Mr.. TILDEN's DENIAI,s.-We give
much space in the GAZETTE, to-day. to |
he testimony OF Hon. Samuel j. Tilden |
the Congressional Investigating |
of Congress. The examina-
ion took place in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York, on Saturday. Mr. |
Tilden's denials are as strong and pointed
as language can make them. His esi- |
dence will be -ead with pleasure by his
political friends as we'll as by the better
portion of his foes. And yet even this
will not save him from the ruthless and
offensive ISLANDERS and inuendoes that are
sure to be heaped upon any gentleman
who aspires to he candidacy Of the Dem
ocratic party for the Presidency. The
scandalous course of the newspapers
;oward Mr.. Tilden shows spirit Of
hatred and vengeance on the part of the
opponents of the Democracy, that is only
paralleled by that experienced by Andrew
Jackson, and the atrocious people Who
stood in the same attitude against him,
backed up by all the banking capital Of
The country. They would have ruined
he country to accomplish their aim of
reading jackson under their feet and
aggrandizing themselves through the
success of their own schemes. And the
enemies OF the Democratic party and
samuel j. TldeB, would do the same
row. In fact the men who stole the
'resldency did it at the hazard of a civil
war at the hazard OF all principle and at
ne risk of every sentiment of honor !:
and would not have dared to have at
,.mp ed such an enormous crime had
hey not have been possessed OF all tie
,Jwer Of the army and navy, in addition
all control over the monetary power
4 the country al.o. With Gen. Sher-
man at the head of the armed fyrc, in
Washington with cannon shotted and
sword drawn, and John Sherman at the
lead Of the money power in the Senate
and soon to be in the same position il
he cabinet; wi Ii the union of the puIs,
and thQ sword in one family this terrible
,rme against the sutlra-es of the whole
people was consummated, and the man
hat was elected President by the people
was by the army, paid by the people, eN-
cluded from Washington, and his place
vas usurped by the guilty consprators
and given to another. viii the people
not ayenge themselves for this ailroDt
Aye, will they? such an outrage can
not be permitted to 60 unpunished. /
i does, why then we may look for others
II the American prope allow themselve
20 be thus assailed and th-ir unite'
voice at the polls put down by such
bald and bold act of villainy, by the dis
honorable towards that did 1t, why the
may look for military revolution soone
or later, and expect to see too Va.
party rise up in its favor for the none
that it will bring, just as this party stol
the Presidency for the high sdidrie
Offices that it put into their hands All
the hands of their friends. Such erin
was not dreamed of when the salarl,
were low, and honor formed the most a
tractive feature of the laborer in u
cause OF republican freedon. and demo
racy.


WE ARE CONFIDENT THE STATE bon,
could all be converted into four p
cent. bond, redeemable in ten years ,
at the option of the holder and in til
opinion we are strengthened, this NOR
ing, after calling ourself upon one of OF
safest bankers, and hearing his concu
renee. He did not come to us. But a
srlred us that there was little or no dom


at all that it could be done safely, al
with full indemnity against risk. TIL
is an important matter and the time


pressing. 1t is important especially


our landed interest, which would be
teen or twenty per cent. better in t


market if We had no S ate debt. A


50 long as the bonds pay SO high an


terest the debt will be kept We do l


need a sinking fund. Authority cot


be given the State Treasurer to rede,


bonds at par when presented. And tin


are always people wanting money,


that we could be enabled to pay f,


per cent. bond off whenever the hol


n:eded the money.


1t is fact that the firm of r. Il. L


inson q Co, Of this city, were told Il


could not sell city five per cent. bo


But these gentlemen sold S150,0UO


these bonds above par and had offers


amillion. A four per cent. State bt


could be sold as readily now as a


per cent. city bond was sold then. Ev


real estate holder is deeply interested


this matter. We can get honest mel


make this convers on and it should
