Tilden, The, Perjurer.

The Democrat does not, because it
cannot sue cessfully, deny the charges
against Tilden of having sworn falsely
with reference to his income tax in
1862. 1t pleads guilty, but offers in
mitigation that everybody made false
returns. How the Democrat knows
this does not appear. It seems to be a
tolerably broad and sweeping statement
without any authority or evidence to
sustain it. Not so, however, with Til
den. There appears to be no question
in his case. The proof of guilt is
furnished by Tilden himself: He first
swore to an income of ST 1l8, and SUBJ
sequently made affidavit that he re-
ceiyed as fee in one single case the
sum Of $4,000. Now, We do not pre-
tend to say upon which occasion ne
periured himself, nor for that matter
is it material. It is enough for the
American people to know that be is
man who caI not be believed under
oath, and that consequently it is un-
safe to entrust him with the high Office
of President.

The unaminity which prevailed in
the delegation from this county for
Judge Orion in the democratic con
gressional convention last week at
Madison, was due mainly to the efforts
of Henry Mulberger, Esq. There
can be no doubt of this for Mr.. Null
berger "admts" it himself. He work
ed diligently to secure the nomination
Of his friend and partner, and by his
activity and success has placed himself
10 position where in case of the cleo
ton of both Tilden and Ortou he
would be the political autocrat of JEFF
ferson county. Applicants for the
post ofice-in case Mr.. Mulberger does
not want it for himself-and such other
crumbs as will be lying around loose
when Tilden gets to be President(?)
will do well to file their claims early
with the firm of Orion, Mulberger and
Gardner. a5o4

Lucien =. Caswe11,
The Democrat last week, referring
OF JEFFERSON.

The Democrat last week, referring
to the nomination of Gen. Bragg for
Congress, said of his vanquished op-
ponent, that "Mr. Burchard had given
universal satisfaction to his constitu-
ents" This being the case, what oe-
comes of the hoastful cry of civil
service reform" made by democrats.
Hendricks says n his letter of accept
ance that. good men in Office should
not be displaced except for cause, but
here we find one who is thrown over
board to satisfy the demands of politi-
clans. We vety much fear that the
civil service reform promised by demo-
Gratis is delusion and snare, intend
ed more to catch gudgeons than for
any other purpose.

Without a Platform.

The convention which nominated
Hon. H. S. Orion for Congress did
not appoint the usual committee on
resolutions. The idea probably was
that it was unwise to have any plat
form, for fear that the candidate could
not be kept upon it up to the day OF
election-not an unreasonable conclu-
sion, certainl y, in view of bis known
aptitude for turning political somer-
saults. At the last moment before the
adjournment, however, delegate con-
t'ary TO the programme agreed upon
that no resolutions should be presented
offered two or three and among
them the following, which were all
adopted:
Resoleed, That the action of our present
Representative in Congress, L B. Caswell,
has been in favor of rings and corruptions,
thus disappearing his constituency, and
meets with our unqualified condemnation.
Yhe records of conventions will be
searched in vain to find an instance
similar to this where the candidate of
an opposing party has been thus as
sailed by name. 1t is an unprece-
denied proceeding, and has been left
to the democracy of the second con
gressional district to make this new
departure in politics. No objection
could be urged to the conventions
having in general way antagonized
the republican party and its policy
but there can be no excuse for going
beyond this We do not say this be-
cause We fear the effect in Jefferson
county The more resolutions of this
kind that democratic conventions pass,
the better for Mr.. Caswell. Where
be is best known, no one charges him
with being corrupt, because personally
he is one of the purest and best of men
against whom nothing can truthfully
be said, and democrats, no less than
republicans, resent the impatation at
tempted to be cast upon him.
The most singing rebuke, however,
which the convention. could have re-
ceived, was administered by Its nomi-
nee tor Congress in a speech made by
him last Saturday evening at Madison.
We clip from the Madison Democrats
report of Judge Orton's remarks as
follows:
He had known Mr. Caswell, his opponent,
a long time, personally and he knew him
to be an honest and an upright gentleman.
We are willing to put that against
the resolution adopted by the conven-
ton, and to take the jud gment of the
people upon the question raised by it
against Mr.. Caswell.

Last Weeks Elections.

