THE JEFF. just now is devoting most
of its space toward vilifying Gov. Til
den. On the first page we give some
opinions of what the Republican news
papers of his native State think of the
honest old Governor. But of course
this will not alter the course of our
Sandusky street contemporary
rjer
Considering the fact that neither of
the Democratic candidates have vet
signitied their acceptance of the nomi-
nation, perhaps it isn't exactly right to
tell so much truth about them. But
then, you know, neither OF them was
ever known to declipe il nomination,
aud SO we have to act just as though
We knew they had accepted. If they
should not accept, of course it would
be ammunition wasted, and we should
be in the position of the man who, in
anticipation of ''shuffling off this NOR
tai coil" set his house in order, sent
for his neighbor with whom he did not
agree very well, and "forgave and was
forgiven" Then he turned his face to
the WALL" composed his features,
Strengthened his limbs, and prepared
for his exit, when the thought struck
him that he might get we'll Turning
over again, he faced his old enemy and
remarked:
'Neighbor Jones, may get well;
and if do want it understood that |
take it all back"
So, if Tilden don't accept We want
it understood we take it all back. No
such word, however. Tilden will ac-
cept, but just now he is acting upon
the mastery inactivity" tactics of
Caius Marius. He cannot write let
ter of acceptance that will touch the
popular heart like that of Governor
Hayes, and he fears the criticism to
which he will be exposed even more
than the raking up of his rotten rail-
road transactions to defraud individu-
ais, or his iron currency swindle to de-
fraud the Government which he now
desires to reform ~

TOE THE MARK

The Courier will have it that we are
vilifying its candidate. Editorially we
have said but little of Tilden except to
refer the general reading to extracts
from Democratic papers which we have
published. If those extracts "villify"
Tilden, they only so to show what a
vile lot they all are. They are like the
bird which befouls its own nest. for
they befoul one another according to
their own confessions. But the truth
of history" will not permit us to allow
them to turn their batteries upon
themselves in that way. Those jour
mails did their best to destroy Tilden's
chances for the nomination, and to
succeed they raked up the court rec
ords, and exposed every transaction in
which lie had bad h"nn engaged that
would not bear Tie light. 70 call these
vile is perhaps well enough, and yet
they are actual facts, and demonstrate
what the character OF the iuan must be
who was engaged in such questionable
transactions
But now to the point, AIR. Courier;
give us a categorical answer to these
questions: Was not Samuel J. Tilden,
your candidate for President, sued by
MIR. Butler, Representative of the st.
Louis, Terre Haute and Alton Rrilroad
in order to recover from him $ 600, 900
fraudulently obtained from said COM
pany?
Has not Samuel Tilden, your can
didate for President, failed to file his
answer in the said case, and begged
for more time in which to do so?
Has not Judge Blatchford, of the U.
s. District Court, signed an order ex-
tending the time for him TO answer till
the October term of said Court?
Is not a suit to recover this money,
slill pending in the United States
Court, and has not Samuel J. Tilden,
yonr candidate for President failed to
make any defence?
Csn you vote for, or urge your peo-
pie to vote for, a man who stands
charged with fraudulently obtaining
81, 100000, and who has not or cannot
make a defense? That he has not
made defense is self evident; that he
cannot make defense is fairly deduc-
ible from the fact that he has already
had several extensions of time, instead
of meeting the charge manfully and
squarely.
Come, now, Mr.. Courier, the simple
denial of a statement is an easy matter,
but we will see whether you have the
hardihood to deny what is a matter of
record.
Let us add another query. Has not
the United States Court reviewed its
action in the matter W hin the past
week, and changed the time so as to
make the first Monday in August the
latest date for filing an answer?

