Gov. HAYES TAX RaTURN.-The
Cleveland (Ohio) Herald says: "The
tax return of Gov. Hayes is docu-
ment which will bear favorable COM
parison with that of any citizen of the
State, revealing strict honesty and
nice sense of honor, which those who
know Gov. Hayes best recognize as
characteristic Of the man. The best
evidence of the strict honesty Of the
return is found In the fact that it was
examined by the Board of Equaliza-
ton, a majority of whom were demo-
Gratis, and special committee of one,
a democrat of high character, made
searching investigation, and reported
everything perfectly correct. All the
county officers were democrats, and
were satisfied Of the correctness of the
returns. The truth OF the returns of
Gov. Hayes. and the absolute falsity
of some of the statements in the
charge against him, are known to most
of the citizens of Fremont and admit
ted by them, without regard to party.
One of them stated the whole case in
a nutshell when he said that Gov.
Hayes can prove by anybody in FIRE.

has put in his property for taxation

SOUTHERN OUTRAGEs. - WASH
INGToN, Sept. Attorney General
Taft continues to receive a number Of
letters daily from the South filed with
stories of cruelties practiced upon re-
publicans, and praying for protection
by the General Government. Mr..
Taft says not the twentieth part of the
outrages practiced upon helpless ne.
groes and white republicans is ever
heard of in the North; that the South
ern papers from policy suppress the
facts, which only become known
through the medium of some govern
ment official. From consel vative
republican, Judge Taft has changed
his views In regard to the South COM
pletely within three months, and says
he never supposed the spirit of op-
preston and tyranny could exist to such
an extent as now prevails in some Of
the Southern states, and encouraged
by the very men who were the most
submissive when the rebellion was
crushed. 1t is Judge Taft's intention
to embody some of these statements Of
Democratic cruelties in speech, which
he will deliver In Cincinnati during
the latter part of this month He
proposes to tell true story based upon
evidence which has come into his hands
as Attorney General, and what he will
say will, it is believed, command very
general attention throughout the North,
if it does not produce a positive sensa-
ton.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The charge
concerning Tilden's failure to pay prop
er income tax is to be judicially tried.
Correspondence was begun with the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue and
yesterday second letter from District
Attorney Bliss was received at the In
ternal Revenue Bureau on the subject
of Tilden's delinquencies. Commits
sioner Raum said he did not feel at lib
erty to make the tenor of the cores
pondence public, but he could say that
Mr.. Bliss was of the opinion that a suit
ought to be instituted against the Dem
ocratic candidate for the Presidency.
The Commissioner, however, said he
was entirely free from political preju-
dice in the matter and what he advised
had been without regard to the promi-
nent position now occupied by Mr.. Til
den. He added that in his opinion
the years 1862 and 1868 are the only
ones concerning which suit can be
brought. How far the suit will be
pressed is doubtful, but at any rate the
suit cannot be completed until some
months after election.

1t is the duty of all persons before

are two or more roads leading to the same

The Only Importance of Disqualid-
cation.

With any other man President, the dis
qualification OF Gen. BELKNAP would seem
to be about as unimportant as decree
that dead man should not come to life.
But the experience of the past shows that
IT Is q fTercnt with Gen. GRANT.
Who knows that within short time
BELKSAP would not be appointed Judge
OF the Court of Claims. or nominated for
Minister to England or Chef Justice OF the
Supreme Court
1t s certain that when BELKNAP resigned
worse man was temporarily put In his
place; and what do we know about what
GRANT would do with BELKNAPi 1t may
be said the Senate would not confirm him.
But after the confirmation OF BILLINGS,
this supposition will not hold Besides, he
might be appointed during the recess Of
the senate, or made private secretary
to the President, which requires no con
flrmation.
II any one is inclined to scout this sug-
G, stion rs ridiculous, we seriously put the
question. Has not Gen. GRANT made
important appointments VIGOROUSLY just
as bad?

out. Such courtesy consid ration, and respect
ne were thus displayed In behalf OF the vast mul-

out some public expression Of grateful recogni-
