Another Effort 10 Drag the Old Mar
From His Retirement. r'

From His Retirement. .r'
New YoRK, April 2l.-The New York
Sun has long been recognized as the organ
Of Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden. The relations
between Mr.. Dana and Mr.. Tilden are Of
a peculiarly intimate nature, and the edi:
tor OF the Sun, as Is well known, has never
quite recovered from the outcome OF the
campaign Of 1876. MIR. Tilden,s defeat
has been assumed by Mr.. Dana as though
1t were personal grievance, and the quiet
man OF Grammercy and Greystone has
found in the columns Of the proiessedly
Independent. sheet ample opportunity for
the almost constant parading OF his "politi.
cal wrongs" during the past seven years.
For several months past, however, there
has been very little said about the "pre.
eminent fitness" OF Mr. Iilden for the
Presidency in the columns Of the Sun, the
well.known physical condition Of the
"sage" making 1t absolutely nee.
essary, no doubt, that little agita.
ton should be given subject 80 es.
sentially critical TO the person most directly
concerned therein. But, judging from the
attitude OF the Sun to-day, the time has
arrived when silence must be broken, and
this 10 presumably based upon the fact that
the great political invalid" has recovered,
and Is now ready to make onelast and de-
termined break for the prize he has 80 long
coveted and striven TO secure. To be sure
Mr.. Dana Is not at home, yet even in his ab.
sence the pronounced expression OF the
Sun upon subject SO important as Mr..
Tilden's candidacy must be accepted as the
outspoken expression Of Mr.. Dana himself,
and the determination Of Mr.. Tilden to
enter again the area in quest OF the Demo.
cratic nomination for the Presidency.

RErURNINs FROM LIBERIA.
A Party OF coiored People Come Bach
H0mesIck aud In Pltiable State.

CHARLOTTE, N. G., April 2l.-In diyis,
ion OF second.class coach OF the SOUTH
bound train on the Richmond & Danville
Railroad yesterday was group OF nine
colored people-two women and seven
children-who were Just reaching home.
They left two years ago to cast their lot on
the shores Of Liberia, a land, they were
made 10 believe, flowing with milk and
honey, and where tie only work required
10 make living was TO go out In the woods
and shake Tree, when enough provisions
would fall to make meal for family OF
ten. This was their idea Of Liberia, and
they were doomed 10 bitter disappointment
and long months Of homesickness and
weary suffering. The party got off the
at Concord, their old home. They
all belonged to the Phifer plantation,
and they were enabled to come
home through the kindness OF their white
friends in Concord, who made up suffi.
cient sum to bring them. The party were
just two months in making the journey
home, and when they arrived they were
found to be in pitiable condition. Their
feet are strangely afflicted, being swollen
to three times the usual size. Some had
lost their toes, which had dropped off as II
through leprosy. This disease Is said to be
caused by insects which attack the people
OF Liberia. In some instances these In.
sects attack the whole body OF person,
but generally they are confined to the
