duct, which would Kill Republican can.

influential consideration with them is
whether success and the spoils of Office
are obtainable. Scarcely an attempt has
been made to free Mr.. Tilden from tho
imputations of dishonest connection with
various railroad schemcs, unpatriotic con-
duct during the war, md insincerity in
his professions of desire for reform. But
he is now likely to be brought before q
bar whero an answer will be necessary
He is to be brought before the courts to
answer to charge of swindliug the gov.
erpment. 1t has been made to appear
by proofs which are conclusive unless
met by clear proofs Of error, that for the
ten years from 1862 to 1872, the aver
age income oil Mr.. Tidon was certainly
not less than $4,000 tina: during the
same period he paid tax on an average
annual income of only Sl5 600, and that,
therefore, making liberal deduction for
expenses, he must be indebted to the gov.
eminent for the unpaid tax on at least
O quarter oil a million of dollars. For
this amount due, a sut is to be brought
to recover. TO the general charge of
swindling, the New York 7'psS brings q
specific charge Of perjury and sustains it
by comparison Of two affidavts duly
sworn to by Mr.. Tiden, the first made on
Dec 90, 1868 that his net income, from
all sources. for the year $50, amounted
to Ills. The second was made few
weeks ago, when Mr.. Tilden swore to the
receipt in the same ycar--lS62 of

no shock at these charges Of perjury and
swindling,but it is to be hoped that there
are those who will perceive necessity
for explanation.

Beatrice de Cenci.
A TRAGIC STORY.

The story of Beatrice is deeply affect
ing. Her sufferings from the wicked
conduct of her father cannot be told
The hideousuess of his character and hel
purity and beauty stand out prominently
in tho history Of the age in which they
lived. The most eloquent pens have
failed 10 the attcmpt adequately to depict
them.
We give an outline of the heart.rend.
ing story Of her life:
Beatrice de Cenci was the daughter oil
Count Nicolo Cenci She was born 10
the latter part Of the sixteenth century, in
the city OF Rome. Her father was O
VIGOROUSLY wicked man, the slave of the
worst passions 10 human nature. Justice
was powerless, however. to check his vii.
lainy, because of his influence as a noble.
man. Repeated attempts to legally take
his guilty life were frustrated.
In the latter part Of his guilty life. the
hoary headed sinner retired with his sec.
ond wife, Lucrezia, with Beatrice and
her youngest brother, Bernardo, to the
castle of Petrela, situated in a desoatc
spot on the Sabine Hills. italy. Here
secure from the observation OF neighbors,
this monster of the human race caused
the death of his two eldest sons, and
contaminated his unmatched wickedness
in treating his daughter with cruelty
worse than death.
The innocent victim OF this nameless
wrong appealed to the authorities for JUS
tice. 1t was not given her. Shortly
afterwards her father was found muir.
dered.
Two theories are recorded as to the
persons guilty of his taking off tho one
says her step mother, her brother and her
lover; the other. which is more generally
accepted, unknown enemies Of the old
man, who was hated throughout the
country.
BE this as it may, the lovely Beatrice
was accused ofparrlcide. She was cruel.
ly tortured. and executed 10 the year
1899, Her step mother, Lucrezis, and
her elder brother, Giacomo, were also
sentenced to death. Bernardo was
spared on account of his extreme youth.
Beatrice's department Immediately be-
fore her execution was consistent with the
theory Of her innocence. When the
'oxecutioner bound her hands she said
"you bind my body for destruction. but
my soul for Immortality" Under cruel
torture, the only expressions escaping her
lips which could be construed by her
worst enemies into admissions Of guilt,
we're, ut is true" 30, God thou know
est if this be true % No evidence beyond
these two sentences was produced against
her.
In justice, it must be added many in.
ausntial persons interested themselves to
save her life by appeals to the Pope.
Gallant young gentlemen attempted her
rescue, and more than one life was lost
In these desperate efforts. How tragic.
ally interesting Is the recital Of the lead.

be again presented for the consideration

hopes are entertained that the measure
may nov meet with the favor it merits.
