The Republicans of Congress have been
unable to make any successful assault npon
Gov. Tilden, though their leaders have busted
themselves since his nomination in delivering
electioneering harangues against him. Thds
speech Of Mr.. Hewitt, Of this city, in defence
OF the Reform candidate, on Monday night
tsee to.day's despatches,) was triumphant
refutation Of the ISLANDERS Of his assailants.

The report of the Louisiana investiga-

Casey, of New Orleans, and Special Agent
Kinsclla, who were eognizant of the prac.

Marshal Packard's political irregularities,
but otherwise commends his efficiency.

The Springfield Republican has no
special admiration for Mr.. Proctor Knott,
but thinks it's about time to ''et up abus.
ing him for his late speech. 1t further
says: at doesn't lie in the mouth of any
friend, henchman or apologist of Mr..
james G. Blaincs to criticise either the
matter or manner of his speech. As bc-
tween him and the ex-Speakcr, dishonors
are easy. If Knott was angry, lie had
abundant reason to be; Blaine's sudden
assault upon him was as mean and malici
GUS performance as this session has wit
messed. If he hit below the belt, he was
only hitting back In kind"

Inc Dreviy OF the Oovernor's message in
regard 10 the canals may be surprise to the
public. Its ability, pungency and compre-
hensiye grasp Of somewhat intricate subject,
will surprise nobody-unless, perhaps, the
corrupt gang against whose system Of piunder
il Is mainly directed. As a searching analy.
sis Of one Of the most long-lived systems Of
official peculation in the State, the message
has an interest for the general tax payer iar
beyond the subject TO which il Immediately
refers. To those directly interested, as mer-
chants, boatmen, or forwarders, in the low-
ering Of canal tolls and the making OF canal
expenditures more productive Of solid results,
the Governor appeals as one who has made
a long and careful study Of the subject Of in.
ternal water results, and who Is thoroughly
competent to reveal the very source and cen
ter Of the abuses which have helped TO divert
the legitimate commerce Of the State into
other channels. =

Again, on October &c, 1871, the Times re.

IL anything can arouse the New York public

accounts which we publish to-day Here W.
have, thanks 10 the iabors of Mr.. Samuel j
Tilden, full and conclusive evidence tha
William NJ. Tweed differs only from a com
mon thief in having stolen tens Of thousand
instead Of tens of dollars. We refer to IN,
affidavit Of Mr.. Tilden for detailed accoun
of how the disposal Of the money was traced
Here is also another little editorial extrac
on tho same date as the above -
If the people will not believe Republicans
surely they will find il hard to refute the eyi

"The campaign against the Canal Ring is
fairly begun, and the first advance upon that
stronghold Of fraud and corruption was made
by Gov. Tilden, who sent his anxiousIy look
ed-for message on this subject TO both Houses
of the Legislature to-day. The document is
strong one, but is not to be deemed mex.
haustive on the subject. A perfect state Of
panic exists among all those who have been
and are involved in the matter. Since the
contents Of the message have become known,
it is everywhere admitted that no such assault
had ever before been made on this Ring, and
that its momentum was too great and too di.
rect TO be either resisted or averted.''
And on the same day the following editor.
ial comments appeared /:
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1876-08-26

The Times and the Republican Press gen.
orally do not scruple in the present Presi-
DENTAL canvass to connect Mr. 4Tlden's name
with the Tammany Ring or with the Canal
Ring. What excuse will the Times proffer
for having published this editorial?
From the New York Times, Sept. Is, 1874.
Mr.. Tilden has been opposed solely on the
ground that he assisted TO fasten personally
upon Tweed, in court Of law, the proof cf
his guilt. There has been no 9th : objection
urged TO him. The Republicans could well
afford, from party standpoint, to stand by
and see him rejected On the other hand,
we must all admit that Tilden is not suppor.
ted BY the canal plunderers.
