The Argentine Crash.

It q . pity that We shOu.A hear
Of q financial crash In the Argen-
tine Republic at the very moment
when the ship carrying the arti-
cles Of her exhibition in our Cen
tennial, and about the safety Of
which much anxiety began TO, be
felt, hes safely srrived in New
York. The Joy Of our people in
welcoming the products Of the Ar
gentine nation is sadly dampened
by the telegrams officially rep0r.
ting at first the suspension Of
payment by the National Bank Of
Buenos Ayres, and afterward that
the Government had issued . de-
cree temporarily snspending the
redemption of this Provincial
Banks notes BY giving them legal
currency. The fact ID, that fnan-
cial trouble WAS experienced in La
Plata; and Argentine stocks heav.
ily fell on Saturday in the Europ-
can markets. We were rather pre-
pared fbr such an emergency, for
our lively sympathy toward our
Argentine friends did not prevent
us to write, some weeks ago, that
they Gh0uld look carefully into the
arrangement of their finances. We
said % just at thofiDe time when
the NxH and Times were publish

wealth, resources, and present

NEITHER Tilden nor any of his fol-
lowers have been able to remove the
fixed conviction in the public mind
that he made false return of his in
come in 1862, and continued for eight
years to defraud the Government out
of lis just dues. In speech made at
Xenia, Ohio, the other day, Senator
Blaine made the following reference to
this subject:
SIN the speeches l have made during
the campaign / have refrained from
any reference to the gigantic scandal in
in regard to Mr.. Tilden's unpaid in
come tax. have never been in the
habit of making attacks on personal
character in my political speeches,
though few men in public life have had
more provocation to do so. But hold
in my hand semi-official letter from
an officer in the Treasury Department,
wholly unsolicited by me, but especial
ly authorizing me to state publicly that,
from the best information possessed by
the department, Mr.. Tilden owes the
United States to-day from $3.50, 900 to
$3.50, 900, on account of unpaid income
tax, and this seni-official letter author
ICES me further to state that, by re-
cent decision of the Emitted States Cir
cult Court at Providence, Rhode
Island, it is believed the whole of this
vast sum. amounting to probably q
quarter of a million of dollars, can be
recovered for the benefit of the United
States Treasury. l have, of course, no
personal knowledge of the subject; but

thority in the United States"

He who can believe that the election
of a Democratic Administration would
be any step forward in reform, or
would make reform possible, has taken
leave of his senses. Let him look
where the Democratic party governs,
and see its character. Where is there
local government, firmly in the pos
session of the Democratic party, which
is not rotten with corruption? This is
so notorious and shameless that Demo
cratic organs do not pretend to deny it.
The government of New York City in
the hands of band of thieves, is the
perfection of government by the DEM
ocratic party. 1t has even taken its
candidate for President from one OF
that band, reformed for the occasion.
Even the party necessity to put re-
form mask on for this strategic cam
paign has not driven the party to nom
mate local candidates of any higher
character. In this county the Enquirer
has substantially declared that the
Democratic Convention was run by
bummers. In Chicago, the Times
which was coerced into the support o
Tilden, declares the candidates nomi
mated by the Democrats for the Legis
lature bummers and scalawags. Car
the head be made sound when the
whole body is corrupt?-Ciacinndt
Gazette.

very city msjorities are. But ii is none
the less an assault upon the first princi-
pies Of free government, il these ma
jorities are deprived of that freedom
of choice which the Constitution guar
antees to all alike. Yet this is ''the
Mississippi plan," which the Demo
traits openly boast is TO secure them a
solid South. They do not deny that
means are used which must be held ut
terly ineXcusable. When the employer
and landowner SAYS, "VOte as l bid,
or you shall not live upon my land,
my neighbors will not let you live
upon their land, none of US will en-
ploy you, and you and your children
shall starve," that is war against the
first principles of free government.
Yet it is not denied that these and SIM
liar means are used to coerce voters ;
the Democrats only deny, what over
wheiming evidence proves, that in
some quarters whipping, assassination,
and massacre are resOrted to when 9TH
er means fail. Be the methods what
they may, solid South means COM
plete denial to the colored voters OF
that freedom of choice which the Con
stitution guarantees to them as to all
other citizens.
What difference does.it make wheth-
er the Fifteenth Amendment ia nulli-
fed by States or practically defeated by
coercion with or without intimidation
and murder? In either case free gov
eminent does not exist and the su.
preme law of the land is defed. II is
time for the Southern Democrats to un-
derstand that neither the Fifteenth
Amendment nor any other part of the
Constitution can be nullified with i'm.
punity. The people of this country
added that amendment to the Consti-
tuition very deliberately because pro.
foundly convinced of IFS necessity.
They will not permit it TO be set aside,
whether by refusal of employment OF
by massacre. Because they understand
that solid South means defiance of the
Constitution and war upon free gov.
eminent, the answer will be a solid
North.-[N. Y. Tribune.

