WASHINGTON, ~. u, Sept. ., 1875.
1t isreally pitiable TO witness the squlrm-
ing of the Democracy under the blew adj
minstcred to that party by the sturdy
sons Of old Vermont. After partial We.
covery of spirits they have begun to study
up the result of that election and, though |
thoroughly disheartened they effect to be-
lieve that they are rather encouraged by
the figures. From the fact that in some |
districts the number of Democratic ballots
was somewhat larger than at some Of the |
previous elections in that State, they claim
that they have, in reality, made large
gain. A Democratic journal Of this city
even goes so far rs to announce with tre-
mendous flourish that, with similar gains
in all of the Northern States Tilden will
ton" When we find from the returns
that they have only elected twenty
Denocrats to the Legislature where
they had fifty before, and failed this
time to elect the single Senator that, soli
tary and alone, represented them in the
upper House of that body during the last
session, we fail to see where the great re.
former can find much to encourage him in
his work. They take their overw hclming
defeat very ungraciously, and hesitate to
acknowledge it as the forerunncr of what
they are to receive in the great battle soon
to be fought.
On the other hand our Republican lead
ers feel deal OF encouragement frpm such
hearty endorsement of their efforts and
the banner under which they are cam
paigning, and are inspired TO reduublc
their energy IN the good cause.
Again, the Democracy have received
terrible set back through the indi.crctiUn
OF one OF their fre-enting editors. The ar.
ticle in the Baltimore Gazette calling ON
the South to organize minute men" and
resist the enforcement of the laws by the
| United States authorities was most un.
| fortunate one for their side aud that thev
are fully aware of It's evil consequences is
shown by the alacrity with which it is de-
nounced Ly the other journals of like faith
throughout the North. 1t is the following
of the advice of such rebelous organs
that will enable them to control Il majority
of the Southern States, but they fear the
consequences of such an acknowledgement
| in the North. The Gazette having received
notice from headquarters that the article
in question was bound to prove injurious it
hastened to modify the infamous utteran-
ces, and now claims that its language was
| misconstrued. Such an excuse will not do
| But one construetion can be placed upon a
| call tor torcible resistance, with the bay
onet OF the enforcement of the laws OF the
country. Can the people in the North in
! the face OF such words and rccommenda-
tlons longer believe that the hydra headed
monster OF rebellion is not again attempt
ing to assert it's power. If they will not
believe it now and net accordingly thoy
will soon awake to the knowledge that the
blow they should have struck has been too
long delayed
At last the followers Of the great reform
er are endeavoring to countoract the evil
influences OF the exposure of his fraudulent
evasions OF the revenue laws. Mr.. Hewitt
one OF his most trusty henchmen, hns ap-
piled to the Treasury for copie. of the re-
turns of TIlden and, with the coolcst inn
pudence imaginable, he nlso asks for like
copies of the returns of Mr.. IIaycs. Mr.
Tilden never made but one return, and ii
is now well known that one was not only
meant to evade proper payment in 1862
but to serve as false guide to the assessor,
in all subsequent years. He well knew
that they would be obliged to assess on the
basis of that return, and he was only toe
