In the lettor Mr, Frow- £n rooites his experiences with TroEN, upon whoso good will, as Chairman of the Now York Demoeratic Btato Central Committeo, dopended his retontion in the New York Cus- tom-Iouse in 1867, How tho erippled vot- eran fared ot tho hands of the eminent Patriot and Reformer who now solicits the soldior voto can best be learned from the narrative itself, which furnishes its own comment, The oxprossion of sontimonts the most treasonable and unrepentant have been horetoforo nscribed to Gov. Vance, of North Caroling, the Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor, but a demnl was promptly fortheom. ing, and tho party in the North was for tho timo ralieved of the odium of these alleged utterances. Again, however, thero comes tho chargo that Vaxox has unloosed hisRebel tongue and is shonting his deflanco and ir- reconcilabillty in the most reckless mammer, Ho is ropresontod as saying in o rocent politl- cal speoch at Webster, N. O., that the flag and tho Union wero worthless in his eyos unless the old Constitution wore restored, aud 08 denouncing thoe amondmsnts, the now Btato Constitutions, the Reconstruetion acts, and the abolition of slavery as frauds onthe Amorican people, ‘Thore is little dohbt that Vaxox fs corroetly roportoed in this instance, and that he is a fair representa. tivo of tho views and aims of iho Southern Democracy in hia rofusal to accopt tho situn- tion, At last, nfter over two weoks' pursuit, the Northfield bandits have boen captured. The villains have dodged and skulked in the menntime between B0 and 100 miles, most of the timo kecping tho shelter of the woods,. but occasionally, when forced by hunger, sallying forth to seizo horgos or lovy on defonsoless farmers to supply thoir exhausted commissarint. In tho chaso several of the pursuers have been arrested, and one or two wounded, being mistakon for the common foe, They have been ovortaken several times, but after o ‘brush with their puvsuers bave always man- aged to elude them and got a frosh atart,” It remainodfor the little band which started out yeatordsy from Madolia, some 20 iniles southwest of Mankato, to bring the ras. cals down, and thoy did their work with.a promptnoss which does them great credit. Tho robbers was pursued to the banks of the Watonwan Rivor, where they turned at bay, and aftor a brisk fight one of their number wero killod, two othera badly wounded, and the fourth forcedto surrender, Of the pursurecrs two were wounded, but their hurts are not nt all serious. “'80N8 OF LIBERTY.” At the Democratic meeting hold at Farwell Hall on Monday ovening Mr, B, Comnmva Jupp, who formerly lived at Lewiston, Ful- ton County, andnow resides in Chicago, presided. The occasion was a spocial one. It was to formally introdnce Judgo Lysan Tnomnuis to the Democratio party, The appenrance of Mr, Troumnury as tho apologist and dofendor of the Domocratic party was of itsolf somewhat remarkable, but to have him introduced and patronized by o mnn of Mr, Jupp's political rocord was a humiliation from which ordinary converts to the Democ- racy might woll shrink, In commonting on this at midnight, in o hastily-written paragraph, it was stated that 3Ir. Jupp lind rofsed “‘a cavalry company during the War to resist the draft.” This statement wns crroncous, and it wonld have been corrected nextdayas amntter of justice. In the meantime, that gentleman addressed 0 letter to this papor in the most indecorous language. Taw ‘Tamuseof Wednesday, pub. lishing this lattor, sald: Inthe official report of the Judge.Advocate.