as A SECESSIONIST

In 1860, when the country was i'll the
dark days of secession, Samuel ]. Til
den, now the Democratic candidate
for President, was engaged in prepar-
ing pamphlet to prove that the right
to coerce the States to remain in the
Union did not exist under the Consti-
tuition. In other words, the States
had no right to secede, but the Gov
ernment could not compel them to re-
main. This pamphlet was published in
October, 1860, and among its choice
arguments we copy the following which
may be regarded as a specimen brick:
'The masters of political science who
constructed our system preserved the
State governments as bulwarks for the
freedom of individuals and localities
against oppression from centralized
power. They recognized no right of
constitutional secession, Gut they left
resolution organized aOhe,l it should be
demanded by the public opinion Of q
State; left it Nth pO1Cer to snap the
tie Of confederation as a nation might
break q treaty, and to repeL coercion
as a nation might repeL inoaSion.
They caused us to depend, in great
measure, upon the public opinion of
the States in order to maintain a con-
federated union. They intended to
make it necessary for us, in every reas-
enable extent, to respect that public
opinion"
Of course the SoutlI-the confeder.
ate South-will GO for the man who is
so strong an exponent of their views,
but how the people of the Union, and
especially Union soldiers, can vote for
a man so antagonistic to the principles
for which they fought, is not so clear.

MILITARY STATISTICS

The Courier Journal would remark
to the Cincinnati Gazette, in reply to
its query concerning the army and the
Indian war, that the people of tie
South have no hatred toward the Gov
ernment of the United States. but they
have a thorough detestation of mis-.
government and the partisan applica-
ton of the powers at the disposal of
the Government. This republic was
not organized for the benefit of a few
States, but for the whole union of
States. and since in past years the peo-
pie OF the South have had thorough
demonstration of the nefarious uses to
which the Federal troops in the South
are put, and as the partisan use of the
army in the present campaign has been
boldly avowed 10y many of the organs
of the Republican party as a part of
the programme, it is perfectly reason
able for the Courier Journal to sug-
gest, in view of the urgent need Of
troops to fight the Indians, that a large

been ''one of the most admirable and
irreproachabIe Governors the State has
ever had" But the n. Y. Tribune is
not as well posted as the JEFF, for
the latter asserts that Tilden is all that
is corrupt and fraudulent. OF course
the JEFF. has better opportunities of
ascertaining the facts in the case than
the Tribune has Courier.
The Courier is more ardent admirer
of the New York Tribune than it used
to be when it sailed under different
colors. AT present it is a kind of ''good

did not take it as authority. We cop

.STYyND RY TILE DEMOERdHY

REFORM, REFORUtf AS UNDER
STOOD BY THE DEMOCRACY.
The Louisiana Democracy have had
a State Convention, and have entered
into the spirit Of reform, so powerfully
set forth and so frequently reiterated,
in the Democratic National Platform,
that they have nominated as their can
didate for Governor Gen. f. f. Mich
OILS, who was a Major-General in the
Confederate army, in which he lost an
arm and leg. Since the war he has
been very bitter against the North, and
has frequently remarked in public
speeches that he had nothing to ask OF
this government, and nothing to give
it. He would pay no Federal taxes or
any duties of any sort; because lie
owed the government no allegiance.
His political disabilities were removed
only on the 10th of June last, the ap-
plication being coupled with the re-
mark that his friends desired him to
run for Office, and he did not know but
that he might be of some service to his
State.
After receiving the nomination, at
Baton Rouge, the Confederate General
made a speech full of rebel sentiments
and strong denunciations of the gen
eral government. He did not know
there was a reporter present, but there
was, and his outrageous sentiments
will be fully exposed.

THE howl of certain Democratic Con-
gressIuen over the oppression of the
people of the south by the United
States troops is thus noticed by the
Inte1 Ocean. 1t covers all the ground
great deal better than some solid arg
uments:
Let the north howl, for 10 it is the
victim of military oppression. 1t is
now our turn. A statement prepared
by the Secretary of War shows that
the degree of military oppression in the
north to that in the south, is as 352 is
to 303, In other words, the number
of the United States soldiers in eight
nothern States average 352 to a State,
while the average in eleven southern
States is only 303. This of course
does not include Texas, where there
are 3. 900 troops, and where the citi
zens unanimously want about 800
more 10 defend them from Mexican
marauders. Texas is exceptionally
situated and don't count. Leaving
out Texas, then, the north has just
one fifth more reason to complaid of
military oppression than the south.
