There Is now no doubt that TILDEN has
a majority " the votes actually polled In Lou
isiana. Even JAY GoULD's correspondent ad-
mits this, and without reservation. The only
pretext. therefore, upon which the Returning
Board can declare the electoral vote OF the state
for HAYES, Is intimidation in the Ave bull-dozed
parishes. so-called. And the on.y manner In
which this pretext can be made available in
figuring Republican majority Is by either re-
fusing To count Democratic votes actually aud
lawfully pollcd, or counting Republican votes
which were not polled. on the clam IN At thev

Ex-Postmaster General Jewell, whom
Grant literally hoisted out of his Cabi-
net with the toe of his boot, has taken
the stump in Vermont for Hayes and
Wheeler, and he has begun his canvass
on the stereotype plan Of his party by
trying to lie the country into the belief
that Gov. Tilden is sham. In his first
speech made at Rutland, he said
don were sham. In canal reform ii has
amounted to the conviction of one man. and he
not punished, at an expense of S9Ooy0 and COW
cred no money into the treasury"
Now see how plain tale will set this
fellow down. The records OF the State
Of New York show that for ten years
ending in 1874. the people of the State
paid an average annual tax for canal
repairs OF $2,279,615. In 1874 that tax
amounted to 81, 537 ,sl9. How does the
case stand now? Why, the reform
measures instituted by Gov. Tilden have
esulted in the entire and absolute
Abolition Of this tax. Not one cent now
. raised by tax for canal purposes. And
ret the canals. the press Of New York
ell us, were never kept in better order.
We scarcely think the taxpayers Of New
tork begrudge the $s0.00o which the
x.Postmsster General sff1rms 1t cost to
astitute q reform which saves them
anually $685., ,sls.

The moment we read this precious
moroccan we knew it was forgery. And
now the chairman Of the Democratic
Executive Committee Of North Carolina
has written letter to the World de-
nounoing 1t as such. Says the World
1.-THE paragraph first appeared in the
Chicago Inter Ocean, in an alleged spe-
cial report Of a speech made by Gov.
Vance at the beginning of the cam
paign. Like many stories which first
see the light in that journal, 1t had no
foundation whatever in anything said
on that occasion by Coy. Vance, or in
any utterance of his during the canvass.
Indeed, we have the authority OF the
State Committee for saying that If
Gov Vance could have uttered what is
herein attributed to him, the Executive
Committee would at once have demand

at the superfiuous pains Of stating, In

Hon. j. M. Binkley, who was Assis.
tant Attorney General under President
9ohnson, made a speech In Milwaukee
on the 10Th inst, in which he showed
by elaborate tables Of figures the frauds
and thefts Of the Republican National
Administration. A large portion Of the
facts and figures were official, and
were collected by him while member
OF the Cabinet. and while residing at
Washington, where he possessed pecu-
liar facilities for the labor which he had
undertaken. He showed, conclusively,
that previous estimates made OF the
thefts and losses by which the Treasury
had suffered, were far below the mark,
and that the frauds amounted to the
enormous sum total of $1,000, ,0OO, 900,
which Is nearly two-thirds Of the pres
ent aRount OF the national debt. All
this iA4mense sum, he showed, had been
raised from the people by the most
onerous system Of taxation, and had
found Its way into the pockets of dis
honest men

Der OF imitators, who seek to be benefited by
imposing upon the public articles under the
name OF Capsicin and Capsicum Plasters, as
being articles similar to Bensons. BE not do

and I'm no respect the same.
The word CapciDe will hereafter be cut in
every pla.ter to ensure the consumer against
,counterfeits or limitations. Bensons Capcine
Porous Plasters are now conceded to be the
most effective remedy ever offered the public.
They give instant relief and cure quicker than
any known plasor. Iniment or compound.
They can cure where other porous plasters
simply relieve. They contain mother metalli &c
nor mineral poisons. They nre indorsed by

Tilden, according to the result, stands
for triumph, and Hayes for heorse,
which is symbolical Of defeat.

MOUNT AIRY, N. j. Jan. 18th, 1875.
We were at Pennington last Monday and
spent few minutes in the Court room, and
the first object of importance which met our
gaze was the Commodore, who was reclining
in an easy low back chair with his head
thrown back on an angle of ninety degrees
eyes shut, mouth open, and nose pointing di-
rect to the ceiling. He had evidently been
watching spider perform on flying trapeze
and when the court addressed him in connec-
ton with the duties of his office, not wave
of trouble rolled across his peaceful breast.
The room was not over crowded but those
present seemed to wear a solemn and serious
air, probably on account of the close proximity
of SO many constables but we think more on
account of the main fact that people look up
on this institution as the sinking department