JUDD, THE FALL TRADE. From all the business contres in the conn- try, more partioularly from the Atlantie cities, comes the cheering information of a docided rovival in business, a gradual re. sumption of operntions in tho great manu- facturing cstablishments, and an’ increased demand for money, The fog of doubt and uncertainty which for threo yeara has hov. orod over tho conntry begina to lighten, and in the near futuro are seon the prospocts of arenowed nctivity in all branches of com- merce. In the East there is abundant cause for rojoleing over the improved condition of affairs, for thore the prostration of trade was moro soverely felt, and tho depression was of longer continuance than in the Wost, The susponsiop of work in ths vast iron, cotton, woolon, and othor manufacturing cs- tablishments with which the East is oheok- ored, compolled the idle operatives to curtall their expenses of living and practice tho moat rigid economy, In the West the situation ‘was much loss onerous. Instead of a closing up of our workshops, the hours of labor were roduced, thus causinga decreased produc- tlon, which was, however, foirly mot by a domand of equat proportion. Tho great staples of the West—broadstafs, provisions, epirits, lumber, cto.—found ready sale, both for homa consumption and export, though at ces indicating & moro or lesy shrinkage In values. The result wos a more generous olr- oulation of monoy throughout the Western Btates, The fall trade, though opening o little later than usual, is fairly upon us. The tar- diuess is attributable to tho climatio unpleas. nntnessof the past two or throe weeks, which renderod the country roads almost iopassa~ ble, thuy preventing the rural population THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 187 from marketing any of tho produots of their anmmer Inbor. The exodus of country mor- chants to tho Qentonnial, many of whom aro now on their return, also contributed to tha delay, During the pnst threo or four days the hotels have been swarming with Hucsts, the streets are filled with strangers from all pnrts of tho Union, and the large Jjobbing-housos rosomblo huge boehives. The volume of business in yards and pounds shows n gratifying incronse over the transno. tions of last year, but, as prices for many classes of goods are loss now {Lan then, the aggrogate of valuos will not exhibit a gain proportionats with the increased bulk. In financlal clreles the outlook for a lInrge and prosperous business during the fall and winter in vory favorable. There is an in- orensed demand for monoy. The country bauks have drawn down their balances, and in some inatances have rediscounted tho paper of their customors. Lirge nmounta of carrency aro flnding their way to Missouri and Kansas, to be used in the purclhinse of cattlo to bo fod at tho corn.criba of Illinois aud Jowa farmers, Tho corn crop will be largo and of good quality, and the prospects aro favornbla for n largo supply of hoge. The wheat crop in Towa nnd Southorn Min- nosota shows a falling-off in quantity and quality, but this loss will bo counterbalanced by the increased ylold of corn. Advices from Northern Michigan indicato renowed netivity in the mining regions, though tho oporatives are working at a reduction of about 30 per cont in wages., The mercantile and manufacturing interests are in a honlthy conditfon. Pretty much all the wenk estabe Jisiments have nlrendy gono to the wall, al- thotigh here and thore n small concern mny ba expocted to drop out of the way, andseck relicf nt the hands of tho Bankrupt Court, Business is on n very solid foundation. Tho orodit systom hias beon greatly ourtniled,—n groator sorutiny of reputation and means than heretofore being now tho rule. There is an utter absonce of anything of n speon- lative character, thongh oncoe in a while s followor of Col, Sellers makes his nppenrance in a bank's parlor to be told that his style of doing business hns been relogated to ob- Beurity. The dry goods merchants aro in the main doing a Inrgor business than they anticipat- ed. They rather oxpected that the Centen. nial would attraot n large sharo of tho fail trado to the Enstern citics, and while it is truo that greator quantities of goods than usnnl have been purchased in Now York and Boaton, yet it is also true that many dealers, after inspecting stocks and prices at tho East, wisoly eame to the conclusion that they could do just a8 woll in Chieago, and savetlio cxira freights. The removal of Brewant to this city is looked upon with great favor by tho trade, For years thoy Lavo been: com- peting with New York at a distanceof a thousand miles; and thoy found it oxcood- ingly difienlt to convinco the country mer- chant—pnrticularly the large buyer—that ho could do as well in Chiengo as st tho mouth of the Hudson. Now; since New York has como hero bo do business, the com- potion is side by sido, nnd Clhicago will be the winner. Bottom prices for all classes of domestic goods havo beon resched, and in semo cases tho figures are lower than before tho War. In groceries thero is a good active trade. The merchants aro extending their connec. tions, and largo bills are being sold to deal- ers in Texas, Loaisinnn, and other Bouthorn States. This city has bocomo the grent dis- tributing point for Japan tens, and in sevoral instances large lines have been placed in the hands of rotailors and jobbors almost under tho nosa of New York. .Chiengo now sup- plies tens to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Pittsburg, In the hardwars, clothing, drug, and other branches of trade the outlook differs nono from that discernablo in groceries and dry goods. 