Bayn If Mr.. Tilden couldn't raise the
money at once, why didn't he pawn a
railroad or twoP
Ba~ 1t appears that Mr.. 1ilden didn't
know that Pelton was doing anything,
until he discovered that it would cost
too much. ....
Bar Mr.. Tilden's friends will run
him for the Presidency in 1880 if they
don't forget it. Their memories are not
to be trusted Chicago Times.
BS~ Mr.. Tilden acquired his purity
of heart and the simplicity of his ma
ture in wrecking railroads and cheat
| ing the Government out of income
taxes.
Bay The friends of the Southern war
claims are willing to let the subject
drop for this session. The next Con-
gress will be Democratic in both
branches, and there will not be so many
distractions in the way to the Treasury
door. Procrastination is the Bourbon
policy Cincinnati Gazette.
Ba~ These Southern speeches mean
that the South, while pretending to
abandon the war claims, will press
heavy subsidies for so-called improve
ment schemes, and will demand North
ern Democratic cooperation as the
price of Southern Democratic solidity
and fidelity. AIbGfgy Journal.
Bas~ His studied attempt to throw
the whole responsibility of the cipher
dispatches on his confidential mana
gers, and his malicious remarks that
Pelton's habits of mind and his own
were very different, show Tilden to be
| a hypocrite and a sneak, as well as a
corruptionist. indianapolis Journal.
Ras- Southern Democracy proposes to
reassert itself, not only as the intellec-
tual force and political strength, but as
the actual governing power of the party.
If it comedies anything to the Northern
| wing it will be as an eXpediency, not as
| a right, and if Northern Democrats do
not like it they are politely requested to
say what they are to do about it and
where they are going. Cincinnati Com
nsercjGL Ind. Rep.
D9s~ General Bragg, of Wisconsin, and
Mr.. Landers, of Connecticut, have had
the misfortune to incur the disapproval
of our esteemed contemporary, the
| World, as well as of the more impulsive
of the Confederate Brigadiers. At pres
ent it describes them as " men who call
themselves Democrats" and accuses
them of demagogical dishonesty and
impertinence." Yet these Representa-
tives have only expressed the opinion
that it would not pay to hire the Solid
South to stay in the Democratic party
| by giving it the run of the Treasury
N. Y San.
Bas~ If the South was right in the Re-
bellion, as it contends it was, and SUBJ
mitted to the conquerors only as the
conquered submit, would it be consist
ent in that section when it gets into the
place of the conqueror, with the purse
strings in its hands, to reimburse itself
to the extent of equalizing the losses of
the two sectionsP If, having got into
power, it should proceed to do that,
what could the people of the North do
about it? The South would then, in
addition, be in position to secure
| through legislation what it lost on the
field of BATTLE Cincinnati Gazette.
Ra~ The Southern Democracy are
content. They have discovered that
General Bragg, who fired bombshell
into the Democratic camp on the SUBJ
iect of Southern claims, is not "pure-
blood" He was Union officer in the
war, and was once a Republican; and
of course nothing better was expected
of him. They deny his Democracy
now, and suggest that he be less free in
his speech, and that, being a babe in
Democracy, he must tarry in Jericho
till his beard grows. The debate of
last Saturday reminds one of the old
crack of the slave-driver's whip over
Northern doughfaces. The old fire re-
mains. Philadelphia Press.
RE General interences from cipher
investigation: "We went South to
look after Florida, North and South
Carolina. Nobody sent US. We found
the price of States in the market. Tele-
graphed quotations North. This was
not business. No; by heaven! no. 1t
was the alarm-bell. l went South to
ring it. The first alarm sounded $780,
600. My whole soul revolted at this
transaction. Pelton muddled things.
l can't tell what he muddled, but he
muddled. | am not a medium. l mean
l was not medium for the people of
New York in buying the Returning
Board. No; by heaven, non In the
light of both these dispatches and the
Sunlight of Liberty was not medium.
l am OtbeNo-my occupations gone!
My last occupation was that of an
alarm-bell OF a danger-signal. Tell Til
den to saddle Blackstone! l destroyed
my cipher. ."-NeU York Graphic.
Bd@ After the negotiations of Messrs.
Marble, Woolley, and others to pur-
chase an Elector in Florida for Mr.
Tilden had failed, Mr.. Marble tele-
graphed to Colonel Pelton that "The
proposition failed Tell Til
den TO saddle Blackstone, that is, re-
sort to legal proceedings. Now, on the
supposition that Mr.. Tilden was in
blissful ignorance of these negotiations,
which, but for some laundering in
transmitting and translating cipher dis
patches, would have been successful
and have made the payment of large
sums necessary, how would it have
been possible for Mr.. Tilden's nephew
to have communicated the advice of
Mr.. Marble "to saddle Blackstone "
without entering into some explana-
tion of the situation which rendered it
necessary to drop proposing" and
resort to legal proceedings. The wicked
nephew must have deceived his con-
fiding uncle by relating some fiction
which would not excite the suspicion
of that good old man, who has so many
times been duped by his associates and
made to bear their transgressions.-
