New YORK, July 14.-The National DEM
ocratic Committee, on reaching Mr.. Til
denis residence in Gramercy Park, were
received by Mr.. Henry Tilden, the Gov
ernor's brother, Senator Herman, Augustus
Schell, and others. When Mr.. Tilden ap-
peared, looking exceedingly well, Senator
Barnum said the committee charged with
the duty of informing Messrs. Hancock
and English of the high trust which has
been rendered them, and which they have
accepted, would but half perform their
duty if they did not come to pay homage
to him who, by a large majority. was
elected four years ago. Your noble self
denial in laying down all your claims to
the exalted office of President of the United
States, because you did not desire civil
war, does not detract in any way from your
noble and straightforward character.
There is still another act of patriotic self
denial on record in your favor, and that is
relinquishing all the just claims which you
had on the people of the country for a
second term. For these acts Of self-denial
and patriotism the Democracy of the

that your life may be prolonged for many,
very many years, and more particularly
that you may live to see the country and
constitutional government relieved from
the many membranes heaped upon the
masses, as well as the rectification of the
basest of frauds perpetrated upon the peo-
pie by the overwhelming defeat next No
vember of the Republican party. l speak
not only the voice of this committee, but
the voice of the Democratic party through
out this broad land, who unite in paying
you homage simply because of your patriot
ism, virtue and exalted craftsmanship. We
know that the country and the constitution
would have been as safely guarded by you
as by Madison, Jefferson or Jackson, had
you been installed as President.
The speaker here read the resolution in
reference to Mr.. Tilden, passed by the Gin
cinnati convention, and said it expressed
the feelings of the entire Democracy. Mr..
Tilden replied: ] thank you for the kind
terms in which you have expressed the
communication you make me, the solution
of which enables the Democratic party OF
the United States to vindicate the right of
the people to choose their chief magistrate;
the right violated in 1876, and at the same
time releases me from the burden of the

most agreeable to me. My sincere good
wishes and cordial cooperation as a pri-
vate citizen, will attend the illustrious sol
der whom the Democracy have designated
as their standard bearer in the Presidential
canvass. l congratulate you on the favor
able prospects with which that canvass has
been commenced, and the promise it af-
fords Of complete and final success. The
committee then withdrew.

A MOb-Citizens Indignant.
ATcHIsoN, Kan, July 14.-C. H. Peck,
the contractor for the excavation of the
packing house Of VIM. Smith, East Atchi-
son, having engaged several colored men
at 81 .25 a day, a drunken mob, armed with
revolvers, made their appearance on the
spot yesterday and compelled them to quit.
From there, the crowd increasing, they
proceeded to the brick-yard, where seven
colored men were employed, and compelled
a suspension OF all work, and drove the
colored men over the river. The mob then
numbered several hundred, and was ad-
dressed by the Mayor of Atchison and
others, urging peace and order, but with
out avail. The colored drivers of the
transfer teams were compelled to turn back
over the bridge, and the colored porters of
the various freight depots, and other
darkeys were hunted up and sent over the
river. The authorities, finding all their
efforts to quiet the mob useless, telegraphed
Sheriff Spencer, Of st. Joseph, to come
and exercise his authority, but he refused
to come. Thu mob now has possession Of
East Atchison. and defy the law and mill
tia. The people Of Atchison, who are
largely interested in industries, are indig-
nant at the disgraceful proceedings, and
unless the officers of Buchanan county do
their duty by to-day, they propose to take
a hand in the proceedings themselves.
