The anti Socialist bill, as amended, was
passed by the German Parliament on the
10th. The amendments take away much OF
the severity Of the measure. The bill will
only be In operation until 1881; the severe
clauses against incendiary publications,

used against the organs Of all parties, were
very materially modified; the term OF ban
ishment for incendiary utterances was re-
duced TO six months, and the structures on
public assemblages were very much weak
ened.

cision OF the Canyassing Boards in the two

Mr.. Tilden, in attempts 10 secure one or
more Electoral votes for the Democratic
candidate for President by the use OF money.

reference to the recent publications in the
New York Tribune Of alleged cipher tel
egrams bearing upon the canvass of
the votes in Florida and south
Carolina for President in 1876.
Mr.. Tilden emphatically and unequivocally
denies all knowledge Of the existence Of
these kilograms up TO the time Of their pub
LEGATION in the Tribune, and says: "No Of
fer TO give certificates Of any Returning
Board or State Canyassers OF any State to
the Democratic Electors, in consideration OF
promises Of office, or money, or
property; no negotiation Of that ma
ture, in behalf Of any member OF such
Board, or with any such member; no at
tempt to influence the action OF any such
member, or 10 influence the action OF any
Elector Of President and Vice. President by
such motives was ever entertained, consid-
cred or tolerated by me or by any body
within my influence, by my consent OF with
my knowledge or acquiescence."

ceived certain Of the cipher kilograms i'm

October returns Of the Department Of Ag-
riculture place the average condition OF the
corn crop NJ 90 an increase OF over the
September average, and per cent. less than
in October last. The outturn Of the crop
will not vary largely from 100 ,000, 600 bush
els. October returns do not materially
change the statistical aspects Of the wheat
crop. The yield or the whole will not be in
advance Of last year, and from present indi-
cations will exceed 100000, 900 bushels. A
preliminary estimate based upon October
returns indicates the oat yield somewhat
larger than even the very fine crop Of 1877. |

ed down to the Indian Territory, and have
takep freak to go back to Dakota, from
whence they came.
Gen. Pope's official report regarding the
