The Tribune is still at it, and now exposes
the attempt to pervert the popular will in the
State of South Carolina. Failing in Oregon
and in Florida, South Carolina was taken in
hand and the plotters of Gramercy Park bid
up to $50, 000 Some how the offer came too
late, but that it was made, and that too with
the knowledge or assent of Tilden himself no
one who reads the translated kilograms can
for one moment doubt. And In further proof
of their authenticity, soma cipher dispatches
written in the same cipher, to and from Mr..
Tilden's attorney in New York, advising the
theft of the books of accounts of Tilden's iron
mine In Michigan in the suit about his delin.
quent income tax, have been seized and the
key of the cipher is in the control OF the
court. So the use of the cipher is traced oil
rectly to Tilden, since his lawyers must have
obtained it from him. These revelations seem
to have given deathblow to "Fraud agita-
ton. But it is deplorable that such things
should be proven against man whom the
nation narrowly escaped having for it's Presi-

of Hunterdon show their disgust of fraud and perjury.
by getting rid Of some o. the men on s5er ,lskes
CAUCUS and who nevertheless used money layshly and
corruptly.-LambertuMe Record
We have been foolish enough to expect bet
ter things of the Record editor than the ut
terance of snch unwarrante0 charges as are
made in the foregoing paragraph, but we see
that we reckoned without our host. That
any gentleman nominated by the Democrats
at the recent Caucus owes his nomination to
fraud and perjury we unhesitatingly deny.
The Republican organs are evidently in great
distress, when they need to desce nd to the
publication of such abusive charges against
honorable men. 1t is pitiable to witness the
grovelng in filth Of journal which claims to
be decent. An opposition paper is expected
TO thrash, if it can, its political opponents,
but respectful argument and not baseless cal.
umny are supposed to be employed by fair
men. If the Record has no better fight than
this to make we advise it to throw off its
gloves and retire from the field in dishonor
and disgrace. The Book speaks a word to
those who bear false Witness and who reyile
their brothers. -Hunterdon Democrat.
The editor of the Hunterdon Democrat
doesn't know what he is talking about We
do. We reiterate the charge that most of the
Democratic candidates before the late caucus
(some of whom were nominated) used money
directly or indirectly to obtain the nomination.
These same men swore that they would not
do so-therefore, they perjured themselves.
The editor of the Democrat may profess to
disbcleve these charges, and call them SLAM
ders but we judge from what we saw with
our own eyes, and have heard from respect
able Democrats. In Lambertyille, there was
scarcely candidate who did not either per-
sonally or through friends spend money plen-
tifully to further his interests. A number of
men who make it trade to fleece candidates
obtained sums ranging from So to $50 to
"work up" the interests of certain office
seekers The bar rooms were full of hard
drinkers and the hotel porches gave unerring
signs that caucus was about to take place,
by the druaken and degraded class which
filed them. Since the caucus, these men
have disappeared We do not suppose there
is an intelligent Democrat in this city who is
not fully satisfied in his own mind that can
didates with perhaps two exceptions) wilfully
and in direct violation of the caucus rules,
used money to influence votes.
We intend to SANDER no one. The truth
compels us to stand by our charges

Washington dispatch says The Pres
ident, in an interview yesterday, said he would
protect the colored race In the enjoyment of
their rights to the utmost of his power. No
effort would be spared to execute the laws eff
ficently, and vigorous measures would be
taken to bring the transgressors to justice. -
The President was very emphatic in these
declarations as to his course in the premises
He next spoke of the Attorney Generals let
ter to the District Attorneys of several South
ern States, and said that he believed the in
structions therein contained would be zeal
ously complied with by the officers concerned
The President appeared to entertain a deep
rooted aversion to the employment of the
army for the purpose of executing the laws,
and said that military force would not be re-
sorted to except in cases where the employ
ment of such force might become an absolute
necessity. He expressed confidence in the
ability of the civil authorities to enforce the
laws, unaided by troops, and had no doubt
that the District Attorneys and Marshals
would discharge their duty to the satisfaction
of the public. Abiding to the threatened at
tack on the colored people in Tensas parish,
La, the President said he understood Gov.
Nichols was sincere in his intention to pre-
serve the peace, and to call out the State mi
litia, If necessary.

