Much the Better OF the
Two

IL am opposed to Mr.. TILDEN,"
said BLAINE at Boston, !" because
at a great crisis in his country's
fato he proved unfaithful, and when
it lay bleeding at every pore
from wounds by rebel hordes he
passed by on the other side.' Yet
SAM TILDEN was better Union
man than Jim Blaine. 1t is only
since the fighting stopped that the
latter has been greatly exercised
about his bleeding country.
When that country clay bleed
ing at every pore from wounds by
rebel hordes," Blaine happened
to be drafted. Or course he rushed
at once to hurl back the rebel
horde and stanch every pore of
his bleeding country? Oh, no; he
hired an able-bodied substitute, and
provided him with a soft-cushioned
chair in the Provost Marshal's
Office at Augusta. The able-bodied
substitute was shortly removed to
the county Jail for stealing; but
Blaine was too busy making for
tune out of Spencer rifle contracts
to hunt up another.
This is the extent of Blaine IS
war record, and, as we have said,
Sam Tilden's is vastly honester,
more patriotic, and more credit
able. The true reason why Blaine
opposes Tilden was not mentioned
at Boston. 1t is the same reason
which every rogne has for fearing
and hating the uncompromising
enemy of rascality and rascals.

ton.

At last, and none too soon, we
have the answer of Governor Til
dento the grave accusations made
against the integrity of his income
return for 1862; and the dispassion-
ate reader will be amazed, after
perusing it, at the mendacity that
has characterized his accusers.
Coming from journal of assumed
and hitherto acknowledged re-
spectability, the country paused to
consider the charge, and had it
not been conclusively answered it
must have cost Mr.. Tilden tens of
thousands of votes; but wo now
have the answer,item by item, with
q minuteness of detail that forbids
the possibility of evasion or conceal
ment, and no unbiased mind will
fail to regard the Democratic can
.didate for President as fully vindi-
Gated. Not only does the letter
of Judge Sinnott clear the skirts
of Governor Tilden of all reason
able suspicion of falsifying his in
come returns, but, in connection
with the predatory letter of Mr..
Hewitt, it places the national au.
thori,ies as well as the New York
Times in most pitiable position
before the country. While Mr..
Hewitt's formal applications to the
Treasury Department were not
only unanswered, but unnoticed
in any way, and all access to the
records practically denied him,
those who were fabricating
the falsehoods were permitted to
garble the official accounts and
photograph such as served their
studied efforts to defame an hon.
est citizen. Taken all in all, the
assault upon Governor Tilden has
been tho most systematic. mali
cious and atrocious ever invented
in the desperation of a political
campaign, and it will cost a Jour-
nal like the New York Times
many years to recover the char
acter for candor and manliness it
has lost by its mad partisan defama-
tion.

The virtuous carpet-baggers Of the
South at first used the argument to secure
the negro vote, that if the Democrats got
into power they would reduce the colored
man to slavery again, and since the negro
has become sufficiently advanced in politi-
cal knowledge to know it was q lie, the
pious carpet.bagger now tells them that if
the Democrats get into power they will
pass law regulating the price to be paid
the colored man for his labor. The price to
be paid to the colored man is 81 per month,
and 50 per month for colored women. It
is thought by such devices the Republi-
can managers maintain their influence over
the unsophisticated colored man.

ABDUL. HAMID IL,

Hamid the Second has ascended the
Turkish throne, in consequence Of the i'll
ness Of the Sultan Murad Kahn, whose
increasing illness and suffering render it
manifestly impossible for him to maintain
longer the reins of the Empire, and Sultan
Hamid, presumptive heir to the Impe-
rial throne, has been declared Sultan Of
Turkey. The new Sultan, the thirty-fourth
Of the royal line Of Osman, has taken the
official title Of Abdul Hamid the II. He
is the second son Of Abdul Medjid, and
was born in 1S42. The present Sultan
lives with his wife and children in the
European, and not in the Turkish man.
ner. He learned the habit during a Eu-
ropean tour and visit to the Paris Expo
sition in 1867. Upon his return to Con-
stantinople, he adopted some of the GUS
toms and manners of the people with whom
he had been living while abroad. 1t is
said he took an earnest interest in the well
fare of his people and suggested several
measures for their relief but they were
never adopted. Now he may exercise his
sovereign power and bring his suggested
measures into practical operation.

IT now seems there are great doubts about
Mr.. Seymour's acceptance. It was well
known that he declined to be candidate
for nomination in the most positive terms,
and his desire to be left out of the list of
candidates was sincere. His refusal to
accept the nomination will bring about thu
most complicated state of affairs that ever
occurred in American politics. His nomi-
nation was regarded as being fortunate for
theDemocracy ,and was hailed with delight.
1t was nomination which gave universal
satisfaction to the Democratic party. It
was Roland for the Oliver of the Repub-
lican strategy Of the State. Ifit is true,
that the labors Of the campaign and the
excitement Of the canvass would be pre-
judicial to his health, if not absolutely
fatal, Mr.. Seymours refusal of acceptance
will be justifable, but if such is not the
case, it would be criminal in Mr.. Seymour
to decline. We see that some Of the leaders
of the party still hope for his acceptance Of
the nomination even under the adverse
circumstances. At this time when the
result Of the Presidential election may
depend on. the choice Of a Gubernatoria,
candidate in New York, Mr.. Seymour 8

municipal government. Mayor 6tokeiey
and his police force are responsible for the
city's disgrace. and shepld be held ac-
countable for their disregard Of the city's
fair fame and for their wanton neglect Of
official duty. The death Of the bruiser
Walker was morally : murder, committed
with the full knowledge Of the Mayor and
his police, and the sooner there Is change
ia its city officers the better will it be for
the credit Of Philadelphia, and the honor
and peace of its citizens. For weeks before
the fight the city papers informed the
public that the bruises Walker and
Weeden were to meet and test which was
the greatest brute and bruiser. 1t was
publicly announced, and the Mayor and
his police were aware Of the fact, that
these bruiser law breakers had openly
declared their purpose to trample on the
law and commit brutal crime, but no
attempt on the part of the Mayor and his
city guardians (?) was made to prevent the
brutal occurrence, but virtually by their
negligence to prevent the beastly encoun-
ter, gave it their approval. Mayor
stokeley and his police are for this brutal
homicide responsible and should be held
70 strict responsibility. l.
The anticipation of the fight had been
1ppermost in sporting circles for two
months, and the Mayor could have pre-
rented the fight, but instead of doing so,
lis police suffered the brutes who were
'peculating in this murder of the prize
ing to pass to their field of blood without
to prevent them. Walkerwho
vas murdered, was only nineteen years Of
Ige, and he and his murderer were warm
,ersonal friends, and had they not been
,oaded on by party Of roughs, who saw +
n them fitting tools for sport and money
making, would be living warm friends

disavow Secretary cameron's revolution
ary order, which was done VIGOROUSLY to
coerce certain States to cast their electoral
votes for him (Hayes) against the sober
judgment Of the people Of mingled races.
When order and safety prevailed in every
part of the South, when two Southern
States at confessedly peaceable and lawful
elections had declared against Hayes
Presidential pretentions, did Secretary
Cameron issue his bayonet election order,
and by that order remanded the whole
reconstructed States to the arbitrary law
Of the sword. As the "limes" truly says,
"either Governor Hayes letter Of accept
