this week:
When we quit coddling the Indians,
when we put them under such restraints
as shall bring them rightly into subiec-

responsibility according to their situa-

THE Republican papers make a note
-ofthe absence of the negro in the st.
Louis Convention. The fact, however,
is, that there were more negroes there
than at Cincinnati, and they were on
excellent terms with the delegates-at
the hotels. If the negro vote had been
needed to give the solid South to the
Democratic candidates, there would
have been as much coddliag of the
African man and brother at st. Louis
as there was at Cincinnati. Your Dem
ocrat Is not above soliciting the negro
with show of political and even social
equality when his vote is needed to
carry an election.-Cf Cincinnati CONNER

THE Brooklyn argus, Democratic,
publishes approvingly the speech made
in Dayton. by George w. Houck, a del
|egate to the st. Louis Convention, in
Opposition to Tilden, and adds:
1t is not to be denied that secret mur-
murs of discomfort and closed lips are
heard and seen all along the line. But
outbursts of well considered argument
and facts from such eminent sourses as
these above cited, and backed by such
large constituencies, are almost equal to
a third party nomination, and cannot
fail of potential effect. In this county,
which furnishes one-tenth the vote OF
the Empire State, and which, two
Argus, gave Mr.. Tilden over one-third
of his majority, or over Il, 600, the vote
bids fair to be about that which is pre-
dicted by Mr.. Mclean, in Ohio. The
non prosecution of ring robbers by the
Governor in city which has spent
over $4,000, 900 year and has had
forced upon her over S42, 100000 of in
|debtedness, whilelthe ring chieftains,
who are responsible for the robbery and
missgovernment, were Governor Til
den's chosen delegates to the National
Convention, has caused a revolution in
public sentiment which is well nigh
universal. Under the teachings of an
independent newspaper, the voters of
Brooklyn are accustomed to vote intel.
ligently. Two years ago they gave
$1,000 majority one way. Last year
they gave 200 majority the other way.
Aside from a few politicians and par
tisans they are all inquiring how they
can vote against their spectators of the
ring. When they thoroughly under
stand, as most do now, and as all will
before the canvass is closed, that the
Brooklyn ring are Tilden's supporters,
they will take crack at the ring and
let Mr.. Tilden skin his own snakes.
The first month does not open auspici-
ously for Mr.. Tilden and his hackers.

THE Democratic papers are printing
the following paragraph:

Lille OouOcrdtic papers are prllLlns
the following paragraph:
During the war of the rebellion Gov
ernor Tilden armed and equipped, by
money taken from his own private
purse, four companies of New York
volunteer soldiers.
The New York Times shows that
this is lie out of the whole cloth
Tilden never armed and equipped q
single soldier, He was never known
to do anything to help on the war
either by assisting the soldiers them.
selves or by ministering to their fam.
lilies during their absence or after their
deaths. On the contrary, he is known
to have refused assistance on many oc.
casions. For example the following
csse, which the Times says is "well.
authenticated, is cited:
Early in the war young man of ex.
cellent family and superior character
and attainmentsswas desirous o. raising
a company. He waited upon Mr.. Til.
den, with whom he had an acquaint-
ance, and asked him to give him a let
ter of recommendation to certain State
officials. Mr.. Tilden's reply was in
substance as follows: "Young man,
you need not come to me for any such
letter of recommendation this war is a
perfect outrage, and / will lend no as
sistance whatever to its prosecution"

OF the Real Estate Pool Committee,
and Whitman, chairman of the Naval
Committee, favoring immediate action,
while majority of the other members
less impetuOus and more vulnerable to
public opinion, hesitate to take step
which they know will eventuate in a
thorough ventilation of venomously
partisan spirit that has dominated
every proceeding during seven
months investigation. Hence they
advise, referring all the testimony to
the Judiciary Committee for an opinion
as to the Secretary's liability to i'm
peachment. A report from an exam
ination of the evidence, could not be
reached until after the November elec-
ton; and by that means they could Sc
cure whatever advantages might accrue
to their party from holding in doubt
the innocence of the accused. 1t is not
pretended that the Secretary has been
guilty of anything more than tech
nical transgression, or that the Govern
ment has lost to the extent of one
cent. But then the great confederate
Democratic heart of the country was
made glad at the opening of the ses-
sion by occurrences that he should be
impeached, and it would never do to
depress the action of that organ at this
stage of the canvass. 1t must be fixed
somehow, and nothing will do it so ef-
fectually as showing up the corruptions
of the minions of the "Grant despOt-
ism" or crafty its gentle promptings
SO speedily as their conviction or an in
diligence in Hamburg ratification of
the st. Louis nomination, During all
the discussions of the latter affair in the
House, although the character of Ku-
Klux Butler, was generally endorsed
by Southern members, yet no member
from the North or South made himself
so abhorred by the atrocity of his sem
timents towards the Negro, and by his
servile submission to the Democratic
cut-throats of the South, as Cox. Even
the Southern members regarded his
subserviency with i'll conceded con-
tempt; and Representative Townsend
drove him into silence by the sting of
ridicule and his righteous denuncia-
tions.

