NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The general
verdict here among candid men is that
Tilden's income tax explanation through
bis law clerk has tailed Of effect, be-
cause, while il carefully controverts so
much of the Iimes' article charging him
with evasion and perjury. IS protested
by the only estimate Of his sources of
a large revenue in excess of what he re-
turned it, the facts show by his oaths
that his income in 1862 was $1.lls,
which is inconsistent with his more
recent Caths in the court proceedings,
that be received in that year two tees of
$4,000 each. 1t is argued that as the
Law required full statement of the
gross income, no claim Of any tax
through corporations in which Tilden
invested covers the case
CINCINNATI, Sept. 23-The Demo-
Gratis are using every effort in Ohio,
with some success, TO concentrate the
German Catholic vote in Tilden's favor,
on distinctive sectarian grounds. This.
however, reacts by drawing to the 9TH
er side Protestant Democrats who are
Disguised and alarmed by the attempts
to achieve political end through re-
ligious prejudices. The Republicans
are believed to be gaining in this State

vote.
NEW YORK, Sept 23.-But little
has been done by the commission ap-
pointed by Congress to determine the
relative value of gold and silver thus
far. Senator Jones says the sqbiect
which they are requested TO consider is
so comprehensive that it is difficult to
/ find specialists who are qualified to give
opinions worth employing in the report.
The term expert, which is used in the
! first resolution. is one which the Com
missioners think bad; there are no ex-
perts in the country who are sufficiently
acquainted with the science of money to
give authoritative replies to questions
about the relative values of gold and sill
yer; the policy Of the restoration and the
double standard; the policy of con-
tinuinS the legal tender notes currents
ly with the metallic standard. and other
kindred questions. The Commission
will prepare forms which they will send
to London and other European cities to
be filled ont with answers from some of
the ablcst and most expert men in sci
ence there Then the Commission can
reach the question. 1t is one of such
breadth and so many variations, said
Jones' that it already seems a gigantic
task to every member Of the Commits
sion. and 1t is considered very doubtful
by them whether they will be able to
make "A satisfactory report by the 18th
of January. 1877. Meetings, as yet,
are only informal discussions No two
of the members have been able to agree
on the methods to he pursued. and their
plans will be still farther considered
from day to day. until a course of pro-
cedure can be adopted.