Elections were held last week in
Arkansas and Vermont. The former
State which did all in her power to
break up the Union and destroy the
governm emit, went largely democratic.
The latter State, which gave freely Of
her blood and treasure to maintain
the Union, went republican by ire
mendous majority. And thus it is and
will be. w here the rebellion was
Matched, nursed and sustained, will be
found the largest democratic MAORI
ties; where the Union sentiment was
and is the strongest, whence came the
power which put down the ira itors in
arms, will be found majorities for the
republicans. This is very significant
and shows who were the true friends Of
the Union

The Mobile Register in a recent
number said: 1.-The grave question to
be settled at much cost is, what is to
be done to get rid of the negro as a
voter? Sooner or later, with more or
less dispatch, he will be disfranchised
and thrust out ofpolitics. White men
of all parties and of every grade of
religious or moral conviction may as
we'll come quickly to the consideration
how to get the negro out of politics
with the least confusion and cost. HI
must 60, and there is no profit in stand
ing long upon the order of his going.
The question of suffrage belongs to
the states respectively. Whea the or
gained Democracy of 1876 goes into
office. each state shall be allowed to
settle this and other social and domes-
tic issues for itself and in it's own way
without any interference from the gen.
eral government. Then we can begin
the work Of resetting our shattered
political and our demoralized social
institutions upon correct foundations. "

The Democrat comedies that there
was "a slight received by the Germans,
and more especially by this city, at the
hands of the democratic county con-
vention." The word "slight" family
expresses the feeling which is enter
tanned. not by Germans alone, but by
all fair minded democrats of every ma
tionality, for the indignities which
were heaped upon the Germans With
out referring particularly to the under
handed and dishonorable means EN-
ployed to defeat the nomination of
Christian Mayer for treasurer, we
should like to ask an explanation of
the treatment of Robert Haas. Why
was he refused a denomination, when
Doct. Reed, W. H. Hake, D. E Rak-
err, w H. Rogers and James Rogan
were thus favored? Mr.. Haas, IKE
the persons we have named, had serv-
ed but one term and was with them
equally entitled to denomination Was
he throyn ouerboard because he acas q
German Is it true that the argu-
ment was used that in the past Ger
mans have had more than their share
of the Offices, and must stand aside
now and give the Irish chance? Did
the Irish threaten to "bolt" if Rut-
ledge was not given place on the
ticket? And was it not said that the
Germans did not dare bolt, and could
be relied upon to support the ticket,
and was not this the reasoning Of the
managers OF the convention in their
action? Will the Democrat answer?

The Democrat came out last week
in a vigorous article in favor of Gen.
Bragg for Congress in the 5th district,
celebrating his war record to a consid-
cradle extent. We suggest to the
Democrat that Gen. Bragg's record as
a soldier was all made when he ran for
Congress few years ago against
Charles A. Eldridge, who was always
one of the bitterest copperheads IN the
state, and ,ods supported by the Demo-
crat against Bragg. Slightly ineon-
sistent, boys, but entirely oharacteris-
tic.

Orion, Mulberger and Gardner is
the style of firm which bids fair to
become quite as important in a politi-
cal as it ever was In legal sense. The
former gentleman is the democratic
candidate for Member of Congress in
this district. Mr.. Mulberger was a
delegate to the convention which NOM
mated him. Maj Gardner figured in
lesser capacity, his influence, we be-
lieve, being confined to the running Of
ward caucuses in the interest of the
other members of the firm If the
success which has attended them thus
far can only be guaranteed in the flu
ture, the democratic party may be con-
graduated on having confded its in

Walt. Greene opposed Taylor for
Governor, was twitted of it in the
democratic county convention by Geo.
W. Bird, and beaten by Doct Reed
for the nomina ton for Senator.
Judge Orion opposed Taylor for
Governor, and was nominated by the
democrats for Congress. That shows
how differently matters are viewed from
the two standpoints Of Jefferson and
Madison, and proves that what is sauce
for the goose is not always sauce for
the gander. By the way, where is the
consistency of Bird and the other dele
gates who opposed Greene on the
ground we have mentioned, and are
now supporting Orion!

INDUCING In "feast of crow" The
editor who is pot on speaking terms
with Judge Orion has been laboring
for weeks to prevent the nomination of
the latter for Congress. He moreover
threatened to bolt the action of the
convention if Orion was placed upon
the ticket, and declared after the
nomination was made, that he would
oppose it. An intimation, however,
by the friends Of Orion, that if the
editor adhered to mis- contumacy. an
other democratic paper would be estab-
lished there within twenty-four hours,
caused him to reconsider his determin-
alton, and he has run up the Orton
flag. It was bitter dose, but he had
to swallow it.
