ssIT cannot be denied that never in
the history of free government were
there such shameless frauds as those
which destroyed the franchise in New
York, and gave this city and state to
Tweed and his gang
The above from the New York Her.
aid hits the nail squarely on the head,
but the story is incomplete without the
additional statement that at the time
when these frauds were committed,
Samuel j. Tilden, the present govern
Or of New York, and prominent can
didate for the democratic nomination
for President, was chairman of the
State Central Committee of that party
with headquarters in New York City,
and personally cognizant of all the out
RACES committed by the Tweed gang.
And it is for the expenditure of GER
tain monies in New York in exposing
those frauds by Commissioner Daven-
port, bringing their perpetrators to JUS
tice, and taking measures to prevent
their recurrence, that tremendous
howl has gone up from the Democra-
tie press, and Barney CaulGeld's COM
mlttee in Congress has for weeks been
trying to secure evidence duplicating
President Grant in some fearful crime
But their labors have all been in vain.
Their efforts to smirch the President
and make it appear that he transcribed
his powers under the law, have been
unsuccessful, and the further Caulfeld
prizes into the matter the more damag
ing becomes the exposure of the frauds
which were committed. 1t has been
found an Improbable mine for Demo
Gratis to work, and they are liable te
abandon it at any time.

Governor Tilden as a Presiden tial
Candidate.

The movement in behalf of Gov.
Tilden for the democratic nomination
for the presidency seems to be gain
ing strength. He will have good
send of in his own state where the
delegation is instructed for him. 1t
is understood, however, that nearly
half of the delegates secretly prefer
Elk Gov. Seymour, and will give Ill
den quosi support only, not wishing
to see him nominated. though on the
surface apparently favoring,him. Ill
den would stand no chance whatever
for the nomination we're it not that 1t
is claimed for him that New York is
lost to the democratic party with any
other candidate, and that without
New York the democrats cannot by
any possibility succeed In some
quarters this has been con strued as d
threat that if Tildep is not nominated
he and his friends vii do nothing for
the ticket, and butter an,mosltles have
been engendered IN consequence.
This would appear to be an lnjudicous
argument for Tllden's supporters to
use, provided the proper construction
has been given to it as above set forth.
There is also an unfrendly disposition
towards Tilden in Ohio and Pennsyi.
vania for it is claimed that those
states wore lost to the democrat last
year through the unfaithfulness Of
Tilden and his friends in New York.
There can be no doubt that Ex-Go
Allen, if he had carried OHIO then,
would have been u formidable candi-
date in the St. Louis Convention, and
Tilden very probably rejoiced to see
him defeated for it removed Allen
name from the list of candidates. and
Tilden may have thought his chances
were improved thereby, though it may
turn out that this was mistaken idea,
and that he will be hoist by his own
petard.
In Wisconsin,, there is growing
sentiment in favor of Tilden and he
will undoubtedly have the vote of its
delegation. Perry H. Smith, of Chi
cago, who is an active and influential
supporter of Tilden, and very shrewd
political manager, was in Milwaukee
not long since, manipulating men and
things in Tiden's interest. Mr..
Smiths acquaintance with the demo
cratic politicians of Wisconsin is ex-
tensive and has enabled him to serve
his friend Tilden faithfully and we'll
But in all probability he and his can
didate are doomed to disappointment.
Tilden will undoubtedly have major
ity in the convention, but the two
thirds rule will defeat him. Where
the nomination will fall no one can
tell, nor calculate with any degree of
certainty. AS in the case of Frank
Pierce, whose strength lay in the fact
that he was unknown to the conven-
ton, as he was to the country, and
had no ug ly record to confront him, it
is not unlikely that the St. Louis con-
vention may take for it's candidate
some person who has not yet been
named in connection with the office.

IT will be remembered that in ex-
Gov. Taylor's contingent fund account
a large amount was charged up as paid
for travelling expenses, when away from
home. In referring to the fact that
when called upon for an explanation by
the committee Investigating this crook
edness, the Ex-Governor testified that
be was not aware that the constitution
al amendment fixing the Governors
salary at $1,000, provided that that
sum should include ''all travelling and
other expenses incident to his duties
the Jefferson Banner says now call
on Fairchild and Ludington and see if
they know anything about that amend
ment." This being done, would it not
be we'll to inquire whether Gov. Tay-
lor's private secretary, himself law
yer, had any information as to this con-
stitutional provision?

In the case of Cornelius StowcrJ "

The case was as follows Cornelius
Stewart & Son leased thirty.twO boats
of the Morris Canal Company with the
understanding that they were to have
Il "drawback" Of fifty cents per ton
upon all freight catried by them for a
period of five years. For the first three
years the Stewarts we're allowed the
stipulated drawback, but at this time
the Morris Canal passed into the con
troll of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, by
lease; and the company refused longer
ID allow the drawback" except on
the thirty.two boats purchased Of the
canal company, In the spring IF 1873
the railroad company entered suit

Christmas Day,

Christmas Day,
In this borough, was very generally
kept by our people. Services were held
in the several churches, and all the stores
were closed, except the toy and candy
establishments, which latter seemed to
do good business. In the evening,
having occasion to go up town short
distance, we were astoIished at the
number of CHILDREN we met sJagger-
ing drunk upon our principal street.
In passing distance of less than two
squares we met at least 10 or ID
young. boys, varying from perhaps II
to 1S years of age, bearing unmistak-
able evidence that some person had
been supplying them with intoxicating
fluids. At what place they had been
furnished with the means of getting
drunk, we know not, but we do know
this, that whoever he be he deserves to
lose his license and be incarcerated in
our common prison. The fellow who
will deal out "poison" to young boys.
is not it to live in a civilized communi-
ty, If there is no other way Of pun
ishment for him the parents should
should take-we had almost said man
him out and administer severe
holsewhipping'

The Coal Trade.

The Coal Trade.
We have nothing important to add to
our last weekly report of the anthracite
coal trade. The Oversuppy of coal
that caused suspension of mining still
continues, and pretty much all business
connected wit h the trade continues now
as week ago. Prices have not been
advanced in consequence of suspension
nor is it probable that they will be du-
ring the present winter. There IS some
little mining OF Cuai in the Lehigh coal
region, and any prospect of material
reduction of the present output will
stimulate production, But at present
the coal trade is very quiet. The
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company on the 2!l ult., an
nounced the following as the prices of
coal delivered on board vessels at Polt
Richmond for the month Of January
White ash--Lump, S4J5; steamboat,
81 Co. broken, 81 -; egg, 50 Is; stove,
- 60; and chestnut, 81 As. Schuy kill

stove, - G5: chestnut, 81 10. Shano-
kin-egg, s. 40; stOye,:9 50; chestnut,
S4 80.
1t is now well established that there
will be at least partial suspension in
the Wyoming coal region, beginning
early in January. The great amount
of coal on hand with the continuance
of mild weather is one reason for it,
while another is the necessary annual
repairs to the mines. The suspension
viii, however, hot be IN )re than two or
three weeks and will not extend to the
individual operators of the valley. 1t
is their intention to push operations.
The miners are excited over u reported
reduction Of ten per cent. on their
wages, but there is no reason for it.