THE MYSTERY UNRAvELED.-lt has al
ways been mystery why the Democrats, al
ter manifesting SO much anxiety to get pos
session of the electoral telegraphic cores
pondence after dragging the late Hon. VIM.
Orion, President of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, before the bar of the House
ostensibly for that purpose, and after the ex-
ecutive committee of the company had con-
cluded to surrender the dispatches, suddenly
dropped them and their examination as
though they were singing reptiles.
About the end of December or beginning
of January, 1871" says Mr.. Hewitt, g when
William orion, then president of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, was charged with
contempt for refusing to produce dispatches
relating to the canvass of the vote in the
Southern States, he came to my house and
dined with me. The object of his visit was
to persuade me that it would be wise for the
Democrats not to compel bin to deliver up
the dispatches, and he assured me that they
would lead to revelations of facts unknown
to myself and other Democrats, which would
be very damaging to the Democratic party
told him had no knowledge of such dis
patches and was surprised to find him so So
licitous for the welfare of the Democratic
party. What would you say he answered,
IL should show you one of those dispatch
es that have in my pocket-book
The dispatch he read to me had reference to
the negotiations for the Democratic purchase
of an electoral vote in South Carolina.
Mr.. Orion explained how it came into his pos
session. One evening shortly before mid
night, prominent Democratic politician re-
ceived a cipher dispatch from South Carolina
at the telegraph office in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel He sat down at one of the tables,
pulled out his key, and made a translation of
the cipher. few minutes after midnight, as
the office was being closed, he hastily gather
ed up few papers on the table and went out.
His translation of the cipher happened to
drop on the floor. The operator picked it up,
read it, and Immediately started for Mr.. Or
toms house with the cipher dispatch and the
translation, and rung up the president Of the
Western Union. Mr.. Orion took the papers,
and told the operator to go home and never
open his lips to single human being in ref
erence to the incident. He said my eyes were
the first to see the dispatch after it came into
his possession"
Will the people of the country look at this
most extraordinary testimony from this emf
nent Democrat and who was at the time the
chairman of the Democratic National Com
mittee. 1t is no wonder now that the Demo-
Gratis dropped the investigation of kilograms
so suddenly. The mystery is explained. The
most infamous fraud that any set of men
ever perpetrated or ever attempted to perpe-
trate has been unearthed by the New York
Tribune.

anything about finance, but that so far as he
could see the "redeemable money theory

Fridays New York papers contain card
from Samuel J. Tilden, denying all knowledge
of or completely in the secret cipher dispatch
es that passed between his friends in 1876 in
relation to the purchase of electoral votes in
South Carolina and Florida. Mr.. Tilden says
that he has read the translations of these dis
patches published in the Tribune, and has no
other knowledge of their existence or pur-
port. The card is general plea of " not
guilty to the imputations of corruption in
connection with the Presidential electoral
vote. But while Mr.. Tilden thus endeavors
to clear himself of these fraudulent and cor
rupt acts, he does not tell the public who did
commit them. The facts exist that bargain
was made by Mr.. Tilden's closest and most
trusted friends to pay large sums of money
for certain electoral votes in South Carolina
and Florida that the negotiations were d-
rected from the New York end of the line by
Tilden's own nephew, who lives in TIlden's
own house, to which many of the secret tele-
grams were addressed that no other person
interested in the result could command the
large amounts of money demanded by Smith
M. Weed and " Moses y and that to this day
Mr. Tildcn uses in his income-tax suit and
other distant transactions the same cipher in
which this corrupt correspondence was hid
den. These circumstances Mr.. Tilden does
not attompt to explain, and they tend strong
ly to cause general doubt of the candor of
bis statement 1t comes too late, and with
too many reservations, to convince any but
those who were before eager to protest his
innocence. He has certainly not been able to
satisfy the general public upon this point as
the comments of the press already show. If
Tilden did not furnish the motive and the
means for all this occult business, who else
did If he is really as pure and innocent as
he would have the country believe, he knows
well that it is in his power to compel the Tri-
6uae to prove or withdraw its imputations in
very peremptory manner.
