POLITICAL NOTES.

Hampton and Tilden is the way the South
Carolina Democratic papers are already put
ing it.
George Washington could not tell lie.
Samuel j. Tilden does not resemble him IN
any important particular.
A sculptor who went to Albany to make
bust of Gov. Tilden found that the IN
come tax business had i" busted " him sew
eral days before.
Tilden was a member of the famous lived
die Hall Copperhead Convention in Albany,
in 1861. During the session of the Con
yention he made a speech in which he SAID :
" WILL RESIST, UNDER ANY AND ALL CIR
cUhsTANCEs, THE USE OF FORCE TO coERcE

Suppose Gov Seymour had accepted, what

THr N.Hnne printed the letter Of j. W.
Hiekok, ESQ. in reference TO Mr.. Tilien'-
railroad record without credit to any other
paper. It, reply now, to our remark that
the letter had been CARRIED, Is that i; copied
1t without alteration from the Boston Post.
We do not see that that alters the case, as to
the letter, though it relieves the SnuaI
from the suspicion of having itself sup
pressed material portions of the letter We
have only to repeat that we have the best
authority for the statement that important
portions Of the original letter have been
omitted IN It's publication and that its
author. who is strongly for Hayes and
Wheeler, Ike the honest Liberals generally,
would not have permitted its publication, IN
it, altered form.
