MR. rILDEN ~ TITNESS.

1t is reported from Washington, on the
strength of what is said by the friends Of
Mr. Tilden, that Just 50 soon as the House
instructs the Potter Committee TO investigate
the cipher telcgrams, the Gramrrcy Park
statesman will skip on to Washington with Il
large-sizcd mems cOaScia recti in his carpet
bag. On the day appointed 10 hear his tcsti-
mony on this exciting top'c he will unfuIl his
mems c9nScid recti, as Sergeant Bates used %
his flag, and march IN procession undCr its
folds, with the escort Of fife and drum, the
entire length Of Pennsylvania Avenue. The
spectacle will be much more impressive and
more inspiring than the Carnival performances
with which the completion of the wooden
pavement on the avenue was ceebrated.
A Was hngton special dispatch to Ihe
Boston HeTad says that he fully expects
"to be exOnerated from all charges
"of wrong-dOing in connection with the
" electoral count in ls7G-'7T." The same
authority has it that his friends III Wash
"ingtOn will do all they can to assist in his
exoneration, and the Democrats who are op-
"posed to hun aud wish to see him punished
" still further are bring appealed to by Mr..
"Tildens friends not to press him too hard,
con the ground that NewYOrk is essential to
democratic success III 1880, and that If the
Democrats persist III trying to slaughter and
"disgrace Mr.. Tilden hc may make Democratic
"success impossible III the next campaign
II is SAID, too, that the investigation will be
made as brief as possible, and that prominent
Democrats think il can be completed III two
weeks. The programme as here laiC out
seems so reasonable and proper that we are
quite inclined TO think there may be some
thing in it,
And yet how strangely it reads-this state
ment that &c he expects to be wholly exOner-
lated" aud that Democrats who wish to
o. see him punished still further are being ap-
"peaed to not to press him too hard" Why,
isn't this the statesman who was running for
the Presidency while ago on the platform
of - Reform and whom the entire Demo-
cratic party were sitting up nights trying to
elect to that office, just because they saw the
necessity of putting corrupt and dishonest Re-
pubIicans out of Office and putting this i'm
maculate Reformer in ii was only little
while ago that this gentleman was standing
bareheaded on his doorstep at Gramercy
Park waving his hands wildly and crying
that Fraud should never be cOndoned.n Ex-
onerated, indeed It's que,c state Of affairs
when such a man, 60 uncOmpIOmislng
in his hostility to Fraud, and so devoted
to Reform, needs to be e1onerated himself.
And queerer still that his own political friends
aud associates. the men who were lately eulo-
gizng him as the model Refomer of the age,
should have to be labO1ed with not TO press
him too hard or punish him further. This
looks very much like taking man who comes
into court bowling that he has been defrauded.

person. Not only that, but there's a suggestion
of tampering with the jury and inducing them
"not to press him too hard" because be has
been punished enough already, and II they
make him mad he will give them trouble here
after. 1t is, upon the whole, the most remark

in recent politics. to have this lately uncoin-
promising and implacable foe OF fraud tnrn
ND 70 suddenly as candidate for eXonera-
ton and VindicatiOn.
1t is to be hoped, of course, that it Is tTue.
No donbt many Democrats-though II is SAID
he has few friends in the party-would really
like TO see Mr. Tilden yindicated. They VIII

himself completely, with much the same feel-
ing that the worldly minded person had upon
hearing the doctrine OF universal salvation

only difficulty in the way of complete yndl-
cation is that some ridiculous person on the
committee NAV take it into his head to
ask Mr.. Tlden questions about his
subscriptions and payments to the com
mittee funds, and his exrenditErcs outside
of the committee for election purposes, abd
as 10 his relations with Pelton and Smith
Weed and Marble ard the rest; and 1t might
not be convenient for him TO remember some
things the committee would like to know. II
wonld never do for him TO appear on the wit

on him by the Republicans. He l. quite labl"

The address of Nh, George William Curtis,
which We print this morning, Is something
more than an eloquent and becoming tribute
to the memory of orr first poet; IT u itself
nm addition to American literature. 1t will
ha read with admiration alike for tie just
ness of its comments, the dignity of is tone,
the felicity Of IFS style, and the manly SYM
na,lv wAch SHINES through itS VIVID and
graceful phiusrs. Set rulosics arc not often
OF much value but last night We listened to
praise that was glowing without being over
strained, and 20 criticism that was cordial viii,
discrimination.
NIr. Curtis has mtfully combined, in this
oa.tiuu, l.c narrative of Bryam's simple
career with an exposition OF hi, place IN
American literature, his place in the political
history of the United States, and his ptacc IN
the public and social life Of Ncw~Nork. He
has touched with a quick yet graphic hand
the characteristics of BrylutS genius, and the
charm of his honest nature; and il Is sub
net of Generalization that the CommcmUration
has been so appropriately observed with
"tendrr reverence fur the faths7''u ou song,
with grateful homage to the spotlcss and
"rmthfal citizen. with alcc.iOuate admiration
" for the simple and upright man.

Dean Stanley did not propose to pup
lish his impressions of this country, VIII
relish all the more the double surprise ana
pleasure to be found on another page OF TINS
issue. No doubt to some the Deans address
itself will be disappointment; if the Dean
has any private views about the Hnd-
son River, or Our progress as Nauoii
in the manufacture of hOrse-cars, or the growth
of the cheese industry, he has reserved them
for his own use. As was natural 10 q
man Of his ripe scholarship, his mind dwelt
upon the historical aspects OF country
whose youth, as he well says, Is also It's an
tiquity. There could be no more eloquent trlD-
ute to the founders of the American Colonies
than that contained in this address, and no more
generous recognition of the greatness OF the men
who wrested America from the grasp OF Eng
land. With the higher aspects of the life OF
to-day also, the address deals in manner at
once cordial and discriminating. Dean Stan
ley speaks in terms of unqualified admi-
ration of the - extraordinary munificence"
shown in the multiplication OF libraries. edu-
cational institutions and the like, touches
political questions briefly and with del
lcacy, discusses the influence OF liter
ature, and then ventures to suggest
with the same kindly intent that hns
recently moved our own greatest thinker
some of the imperiections of our civilization.
The address is conceived in a spirit OF the
utmost goodwill to tins country, and
will enhance if that were possible, the esteem
IN which the Dean of Westminster is held Dy
all Americans.
