The New York Times of the 18th printed
long interview with an alleged intimate
friend of Hon. Samuel j. Tilden who assert
ed that he correctly reflected the views of
MIR. Tildcn with regard to his nomination for
the Presidency. He said:
ut would be impossible for Mr. Tilden, at
this time, to stand in the way of general or
organized demand for historic yindication of
ihe great wrong and Injustice perpetrated by
The installation of Hayes as President Under
stand me, Mr.. Tilden can never be candidate
Tor Office again until the people shall require it
for the purposes ofths vindfcation. He is not
candidate. This is absolute. 1t is equally
absolute that if demand should arise spon-
taneously, and the convention should nominate
nm, ne Will not repeat the personal plea pre-
scented in his great letter to the Cincinnati con.
Vention declining the nomination."
On the other hand the New York Sun,
Which has all along been one of Mr.. Tilden's
warmest supporters, pronounces the alleged
interview bare fabrication.
In reply to this the New York Times de-
clares that "Mr, Tilden's intentions are among
the things with which the Sun is not intim-
ately acquainted; as to these it is either de.
ceived or deceives itself?"
The editor of the New York World recent
ly travelled from Yonkers to New York with
MIR. Tilden, and thinks that neither his mind
nor his body are impaired more than they
were seven years ago His memory is re-
markably retentivc and accurate, extending
to trifing incidents that one would hardly
expect him to recall. lie talked about politics.
the electoral commission, the dangers of inter.
viewing and other natural topics of n
halfhours ride. There no doubt that he still
maintains the same keen interest in an intel
llgent attention to politics and TO business -
We are inclined 10 think that Mr.. Tildcn is
not very angry To hear himself talked about
for the nomination. In fact, we rather Judge
from his healthy complexion that he could he
persuaded 10 serve another term"
Hon. John II. Read, of Philadelphia, who re.
Gently visited Mr. Tilden, declares that ''if the
Democratic and reform party would nomi.
nate the old ticket, Mr. Tilden would 30 into
the campaign with the same vigor and ear
nestncss which characterized the contest of
1876 When pressed with the question
whether Mr. 1ilden would take the nomina-
ton Gi rendered him. Mr.. Read expressed
the opinion that Mr. Tildcn would not only
accept the nomination, but would make such
IL campaign as had not been seen for many
Years."
The nomination of Mr.. Tildrn would in
our opinion, be the signal for general upris
ing OF all the friends ofgood government and
he would he elected by so large II majority
that there would be no need of resorlins to
an electoral commission to ascertain the re.
suit.

The delegation were strongly opposed to the
building of bridge 80 feet high, without a
draw, for the reason that the structure, as pro.
posed, would nearly ruin the large lumber trade
OF Port Deposit, since vessels with masts over
100 feet high equently come up to Port Deposit
and Lapidum, for lumber and grain.

which MIR. Tocuhstone, the chairman, replied
"a bridge l25 feet high or draw"
Mr.. McClennahan and Mr.. Davis also spoke
in opposition to the no.draw bridge. A letter

of the late Bishop Pinkney. The rector, Rev.
VIM. +. Brand, gave brief sketch of his life,
the facts having been derived from the Bishop
himself on the occasion of q recent friendly
visit to the Rev. Mr.. Brand.
Bishop Pmkney's mother was member Of
the Methodist society, before its separation
from the Church of England, and her son, the
late Bishop, was converted at Methodist meet.
Ing, after he had become member of the bar
He then took full course in theology at Prince.
too College, upon the completion of which he was
ordained clergyman in the Protestant Episco
pal Church He was especially noted for his
lfdenying labors among the poor, and after
bailding two churches, was called, against his
eva wishes, TO the rectorship of the Churc of
the Ascension, Washington, where he labored
antii he became Bishop. He took deep interest
ia tte welfare of the colored race and before tho
war had completed arrangements with Bishop
for missionary tour ameng the
slaves and freedmen through the lower counties |
Of the State, but was deferred by opposition |
.rising probably from want of understanding
IF the object of his proposed mission.
The speaker paid an appreciative tribute 10
Bishop Pnkney's humility, charity and devotion
o duty, drawing admirable lessons for his hear

eased Bishop. !
