Ex-Gov. Tilden has been interrogated
at the instance of members of the New
York Legislature as to the Senatorial va,
cancies, but said nothing would induce
him to consider the pla-e himself-not
even the unanimous vote of both Hous.
es; and in response to an allusion to his
restored healt !, he said it would make
no difference if he had guarantee by
the higher powers of his health till the
end of the nineteenth century. More
over, his advice had already been giver
that it was the most honorable course
for the Democratic party, to refer the
representation Of New York in the Sen
ate to the action of the people in the
fall elections.

Malone must be feeding on fine Re>
publican meat these days, for he caused
last week the arrest of citizen Of Vir-
ginia for mailing postal card to Sena'
tor Vance, with the request, "Please
send me your speech on that id dog
Malone" The man arrested was held
for sending "scurrilous matter through
the mails" 1t might be the writer only
suffered on the word DOG. But how
did Malone know Of this postal cardF
1t must have been through some P. M.
reading it, when he had no right to do
so, at least no moral right But perhaps
those fellows do not recognize moral
right nor the moral law. Of course SEN
ator Vance did not expose his friend.
These Republican officials are not to be
lightly spoken Of The old John ADJ
ans Federalists had their alien and sedi-
ton laws, and it would seem they are to
be revived, and citizens taught to be care
ful in speaking of those in authority,
Wonder if it is allowable to speak of the
Star route thieves as ID -d-dogs?"
Wonder if it is allowable to speak of the
Credit Mobilier and DeGolyer GENTLE
MEN as "d-d-dogs?" Citizens of Vir-
ginia must be careful how they exercise
free speech, and use the mails thereto.

We see in the Eastern papers frequent
references to Samuel J. Tilden in con-
nection with the New York Senatorial
vacancies. The Springfield, Mass, Re-
publican says of him;
Mr.. Til lens health is never poor eX
cept during the period preceding Pres
idential nomination. He believes in re-
form; he is able, beyond all other men,
bers OF the Democratic party, and his
integrity as a former Presidential candi-
date will hardly be called in question,
in view of some of the disclosures of
Gen. Garfeld's campaign indiscretions.
One other ex- President, John Quincy
Adams, supplemented his career at the
White House by one at the capitol, far
exceeding the former in grandeur of at
titude and force of character.
OF this the New Haven Register says;
OF course Tilden and Curtis would be
infinitely superior in ability, integrity
and usefulness to ConBling and Platt, but
it is hardly probable that Mr.. Tilden
would accept a senatorship. Two things
are pleasant to notice IN this compli>
mentary allusion to Tilden first, his ad-
mitted purity Of character; and second,
the confession that he was elected Pres
ident in 1876 by the reference to him as
an President. In view Of recent de.
velopments regarding Garfeld's charac
ter, how trivial seems the charges made
against Ii den four years ago,

rREAsuRER OF STATE.

The name of Anthony Howells ESQ.,.
of Massillon, will be presented by hit
, many friends for denomination as Treas
urer of State, at the State Democratic
convention, to meet in Columbus, July
18th.
Mr.. Howells served as State Treasure
Tor two years, having been elected on the
ticket with Gov. Bishop in 1877, getting
some 10000 majority in the state. Two
years ago he shared the fate Of the tick
ct, but even then made popular run
for he was faithful and competent State
Treasurer.
The Democrats of Stark would be well
pleased to have Mr.. Howells again on
the ticket and elected for another term
It would be an endorsement he well de-
serves.

Throwing mud at Secretary Blaine, "
is the heading Of an article in the Cleve-
land Leader of Monday, This article
shows the bitter quarrel raging in the
Republican party, The Leader thus
starts in:
Zone of the features of the Conkling
fight against the Administration, is the
contemplate camp ign of mud-slinging
against Secretary Blaine, INDUCED in by
the machine organs, and even by the
ex-senator himself"
The article goes on to exculpate Blaine
from the responsibility of Robertson's
appointment, and put it on Garfield, 1t
is evidently an interesting and very
bitter fight.

MIR, BLAINE's CONNECTION WITH
STAR ROUTE MEN.

1t is now claimed that Se3retary Blaine
hastens to deny a charge that was never
made against him, namely, that he YVES
implicated by MaCveagh and James in
the Star route business. Blaine parades
these W .lling witnesses and fellow mem
bers of the cabinet.
Mr.. Blaine seized and carried off his
own compromising correspondence, af-
ter having begged Mulligan on his knees
to save him from disgrace and ruin, and
had the audaCity to read prepared ex-
tracts from those letters on the floor Of
the House, upon which lame defence
was made. But he refused to submit
the abstracted letters to the committee
of investigation, or to any open iDspec'
ton. lie then destroyed the proofs by
which the charges were to be sustained.
How he was able as pl bile man, to
survive that scandal, and soon after to
c me near being nominated for the Pres
idency, is wonder hard to explain or
understand.
Brady and Dorsey of the Star service
ring are shrewd operators, and under
stand Themselves. They have had the
full confidence of the Republican ma
chine. The best evidence of the esti-
mate put upon the value of their sup
port in the Presidential campaign was
furnished Oy the appointment of Dorsey
as the Secretary of the National Commit
tee, and as the real manager of the
whole campaign. Again, we have the
letter of Mr.. Garfield to MY dear Hub
bell" saying, "Please say to Brady l
hope he will give us all the assistance
possible. think he can help us effect.
lively"
President Garfield knew all about the
Star jobbers investigation by Congress
last year. He was present in the House
during the discussion before the bill was
sent to the Senate, and after it returned
from that body with an increased appro'
priation. He lodged every committing
vote. When Hubbell wrote to him on
the l9.h of August, 1880, he said;
Gen. Brady of the PostoffiCe Depart
ment seems to think you do not care for
his aid, and is for some unknown reason
inclined to be cool toward you l am
satisfied that on an intimation from you
that such things would be appreciated
he would perhaps, do something. In
deed he has intimated as much to me.
That is, Hubbell said to Ga field: Bra
dy wants recognition from you, and if
you give it to him, he and the Star rou e
ring will come down Handsomely Gar

These Star route operators no doubt
know what they are doing. No indict'
ments have yet been found against them.
Mr.. Blaine's peculiar friends and most
ardent advocates at Cincinnati and at
Chicago were benefciaries in several OF
the worst Star routes.
These men stood near to Mr.. Blaine's
confidence. His late visit to Ne" York
has given rise to considerable specula-
ton, for after his return to Washington
he was Immediately followed there by
R. G. Mccormick, ono of his Star route
henchmen. Time may tell.

GEN. GRANT telegraphed from Mexico
last week: "0ur Senators must be BUS
tained." Now is Mr.. Conkling's crisis Of
his fate, and there can be no let up,
without ruin and contempt, He should
remember Martin Van Buren in lS4Si
the old abolition party, which at last
swallowed the Whig arty, and took the
name of the Republican party. Mr. Conk-
ling ehould not hesitate as he did on the
Presidential fraud during the winters Of
1876-77. He is now in the gap, and it
is, do or die.
