New York Politics.

Hon. John Kelly, chiefsachem Of Tam
many, is inimical to Mr.. Tilden, and there
is struggle for the mastery going on in
that society. Kelly is trying to cling to
his present position and his opponents try
ing to force him out. Kelly and his fol-
lowers have undertaken to initiate l47
new adberents into that society, but Judge
Barrett has granted an injunction to re-
strain Kelly and his adhcrents from ad-
hitting the new members. Kelly attrib-
utes this act To his bette noir, Mr. Tilden,
who is resolved, be thinks, TO Gust him
and clear the way for the control of the
State Convention, aud also Of the delegates
to the Democratic National Convention in
1880.
A public meeting is shortly to be held
ut the Cooper Institute TO yindicate Mr.
Tilden from the dishonor sought to be cast
upon him BY his enemies ia connection
with the cipher dispatches, aud to prepare
an address to him assuring him Of the un
abated confidence Of his fellow citizens
A part Of the programme is to have pro
ceasion from Cooper Institute TO Gram
ercy Park, to present the address t.
Dir. Tilaep in person.

was about to make, or thought to make, was
excusahlo in his eyes; and, while he com
sEaiiied wrong, there Is to be considered, he
thought II was justifahle. The bare idea that
be saw the presidency being taken away from
the man elected BY the people, BY unfair and
illegal means, made his act seem to hiE ems
tirely excnsable. / was educated under an
entirely different order Of ethics. l scorned
TO secure my righteous title BY any such means
Colonel Pelton maybe tried and condemned,
and public opinion may punish him, but
at the same time even that fault must be jHdg-
ed Of according TO the facts Of the time; ac-
cording to what was being done and what was
done. His act was an inchoate offence, button
the other side the act which was done was a
completed and contaminated fraud, and the
possession Of the presidency Of the United
States was given to aman whoMas not elected.
Thus, the cipher telegram scandal, sum.
med up, disclosss that Mr.. Tildcn knew
nothing Of them; that certain Democrats
had been offered, for a money considera-
ton, the votes of South Carolina, Louisi-
ana and Florida, and declined to buy.
That is the whole Of the Democratic sin
ming in the matter BIT is not the fact
that the kilograms which passed between
Republicans were burned, pri'na tacis evil
dence that their contents we're damaging
to the Republicans? If not, why were
they destroyed? The object in resurrec-
ting these old kilograms was, We believe,
to damage the prospects of Mr.. Tilden,
who, it was thought, would be again called
to lead the Democracy in 1880. lie is
too strong an opponent, and they feared
that his nomination next time would be
followed by so overwhelming an election,
that not even the tricks and devices Of re-
turning boards, which money and the
promise Of Office could suggest, nor Gun
ningly devised electoral bills, would avail
to defraud the people out of their rights

Baltimore EarbOr.

The Baltimore press is earnest in its
concentrations Of Hon, Charles B. Rob
erts fer the active part he has borne in the
Committee or Commerce of which he is a
member, in procuring its assent to an ap-
preparation of 100000 for the improve
ment of the harbor of that city. The
Nelcs, of the 9TH inst. says
The thanks Of our citizens are certainly due
to Mr.. Roberts for the earnest and able APP
peal which he made in behalf OF an increase
Of the appropriation for our harbor, before
the House Committee ON Commerce Mr..
Roberts brought to the attention Of the con-
mittee such an array Of facts and figures that
they were at once convinced Of the importance
of continuing the work of widening and deep
ening the channel in our river, and determin-
ed to increase the amount to be recommended
for that purpose from $4,000 to Sl00, 600.
BY the enterprise Of the railroads which ter.
inmate in this city we have unsqualled termi-
nal facilities for the export business, but i, is
matter ofprime importance that the channel
of our river should be kept of sufficient width
and depth to accommodate the class of large
vessels which are now principally engaged in
the carrying trade between this country and
Europe. We do not suppose there is any
doubt that the amount agreed upon by the
committee will be granted without hesitation
by the House and Senate, aud Mrs Roberts
will have the satisfaction Of knowing, upon
the eve Of his retirement from public ser
vice, the dnties Of which he has always ably
and faithfully discharged, that one Of his las,
acts was the procuring of this necessary ap.
preparation for the chief city Of his State.
The american, Of the same date, saws -
Mr.. Roberts made strong argument before
the Committee on Commerce in behalf Of the
appropriation for the ship channel, and pro-
dneed such an impression that the committee
resolved unanimously TO increase the amount
to 100000. Mr.. Roberts deserves great
credit for his persistence in this matter There
was at frst disposition in the committee to
cut off the appropriation altogether; next
SEQ, 600 was allotted; then Mr.. Roberts had the
matter referred to Subcommittee, which
agreed to recommend an increase to S75, 200
The matter came before the full committee
Friday, and Mr.. Roberts made such forcible
presentation ofthe facts gathered by him from
conferences with leading business men Of this
city that the committee unanimously agreed
to increase the amount to 100000. Mr..
Roberts has shown himself 10 be most ex-
eellent representative.

