Bocrotary Omanpren roturned to Washing- ton yesterday from a brief visit to New York. To foels satisflod that Ohio and Indiana will both go Republican, the former by alarge apd tho latter by o modorate majority. He axpecta that Now York will ropudiate Tiupex, end Now Jersoy will roll up its eloctoral vote for Hayes. It is probabla that both Cali. fornin and Orogon will do likewise, as the misunderstandingf relative to the Chinecse problem have been satisfactorily arranged.

The Treasury Department has boen informed that tho subsoriptions to tho new loan slrendy lorgely oxceed tho forty millions taken by the 8yndicnto ; and it is oxpocted that tho entire loan will b taken beforo the expiration of the Syndicate option. This loan draws only 4} per cent,and sells for over par in gold. Tho schome for an inter-ocesnio canal across the Isthmus of Darion is once moro looming up. M. Lron Drouvnier, & distine guished French ongincer, arrived in Wash- ington two days ago on a mission of securing aid for a complote survey af Central Ameriea, and on his visit to the War and Navy De- partmonts was astonished to loarn that dnr- ing the pnat twonty-five ycars nenrly forty routeshad boen surveyed. Thoe Nicaraguan Government has appointed n Commissioner to visit the United States for the purpose of negotiating o (reaty for the completion of the work vin tho Nicaraguan route. Last spring Col. A. O, Ertirionre, an old- time Republican, departed from the faith, and cast his lot with those who foster and nurturo the rag-baby., His conversion was based purely on tho question of financo. Within tho past week ho discovered that the managers of tho Groonback had deliberate- Iy sold out to tho Demoerats. Buch daplicity o could not countenance. Ho therefore cast asido tho rags and renawed his nllegianco to the party of tho Union, with which he had faithfully worked with bullet and ballot. Ho refuses to be traded over to o political organization, against which he fought for throe years during the Warof the Robellion; to n party composed of tho worst and most vicious olements of society, longued with nearly evory formor Rebel and Northern Copperhead, and augmented with the nonsending and ignoront classes. Tho Colonel now bolieves that tho financial interests of the country will bo far safer in the hands of the porty which savod it than of that whichfought to destroy it. Toz Trnmosn commeonds Col.

England insisted on this condition, so a8 to carry out her local legislative enactments, oblivious of the rule of equity that no party to ncontract can mod- ify it without the cousont of the others in- terested. It would now scem that the British Governmont, influencod by suggestions from the necighboring Dowminion, is anxious to re-onter into an allianco offensive nud de- fonsivo againat all social pests, and for that purposo has oponod nogotiations at Wash. ington for n now troaty, which will be chiofly dovoted to the oxtradition question, and it entored upon, will afford greater fa- cilities for the capture and axchange of fugi- tives from justice thian the one which a fow months ago was quiotly intorred benenth the accumalated dust of the two State Depart. ments, : Groat interost s oxcited in Oatholic Europo at the proposed olevation of Peren Jonx Beoxn, General of tho Josuils, ton Cardinalate, Tho dispatches announco that .thia promotion is made at the expross desive of P1o Noxo, and intimate that the prospect- ive recipient of the berottn will be the future candidate of the Ultramontano party for the Papaoy.

