Among tho FIRST orders issued from
The White House by its present occu-
CANT, was one to reform the civil SER
vice by prohibiting Federal officials from
active participation in political cam
caigas and the forced collection OF as
sessments from suca officials for poll
cal purposes. The penalty prescribed
fDr the violation OF this order by Gov
eminent official or clerk was instant
dismissal from the serylee. This order
provoked comment for awhile, and was
then forgotten. Custom House officials,
Federal District Attorneys, Postmasters
and the whole army of 100000 officers
paid no attention to the mandate, which
they considered was issued only for
effect. and with no intention OF enforc-
ing it, The whole country, Republi-
cans as well as Democrats, knew that
ID was dead letter in the civil service
rules. Federal officials figured innom-
mating conventions, and devoted their
time to making stump speeches while
drawing salaries from the Government.
Department clerks testified before
Congressional committees in Washing
ton that they We're assessed for cam
paign purposes, and it was generally
supposed that Hayes, as well as
everybody else, knew that his
civil service order was wholly disre-
earded. 1t now appears that the
Rresident alone of all the people in the
United States was not aware of this

rrLDEx,s INCOME TAX SIR.

When Samuel j. Tilden, of New
York, was candidate for President of
the United States in 1875, the news
papers, which opposed his election,
charged that he defrauded the Govern
ment by not paying tax on. his income
in 1868. To substantiate these charges,
Stewart L. Woodford, United States
Attorney for the Southern District OF
New York, brought suit against Tilden
to recover the amount of income tax
which it was alleged he owed the Gov
eminent. During the Presidential cam
paign stump speakers and radical jour
mails proclaimed Tilden revenue de-
frauder, whose 'sbar'l was filled with
money, part of which belonged to,the
United States. 1t was asserted that he
would be prosecuted Immediately after
the election, and that his bar'l "
would be emptied by the heavy fines
which would be imposed upon him, and
that Executive elemsncy only could
save him from the penitentiary. Over
three years have elapsed-since the suit
against him for the recovery of income
tax was instituted. yet the case has not
been brought to trial. Tilden's counsel
have repeatedly stated ins the court, IN
which the suit is pending, that he was
ready for trial, but the United States
Attorney always asked for more time,
and his request has invariably been
granted This is unfair to Tilden, as well
as to the people. II he has defraraed
the revenue he ought to be prosecuted
and fined. He is represented as being
wealthy, and can therefore pay what
ever fine may be imposed if he is foand
guilty. II is. evident, however, that
the prosecution has no hope of convict
ing him, anil the charges which Were
trumped up against. him IN 1876 were
for political purposes. 1t IS expected
that he will again be a Presidential
candidate in,lSS0, and, as. there is no
possibility Of proving the charges
against him, it Is. prudent to. postpone
the trial until he receives the nomina-
ZION, and, if he does not receive it, dis
miss the suit. Such tactics On the part
Of the Government officials are con-
semptible, aud viii have the opposite
effect from that intended Tilden re-
eeivei majority OF quarter OF a
million of the popular vote in 1875, be-
oause the people believed that the suit
Tor. the collection OF income tax was
Brought fcr political purposes. Now,
alat the action of United States At
sorney Woodfor,ilhas proved that that
was the object of the suit. should Tilden
receive the nomination in 1880, his ma
LDrity for that reason alone ought to be
aalf million.
