AT the Manhattan Club reception
gotten up a few day since, to glorify
the defeated Democratic nominees
for President and Vice President,
Mr.. Tilden took occasion to unburden
his mind of its woes in regard to bis
personal grievances. Among other
things, be is reported to have said :
.sErerybcdy knows that alter the recent election
'sthe men who were elected by the people az
president and Vice President of the United
estates were counted out, and that the men who
-were not elected were counted in and seated
A greater number of false state
ments could not have possibly been
put into the same space. A greater
Islander could not have been uttered
upon the character of q people. No
body was elected by the people.
Electors were chosen by them, a
plan for counting their votes was
agreed upon by Congress, and the
result declared BY them was that
Messrs. Hayes and Wheeler had ls5
votes and Messrs. Tilden and Hen
bricks had ls4 votes.
The men who were elected were
counted in and seated under the
plsin provisions of a plan which q
large majority of Democrats in both
Houses of Congress approved aud
adopted, and everybody knows"
that Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks
were not elected. Moreover not a
Northern State gave its votes hon.
estly for Ti!den and Hendricks, and
none of the Southern States except
Texas and those on the border. North
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and
Arkansas were Republican on an
honest vote, and the Democratic
leaders having failed to corrupt or
intimidate the Republican majority
in South Carolina, Florida and Louis
lana, attempted to bride the Hayes
and Wheeler electors after they had
been chosen. And vet in the face of
this record, nov historical, Mr.. Til
den who was not chosen by the
electors, or elected by the people, and
who attempted to steal a vote from
Oregon, has the mendacity to pub
licly assert that -everybodys knows"
that be was counted out.

forced to retreat. The whole country
is reported to be wild with alarm
and troops have been ordered 10

early workings Of the COm>tock, there
was a certain heavy clay seam which
was universally considered and al

however. that clay wall has been tx
