862. and furnish me with such expla-
nations in regard thereto as his necessary
familiarity with the details would enable
him to supply. His answer, herewith sub
mitted to the public, sho VS. that out Of thir-
teen pretended items OF income amounting
TO SlOs COO elevse items amounting to ss4 900
are wholly fictitious, while OF the other two,
only one OF 81 900 is entirely true. and the
second, OF S25 900, is only partially true.
There is therefore no ground for the asser-
ton that the sworn return was not q lust
and accurate statement OF the net income
of Gov. Tnden, amer making such deduc-
lions for losses, interest paid and other
charges as the law authorized him to make
II exceptions be taken to Judge Sinnott's
letter on the ground that IL does not con tain
detailed statement Of the several items
upon which the return of 1862 was made,
IL is proper to state that the resula-
tions OF the department did not require
such detailed statements, and very few
professional men made such statements. or
could now recalls the items. or have kept
the memoranda upon which their returns
were made. II Gov. Tilden were not in
nomination for the presidency, I do not
know of any man in this community whose
mere statement OF . fact would have been
more generally accepted as the truth, and I
fail TO see why the eminent posit' on Ia which
be has been placed BY large body OF his
from the sanctfty OF his OATH"
Over one half OF Judge Sinnotts statement
IL occupied with detailed refutation of the
charge brought by the New York Times that
In the year 1862 Gov. II lden had received
thirteen severally enumerated items OF In
come mainly frees from railroad, amounting
In all TO $1oS. 900. These items Judge Stnnott
examines in detail, pronounces some of
them utterly and wholly fictitious, no such
service having been rendered, and Gov. TIL
den not even having been In the employ of
Tie railroads at any time, the service In
others having been rendered years before
the income tax was levied, and In still other
cases having been rendered without fees,
