Z The complaint in the suit against Samuel j.
Tiden by the United States, torecover taxes

has been filed in the United States District
Court The amounts alleged to be due aggre-

amount sued for. 1t is stated that Mr. Thornas
Harland, counsel for Mr.. Iflden, will soon
argue in support of demurrer 10 the COM
plaint, based on the claim tEat as the Assess
sors in Tilden's District assessed him on esti-
mates made by themselves for the greater
portion of the period covered, he having failed
to make any return, the government is bound
by their action and can not prosecute Mr..
Tilden, and that he can not be sued for pen
allies for non-payment, except for the year
1871, on account of the statute of limitations

TWEED has instructed his counsel to
confess judgment in all the cases
broughtagainst him by the city, county
I State. He says he has disclosed his
defence to the Attorney General on
several occasions on the promise that
1t should secure him his release. The
Attorney General now refuses to release
him, and he considers 1t would be
useless to interpose a defence. He
denounces what he terms the injustice
OF the compromise with Sweeney. and
declares thai the four criminal indict.
ments found against the latter would
have led to his conviction had he not
fed instead of remaining as Tweed did
to meet the issue. Tweed says Con
molly and Sweeney were as much 10
the ring frauds as himself. Sweeney's
statement is an admission OF such CON-
plicity, and Tweed thinks he has q
right to be leniently treated.

1t will be in the case of Pitkin and the 9TH
er removals in the South made by the Presi-
dent that the fight made against him and his
policy will be first initiated. The President,
by law, is required to send to the Senate
within thirty days of its meetings nomina-
tions in the place of all officers suspended by
him. The Senate will consider their cases in
executive session and in the privacy which
attaches thereto, Senators will at first speak
their minds much more plainly than in open
session. 1T is positively certain that, although
the people generally appear to approve Of the
policy of the President, and so far no Senator
or Representative has come out openly against
him, there win be q stand, and a decided
stand taken against him and against Ibis policy
by his party friends in both houses of Con-
gress As just said, it will be initiated in the
Senate in the executive sessions, but it will
soon spread to the open sessions. In the pres
ent very nearly equal political division of par
ties in the SeEate, the result WILL be that even
in the absence of any formal alliance or un-
derstanding with disaffected Republicans the
Democratic Senators will nine times out of
ten be able to control both legislation and the
approval or rejection of appointments.

A DeDocratfc Scheme TO Install
ssnea Ttltlen as President.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
of Wednesday says: ssr. a.r-u- q
For some weeks past some of the shrewdest
RepRh,iean politicians in the country have
believed that the great sensation of the fall
session of Congress will not be the expected
attack os President Hayes and some of his
political advisors, however pronounced and
vigorous that may be, but will be, instead, q
increment on the part of the Democrats to
declare Hayes not elected, and take measures
fer the recognition of Tilden. The speeches
Of Tlden and Hendricks last night in New
York are by such Republicans regarded as
very significant. The view taken of these
speeches here is that they were carefully pre-
pared after full consultation with the promi-
nent Democrats who were present, and others
Of Ike prominence in various parts of the
country. 1t is the belief that both SIr. Tilden
md Hendricks knew what the other was to
ay, and that the whole affair, so far as the
announcement of the Democratic position is
concerned, was of the most deliberate charac-
ter. There are several Eastern Republicans
of acknowledged sagacity and prominent
standing, who express the opinion that the
Democrats are looking to an early control of
the Senate, as well as the House, with the in :
tention the moment they obtain power to re-
fuse to make further appropriations for Presi-
dent Hayes, and to recognize Tilden instead,
and appropriate only upon his estimates. The
speeches of yesterday are regarded here by
many as the formal opening of this contro-
versy by the chosen leaders of the Democratic
party, and some of their best known followers
are known to feel confident that they will
control the Senate, at least by the middle of
Hayes term and possibly before. In connec-
tion with the re-opening of this matter, the
leading Democrats of the House have now
under consideration proposed investigation,
aimed at all matters covered by the Matthew'S
Foster letters and similar matters of alleged
bargaining, by which certain Northern Demo-
Gratis claim that the opposition to the compile
ton OF the Electoral count wss broken down.

