The outlook for satisfactory investigation
in Louisiana by the Congressional Committees
is not so bright as it might be. The two Wis
iting committees set bad precedent in keep
ing up their partisan Tivalries when the need
of the hour was, above all things, little un-
selfish craftsmanship, and this precedent there
seems to be danger that the committees of the
two houses, which have higher authority
and grayer duty than the two delegations,
will follow. The Democratic Committee is al
ready hard at work, taking in Democratic testi-
mony by the cord. Democratic negroes, who talk
maryelousy like the good little boys iii books, re-
late how they have been very wickedas Repubf-
cans, but have made up their minds to be good,
and not to go to the Custom-house any more or
to any other places of vile resort and how much
they have suffered for the sake of their brand

FINED AND SENT TO JAIL.-Our dis.
patches announce that the Supreme
Court of South Carolina have fined
zach Of tho Board of Canvassers 81 500
and committed them to Jail, 10 remain
there until released by order Of that
Court. The Republican party mana.
gers over-stepped the mark when the
Canvassers were allowed to adjourn
sine die without paying any attention
to the mandate of the Supreme Court.
Such action is only additional evidence
OF the corruption Of that precious
body Of scalawags IN tn arting the

Court, the majority of which are Re-
%publicans, will meet with the indorse

cor TyLDEN,S INCOME TAX.


Did Gov. Tilden pay his taxes honestly dur
ing the war, or did he dishonesty evade part
Of his income tax from 1862 to 1871 inclu-
siveq We regret that there is, az yet, no an
syyer to this question from Gov. Tllden him
self We hope to see him meet 1t soon ana
make an end of it forever. For 1t Is not TO
the public interest that such charges can be
sustained, or can even become current, against u
pubic man, who has been trusted, and has stood
as q bulwark for honest citizens against public
robbery. If Mr.. Tilden can meet this question
fairly, those journals and persons by whom 1t
is treated fippaDtly do him grave injustice.
If the accusation is true, 1t Is one which VIII
injure and ought to iniure any candidate, but
il will mure Mr.. Tiden in very peculiar
degree. His strength lies in the fact that he
has exposed and prosecuted men who have
defrauded the public, ana it would be fatal to
him if it were established that he had been
enriching himself by defraudng the Govern
ment. He, of all men living at this time,
cannot afford to appear as one who
Compounds for sins they are inclined TO.
BY damnng those they have no mind to-
The accus atoms, it is but just to say, have
not yet been so established by proof as to ex-
cIu,ie the possibility of good defense. Mr..
Tildcn's sworn statement in the railroad case,
that he received from one road $4,000 III
the wear 1862, is cOntrasted with his sworn
return that his total income, subject to taxa
ton under the Excise law, was only $1llS.
That does not prove that he is "a perIurer,
as some assert, because there is possibility
that his expenses and losses properly deducted
IN that year were $12,SS2. Nor does his own
estimate of $6,552 for expenses, taxes, &c,
in the next year show that these did not
amount TO $12, $50 the year before. The fur
ther statement that in the following year he
returned an income of $4,000 from dvi-
dends does not prove that these investments
were productive at all in 1862. But there does
remain, if the facts are as stated, strong
probability that Mr.. Tilden's income was much
more in 1862 than the sum returned, and
much more during the years 1S64-7l in
elusive than the average of $4,000 upon
which it is stated he paid taxes including the
so per cent penalty, rather than make any
sworn return. During those years he was en-
ployed in some very large transactions, and,
it is believed, accumulated by his professional
success a wealth of millions. He had in 1862
other important practice besides the single case
in which fees of 100000 were paid.
Nevertheless, mere presumption ought not
to condemn o man whose honorable character

Such man is Theodore Thomas, who has
done more in the last ten years to raise the
standard of music than had been done i'll the
twenty preceding years. Mr.. Thomas has
never yet broken promise made to the pub
lic Through evil report and good report,
through success and failure, he has steadily
worked on to give us what was best and truest
and noblest in music.
Why not, then, raise fund, send MI.
Thomas to Europe to make the necessary ar
Engagements, and open in the FAD OF 1873, or
if possible of 1877, with grand operaf That
it would be good there can be no doubt.
Whatever might be the individual merits OF
his leading artists, he would never be satisfied
with anything short of the utmost excellence
in chorus and orchestra. Such an enterprise
would certainly pay. if opera can be made to
pay at all in this country. We venture then 10
suggest that lovers of music have in tins d.
rection an opportunity to render ines lcuiable
service to cause which is so dear to them.
Properly set on foot, the undertaking would
strike its roots deep and become permanent
and we should escape the danger which threat
ems us this year of having no opera at all.
