The Sixth Egition of Tnz Cmioaco Tam- uxe's CAMPAIGN TILDEN RECORD has been exhausted, a BSeventh Edition has been printed and dispatched to Wisconsin, and the Tiighth Edution of this most effective of all cam- paign documenta is now ready. Orders should be sent at once. Qreonbacks at tho Noew York Gald Ex- change yesterday closed at 913. Two sporadio cases of yollow fovor have ‘been discovered in New York,—one with a fatal result. Prominent physicians say thare s no causa for alarm, as the senson is too far advanced. At a meoting of the West Chicago Audit- ing Board last ovening, it waa resolved to certify to tho County Board tho expenses for the coming year ot $18,000. The appro- priation is $1,000 less than that of the pros- snt year, of o warlike charactor. A Chief was arrested for smuggling supplies to the hostile camp.

Their Buccessors were on hand and took their scats, 'The now Board was organized by the . election of Mr, W. K.

Huarnreys, who has chargo of the river and horbor improvements, not to expend moro than two of the five millions approprinted by Congreas at its last sessivn; and in com. pliancs with the order Gen. Humrmmeys has sdopted the goneral rule to reduce each indi- vidual appropriation G0 per cent. Persons interested in the improvements contem- plated by the sppropriations are deluging the Becrotary of War with letters, asking him to sanction the full expenditure. b ] Latest accounts from the small army sent in search of the Minnesota bamdits are mot ot ull encouraging. The robbers, as in many former instances, begin to multiply in num- bors; and, as has been the caso many times bufore, the pursued are becoming ubiquitous, and are seen by rolioble witneases in many places at the samo time. Al of which, to- gother with the fact that some of the pur- vuers Lave become tired of tho chinse and gone home, indicates that the villains have run away, and will attack some other bank another doy. At tho session of the Diocesan Convention yosterday, a resolution was introduced by the Hon. 8. Conxine Jupp, reciting that the Jitiogue shiould be expunged from tha Croed i printed in the Book of Common Prayer, and roquesting the General Convention of Ihe Church at its poxt meeting to take the ac- tion mecessary to secure its expurgation. Tho effect of the resolution, should it be adopted, will bo to roject the Procession of the Holy Glost from the Bon, limiting its sourco to the Father, thus assimilating the American to the Groek Ohurch, which doea not bolieve in the dual procession. The mo- tion will como up for discussion to-day, — Ono of the most sickening pages in tho aanals of war, either ancient or modern, is the proliminary report of Consul-General Bouurres on the Turkish atrocities per- potrated {u Bulgsrin, The woones of the devastation and carnage are laid in the dis- - tricts of Philippopolis and Bazardjik, the villages of which wore laid waste and the in. habitants massacred in cold blood, after Lav- ing snrrendered their arms at the firat ‘emand. The persons of men, women, and Lildren were violated and mutilatod by the Jashi-Bazouks and regular 'urkish troops. Sixty-five villages were deatroyed, in whole or in part, and fully 10,000 porsons of all _sgeaand both sexes were ruthlessly put to the sword. The report, which is addressed 4 the United Btates Minlster st Constan- tinople, the Hon. Horack MaxyanD, is given ia extenso in another colum: ——e Tho Chicago produce warkets weie nctive yesterday, and irregular, most of them being easior.

Btates show not broken, but an incrensed and stronger column of Republicanism than bofore, It negatives the iden that any portion of tho Ropublicans have embraced Democracy or have nbandoned Haves to support Tinpe. In 1872 Indinna elected Hexphioxs Govern. or, but Ohio rejected the Democracy nfter the Maino and Vermont elections ; but tho defeat—tho failure of the Democracy to make any impression in Maine or Ohio—was accepted by the country as conclusive, and before November tho Democratio party had bocome disintegrated and made but lit- tlo effort. The campaign now rests whero it did four years ago. As then, the Democracy mny earry Indiana, but will sustain an over- whelming dofeat in Ohlo ; nnd the drift of popular feeling as shown by Olio, Maine, and Vermont will leave but little hopo in the Democratic party, and nothing to Inspire its miscellaneous followers to prosccute their struggle to the ond.

