EVENING SESSION

The SPEAKER laid before the House the
letter from the Secretary of State, In reply to
the resolution Of Mr. PoTTER's committee,
calling for the correspondence with Wayne
McVeagh and other members Of the commits
sion sent to New Orleans.
Mr.. BEEBE wanted to know whether that
was the document that was given to the press
| before tho House had a chance to see 1t or hear
| it readr
The papers, on molten of General BUTLER,
were referred to the select committee.
Mr. WOOD offered resolution, which was
| adopted, extending the time fixed for ad djourn-
ment until Tuesday afternoon, at four
| o'clock
Mr. WOOD said he thought that resolution
| would be acceptable to the Senate.
Messrs. CANNON, MORRISON, and WADDELL
were appointed the conterees Oh the post-rOute
| bill.
Mr. ATKINS reported from the conference
committee ON the legislative appropriation
| bill that they were still unable to agree. The
| only point of difference was with regard to the
pay of the Senate employees, and he for one,
| was utterly opposed to paying the Senate em-
ployes more than the House employees were
paid. He also protested against the theory
| advanced by the Senate that they had right
to say for themselves what their employees
| should receive. The House had q right to
have voice in the matter.
MT BEEBE protested against the theory
| that each House could not control the number
and salaries of'its employees. But in order to
settle the matter he would offer u resolution
| expressing the sense of the House that the
| House conference should recedo from its dis
agreement.
The resolution was adopted by vote of III
to 81.
Messrs ATKINS, DURHAM, and FOSTER were
appointed the new conferecs.
Tho Hnusa then resumed pnnsilprnt inn Of
the internal revenue bill, Mr.. CARLISLE in the
chair.
Mr. HEWITT IN. " offered an amendment
PROV iding for the establishment of bonded
ware. houses for tobacco at ports of entry
wherever the Secretary of the Treasury may
deem them necessary. Adopted.
Mr. HARRISON offered as a new section
the bill reported some time ago from the Ways
and Means Committee, providing for u tax on
| incomes.
After the amendment had been read,
Mr.. TUCKER expressed the hope that it
| would not bo adopted, for its effect would be
to jGopardiae other portions Of the bill and pos
sibly to kill it,
The amendment was 'rejected-yeas 0i /;
nays, l39.
A motion to strike out all of the remaining
| sections which related to stamps was rejected

WHAT THEY ARE FIGHTING FOB.

In view of the events of the past week-to
say nothing of what is to cOme-it becomes
of special interest to note just what the Demo-
Gratis in this State are fighting for Here it is.
This resolution is the cardinal plank in the
State platform, adopted by the convention
under the leadership of the Hon. Smith NJ.
Weed, who was the personal representative of
Governor 1ilden, at the Syracuse Democratic
Convention no longer ago than the 26th Of
September last:
Resolred That by infamous conspiracy Of force and
fraud the high officials and unrepudiated leaders Of the
Republican party annulled aud reversed the Nations
choice for the Presidency, and put defeated cand
date III the chair Of Washington and cheated the people
OF that reform of the Federal Government which their
ballots had demanded and ordained and it the stern
resolve OF the American people that such fraud has
been perpetTated for the last time.
This Is very good reading for these times,
and is an excellent thing to remember. So
far as the Democrats could fix it, fraud is to
be the issue of their campaign in this State.
On the fraud issue, then. let the trial proceed,
and judgment be entered.
New-York tribune., 1878-10-12
Call TIE DEFENCE!

THE TRIBUNE has now placed before the
people a mass of proof as to the doings Of
Mr.. Tilden's agents in Florida. That the
evidence is terribly strong no one will deny.
The absolute silence Of those who for any
reason wish to believe it untrue bears witness
to its power. Journals which secuted the
forthcoming revelations at first, including
some which have supported and defended Mr..
Tllden hitherto at all lengths, now declare
| that silence on the part of those who are i'm
plicated is equivalent to q confession of guilt
| There are others, however, who still wait for
some answer. The Herald, which recognizes in
a powerful article the force of the proofs sub
mitted thus far, and the immense political
importance of the issue raised, nevertheless
suggests, as reason for the silence OF Mr..
TIlden and his agents, the answer OF the
Irishman to the question, Guilty, or not
"Guiltyf" "Begorra, how can Toll I'LL
"hear the evidence
But we must tell those whose characters are
chiefly at stake that no such reply will serve
them This is no case for fOOling. The
TRIBUNE has not spoken at random. 1t has
taken care to be fortified at every point. 1t
has not only given to persons implicated Op-
| again and again. before its publication OF dis
patches and since. publicly and by jealous
reporters, to place before the public any ex-
planation they have to give. They are silent.
and they best know why. They know. as we
do, what they did in Florida and South Caro-
| lima. They know of necessity, as we do, what
their kilograms reveal They have seen that
we now have in use every key OF cipher
| in which any of their messages was sent.
| But they do not know how complete our file
| of their messages is, and they are not able
| themselves to reeollect distinctly all the minor
| points these messages cover. If there is an
honest defence it can be prOffered at once !;
| but a successful defence cannot be invented
until they have before them in plain PRINT all the
pOints of the case to be covered. That is pre-
cisely what they are not going to get in a
hurry. They know the arraignment and if
they are innocent they can plead promptly.
AS to the details of the story they
! may rest assured that we shall publish so
much and at such times as may meet our
Judgment as to the public interest. We are
| in no haste as to any of 1t. 1t will
keep. If they wait for all the evidence"
they may wait forever. In the Florida case,
for example, we have told the facts as they
appear to be established by dispatches.
Enough has been told to force conviction in
every reasoning mind, if no reply be made .
Whether it will be necessary TO produce all or
any of the cOrrObOrative evidence at our dis
posal, we shall judge when any reply is offered
II none is offered, we know what the verdict
of the people will be, and 80 do Mr.. Tilden
and his friends.
Three replies are possible. The persons i'm
plicated can say that the dispatches are forged.
