Tilden for this nmount is also awong the papersof the corporation, This {s a mattor that necds both the attention and the explunation of his friends, It can not bo accounted for under the head of Jegal fees, since after bis services in inventing the method by which the Credit Mobiller Company ot posscssion of contracts, the profits of which were over $13,000,000, he dld not sppear In courts or perform aorvice elsewhere for thatrall- roul company. Gen. Butler wus engaged with him on this memorable occaston, and the Geperal,"who s noted for gathering in fat fees, on (-Jw;lzed the Compuny 85,000 e a fee, and $1,000 sdditional os expenses. In his cam, the Company disputed this charge as exhorbitant, und sent Butler 33,000, But afterwurd the re- mnining $3,000 was paid, under u threat of Bot- ler to sute for it uniess it was forthcoming, The reason nsalgned by Mr. Butler for the cha ‘was that his legal adylce had been asked In the matter of contracts involving $47,000,000 by a corporation having o capital of $100,000,000, and he deemed the churge, if anything, too small, and that it should have hoen 10,000, So Mr. Tilden's services on this ocenslon will not ac- count for tho $25,000 canli pald him ot & moch later day..

Correspondent, CLEVELAND, Aug. 14.—Thia city hus been the rallylng-polnt of the Hard-Money Democtacy of Ohio. Here have been malntained the head- quarters of the Democratic opposition to * Rixe- Up” Willlam Allen and the Clnclonat! Enguirer Rag-Baby crowd. True, it has never been a plucky opposition, sud from hence fuvariably hus goue forth tu be beaten o the party<oun- cila by the Rag-Repudiationfsts, But, notwith- standing, the 1lard-Money Democracy of this section have hitherto stuck to thelr Hard-Money principles, and, for the ill-usace they recelved by the party, have nated the Bill-Allen Democ racy as only Democrats can hate Democrats. At the lust Btate Convention, the Hurd-Money fue- tion were strong enough, hud they been pos- sessed of the pluck und had & leader, to have controlled, or at least to have balked, the Rag- Buabyites, But Gen. Tom Ewing und the Cin- cinnati Engilirer crowd rode over the Hard- Money Democrats rough-shod, and the delegu- tlon ta St. Louts srere Instructed to support the unclent Allen for the Presidency. At 8t. Louls the anclent was snowed under and Gen, Ewing was sat-down-upon, whereat the Hard-Moncy Democracy of thoe Western Reserve rojolced excecdingly. But thelr rejoleing wos of short duration. The unter- rified, who are constitutionally opposed to the paylug of debts, and Instead, any time are fer- vid In support of the generous proposition that they scttle by giving their @iotes, rencwable at maturity, and 30 un ad inflnitum, are not to be sat-down-upon,—uny more than is u horuets' nest. How, having done that same, the ‘Tilden men hestened, with tears In thelr cycs, to he- sceeh Hendricks to suffer himself to be put upon the ticket, and how, in his letter of ac- ceptancy, Tllden himself holsted the white flag to the Rag-Kepudlutionists, have passed fnto history, But even greater panfc hus befallen the Hard-Money Detaocracy of this State, sud here, In thedr stronghold, they are singlng ex- ceedingly omall while hestening to make ready for PIONTING OVER THE GREENBACK-CANVASS of last full, with Allen, Ewlug, Morgan, and the rest, as thelr lenders, and with Tiliten's letter, construed ns meaning the Indefinfte postpone wment of Resumntion, as their platform, “ What Is there going to be of the Currency- fssnue in the Ohlo campnign this fall i I asked Col.

The German-Amer- cans of Cloveland voted for Hayes und Honest Currency, as they wonld have done in any event; and they voted also the entire Kepub- lican ticket. Thiewme, the cditor of the Wachter, and o man of dedded ability, was obviously quick to detect his errur; and the conrse of the paper was, after the eloction, plainly dirccled with he view to fetchilng it back into the Republican party. But, meanwhile, o rival journal, ke Anaelger, hed hasteveil to occupy the ground Vacated hy the Warhter, and, by the aharpness of its attacks, and quoting of the IWachfer ufi:n.lnst tha fim\lhllmn mrty, succeeded in blucking the wu{ to the Wackter's return to the purty; und this husioess-rivalry, more than suny- thing else, in fact, was Instrumental In de- termining tho TWachtfer's fw)lluy {u declartug for Tildeu. The upshot. of i s, that the editor fads himwelf In the swhkward position of posing Hayes, whom he nuqlportcd last fall, whep the parnmonat. {ssie in OLio wan thesawme 1t will be in the spproaching canvasa,—that of UONEST CURRENGY AGAINST BAG-REFUDIATION.

In this calenlation we nlso glye Mr. Hartzell the beneflt of those Republicans who voted for him in *74, whereas many_af then will vote for Mr. Wiley.

Tiden for President, The framers of this * State paper " can hardly bo vuin enough to expeet that wny voter will be elther endghtened or intluenced in his politieal action on weeount of any degree of ability displayed therein, slnce thers is eearcely n duily edition of anyone of our newspapers which doeanatdiscussour political situationwithgreater intelligence. We suspoct that the only object of the writer Is, to make an impression on those unsoplisticated peoplu who, lacking the thne or inclination to study politieal events sufli- clently, wre apt to ba Jed away by glitteringgen- vralities and Jingling phruscs, which may hear the signature of some unprinelpled demnarogue, alivuys auxfous to suateh at a little cheap popu- lority, nud to parade his nome {a print. Of this fact the document referred to {8 o steiking filus- tration. Let us examine somo of the statements therein contained. We read at the outset thut the amendments to the Constitutlon (regurd- Ingz the status of thenvgroes) are u part of the fun- dumental law of the lund, and accepted os such Bouth as well gs North, and we assert, ther- Tore, that the efforts of the Republivau purty to attain the reins of Government s but su ut- tempt to harvest the spolls of oflice.”™ The statement that the South vs well #s the North has ecepted the constitutle amendmenty is an unguatitind falsehood. he Bouth hus not wvepted the wituation, tho white peopls there ure wk mbld as they ever were; witness thy brutal outrages perpetrated on the negroes, the cunrlet of the Confederate House of Repre- sentatives, the cluims tor Rebel losses, the speeches of Ben Hill and other Confoderates, ele. et “Flio next atatement tn theladdress Is partlon- Turly desizned to captitrs the Gernan vote by making iU uppear as 1f the Republican pacty was tho aworn foe of the.prenllar Genan eustoms, “The writer wavs: > The Republican purty con tutns that peenbur ntellicen provlaluis Purhtanienas an infallible do curiails the rovial freedom of the people.”” DId uny solitical deiguimie ever utter more contempt- ble sentiment thanthist What has the President of the Unlted Stutes to do with tenperence and Bunday-laws?
