city OF New YORK prepared the indictment
against Samuel ]. Tilden, because of his al
legged non.payment Of his income tax. The
trial of the case was protracted for partisan
ends for four mortal years until Han
Q cks nomination, and then Tilden deemed
q dead duck, and there being no basis for
the indictment it was dropped. Courts
ald juries were thus subordinated to par
tisan uses, for partisan ends, and the people
lost respect for the courts and for the law
as administered and it was this revolt of
people against these methods and despotic
lawless uses OF the courts by the Ad-
ministration which no doubt led to the &C.
quittal ofDorsey and Brady. The people alb
solutely forgot to inquire and did not care
whether the late defendants "conspired" to
rob the government or not, and only asser-
ted that Brewsters and the powers that he
were using the courts to compel convic-
ton. How wickedly and unwisely the
mighty Encouragement welded patronage
and gold is seen in the fact that the peo-
pie of this city who witnessed the trial and
contemplated all the horrible despotic facts
and incidents OF Its progress and the bru.
tai tyrannical methods Of the administra-
tion, send up loudest accaims OF delight
when the verdict of acqutlal was an
nOunced.
THE POOR CLERKS.
Until clerk has been drilled into perfect
oblivion of sell and lost his manhood and
become driveling machine by going over
his silly little unvarying supplying task
through weary months and years, he still
thinks little, retaining share of indiyid-
ually'and perhaps dim recollection of his
original personal independence. On no
public or political question: does clerk
dare to entertain or express an opinion.