Chicago is just now betweon two fires. The Stato Board of Equalization is in session ot Springflold, and thore is the annual desiro on the part of that body to largely incrense, if not donble, the valuation of taxable prop- erty in this city and county, On the other hand, we havo a body of County Commis- sionors intent upon tho plundor of tho pub- The lIaw limits the levy of taxea for eounty purposes to 75 cents upon each $100 The existing demands on the county are 5o great that they will consume the whola revenue that can be collected at this rate on any ordinary or ressonable valu- The County Commissionors, howev- or, want the valuation of taxablo property in this county increased by the addition of $100,000,000 or more to the highest valua- tion, that they may be able to levy a tax of threo-fourths of a million of dollars to carry on the Court-House without Laving recourse to a popular vote for the authority to do so, These people, with the army of contractors, and jobbers, and stipondiaries, areall urging, and hoping, and looking to the State Board to donble the Cook County valuation, Tt may as well bo understood nt once, at Springfield and elsewhers, that just now tax- ation is a * living issne ” in this county, and an attompt to subject this county to an extra tax of $750,000 a yoar for soveral years will be resented at the polls by an ontraged The Blate Board shonld bear in mind tho condition of the pcople, who nre struggling to pay the taxcs and debts result- ing from bnd legislation and bad govern. meont, and they pray that Board to protect thom against the harpics who are socking to levy an additional taz of threo-fourths of a million of dollars to carry out a corrupt scheme of contracts to builda Court-House,— ascheme fully as dishonest as, but on a much 1arger scale than, that which has become his- torical in Macoupin County. On this subject thora is no differenca of opinion between Re- publicans and Demacrats. THE PROSPECT IN INDIANA. Four wooks from ‘Tuesday the State elec- tion will occur in Indiana, That Stato is looked upon by the Domocracy as one of the few faithful Northern Btates, andit isin a great moasurs being made the battle-ground of the present campaign. More of TiLpex's money is being expended in Indiana than in any other Btate, except porhaps Now York. But the Republican party is not aslaop. Tho past four weeks have witneased a thor. ough organization of that party for the work of the canvass, and the ablest spoakers of the country have taken tho fleld. 3fonron, Krr~ vry, Hannison, and scores of others ara at work, and Braivg, Bristow, INozrsoLr, and Somure will soon be sent into that Btate, Enthusiastic crowds groet these speakers at all thoir appointments, and overy township haa ita Haves and Waezsen Olub, uniformed and drilled, whilo local oratora are hard at work imparting valuable political information and awakening the people, Republicans everywhero ars deeply inter. ested in tho rosult of Indinna’s election, Tho national party looks to the party if State 8s one of its most important members, and overy indication that the result of 1874 will bo reversed is hailed with gladness, But Indiana Republicans have no easy war ‘Lo wrost the power from the Ds- mocracy is no light task, That our readers may ses what hns to bo overcoms in that Btate, a table haa been preparod showing the Democratic gains in tho various distriots in the last election. These figures arc obtained by comparing the majorities for Governor in 1873 with the majorities for Congress: the Btate militia reinforced by thonsand Minute-3en, and officored by the leading men of the State; that the time has como when force must be met by force, and tho bayonot must oppose the bayonot; that the only way to save tho Democracy is by It calls upon the people of Balti- more to begin the work of organization in the following frenzied manner: .