'Tho roprosontative houses roport an jmprovemont in the volume of transaotions, tho ronchlng of *hard-pan” in yaluos, fairly good collections, and a kiving profit on tho capital invested. MRB. TRUMBULL'S “NEW MEN." A The news which is coming daily from South Oarolina showing the rapid sprond of terrorism over that Stato is roiterated from the whola South. Authentic dispatohes from ‘Washington, printed in our last issue, show that the hatred of Republicanism s more intenso than in 1860, and that tho sccession Democraocy of tho State has armed, drilled, and organized itsolf under the leadorehip of Hamburg Burren, who is responsible for the murder of n score of negro prisoners in cold blood. This military organization has been formed for the purpose of intimidating blacks nud breaking up Ropublican meetings, and patrols the State conutantly with that object in view. Wherever o Republican meoting is held, Burnen's armed mob appears and dis- patches it. Its ultimate object is to disfran. chiso Republicans at the polls, It makes no concoalmont of its objoct, but publicly an- nounces that it Is in for o fight, The torror- famn practiced in Bouth Carolina is spreading all over the Bouth, There is not & Southorn Stnto in which Ropublican meetings are not broken up. Shooting of Republicans in their beds ond at their firesides, hanging thom to trees, mobbing and murdering them or.driving thom off—this iy the * Misalssippl Plon " which is being adopted all over the South for the disfranchising of the Republic- an votors, And yot, in the face of the most wnblush- ing disloynlty, ruffanism, and brutality, wo are told by the Dewocrats that bygones should be bygones, that thero should be no moro references to the past, that ¢ the bloody shirt ” should be waved no longer! While murdering negroes, trampling the amend- ments of the Constitution under foot, strip- ping voters of the rights of citizonship, nom- inating original socessionists for office who have nover upheld the Union eithor befors or sinco tho War, wo are told by the Demo- crats thot wo should fraternize with the South and shake hands across tho bloody chasm ! Even Lyaax ‘Crusnuis prostitutes his Ropublican record and his War-associa. tions by asserting that the Democratic party is a party of nmow mon, A party with new Learts, born again, full of the milk of humon kindness, gushing with reconcillation towards the North and friendly sentiments towards the negro,—a party of peace, who hiave put far bohind them all suggestions and rominiscences of thelr troason, and now are loyal Union men! Wo commend to Mr. Tnuunury the case of South Carolina, Ho vory well knows that two-thirds of its voters sro Republicans, and that ft {s as mucha Ropublican State as Towa orKansas, We commend to Mr. Trompusy the situation in that State. Not a Republican meeting of which previous notice has been given can be held without interruption. Not a gathering of Republicans can tako place without being mobbed. Not a Republican can offer resist. ance to Domooratio ruffanism without boing wmurdored. The butcher of dofenseless, helpless prisoncrs at Hamburg parades the Stato ot the head of an armed mob of 20,000 ‘White-Linors and Ku.Klux, bonsting his fm- munity from punishment, nnd sprending ter- ror nnong the negroes to provent them from voting. And this party of Houth Carolinn Democerats who nare overflowing with the milk of human kindness towards their North- ern brothren, who want to Dba revonciled to them, who have forgotten the trensonable daya of socossion, and are now ovon mora gushing worshipera at the altar of the Union than the Northorn peopls themsclves, havo _nominnated for their Governor Wapz Hawmr- oy, the man who burned Columbin and ohinrged it to the Union troops, n mnn who wns an original secessloniat, who was not loyat Lioforo the War and {a no more loyal now. We commond to Mr, 'Tnustnuin thoe faot that every nomince on {ho Democratio Btato ticket of South Carolina was placed thero borause hie wns A Robel officer. Thene are Judge TruMnULL's now mon in the Dem. ocratic party! Thoso are Judge Tnumnonr's frionds, who aroe so lustily erying *“peace, peaco"; who wnut to have no reminiscencos of the Robellion; , who nre nnxious for reconcilintion; who are yenrning to shako honds noross the bloody chnsm; and who expoct the North to turn the Govern. mont over to them beeanse of their regener- ation aud renowod loyalty, Mr, Trumporu is not only n soured but a romowhat decayed politicinu npproaching a political dolago, Tt 18 possible that he may beliovoall the bosh hio utters about the spirit of loyalty nnd fraterni- ty in the South, but he must not expect that tho Northern people, whomn he hns deserted, will swallow theso Southern pretenses be- cnuso he doés. . When they sce the old Robols coming to tho front again, tho bittorest so~ censionist nominated for oflics, and Rebel mobs hunting down every man, black or white, who dares to advoeate Itepublican principles, Mr. Tnusnuny may bo assured that the loynl mon of the North will aleo ar- ray themselves to meot at the ballot-box the anmo men whom they whipped in tho battle- fleld. Theso aro not new wion, dr, TRUM- purt. The North has seon them bofore. MR, TILDEN'S DEFENSE, Mr, Trupes’s long-promisod dofense has nt Inst been published, Tt comes in the shapoe of a letter to Anrax S, Hewirr, Chatvman of tho Nntional Democratic Committee, from ono Jaxues P. Sixnorr, who seems to have Leon n clork in Mr, Tirory's law-office duriug the years when the incomo tax was assessed, aud who claims to bave. been moro familiar with Mr. Tiupex's professional sorvices dur- ing those years than Mr. ‘TirpeN himsolf, This is evidently ciled as an excuso