TiIdcn and Hendricks Let
ter of Acceptancr-What
the Papers Say.

New YoRK, Aug. 5--The letters
OF acceptance of the Democratic cam
didates are the a~ll-absorbing topics
in political circles.
WHAT THE HERALD SAYS.
The Herald says they are direct
and able documents. The country
will regret that Gov. Tilden has not
a word of condemnation for the mas
sacres at Hamburger regret which
will be increased when it reads in the
letter of Hendricks an intimation
that strife between the races will on
ly cease as soon as the power of evil
is taken out of the hands of the re-
publicans. On the currency ques-
ton they are in accord. Ifanything
the expressions Of Hendricks are
stronger on this subject, being more
Ineligible. The clear and gratify-
ing fact, however, is that Tilden il
elected will, whether the resumption
act is repealed or not, use all the
power of his administration to Sc
cure resumption. The letters also
are accord on civil service reform;
but there is nothing in either letter
to prevent either Tilden or Hendricks
from removing all present incum-
bents of federal offices within thirty
days. Altogether the letters will
satisfy the country and strengthen
the Democratic canvass.
WHAT THE TIMES SAYS.
The Times accuses Tilden of dis
ingenious shutting in dealing with
the abuse Of the civil service. His
utterances are capable of as many
constructions as those Of the Delphic
oracle. His formula implies a clean
sweep Of ALL officers, however able or
faithful, to make way for Democratic
politicians. So far as the message
relates to finance and reform, it is a
mere rehash of his last message. On
the subject of the currency he has
nothing new to say. We defy any
one to frame in his own mind a clear
conception of the policy which Til
den processes to be able to make
greenbacks worth a dollar in gold.
WHAT THE WORLD SAYS
The World says the letters are one
in substance and spirit. Nothing is
said for effect. There are no false
professions. Everything is clear,
straightforward and practicable. The
views expressed on finance and on
Southern questions are admirable.
The hour of reform has come, and
here are the men to meet it.

WILKESBARRE, PA, August L.
Further developments concerning
the affairs of Ward Conyingham
show that his forgeries amount to
nearly a quarter Of a million Of dol
lars. He was a member of the firm
Of Broderick & Co., who operated in
coal and iron in this state, Virginia
and New Jersey. The forged paper
is mostly drawn in the name of
Broderick & Co., and is held by pri-
vate parties and banks in this city,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pottsville,
Allentown, Easton, Pittston, and
Plymouth.
He used the names of Charles Par
rish, w. l.. Conyngham, and G.. M.
Conyngham, members of his family,
as endorsers. 1t is said Conyngham
sustained heavy losses in stock spec
ulatious which were attempted to be
carried on in an extensive manner.
His whereabouts are unknown, al
though he is supposed to be in Can
ada.

After sitting bull.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The Iri-

Camp on the Yellow Stone, M. T.,
July 30, via Helena, M. T., Aug. 8.
The report that prisoners were taken
during Custer's fight on the Little
Big Horn, and afterward murdered,
is untrue. The men with Custer
all fell fighting calamity to the last.
The command moves to-day to-
ward the Rosebud Valley, which
is practicable for wagons. We will
give up this stream. Communica-
ton has been opened with Gen.
Crook. Trails are reported leading
from the Little Big Horn toward
the Rosebud.
TERRY GONE TO MEET CROOK.
CHICAGO, August A dispatch
from Gen. Terry received at Gen.
Sheridan's headquarters this morn
ing states that on the 2Sth of July
he would commence a movement
up the Rosebud with a view Of FORM
ing a junction with Gen. Crook. The
dispatch further states that news re-
ceived from every quarter indicates
that the Indians are breaking up in
to small war parties with a view Of
depredating border settlements; 9TH
ers are probably tired of war and
are seeking the agencies.

The Peabody Schools i'm the
South.

GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS, w. VA, August 1.-THE
Peabody trustees, in session here,
spent the entire day discussing DIR.
Sears report of last years work. The
report shows a general f1ourishing
condition Of public schools in the
southern States, except in Florida
and South Carolina and Louisiana.
Mr.. George Peabody Russell, of Eng
land, who spent his last winter in the
South, expressed the opinion that
nothing could be expected from these
states in the way Of advancing their
educational interest until their state
governments are changed.

$40, $50; North Carolina, $500;
South Carolina, $1,000; Georgia,
$3.50; FLORIDA, $500; Alabama,
So, 1900; Mississippi, $11, 800; LOUISE
ana, 81 1000; Texas, $4, $50; Arkansas,
So, 800; Tennessee, $14,6 800; West Vir-
ginia, $4,000.
WEST VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE
have received larger amounts than
than any other States, because they
have made more effort to foster and
promote a public system.

Hobbs Kerry. or Carey, one OF the
suspected train robbers, was taken
from Atterville to Boonville and
was sent to jail in default of 1000
bail. Bruce Younger, another of
those arrested, is still held at Soda
liza. Dispatches from there are o n
fiicting relative to the identification
of these men. Some of them say that
these men were clearly identified as
participants in the trail inbbery,
while others assert that neither OF
them have been identiilS.. it is
stated that an attempt will be made
to effect Bruce Younger's release to-
morrow on a writ OF lissD IS,

She SILVER CUES

The Conference silver bill, recently
passed by Congress, and which now
awaits only the signature Of the Presl-
dent to become law, authorizes the
purchase of $50, 600, 900 worth of silver
bullion to be coined at the mints and
issued 10y the Government IN exchange
for greenbacas. The press dispatches
to-day say that orders from bankers
and others for silver coin are pouring
in from all parts of the country, based
upon the suppositon that the bill will
be signed and take effect Immediately.
The coin heretofore authorized to be
issued in redemption of fractiona! cur
rency has Eeen paid out from the
Treasury as fast as il has been re-
ceived from the mints. 1t Is not sufti-
cient to meet the requirements OF the
country, and SIS, 900, 900 in fractional
currency has been issued to supply the
demand for change. The purchase of
$50 000,0 900 in silver bullion will have
q tendency to increase It's value, and
enable mining companies that are now
suspending operations to continue. 1t
will be temporary benefit to Nevada,
but the restoration of the silver dollar
to it's old standard would be perma
nent one.

Many applications from bankers has
been received at the Treasury Depart
ment for silver in exchange for L. s.
notes. based upon the impression that
the Silver Bill has become law. The
Secretary can under the provisions
of the silver bill make no regulations
for increase of payments, as the pres.
ent rate Of paying out silver will soon
exhaust the amount on hand, unless
the minis at once largely increase
the issue. The Treasury has resumed
fractional currency. Eighteen million
dollars have been paid out. The mints
at San Francisco and Carson City, are
steadily working now. but extreme hot
weather has interfered considerably
with the work at the Philadelphia
mint. As soon as the weather gets a
little cooler work there will be pushed
as fast as possible. The Silver Bill
provides for the issue Of 6fty million
dollars silver coin.
