SOMETHING FOR SOLDIERS TO READ.

The proofs of Gov. Tilden's disloyalty to
the Union in the dark days of the Rebellion
continue to accumulate with every day.
The reader knows how desperately and dex-
terously the Democratic leaders have strug.
gied to evade Tilden's responsibility for the
traitorous peace resolutions of 1864. But
there is no explanation or denial of the
Tweddle Hall speech possible. In the
democratic Convention held at Tweddle
Hall, Albany, on January 81 and February
l, 1861, Mr.. Tilden was q member of the
Tammany delegation. That delegation in
troduced. by unanimous uote, some resolu-
tions, of which this is one:
Reso,ued, That We will, by all legitimate
means, oPpose, discountenanee, and prereuf ann
dfempt on The part of the Republicans in pouer
10 make any armed aggression, under the Men of
enforcing the iors," or preserving the Tnion.h
upon the Southern States.
While the resolution was pending. Sam
Tilden, the Democratic Confederate cspdi-
date for President, made q speech in its sun.
port Among other thinss q He declared Iat
~ w. N'eS "NAu 'esfo- tNtJ uUy una Ou c1Tclnl-
soWes the use Of force to ooeroe the South rnto
The Union. First, because it would be inef.
fective, and next because it would lead to a
war OF determination among those who are
brethren-not BY the ties OF country alone. |
but of blood"
This is the report of the Albany atlas and
Argus, the official Democratic paper of the
State of New York. 1t is added that aMr
Iilden's speech was loudly applauded."
OF course it was, by that crowd.
1t is in order for Manton Marble 10 r;se
md explain these Copperhead remarks, or
o invent some cork-legged apology for
hem. Marble is trying to make people
'elieve that Tilden protested aaains, the
'eace-surrender platform which he helped
o draw at the Chicago Conveation on the
10Th OF August, 1864, but nobody has ever
cen the said protest in Tilden's hand writ
nR, nor do We believe that the man Who
|eclared in Tweedle Hall in 1861 ,h.t "be
Tould resist under any and all c;rcumstan- :
es" the coercion Of the South ever pro-
.sted against the peace-surrender platform
1864. The brassy Hewitt and the cum
ing Marble cannot remove the brand Of I
'aitor to the Union from Sam Tildenis ,
row.

TlLDEN AND BUCHANAN.

The New York Herald, Of last S turday
editorially compares Tilden with Buchan-
an, giving the superiority to the latter, un-
der whom it truly says: "The Democratic
party went down in ignominy and con.
tempt" 1t asks, "Does Mr.. Tilden. il he
is elected, mean to follow the example of
Buchanan This is the question that will
be asked again aud again by men who re-
member how Buchanan trimmed on seces-
sion, and who see how Tilden trims on the
national credit" This from the Herald
which advocates Democratic success under
Tilden is very good. But it gees further
and more to the vital point in admit
ting that: "ln the South all is going bold
ly-Alabama majorities, Hamburg mas
sacres, and the virtual condoning of these
massacres by public opinion, all make an
uneasy impression in the North. The party
throws away the State of South Carolina
by nominating Wade Hampton. 1t de-
clares war upon every Southern man.
like Mosehy and Longstreet, who does not
agree with them, and invokes canvass of
bitterness and hatred. The fact that not
one OF the Saint Louis convention was a
negro shows how utterly the Democrats
have failed to appreciate the wisdom of
conceding 10 all classes political equality.
As it now stands" says the Herald, "the
bFeezes which seem to wait the banners of
Hayes 10 victory. come from the South"

WHAT OUR SCHOOLS eosT.r

Under the above caption, communica-
ton appears in another column OF our issue
this morning, in reply to an editorial para
graph of yesterday. We take pleasure in
giving place to the communication, esPeci-
ally since it comes from such a responsible
source, and have no doubt that its state
ments are entirely correct; but We desire to
call attention to part Of the opening SEN
tence. Mr.. Taylor says: at has been the
policy of our school board, heretofore, not
to notice any OF the 'driyes" made at them
through the newspapers" This is literally
true. 1t is notable fact that
the policy OF our school board
has always been to sit back on its
dignity and treat the criticisms OF the press
with silent contempt. Newspapers repre-
sent the public, and but very few institu-
tions in this country have ever been able
to successfully defy public opinion, as many
stronger bodies than our school
board have demonstrated TO their
sorrow. Ne conscientious newspaper ever
makes a charge-or "drive," if you
please from a sense OF duty, and
when no attempt is made to answer the
charge, the public mind invariably settles
down into the conviction that it is true
silence is accepted by the public as plea
OF guilty. In our criticisms of the School
Beard, as OF all other institutions, We al
ways say what We believe to be true, and if
al any time we are mistaken, our columns
are always open TO the explanation of
those interested on TIE other side.

FOOD FOR TAXPAYERS.

The requisition Of the School Board
levies for taxes for their expenses the com.
ing year amounts to Sil,9l2-that is, five
mills for the amount of current expenses,
which on the assessed valuation amounts
to Sl9,i94. Five mills to pay interest en-
bonds (Sl9,49i,) and three-fourths of a
mill for sinking fund, amounts to s., 1924
with an increased levy of three-fourths of a
mill, or 1924 more than last year. The
whole expense OF the city government for
the year ending April 4th amounted to
S2l,S9S. The expenses for the current year
VIII be still further reduced The levy for
the city for general purposes this year is
Is only three mills, or SlI,696, on the
assessed valuation. While the City Council
have reduced the taxes seven and one
ourth mills, amounting to S2S, ,267, the
School Board have increased them 1924

party managers would have acted wisely

case the cause is much more serious, being
the fact that the candidate is a self-con-

WHAT OUR SCHOOLS COST.
LEAvnwoRTH, August 2s, 1876.

| LEANhnWORTH, August Is, 1876.
EDITOR TINES dislike very much the
idea OF appearing in our public journals
and as it has been the policy of our school
board, heretofore, not to notice any of the
drives" made at them through the news
papers OF our city, it may be perhaps con-
sidered out Of place for me, nearly one of
latest members elected, to assume to give
to the public sny defense iii it needs spy)
OF our present school management, bot,
believing that it is your desire to give the
facts in the case, desire the publication of
the subioined statement.
An article in your issue of the 18th inst.
headed "Food for Tax Payers" to those un-
acquainted with the management of our
schoels, it undoubtedly reflects severely on
the present managers, but by giving . more
detailed statement, as shown BY the accom-
paning figures, it will place your school
board in more favorable light before the
tax payers OF this city, and by documen-
tary facts remove the prejudices created BY
the mistatement In your article.
The assertion that there is an increase in
our school expenses for the year 1876, is an
srror, as the following, from the CITY
Ireasurer's books, will show: Total amount
received from the levy Of 1873, for general
purposes, S2i, ,225 5i total amour, received

DRY GO0Ds

In the New York dry goods market las,
thursday, one thousand cases of Richmond
prints were sold. The competition was an
mated throughout and the whole offering
was distributed in less than an hour, at
prices fuiiy up TO current market quota
hons. The average price realized was
seven cents. The result is considered as in
aicating healthy feeling among the
trade, and as foreshadowing also a readi-
mess to absorb other goods, later in the sea-
son. that may be thrown on the market on
the same conditions.