Their alm should bo to defend the law; to protectighe im- periled Conatitation of our common country. 1s fitting that Baltimore and Maryland, which may be called the cradle of civil and religious liberty in America, should take the lead In thls most patriotic work, If Baltimore shall send out the volce, the echo of the volce that Pauvr Rzvenx scnt out from the Ol Sonth Church of Boston a hundred yoars ago, we shall have the continent in & whirlwing of patriotism within thirty days, and the deaperate men who are secking the oyerthrow of American lberties will have been defedted. Let us have the ‘‘Minute Men of '76" organized, drilled, equipped, and led by the best men who can be found to lead them, This {stho grest duty of ‘To your tents| O, Israell If this flamboysnt and bombastic stuff wero the utierance of an individual, speaking solely for himself, it would be unworthy of further notice, or at least unworthy of any- thing more than a suggestion that it would be well to cool down the utterer under the town pump; but it is the uitorance of a nowspaper that representa a constituency, and it declares with outspoken voice what is only whispered in other localitios. The Bouth is full of madmen and hot brains who bave beon excited to the verge of rebellion by the prospect of electing Truoes, but they have sufficient rogard for polioy to keop their sontiments 1 abeyance’until after election. The Baltimore madman havingless judgment gives voice to their plans and cxposes them to the whole country. 2 Tho ground taken by the Baltimore Gazetis is substantially that, unless the Confedoratos ara permitted to sweep all the Bouthern Btates by force, violence, terrorism, persccu. tion, threats, intimidation, and massacre of Tepublican voters, thoy will be justified in sgain rebelling and sotting the Government The Baltimore socessionists, in 1860-1, aoted upon the samo grounds, and the mistake that the Govornment then made was in not punishing them with a sovere hand, instead of allowing them to go un. punished. It would have made Baltimore s loyal city—more than that, by throwing ita protoction about ita Union men, it would have made Baltimore a Republican city. It would to-dsy bo Republican but for fraud, violence, and terrorism at the polls, and vin. dictive, devilish ostracism and persecution of white men who want to act with the Re- publican party. The threatening attitude of the Baltimore Confederates makes it 8 necessity that there shall be an honeat clection in that city, It is clearly the duty of the Preaident, after such o definite warning, to put down such robellious outoroppings with a strong hand, and to see to it that there is & fair and unter- rorized eloction held in that city, as well as in othor places forther Bouth, The letter of the Attorney-General furnishes no sufficient pretext for such dofiant and robellious utter- ances a8 wo have quoted from this socession sheet. The only purposa of that letter is to put the in operation and to uphold the civil ‘power in the protaction of voters. Under its instructions every gitizen, black or white, Republican or Democrat, ia guaranteed in his legal rights, and no man who is not en- geged in interforing with the rights of others by violence ncod apprehend any troubls. The use of force, violence, or terrorlsm to carry an election is equivalent to rebellion against the Iaws of the country, and it must be put down at all hazards, If the civil suthoritios are unabla to do it, thon tho Gon- ersl Government must step in and protect citizons in the right to vote. There is ample warning that such protection will be needed ‘coms of sBAMUEL J, TIL- Firat Diatrict.... Second District, Beventh District. Elaventh Diatrict..

In Vermont the Republican victory was equally deoisive and sweeping, leaving the Demoorats, as in Maine, in as hopeless & minority as they ever were, i ‘Tho result in those two Btates leaves the progross of tho campaign precisely as these clections left it in 1872, when Gurrixy was the Dumocratio candidate. In that year tho Democrats estimated that a gain of 8 per cent on the popular vote was all that was required to elect thelr candidate, and, though they did not expect to carry Vermont and Baino, fhigy sxpagted t0 show Lhgt fhs asin Of the thirteen dis- ‘Thers wers, howover, certain causes which operated to insure a Democratio viotory in 1874 which will help to win success for Re- publicans in this campaign. The * Liberals," who were with the Democraoy in the last election, have learned the hollowness of the cry of “Reform” by that party, and have gladly returned to tholr first love, The ef- forta at ‘‘roform™ by the Domocracy were chiofly profitable to Democratio officials, and the frauds perpetrated undor pre- tense of reform have opeped the eyes of those unfortunatcs who hoped to find virtuo and honor in the Dehooratio party, Another causs of defoat in that election wes the unwise move of the radical temperance people in dragging the temperance qusstion into the campaign. - The discussion of that issue drove away thousands of Republicans, undid all the logislation that had been ac- complished, and left themselves worse off than before. The issus has been dropped now, and the groator portion of those who Maine gives a Re- doserted thoir party by reason of the pro. nounced position of certain members of it on thnat subjoct nre ngain reconciled and har. moniously at work for snccoss in October. Indiana Republicans were never more ful. 1y united, never more enthusiastio, and the prospecta for thoir success in. October are veory encouraging. An honest election will give a Republican victory. The only fear ia that the importation of Kentuoky Confed- crates will bo so great as to ovorbalance the honest vote, 'This importation has begun already, aud these men are belng stationed in portions of the State whero they will do tho Democracy the best service, Republic- ans must look out for this, and thoroughly organize to resist these incursions.

