OF THE ST. LOUIS coNyEN.

Ilere were the 0fcMtcCte anu Oc-
tenders of Belle Isle, Libby, Ander-
sonville and Salisbury, scenes of hor-
ror Of which the Modocs in their lava
fortress never dreamed of.
There were the Northern sympa-
thizers and doughfaces, who had
watched and waited over the border,
whose hearts and hopes were in the
South while their bodies were in the
North.
There were few Union soldiers,
who had carried their scanty laurels
to Confederate market, where decoy
signals were scarce and in large dc.
mand. :.
There was the sore-headed Repub-
lican, whose neglected claims for of.
flee had shaken his faith in civilization
and convinced him of the necessity for
reform.
In short, there were assembled the
molrners for slavery, the organizer
Of rebellion, the Ku. lllux and White
Liners, the Northern sympathizer and
doughface, the advocate of State
sovereignty, and the representative
of every element that had torn the
country with civil war, drenched il
with blood, and watered it with the
tears Of the widows and orphans.

lor of 66, a lifelong Democrat, and
has been for twenty years leader in
his party, and closely identified with
all of its most infamous measures.

The figures for the year 1876 are
not yet officially complete, but the
sum we have given is equal to the
whole receipts for the year. 1t will
be seen that Mr.. Tilden overstates the
amount of taxes collected since the
peace of 1866 by S453,OOOOQ0. Mr.
Tilden has complained that the Re
publican party refused to have the
Government live within its income,
and he represents the Government
during these eleven years of peace OF
living upon its capital. Let us see
what the Government has done with
this taxation or income:

has been paid from time to time, with

that year. In 1870 Chef Justice

Public Duty,

Although more than month has
passed since the people of the United
States elected Mr.. Tilden President, the
great conspirators at Washington have
succeeded IN manipulating the returns to
such an extent that the question is still
apparently undecided, and the whole
country is in an unnatural state of fever
ish excitement. Had the three southern
states which have been fraudulently
counted for Hayes really cast majority
of their votes tor the republican candi-
dates, the face Of the returns would have
undoubtedly shown that result long be-
fore the infamous decisions of the return
ing boards were announced; but it was
not unt.I che tame had actually come for
the electoral colleges to meet that the
republican arithmeticians succeeded in
figuring out an apparent majority. In
the meantime all the business interests
OF the country are paralyzed, and at the
beginning OF an inclement winter thous-
ands of working classes are out of en-
ployment and are suffering for the COM
mon necesssries of life. Until the presi-
Dental question is determined there can
be no hope of any revival in trade. AT
this time it is impossible to tell what q
day may bring forth. Inevitable bank
-uptcy Is starring hundreds III the face,
and serious financial difficulties must
overspresd the entire nation if the pre-
sent political complications are not
speedily settled. Certainly there is
enough wisdom and patriotism left in
the country to bring order out of this
chaos. The period has now arrived
when the independent press eff the coun-
try must cry halt to selfish partisans.
OF course, the mere party organs will
not be fonnd willing to engage in this
good work. They will contain to in
fame the public mind and add fuel to
the flames instead ofstrIving to calm the
angry passions of the hour. In this

A scrman For Parents.

From the Chicago Times.
People are beginning to realize that the
harvest is almost past and the summer
nearly ended and they have not yet
heard Messrs. Moody and Ssnkey. The
result was crush last night, which will
probably be repeated at each of the
services to be held. By q quarter of
eight o'clock last evenidg all the chairs
IN the Tabernacle were filed. and the
inquiry rooms had to be half emptied of
chairs to accommodate the multitude.
Over 5000 people were present, and
every door was besieged by large and
anxious throng doomed to dissppoint-
ment. 1t was all the police and the
door-keepers could do to prevent the
breaking in of all the doors. On the
south side of the building the crowd
forced in the outside door at one of the
entrances and pressed up TO the inside
door, and between the two several scores
ofpeople stood through the entire SER
vice. One man tried repeatedly to get
in by main force, and being fooled in
that he restored to subtiety. One Of his
stories was that he had an important dis
patch for Mr.. Moody, and another was
that his children had been suddenly
taken sick, and he wanted to get his wife
who was inside, to go home. But his in
genuity also failed him. Hundreds if
not thousands of people, many of whom
had come several miles, went home dis
gusted, while 1900 people went to Far
we'll hall, where the overflow meeting
was addressed by Mr.. Charles Ingliss.
The services at the Tabernacle were
opened several minutes befort 8 o'clock,
with:
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There's "a precious fountain,
Free TO all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary mountain.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr..
Carney. Mr.. Sankey sung "The
Ninety and Nine"
Brother Moody read part of the
niRth chapter of Mark, beginning at the
l4th verse. The congregation arose and
sung
l need Thee. every hour,
Most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like Thine SAsEs
Can peace afford.
Brother Moody gave out the notices,
and then Mr.. Sankey sung
l have Savior, He's pleading In glory
A dear loving Savior, though earth friends
be few,
And now he is watching in tenderness DER
And oh, that my Savior were your Savior
too!
