A good portion of the money appropristed under? tho treaty of removal went into the lands of those in.the Democratic Ring which managed tho affalrs, and which, through the Administrations of Yolk, 'Plerco, and Buchanay, continued to press claims, present bills, and sccure appropriations for expenscs fn- curred fn tho removal, Where tho actual cost of removal, In many coses, was only $20 per head, from $150 to $200 was charged, and bills for the removal of o fictitlous number of In- dions were submitted and allowed. The inves- tigation thus far has Involved a number of Dem- ocratie politiclansof the Administrations named, and has shown that the money stoien outright ‘was not less than $3,000,000. ANOTHER REFORMER, Tho report of the Democratlc Commitico on the Freedinen’s Bank did not call attention to the mauncr in which ox-Representative Plerce M.

When his conuection with tho real-cstato pool was discovered, the Committco wrote for an cxplanatfon. e replied hat Tluntington had tnonoy of his In his hands, and fuvested 1t fn thu pool without his (Young's) knowledge. Soon after the Frecdmen's Bank Committee ascortalucd that Young had borrow- ed the monoy there, and o kuew now it was to Le invested. 8o, while the two Committces discovered the craoked ways of this promiuent Dewmocrat, neither of ther saw it to wention it.

REFORM, BLIPPERY BAM AND TONTUOUS TOM. To the Edior of The Tribune. East Br. Lous, Ill., Aug. 27.—Thcro are o few plain questionstouching reform which I wish to nsk Mr. Tilden and his friends; and, sinco he failed to givethe people any light on them inbis loug and wordy letter, I hiope he or his fricnds will answer them: Wil Tilden pledge himself to obaundon tho spolls system? Wl he pledge himsolf, whether the Coustitution 1s amended to that effect or not, in case ho Is chosen Presl- dent, not to accept & nomiuation or election to that ofllce & sccond time! These two questions comprehiend the whole problem und question of Civil-Service reform, and yet Tilden, in his letter of acceptance, ever ald anything about the firat, while, as to the sccond, h¢ plafuly Inti- mated that his word would not be worth s cent un- 1eas the Conatitution wassoamendedasto prevent him from trying to hang on to the Presidency o second term. As fs well known, Mr. Hayes prom- ised not tonecept the tender of asecond election, and, to uffset this mauvly promise, Tilden at- tempted to make eapital Tor himsel? by saying virtually that his word not to again seck thy Preaideiicy would be utterly worthless, unless the Coustitution was so amended as to prevent his !cuklnfi it. If Tilden believes that nobody would believs him sbonld b solemnly have aald in Lis letter that he would .not be a candidate a sceond tine, how can ho expect people to be- leve anything ho did sayabont reform? Indeed, "Tilden's letter was o formal threat that, unless the opie went Lo the trouble of amending the Conatltu- {hm, in coso of his success thoflrst time he would try u second tline for tho Presidency. Buch Dbarefaced impudence snd egotism were never before exhibited in the letter of any 'resi- dential candldate, Althougsh Mr. Tilden stadied six weeks after his nomination to counvince himself what was Teat for him to say In his lotter of acceptance, when it was published it was weak and evasive heyond all precedent. In this alarmingly stupld document, though he belongs to the Ly the legithuate consequences of whose teachings for the lust sixteen years will, fn cusc of its elevy tlon to power, compel it to pay at least $1,000, 000,000to the South for its losscs in the War, Mr. Tilden never uttered a word assuring the peo- plo that these Southern claims should not bo aid; nelther had he s word of condemnation or such outrages as the lHamburg masascre, although at the time be prepared his letter tho public mind was intensely oxclted over the affair; but ke had amplo time to make the dull announcement that his promise not to accept nor work for & sccond term would probably only be a lle, in case he should make it, unless the’ Constltution were so smended as to debar him this privilege. Wonderful Reformer!l Ile kuows his word {8 worth nothing unalded by o law to compel him to fulfill it, and ho suspecis the {‘wop\c. oo, think so. The most startling omisston fu Mr, Tilden's Ietter of acceptance and decoptlon was, that he futled to condemn the contemplated payment of tho Bouthern War claims in case the Confed- erate Democracy come {nto control of the Gov- ernment, Ho well kuew that tho legitimate sequence of the doctrine of his party, aud of his own utterauces durjug tho War, would compel his party to pay theso clalins; he woll knew that hundreds of these claims had bLeen pro- sonted to Congress alrcady, and that othier hundreds ad Leen sworn to aud filed In the Bouth, only walting the ascendaucy of hia party to power, and that these claims in ihe ageregate amounted to billons of dollars, Mr, Tilden was niot a stranger to these facts, but he never uttered o word agalnst thelr }myment Iu_his endless and verboss lottery in which he handled many themes for which the masses caro not s pluch of snufl. The truth is, Tilden's letter proves that ho I6 just as dishoncst and sly In relation to the Presidential problem as ho has over been in his dishonest promiscs to tho rall- roads, when hie_would draw them in and then betray them, But Tilden and Hoodricks have {lln)‘cdw each other's hand in tho rallroads,— Tendricks voting them bouds and lands, while Tilden was to rolleve them of both.
