THE CHINESE TROUBLE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 12.-Thcre
has been no change IN the attitude of the
Washington authorities concerning the
situation of affairs at San Francisco. It
remains simply one of watchfulness and
preparation to respond to a call of the
governor for assistance to preserve the
peace in case the state forces are made
quate for that purpose. The efforts assid-
uously made by certain parties to convince
the administration that the board Of
health's condemnation of Chinatown was
merely an excuse for forcible expulsion
of the Chinese from the city, and that
therefore the Federal government, in view
of the Burllngame treaty ought TO inter
pose to preven: its execution, have failed
to produce the desired result, snd there is
no reason to believe thatthe personal rep
resentatives of the Chinese six companies
who are reported to be on their way to
Washington, will be more effectual. On
the contrary there is good reason to be.
lieve that the six companies are by no
means in favor here, even with the Chinese
legation.
TILDEN CANDIDATE.
New YORK. March 12.-Tilden was
visited last Saturday by a committee
from the local Democratic Union, and
certain ovcrtures were made to him. The
committee failed to obtain any satisfactory
results. Tilden very fully declined to be
dictated to by any body. He spoke his
mind with some freedom. In substance
his observations, from perfectly authen-
tic source, are IF anybody must retreat
it should be John Kelly, but whether lie
retreats or not is nothing to me, and it
can be of very little consequence to the
party at large. The cause which rep.
res ent is national cause ;and the princi-
pie which would necessarily be en- bodied
in my nomination, should such Ali event
occur, would be the principle that the
will Of the people as expressed at the bal
lot box is supreme and ;lnust be respect
ed There can he no retIeat from, nor
c compromise Of these positions, and so far
as am concerned they will be maintained
at all hazards"
TILDEN's TAX.
NEW YORK, March 12-Experts en-
ployed here and in the northwest, collect
ing evidence in the case of the govern
ment against Samuel j. Tilden for failure
to pay his income tax, have completed
their labors and reported the evidence to-
E. d. Webster, special agent OF the COM
missioner of internal revenue. The caoe
will he entered on the calendar Of the
United States circuit court for this dis
trict for trial. The prosecution, having
failed to elicit in full, the testimony Of
TWO or three Of Tilden's brokers and parte
ners had consented to tire delay in order
to perfect the evidence, but will now H.
sist on trial at as carly q date as practl~
cable. -
