NIGHT REPORT.
POLITICAL PABULUM
Tflden's 1Tickerg.


New York, Oct. 30.-The proved
completely of Tilden's literary bureau
in the detected arrangements for exten-
siye Democratic voting in Pennsylvania
on $4,000 fraudulent tax receipts have
alarmed the Republican managers here.
A list of equally extensive and disrep-
utable features of the ''still hunt" have
been arranged elsewhere and has
aroused them to intense activity to
discover and defeat such Vaccinations.
The City Ticket.
City Republicans decline to join the
anti-Tammany independents on the
city ticket because the other of its
nominations than Green's are dis
reputable. Besides, as Tilden supports
the anti-Tammany it is wiser to leave
the two wings of the Democracy to
fight out their battle for local spoils.
1t is hoped that the effect will be the
election of Dix to the mayoralG by
the aid of disgusted Democrats of both
wings, which would lie a great reform
triumph.
Merchants and Capitalists Against
ISlden.
Eighteen bank presidents, leading
merchants of this city and capitalists,
headed by John Jacob Astor, and in
cluding well-known Democrats, have
addressed Hon. VIM. NJ. Evarts, asking
his views on the present political issues.
Evarts consents to speak "Wednesday
evening at Cooper Institute. The sign
ers of the address declare that the
Democratic party is inimical to the
public credit, dangerous to. the public
peace, and that they are against Tilden
on the financial issue. Their assigned
reasons are that the Democratic party
are identified with the rebellion and
The principles which gave it life, and
that its advent to power would be the
precursor of Southern claims for COM
pensation to an extent that would
jevpardize the solvency OF the national
treasury and entail upon taxpayers
burdens that could not be borne. The
radical change III the policy of the gov
ernment which the election of Tilden
would imply would in their judgment
impair the credit of the government al
home and abroad, postpone indefinitely
the resumption of specie payments and
endanger in the future our peace and
prosperity. This paper makes strong
impression in financial circles.
The distinguished former Democratic
lawyer, Hon. Z. w. Stoughton, pub
fishes a letter showing from Tilden's
own sworn statement and admissions
that the latter personally knew and
understood the character of the circular
signed with his name, under which
Tweed perpetrated the election frauds
of 1868. He made no effort then as lie
makes none now, to check such glaring
frauds.

New York, Oct. 30.--The following
is published to-day:
To the People Of the United States:

ments for the information of all
August 3lst, the national debt reached
its maximum amount, S2,756, 431,-
591. 1t had been reduced June 3Oth,
1876, to S2,099, ,439, ,344, a reduction
during this period of eleven years
since the war of 1856, ,992, ,246. The
annual interest charge for the fiscal
year ending June Both, 1866, was Sl33,-
U67, ,741, and for the past year. ending
June Both, 1876, 500, ,243, I'll, or re-
-duction in the annual interest charge
since 1866 of 49,, 2,824,4 ,470. The annual
expenditures of the government in 1876,
as compared with 1866, show reduc-
tion of 1852, 1881 and in federal
taxation of more than three hundred
millions. Other great results of this
financial policy have been that despite
the indebtedness of more than two
thousand millions and while diminish
ing taxation, the credit of the country
has been raised to an unprecedented
point, so that its II per cent. bonds,
issued in the redemption OF . per cents,
have been selling rapidly at home and
abroad above parin gold, and that the
government las been enabled every
year since 1865, not only to keep within
its income. but to apply an average
annual sum- of $50, ,742 ,224.21 toward
the payment of its Indebtedness. A
careful consideration of these results of
the judlcious management of the ma
tional treasury during Republican
administration Of the government in
duces the undersigned TO express their
confident belief that continuation of
the same generous policy which has so
well sustained our commercial honor
and aided so powerfully in the preserva-
tion of the union itself, would be best
promoted by the election of General
Rutherford b. Hayes and William A..

NEW YORK.


New York, Oct. 30.-U. S. Attorney
Bliss, in another letter to the Internal
Revenue Commissioners, skaters Til
denis excuse that l.e waited to make his
income returns because the law was
doubtful, ard he did not like to adjudi-
cate its meaning on doubtful points, and
so preferred to submit to penalty as
sessment. He shows that Tilden' Is
scruples were suspended in 1868, when
there happened to be change in the
assistant assessor and Tilden returned
over Sic, 900 taxable income and that ii
was the year after in which his scruples
detained him until the law was repealed.

1t is quite probable that the Re
publican organs will claim Florida for
Hayes until the official canvass of the
returns is made, some days hence.
But the State is conceded to Tilden
by the Acknowledgement of Florida,
who is also member of the Returning
Board, and by the common sense of
all who have examined the returns as
telegraphed. This alone decides the
great contest. There is no more
doubt of the result in Louisiana. OF
the three doubtful Southern States,
South Carolina alone remains in

From year to year we have beer

The above is the latest report as
correct from the leading Democratic

clear majority Of IS votes. The
three States in dispnte are Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina Louisi.

Carolina same year Grant had $500.
The Republicans claim that the color
ed men voted for Greeley in Louisiana
in 1S72-why did they not in South
Carolina ? Figures make this matter
clear, but the Republicans don't show
them. The N. y. Herald of the 18th

elected Governor of Louisiana, but
who was deliberately counted out, "

This is suggestive. They OILY claim