BEVIVAL OF BUBINESS, It is generally conceded that thero is an improvement in trade. We do not mean that improvoment which is shown by an in- crensed production and an sddition to tho stock of overything offered for sale, Of that improvement thero has boen an abnndance, —n continuity of production over.domand. This has beon the rulo ever sinco tho pros. tration. Notwithstanding tho great depros. slon in all things, and the shrinkage in prices, production has continued in excess of demand. No mattor how mauny mills closed, or how short tho time of working, tha stock on hand has beon groater than the demand for consumption. The result has beon a de- cline of prices, and sales at a loss. ‘Within thelast fow woeks—extonding ‘back perbaps a month—thero has been an improvement, small but healthful; the im- provement hns been a demand for goods to such nn extont ns to indicnte that in some ‘branches of trade there has boen o rovival of consumption, thereby creating an incrensod demand for goods, Small as this improve- ment hasboeen, it has been accopted as enconr. aging, beeause it has' been nccepted ns evi. dence that tho bottom has been renched in consumption; that tho amount of a givon articlo bought for uso haa sunk as low as it will go, and that it has actually not only renched the minimum, but has begun to grow apward again. . Tho Now York Bulletin enumerates the instances whore this im. provemont has been shown. It has oxtended to the cotton-goods trade, In blenched goodls, printing-cloths, and in prints, n do- cidod advanco in prices has been justified by tho incrensed domand. Though our facili- ties for turning out tho coarser or chonpor grades of woolen clotha far excood tho amount produced, and tho supply has boon/ for a long time in excoss of the demand, still there is a recovery, which is further strengthoned by an advance in the price of wools, More wool is purchased at an en- larged price, which is to be taken a8 indicat. ing an improved market for tho manufac. tured articles, Silks have advanced 16 to 20 per cont, not because of any incroased de- mand, but because of an advance in the price of tho imported raw materinl. The Bulletin, after raviewing the general outlook of the marlets, says: Putting togethor all thezo facts, with tho furthor fact that in & wide range of othor articles in which no rise has been cstablished there 1s o healthy firmness, thoy wust be rogarded a8 amountingtoa vory sotlsfactory sympton of tho condition of business. They indleato that, after three years during which consumnption hss fallen behlnd sup- My, the demand Is getting an imporlant ascend. oncy. It s thia very condition of things for which ‘we hiave 80 long been walting na the turning point of the deprossion; and now that it has come, wo may reasonably expect a stondy restoration of trade to its usunlactivity, Therels nothingthatso helps to instlll abuoyant fooling into business as an upward movement in pricos. Merchants sae tho value of their stocks approciating, they have fower losses from o dopreclation of goods, and thelr profits are abovo the average. And whon such ad- vances in prices start from an aboorinally low leve, thero are none of those drawbacks thnt at. tend o riso from an already high rango of values, and all regnrd the chango as o healthy one, The offect of such a conditlon of the warketa upon manufactures is illustrated In such occurzences as tho storting up of the Spraguo's Mills, the resump- tlon of work by tho factorics suspended during the spring at North Adams, and the renewal of opora- tlons by mills in Pennsylvania which bave been stopped thirough low prices, I'he improvement in prices in homa pro- ductions will naturally lead to an improve- mbnt intho foroign trado, Our imports wero uever solow comparatively es this year, and this falling off seriously threatons our rovenue. For threo yeara the valuo of tho dutinblo imports has declined, causing & ro- duction in tho rovenue, The reduction this yoar promises to bo grontor than even last yoar, end the deficioncy may be a serious onoe. This is partly due to tho general do- presaion of trade and the falling off in con- sumption, but it is also due heavily to the excossive tariff, which now in many lines of goods is prohibitory, In all lines of im- ports whero the dutics nre specific, and the valuo of the goods has fallen 26 to 50 por cont, tho rate of duty has correspondingly advanced, and in many cases defeats im- portation sud revenue, T'he increaso of foreign trade should also inspiro an improvement of the oxport trade, and that oxport trade ought to include a pro- porlion of manufactures not hithorto main. tained under the blighting system of protee- tion, Nover was thore n better or moro do- sirablo opportunity to improve our whole trado, foreign and domestic; discarding tho dolusive and fraudulent scheme of protec- tion ; manufacturing all our products in the largost quantities, to be sold to whomsoever will buy them; and inviting tho largest ox- change of commoditios wherever it is choap- or to buy than to make, and whore it is moro profitable to cxchange than to attompt to compote, . Chicago boing in the contro of o region whosa products are the food of wankind, of which thero can be no fallure of a market, and whare the cash is paid over to tho pro- ducer in exchango for his goods, the goneral prostration hus uot been a4 gront na elso- where, The ‘consumption of ,the ordinary wants of domestic econoiny, though largely diminished, has not doclined to tho same vxtont 03 elsewhers, ‘Tho Northwost has been full of money during tha whole period sinco tho panje. Tho slight improvomoent which hns been noticed cléawhere in the country haa boon folt decidedly here, It has Increascd tho number of workmen employed in several branchos of manufactures, has been folt in tho goneral retail trade, and has oven caused somo gotivity and preparntionss for ot lenst n partial rovival of the real.cutate markot, The building in the city during the year has been oxteusive, causing o demand for mnterinls and labor, and adding by the distribution of wages to tho deposits in the unvings bunks.

