A GREAT HINDOO FESTIVAL.

One OF the great annual festivals OF
the Hindoos was lately celebrated upon
astrologers announced that happy
conjunction Of the planets at the time
would render the occasion especially
favorable for all who desired purifica-
ton Of their sins by plunging into the
river. Myriads Of Hfndoos rushed to
the spot, determined to battle without
delay, but so great was the crowd that
number were crushed to death. Their
bodies were Immediately thrown into
the water, with the idea that they would
float direct to heaven.

DORsHEIMER AND TILpEy.
Tllden Can Never be the Democratic Press
idential Candidate Again.
IN, Y, Tribuae.1

Who will mourn for Tilden now? His
faithful hacker, Lieut.. Gov. Dorshei-
mer, has given hilE up with the remark
You know as well as I do that to revive
Mr.. Tilden as our candidate a second
time is not possible. You saw his phys
ical appearance, and that he could not
be run again." This utterance is at
tributed to Mr.. Dorsheimer by the New
York correspondent Of the Cincinnati
enquirer, who makes him add in justi-
hcation OF his recent speech:
-" What l was trying to do was to keep
the issue against the Republicans-to
force the aggressive fighting, and not
let this indignation go down. It is rep
resented in the person Of Tilden, al
though he will not be personally avail
able again"
This is cruel enough from the mouth
OF Fidus Achates, but Mr.. Dorsheimer
goes further, and thus puts the entire
blame for the failure on Mr.. Tilden's
shoulders:
"Tilden not taking the Presidency,
his adversaries resume their antagon-
ism. He Ia, however, an interesting
character. That system of procrastina-
ton, which often brought him advan-
tage, brought also his ultimate defeat.
We pressed him during the campaign
to do many things, and he would put
them off, saying: Wait The majority Of
things work themselves right Now
this often appeared to be so. There
he would say, didn't I tell you so =
But after the election was over-when
he was elected, despite everything
then Tilden should have been decided
and quit his quandary. 1t is singular
that man 80 Industrious should have
postponed so much. He was exposed,
however, to many kind Of counsels, and
those counselors Of the most honest in
tentions Numbered the worst. That
Electoral Commission bill was support
ed by the highest talent in the party and
by Mr.. Iilden's friend, Hewitt. It was
not supposable that the Supreme Court
OF the United States would take such q
party division. 1 think Mr.. Tilden
ought to have assumed command Of the
party, and he would have been inau-
But because he erred and put
action off, the Republicans must not be
to forget that he was cheated"

trade continues 10 be satisfactory. The de-
mand is active enough to keep tolerably even
pace with an abundant supply, prices a:e
firm without materially tending upward, and
the transactions that are taking place are to
meet actual-not conjectural wants. The
shoe buyers complain that they have to pay
more for standard lines of goods than they
did last year. The manufacturers object
that they cannot get difference enough in
price to make up for the advance of ten per
cent in material which has taken place with
in twelve-month. Nevertheless they buy
freely and sell freely. There seems to be no
anticipations of radical changes to check the
current of traffic. The customers are not de-
TERED from making purchases by expecta-
tions OF doing better by and by, and those
who serve them accept orders with alacrity,
based on the quotations of the hour. Cour-
age and confidence prevail on both sides, but
there is no excitement. There is as little
fear of fall on the one side as hope of rise on
the other. Consequently the business is easy
steady, and reciprocally beneficial

The national banks are making strong eff
forts to secure the reinstatement of John Fl.
Cragman, who, for twelve years past has had
charge of the bond vaults in the United
States treasurer's Office. He has at times
had $400, 100000 in bonds deposited by the
banks in his care. and he has performed his
duties so acceptably and honestly that the
banks are even willing to pay his salary them
selves rather than have him relieved. The
cause of Mr.. Crogan's dismissal is the crime
OF having brother in the Treasury Depart
ment.
1t is curious illustration of the slap-dash
way in which newspapers leap to conclsions,

The New York Sun, which is nothing if
not sensational, prints fac-similes of two GER

ond National Bank OF New York in the Fifth

B. Hayes or order-Z. Chandler" Then
''R. B. Hayes and two others dated Sept.
12, 1876. The said money was raised for
election purposes by assessment on Federal
ofice-holders, and then goes on to make these
savage comments: That r. B. Hayes re-
ceived this money from Mr.. Chandler, and
drew it out through a bank in Ohio, appears
by the fac.similes of two of the certificates of
deposit and the endorsements thereon, which
we this day publish. The Second National
Bank, where the money was deposited, is in
the corner of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where
Mr.. Chandler's committee had their head
quarters. OF course Mr.. Hayes paid this
money out for election purposes. If he did
not do that, he embeZzled it; and nobody
suspects him of embezzlement II he paid it
out for election purposes, she paid it out to
promote either his own election or that of
Mr.. Tllden. Does any one imagine he paid
it out to promote Mr.. Tilden's election? Un-
der his own hand the great civil service re-
former stands convicted of hypocrisy. The
halo OF honesty popularity supposed to sur
round his head has all disappeared, and like
the unveiled prophet of the poet, he stands
forth revealed in the deformity which belongs
to false pretensions.
