Mr.. TILDEN seems to be discouraged
about the chances of Dem ocratic success in
the Presidential campaign OF next year.
Perhaps, however, he is only playing it to
discourage other aspirants from seeking the

Tilden Discouraged.
A Gloomy Letter from the Democratic
Presidential Nominee.

A Washington despatch to the Boston Ad-
yertiser saws Mr. Tilden has been heard from
again through gentleman who has arrived
there recently and who has been quite proml-
nently identified with his political interests.
This gentleman has lately spent two days with
Mr.. Tilden at his country seat. This friend
represents him as taking very deep interest
in the reelection of Governor Robinson, and
not SO much on account of its general bearing
upon the question OF the Democratic nomina-
tion as his determination to crush John Kelly
and Tammany This friend said Mr. Tilden
was, if possible, doing more to elect Robinson
than if he were himself the candidate. His
political sagacity and experience are being
brought into full play, and he is contributing
largely from his personal means to carry out
his own plan of the campaign. lie has
made up his mind to destroy Kelly and Tam
many if it can possibly be accomplished. Con-
corning the result of the next national cam
paign, the friend represents Mr.. Tilden as
greatly discouraged, and so strong was this
feeling that he was not giving himself nearly
as much concern to secure the nomination as
the public seems inclined to believe. Mr.. III
den's reasons for not valuing the Democratlc
nomination very highly just now were thus
stated: 1.-The Southern Democracy had hahai-
capped the Northern wing OF the party W an
| alarming extent during the last two years.
| The attitude of the Southern Democrats upon
the financial question: their many plumbers IN
| Congress. their reputation of their State debts,
| their intolerance and outrageous treatment of
those who differed with them in politics, and
| Lastly the many unpunished and condoned
nolitical assassinations." All these things, Mr..
| Tilden thought lily calculated to make the
| Democratic nomination very desirable except
| TO candidate who might be content to run
| simply for the honor of leading the party in
| the race Mr.. Tilden is represented as salts
fed that he can obtain the nomination if he
wants it, but these ideas of the value OF the
| prize as given above, can be relied upon a.
correctly stated, the gentleman who received
these declarations and repeated them to friends
! being entitled to full credit.

O0LORED PEOPLE AND THE NEW CON
STITUTION,

While the demagogues and outrag Ashrek
ers OF tho Republican party are trying tx
make the colored people believe that theil
Fights and liberties are In danger and that
their only protection lies In migration tc
the iungles Of Kansas, the more tntelli.
gent 81 the colored people might protitably
employ spare hour or two In examining fol
themselves the new constitution upon which
we ate oil about to vote, and under which
they will In oil probability have to live
II they conclude to remain In Loulsi-
ana. Such course will become free
men and equal citizens better than
the servile credulity with which they now
drink every foolish and mischevous lie told
them by their leaders, and we venture the
declaration that the colored people, If they do
this, will find their rights most explicitly re-
cognized and most abundantly guaranteed.
The ''Bill OF Rights" with which the consti-
tuition Is prefaced, contains the fullest and
most comprehensive pledges that could be
desired by any man living under o civilized
government, and these pledges are addressed
to the colored as we'll as to the white man.
Nothing could be more conspicuous than the
ylgilant care which has been exercised In
placing the civil and political condition OF the
colored man upon q satisfactory and endur-
Ing basis. Indeed, as all must remember,
more than one provision (such as that OF the
poll-tax,, which is usually INCORPORATED liz
State constitutions elsewhere, was by the
Convention omitted from this, and avowedly
and explicitly SO In the colored interest.
The fact is that the colored people might
travel far and wide and, unless they preferred
to wander beyond the pale Of organized So
cfety and to abide In untrammeled barbarism,
they could find no form OF government under
which all their substantial rights are more
scrupulously provided for. They are not
only protected ID their lives and property and
in the enjoyment Of every privilege OF citizen
ship, but they are encouraged In those peace
ful arts which lead to the accumulation OF the
goods Of the world through the establishment
OF an economical system Of government, the
fixing Of a low limit Of taxation, and the crea-
ton Of safeguards against Injurious leQis-
lation or the despotic and arbitrary exercise
Of the executive authority. So far as
the adoption Of O wise and simple and en-
lightened law and its absolutely equal appli-
cation can avail, the colored people have every
reason to look forward to the future with con-
hdencs and courage. They have but to turn
a deaf year tn evil counsel, aud to bring to
bear their own Judgment and their own In
telligence upon the problem of their desti-
MES, and much II not all of the distress and
Of the past ten years will
90 at once and permanently dissipated. The
constitution has been printed In pamphlet
'orm, and is accessible to everybody. Let
she colored people read and digest 1t for
themselves

DEATH OF MRS. MARY E. GORDON.

