THE RUssELLvILLE DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, 1876

work out no practical or salutary reform. Reform is necessary even in the higher grades of nub- lie service. President, Vice Pres ident, Judges, Senators, Repre- sentatives, Cabinet officers these and all others in authority are the peoples servants. Their offices are not private perquisite they are a public trust. When. the annals of this Republic show disgrace and ccnsure of Vice President; q late Speaker of the House of Representatives mar keting his rulings as q presiding officer; three Senators profiting by their votes as law makers; five Chairmen of the leading Commit tees of the late House of Repre- sentatives exposed in jobbery; q late Secretary of the Treasury forcing balances in the pnblic accounts, late Attorney General misappropriating public funds; q Secretary of the Navy enriched and enriching his friends by . percentage levied off the profits of contractors with his depart ment; an ambassador to England censured in a dishonorable spec
 ulation; the Presidents private secretary barely escaping conyic- tion upon trial for guilty compile ity in frauds upon the revenue; q Secretary of War impeached for high crimes and mlsdemeanors-- the demonstration is complete that the first step in reform must be the peoples choice of honest men from another party, lest the dis ease of one political organization infect the body polite, and lest, by making no change of men or parties, We get no change of measures and no real reform.

Another of TiIdeR's Law Suits.

In the suit of II. II. Body against Samuel
j. Tilden and others, brought 70 recover
from Mr.. Tilden an alleged deficiency IN
his share in q pool in March, 1854, in the
Chicago and Galena Union Railrosd Com
pany stock just before its consolidation with
the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
Company, Mr.. Tilden has served his an
swer. The complaint alleges that on selling
the pool, by some error of the book. keeper,
Mr.. Tilden was allowed to draw stock to
the extent of e45, 900, paying only $l9, 900,
being an excess of about &c, 900 over Whist
he was eniitled to, and that owing to .
change in book. keepers this error was not
discovered until last year, whom an occasion
for balancing the accounts of tho pool re-
May 6, 1876. Tho answer Of Mr.. Tilden was
deferred en- various grounds till yesterday.
It is said to be In substance denial Of any
liability to Mr.. Body and . setting up Of
the statute of Limitations, and contains
among other things the following:
"Aad further answering the said COM
plant, this defendant alleges, ~ his separ-
ate and distinct defense, that the supposed
transaetions In the complaint alleged a.
having taken place in the year 1864 did not
nor did any of such transactions OCCUR or
take place within six years nor within ten
years next preceding the time of the com.
mencement of this actioD; and the said de.
fendant alleges that the supposed cause Of
action in the complaint set forth did not
arise within six years and did not arise
even within ten years next preceding the
time of commencement of this action, and
the defendant 81 sims and insists that such
supposed cause of action and all supposed
claims against this defendant set up in the
complaint are barred by the statute of linn
itations, etc." !"
Inquiry was made of one of Mr.. Tildep's.
counsel last mint in regard to the exact
points of the answer. He stated that the
answer, as drawn by Mr.. TiIden's lawyere,
set up with other defenses the statute Of
limitations, and presented other defenses,
but the defense did not, so far as he knew,
state that MI. Tilden's connection with the
pool was through William B. Ogden, as re-
ported. Farther than that he would cay
nothing. Mr.. Tilden had himself revised
his answer, and 1t must be found in the
court records.-Nesc York Tribune.

Grapaic, December Is. saye: ..>
Republicans hero laugh at the notion
that there will be any difficulty with the
city of New York in the event of the
election of Mr.. Hayes. They say that the
leaders of the Tammany Democracy arc
very we'll satisfied with matters % they
are ct present. Neither John Kelly nor
Augustus Belmont ie friendly to Mr.. 1ilden.
They opposed his nomination, and will mot
mourn II he 10 defeated. Kelly and the
Tsumauy leaders know that in the event
Of MI. Tlden's election the Federal Demo
cratic ofiiceholders would naturally inter-
fere with the Democratic machine and put
Mr.. Kelly out ~ leader. Iodeed, the f2t.
ter's desire to become CONTROLLER was
prompted BY the wish to get control of the
city treasury 90 - to be prepared, f6f any
such contingency ~ disposition Of Fed
eral Democratic ofiiceholders to interfere
with the working of the Tammany organi-
cation. TammaDy cares nothing Whatever
for Tilden. The local epoils are sufficient for
the greed and ambition of the lecal leaders.
Mr.. Belmont also, representing ~ .he does
the moneyed interests of t6o Dem66ratic
party, would be quite as we'll suited by the
election of Hayes AZ of the Democratic can
didate. Everything seems 10 corspire
against Tilden, and it 10 predicted that not
withdrawing the violence of language in
dulzed in, there will be no trouble win the
city of New York, which will be- loyal to
the President who will be chosen On the
second Wednesday Of February.