Thero is an itora- tion of the old partisan oaths that black is white and white binck. Whother it all comes from old-time dovotion to the disloyal De. mocracy, or from an notual consideration that has beon passod over, or from a forlorn hopo of future roward, cortain it fs that the Chi- cngo Zimes has utterly discarded ovory pro- tonse of *independonce,” which it vaunted for a fow years to galn some Republican readors (Domoorats not belag a rending peo- plo as a rale), and it now stands out conspic. uonsly na the most willing, docils, and tracta. blo Confedorato newspaper published at the North in thoe Intorest of Tirory, It is entis tled to Lho credit of this distinotion, THE WHISKY CAS Tho statoment comes from Washington that Attornoy.General Tarr hns concluded to advise the President to pardon tho men now in the County Jail for complicity in tho whisky frands, Theso men plended guilty, ag they liave tostifled on onth, on tho ussur- ance from the Government that, if they did plonded guilty, they shouldhavo the least pun. ishment, and should all bo punished equally. Thoy were, hiowever, sentonoed variously from throo months totwo years, They have oll made aflidavits to this effect, H., B, M~ 1.zn, in his affidavit, snys that a committeo of the second batch was appointed to visit, and did visit, tho oftico of Mr. Baxas, and Br. Aven, and Mr. Bourerg, the Government nltornoys; that after a general consultation it waa ngroed that all but Pauratan and Rusz “glionld plead guilty to two counts and withdraw tholr opposition to the condemnn. tion of thuir property, and they, on their part, promised that all the distillers of the sacond bateh should be treated alike.” Burnovaersropresonts thengroement to have been: *“Thoy (the Government) finally arranged that if we would. plerd to two counts, one called the conspiracy count and tho other the count clinnging the removal of spirits, wo oll should Lo served aliko.” Toerue made a similar statoment. Hrsrva states that tho Govornment accepted his plen of guilty ns a distiller, and promised that he should bo punished aa the other distillers ware punished. ‘This is the gronnd upon which the pardons were asked,—that the men waero tricked into pleading guilly on a promiso of nominal and uniform punishment, which promiss was wholly disrogarded by the Government coun- sel, This interposition by the Attornoy-Gon- eral, if truo, is only in the cases of tho dis- tillors, and does not apply tothe case of Remy, That porson is of adifferent olass,— ho is serving out a sontonco whore the im- prisonment was put at'tho lowest term by spocial agrecmont, MR. TILDEN'S DEFENSE, If Mr. Troey has made or contomplates making the statemont accredited to him con- corning his income returns, and this is all he has to sny on the subject, ho might better lave adhored to the silent contompt with which ho hos treated tho discussion for sov- eral weeks, Tho roported dofense is that in 1861 he advanced soveral hundred thousand dollars to his brothers, who wero manufac- turing chomists, ond that this money was lost in tho business. This statoment soems searcoly to touch the subject under discus- sion. 'The most apparent contradiotion ro. lates to his income return of 1862, when he swore that lus taxable incomo was only 7,118, though he haa subsequently sworn that ho roceived $20,000 from a single cliont during that year! If Mr, Troen's ndvances to his brothers wero mnde prior to 1862, they could not possibly have been, in whole or in part, his income for 1862, and if thoso advances wers subse- quently lost, they could in no wise affact the actual income for tho year 1862, which was tho money actunlly rocoived or actually earnod during that yoar. But even if tho advances woro made during tho yoar 1862, nnd Mr, Tory hod given or loaned to his brothers ©100,000 actunlly recoived or earned during that year, it would in no wise relievo him from his linbility to the Govern. ment for tho tax thereon., Any construction of tho