NEW YORK. September 2l.-The lethr
issued BY Abram 3. Hewitt. Chairman OF
the National Democratic Committee. sd-
dressed 10 tho public concerning the New
York Tims.' charges against Tilden. recites
that the Tya.s. which formerly was . warm
friend Of Tilden. has made serious assaults
Of late on his character, which assaults
eliminated In the charge OF perjury re-
iterated with specifications and details 30
often a. 10 disturb some persons and TO
cause the writer To apply 10 the Treasury
for certified copies oil the income returns
OF Tilden, and that these copies have not
been furnished, nor has his letter been
noticed. though Tilden's adversaries have
had free Access to these returns and have
photographed them; that he therefore
wrote 70 Judge Sinnst, Tilden's coniden-
tial law clerk during the whole period In
dispute. asking him to examine tho pre-
tended account Of Tilden's income In 1862,
Published by tho Tines, and TO furnish
him Hewitt his explanations thereof ;
that this reply had been received and pre-
sented q s~atisfactory refutation Of the
Tims.' charges ; that the answer shows
that out Of the thirteen pretended items OF
income, amounting to $4,000. eleven
items. equaling $4,000, are wholly hcti.
tious. while Of the other two only one OF
8 1000 Is entirely true, and . second one OF
$25, 900 il only partially true, and that
there IL therefore no ground for the asser-
tons Of ~inaccuracy OF Tilden's sworn
statement.
Mr.. SinnAt's statement. 10 which He
witt alludes. after remarking that he
tsinnat) IL perfectly familiar with the
whole Affair and Tilden's business. de-
clares the T,mss' statement false In every
particular and evidently intended TO mis-
lead. For example. the first item reads,
Z. February 10, fee for trustees and MAS
ter Commissioners deed" etc., but the
wording % the second item Is made DIFF
ierent and reads. February %, fees and
expenses with reference TO deed" ETC..
and the third item 10 put In still another
and different mode Of expression, thus I:
.. March I. for drafting. ETC., first mort
gage deed" while In the fourth item the
word fees" aud this time without Eek
penses." Is brought into requisition. The
obvious intent Of the contrivances Ia TO
give these bogus items an appearance OF
being copied from the real papers. Con-
corning Tilden's connection with the
Pittsburg and Fort Wayne railroad, Sin
nat declares that the first six items Of the
Time.' statement arc about accounts which
never existed. and Tilden never made any
specific charge OF them against any indi-
vidual or corporation. Tilden became
counsel for the b~ondholers OF that road In
1889 and worked A-sidiously till 1862. Ho
labored especially hard in 1860 and 1861.
during the foreclosure proceedings. In
October. 1861, the road was sold and .
transfer took place, which necessitated
~hArmonizing the interests Of ~bondholders
In nine classes and In four different States.
Tilden's work was constant and engrossing
and concluded before ths close Of tho
year 1861. He did not make any item.
lied bill. The income tax went into effect
January 1. 1867. Income which had accrued
before this time was exempt from Ito oper-
alton. Sinnat says he does not consider
II necessary to argue that this amount was
not taxable. but cites authorities TO aus
tain that view. lie cites thirteen items
from the T@.ss' statement. arguing To
show that they have been distorted by
Tilden's enemies before being printed.
