Several persons have written TO us in
curing what Gov. TILDEN's religion Is;
and although the question has nothing to
10 with his present position ne a candidate
Tor President, we have repeatedly inform
ID our correspondents that he is a Presby-
berisn but here comes one who approaches
Me subject from different quarter. us
Gov. TILpEN." says this writer, "nberally
disposed In religious affairsf" We answer
mat we don't know, and don't think that
is OF any consequence.
We support Gov. TILDEN for President
because he has proved by acts that he sin
perely means to reform the Government; ;
because he has attacked aud overthrown
corrupt and powerful leaders OF his own
party, and because he has been wise
mough and strong enough here In the
State OF New York to obtain for the peo-
pie an immense reduction of their taxes.
Arc not these reasons sufficient What
Inference does 1t make whether he
, literally disposed in religious affairs
Of not, so long rs he has given such
evidence as we have now cited that he is
really statesman, that he is on the side
sf the people aud against their plumber
BIS, that he may be relied on to make war
upon corrupt men of his own party and of
Ill parties, and that he will not, like the
wretohed GRANT attempt TO cover up the
iniquities OF thieves and plunderers be-
sause they belong to his family or to his
sffical household. or are members OF his
Administration, rs SECoR Robertson,
DKLANo, BELKNAP, and WILLIAMS have

policy with our correspondent, most Of the

iate, attempt to injure the public conf

Nine he belonged TO an iron COM
pany which issued shinplasters, or
Mat fifteen or twenty years ago, when
TWEED was a Democratic politician in
good standing. Mr.. TILDEN corresponded
With him. What absurd nonsense
The question is whether Mr.. TnDEN Is
now the sort OF man that is needed to re-
form the Government. Here in New York
We have tried him for two years as Gov
srnor OF the State, and in that Office he
has done and said precisely what il was
necessary to have done and said in the
White House at Washington. This is rea-
BON enough for us, aud we think it will be
reason enough for intelligent people in
Svery part Of the country. The man who
has done his whole duty as Governor at
Albany in the way that Gov. TILDEN has
done 1t, may be relied upon for the more
important and more arduous duty which
has TO be done by the President at Wash
mgton.

The Chairman of the Republican Ma
tiOnal Committee.

Admirers of bone and sinew, OF hercule-
an proportions and the stature OF him OF
Gath, should have an enthusiastic apprecia-
ton for the AEAK of Michigan. whose dual
relation as Secretary Of the Interior aud
superintendent of the strategy of the
HAYES campaign illustrates the versatility
OF his gifts and the amplitude Of his ca
pacity.
With the innovations, we can hardly say
improvements, in our modes OF govern
ment, We may chronicle this polygamy
of office as most inspiring in its nov
city. Our former Presidents did not
SO impose the labors of administration
and the manipulation Of caucus and con-
vention, with the arduous duties of as
sessing the placemen and furnishing Sc
ductive porsuasions Of alimony in cash
payments to the unsophisticated voter
We are happy TO bear testimony to the
fitness OF the man to the place. In :" blood
letting" eminent, in sly bribery of ballots
unsurpassed, HAYES and WHEELER may
havofull confidence that CHANDELIERS work
will be well done in the future. To the re-
former the perspective Is not so eXhilarat-
ing. His anticipations are subdued II not
saddened; and there is also lurking fear
that the suit against one OF CHANDLER's
predecessors, JACOB THOMPSON, for bogus
and worthless bonds, may be something IN
termltted in energy, with tins new lmpo-
sition of conscientious duty.
Charity, unlike reform Of the civil SER
vice, begins at home. Punishment Of NAL
feasance in ONCE, through sharing the
profits of crooked whiskey, is an indignant
moral sentiment and an unreal presence, to
be seen dimly only through lens of large
magnifying power and long range But
1t 10 a happy augury with all who ask
and strive for purgation and renova-
ton in government, that Mr.. ZACHARIAH
CHANDLER Is Its prophet and precursor,

purposes Of the guiding Providence, but in

A Grea, plaerence Between Them.

Caldwell, o., July H.-lwo national
reunions are called, one at Cleveland, Sept o,
and another at Indianapolis Sept. 20. They are
exactly alike In Tespe that they are called
TOGETHER by eK- Federal soldlers, The point Of
difference Is simple. The Caldwell reunion,
though composed " Union soldiers by very
overwhelming majority, aud ninety-ninc-hun-
dredths Of them Republlca too, invite not only
Democrats and Republicans but ex-Confeder-
are excluded, and politicians Invited to Keep
away.
The Indianapolis reunion, on tho other hand,
10 called for publican Union soldiers only, and
to endorse General Hayes. The Caldwell re-
union may endorse Hayes, Tilden or Cooper, as
majority decide.
That is Inc point OF difference. They have no
antagonisms. The Boys In Blue call both attend
both, and manage both, only one Is political
reunion, while the other Is social and In tho in