Iaw permitling an oporation of this Lind would enablo overy man to avoid the incomo tax by nominally giving or lending his money to a relativo or friend in whom ko liad confidenco, The ndoption of this explanation, bosides Loing wholly unsatisfactory in itself, alsd lenves Mr. TiupeN inan embarrassed atti- tude, inasmuch as ho has tacitly indorsed tho statemont made by his private secrotary and takon up by the Democratio nowspapers, to tho effect that tho apparent discrepancy is to bo oxplained by tho fact that he returncd his earnings for the year and not his nctual ro- ceipta, If Mr, TiLpeN now adoptsa new lino of dofenso, it will lenve him under the suspicion of having put out tho other by proxy as o sort of * feclor,” and withdraw- ing it becauso it was found not to answer, It isto be hoped that, whatover the dofensa may be now, Mr, Tiwors will assumo per- sonal responsibility for it, g0 that it may bo examinod on its morits and determined ac- cordingly cither to his roliof or his disad. vantage. It is not ont of place, in view of the latest outlined defense, to recall the fact that the income-roturn blanks had printed in a con- spionous monner at the tup tho words: ‘*Gnoss AWoUNTS MUST BE sTATED.” Tho blanks thou proceeded to give in dotail the sources from which the income conld possi- bly bave been derived, including profits in trado or vocation, ronts, interest on notes, dividonds on bonds, salary, eto, Then fol. lowed a dotailed statement of all exemptions allowed by law, including nacessary exponsos of carrying on trade, natlonal, Btate, and local taxes, repairy, insurance, interest on fn- cumbrances, the smount of $600 oxempt by law, oto. Trom this statement it is olcar cnough just what the law required Mr, TimpeNn to rotwrn, and the oxplanation attributod to him shows that Lo did not comply with the law, Suchan explanation, properly substantiated and ac. companiod by a detailed statoment of his sotual fncomo and A detbilod statemnent of his notunl gifts orloans to his brothers, might possibly reliovo him from tho {nfamy of in. tentional perjury, Lut it will not acquit himn of violating the law and withholding a tax that was justly due the Govornment, Bat this ia not all there is to the case, Mr, Twnex wado income roturns for only two yoars, viz, ;s 1802 and 1804, For 1803, 1803, aud subsoquent yoars ho made no roturns, Tho New York Z2Ymes hos oredited him with belug nascssed and paying during thosa yoargthe tax .on an aversgo annual incomo of $15,000, but o statomont comes from Washington that no record can bo found showing that ho paid any incomo tax what- ovor duriug those years. Admitting, how- over, that ho paid o tax on $15,000 income for eight years, this would mnko o gross in. como of $120,000 during that time, A, Eaglo Lake, Colorado County, while peaceully | an party, and evorything it Las done, and | Tirozx is now roputed to be worth soveral ‘during the prosecation of the War. millions of dollara; wo have sson his por- sonal fortune stated nowhero at less than two millions. According to tho latest ex- planation, ho had lost several hundred thou- sand dollars in 1861 by advancos to bis brothers, and he was a poor man in 1802, ‘Fhen ho must have earned tho groat bulk of lLiia personnl fortune, now estimnted nt two miltions nt tholeast, in tho subsoquent yenrs; Lut he paid atax on aggrogate earnings during that timo of only $120,000. Tho latost ex- plaantion, therofore, leaves him in the atti. tudo of having dofrauded tho Government during those eight ydka out of a tax due it on from one to two millions of dollars. That he did so by a violation of the law in noglacting to return bis income is soarcely less reprobenaible for a man in his position than if he had done it by swearing to false roturns, He will atill be in tho attitude of a man nsking the people to eleot him to the chief manngemont of a Government which ho had plundered by violating its laws and withholding his sharo of tho common taxa- tion.