The Facts About Colorado.

Colorado is all right. We do not sup
pose many of our readers have been
foolish enough tc discredit the author
lied reports of the Associated Press,
none of whose agents could misrepre-
sent the facts without being discharged.
Yet the Democratic papers have SO per-
sistently lied, and SO boldly asserted
that their party has carried the State,
that some good people have felt uneasy,
and many blind Democratic partisans
have lost their money on bets. Our
dispatches this morning supply addi-
tional details, fully sustaining what we
have before published. We are also in,
formed by the Hon. r. NJ. White, OF
this city, who left Denver on Frinay
last, three days after the election, that
there is not the least doubt of the elec-
ton of the Republican candidate for
Governor, and of the Republican SUI
premacy in both branches of the Legis-
lature. The reports over which our
Democratic contemporaries are so jubi-
liant were circulated by the Kansas
City Times, which established branch
office in Denver with the design Of
hoIstering up Tilden's cause Gin.

AoSV RIDING TO the latest published
statistics of this years wheat crop in
r'p pgland, which show a deficiency of
nearly oDe-fourth the amount required
for home consumption, that country
VIII, for The fourth year in succession,
oe dependent upon the United State;
Tor the necessary supply from abroad.
Ii is estimated that about 1900. .OcO
quarters will be required, and it ap-
pears to be quite understood that this
amount can be obtained only at in
creased prices. This ought to be good
news to our farmers. 1t is a singular
fact that the land under wheat in the
United Kingdom this year has been
one-tifth less than in preceding years.
All the other crops aresmall, especially
oats and hay, and the former are al
ready bringing high prices. Potatoes,
also are very deficient in that country
and in Ireland, aud a great advance in
the retail prices of the commonest ne
cessaries of life will probably take
place this winter Pitts Com.

The Election News.

The results of the elections in Ohio
and Indiana on Tuesday, are in favor
of the cause of progress, patriotism and
good government. In Indiana the
Republicans, if they have not carried
their State ticket, they have achieved
a substantial victory and cut down the
Democratic majority of 1874, from H.
2j2, to almost nothing, and gained four
Congressman. Had the Democrats
carried Indiana by their old majority
they would simply be holding their
own and there would be nothing for
them 10 rejoice over; but they have lost
heavily in their chosen tower under the
leadership of their "favorite son." SO
that there is scarcely a glimmer of hope
for them in the November contest.
In Ohio the Republicans have done
fully as well as was expected, carrying
the State by from 1000 to 10000, and
gaining five Congressman. The vic
tory is really brillian. one which will
60 far towards deciding the Presiden-
tial iss1e. If we can judge from the
past history of elections in these two
States, there remains no chance for
"Tilden and Reform"
1t should be remembered that at the
State election, in 1872, Indiana went
largely Democratic, and Republican by
a very large majority at the Presiden-
tial election month later, so that there
Is even in the returns from that State
everything to indicate glorious Re-
publican success next month.
All that will be needed is a strong
pull, long pull, and pull all togeth-
er, and on the 7th of November, and the
Democratic party will be routed horse
and foot.

THERE is general and reasonable
disposition to be surprised that the
Indebtedness of some Of the Southern
States has been immensely increased
since the war. The evil is complained
of as carpet-bag innovation, a reck-
less system of plunder inaugurated by
adventures, and in the afflicted States
is regarded as wholly the result of the
revolution the war effected. This may
all be so, but it is a singular fact that
the increase of the debts of municipali-
ties, counties and other local govern
ment organizations in the Northern
States within few years shows nearly,
if not quite, as great aggregates as in
the South.
For instance, the indebtedness of
some of the Northern cities compares

NEW YORK. Oct, 6.
The New York Times of tomorrow
will publish the following letter:
AMERICAN ALLIANCE, }
NATIONAL EXECUTIVE CON-, Rooms,
New YORK, Oct, 6.
To the Editor of the Neao York Times :.
wish to correct some of the mis-
takes in the letter which was published
in the World, Sun, &C., on Wednes-
day, as coming from Gov. Hayes Sec
retary.
First-Governor Hayes never was a
member of the American Alliance.
Seeond-He never saw the Constitu-
ton or Bylaws of the organization.
Third-No Committee of this Order
ever, at any time, called on him either
at Columbus. Philadelphia or any other
place for any purpose. We simply
notified him by letter that we indorsed
his nomination. In answer to which
we received the letter from his Secre.
tary.
That letter was taken from my Office
and was as much surprised as anyone
can be to see it in print. am at a loss
to see why those papers should find any
fault with the proceedings, as we in
ldorsed Mr.. Tilden for Governor two
years ago, and he found no fault with
it, but, on the contrary, was very CRATE
full for the assistance, only he requested
that it might be kept secret, for if i
should become public he feared ht
might lose the foreign vote.
Respectfully yours,
GSigned LEMUEL S. TYLER,
Secretary of the American Alliance.