The hope of this is increased by the admirable tona of the platform adopted by the Copgressional Convention, which will appenl directly and strongly to all those in the district who have rofrained from voting the Republican tickot at the last two eloo. tions, beoausa they regarded the Republican Reprosentative as persbnally opposoed to the praotical reform of tho civil service, which is now tho most conspicuous duty to which the Republican party and its Presidential eandidate are pledged. The platform of the Fourth District Convention sota forth: Resolved, That we heartlly indoerse and-approve the declaration of principles of the Repablican Na- tional Convention, and we eapecially commendand approve the manly snd courageous sentiments of the letter of acceptance of the nomince of said Con- ‘vention for President of the United States; that by salil declaration of principles and letter of accepte ance of the nominee far President the Republican party stands fully and squarely comumnltted to & radleal and completo reform of tho civll scrvice of the Government, to the end that ofices no longer be bestowod ms rewards for parly services, nor services in behalf of any individual or individaals of the dominant party, but that the good of the ** public service, honesty, Adelity, and capacity ** shall be the sole test of preferment; and in tho language of the national platform of the party: **That Senators and Ropresentatives who may be Judges and accusers should not diclale appoint- ments to ofiice. ** Retolved, That wo require of tho nomineo of this Conventlon, in casc of his election, that he faith- fully observe the doctrine of the fifth resolution of the natlonal platform, and the doctrine of Mr. Tavzs' letter of acceptance In reference to clvil- service roform; and that he shall use such power and influenca os ho may posscss as Represcatative to secare tho adoption and carrying into effect the doctrines of sald resolation and letter of accept- tance, as the '*invariable rale" in the bestowal of and removal from office. Resolved, That wo denonnce e a glating offenso agatnst good morals and pubtic policy the bestowal or promisc of bestownl of ofiice for servicos ren- dered or to be rendersd at party caucuses or nominating conventions, and that we regard sach offenso aa only second to the crime of sellingofiices for a stipulated price, or a share in the emoluments of the same. To make this ontspoken declaration of principles still stronger, and to illustrate the harmony botwoen those principles and those governing the Republican party in its na- tionnl canvass, the platform further em- bodied tho rosolution on the civil sorvice adopted at Cincinnati snd that portion of Gov. Haves' lotter of acceptance commont- ing thereon, in which he pledges himsolf to return to the practice of the founders of the Republio, when appointment to place and tonure of office dopended upon personal fitness and not party servico, ‘The most significant circumstance connect- ed with the adoption of this civil-service platform in the Fourth District is the fact, of which we are credibly assured, that Mr, Lartnror, the Congressional candidate, is the suthor of the resolutions. Ho has thus vol- untarily plodged himsolf to use his influence and power, in coas of eloction, to ssoure the adoption of the olvil-service reform advo. cated by the Ropublicon platform and by Gov, Haves, and to abatain from the prac- tice of Congressmen in dictating sappoint- ments to office. Mr. Haves' charactor is o sufficient warrant that ke will be true to his pledge, and this aingle fact ought, and prob- ably will, incrosse tho Republican majority of the district. THE MORAL OF IT. It is now confidently announced from both Now York and Washington that Gov. TizpeN has in proparation, and will eause to ba pub- lished within two or three days, a porsonal statemont of his income during the yoars when tho Governmont lovied an income-tax, and thet he will endenvor to show that he did not withhold any of the tax justly due, nnd that ho did not make fnlse onths for that purpose. Wo hopo in all sincerity that he will be successful in convincing overy fair- minded person that the strong prima facie ovidence against him is roally imislending. There are enough reasons why Mr, Tiupes should not ba cleoted President even if he in personally an honest man, and wo would gladly seo every suspicion of perjury and swindling removed. It is a disgrace that any man running for the higheat office in the nation should appoar in the light of o de- frandor of the Government and a falsifier under oath, and we shall be glad to have the taint wiped out. It is unfor-_ tunate that Mr. Troey did not adopt this plan sooner, if it was in his power to show beyond question that the charges wers not true, though fully warrant. ed by the significanco of tha evidence on which they were made. His failure to doso has batrayed the Demooratic newspapers and politicians into the most ludicrous attempts at dxplanation, the most desperato efforta to make out Gov, Haxzs as bad as himself, and o virtual admission that they wounld support Trioex for President oven if guilty of frand on the Government and of false swearing, In this way they have already illustrated their inordinate greed for official plander, and confessed that even persounal dishonesty on the part of their Presidontial candidate and the national disgrace incidental to it would not induce them to abandon their strugglo for the spoils. No explanation of Mr. 'T1LDEN'S, however clear it may bo in re- lioving himself of the disgraco that has been attached to him through the published evi- donce of his having falsified his incomo ro- turn, can'now relievo the party of its con- fessed dopravity, which has beon developed by Mr, Tupen's delay, In view of Mr. Tipex's promised oxpla- nation, o brief restatoment of tha case, di- vosted of all speoulation, mav be made, flo was charged first with having sworn in ono instance that his entire income for 1862 was only $7,118, and in another instance having nlso sworn that he received $20,000 from a single cliont.

