this statement, will you kindly allow me To say
that numerous scientific men are testing his

President Of the Psychological Society OF Great
Britain, has nlled two newspaper columns with
the wonders which he saw under test conditions.

will save him also. The trial is TO be q
farce ut best, because he holds too many
secrets of the White House and Of the Re-
publican leaders to be in tho least danger
of conviction.
Hence he has been allowed to disgrace
the uniform OF the army, after being twice
indicted for grave crimes. and proved to
be UNANIMOUSLY corrupt. Neither the Presi.
dent nor the Secretary of War has dared
TO order court martial. and the imme-
date superiors Of this notorious criminal
have been forced not only to tolerate his
presence, but to bear witness for him when
nrraigncd in the criminal dock.
He now holds four important ard distinct
places, two of which are OF great trust ana
involve the handling of large sums Of
money. He is Colonel of Engineers; SUI
perintcndent, by BELKNAP's unrevoked
appointment, of the building for the state,
Navy and War Departments, whereby he
oversees the cxccution of all the great con-
trNcis; engineer in charge OF the public
buildings ana grounds, with half a million
of annual expenditure under his control,
and engineer in charge Of the Washington
Aqucduct.
GRANT has not disturbed him in any Of
these employments, and when he stands
aluof IL means that no one else is to inter-
ierc. The of1iceholders pay him court as
they have always done, and since Mr.. BRIs-
rows departure from the Cabinet he is as
strong in the departments rs he ever was.
He is also one Of CHANDLER's efficient stat
in carrying on the HAYES campaign.

For Mayor of New York.

We nominate Mr.. MASroN MARBLE, late
ly editor Of the Word, for Mayor OF this
city. He has every quality requisite in the
occupant Of this important Office. Bril-
liant talents, spotless integrity, varied
knowledge, familiarity with public affairs,
dignity and geniality OF character. fidelity
to democratic ideas-all these are his.
We do not think the opponents Of Grant
ism can find any other man so well fitted
ms Mr. MARBLE To be put at the head OF our
municipal government. Let all divisions
OF the Democratic party and all organila-
tions Of the independent Opposition nomi-
nate him; and we will elect him by fifty
thousand majority.

Mr.. Tilden's Income Tax.

OF course Gov. TILDEN, IL he made a
return of his income, should have made n
correct return. OF course If he swore to
II return, it should have been only the truth
that he sworc TO.
or course when Gov. TILDEN made re-
turn OF his income he did make correct
return. or course when he swore to IL he
swore TO the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth. Does any one sup
pose that lawyer, IA scholar, gentleman
so punctilious In all his dealings, delibe-
rately swore to an untruthy The charge
is simply preposterous.
8 At the same time, we must say that 1t
would have been much more crediable to
Mr.. TILDEN rs n lawyer and statesman
TO have declined to pay any income tax at
all. An income tax, lev ed rs ours was Is
clear infrnctiou OF the Constitution of
the United States. II Is rs unconstitu-
tonal as secession. Such is the opinion Of
all good lawyers so far as we know, who
have examined the question. Such is the
opinion OF WILLIAM NJ. EvARrs the brains
iii connection with the editor OF the
Timts-of the Republican party. Even
NOAH DAVIS had sense enough to get hold
OF this doctrine, and 10 advocate 1t when
he was in Congress-wh where, II is to be re-
GREETED, he had not remained to this day,
and kept of the bench for which he is 30
utterly unfit.
We should have felt an additional salts
faction in supporting Mr.. TILDEN had he
uniformly and steadfastly refused TO sane
tion violation Of the Constitution by vol
unfairly paying any income tax at all.

The manner In which the Republican
managers are conducting the pending canvass
shows that they must have formed a very poor
estimate OF the intelligence OF the Americ n
people. One OF the most absurd Of the argu-
ments which are urged in behalf Of the election
OF HAYES by Republican organs and speakers. Is
the assertion that II TILpEN should be elected
there would be danger that the Democrats
would tax the people to pay the former slave
holders the value OF their emancipated slaves,
and to pension OF Confederate soldiers Presl-
dent GRANT. in an interview with a Herald re-
porter a few days ago, said there was danger
that the Democrats, II they should come into
power. would bankrupt tho country by tho
payment Of such claims. Now, the fs>, IA
that 1t would he impossible for ITEM to do
ANYTHING Of the kind, even II they were SO dis
posed for the fourth section of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution expressly slip
ulates that neither the United States nor any
state shall assume or pay any rebt or obligation
Incurred in aid OF Instruction or rebellion
against the United States, or any claim for tho
loss or emancipation OF any slave" and any
legislation IN violation Of this provision would
be null and void. But even II there was no con-
si,utional restriction against paying the value
Of the emancipated slaves, the white voters in
the South, to say nothing of the freedmen,
would never consent TO any such proposition.
for at least three-fourths Of them before tho
war were nou-slaveholders and II Is the eight
Of folly TO suppose that such a majority would
submit TO be so taxed for the benent Of their
weather neiehbors. That question, however,
was settled for all time In 1858 by the adoption
OF the Fourteenth Amendment.
