Campaign Lies.

Republican newspapers and orators in
their malignant aspersions of Governor Til
den, are apt to overshoot the mark. Assoon
rs one lie is nailed another is sent forth to
take its place; but these attacks on the
private life of Mr. Tilden are dangerous to
his enemies and return to plague the invtn.
tors The most specious SANDER lately utter.
ed against Gov. Tilden is the story that he
made false returns of his income to the in
ternal revenue assessors in 1862. Our Re-
publican friends rolled the SANDER under
their tongues as sweet morsel, and boldly
charged him with perjury. This charge has
betn happily set at rest, for it appears that
Gov. Tilden only strictly obcycd the law as
officially interpreted by the Commissioner
of Interna, Revenue, and in no manner vio-
lated his oath or endeavored TO cvade the
payment of government tax.
AS an Offset to this SANDER, and probably
with as much ground of truth, the charge is
made that Governor Hayes, in 1874, returned
money, credits, book accounts, household
goods, &c, to the assessors at $1,000. The
will of Sardis Birchard, who bequeathed r.
B. Hayes fully $4,000 personal property,
was admitted to probate January Goth, 1874,
and as Gov. Hayes was the executor without
bond, he became possessed of all the proper
ty devised by will to him at once. Orchard
returned his personal property, exclusive of
moneys, credits, notes, &c, as $9,0S2 to the
assessor. April. 1878 Governor Hayes, after
having oil Birchard returned added to what
he owned previously, returned to the asses
sor, April, 1874 all his personal property not
Included in seventeen enumerated items as
81 900. Was this perjury? In March, 1874,
he held mortgages amounting 10 So. 675. He
did not return those for taxation. Was this
perjury In 1874 he returned one gold
watch valued at $500; in 1875 lie returned
three watches, including the one previously
valued at $500, and estimated the value of
the three at $780, Was this perjury, He
returned three horses at $500, when oil his
neighbors know lie values one of them at
$500 Was this perjury? He returned three
carriages, estimating their value at $3.50,
when one of them cost $500 and another
$3.50. Was this perjury? Wedo not charge
Gov Hayes with having perjured himself,
but we do say that there are more substantial
grounds for believing that lie perjured him
self in making returns of his property to the
assessors, than for the slanderous charge
brought against Governor Tilden

Special Correspondence Of the Rgis.
Letter From Baltimore.

BALTIMORE Sept. 6.
After brief season of enjoyment in Hartford
with Its varied and picturesque scenery, health.
giving atmosphere, genial hospitality and bad
whisky, it proves difficult task to Settle down
to the active duties of daily life; but AS there
Is no opportunity of appeal, the yoke is taken
up and we find ourselves again drifting forward
in the old channel. Yet it is under protest,
and it is with rebellious spirit, which will at
times display Itself, that "the old man" is re-
sumed. Speaking of scenery, ii reminds us that
the "Gardcn Spoi" is not alone beautiful, but
as an agricultural district has few equals in this
portion of the country. The old axiom runs
"A thing OF beauty is a JOY foreveI"-and when
it combines ornament and utility, how much
greater shonld be the appreciation of those who
enjoy it.
Your correspondent had occasion TO make n
short trip through Howard, Montgomery and
adjacent counties within the past few days, and
was greatly surprised TO notice the exceeding
contrast IN the agricultural production com
pared with Hartford and Baltimore counties -
In the corn crop especially, there was decided
difference in quality in favor of the latter.
In tins city at present there is denrth of
news; the campaign appearing TO monopolize
most attention, and present Indications point
10 stubborn contest this fall. New clubs of
either faction arc forming daily, and the cam.
paign is fully opened. The Republican party
appear TO appreciate that they are battling for
"lost cause and are entering the strife with
renewed vigor. Their eXcriions are well worthy
better cause. To add to the attraction of their
assemblies they have instituted "singing
bands, with political songs set 10 Moody and
Sankey tunes. Should this succeed, would il
not be well for them to inaugurate praying
bands also? How would Ilaycs's letter do for
revival eNhortation, or his little income trans
action for an opening prayer!
Railroad accidents, it would seem, are con-
tagious. Following close upon the Is. d 2. dis
aster came the p, W. " b., then the Western
Maryland, and now the b. IL O. carry off the
palm in their endeavor TO run an express train
on the raging canawl," instead of the more
modern system of iron rails. Not SO expedi-
tious, perhaps, but less destructive. There
was no inquest held upon Shipley's remains at
the time, and although the 81. PSI of that vi
entity deemed it unnecessary, our South Balti-
more coroner demanded it and had it. No one
doubted that there was criminal negligence, vet
the verdict was pnuely accidental.
Not wishing to tire your readers | will close
with the information that Baltimore is safe, as
there was an association of ''mnutc men" or.
ganzed day or two ago. X.