InoeRsoLL & & ‘The United Statos of Amorica isa free conntry; 1t ia tho only free country upon thia earth; it Is the only Ropublic that was over ecstablished among men. Wo havo read, wo havo heard, of the Re- public of Greces, of Egypt, of Venice; wo have henrd of the free citles of Enrope, Thero nover ‘wos a Republie in Venico, there nover was n Ro- publio in Rome, there nover was a Republic in Athens, there mever was o free city in Europe, thero nover was a Govorument mnot cursed with casto, there never was a Govornmont notcurscd with slavery, there never was a Government not cursed with almost overy infamy until the Republican par- ty of the United States made thisa free nation. [Cheers.] X want no grander, no higher titlo of Tiobility than this, that 1 belong to tho Ropublican party and did a lttlo toward making thls Republic- an party a fact, This is a plain matter of fact clothed in tho most glowing garb of eloquence, It is to tho Ropublican party that the United States of America owes its existonco as a National Repnblic, in which every man en- joya perfect personal freodom and equal po- litical rights, Beforo the ascondency of the Ropublican party, and under the dominion of tho old-time Democratio Stato-Sovereignty doctrine, wo lad nothing but a confedera. tion, or o longue, or & treaty betwecen mop- arato political ontities to bo disrupted at the plensure of any of tho contracting parties. ‘That was the dootrine that Buomanax acted upon when ho gave the Rebels all their op- portunities for a successful revolt, It was the doctrine acted upon by TiLpeN when ha rofused to sign a call for a New York mass. meeting (after tho firing on Bumter) to support the Constitution and the laws. It was the dootrino that suggested tho poace resolution of tho Demooratio party in 1864, when TmoEN was o member of the Rosolutions Qomumittee, It wns the doctrino which suggested tho illegality of tho ‘War debt and led up to the agitation for ro. pudiation which tho Domocratio party tried for yonrs, and which it still entertains in a large degroe. It is the dootrine that now con-. trols the political conduct of the ex-Confed- erates, who expect to enablo the Democratic party to gain control of the Government and whocountuponcontrolling the party. Itistho doctrine that suggosts the introduction into Congreas of bills for the payment of the Robol olaims and losses by tho Oonfederates It s tho dootrine which, still possessing the souls of the Domocratio loaders, neods only the opportunity to procipitate again, in some shape or othor, all the ills the country has alroady suffered from it. Not only was this country not a nation, but noither was it a Ropublio in the true sonso of tho word until the Ropublican party sucecedod in applying its principles to the Govornment. It was o parody on the name of Ropublic as long as millions of men and womon wero held as chattels, ond kept in a condition of enforced sorvitudo and somi- barbariam. It was to porpetuato this con- dition of things,—n blight upon the Repub- licanism of the world and n disgraco to America,—that tho very same Democrats of the South assorted their theory that the United States of, Amorica is not o mation, and songht to dostroy it forever, . 'Chat spirit is not yet crushed out. It awaits but the opportunity to re- nasort itaolf, It hes reasserted itself, in fact, in evory portion of the Bouth whers the Confedorates have rogained tho political as- condonoy. It now secks to spread itself over the country. The principla of equal political rights for all mon, which is the dis- tinguishing feature of modern American Re- publicanism as compared with Republicau- i in other ngos and countries, has already been troddon under foot in every purt of the South whoro the Confedorates bave been able to resumo control with the aid of the bowie-knifo and the revolver, Tt is but littlo moro than ten years sinco the Rebels of the Soutl laid dowa their arms, At that timo they returned to s desolated country in an impoverished condition, and resentfal under the disappointimont and oha. grin of dofeat, They ruturned to a now or. dor of things. They found a race of peopla emancipated and placed on an equal footing, upon whom they had subsistod as upon the labor of their mulos and cattlo. 'They did not roturn to work out thoir own destiny and Luild up new fortunos by their own onergy. ‘They wero sullon and awalted in slothfulness on opportunity for renowing thelr acoustom. od bravado. 'Tho result has proved all this,’ As amneaty has boen freely dealt out to them, until there is not & man loft oxcept Jury Davis who cannot be restored to full privi. leges of citizenship upon application, they bavo abuied it to revivo tho old sentiments which the Republicans be- lioved thoy had whippod out and ex. torminated. Thoy are as unwilling to toil for their subsistence now as thoy wore in the days of slavery bofora the War. Thoy still aspiro to live as they did thon upon the sur- plus earnings of t~ bincks and the yield of political place. 'Luuy idok to a restoration of the Demoorntio party for a romowsl of their formor dietatorial position in national Affairs, for thoy know the Democeatic party will owe itg success to thom and that they will control tho cnuncus. They expeot o restoration of sotuething like their old opu. lonco nnd luxury st tho expenscof the North, and by thoe allowance of Rebel claims for war losacs, which there will bo no lawful menns of avorting in caso they ancoced to the control of the Government.

