liz the suit brought against Samuel J.
filden to recover certain sums alleged
10 be due from him for income taxes
during 1868 TO 1873 inclusive, over and
above amounts paid by him, IA motion
was made in the United States district
court few days ago, by Tilden's coun-
sci, for bill of particulars. Judge
Choate, on the 21th, made an elaborate
decision in the matter, and says the mo-
of practice relating to the matter to bills
OF particulars. After abiding to the
objects of the bills of particulars, he
said the government is not
presumed to know what every mans in
come il; still less, the several parts Of
which it is made up. Every mau is
presumed to know these things with en-.
tire certainty While the officers Of the
government may have such crcditable in
formation as to tax payers income as
makes it proper 10 bring suit and re-
cover excess OF the income tax due about
that paid, that information may not
be so specific or detailed rs to enable
the district attorney it, advance OF
trial to set forth the items going To
make up the income with that certainty
required of the bill of particulars. He
further says the proof is the plaintiff is
unable to furnish such bill, nor is it to
be Inferred from this fact admitted by
the district attorney, that this suit is a
mere Fostering suit, brought for general
inqusition imo the private affairs of
defendant, rs suggested by the counsel
for defendant, who urges that court
showed by granting this motion of dis
continuance Of such suit.
TIE following is the speech Of Cen
Grant made in san Francisco on the
9th TO the confederate soldiers; Gen
tlemen 1t has afforded me great salts
faction and pleasure 10 observe the very
cordial reception | have received here,
and especially the welcome coming from
the gentlemen YOU represented. Ii you
had travelled around the world rs | have,
for several years past, you would APP
preeiatc, like me, the value of our
common country more completely
than any man who stays at home
You would be everywhere grauticd
to see that we are recognized
by all the nations of the earth in a
higher light than our people imagine.
Abroad Gur resources are considered un-
limited. When one gets 10 see the M.
tions of the world he begins to appre
ciate and incstimablc value of our broad
acres and the great energy Of our people
that is forever unbuiluing in state city,
and town 1t affords me very great sat
islacton and pleasure to receive the
gentlemen who were, long ago, opposed
to us, and | hope if this country ever
sees another war we shall all be to
gether, under one flag, fighting a com
mon enemy"
