an income until it came into his
hands; but, if not, then there was q
part of his income on which he paid
no tax. That is exactly the point.
He swindled the Government and
swore to false return in order to do
so. Mr.. Tilden's defense seems also
to be based on the assumption that
in the year 1862. when he swore his
income was only $7,1lS, he had re-
ceived nothing but this single fee of
$4,000. This will scarcely do. Did
Mr.. Tilden get no other fees for a
whole year, notwithstanding his
large practice as corporation law
yer? Had he no dividends, interest
rents, or other resources, notwith-
standing he had already amassed
a large fortune.9 1t is more
probable that his income for the year
1862 was 100000, the $4,000 having
been but a single item; but he swore
that it was only $7,l1S. The theory
Of Mr.. Tilden's "defense" would ena'

This is the reudctio dd dbsardum. Tit

The POttsville ReUieW gives All &C
count of an interview with Col. A.
B. Smedley, Grand Lecturer of the
National Grange, who has just re-
turned from an extensive tour thro'
the South, on business connected with
the Order. He says Northern peo-
pie have no conception of the South
to-day-that it is the scene of pro-
scription and terrorism scarcely less
widespread in extent, or whitening
in its influence than that existing be-
fore the war. Freedom Of speech and
action on the part of the Republic
ans in the South is as fully and en-
tirely tabooed as at any time before
the war: and unless an army is dis
tributcd through the South there
will be no fair expression before the
people at the polls in the approach
ing election. He says fully one-half
of the Southern States have within
their limits good working Republic
an majorities, but they aDiN not dare to
gote; aud he questions greatly wheth-
er South Carolina will dare give
Hayes and Wheeler her electoral
vote, though she is conceded Repub-
lican by a large majority"
These are the views of a clear
headed, intelligent man, who has
travelled quietly and on private bust
ness, all over the South, and had the
best opportunities of acquiring infor-
nation. Col. Sinedley is well known
in Iowa, and what he says can be and
will be relied on.
49,
Bro. Ives, who hasn't been South,
insists that there is no terrorism in
that section, and that Scott Lords
bloody shirt resolutions are unneces-
sary. Bro. Smedley, a non-partisan
and head-center of the Grange, has
been there, and the above is his story.
Will Bro. Ives please arise in his
place and move the expulsion of Bro.
Smedley?

The New York Herald (independ
ent DEMOCRACY has the following crit.
icism on the two letters of acceptance
of Hayes and Tilden:
Still grdcer plumbers have been
made in the letters of acceptance. The
letter of Hayes is short, manly ana
ringing. There is not sentence thai
is not plain to the humblest mind. There
is not an issue which he does not &C
cept in simple way. When we have
read it we understand it. On the
other hand, the letter of Tilden reads
like a chapter from, some German aooyA
on metaphysics, and will have about
as much effect on the canvass. 1t is
able, learned and wise, but SO far as
the masses are concerned, ADORE the
clouds.
"Worse than all, Tilden's letter,
when we come to analyze it, contains
a surrender. OF the two men-Tilden
and Hendricks-the latter makes the
best figure. He went into the can
vass flying the greenback flag, and he
still flies it. Tilden went in carrying
his gold embroidered specie flag, but
he furls it. No amonnt Of erplana.

possible reason"

We print to-day letter from Mos.
by on the political situation, taken
from the Irish World, which is a
leading advocate of the cause OF
Irishmen.
John S. Mosby is not just precisely
the sort of statesman and soldier
that we admire, yet he is fully as
good as the to or 70 rebel colonies
and brigadiers who represent Democ
racy on the floor Of the Lower House
and vastly better in every respec
than many Of them.
If Mosby had stuck to the los
cause, he would be in Congress to-day
and looked up to by many as a pure
unmixed patriot and reformer of tht
Confederate Democratic persuasion
But like Longstreet, and others, HI
surrendered and quit fighting at Ap

casionally, of his having been {

u.,f Million Fire,

SAN Francisco, Aug. @.-About
II o'clock last nighta fire broke out
on Brandon street, in neighborhood
closely built with frame dwellings,
stores and mining establishments.
Before o. m. the fire almost COM
pletely swept the large block bound
ed by Brandon, Townsend. Third and
Fourth streets, the only buildings saw
ed being the fine offices of the Central
Pacific railroad and few frames of
small value, mostly badly damaged.
Over 200 families are turned out of
doors. The loss in the aggregate is
half q million dollars. Among the
buildings destroyed was the German
Hospital, which at the time had about
seventy patients. Owing to the rap
id spread of the flames the inmates
were, for while, in critical posi-.
ton, but were eventually removed
without accident.
The streets for blocks were Uttered
with goods and packed with dense
crowd. At one time there was i'm.
minent danger that the fire would
cross and sweep that portion of thu
city down to the Pacific Mail Dock
but the fire brigade made stand OIL
that street and checked the flames
Some Of the dwellings destroyed
were of superior character. Be
sides these the principal loss is thu
destruction of the hospital and hotels
box, sash and blind manufactures
During the conflagration fireman
named Steward, fell from ladde
and was instantly killed.
