Grave Charges Against MIR. Til
Icn

We copy an article from the New YORK
Times which contains grave charges
aoaint Samuel j. Tilden. The charges
are, briefly that he defrauded the govern
ment in the matter of income tax, ana IS
also guilty of perjury.
1t appears, according to the statement
made by the Times. that for the ten years
from 1862 to 1872 the average annual in
come of Mr.. Tilden was certainly not less
than so, 900: that during the same period
he paid 4 tax on an average annual ln-
come OF only $4,000. and that. therefore,
making a liberal deduction for expenses
etc, he must be indebted to the govern
ment for the unpaid tax on at least quar-
ter of a million of dollars.
TO this is added a specifi; charge of
perjury, which is sustained by ii compar-
ison between two ailidavits daily sworn to
by Mr.. Tilden.
The first was made on Dec. 26, 1868.
when Mr.. Tilden stated under oath that
his net income, from all sources, for the
year 1862, amounted to S7.llS. The
second was made few weeks ago, when
Mr.. Tilden swore to the receipt in the
same year-1s62-of $4,000 rs counsel
fees for services rendered to the bond
holders and receivers of the st. Louis,
Alton and Terre Haute Railroad. 1t is
shown, first, that there was presumption
amounting to certainty that these fees
did not represent the whole professional
income of Mr. Tilden for the year 1862;
second. that he received in that year an
income from interest on bonds and in
ves,ments which could hardly have been
less than the amount he stated for 1868,
viz. Sl3, ,000 and third, that the sum
which he could lawfully deduct from his
taxable income of 1862 could not well be
greater than the sum sworn to in 1868,
viz S6.552 1t is, therefore, obvious,
SAYS the Times, ''ihat the income on which
Mr.. Tilden was lawfully bound to pay
tax in 1862 must have been very consid
erably over forty thousand dollars. But
tdklng tnat eAtIttueiy Hiouciale cotiiIiato
OF his ret gains. profits. etc. for that year.
it is equally plain that he must have de-
frauded the government out of the tax on
49,, 900, and that he must have accomp-
lished that fraud by means of deliberate
perjury
The Times challenges denial of its ac
cusations, invites prosecution if any one
dares to undertake it, and suggests that
"an opportunity should be afforded Mr..
Tilden to vndicate himself by putting him
on the witness stand, and so answering
at the same time the question of the peo
pie. "Is he perjurers9" and the question
of the government, "lias he delrauded
the Treasury ?''

democrats. They seem to be straining every
nerve to consolidate the voters of the country in
to the old time divisions, although it is plain that
if they are so consolidated the democratic canvass
is hopeless one.

The Democratic candidate for Governor
of Illinois is more troublesome than Hen
drck's mule claim. He refuses to accept
their nomination until he feels disposed to
do so, saying he has right to think of it
as long as Gov. Tilden did. He also re-
fuses to say whether he shall support Til
den or Cooper, or whether he shall stand
on the hard money or soft money platform.
The Chicago Times stirs him up with
the pleasant remark that "if he is not a
political knave he will not try to skulk.

has discovered why Tilden never married.

THE Ohio River Railroad,

The Huntington advertiser informs us
that the Ohio River railroad is projected to
run to the mouth OF Symmcs's creek, on the
Ohio, which is opposite Huntington. With
regard to several names mentioned in the
Cincinnati papers in connection with
this railroad, the advertiser states that
60 california is about tiyes miles above
Cincinnati, on the river; that " Nine-Mile"
is at Nine-mile bar, about the same distance
above Cincinnati; and it supposes that the
Richmond" spoken of is New Richmond,
which is twenty miles above Cincinnati.
This town is not down upon the map. We
understand that the Ohio River road proper
is not to go to New Richmond, but that it
is designed to make short branch to that
town, where there is mine Of coal
of the river coal, which exists generally in
narrow strata, and the quality Of which we
believe resembles very much the coal from
the Deep-Kun pits OF Henricc. A.. L.
The interesting point in the information
is that the River road will have its terminus
opposite Huntington. To give it entire
success bridge must be built there. But
how much better it would be to build one
at Portsmouth, and, in conjunction with
other parties, continue their railroad up the
river to Catletsburg or Huntington. This
change of plan, however, would render
necessary change Of gauge. A rail-
road on the south side of the Ohio to con-
meet with the Chesapeake and Ohio road
and to serye,a the medium of transporta-
ton for Portsmouth and Ashland and
many other towns, together with northern
Kentucky, will have to be broad gauge.
There must be no break Of gauge on that
line. It is q matter for the projectors Of
this road. We suppose they understand
their business.

and thinking persons, they have over
