T1LDEN MAKES THE CHARGES
And Grant Prove Them.

From n ". Y. 7ri6uac Editorial, JuiyL
What more could Gov. Tilden ask Pres.
ident Grant to do, at the moment the for
mer was making his arraignment Of the
party in power for its corrupt use of au.
thority, than to accentuate the indictment
by the peremptory removal from Office OF
such an energetic and faithful public serv
ant as MIR. ii. Il. Yaryan Of the internal
revenue department? Mr.. Yaryan has
been one OF the most efficient of the spe,
cial agents of the department in ferreting
out frauds upon the government and pros
ecutng the offenders. OF course he has
made enemies by his jealous discharge
OF duty, and from them came the demand
for his removal. The president complied,
and MIR. Yaryan goes out leaving the way
open for the commission of frauds which
be has been largely instrumental in pun
ishng and preventing. Such an act at
such a tune as this is not without signi-
canoe, and such significance too as the
friends of Tilden and the opponents of the
Republican party will not be slow to turn
TO their own profit. Precisely what the
opponents of the Republican party charge
upon 1t, and 1t is struggling to escape the

Popularity of Tilden and Hendricks.

HAMLET, July 3rd, 1876.
The nominations at st. Louis have given
more than satisfaction, for they have ere
ated an enthusiasm and awakened degree
of interest which, if the locality be taken
as a criterion, argues well for the success
of the ticket in November next And as
the Democracy are hopeful and jubilant,
the Republicans are correspondingly down
in the mouth. They are free to confess
that it is one Of the strongest tickets ever
placed in the field by any party, and the
domineering, braggadOcia spirit hitherto
characterizing the average Radical has de-
parted from them, and in its place less
buoyant tone that does not smack so much
of certainty Right in this immediate To-
cality | can count already a score of men
who have been voting with the Republican
party in the past, that have signifed their
intention of supporting Tilden and Hend
ricks. This detection in the Republican
party, this early, is so general and marked
that it promises to become epidemic.
With two such conSpicuously superior
candidates as we have, and with the battle
cry of Reform, if victory does not perch
upon our banner next fall, then | confess
my inability to read " the hand writing on
the wall. D."
Uncle" John Hartman, of the Hart
man House, intends raising a monster
hickory pole in honor of the Democratic
nominees, Tilden and Hendricks, just a.
soon as the campaign opens. The occasion

day the past week, consequently the corr
is not as forward as it should be at thi:
time of the year. Potatoes look fine, bu