Both propositions are in oxcess of the ultimatum made by the Council in the resolution adopted a woek ngo declaring that gas must be furnished at $1.50, or the city wonld try oil. They are further defeotive in not being equal in torms, and thers is certainly no reason why Mr, Brrunos’ Company should be paid 25 cents per 1,000 fest more than Mr. Wargmis' Company ; if there were any distinotion it should be in favor of the lt- tor, since it was a large sufferer from the fire of 1871, whilo the West Side Company escapod loss. ‘Wa approhend that Messra, Watxnta and Bruunos have both discovered signs of ¢ weakoning" somewhera in the Counoil or thoy would not bo 80 exorbitant and blunt in their demands, If so, tho Council must jus- tify tho roputation for honesty it has earned by defeating any recommendation to pay the Gas Companies more than $1.60 per 1,000, Mr, Watkixs, it will be remembered, express. ed his willingness a couplo of weeks aince to sapply the lampa at $1.60, using three-feet burners, His excuse for withdrawing this proposition now ia that, since that time, tho Council had voted franchises to new companles, ns they had a perfect right to do, This is simply no exouse at all Even if the new Companies proceed to erect works and Isy gas-pipes (which 18 not yet certain by any moeans), they canuot bo prepared to supply consumers before April 1 next, and Mr. ‘Warxzms' proposition does not extend beyond that time. If ha means to insinuate that his Company will have to pay blackmail money to the new Companies to keop them from erecting works and laying pipes, thatis his affair, and he cannot expect the publio to make up the blackmail money by paylng an increased price for the gas, After all that has been sald and done, the Council will stultify itselt and betray the peopls by accepting these propositions, un- equal 1n terms but both exorbitant. It will do worse than this, It will place itself under the suspiclon of having been influenced to abandon in part the plan of retrenchment to which it is pledged. Thers is & certain minority in the Council that will always vote with the Gas Companiea, whatever they msy proposs; it the solid front of the majority, which has adhered clogely together 8o far, be broken, the Gaa Companies may carry their point. Wa hope the indications of this are decep- tive, and that the result will prove a majori- ty of the Aldermen willing to stand honestly by their pledge. If the Ges Companies per- slitin their desire to endeavor to hold the city to the old contracts, which have been declared null and vold by good legal suthori. ty, there is no better time to test the ques. tion than the prosont. Nor wilf there be a more favorable opportunity for making the STPOTHRRS G HoRiag Hh KFeete 31tk oo l"lfidg, Eaid and which ' payment appears Wodsr dato of Nows 7, 1802, Ina statoment an- oxed to tho first report foresald, as having been recoipted for by the sald \LDRN, ‘on Account of profossional scrvices,'" The only answer vouchsafed to this ap- parent contradiction under oath was sug- gested by Mr., TiLoen's private secrotary, and greadily taken up by the Democratioc news- papers, to the offect that Mr. Trroxx's custom wea not to rofurn actual recoipts for the year but actual earnings, including an esti- mato of pay subsequently recolved for sorvicos rondored during the year. Unfortu. natoly, this statement led to an inveatigation of the work done by Mr. Trpex in the yoar 1862, and the pay ho received for it at a Iater period. Not to rocall all tho amounts dis. covored in this resoarch, it is enough to say that, on this theory also, n single item seoms to show that Mr, Troxx falsified his return for1802, Itissaid that tho books of the Alton & Terre Haute Railroad show that for services rendored that Company in the months of Beptomber and Octo. ber, 1802, Mr, TipeN was subsoquently paid the sum of $20,000, which he actually received oarly in the year 1803. Now, the gross roturn of Mr, Troen's incoms from all sources in 1862 was loss than $14,000, as he swora to it. On the theory that he re. turned his * onrnings” and not his xctual raceipts, it s shown that his carnings for singls client in that year were $20,000; on tho thoory that he roturned his actual re. ceipts and naot his * earnings,” we have his gworn oath that he recelved from a single client