for put- ting forward an irresponsible clerl where Tioen himself should have como to tho frout. Mr. TiLpEN has sevoral times dodged explanntions ndvanced by his friends, which had the appenrance of comivg from him, but which were found not to stand tho test of oxnmination, It is ovidently his purpose that, in cage the porson BrnNorr's statement shnll also fnll to the ground, ho may be able to deny all personal rosponsibility for it. This is n very unworthy and suspicious subtorfuge, an excecdingly slippery process. After Sin. Norr's theory shall have been exploded, it will still be olnimod that Trpex has not spoken, 1f Mr. Tioen wants to rest on Sinvorr’s explanation, he should say so, If not,ho should make a statement which mny be relied upon onco for all as his own voraion of the falsification of his income re- turns, ‘ ‘Wo have scon but n portion of Smvworr's Iotter, and an abstract of the romainder sont by telograph. But such as it appears to be from tho sample at hand, it ultorly fails to moot the charges with the directness with which thoy were mndo. The chnrges of the Now York TVmes wera threefold: (1) That Mr. TroeN falsified hisincomo roturns for 1862, in proof of which it cited a subso- quent affidavit of Mr, Tinpex's in 1876, in which ho swore ha bad received $20,000 from n singlo cliont in tho yoar 1862, and nlso o statoment. of certain othor services ronderod by him in that yesr; (2) that bho made a falso return of his income for 1863; and (8) that, during subsequont years, ho violated the law by .mnking no sworn returns whatever, but pnying a tax on what ho was nsscesed, which amounted to nn average in. come of $15,000 a year, In what wo have seon of Mr. BinNorr's statoment there is no roferenco to tho offidavit in which Tpen sworo that o recoived in 1862 $20,000 from tho 8t, Louis, Alton & Terre Hanto Compa- ny, but he takes up tho soveral items of sor- vicos rendered in that yoar as stated by the New York Times, ond undertakos to show that the sums noted wera in payment of ser- vices rendered in larga part prior to 1862, ‘whon thore was no income tax, As the ag- grogato of the sums stated by tho Times was over $100,000, the great bulk of the sorvice must have been prior to 1802 in order to re. duco his incomo for that year to $7,118, Concerning this issue of fact the Now York T'tmes says that it is entircly willing *“to moet Mr. Tiroex, and shall do so with all hasto,” Wo think it ean be shown that, in n single case, Mr, TiLDEN received from the Chicago & Alton Railrond Company the sum of $20,000 for services that were rendored withjn two months during the year 1862. Whon n - single case of ‘“onrnings” ond n single onse of “gotual receipts,” oach indopendont of the othior, show itomns of $20,000 for the income, of 1802, or noarly three timcs as much as Mr. ‘'mpeN returnod, it will bo diffteult to make out his defense by showing a reduction of the other earnings on account of services rendered prior to 1863, 8o far a8 we can judge, that is all that Mr. Binsorr has at tomptod to do. In rogard to the sccond charge, that Mr. "Truoen falsified his return for the yonr 1803, Dr, Bixnotr seoms not to have ons word to sny, As to tho third charge, that ho violated the law by failing to make any return under onth for the subsequent years, his reply is that the statute gnvo the taxpayor the option of being nssessod and paying the penalty, This is, of ityelf, whilo claiming an exemp. tion of any violation of the law which ren- dered Mr, T1zpeN Jiable to personal punishe ment, is a virtual admission that he noglected his duty as a good citizen, and that he only pald euch tax to the Government 08 he was forced to pay, Dut tho case {a oven worse thon this egainat Mr, Tieoen. By making out eworn roturns of his income for 1802 ond 1803, he induced the revenue officers to follow theso in guess- ing at his jncoms for future years, and if he fulsified theso returna he was the means of misleading them and swindling tha Goveorn. men$ for the whole term of years, Mr, Sivvorr's statement, that Mr, TiroeN de. lieved ot the time that, instoad of paying loss, ho often paid more than would have been the result of fyll but troublesome acoount. ing,"” is, of vourse, a worthless oxpreasion of an opinfon which is opposed to all the prob. abilitios of tho caso, ‘The fact is that Mr, Tirpex's frionds prom- is0d from him o full and complete explana. tion of the bad enso made out ngi on this tax matter, Instend of thi"n, :"'I;rl:nlm olerk ojmes forward with a voluble, b;: complicated nnd unsatisfactory, Dplni!’)u ™ to when sorvicos wero renderod for which Mr. 'C1t.oEN was paid in 1802, throwing gqy of account altogether the servicos rendoreq In 1862 for which he receivad his pay aubaq, quently, If Mr. 'Truoexn'a professionnl dutieg ware 60 Intge na to warrant him to keepa clork espacinlly chiarged with the enrnings op his office, which Br, Stanorr BRYH wag Jig duty, thon it would seom to bo ontiraly prag, ticablo to furnish nn abstract of My, T, DEN'S books during the years whon the in. como tax wns lovied, showing his )‘cculp(; nnd nlso his expenses and losses during thy smne time, This would hnvo beon g cloge and direct mothod of mocting the chiargos, but this is precisely what Mr. Sisvorry statomont noglocts to do, Instend of throw, ing any now light upon Mr, Triupen's Pro. fosnfounl sorvices, railroad earnings, nnd in. torast, and dividonds, and profits, during (1, yonrs when he is belloved to have nceuny, Inted tho bulk of his onormons fortune, My, Sryvorr haa aimply takon the itema whiey 1tho Now York Z'imes hos beon nble to collee in spite of Mr. Truoey, and sought to cop, fusa and complicate them.

