as to include it among his bachelor fussiness
and crochets, of which be has number.
For instan ce, he has long been noted among
his acquaintances for his antipathy to UNI
brellas and canes He never carries either
Article. He has been heard to say that if he
gets his hat or his coat wet, he had rather
throw them away and get new wearing ap-
parel an be bothered with an umbrella.
Another popularity Of his (to descend to the
minutest of triviaties) is that to every new
pair of pantaloons he has p .ir of suspenders
firmly sewed, and thus avoids good deal of
tother with buttons
All great men have their little weaknesses,
and the particular weakness of Mr.. Tilden
may be said to be in the direction of clothes.
He has good many Of the English ideas on
the subject Of dress, and, like the aristocrxtic
sprigs abroad, who array themselves in six or
seven different suits . day, redressing for
very meal, donning one sort of conventional
attire for the hunt, another for the seaside,
etc., Mr.. Tilden has vivid notions of the ap-
propriatenes of his apparel for the varying
duties of the day. Latterly, however, be has
not been so scrupulous in this regard as he
used to be before overtaken by the feebieness
of old age. But he has always been one OF
the best patrons ofthe tailor in New York. l
was shown the other day the books of very
fashionable uptown tailor for 1871, and Mr..
Tlden's name appeared in them for bills
amounting to $1,000 in that one year. In his
relations with ladespeople Mr.. Tilden may
be described as one Of the very best patrons
in America of the book publisher, the tailor,
and the grocer. lie is master OF menu.
Dining with him is fine art. He loves tie
pleasures of the appetite; thinks that the lat
of the land aud the fruit of the vine were
made to enjoy, and has them in protusion.
He is at the same time scrupulousy regard
ful for his health, and if it not be too para
doxcal he may be called ofthe hygienic
bish-liver. He is belieyer in the Hutritive
qualities of alcohol. He seldom or never
drinks whisky, but is a connoiseur in wines,
and uses them freely.
Owing to the Improvements that are max
ing in his city residence, he has not yet
moved in from his country seat at Graystone.
! He will return to u Gramercy Park early
next month, and, with his widowed sister,
will resume the dispensing of the liberal hos
| ritality with which he enterlains those whom
he admits to his more intimate friendship.
He is in very fair health, although rather fee

determination of living as quietly as possible,
that he may prolong his life and the enjoy
ments best suited to his tastes as long as he

'TELEGRAMS
The Tribune's Leader.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.--To-morrow the Tri-
bune will have this leader: The Irish land
court has given during the past week une-
quivocal indications of the spirit in which it
intends to administer the land act. Justice
O'Hagans definition of a fair rent is such
rent as will enable tenants to live and thrive.
This was laid down at the opening of the
court fortnight ago and has since been ap-
piled by assistant commissioners at Belfast
with startling results to the rents on the
Crawford estate and on the corn and money
tenant estate at Dundelgall, both of which
may be called rack-rented and in both of
which tenants received an average of one
third. The commissioners expressly said
neither estate had been managed with the
liberalty expected or usual with Irish land
lords; hence the reduction is greater than
the pi obable average, but these cases afford
an example of what will happen to rack
rented estates generally. In both cases the
commissioners personally examined minutely
the properties. There is no reason to sup
pose that this decision will be reversed if ap-
pealed from, nor is an appeal expected. The
decision of the commission respecting i'm
provements is regarded as still more formida-
BILE to landlords. 1t substantially declares
that Improvements shall be presumed to have
been made by the tenant unless the landlord
can prove to the contrary. Tbs reverses
completely the presumption supposed to have
been created by the act and shifts the burden
of proof to the landlord, disregarding even
express contracts between the landlord and
tenants under which the improvements be-
came the landlords properly. The result is
that in fixing judicial rent such improve
tnents, which in many cases cover large por-
tons of the property, will be considered as
forming a part OF the capital in which the
landlord is entitled TO receive rent. The
decision has produced something like con-
and will certainly be appealed from through
every act and word proceeding from the land
court indicates that it is disposed to hold to
this sweeping principle. The effect is an
| enormous increase in the business of the
court, which, before This decision, had show ed
signs of getting unmanageable. Applications
pour in by the thousands. The .l.pacuers are
beginning to claim this as the result OF theil
new pol cy. Being unable 10 prevent ten
ans from resolting to the cout, they no"

The Attorney-Gsneral's Reply.

