The democratic press essayed
very @tk11n" excuse for the charge
brought against Mr.. Tilden for his
alleged false swearing as to his in
come in 1862. The explanation
that his income, over and zbove
what he ret1rned. was in payment
of what he had earned in former
years, did rot relieve him if it had
been true, and its truth is positively
denied. The next move was to
bring a charge against Mr.: Hayes,
of having made a false return of his
property for taxation in 1868. The
latter Immediately denied this, CIV
ing all the circumstances in detail
and showing that the accusation is
utterly groundless. Now, why does
not Mr.. Zilden, if innocent, do like
wise? If the charge is not true, in
half an hours time he can give a
statement which will make its falsity
apparent; and his refusal to do this
lnclines even his friends to believe
that he is guilty of what is charged.
Gov. Pillsb,ry has issued a
proclamation on the subject of
grasshoppers, in which he urges the
people to take measures for the de-
struction of these pests, and with
that end in view, advises them to
consult together and act in concert.
He alludes to various methods of
destroying the hoppers, and con-
cludes with the excellent advice that
the people of the infested districts
should rely upon their efforts rather
than upon the temporary govern
mental assistance.

again 1t IS not improbable that they
have confederates in that vicinity,
who are either aiding them in keep
ing concealed, or have helped them
to get away In disguises.
Those who profess to know, de-
clare them TO be the James and
Younger gang of Kansas, and say
that Jesse and Frank James and two
of the Younges are with this CON-
pany. Some of this same gang
were in this city not long ago and
purchased horses and equipments
here. They also, visited the banks.
One OF them answers to the descrip-
tion of Jesse James, but they were
not suspected at that time. The
people of Mortified deserve great
credit for the vigorous efforts they
put 1ortn 70 capture the cOrpSes of
these scoundrels. There are re-
wards of about 5000 per head of:
fered for the robbers and they will,
no doubt, be vigilantly followed, let
them 60 where they may. The
State offers $1,000 and the North
field bank $500 each for them.
Since the above was written re-
ports have been received that the
horses and saddles of the robbers
were found in the woods near Ety.
sian. They were delivered to the
authorizes Of Rice county. 1t is,
also, reported that the robbers were
seen at Indian lake, three nslles from,
Mankato, on Tuesday, by Sheriff
Davis, Of Faribault county; but the
truth is that their whereabouts is un.
known, and while it is to be hoped
that they may be caught 'by the
parties still in pursuit it is doubtful
if they viii be.

Brigandisn Rampant.

On last thursday forenoon,
gang of eight mounted men made
their appearance in Northfeld, and
whlle four Of them went into the
bank to rob 1t, the others kept up a
tusllade on the streets, to iutimidate
the citizens from interfering with the
bank. The robbers endeazored to
force the cashier, Mr.. !. /. Hey
wood, to open the safe but he would
not do it, although they strack him
with pistol and swore that they
would kill him if he did not comply.
The delay caused by MI. Hey
woods bravery gave time for the
citizens to recover from the first
shock of surprise and alarm, and
the acco1nphces outside warned the
robbers in the bank to hurry out.
Before leaving the bank, one of
the robbers shot Mr.. fIeywood
through the head, killing him instant
ly. This act was a cold-blooded
and cowardiy murder, for Mr.. Hey
wood was utterly helpless at the
time from the injuries he had prev
iously received. Mr.. Bunker one of
the tellers was, also, shot in the
shoulder, as he was about running
from the bank. He is not badly
hurt. Nicholas Gustavson, whom
they shot on the street, has since
died.
Several citizens had, by this time,
armed themselves and were firing
upon the robbers. Two Of them
were hit, one dying on the spot and
the other soon afterwards. These
were since identified by Mr. l.. NJ.
Hazen, a Cincinnati detective, as
Charley Pitts and Bill Chadwell.
The latter was killed by shot fired
by a young man named Wheeler
from a second story window of a
building opposite the bank. An
other of the party was wounded,
but got away. One of the horses
was also killed.
Finding the citizens thoroughly
aroused, the robbers took the road
towards Morristown, and shortly
after a company of citizens we'll
mounted started in pursuit. From
that time the pursuit has been con-
tinued, other companies from vari-
GUS quarters joining in. 1t was sup
posed that the robbers were con-
cealed in the Big Woods, and it was
believed on Sunday that they could
not escape.
Maj. Strait went to the scene of
operations on Friday, and endeav-
ored to procure an organization of
the pursuers, so as to surround the
woods and close in upon them, but
at last advices this plan had rot
been successfully carried into effect,
and it was doubtful whether thew
had not already left the woods. Or,

TnE TAX ON LEAF TOBACCO.
[Washlhgton Republican. |

UNN ,Hai'H 1r ~ az fsr : firtr.
Ever since the internal revenue
act OF, 1868 the people of the South,
have insisted upon being allowed,
to sell leaf tobacco in unlimited
quantities, or in specified quaint.
ties, for consumption. Under the
present law a producer of tobacco
is not authorized TO sell it in the
leaf except to some licensed man.
ufacturer or person designated in
the law as competent to receive 1t.
The consequence has been that no
tobacco goes into consumption in
the Leaf. 1t is all manufactured
into chewing tobacco, fine cut,
cigars, smoking tobacco, or snuff.
Even the. scraps from the cigar
mandatory are used by other
cigar manufacturers, until all the,
material except the stems is COM,
sumed. In the South they have, q
way Of rolling the leaf and chew,
ing it without other manufacture
This is done on, the plantations,
but the planter is not allowed to
sell it even to his neighbor. A
number Of members from Ken
tucky, Tennessee and Virginia in
sist upon the proposition that, tho
q /.
producer be allowed to sell q
hundred dollars worth of leaf for
consumption, and the, Commission
'er of Internal Revenue is very
strongly opposed to it. r-,,f.., !, ..
1t is evident from the tone Of
feeling in the House Of Represen.
tatives, that they intend to pass
a bill allowing o producer to sell
one hundred dollars worth of leaf
tobacco for consumption, but, as
sure as they do, it will be defeated
by the Senate Fipance Committed,
and the Senate, in both Of which
places it has been defeated before.
1t was the old rule to place no,
special tax ppon the raw, agricul-
tural produce like cotton, hay, leaf
tobacco, grain, garden vegetables.
ETC., etc. For two or three years
there was o tax collected upon raw
cotton, but it was repealed because
it was cohtended to be no more
just than would be a like tax upon
hay and grain, The tax on leaf
tobacco was several times defeated
upon the same ground. 1t is con-.
sidered by tobacco producers an
exceptional tax or restriction upon
sales Of farm produce that is en-
tirely indefensible. 2.a.,,o Ioa p,
