LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Mr.. WHISTLES THAMES ETCHINGS.
To the razor Of Fhs Tribune.
SIR The object Of Nr. WhistId's letter 20 THs

When Mr.. Whistler lived IN ms house a. men,
Der Of my family Dclatre who was also there on my
business, did indeed print limited number Of inn
pressioas of such Of his Thames plates then
completed. but always supposed that these p'stcs
first published a series by Mr. Ellis. and that
he employed a steel-pate printer on the OCCASION.
However this NAV be. am of op nIon that IL was
quite open to me. 10 any one. to compare ne i'm
pressiOns of this series With the earlier trials OF
Delatre and the later proofs OF Goudng, aud tho
strength of such comparison 10 say, As did say in
the lecture correctly quoted by Mr. HameTtou. that
" steel-plate printer could not print an etching"
and that delicate, etched plate must not as
recommended ny writer IN The Pail Nal Gasettc,
be thoroughly secured with cloth!
If / understand Mr.. Whistler. be seeks TO impugn
this inference by dscredItiEg the data on which &c
was founded, 10 which end he informs your readers
that not only had more impressions been taken Of
his Thames plates both by himself aud by Delatrs
than had supposed, bat that u was not TIL sitter
their sale had been complete that the plates them
selves fell into the hands OF Mr.. Ellis. Very likely.
All have to say ia that did not know il, that
member nothing in Mr. EIliSs prospectus Of their
publication to enable to infer il. and that II had
known il it would have not altered In any way what
ever the opinion expressed IN my lecture am, sir.

TILDEN A CANDIDATE FOR RE-
ELECTIeN.

s. J. Tilden, of New York, had an
interview with General Steadmln re-
Gently. His language in that interview
il construed to mean that he will be a
candidate for the Presidency Tilden
does not say i'll so many words that he
is in the field for election, but that
is the construction given to his words
by the politicians. Although it would
be suicidal for the Democratic party to
nominate him, as New York, with it's
thirty-five electoral votes, would in
that event, in consequence of the Tam
many detection, be certain to go Re-
publican; yet it would be but simple
justice to the man to renominate him.
According to the election returns of
1876, Tilden received majority of
253, 900 over Hayes on the popular vote
for President. He had 1874 undisputed
electoral votes, but by counting all the
disputed votes against him, he was de-
feated by one vote in the Electoral Col
lege. He is said to be cold, heartless
and corrupt politician; but the fact that
he was instrumental in breaking up the
Tweed and Canal Rings, i'll New York,
aud thereby incnrred the everlasting
hate of the men who were enriched by
those plundering organizations, dis
proves the latter accusation. He was
not the choice of the SILVER STATE for
President i'll 1876, neither is he now;
yet it seems that man who received
such large majority of the popular
vote, and whose election was conceded
by Republicans, as well as Democrats,
until arrangements were made with the
Florida and Louisiana Returning
Boards to count in the Hayes electors
in those States, ought to be indicated
by being again elected to the office, of
which circumstances clearly denote he
was deprived by fraud. 1t is not
because Tilden is Democrat that he
ought to be again elected, but to prove
to the world that the American people
love fair play, and are opposed to hav-
ing men who were elected by the peo-
pile counted out by political schemers
in Louisiana, Maine or any other State.

GARCEL0N's QUESTIONS.

The eight questions submitted to the
Supreme Court by Governor Garcelon
of Maine, have been decided against
him. The Court takes a broad COM
nonsense view of the matter, and holds
that Representative is not to be de
prived Of his rights because municipal
officers have neglected their duty.
Though there are eight specific ques-
tions,- all of which are answered at
iength by the Court, the answer that
snan elected to Office by the people, is
not to be deprived of it on technical
tiles, is sufficient to settle the whole
matter. If the men counted in by the
Board Of Canvasses do not wish to
figure in history with the Louisiana po-
litical thieves. they will return their
certificates at once, and let the men who
were elected at the polls, have the
Offices to which majority of the voters
of their respective counties and dis
tricts elected them. The wrong per-
petrated in Louisiana cannot be righted
by perpetrating a similar outrage in
Maine. If men elected by the people
can be counted out by Canvassing
Boards. let us dispense with the farce
of holding elections

The President of the Capital Savings
Bank, Sacramento, says that the real
cause of the closing of the bank, was
the belief that it cannot be successfully
carried on under the New Constitution,
and the Directors are tired of working

says the bank is perfectly solvent.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

On the 18th day Of April, 1866, in the House of
Representatives, General Garfield uttered these
remarks:
1t was no man who killed Abraham Lincoln; it
was the embodied spirit of treason and treachery,
inspired with fearful and deSpairing hate that
struck him down, in the moment of the Nation :
supreme joy.
Sir, there are times i'm the history Of men and
nations when they stand near the veil that
separates mOrtals and immOrtals, time from etcr-
nifty, and men from their God, that they can al
most hear the beatings and feel the pulsations OF
the heart of the Infinite Through such a time
has this Nation passed.
When two hundred and fifty thousand brave
spirits passed from the field of honor, through
that thin veil, to the presence of God, and when
at last its parting folds admitted the martyr
President to the company of these dead heroes of
the Republic, the Nation stood so near the veil
that the whispers of God were heard by the chill
dren of men. Awe-stricken by His voice. the
American people knelt i'm fearful reverence and
made solemn covenant with Him and with each
other, that this Nation should be saved from its
enemies, that all its gloTies should be restored,
and on the ruins of slavery and treason the tenn
pies of justice and freedom should be built and
should survive forever
1t remains for us, cOnsecrated by that great
event and under covenant with God, to keep
that faith to 90 forward i'm the great work until il
shall be completed. Following the lead of that
great man, and Obeying the highest behests OF
God, let US remember that,
He sounded forth trumpet shall never call
He is sitting hearts OF before his Judgment
l
Be swift my soul TO answer Him. be jubilant my feet;
For God Is marching on"
