HORRIBLE DEATH.-The GAINESVILLE
Gazette gives the following account of
the horrible death of Rock county
farmer: One of the most painful and
sickening tragedies which ever occurred
in this portion of Wisconsin blackend
the day at Brodhead Sunday. The vic
tim of this horrible tragedy was Mr..
Jacob Ten Eyck, an old settler, and a
highly respected resident of Green
county. He left his house about ten
o'clock in the morning, the family sup
posing that he had gone to one of the
neighbors. In crossing one of the fields
on his farm in which was herd of cat
tie and ferocious bull, he was attacked
by the latter and killed. The hogs in
the field began the sickening work of
eating the human body, and when
search was made for him in the evening,
the animals had devoured all of it but q
part of his head and one foot. A more
horrible circumstance than this we have
meyer been called upon to relate. Mr..
TenEyck was among the oldest settlers
of Green county, having been resi-
dent of Brodhead for the past 35 OF 40
years. He was about Is years old.

A CORRESPONDENT of The Chicago
Times, after attempting to defend Gov.
Tilden against the charge or defrauding
the revenue, asks how it is about Gov
Hayes, saying: He is, like Tilden
reputed millionaire. Let us know how
much tax on income for 1862 the Repub-
ican candidate for President paid" We
are glad to answer the question. Gov.
Hayes is by no means a millionaire, but
the competence that lie possesses was
left him, only q few years ago, upon the
death o. an uncle. In 1862, lie was COM
t5cuI t,vvI IIIun, 1lesr lug, UIIly U1IO
small property that he had earned by
the practice of his profession. He paid
for that year a tax of 8 per cent. upon
his pay as lieutenant colonel in the ar
my, which was deducted regularly at
every bimonthly payment. We are
grateful to the correspondent for call
ing attention to this contrast. It pre-,
sents on the one hand the spectacle OF
MAJ worth not less than q million of dol
lars, staying snugly end safely at home
while mighty danger threatened the
country, and resorting to purjury to es-
cape the payment of tax that was.sore-
~ needed to support the defenders of
the Union in the field. On the other
hand, it presents the spectacle of man
who went to the front the moment he
found that his services were needed, and
while fighting gallantly there, his life ex-
posed every moment to rebel bullets,
paid from his small salary every cent
that was due the Government on account
of the tax on incomes. Nothing could
better represent the difference between
the two men.-Seatti3aeI.

DEMOCRATIC papers feign a great des'
of indignation at Republican papers for
what is called their charge of perjury
against Tilden. They should keep in
mud that it is 1ilden that has charged
himself with perjury that is to say, the
Republican papers have put side by side
two afidavits of 7 lden which on thei- face
are in plain contradiction, and asked a
explanation. No explanation authorized
by Tilden has been made so far as the
public knows, althorSh several have
been volunteered ~ his ''reform"
friends, none of which, however, fully
and squarely meet the matter. This is
the simple statement of the case. If
there is an honest, straight forward ex-
PLANTATION of these affidavits Tilden could
probably make it in an hours time.
without in any way sacrificing his dig
nifty or self respect. The fact that he
has not made such explanation is exceed
ingly suggestive

MORE REFORM.

