We have referred to the startling ex-
posure of Samuel j. Tilden's fraudulent
practices in making false returns Of his
income in order to escape paying taxes
for the support of the Union in its war
against dae shareholders rebellion.
But most readers will be apt to think
the charges are put forth for electioneer-
ing purposes, and cannot be true; that
it is impossible to suppose candidate
for the Presidency could be guilty Of
Doth perjury and fraud in q matter Of
this kind: This very thought has greatly
staggered US, and rendered it exceed
ing!y diGcult to believe that Tilden
could be guilty Of what is alleged.
But what is the explanation of the two
following af6rmations made by Mr.. TIL
den:

Business Prospects.

There IS good deal Of unneces-
sary croaking INDUCED in, and some
persons seem to believe that busi-
ness in this country is irretrievably
ruined. If these would only re-
member the past and compare the
present with it, they would soon
perceive that seasons of similar de-
preston have occurred frequently
hitherto in this and all other coun
tries; but that causes superior to
legislation have always operated to
bring about recovery and a renewal
OF prosperity. These self-same
causes are gradually coming into
operation now, and before another
August we shall see the business of
the country active and prosperous.
Already the stagnation is giving
place to preparations for increased
activity Public improvements are
being projected, manufacturers are
preparing to resume Operations in
full, |b',ilders are receiving propos-
ais for the erection IF new edifces
and the business prospects generally
are rev'ving. The night of prostra-
ton is drawing to its close, and an
other busy day is dawning upon us.
This, at least, is the conclusion
We draw from careful reading of the
special business papers Of the coun.
try, such as the Railway World, the
Chicago Grocer, the Traders Ga
zette, etc., and the business columns
of the metropolitan daihes. True,
we are unfortunate here in the
Northwest in having a light crop,
certainly not more than two-thirds
the average yield, and in the pros
pect Of having to sell at low prices.
This is calamity to such as have
to pay debts contracted in the flush
times existing several years ago.
But there is this consolation for them
the prices of nearly everything
they have to buy are considerably
reduced from the standard of two
years ago, and it has cost them con-
siderably less this year than it did
then to raise and take care of their
grain. And, again, it is hardly prob
able that the price Of wheat will
f1uctuate through so wide a range as
it did last year. The market for
new opens here at 8oa9oc. for the
several grades, and from present in
dications there is little room to hops
for an advance later in the season.
Instead of desponding and pre-
dieting that After us comes the
food," the interests of the entire
community will be advanced if all
endeavor to cultivate spirit Of
hopefulness. We are no worse off
than those have been who have
gone before us, and the probabilities
all favor the expectation that better
times are close at hand. Let us.
therefore, be cheerful and ready to
do what we can to hasten the resto-
ration of public confidence and the
return Of business prosperity.

THE SEPAR ATOR,

Although superior machine previously, has
been improved as follows:
Adjustable boxes are added to Tighten the
rakes without shortening them.
A new attachment to drive the elevator,
diminishing both noise and friction.
A sheet iron floor under the grain rake; a
great improvement.
A seed and chess box, preventing escape of
foul seeds, &C.
We give a No. Grain Taller with each
Separator sold.
An improved sheet-iron seive4will be furn-
ished with each Separator sold.
We also make for the first time, combined
timothy and fax seive; and several Others
which we have not space to enumerate.

The Anneaiy Debate.

a very significant debate recently
occurred In the House II Representa-
tiyes 1T Washington, conducted
mainly by aicssrs Blaine and Hill.
II has given rise to great deal OF
earnest thought and comment all
over the country, and has had at
least the one good effect Of showing
that the old dls.uniOn sentiment II
rife In the Sontb as ID was at the
close OF the war, that the controlling
element and strength of the Demo-
cratic party are still In the South and
that 10 trust the administration OF
the Government to the hands Of that
party would be 10 invite another

and the Federal Union In imminent
peril. The following editorial on
the subject Of the debate we copy
from Hmpor's Weekly. and recon-
mend It's thoughtful perusal:
The late amnesty debate in the
House Of Representatives has had sew
cral very distinct results. IL has
shown the extraordinary parliament
tary skill of Mr. Blaine. Ii has salts
fled those who thought him too tImid
that he has plenty of pluck. II has
given an opportunity for stating the
exact truth in regard to the war
prisons and prisoners--an opportu.
nifty which General Garfield admira-
bly, improved. But, chief and most
important Of all, IL has revealed the
real spirit both OF the Northern and
Southern Democracy, and has arous-
ed the country to the perception that
human passions and political pur-
poses are not changed because OF a
Centennial" year. The peril OF
this country since tho war has been
that In the natural magnanimity
toward defeated enemy, and the
equally natural wish that the war
should be as II II had not been, the
necessary facts OF the situation would
be forgotten, and the essential gains
OF the struggle risked. A contest so
vast and radical does not pass like n
summer shower. II Is not vindic-
tiveness, nor sectionalism, nor hos
tility to real return OF good feeling,
but common-sense and wise states.