Thoy burn, as it were, with impationce to meet thelr scensera faco, to face. It will bo romembored that so red-hot have they grown in this desire to face thoir accusers that, at a recont Republican meoting in Hamburg, where Gov, CmamnentuN was tho chiof sponker, Burrer and his gang, well armed, appenred and claimed for him a share of tho time, of which ho availed himself to make such ferocious domand to ses anybody who aceused him that tho meoting was broken up. In like fashion, the hunt nfter thoir acousors wns kept up industriously but without avail until the open- ing of Couwrt nnd the meoting of the Grand Jury. On that day tho mob that did the murdering, with their sympathizers from Georgia, assombled at the Court-House, in Alken, on pretonse of holding a political meoting. When the Court oponed there wera in the town upward of one thousand ‘White-Linors, mounted and fully armod, be- sides roinforcemonts from Georgia with the identicel cannon thatat the massacre upon the Fonrth was trained upon tho negroes when they rotreated to thelr armory. The wit- nesses who woro to have teatified bofora the Grand Jury against Buries and ‘the othors implicated in the murders prudently kopt out of the way. Tho Judge of the Court scoms to have been himself completoly overawed by this ominous gnthering of armed men, ond suggestod to the Attorney-Gonoral that tho cases ngainst Burren and tho others had batter bo continuod, which was forthwith quictly done. Feeling that some explanation of this failura of justice wns nocessary, the Attorney-General addressed a long lottor to Gov, Cuastoeniary, in whioch, in guardsd phraso, ho dotails tho facts, os to which the Columbin Union-Ierald of the 9th inst. 8OYyB: 3;,, publish elsewhere the letterof Attornoy-Gen- cral 8Toxx to Gov.

Fully 2,600 Demo- crata had assombled, ostensibly totold a political meeting, which moeting had beon, of course, por- poscly ixed simultanecosly with tho meoting of the Court. Moru than 1,000 armed horsomen had filled the usually quict roads, by which also camo witnasves, jnrors, and law oficors, The rifte clube, the sabre clubs, und the artillery clubs were there. The cannon also woke the echoes smong the pluen and sounded over tho pine hills, J¢ wus (ke sams arillfery that had been used to bombard the miiltia company on that memorable 4th of July, at Ham- burg. Again Georgla lonned it to Sonth Carolins, and for a similar purposo if it had been weoded. All this display of force was made fora purpose. That Coutt and those jurlea and witnesscs would hove buen steange men, Indecd, if they could ses it unmoved. 1t was wiso not to put them to & test. Tho guarded tono in which the Unfon. Herald commented upon “this display of forca™ betrays that it was of such sort and bas such afilliations that, even at the Capital of tho State, moro than 100 miles from the sceno, it compelled respectful mention. The plain, solf-evident fact is, that the murdorers mustored an armod array that complotely overawed aud overpowered Judge, jury, wit- nesses, and Attornoy-General, and that any attempt, in tho rogular course of logal pro- ceduro, by the Grand Jury to have hoard the testimony against the Hamburg butchers would havo rosulted in another slaughtor.