The New York Democrats held their
state convention last week, and nomina-
ted Horatio Seymour for Governor by
reclamation. Before the convention
adjourned, information had been re-
ceived by the proper committee that
Mr.. Seymour would not, under any CIR
cumstances, accept the nomination. The
telegram containing this information
was suppressed by the leaders, and the
convention, after making the other NOM
nations, adjourned. When the fact be-
came known that the members of that
body had been thus sharply practiced
upon, we can imagine that all was not
serene in the Democratic camp-in fact,
the effort to place the nomination of
a candidate for Governor in the hands
of few ring leaders, and defeat the
will of the people, is going to disgust
thousands of honest Democrats and
roll up rousing majority for the Re
publican ticket.
The Chicago Tribune, speaking of the
outrage, says ''No one familiar with
Mr.. Tilden's political methods will
doubt for moment that he inspired the
conduct OF the recent Democratic State
Convention in New York. He ran it as
completely as he ran the st. Louis con-
vention in his own interest, and there
was no independence of thought or act
ion CD the part of the delegates, who
were his automatons merely. He prob
ably believed that he could constrain MIR.
Seymour to accept the nomination. In
this he erred, but he withheld the knowl-
edge of his failure from the Convention, SO
that it adjourned, leaving the nomination
for Governor to be dictatated by him to
the State Central Committee. He Sc
cured this result by having the Chair
man of the Committee appointed to noti
fy Seymour announce that the latter had
signifed his intention Of accepting.
This was the lie direct, for Mr.. Seymour
on the contrary, had persistently and
peremptorily refused to accept. Judge
GREY, the Chairman of the State Com
mittee, now announces this, and the
Democrats are so much outraged at the
whole proceeding that they will probably
insist upon having the Convention re-
called. This viii be personal rebuke
to Tilden, who would probably name
his factotum, Dorsheimer, OF his for
mer partner, Andrew Il. Green,
now Comptroller of New York City, for
the place. In any case, there is new
cause for dissension among the New
York Democrats; and the part of auto
crat and dictator which Tlden has at
tempted to play will not be likely to
strengthen him in his own State

THE Chicago Times started the report
that Gov. Hayes had followed Ti1den's
example and made false returns of prop
erty subject to taxation. Gov. Hayes,
Immediately upon hearing the report,
wrote letter to the Columbus State
Journal in which he stated facts which
leaves nothing on which to hang doubt
that the story of his guilt is lie of the
fimsiest kind. The Inter Ocean of yes
terday has this to say about it:
''The Times ''roorback" from Fremont
is fully exploded by our Columbus cor
respondent this morning. Never, per-
maps, in history did metropolitan jour
nal make such fuss over a matter
which proves to be SO entirely without
foundation. 1t well illustrates the des-
perate extremes to which the Tilden
party is reduced. Unable to make any
satisfactory explanation of their leaders
false returns of income, they have I'M
dertaken to play the game of the con-
victed schoolboy, and cry out ''Your' re
another" The ignominious failure will
probably teach them to use greater dis
erection; but that it will turn them from
the evil ways of Justification and mis-
representation it would be ole to hope. y

ADMINISTRATIVE reform is the fort over
which the Democrats have planted their
flag with flourish of trumpets. Nj.
Schurz, in his speech at Cincinnati.
goes behind the intrenchments and
meets them Oh their own ground. He
reduces civil service reform to its sim
pies terms, and after contrasting the
letters of acceptance shows that Gov.
Hayes has promised to abolish the de-
moralizing system. of spoils, while Gov.
Tilden merely aims to distribute them
anew. He insists that Gov. Hayes has
embodied in his letter the clearest and
completest programme OF civil service
reform ever put forth by public man
in the United States. This is the calm.
unbiased verdict of one who is himself
a champion Of the cause.

1t is all well enough for the Demo
Gratis to protest against reviving sold
war issues" but they should be careful
lest they stir them up themselves. Such
a paragraph as the following from The
Mobile Register revives suspicious
which the most magnanimous Republi-
cans find it hard work to keep down:
1.-The grave question to be settled at
much cost is: What is to be done to
get rid OF the negro as voter? Sooner
or later, with more or less dispatch, he
will be DISTINGUISHED and thrust out of
politics. White men of all parties and
of every grade of religious or moral con-
viction may as well come quickly to the
consideration how to get the negro out
of politics with the least confusion and
cost. He must go, and there is no
profit in standing lorg upon the order
of his going. The question of suffrage
belongs to the States respectively.
When the organized Democracy of 1876
goes into Office, each State shall be al
lowed to settle this and other social and
domestic issues for itself and in its own
way without any interference from the
General Government. Then we can
in the work of resetting Cur shattered
political and demoralized social institu-
tons upon correct foundations.

Vermont voted for state officers, mem
bers of Congress and members of the
legislature on the 9TH, and her verdict is
an overwhelming endorsement of the
Republican party. There is not the
faintest appearance of any reaction or
leaning toward the bogus ''reform" that
is SO loudly Wanted by the Democracy
just now. The result is very full vote,
and an increase of 10000 in the Repub-
iean majority over that of 1874, which
was 20,325. All three Congressmen are
Republicans, and the legislature over
whelmingly. of the same faith.