canoe. and OF having asserted by the
/ month OF leading Southern Repre-.
sentative that The government had
lbeen odiously cruel in the prosecu-
lion OF the war. That Mr.. Hill did
not taunt the minority as Lincoln's
Ihirelipgs and minions was probably
an acf.of pure grace. The ferosity
of HE feelings toward the antislav-
cry sentiment that sus tanned the.war
was shown in the conclusion Of his
speech. i'm the precise tone and man

There has been an effort upon the
part OF the Northern Democratic
press TO belittle Mr.. Hill as an irrec-
oncilable and fire-eater, and to insist
that he does not fairly represent the
feeling Of the cx-Confederates or Of
the Democratic party. Yet, almost
at the very hour OF Mr.. Hili'sspeech
Ia Congress, Mr. Lucius Quintus Cur
titus Lamar, who Is constantly cited
as the type Of the most moderate and
reasonable Southern sentiment, was
saying to the Democratic caucus Of
the Mississippi Legislature:
"All that / can say Is that, as q
Southern man, Georgian by birth
and education, aud q Mississippian
by adoption In my earliest manhood,
/ came to thank this Convention Of
Southern men. dccendents Of South

What does all this show but Mr. La
mars consciousness that, when he is
not speaking for a northern audience,
he must utter the feeling which,
whether he'personally holds II or APP
proves ID or not, he knows to be In
the hearts Of those around him? and
that feeling, not Mr.. Lamar's care
full words in Congress, make up the
opinion Of "the South" which a
Democratic success would restore to
power. We do not deplore a debate
which has so plainly revealed the
real position and tendency Of parties,
and which shows the imperitive
necessity Of the success Of the Repub-
licans In the election this year. The
speech Of Mr.. Hill has doubtless
decided thousands of wavering and
doubling voters that the Republican
candidates must be sustained, If they
are such-and such they doubtless
will be-as every patriotic and hon
est man can support. The strength
OF the Democratic party is now, Dc 1t
has been for many year, In the
South. In the Administration Ii
would be controlled by the most pos
tive and resolute sentiment of the
South, before which IL has cringed
for generation, and Of that senti-
ment Mr.. Hill Is characteristic rep
resentative.

What Is Said.

The following are among the rumors
afoat at Washington involving the rep
utations of prominent officials under
the Administration That the Chief
Clerk of the War Department may pos
siblv be discovered to have been interest
ed through either a brother or near
friends in the same business \ thor
ough examination of the manner in which
the contingent fund Of the Department
has been disbursed under Secretary Bel
knap's administration might also result in
some very interesting disclosures. Large
sums, it is sail, have been paid to Gen.
Belknap during the last five or six years for
travelling expenses, which could aot be
explained on the assumption that all the
Journeys were taken for the transaction
of public business. Other scandals, it is
said. will be disclosed similar to those
which were instrumental iii causing the
defeat of Acknowledgement Williams,
when nominated by the President to be
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Gen. Belknap's carriage-driver and two
other persons, principally employed as
footmen and por'ers in Gen. Belknaps
house, are said to have been paid out of
the public funds of the War Depart
ment.

was a meritoriouS one had been presented
to the Governor. That there was also a
letter with + e papers, from Parsons to the
Governor, saying that he (ParSons) had
that the person outraged was lewd wo-
man, and that he (Mr Tucker) had made a
statement to Mr.. Parsons to the Same effect
Mr.. Tucker did not know who tine citizen
referred to was; but the statement as to
him was false, The statement made bv him
of the case to Mr.. Parsons, when asked about
it, was exactly the reverse: that he did not
know at the time that Parsons was in the
pardoning business; that on Saturday even
ing. so far as he could learn, Parsons and
Packer went to the Penitentiary, had con-
sultatiOn with Smith and gave him the par

the walls until after 6 O'Clock. That Col.
Noonan had made two different statements

which an intoruial examination had already
begun: first, that all OF the SO $50 had been
paid to Smith in one hundred dollar bills
except $500 which was paid TO Parsons,
and some other small amounts for incident

in money, $500 to Parsons, and for the bal

for several years. See resolutions in Legis-