The Proffered Hand Rejected.
From the Mobile Gala Register, June 6.

From the Mobile Ala Register, June s.
Let us have done with all this Dec
oration Day twaddlei The right was
right, and wrong and right can never
shake hands over q bunch of flowers.
As well might Cranmer or Joan of Arc
say to the men who lighted the pyres
under them. "You are doubtless right
from your standpoint, and we are prob
ably right from ours, therefore let Us
shake! and when we are burned up
your friends and ours can meet and
scatter flowers over our graves" Where
would Christianity have been If the
friends of those who fought with beasts
at Ephesus, who were stoned and
scourged and crucified, had shaken
hands with the pagans and admitted
that both sides were right?
The true Southern people have no
wish to obtrude their attachment to
their principles upon the gaze of the
world; they are honestly determined to
abide by the Federal Government; they
will struggle by all peaceable means to
make that Government as nearly as
possible like their beloved Confederate
Government; they will cling silently,
In their own homes and by their own
graves, to the sacred memories of the
most honored past that ever glorifieds
conquered people; but they do not pro-
pose to blot out their history by such
empty and adject twaddle as that in
dulged in by the latter Decoration Day
orators, who roll up the whites of their
eyes and say. "God knows who is
right"
We know who was right, and God
knows that the South was right. God
used the South as q means OF evangeliz-
ing and finally liberating 200, ,0OG Afri-
cans, and when His purpose was ac-
com mplished We find the South stronger
than ever, with its principles OF gov
erment more clearly recognized than
ever before.

After few moments, came in a poor
woman, who deposited basket Of clothes

skirts. They looked tired and weary but
there was no vacant place; to be sure,

to be seated. Charlotte d., drew her dra-

was not pretty blush at all, and she looked

A KNOWING Doe.-The Pacific Rural
Press tells the following story Mr.. j.
W. Smith, of Monticello, recently sold his
flock of sheep to Mr.. Jared Walters, of
Pope Valley, and sent boy with his
shepherd dog Rover to help him drive them
home. 1t was distance of twelve miles
through mountainous country. On the
following day the boy returned, bringing
Rover with him. For several DAYS after
this Rover appeared uneasy and restless,
and finally disappeared. Search was made
throughout the valley for several days, and
Rover was given up for lost, when word
was received by Mr.. Smith that his dog
was at Mr.. Walters place, in Pope Valley.
He went Immediately to Mr.. Walters, and
was surprised to learn that Rover had
made two attempts to drive the entire flock
home, At one time he succeeded in driv-
ing them half way back before being over.

A CHINESE OATH-At a trial in the
Criminal Court of Baltimore there were
some Chinese witnesses, and the case was
adjourned to enable the court to ascertain
the proper form Of oath to be administered
to them. During the second session Of
the Forty-fourth Congress a joint special
committee to investigate Chinese immigra-
tion made an elaborate report, accompan
led by much testimony as to the moral
condition Of these heathens. One of the
witnesses, a Mr.. Pixley, testified as follows:
"They are utterly regardless Of nn oath.
An oath conveys to them no sense of obi
CATION to tell the truth We have burned
little paper with characters upon il; we
have brought roosters iuto our court and
cut off their heads and sworn these pagans
by their blood; we have burned red papers
with Chinese characters imprinted thereon;
we have sworn them upon our religious
works--the Bible Of both kinds, the Dou-
ayan and King James versions we have
placed their hands upon the cross, and we
have had them upliited to the Heaven
where for them there is no God, and still
we have been unable TO obtain the truth.

all our professional men is that the Chinese
conscience knows no such thing as an
obligation to tell the truth"