We were inexpresstby grieved to hear OF
tho death Of Mrs. Mary r. Gordon, wife oil
our esteemed friend VIM. Gordon, ESQ, which
occurred yesterday morning at II o'clock,
after a protracted illness Of some two months.
In her death society loses one of It's brightest
and loveliest ornaments. and the. poor q
friend, whose busy hands were constantly
engaged In executing the generous prompt
ings Of heart that beat responsive to every
appeal for aid and sympathy. Her life was
made beautiful by good works, and many a
lowly home In our city was made radiant by
the sunshine Of her presence and comfortable
by her bounty, bestowed SO graciously as to
take the sting from poverty.
Religion was with her vital principle and
not misty theory, and she went about doing
good In the very spirit of the great Master
himself, whose footsteps she humbly but
steadfastly followed. Her death will be an ir-
reparable loss to her family and profound
grief to q very large circle of friends who
knew and loved her. Death Is always terri
bic, and the loss of loved ones must ever
cause profound grief, yet, when life 80
glorified by good deeds and so nearly ap-
preaching the Christians ideal closes in this
world, those who are left have much to sus-
tain and comfort them la the sure knowl-
edge Of the translation to that happier land.
where there Is neither death nor care nor auy
trouble.

San Francisco Is called "the city OF sui
cides." Its people lead fast and wild life
spend their money literally, and when 1t Is
gone launch themselves prematurely into the
next world. Suicide IS growing disease;
where 1t has once taken root 1t becomes cpl
demic and more troublesome and frequent
every year. This Is true Of Frisco. There
has been steady Increase each year In the
number Of suicides committed In that city.
For some years past these have never been
less than hundred. The present season Is
more promising than any former one, there
having been, although the year is yet far
from over, los persons successful In their at

or friends OF the paper" This Ia what they

OF friends OF the paper" This is what they
say, themselves, and they ought to know.
We confess that. to us, there Is something
very fascinating In this scheme.
It ID complete departure from the stale
and stereotyped customs OF the past, and has
In tia quality OF excitement which ought to
endear 1t to every intrepid heart. Here we
have no red-tape, no pompous announce
ments, no statement OF stock, charter, tncor-
porators directors, no names or figures no
nothingr' Our friends Of the Times simply
come out with an unpretending, 1mpersonal
proclamation to the effect that they will, after
November 10, take charge OF all tho money
people will conide to them, that they will pay
1t back when asked and will allow per
cent for the time 1t Ia held. The public are
not worried and confused with explanations
as to who Is to do all this or what So
curity is offered for tho faithful
performance of the bargain. All they
know Ia that here is an affeotionate and phil
anthropic Consolation which has seen with
grief the insecurity Of Savings Banks and
which now yearns to take their money ard
put 1t away In safe refuge. And that Is
enough What more, indeed, could any de-
position ask TO have some one relieve you
Of your cash, to pat you on the back and tell
you to call again. and, above all, to know
that the money will henceforward be held,
with firm and brawny gripe-why, this is
oil indeed. II any man holds on to single
dollar after this he Ia n driveling visionary,
or else he wants to start Savings Bank
himself.
The Times states that this proposition has
been made Eat the earnest solicitation of the
friends Of the paper" We should think So.
The suggestion could hardly have proceeded
from the friends Of any one else. And power
erful good and far-seeing friends they must
be, too However, there is no reason why
the Times friends shouldn't breach the
idea, or why the Times shouldn't put 1t In
shape. For that matter indeed, there Is
nothing to prevent people from flocking
to the Times office and giving their money to
the impersonal receivin3 teller, to be by him
dropped into the Conso ed vault, and there
to dwell, ghostly and tmpalpable asset.

nothing to prevent anything, after this.

