wiz or lose, it is good trait in the
Vermont disposition which enables all hands
to settle down satisfied with the result Of an
election. When the majority speaks, that
tells the story, as everybody respects the

GOV. Haye,'s Incomc LAY.

Some OF the Western Democrats have been
attempting to break the force of the charges
against Mr.. Tilden, by trumping up some
similar charges against Mr. Hayes. Gov.
Hayes thereupon promptly gave the facts to
the Ohio State journal
The charges were frs, that Slrdes Biz
chard, Gov Ia. - uncle and benefaetor.
listed $9,9S2 personality in 1873, exclusive
Of money and credit, while Gov Hayes, with
the same personality IL lis possession, listed
only Il ,000 in 1871. Second, that GOV.
Hayes made . very small estimate of the val
ue Of his watches, although one was alone
worth $500. Third, that hc has never
returned his piano, although he owns very
| handsome one. Fourth, that he returned
ia $50 and lS7G three horses at 500, when
they were worth 500. Fifth, that he r.
turned four carriages at $3.50, when it IS
known that be paid $500 for one and $3.50
for another. Sixth, that S33,70O was left
in h.s hands d bcq.e-t- by Mr. Brehard,
which he was allowed TO hold three years,
bat that lie did not return dollar of this
money FOR taxation. Seventh, that he made
No returns Of tie property as executor.
