BOSTON POLICE OFFICER.

H. STEVENS:
Dear sr-FIom exposure took sick about nine
years ago with Rheumatic Fever, from which / suf-
fered about four months. Wheh recovered from the
fever found myself suffering with pain in my side
and constipation, which brought on the piles con-
suited physician, and paid him over 5000 for at
tending me, and all the while was gradually grow
ing worse Then one physician after another was
employed until seven of the best physicians of Bos-
ton had taken my case in hand.
On consultation between several of the leading ply
sicians, they concluded my complaint was asthma
aud general debility had great difficulty in breath
ing, and an inhaler was required to afford me breath.
Through the treatment. of one physician took from
70 to 100 boxes of calomel pills, and faithfully tried
all the medicine that each physician prescribed.
From my long sickness, and the vast amount of med
icine used to overcome the great pain, my kidneys
became badly affected, and suffered excruciating
pain in the small OF my back with great difficulty in
passing my urine.
One physician said I was diseased all through my
hope for health. My suffering from indigestion was
great that it was impossible to keep any solid food
on my stomach, and the whole nature of my food was
broth from oatmeal.
also took prescription from celebrated Eng
lsh physician who said my trouble was Bronchitis
and Dyspepsia. took eighteen bottles of medicine
great deal of medicine from apothecares' prescrip-
tion. :. have taken Sarsaparilla until you could
count the bottles by the dozen, and indeed have
given nearly all the popular advertised medicine q
fafr trial. had dreadful cough, and did not aver
age over two hours sleep night for years.
brother policeman = urged me to try Vegetine, but
couraged from taking so much medicine without any
benefit; however, after urgent persuasion conclud-
ed to try it, and before had used one bottle could
eat and hold on my stomach beefsteak, a thing
had not been able to do before for years; indeed,
obtained substantial benefit from the first bot
tie of Vegetne than from all other medicines which
had taken. I kept on improving, and kept
ing the Vegetne, until was perfectly cured and able
to do duty all day, eat and digest my food, sleep well
at night, and am now 40 pounds heavier than ever
was before in my life. and am, as lhnk, a living
contradiction of the prophecies of the most learned
medical talent of New England, for with all their
combined wisdom they could not accomplish SO much
that simple vegetable medicine called Vegetine to
which am indebted for health, life, and happiness,

The Salf.COnYicfed Candidate.

The charges that Gov. Tilden defrauded
the interval revenue by returning false in
come and the proof that he did so by his
own sworn statement, is creating a thorough
sensation all over the country. The editor
of the Democratic German paper in New
York, Mr.. Ottendorder Gays that if Mr..
Tilden cannot give satisfactory explana-
tion, he is certainly not fit candidate for
the Presidency.
1t is said that Gov. Tilden was disposed
to let this charge go by and ''pay no atten-
ton to it'' as he has all others, evidently
relying upon his corruption fund and
astuteness as manager TO secure his election.
But an explanation has been made which is
credited to Mr.. Tilden's private secretary.
This is the way he accounts for the Govern
or's swearing to taxable income of only
$1,000 in the same year in which, in answer
to certain railroad proceedings, he now ad-
mits receiving single fee of $4,000:
lawyer might work for a long time before he got
his fee, and a conscientious man would of course
consider the work he had done from year to year
as case progressed and that the fee, though re-
ceved in one year, not his income for that year
it had been, in fact, earned each year during the
progress of the case. That was all there was about
the matter.
In connection with the history of the rail-
road transaction and Mr.. Tilden's affidayits
made in 1868 aud 1876, which are given
elsewhere, the candid reader will conclude
that such an explanation whether made by
Mr.. Tilden or Mr.. Tilden's private secretary,
is no explanation at all. Of this so called ex-
PLANTATION the New York Tribune which has
denounced the "partisan raids" upon Gov.
Tilden. says:
We have believed Gov. Tilden thoroughly honest
man, and have witnessed the ridiculous oyerhaulng
OF old railroad transactions in which he counsel
in the effort to prove him personally dishonest with
feeling OF hearty disgust. But beg to say to the
Governors Private Secretary that the above ex-
PLANTATION of the extraordinary statements about his
income tax is too thin. That sort of logic Is merely
plea for universal dishonesty. 1t would enable the
richest man in the country to cipher down his income
in any particular year below the possibility OF Gov
ernment taxation. The Private Secretary, and the
astute gentleman who keeps the Private Secretary,
ought to understand that this is mere trifng with
business, which little more handling Of that sort
may easily make very serious. 1t is the first thing
which has really touched Gov. Tldens character for
integrity Ifthe facts have been correctly reported
and we do not understand the Private Secretary to
deny themthis does touch it-seems to touch it vi
tally-and the Private Secretary's explanation does
not amend the matter.
Mr.. Tilden is what would be called s'awe-
fully smart" but the smartest get caught il
the course of time. If man is sham and
cheat and Pecksniff, his real character
will come out and come out, too, by his own
attemnts to conceal one crime with another

TEXAS has legislature which does
not contain half dozen Republican mem
berrs. Some time since we published an ex-
tract setting forth the extravaganza of that
body and the fact that it had seized upon the
school funds set apart by its Republican
predecessors and used the same for their cor
rupt schemes, and had also issued bonds to
meet the current expenses of the State gov
ernment which have been enormously in
creased under Democratic rule. We now
clip the following from. the Houston Age, a
Democratic paper respecting the lawlessness
which disgraces the State:
Nothing can be more humiating to the good sense
OF the people of Texas to the manhood of the State
than the weak and disgusting vacillation Of the Leg
isature upon the question of suppressing crime and
lawlessness For weeks they have been debating and
filling the halls Of power with the most senseess
twadde while the sxshooter of the assassin is be-
ing heard all over the State. Men are being shot
down, and the young, tender girls of homes are
being hung up to trees like dogs and their beautiful
forms left to rot in the mud Of the creeks there to
serve as feastS for the buZZardS of the air.
