GOVERNOR TILDEN DEFINES BIS POSITION RE-
GARDrNG SOUTHERN CLAIMS.
New YORK, October Ex-Governor Til
den has addressed Hon. Abram S. Hewitt q
letter, dated to-day, declaring his position in
regard to the southern claims. He quotes
the fourteenth amendment OF the Constitu-
ton: points to the fact that it has been re-
peatedly approved by Democratic State con-
ventions OF the South, and was adopted
as part OF the platform OF the last
National Democratic Convention, which
declared it to be universally accept
ed as final settlement. Governor
Tilden giving his public declaration on the
subject, previously made, says: "Should L
be elected President the provisions OF the
fourteenth amendment will, so lar rs de-
pends upon me, be maintained, executed
and enforced in perfect and absolute good
faith. No rebel debt will be assumed or
paid; no claim for the loss or emancipation
Il
for any loss or damage incurred by
disloyal persons arising from the late
war, whether covered by the fourteenth
amendment OF not, will be recognized or
paid: the cotton tax will not be refunded.
I shall deem it my duty to veto every bill
providing for the assumption or payment OF
any such debts, losses, damages, or claims,
or for the refunding of such tax. The dam
ger to the national treasury is not from
claims CT persons who aided the rebellion,
but from claims of persons residing in the
southern States, or having property IN
those States, who were, or pretended
to be, or who for the sake OF aiding claims
now pretend to have been loyal to the Gov
eminent OF the Union. Such claims even
of loyal persons when they are from acts
caused by the operations of war, have been
disowned by the public law OF civilized ma
tions, condemned by the adiudications OF
the Supreme Court of the United States,
and only find any status by force OF spe-
cifc legislation OF Congress. These
claims have become stale, and are often
tainted with fraud. They are nearly always
owned in whole or in part by claim agents,
bv spectators or lobbyists, who have no
equity against the taxpayers or the public.
They should in oil cases be scrutlnlzed
with jealous care. The calamities to in
dividuals which were, inflicted by the late
war are for the most part irreparabe. The
Government cannot recall to life the MIL
lion of our youth who went to untlmely
graves, nor compensate the suferlngs
or sorrows of their relatives or friends.
It cannot readjust between individuals
the burdens of taxation heretofore
borne, or OF debts incurred to sus-
tain the Government which are yet to be
paid. 1t cannot apportion anew among our
citizens the damages or losses incident to
military operations, or resulting in every
variety Of form from its measures for main
tanning it's own existence. 1t has no sale
general rule but to let by-gones be by-gones.
to turn from the dead past to new and
better future, and on that basis to assure
peace, reconciliation, and fraternity De-
tween all sections, classes, and races OF our
people, to the end that all the springs OF
our productive industries may be quick
ened and new prosperity created IN whlch
the evils Of the past shall be forgotten.
