TIE INCOME BUSINESS IN ITS LATEST
PHASE.

The income charge, as we have repeatedly
said, is the only one brought against Mr.. Ill
den which has seemed to us at all damaging.
From the day that charge was first made pub
lie it has grown steadily worse and worse,
until it eliminates to-day in remarkable
letter from the United States District-Attor-
ney to the Commissioner " Internal
Revenue. Mr.. Tilden's method of meeting
the charge was to the last degree dis
ingenious and evasve. He waited until
his reckless accusers had committed themselves
to large number of items in his alleged In
come, concerning which they could not pos
sibly have had accurate information, and about
the details of which it would be easy for him
to trip them up. This he proceeded to do,
and thereupon claimed that he had disposed
OF the charge.
But he had not even touched it. The great
fact remains utterly unexplained, and on any
honest hypothesis inexplcable, O that Mr..
Tilden in 1862 was poor man; (2) that IN
1872 he was worth three millions; and (3)
that in the mean time he had not paid taxes
on an average annual income of $4,000.
Now the United States District Attorney
comes forward with circumstance as damag-
ing as anything heretofore revealed. Having
pretty positive proof that in 1869 Mr.. Tilden
received $4,000 from the Pittsburgh Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company, and
that the entry of that payment appears on Its
books, the District Attorney applied for per-
mission to get this evidence from the books.
A meeting of the directors was called,
and formal refusal was returned on the
pround that the District-AttOrney had no
legal right to enforce his request
Does anybody suppose that the Board of Di-
rcctors, of which Mr. Tiden himself is a mem
bcr would have taken this course, If the
books would have disproved the damning
charge against himl Under all the circum-
stances is there any probable motive for this
refusal, but q desire to shield Mr. Tildenf
What is it but plea like that of witness
who refuses to answer vital question because
it would criminate himselfY

We hate to be cruel to Mr.. Belmont, but he
has uttered such absurd nonsense that it Is
impossible to mention facts without exposing
him. He asserts that change of political con-
troll would not affect the public credit. YET he
well knows that when the last Democratic
Administration was in power this country was
compelled TO borrow money ut twelve per cent
Indeed we have heard that he then advised for
cign bankers not to loan even mt that rate
But now the same Mr.. Belmont advises them
to buy 4ia per cent bonds at price above
mar in gold Then the United States had no
debt OF consequence, and taxes were hight
Novy il has an enormous debt, and taxes are
heavy. But its credit is better, with heavy
debt and a Republican Administration, than it
WAS with no debt and Democratic Admins
trotion, III the ratio of - to 4l2. In otner
words. II per cent interest being required, 4
A., ner cent bond would have been worth
unler the last Democratic Administration just
37l, cents on the dollar. But such bond
now sells for more than 100 cents on the
dollar. Truthful Mr.. Belmont!
What reason is there for supposing that the
public credit would not sink as low, with u
Democratic Administration and heavy debt,
rs it sank III lSG0-1 with Democratic
Administration and no debt Then men were
loath to believe that the South was disloyal;
now we have seen the proof Then men
threatened secession now they threaten repu-
dlation aud the bankruptcy of the Union by
Southern claims. Then the Democratic party
sympathized, though afraid TO show how fully,
and now it has precisely the same leaning
toward Southern demands. Can any man give
q reason for the hope that Democracy with a
great debt would not send the public credit as

who wish to print ballots at their own ex-
pense, as some have already informed us they
intend doing. Applications should in all cases
be made to the committees for ballots, so as,
if possible, to compel their distribution. We
hope every case where voters are unable to
obtain ballots from county committees will be
made known to us.
Voters should remember that these amend
ments are not mere abstract propositions they
will work immediate reforms. The canals
seem, to be sure, to be well managed-some-
thing for which tho State of New-York should
always be ready to give Gov. Tilden hearty
and generous thanks-but at the best it is q bad
system honestly administered. In the State
Prisons there is corruption as well as waste,
which the investigation now in progress is
disclosing and, by natural consequence, it is
the State Prison amendment against which, it
is said, a conspiracy of men of both parties
has been formed. 1t is one, therefore, for
which every good citizen should take care to
vote. The other, however, is equally dcsery-
ing. No taxpayer, no business man, no prop
erty owner, who must pay his share of the
half million annual deficit in the prisons; no
man who believes in genuine administrative
reform should fail to cast his vote for these
needed amendments to our fundamental law.

French ignorance of everybody and everything

ians one of the best tif not the best biographical

Horace Greeley is dismissed in dozen lines, two Oh

native poets of far less genius and reputation are re-
ferrcd to- Henry Ward Beecher, the most noted per-
haps of living preachers is not permitted TO exist IN
the pages of the Geographic, is George Bancroft
who enjoys high European fame rs a historian. But
the most singular emission of all is that of Ralph
Waldo Emerson, whose works have been translated
into half dozen modern languages, French among
them and who is generally conceded TO be one Oh
the most original and profound thinkers OF the day.
This Is a good deal like leaving out Cornelie and

To-day is the last of registration. No citi-
zen. not registered on any of the former days,
who fails to put his name on the lists to-day
can vote at the coming election. Remember
that registration in former years does not
count in this, and Icmembeg, too, that with
the advertisement, printed elsewhere. as a
guide, this important duty can be discharged
in very few moments. The prospect OF at
tempted frauds on the franchise which it Is
now said will probably increase the tota! reg
istration to 100000 names, makes it vitally
necessary that every honest vote should be
cast. See that yours is assured by an early
registration to-day. The dishonest votes can
be looked after later.

Europe still remains in suspense, hoping
that the Porte will accord the armistice de-
manded by Russia, and thus afford diplomacy
another chance to avert a general war. 1t Will
be hard for the Turks to forego the ad-
vantages they claim to have recently gained
in Servia but unless they are able to measure
swords with Russia submission is their best
policy. Their inability to subdue the rebellion
ought to convince them of their helplessness.

The wave of conservatism which has swept

Since the Continental Life Insurance Com
pany of this city passed into the hands of
receiver, many holders of policies in other
companies have become unduly alarmed. The
letter concerning another and larger insurance
company, which we print elsewhere, was writ
ten before the Continental came to grief, and
thus exhibits an earlier stage In pOlicy-hold-
ers' anxiety. Perhaps the questions contained
in this letter can be easily answered, and the
answers may in that case rebound to the com
pany's credit At all events the leading ques-
ton of the letter is pertinent and explicit.
Our local columns also give an account OF
suit against the United States Life Insurance
Company, asking for an injunction: the suit
is said to have arisen out of struggle for
control.

jefferson County has deserved well of the
State. A Republican county committee that
organizes what promises to be handsome
victory without assistance from the State Com
nittee, and prints hundred thousand cam
paign documents for use on Democratic voters,
is a committee to be initiated. This has been
done in jefferson County, and the result Is
likely to provo the thoroughness of the work.
1t is a little discouraging to encounter hero
in the heart of an earnest canvass the same
complaints of inactivity and Indifference on
the part of the State Committee that have
already been preferred from other sections OF
the State. Such general dissatisfaction could
not exist unless there was some good ground
for 1t. 1t is to be hoped there will be less
Of If. even in the short interval that remains.

Although Slade has been acquitted on the