in that yewr the sum of $20,000, There is the same discrepancy in both theo- ries, and it is this which Mr, Trrozx is re. quired to explain. The case {s a simple one ; the explanation onght to be equally so. " We repeat that it will give us genuine sat- iafaction, for the good name of the nation, to acquit Mr, Troey fully of the chargs of swearing falsely and defrauding the Govern. ment. The disgrace ia one that the nation will Liave to bear if he bo chosen President, and, so long as thers is even a remote possi- Dbility of that ocourrence, we much prefer that ho shall be relisved of any suspicion of guilt. Weshall not be able, nevertheless, to mequit the Democratio party of a low moral tone and dishonest tendency, which prompted it, in the absence of an oxplanation, to bring further disgrace upon the nation by secking to make Gov, Hares equally black without the shadow of s suspicion, Awaiting Gav. Tie- pxN's explanation we still discover an indics- tion of a higher sentiment of Lonesty than that represented by the Democrstio party, and believe that it i¢ this sentiment which bas forced Mr, TrLozx at last to make an ef- fort to remove the prima fucle case sgainst bim. It we dg not misapprehend this santl. line or of], for the people aro well-disposed to risk some inconvenience to broak down the extortion of the Gas Companies. The Democrats denounce the * immorality and imbeoility * of the Republicans, who, they sy, during eleven yoars of peace, did nothing towards restoring tha credit of the Government, and had nothing to show for tho expenditure of tha public monoy. Here i n alight exhibit of what tho Ropublicans accomplished in doflance of the opposition of the Democrats, These figuras are taken from tho official reports : 811, 087,801 RE, 462, 214 ) 2,008, 181,041 The reduaotions have beuu esch Jear a3 follows : Year, Reductlon. 3 1874, fncre 1870, decres 1870, Rept. 1, decroase. Total... paid $800,000,000 of debta arising out of claims, pack-pay to army aud navy, trans- portation, eto., which debts wers neverin- oluded in the publioc dobt statement, but wero pald out of tha current receipts. The TRepublicans have paid an average of over $100,000,000 interest annuslly, reducing it from $144,000,000 to $95,000,000 a year. They have paid $80,000,000 a year pensions. They have raised the greenback from GO conts to 90 conts on the dollar ; have rednced tho rate of interest on $500,000,000 of the public debt from 6 to & per cent; and have negotiated a reduction of interest on $300,~ 000,000 from G to 4} per cent. And all thix has been dono in spite of the opposition of tho Democratio party. That part of Indiana which lies upon the Ohio River and is opposite Kentucky is al- ways relied upon by the Domooratio parly in all conteated elections, It has always beon understood that the Demoorats draw largely from Kentucky to incroase their vots, and ft is romarkable how the Democratic voto rises and falls in these counties. Indiana elects State officern in October, at which time there is no election in Kentucky, but both Btates vote in Novembor, The following named counties in Indinna are separated from Ken- tucky only by the Ohio River, and we give the Democratio vote polled by them at the October elaction for Governor in 1872 and at the November eleotion a month later in the same year, The figurea are romarkable : DEMOCRATIC VOTE, . 3,192 ,70% 2,73 700 2,607 2,070 Crawford... 1,002 Forry. 1238 Tolalivessesssans sovneerens,10,007 17,121 These figures indicate that 1,946 Domo- crats who had voted In these counties of Indinna in October went home to Kentucky or elsewhero where they had to vote in No- vember, and honce the falling off in the Demacratio vote, Thoss men did-not vote the Republican ticket, which recelved sbout the same numbor in November that it did in Qatober. Serfoner's Magazine for Soptember, 1675, In an article rolative to the Bxrougn casc, contained the following: ‘We believe that, when the American public shall have retired sufticiently far in time from this ro- markable trial, they will not only beligve thls, but they will be ready to indores what Prof. RExAUD, of leldelherf Uniyeraity, wrote montha ago as the conviction of the legal iinds of Germany, Austrls, and France, viz. : that ** The plaintiff s no case whatever," It wiil be rememblered that Prof, Re.