TFor yonrs past ho has directed hiz littlo but florco pamphilots ngninst great pab. lic avils aud mischlovous policies of the En. glish Government. IHis rocont soriey direct, od agdinst the temporal protonsions of he Popo nnd the decrcos of the late Vatiesn Council have often been alluded to in thesy columns, and the substanco of thom will by frosh in tho recollactions of our renders, but neithor those nor any other of his publica. tions have heon charncterized by such force and vehomondo and snch sweoping oloquencs of indignation ns aro containod in his pam. phlet just issucd, eriticizing the Governmens for its indiroot complicity in the Bulgarisn lorrors and donling with the dutyof England in tho futuco, Tha pamphlot is G4 pages in longth, and is dedicatod to Lord Stratrosp e Repoureer, who, like Mr. Gripsroys, was once n Turkophile, but no longer shares in any delusions respecting tho futuro of Turkey. Itis too long for reproductionin T Cmoago Trinone, but a brief glanceat the salient points may be hud, thus keoping up the rocord of eurront ovents in the tangled complication of the Turco-Servian struggle. Ho commonces his panmphlet by showing how the prosont situation has bean brought nbout, For months the Ministry rofused to communicate officinl information to thona tion. 'The Houso of Commons was no botter off when it asked for it, and the country had to rely upon the nowspapers for all knowl. edgo respecting tho campnign, He docs not charge the Ministry with purposed com: plicity in arimo, but ho does chargo that the consoquences of their aots have beende plorablo ; that they have not understood the duties fmposed on them by tho Crimesn war and Troaty of Paris; that thoy hass beon romiss in making provision agaiust the misgovernment which caused tho ravolt, and that thoy have beon notive whero they should have beon circumspect by sonding the floot to Besika Bay, which was a military demonstration in favor of Turkey. Down to tho 15th of July the counts of Mr. Grivstone's indictmont nare, first, the inofficiency of the arrangements of tho Governmont for receiving infor mation ; second, the tardiness of tho menns ndopted undor Parlinmentary prossuro for enlnrging thelr informntion; nnd third, the answers of the Prime Ministor, which gave tho country to undorstand that the Bulgarians wora the initistors of cruelty, that the atroci- tiea wero equally divided and werq such as were incidontal to wars botween * certain races,” and that the Turkish Government and its agonta were not a party to them. Down even to the 12th of Angust he chnrges the Ministry with an attompt to cover tho ovents in Bulgaria with mystery and Disnaz- 11 with disguising tho main issuos, and do- clares that the repetition of the Prime Min- ister's oharges against tha Bulgarions was either the result of ignoranco or was ‘“‘a brutal calumny wpon a poople whom Tarkish authoritica havo thomsolves just described ns industylous, primitive, and docile,” Ho adds: *Tho roport of Mr, BonuyLes, to- gothor with the report from Berlin, and the prologuoe, 80 to call it, of Mr. Banimvg, in my opiuion turna the sealo, and makes thorespon- sibility of silenco, at lonst for one who was among tho authora of tho Crimenn war, tco great to be borne.” The strongest and moat important part of the pamphlet is that which doals with tho future. The first thing which he deemd needful is a moeting of the Cabinet with rofsronce to the accomplishment of thrce objects, na follows ; : 1, Toputastop to the anarchical misrulo (let tho phrase be excused), the plundering, the mar: @ering, which, as we now seom tolearn upon sufs ficlent evldenco, atfll dosolate Bulgarin, 2.
