West Cornwall.

The concert given for the benefit of the West Cornwall Cornet Band, was very pleas ant entertainment The instrumental pieces rendered by Miss Mary Hart were executed in an effective and accurate manner and were highly appreciated by the audience. In the opinion of your correspondence the singing of Miss Hyde, of Lee, Mass, was the most at tractive feature of the evening. It show ed natural talent, and thorough cultivation. The pleasure given was doubly enhanced by her distinct pronunciation; and the enthusi- asn with which she was repeatedly encored testli1ed to the true enjoyment of the audience. There was feeling of disappointment at the non-appearance of Mir. T. R. Baldwin, who was to take a prominent part in exercises. The Bass Sole sung by Mir. Niles Scovll was soul-stirring, and the full deep tone given to the lower notes reminded one of the distant roar of Niagara-a style peculiar to himself Ills friends win recognize the comparison. The entertainment closed with two pieces by the band which were very creditable to their ability and drill. The receipts at the door were twenty-five dollars.

The Cipher Dispatches.

The evidence seems to be now in regarding the cipher dispatches. It is acknowledged by Mir. Weed, Democratic manager in South Car olina, that he was in treaty with the Republi- can returning board of that state for the pur- chase of their decision in favor of MT. Tilden. He came on to Baltimore in company with an agent of the board to meet Mir. Pelton, and to pay over the $S0, 900 consideration agreed up- on. The matter then coming to the knowledge of Mr. Cooper and of Mir. Tilden, for the first time as they say, they put stop to the infa- nous transaction just as it was about to be consummated. The first point to be considered, as regards the truth of their story, is whether the treaty was broken off from the Democrat ic side All the witnesses thus far examined swear that such was the case and there is no testimony yet adduced to show that the cor rupt bargain failed through any opposition coming from the Republican side. We think, therefore, that it is only just to Mr. Tilden to concede that the affair was stopped through his refusal to sanction it.
 Must we therefore conclude that Mir. Tilden was as innocent as he claims of all Knowledge of the pending treaty; or that, on mature de- liberation, he came to see that the negotiation was one that involved so great risk of expos ure, that It was plainly unsafe for him to as- sent to it. The bias of partisanship, the in- timate relation existing between Tilden and Pelten, and the important political powers al- lowed the nephew by his uncle both before and after the affair, will incline most Repub- licans to believe the latter view to be the cor rect one. Democrats will no doubt incline to the more charitable opinion. The results of the disclosure will be, in any event, to retire Mir. Tildeu from active political life. The Democracy will hardly think it wise to offer as presidential candidate man upon whose good name so deep shadow of suspicion rests as has been left by the disclosure of these cipher telegrams' upon that of Mir.