ZAoHARIAH should be plying the sledge
hammer Of q forge or swinging the maui OF
rail- splitter IL would seem that party
arrogating to itself the brains, the culture,
and the patriotism of the country, should
nave at least in its representative man, tho
department and manners Of gentleman.
None have mourned CHANDELIERS loss to
the Senate; yet in his transfer to the Ex-
ecutive Council Of
or mimic statesmen and their merry KING"
he has the negative merit of being no worse
than the incumbent he succeeded.
10 such as are acquainted with the
secret mechanism OF party organization,
the elected head of the Administration,
unless Of Arm purpose and determined
will. has no power to shape the policy Of
his party. They who work the treadle
and the pulley are the masters, while the
nominal President rules, but does not gov
ern. What may be the attraction which
should bring men who are non-partsan TO
the support of candidate who does not
possess any strong individuality OF charac-
ter, Is not apparent.
Perhaps II may not be out of place, or
extraneous to the topic, to remark upon the
singular facility with which Senators inn
prove thoir schedules OF assets. With
heavy expenses of living in the capital,
there lie thrift Of increase In wealth
which is a marvel, II not miracle Now,
IL 10 one of the least of the reforms which
are demanded, that in our system OF gov
eminent the Senate should not be lucra-
tive In its perquisites. In the complicated
machinery of government, the position Of
our ex-senator and present Minister be-
comes of paramount Importance; and the
independent voter will ponder long before
prolonging the rule OF such cabal as
this. Who will underwrite for Gov. HAYES

edge that lying was necessary to the covering

According TO BLUFoRD WILSON, GRANT
discovered, last winter, that BABCocK had be-
trayed him In the Black Friday speculation
but he doesn't seem to have felt very bad about
It, for he still kept DABcocK in place and ansc-
ton. II Ia true he did not then turn out DRIs
TOW and WILSON, as he had intended TO do but
when afterwsrd he got q good opportunity he
sent them adrift without a" character" Why
should GRANT ind fault with BABCocK for go
ing into the Black Friday conspiracy with FISK
and GOULD, when he himself aud his brother
in-law CoRBIS were deep In III MIR. WILSON
says BABcoCK lost 10000 in tho transaction.
Mrs. GRANT got a check for S25 coo as her share
OF the p.onts. SO GRANT at least came out all
right.

Invitations TO Co Yachting.

In the light OF recent events, yachting, as
at present conducted, seems TO be rather
perilous amusement. 1t is likely" says
the Herald, which Ia accounted an au-
thority in such matters, that two-thirds Of
our yachts in the neighborhood of New
York are in the same condition as the
Mohawk was, and are exposed TO the
same dangers" We all know, now, what
the condition OF the Mohawk was, and to
what dangers she was exposed. II two
thirds of the yachts are in the same condi-
ton and exposed TO the same dangers, then
yachting is something quite different from
what il has been accounted to be. When
one is invited on q yachting excursion, IL
this be true, he is invited TO take his life in
his hand, and TO encounter greater perils
than he would in an expedition against the
Sioux Indians.
1t may be well for the owners Of yachts
in sending out invitations to their friends
hereafter to append to them notes some
thing like the following:
2 Captain competent. made stationary
g. Crew disciplined. q. Squalls fhunneu.
L. Bsllast secured. 4 Lifepre ,eryers on board
8. All the gentlemen board gallant and seltsacr.
ncing: this the only rcsemb ance to the Mohawk.
These suggestions would set the person
receiving the note to thinking, and per-
haps he might by such assurances, be in
duced to accept the invitation.
The man must be fool, and incapable OF
drawing a logical Inference, who does not see
that GRANT himself was directly or indirectly
interested in the Whlskey Rings. and In shield
log them from the consequences of exposure,
was also warding OF dancer irom his own doors
The testimony of BLUrORD WILSON goes to
further confirm the truth OF the charges The
SUN has made against GRANT for years past
The public gets renewed assurance that we 10
not assail Government officials at random, but
only when we have the facts behind us, and
duty to the people requires us to speak out.

len years ago, In the days OF ANDY JOHN

tcians met In Philadelphia, called Tho Arm

tion contained this declaration
The people OF the late rebeiious States having sur.
Ienucieu 10 tue national authority and having showa
ereadInes' to return In spirit In truth to the prin
Cples OF government put forth by common fathers
us our DUTY as brothers OF national family to for.
et the past and strive by true emulation to pepetuate

This call was signed by john A. DIX and
others and when thelConvention met Gen. DIX
was chosen Its President. Gen. DIX was then
In pursuit OF a fat Office and soon afteward he
got one at the hands Of ANDY JOHNSON.
For the second or third time In his long life,
Con. DIX Ia now destitute of an once; and be
wants one. Therefore, not liking TILDES, who
beat him $1,000 for Governor two years ago, ID TX
supports HAYES. Forgetting what he said in
the call for the Arm-in-Arm Convention, and
dreaming that the war Is still going on, Gen. DIX
has Issued a call for Convention Of Boys In
Blue, to meet at Indianapolis In septem Der
next, the purpose Of which is to foment strife.
When Gov. HAYES becomes President we sh all
expect to see him confer upon Gen. DIX. the