The case Of the United States against
Hon. Samuel J. TildeD, to recover alleged
deficiencies in his income tax returns, was
called in the United States District Court
at New York, on Tuesday week, when
counsel for defendant announced that they
were ready for trial Counsel for the Gov.
crnmcDt said that after examining the
deposiIious opened by his Honor, Judge
ChOatc, he deemed it but just and fair to
the defendant that bill Of discovery
should be filed. Counsel for defense said
that if the prosecution thought they could
make stronger case against Mr.. Tilden
they would give it every opportunity to dc
so, and the case then went over to III,
next term.

The Cipher Telgrams n a Nut Shell.


Mr.. VIM. 7. PeltOn and Smith Weed both
testified before the Potter Investigating Com
mittee, and fully admitted their share in the
transaction. They agree that Il was well known
that the Returning Boards were in the mar
ke,, that said Boards being Republican we're
resolved to please their party by counting
their States for Hayos-right or wrong, unless
they could better please themselves by peck
citing Democratic money, aud, in defiance OF
their party wishes, give the proper count for
Tilden. In this emergency Mr.. Weed went
South and Mr.. Pelton remained in New York.
Mr. Weed learned the price Of the Boards
and agreed 10 pay H. Mr.. Pelton agreed to
raise the money. Mr.. Weed, accompanied
by a Mr.. Solomon, representative Of the South
Carolina Returning Board, came on to Balti-
more and met Mr.. Pelton. Mr.. Weed inten.
ded to pay Mr.. SOloman the money which Mr..
Pelton was to furnish, and Mr.. solomon was
TO deliver the vote Of the State for Tilden.
Mr.. Pelton applied by telegraph to Mr.. Coop
err, now Mayor of New York, for the money.
Mr. Cooper was astounded and went to Til
den. Mr.. Tilden was indignant and repudi-
ated the whole transaction and ordered Pei
ton, his nephew, home Mr.. SOloman went
back pennIless and the State vote was count
ed at once for Hayes The smut seems to
have besmirched all of both sides that is
touched except 1ildeu. All agree that at
soon as be knew anything Of the matter he
Squelehed il. Hayes confreres paid the price
OF iniamy, and he is President. Iildsn for
bade bis representatives do a wroag, and he
is not President, although elected by the peo.
pie.
Now, says the n. Y. Torid, let us see what
it all comes to The Republican boards in
three Southern States tried to sell the Presi-
deney to Mr.. Tilden and the Democratic party.
This the cipher deeiphers insist upon The
country is now assured Of this. Also, that
Mr.. Tilden and the Democratic party did not
buy the Presidency from these Republican
boards. Why noi2 Because, said Mr. Til
den ON Saturday last, the Democratic candi
date was determined to meet such degraded
condition of public affairs, not by sharing in
it in any degrees, not by acquicseuce, not by
federation, but by an unqualified and perpet-
ual protest, appealing TO the people to reAssert
and re.establish their great right--thc great
est OF their rights--ihe right without which
all others arc worthless-the right to elective
enlightenment Win the people reassert
and re'establish this great right? We think
they will.
The question which really ought to be an.
swered is, why all the confidential dispatches
gathered up by the Republican Executive
Committee from its agents all over the coun.
try were not burned, If any Of them were
burnedg There may have been no partisan
OF political motive for this discrimination, but
ours is an age slow Of belief and it will be
card 10 make the country think there was
none.

tee on the administration Of Secretary Robe

During that time material which had cost
SlOO,000, 600 was sold, and Secretary Robson
left deficiency Of S7,0S3, SOB, unwarranted
by law. Notwithstanding this immense ex.
pense the navy to-day consists Of III ships
with J, 0S7 guns, Of which "a ships with So
guns are unservieeable. The unlawful Robe
son contracts suspended by Secretary Thomp
son amounted to several millions OF dollars.
During Robeson's administration 40 vessel.
were sold and 20 destroyed, less than 10 per
cent OF actual value being realized; SG5 900.
600 were applied 10 construction, which
should have given US 20 new vessels ike the

into the market to purchase an elector or
two he would have had the Presidency.