Hayes and Tilden.

Some men are born to greatness and some
have greatness thrust upon them. OF the
latter class is Rutherford b. Hayes, Republi-
can candidate for President. A weak, indo-
lent, lazy man. of mediocre talent, utterly
deficient in executive ability, his elevation to
important and responsible public offices can
only be accounted for by the fuct that his
negative qualities of goodness made him a
suitable man to be managed by partisan and
often corrupt politicians, by whom he
has been elevated to positions in which DIFF
ferent and sterner qualities are required
The history of Governor Hayes, us member
of Congress and executive of great State,
may be searched in vain for The record OF
any important and useful public measures
advocated or suggested by him. He has
never shown himself possessed of sufficient
Individuality or energy to throw himself
into the breach and cali upon his party TO
follow, when the good OF the people required
q bold movement on the part OF n leader
but he has been content TO do the bidding OF
those who put him forward and thrust his
greatness upon him. His political and off
cial course seems to haye been guided by
Others and if he possesses the ability to think
for himself he lacks the energy to do it.
Governor Tilden, on the contrary, is a
man of extensive knowledge, strong person.
al character, well-known integrity. and,
above all, is an active and energetic oppo-
ncnt of everything that savors in the slight
est degree of corruption or dishonesty a
man who will WELD the power intrusted to
him for the benefit of those by whom it is
confided man who, placed by party in n
position of influence, responsibility and
greatness will use the attributes of his Office
for the furlherance of the interests of the
whole community without respect to party ;
who WILL when in the Presidential chair,
take active measures for the rcmcdying of
the ey lis under which the country is now
suffering; who WILL by his natural energy,
drive out thieves and robbers from the pub
lie service and cause the affairs of his admin
istration to be regulated and conducted by
men of character like that of HIMSELF who
will himself take charge of oil matters con-
nected with the Government, and see that
they are conducted according to his own
high notions of honor and uprightness.
Under Hayes the present system of plum
der would be inevitably perpetuatcd; from
him nothing in the way Of reform, however
bright and specous his promises, could be
reasonably expected. He would be naught
but tool in the hands of the men who have
controlled and done all they could to corrupt
the Republican party.
By Tlden the word reform means an &C
tive and II vigorous campaign against all the
vilainy and debasing practices which have
paralyzed the country. Him the people
mean to elect, being themselves tired Of the
present system and knowing that no relief
can be looked for from the Republicans,

son, perhaps no prominent man was ever
SUBJECT to such ISLANDERS and abuse as Sam

Jelersons time accused him OF being an
atheist, an infidel, Plunderer and usurper,
and the dictionaries were ranslckcd for
the most opprobrous terms to te hurled
at grand "Old Hickory" But the people
made short work of the political knaves
and slanderers of that period, and while
the maligners of jefferson and Jackson are
rotting in unknown graves, the memories
OF the latter are cmbalmed in history, and

Tilden will be is enthusiastically endorsed
by the people as were his great prcdeces-
sors, Jefferson and Jackson.-N. Y. Dan
Book.
There IS not one Republican member
of Congress who is free from obligation to
Grant for favors of patronage. He has a
perfect roster of their applications and of
their rewards, and he deies them to oppose
him or to assail his acts. Hence the ex-
traordnary silence and submission at
Washington in the presence of excuses
that demand the sternest reprobation.-
Grant is no worse than the party. He is
the outgrowth of a venal system which
Congress created partly in the interast of
those who shaped the legislation, and part
ly to appease the avarice and the ambition
Of the President. They made common
cause together, and opened the doors wide
to extravaganza, corruption, waste and
speculation, until the collapse came and
the whole thing exploded. Now, they are
fighting to save all that is possible from
the wreck, by resisting economy in every
form and threatening the peoples repre-
scntatives. Grant is master of the situa-
ton, and the party dare not offend him.