DR.. Kenealy. who made himself famous In
the Tichborne case some years ago, Is deter
mined not to allow 1t or himself to drop out OF
notice. He has succeeded in holding an in
terview with sthe claimant" and persuading
him to become candidate for Parliament at
the next election. Roger Tichborne, or Arthur
Orion. whichever he be, was sentenced In 1879
to seven years Imprisonment for swearing
that he was Tichborne, and for seven years
additional for swearing that he was not Orion.
The first term he has already completed. The
plan Of "the claimant" Is to have hlms,lf
elected NJ. P. from Nottingham, and then
bring the question of his Imprisonment before
Parliament. It is probable that he will find
the Tichborne sensation played out" Seven
years ago England was wildly excited over it,
To-day Roger Tichborne and his claim are
altogether forgotten, and they cannot by any
trick be again forced into prominence.

TO-DAY's PRIMARIES.

We trust that every good citizen Will re-
member and discharge his duty to-day. In
the awakened sense Of individual obligation
which has latterly asserted itself In mems
minds. we are encouraged to hope and believe
that this aspiration will be realized II is at
times and upon occasions like these that citi-
zens should enter their protest against public
abuses and exert their influence for veal upon
the texture OF the government. As the prma-
ries 60, 50 goes the nominating convention,
and into the hands which obtain the ascend
ency to-day will pass the control Of the partys
welfare In this city for this campaign. 1t IL
not enough to stand scornfully aloof in this
emergency, and afterward to complain and
condemn Ii results prove unsatisfactory. The
man who acknowledges duty to society and
who feels serious interest In public affairs
should express himself and exert his Influence
to-day In this way, and In this only. shall
we reaizs the objects which oil patriotic citl-
the evils, II any exist.
1t is Of special Importance that the next
Legislature be composed Of the very best and
ablest material that can be made available.
The General Assembly will have before 1t d
work OF special Importance, OF no slight dltli-
Guilty and OF laborious volume. TO that work
should be applied oil that we have OF intelli-
gence and wisdom and firmness and Industry
The interest OF every cItizsn lies In bringing
about this consum nation, and where his in
terest ends his civic duty begins.
No Democratic Conservative voter Ia excusa-
BILE for avoiding the polls to-day. No one
who does avoid them. or who neglects any
opportunity within bis power to secure honest
and Intelligent delegates to the nominating
convention, can, with any show OF grace or
decency or reason, indulge In criticism after
ward. This has been done too much In the
past; let us take a new departure for the
futurel Let every citizen do his whole duty
with all his might. and the good fruits will
to palpable and abundant.

A VOLUNTEER SAVINGS BANK.

Our neighbours Of the Times make the public
very extraordinary, not to say startling
proposition, to wit: that they will receive and
take care Of peoples money-as much as they
can Ret-paying depositors per cent interest
and agreeing to return deposits on demand.
This seems to be an excellent enough ar
rangement for the Times people to justify
them In entering into 1t upon purely business
grounds. We know hundreds OF concerns
which are willing to receive money on similar
terms, and to make similar or even more lib
eral promises, and mighty glad and comfort
able would they feel II they could make 1t
work. 1t is, furthermore, a delightfully."- ire
sponsible and airy scheme. You have only to
publish an impersonal, CONSOLIDATED announce
ment that you are ready to take all the
you, that you will give 1t back when
ever the people want 1t, and that YOU
will pay per cent upon all deposits.
Nothing could be simpler. The thrifty thou
sand will rush In bewildering myriatls to
give their money to some one who will agree
20 give IT back to them when they want 1t,
and 10. the bank is set up In iffey.
AS we have remarked already, We should
consider this scheme attractive enough In
ltself and should be quite willing to sympa-
tnlze with the Times people In their very rea-
sonaole ambition to go into it, but they tell
rs that these are not the grounds upon which
hey proceed. No sordid element OF this kind
,nters into the Times philosophy. They are

.rofits that may accrue They are starting |
