residence, on Colerain avenue, Twenty-fifth

gathered to offer congratulations and note
the fact that five years of married life had

wise it was sparkling with fun and fashion.
Toilets were displayed, elegant entrain, and
amidst the perfume of a thousand flowers,
all seemed again in the role of beaux and
sweethearts. Mrs. NJ, of Chase street, and
Mrs. B., of Langland street, were sought
for the dance, as though it was their debut
at sweet sixteen.
Little Ward H., the fruit of Mack's five
years experience, was cared for during the
evening by his namesake General Durbin
Ward, who was present and entered with a
zeal and spirit into the levities of the even
ing Among the other distinguished per-
sonages present were Colonel Mike Knaul
and DR.. Patterson. To the enlivening
strains of Rolls Band Judge Stubbs contin-
ued the dance into the morning hours,
when, with wishes that Mack and his bride
might live long and prosper and receive the
same guests at his golddn wedding, good
night was said, and all present thought
they had pleasant occasion to think of in
the future

Explicit Card,
Denying Generally and Specifically
All the Charges of the Cipher

Special to the Star.
NEW York, Oct. 1.-THE following is
just given to press:
CARD FROM MR.. TILDEN.
I have read the publications in the
Tribune of the Sth instant, purporting to
be translations of cipher kilograms
relating to the canvass of votes
in Florida at the Presidential cleo
ton of 1876, and have looked over those
printed in the Tribune this morning re-
lating to the canvass in South Carolina. |
have no knowledge of the existence of these
kilograms, nor any information about them
except what has been derived from or since
publications of the Tribune. So much for
these kilograms generally. l shall speak
yet more specifically as to some ofthem.
First-Those which relate to an offer pur-
porting to have been made in behalf of
some members of the State Board of Cam
vassers of Florida, to give for pecunary
compensation the certificates to the Demo-
cratic electors who had been actually
chosen, none of those kilograms,
nor any telegram communicating
such an offer or answering
such offer or relating to such an offer was
tents of it in any manner made known to
me. | had no knowledge of the existence
or purport of any telegram relating to that
subject, nor did l learn the fact that such
offer of the Florida certificates had been
made until long after the 9th of December
at which time the certificates were deliv-
cred and the Electoral votes cast. And
when the information casually reached me,
as of a past event, it was accompanied by
the statement that the offer had been re-
jected.
Secondly-As to the publications in The
Tribune of this morning, purporting to be
translations of cipher kilograms relating to
the canvass of votes in South Carolina in
1876, which l have seen since
wrote the foregoing, I can speak of
them no less definitely and positively.
No one of such kilograms, either in
cipher or translated, was even shown to or
its contents made known to me. No offer
or negotiation in behalf of the State can
vassers of South Carolina or any of them or
any dealing with any of them in respect to
certificates to the Electors was
ever authorized or sanctioned
in any manner by me directly or
through any other person. l will add that
no offer to give certificate of any Returning
Board or State Canvassers of any State to
the Democratic Electors, in consideration of
promises of Office, or money, or property,
