ed from New York O few days since,
where he had been on business con-
nected with the committee, an d re-
ports that the Information received
from the great West is entirely sat
isfactory, and that the Democracy
has no show whatever in that section
including the Pacific States. In
New York Hayes prospects are
Frightening every day, and there is
no longer q reasonable doubt but
what that State will give a fair ma.
'jority for the whole Republican tick
let in November. Tho disadvantages
under which the Democracy OF New
York are laboring, under the leader
ship of Tilden. who has succeeded
in fostering two renegades upon the
gubernatorial ticket, is being sorely
felt throughout the State. The
greatest dissatisfaction prevails in
regard to the State ticket, and very
bitter feeling is engendered against
Mr.. Tilden for debating their nomi-
nations. So great is tho feeling that
many prominent Dem ocrats are in
open hostility to that portion of the
Sta to ticket, and the consequence is
the party is pretty generally demor-
allied and their chances Of success
are greatly diminished. Tilden is
great demagogue aud rules the par.
ty with absolute power, and in at
tempting to run it in his own intor>
terest he has committed q fatal error
which will cost him the State in No
vember. Mr.. Tilden's blunders in ma
nipulating the State conventions,
together with tho facts that have late
ly been made public, in regard to his
revenue taxes and other important
matters, has driven him from large
support that would otherwise have
been given him, and to-day ho is
more unpopular with his party in his
own State than in any other State in
the Union. New York may be safe-
ly classod among the Republican
States.
The Democratic chivdry Of the
South are still rampant, and an
nounce their determination to carry
the "United" South ut all hazards,
for Tilden aud Hendricks. The
Charleston (South Carolina) Courier
speaking OF tho late disturbance in
that City, in which several colored
Republicans were murdered, heaps
it all upon the Republicans, and says
"they must be held to stern and
swift account by the community,
whose bitter foe they are" "Stern
and swift account means bullet and
knife Us South Carolina Republicans
have reason to know. Tho Bain-
bridge (Ga) Democrat prints "A
warning" to the detected minions of
the | Republican party, and says, ''if
they 10 not wish to bring down ven.
gean0e terrible upon their heads
they ill withdraw from the South
and pd unit White Democrats TO pur.
sue thdl v plans unmolested.' The
Petersburg (Vao 1Ppe,A in speak
ing of cdttain Republicans says:
''Thesost are the missionaries Of
mischief, AZ whose bosoms the peo-
pie OF the SApth should strike If any
disorder is foAced upon them at the
polls" "TheyN will be the men to
suffer- it ads, "and the habit of
furnishing them might rs well he
begun Mt an early rs Mt late day.
These extracts reflect tho senti-
ments of the Southern Democratic
press, which aro hardly reconcilable
with Mr.. Lords ''fair election reso-
luton offered in the House Just be-
fore adjournment. Consistency, how
ever, does not enter very largely into
Democratic tactics either in tho
North or South, notwithstanding it
is said to be jewell
% IL is o most encouraging fact that
business prospects nre looking up
In New York, We are informed very
decided improvement in sales has
commenced, and that merchants from
tho interior are purchasing more
libefally, an l that generally reyiv-
al Of business and happy return to
prosperity are unmistakably indicat-
ed, We trust the report is well
founded. 1
After long incubation, we have
what purports to be reply to the
charges preferred by tho, New York
Times against Samuel j. Tilden, re-
lating to his false income return in
1862, This answer does not come
directly from the accused, but is the
work Of the cunning brain and ready
pen Of Judge James p. Sinnott, who
was his law clerk in 1862 and prior
years The 6.ct Of Tilden 9 selecting
q deputy or agent to draw up and
publish q defense is in keeping with
his character as an artful dodger,
who would not DO made personally
responsible for sdding hlsasood TO-
fraud. .IiTiI .eal8ZlB2 ,uHi