Mr.. Tilden, you know what this con.
trast attests. Right we'll do you com.

tiOns. There are not twelve thousand
legal voters living in these wards to.
day, though they gave Hoffman IL, AS
majority. Had the day been of aver.
age length it would doubtless have
been swelled to at least 10000. There
was nothing but time needed to make
it 100000, if so many had been wanted
and paid for.
Now, Mr.. Tilden, I call on you to put
stop to this business. You have but
to walk into the sherifTs, the mayors,
and the supervisors Office in the City
Hall Park, and say that there must be
no more of it-say it so that there shall
be no doubt that you mean it-and we
shall havea tolerably fair election once
more. Probably good part of the
so, 900 supplied last fall with bogus nat
uralization certificates will offer to reg
lister and to vote, some of them pre-
tending not to know that they are no
more citizens of the United States than
the King OF Dahomey is-but very few
will vote repeatedly unless paid for it,
and we shall not be cheated more than
10000 if you simply tell the boss work
men that there must be no more illegal
voting instigated and paid for.
VIII you do it Your reputation is
at stake. The cowardly craft which
''Would not play false, and yet would wrong
ly win"
will not avail. If we Republicans are
sWinGled again as we were swindled
last fall, you, and such as you, will be
responsible to God and man for the out
rage.
Prosecutors, magistrates, municipal
authorities are all in the pool. We
have no hope from the ministers of JUS
tice, and the villains have no fear Of the
terrors of the law. l appeal to you,

WASHINGTON, D. c., July %, 1876.
Although several of the appropria-
ton bills which have been a bone of
contention have been agreed to by the
committees; progress upon the others
is very slow and altogether discour-
aging. Five yet remain to be COM
promised, and very little advance to-
ward an agreement has been made for
several days. -Four of these are in the
hands of Conference Committees, and
the other-the river and harbor bill-is
still pending in the Senate.
| Democratic retrenchment deprives
US after to-day of the fast mail service,
in common with thousands of other
localities all over the country, where
its advantages and convenience has Sc
cured to the Post-office authorities the
hearty approval Of scores of thousands
irrespective of party affiliations.
In this city, where the great benefit
to the Government that has accrued
from an examination of the rebel
archives in connection with Southern
claims, is known, the delusive charaC-
ter of these pretenses of reform and re-
trenchment is thoroughly appreciated.
1t is safe to say that millions of dollars
have been spent in this way during the
past ten years; yet the trivial appro-
priation of a few thousand to continue
the work has been stricken out by our
Democratic reiOrmer5. The silver bill,
recently passed, appears to be inopera
tive from the same indiscriminate cut !
ting-down mania, no provision having
been made for coming the 1000, 600
in silver authorized by that act.
The altitude that Hendricks has as
sumed relative to the repeal of the
Resumption act threatens to rend the
Bourbon organization in twain. 1t is
reported here, and not contradicted,
that two prominent Democratic officials
from indiana are in town, under Hen
dricks' orders, threatening that if the
House majority does not vote to repeal
the obnoxious act, he will withdraw
from the ticket. This is generally be-
l5eved; and the failure of Tilden to put
out his letter of acceptance and the un-
termination of the recent
conference at Albany are cited as con-
firming these views. The Democratic
of the Banking and Currency
have thus far evaded vote
on the proposition, it being understood
that the inflationists are in minority;
but from the menacing position taken
by many of the Western Representa-
tiyes it would seem tint The issue could
not be much longer delayed. Rum or

which goes to prove that Tilden advis.
