The defiant position taken in the recent amnesty
debate by Mr.. Ben Hill called out a statement to
the effect that Hill when member of the Confed-
crate Senate struck William L. Yancey on the
back of the head with an inkstand. The Nash
vile American contradicts this story, but gives in
its place to the effect that during heated de-
bate Hill called Yancey liar, when the latter
sprang forward to strike him, but was caught and
thrown violently over desk. Hill was much the
larger and stronger man, and Yancey the more
active. In the fall his spine was injured, and he
lay unconscious on the floor with blood oozing
from his lips. He was taken away, and the mem
bers tried to keep the matter secret and did pre-
vent it from being known for six months. Yam
cey never recovered he dropped from day to day,
became hopeless, listless and vacant, and passed
quietly and calmly away. When YaHcey died he
had given up all hope of the success of the move
ment for which he had labored long and earnestly.

If the country is to enjoy peace in
the future Democracy must be defeat
ed. If we are to maintain the value
of our crrrency Democracy must be
defeated. If the nation is to live and
grow, the enemy of its peace and pros
peritY must be defeated. The hum
blest citizen has q vital interest at
stake in keeping the Government out
of the hands of those who have no
sympathy for its principles Of freedom
and equality. Let all who value
good government work increasingly
for the success of the Republican
ticket. Our national salvation de-
pends upon it.
Tilden's supporters deny that he
ever remarked to Ex-Governor Under
wood, of Vermont, during the war,
that "any United States soldier on
Southern soil could be sued for
trespass." Governor Underwood reit-
crates his assertion, and states that the
conversation rook place between them
on the piazza of Congress Hall, at
Saratoga. He also sayes that Tilden
expressed surprise that he (the Gov
ernor) did not hold the same opinion
with himself.
Since it was settled that New York
is Tilden's last hope, and an uncertain
one at that, the canals have been
found to be in shocking condition.
1T IS discovered, moreover, that the
necessary force ofmen to make the re-
paires cannot be had in the State.
They have to be imported by thou
sands from adjoining States. Their
engagement will last until the first
Tuesday in Novsmber. This is the
last act in Sam Tilden's great drama
of canal reform.

TILDEWs CANDIDATE.

In 1868 John T. Hoffman, then
Mayor Of New York city, and of
course a member Of the ring, as he
was a great friend of Tweed and Til.
den, was fraudulently elected Govern.
or Of the Empire State. On this oc-
casion twenty thousand spurious votes
were smuggled in, giving the State to
Democrats. Mr.. Tilden was chairman
of the Democratic State Committee,
and the famous circular in regard to
his election was signed by him. He
denied all agency in issuing it when
the fraud was discovered, but be did
not attempt to prosecute those who,
according TO his disclaimer, had forged
his name. He might have safely done
so, for the courts we're in the ring, and
the trial would have been a farce, as
Mr.. Tilden must have been aware !;
and it is surprising that man of his
cunning did not, feeling secure, play
the whole thing out. The circular re-
ferred to is as follows;
Rooms OF THE Dem. STATE Com,
October q, 1868.
My DEAR SIR: Please at once
communicate with some reliable person
in three or four principal towns and
in each city of your county, and re-
quest him (expenses duly arranged for
at this end) to telegraph to VIM. M.
Tweed, Tammany Hall, at the minute
of closing the polls, not waiting for the
count, such persons estimate of the
vote. Let the telegram be as follows:
"This town will show Democratic
gain Cor loss) over last year of (num.
ber.") Or this one if sufficiently Ger.
tain; This town will give Repub-
lican Cor Democratic) majority of
-"
There is, Of course, an important
object to be obtained by simultane-
Gus transmission at the hour of closing
the polls, but not longer waiting. Op-
portunity can be taken at the usual
half-hour lull in telegraphic communi-
cations over lines before actual results
begin to be declared, and before the
Associated Press absorb the telegraph
with returns and interfere with indi-
vidual messages, and give orders to
carefully watch the count.
Very truly, yours,
SAMUEL j. TILDEN,
Chairman.
The important object" was thus
obtained. The State returns we're
carefully revised and estimated, and
it was found that Hoffman was defeat
ed by Al ,204 majority. Then the city
returns were "doctored" by the addi-
tion of 81 900 ballots which had never
been in the hands of voters, other than
Tweed, ,Tilden, q Co.-had never been
legally deposited-but which gave a
majority in the city of New York of
SO ,150 for Hoffman,

This was the command given by
the machine" and the result
shows how faithfully it was observ'
ed by the delegates at the Repub
lican county convention last Sat
urday. 1t had been thought and
hoped by many of the leading Re-
publicans that "new DEAF was to
be had, and new candidates put in
the field, but the result shows no
such order of things, as the same
old team is trotted out, and the
voters of this county asked to sup
port them, which we believe they
will not do. Among the candidates
who sought the nominations for
offices, were some of the ablest
men of the county, but their claims
were completely ignored by the
"ring" politicians. They were
men who have always faithfully
labored for the Republican
party, and who would undoubtedly
have polled strong vote, and re-
flected credit on the party they
represented but they were DOOM
ed to disappointment, and the re-
suit shows plainly that the conven-
ton was controlled entirely by the
"ring." 1t does not require much
thought for any intelligent thinker
to observe that the county delega-
ton and a portion from the city,
were whipped into line,' and
against their own wishes, to vote
lust as the "machine" Dictated
Before those nominations were
made, we were impressed with the
belief that the Democracy stood q
very good chance to carry Alpena
county this fall, and now we feel
certain that the intelligent people
will turn out, and on November
7th sweep this "ring" business en-
tirely from sight, by q hearty sup
port of the Democratic ticket
The people of this country have
become tired of having their bust
ness affairs controlled by rings, and
they are even now coming to the
front with full determination to
forever bury that kind of manage
ment of our public affairs.

The convention was by all odds
the most harmonious ever held in
this county, and the ticket is ac-

he a strong one. Indeed it would
be difficult to select q better set of
candidates than have been placed
in nomination by the Democracy,

When Lieutenant Dennison told
the $50 or 200 Republican voters,
at Alpine Hall, last evening, that
the Democrats were drunkards,
horse thieves, and rebels, it just
tickled them almost to death, and
then YOU should have heard the
radicals laugh when they heard
that Samuel winked with one eye,
and that he ought not to he Pres
ident because he hadn't stole some
body's sister. Small things will
sometimes please, and Charley
knew how to please the men that
hired him. The women who were
present must have been pleased at
the ram story and such things.
