SPECIAL To THE PIooHE DAILY REcoRD
By WESTERN UNION LINE.
EASTERN DISPATCHES.

NEW YORK. August 5.-Tilden and
Hendricks letters of accep.a nee appear
10 to-day's journals.
The Tribune says of Tilden's letter:
His main points are reform in public eI-
penditures, the condition of the South,
resumption and civil service reform. 1t
would be idle TO deny that on these points
his positions are for the most part strong
ly and ably sustained with much that be
says under each head, large majority
OF his political opponents will agree. His
remarks on the necessity of all the re-
forms referred to, will meet with univer-
sal approval. Hendricks letter, on the
contrary, is classed by the Tribune as
narrow offensive party document.
The Times compares Tilden's letter
with that of Hayes unfavorably to the
former.
The World praises the letter heartily
for its vigor, straightforwardness prac-
ticable and unaffected tone.
The Herald thinks both are able and
discreet documents, though the country
will regret that they have no condem-
nation for the Hamburg massacre.
CHICAGO, Aug 5.--The lines says of
Tilden's letter, it is in temper, breath
and tone, far out of the style of docu-
ments Of its class and will give his
country clearer insight into the candi-
date, than all the partisan press OF the
land from now until election. As a
campaign production, the letter presents
all the issues with cogency of argu-
ment, compactness of statement, and
brilliancy of illustration, which take it
far out of the literature of its class and
stamps its author statesman.
New YORK, Aug. 5-The Evening Post
says Governor Tilden's letter of accept
ance is an able and carefully written docu-
ment, showing thattamiliarity with his
subject which comes of patient study
and large experience. The ends which
Governor Tilden keeps in view will be
everywhers agreed to; the difference will
occur upon the means by which he pro-
poses to secure those ends. The country
has been studying the Democratic party
since the political revolution in the
States in IA to put it partly into power.
The course of the party has not been
such as to encourage any more faith in it
than the country has paid for.
The last sixteen years it is doubtful
whether Governor Hendricks in attempt
ing to satisfy both parties has satisfied
either. His letter avows hearty desire
to return to specie payments; :the soft
money men, if they are honest, cannot
be satisfied with this; it favors an un-
conditional repeal of the resumption
pledge; the hard money men ought not
to be satisfied with this.

The SCHooLMAsTER ABRoAD.-Dr. Al
e1snier, our County School Superin-
tendent, handed US the following yester-
day afternoon. which We reproduce YER
batim:
School Supe, Lincoln county DEAR
Sir: Having followed the profession of
teaching for the eight years last past, I
obtain the highest salaries given here,
but would like to teach q school year in
Nevada, could you get me situation in
your counties? For the last three years
have been County School Superintend-
ent Examiner OF this CO., am reasonably
familiar with natural sciences, l.
mathematix and can teach the rudiments
of Latin, Greek and German. Yours
&c, Jos. S--r, Sarahsville, Noble, Co
Ohio" Doc. is willing to head sub
scription and buy bugle for said JOS
wherewith he can foot the untutored saw
age.
To THE PUBLrc.-Many of our citizens
are aware that Mr.. Conner has been con-
fined to his room for the last twenty two
months, with an extremely severe case
of rheumatism. He has done every thing
he could do for himself here, but moth
ing seems to help him. He is very aux-
ious to go to California. where he will
find some friends, and, hopes to be i'm
proved by the change of climate. As he
is entirely destitute, he asks some friends
to call upon the good people OF Pho che
for little assistance. For this purpose
a committee will go around next Mon
day, and as hard as times are, We hope
our citizens will feel able to appropr-
ate something to the relief Of one who
has been scarcely able to get out of bed
without the aid of his wife or some
friend for the last twenty-five months.
A WASHINGTON dispatch Of July 31st

vana died on Saturday, and early to-day
Charley Powell of San Francisco pre-

men, personally to President Grant, and
urgently urged his own appointment.
The President told him to get recon-
mendatiOn from Senator Jones. II pa
thence and perseverance will accomplish
it, Powell will get the Consulate and its
IS, 600 per year." Charley Powell was a
for mer resident of Lincoln county. hav-
been Indian Agent for the Maopa Indian
Reservation.