Whenever a man who is important, Vi
something he has done, or intimate to the
public something that he intends to do, he
tells his story to newspaper reporter, who
puts it into cold type as coming from "an in
'timate frend' or "one who has been ac-
quainted," and so forth. 1t would not COM
port with the dignity of the man who is, or
thinks he is, important to address the public
himself.
1t is to this stale trick that Attorney Gen.
eral MacVeagh has resorted to answer
Truths editorial of day before yesterday. In
a telegraphic dispatch from Washi 'gton, pub
lished in Yesterdays Times, the correspond
ent Oft that paper gives a conversation of the
Times correspondent with ga gentleman who
has been fully acquainted with the Attorney
Generals positon," who is, of course, the
Attorney General himself.
lu this way the Attorney General lays be-
fore the limited portion Of the community
which constitutes the readers of our sta, ta
cotemporary his excuse for endeavoring to
shift the responsibility OF the inevitable de-
feat of the Governmentin the 81 ar route trials
/ from his own shoulders to those of the Presi.

ones mentioned in this interview. The in
ference is irresistible that they We're the self

Confederate Bonds

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The Confederate
bonds held by the U. s. Government, wit
about $50, ,0Oo, ,0OOof Confederate notes, which
are among the abandoned property of the re-
bellioD, has just been ;cou nted, showing til
bonds amouct to S2,0OO,0OO, duly signed and
in precisely the shape of the bonds now be-
ing sold. 1t is not intended to sell them
nor could 1t be done without the sanction of
Congress. Many millions of the Confeder-
ate notes were cancelled, but many also were
in use at the end of the rebellion, besides
there is large issue of Confederate certif-
Gates of Indebtedness convertible into Con-
federate bonds or money. Officers of this
division of the treasury don't believe there is
any balance IN England belonging to the
Confederate Government. Mason and Sill
dell's letters in this department show they
were constantly begging for money up to the
collapse of the Confederacy. Higher Treas
ury officials, however, say there is a balance
in the Bank of England which Secretary
Sherman two years. ago contracted with
Banker to collect for the U. S.

Blaine'S POlicV Criticised.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The SldnQUrd, COM
men,iug on the alleged protest of Blaine
against any annex alton of Peruvian territory
by Chill, says: Considering the crcum-
stances existing in South America it would
be simply offering premium for aggressive
combination if annexation We're recognized
as the right of the more powerful so far,
therefore, Blaine has acted with a vigor
which ought to commend itself to the world.
But if he is not misinterpreted, he seems to
aim at constituting the United States arbiter
of the policies of the whole American conti-
nent. In view of the great colonial interests
of England and other powers such preten-
sion, if ever meant will be seriously antag-
onized, is inadmissible. Nothing is more
calculated to excite the susceptibities of
South American republicans. The United
States and Other foreign governments have,
however, right to protest against any Eu-
ropean power gaining farther footing on the
continent of America.

MINING PROMOTERS"
A Glass Of Geniuses Described by a
New York Paper.

One of the most interesting studies, says
the New Y York Stock Report, connected with
the mining interest is the mine ''promoter."
He is always bringing some wonderfully good
Thing before the public, and seems never,
even by accident, to get hold of property
which is ,.Ot true Hssure, Or does Lot assay
high, or has not everything that good mine
needs-mll sites, water rights, and all excess
of timber. The vein always improves as
depth is obtained. The mine has always
Welded very largely under the greatest di----
Guilty. The mine promoter does not contine
his enterprise to any one locality. His bene-
ficent projects are not clrcumscriDed to any
particular soil or climate. One day he an
nounces that he intends to tap Nova Scotia,
and the next Mexico. The mine promoter
succeeds in floating some portion OF the stock
of numerous mining companies, capl-
talized way up in the millions, with
A very trihing expenditure of his own cash
Eyerything depends on sales of stock, from
the purchase OF alleged mines to the adver-
tisemeuts in the papers. All the im'uense
wealth suddenly created on paper, sp'4nglng
up, as it were. in a night, is the result OF
"cheek" chiefly, combined with wind. The
quantity of the one and the force OF the 9TH
er, being directed on al unsuspectng pup
lie, induces purchases OF stock, and that Is
all the mining promoter needs TO keep going
ad intinitum. We know of mine promot-
er, who, two or three years ago, made the
pursuit of free lunch study, endeavoring
to avoid too frequent visits to the same place,
W. O is now considered millionaire mine
promoters and the press teens with his various
projects. The mine promoters heart is set
on developing the mineral interest Of the
country, and the country, we suppose, should
be thankful that her patrons in this line al
ways find something good wherever they
strike.
