Mr.. Tilden's Income Tax.

The more reckless of the Republican
papers, those that have no regard for any
body's reputation, not even their own,
continue to repeat the stale and exploded
libel that Mr.. Tilden was guilty of fraud
in his income returns some twelve or fl
teen years ago The Portland Advertiser
a Republican paper that is conducted with
an uncommon degree of fairness, has an
article that undoubtedly states the case
Justly 1t says-'The talk about Mr.. Til
den's income tax began months ago. AS
published in the New York Times where
it originated, the accusation charged Mr.
Tilden with making q fraudulent return
for the year 1868, and none whatever
thereafter. Mr.. Tilden has answered.
with regard to the return for 1868, SHOW
ing and declaring that the items are COR
rect and his statement has not been i'm
peached. Concerning the subsequent years
he did what a great many honorable men
did and do; he lett the assessors to fix the
amount of his tax according to their own
judgment, and paid it. nder a recent
and somewhat questionable judgment, it
is held that the payment OF tax thus as
sessed by and paid to the authorized agents
of the government, is not conclusive, but
that the question may be re-opened at any
time, for the collection of arrears" upon
a new valuation. Mr. Bliss, United States
attorney for the district of New York, has
been investigating Mr.. Tilden's income for
the year 1869, and finds, as he says in an
official letter to the commissioner OF Inter
nal Revenue, ''abuudant grounds for the
immediate commencement Of an action, i"
but will not begin it until after the election
on the 9TH of November. The report wears
too much the aspect of a campaign docu-
ment but admitting all its allegations it
simply shows that the assessors who fixed
Mr.. Tilden's tax that year, and to whose
arbitrary judgment hc left the whole mat
ter, rated his income below the actual
figure"

Total Depravity.

New YORK, Oct. 20.
Frank McCanachi, previously arrested
on suspicion. was again arrested last Sat
urday night on Long Island, charged with
the murder of the child Maggie Bauer
This is the crime of which Mrs. Kate Holf-
man was almost convicted, on circumstan-
tlal evidence SO strong that many persons
were dissatisfied when she was released
from custody
When taken to the spot where the body
was found, McConachi trembled violently
and completely broke down. lie made a
1ull confession. not only of the crime. but
OF the manner in which he committed it.
HIS horrible story is as follows:
On the afternoon OF August 14th, he was
in corntield, when Maggie went to show
Kate Holman the way through the woods
to the Valley Stream depot. He saw them
both 60 past the cornfeld. watched Mag
gles return, and as she got opposite to
HIM, he sprang out and grappIed her by
the throat to prevent her from making a
noise.
AT this,point in his confession, the moth
er of Maggie. who was present, sprane
upon the prisoner with the ferocity of
tIgress, and grasped him by the throat
The officers removed her, and McConachi
continued
After choking Maggie. he kept his grasp
on her throat and carried her through the
cornfield to the woods, where he attempt
ed violence, and crammed leaves and the
corner of her bonnet into her mouth, tyino
the strings together about her neck. He
also took her waist ribbon and tied it tight
ly around her neck, which completed the
work of murder. He afterward broke down
some cedar limbs SO he could find the BODY
alter dark for the purpose of hiding it
more effectually, but when darkness came
on. he was afraid to go near the place.
McConachi was taken by the officers to
the Valley stream depot to take the train
back to Jamaica Here, the confession be-
ing noised about, crowd gathered, with
rope, and the prisoner was saved with
great difficulty from immediate death by
lynching.
McConachi is q years old He was born
IN this country. His family are highly re-
spected residents of Brooklyn, and have
for some time refused to have anything to
do with him.

BELGRADE, Oct. 80. A battle was fought

Servians from Djunis after a crushing de-
feat. Tchernayetfs army is cut in two

GERMANY's POSITION.
Berlin, Oct. 80. The German Reich
stag Imperial Parliament of the whole
Empire) opened to day. The Emperor in
his speech says Germany's foreign rela-
tons, Notwithstanding the difficulties of
the present political situation, are fully ac-
cordant with the Emperor's pacific policy.
His constant endeavor is to preserve friend
ly relations with all the Powers, especial
ly those connected with Germany by ties
of neighborhood and history and, so far as
peace may be endangered among such, to
preserve it by friendly mediation. What
ever the future may have in store, Ger
many may rest assured that the blood Of
her sons will be sacrificed or risked only
for the protection of her own honor and
interests
THE CONSTANTINOPLE CONFERENCE.
CONsTANTINoPLE, Oct. 30. Gen Inga-
tletf, the Russian Ambassador, had an in
terview with the Sultan Saturday and the
Grand ViZier, yesterday. Subsequently
the ambassadors of the six powers had Il
conference. To-day the Turkish ministers
held a council The prevalent impression
regarding the situation is pacific.
THE RECENT DEFEAT CRUSHING.
The Times correspondent at Belgrade
telegraphs there is no longer any delu-
sion; Servia is now at the feet of Russia
or the mercy of Turkey Intelligence has
been received from Russian officers that
the Turks have received reinforcements to
the amount of 10000 and some batteries
of artillery. The Circassan cavalry are
burning villages near Paratchin and Cupu-
jia.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times
says the announcement that an armistice
has been settled is premature. The Porte
was only expected to give definite reply
Monday.
There is, or was on Sunday, every
ground to believe the reply will be fully
satisfactory; that is. that the Porte will
accept the Russian proposition.
WARLlKE AGAIN.
New YORK, Oct 81. A London special
has the following: An official dispatch
from st. Petersburg announcing that the
Russian ultimatum has been presented to
Turkey has created great excitem ent in fl
