Is the first two years of the income tax
MrlTilden cunningly returned his income lar
below the real amount, and having mIsieu
the assessors by false statements, he made
no return for the eight subsequent years, but
left the assessors to assess him at their dis
cretiop with the first false return as their
Guide. In the defence which he has put
forth through his law clerk, Mr.. Tilden says
on this point
In respect to the allegation that after two
years of the income tax Mr.. Tilden made no
return, but left that portion Of his tax which
was in excess Of the payments Tor his &C
counts made By the corporations, whose
bonds and stocks he held, to be assessed
under the law BY the estimate OF the public
officers. the answer l. simple. The statute
care The Taxpayer the option 10 tate mat
course. and good and honorable reasons
existed why scrupulous man should accept
that option.
1t is not the case that the law gave any
such option. 1t required every citizen with
an income to make return each year under
oath ,ofhijtaxable receipts for that year. And
it imposed a penalty or fine Of fifty per cent
additional tax upon every man who failed to
obey the requirement. Mr. Tilden violated
the law for eight years and suffered the
penalty. and he did it because even then he
got of much more cheap!y than by making
an honest return.
If there were any doubt on this point, a
decision rendered the other Jay in the United
States Circuit Court, at Providence, R. l.,
settles it. This decision was given in case
exactly like that OF Nj Tilden, and Is con-
elusive. An action was brought in the name
of the United States against Rowland Z.
Hazard to recover the sum OF 81, 45l for
tax on the defendant income for ls6o. The
answer Of the defendant was precisely like
that of Mr.. Tiden-Jhat, though he had not
made return, he had paid what he was "a
sessed by the United States oticer, with the
added penalty of fifty per cent and that this
was a compliance with the law and bar to
the recovery Of any further sum. The court
oyerruled the plea and sustlins the action to
recover. In other words, it decides that the
defendant Is still liable for all the tax he
ought to have paid and did not pay.
This decision fits the case of Mr.. Tillen.
1t disposes of his answer that the statute
gave the taxpayer his option and settles
the question that be violated the law and
is liable for it The decision was rem

But while General Babcock leaves the
dock exonerated, while he passes from this
fearful ordeal his honor redeemed, there
are some aspects of the case not judicial
that remain to be considered We ques-
ton il he should return to the White
House. He has shown. even by his own
admissions, that he was in relation with
the worst of men. He admits that he was
in correspondence of the most Familiar
nature with convicted feions ike Joyce
and Mcdonald He has been SO careless
in his relations with these people that his
name was used as an incentive to crime.
By his dealings with men that he must
have known we're not in allrespects worthy
be gave the appearance of evil He allow
ed his predictions to interfere with the
ADMINISTRATION of the laws. For party
purposes he did not disdain to interrupt
the revenue service. A jury decides that
in doing so he was not conspirator-
not a revenue thief. But, while coincid-
ing with this verdict, the country will say
chat the man who is piiable enough to al.
low thieves and conspirators to draw him
into this most unfortunate position is not
the man to enjoy the confidence of the
president. Granted that he is not thief
that he would have spurned the very idea
Of joining in this conspiracy, that he would
have been the first to have exposed it
and still the criticism remains that in hi:
party zeal Gen .ral Babcock has fallen into
position that ends his usefulness as /:
confidential adviser of the president.

Though District Attorney Dyer has
failed of securing the verdict for which he
labored so earnestly. We cannot but express
again our first opinion-that if Babcock
has obtained legal acquittal it is only at
the cost of moral conviction In the
homeiy phrase of Mr.. Dyer. he is like the
turkey to whom the hunter remarked after
shooting off his leg-he has got away, but
he will roost lower hereafter.
