Groenbacks at the New York Gold Ex- chnnge yesterdny closed at 91}, The enpturo of Les Tunas, n port of somo consequence on the southern coast of Cubs, sbout sixty miles west of Puorto Principe, by the insurgents, is tho source of much annoyance to tho Spaniards, who have been represonting to the outside world and fiat- tering themselves that tho insurrection was dying out. The Diario, the Spanish organ ot Havana, exposes the policy which has herotofore geverned it by stating, in connec- lion with the Las Tunas nffair, that Lerenfter It will tell the truth when giving army news in jts columns. During the past year 3,000 Spanish soldiers have deserted and joimed the patriots, In the midst of tho tremendous excitemont and interest sttaching to the campaign in fndiana and Ohio, the fact is apt to be over- looked that the Republican organization at tiome has beon brought to n stags’ of effl ciency in the highest degree creditable to the hard workers who havo dovoted themasolves 8o zealously to the details, Throughout Tllinoig, and particularly in Chicago, the cone vass is being pushed with great vigor and thoroughness, the points of which will be- somo apparent when all theloeal tickets aro made up and the fight opensall along the tine. On tho other hnnd, the Democrats, though presenting a show of considerablo activity, are neither nuited ‘nor confident of success, Iilinois Republicans will give a good account of themselves in November, Coreful observers in Indinnn nttach n great deal of importanco to the disintogration of tho Independent-Groenbaek party that must result frem the withdrawal of Mr. Worcorr, nouncement of his intention to support the Republican candidate, There 18 a vast amount of impotent rago among the schom- ing Coufederates at the complate frustration or their conspirnoy, bnt the . soft-money Re- publicans are inclined to return in a body to the regular porty lines and pay off their grudge against the treacherons Domocrats by voting solid for Bex IManntsox. In the Torro Hauto district alono it is estimated that Wor- corr's withdrawal will add u thousand votes to tho Republican Stato ticket, and the gen- cral feeling throughout the Htate isthats Republican victory next Tuesdsy i# now almost assured. Sm———— It is too much to oxpect that the New York World and Sun, the Chicago Times, and other Democratic journnls that have given currency to tho campaign lie concerning Gov. Hayes and the Americnn Alliance, will have the fairness to publish the straightfor- ward lotter of Lemven 8. Tyres, Becrotnry of tho Allianco, which wo print in another cotlumn, Mr. Trren's lottor puts tho matter in its true light, and proves how shallow and grotuitous the story was of Gov, Hives' The facts stated by tho Beoretary of the Alliance are, briofly, that Gov. Haxes was never o member of that Bocloty, and never saw or read ita constitution and by-lawa ; that no committee of the Or- der ever callod upon Goy, Hares st any time or place for any purpose ; that he was noti- fied by letter of the indorsement of his nom- ination by tho Alliance, and the lotter of Mr. Lee was nothing but a polite acknowledg- mont of the compliment. It now appears that in 1874 Mr, Troes's nomination for the Now York Governorship was indorsed by the Alliance, for which he, too, returned thanks, but urged that the matter be kept secrot lost it should injure hisstanding with the foreign. born element. This is the sum and aub- stance of the Know-Nothing canard, which Cann Bouurz has properly charnoterized as * g rockless campaign lie,” S —— The Chicago produce markets were gen- erally casier yesterday, provislons beiug quict and breadstuffs modorately nctive, Meas pork closed 10@150 per brl lower, at $10,65 @10.60 for October and $16.124 sellor the year, Lard closed 5@100 por 1001bs lower, ot $10.50 for October and §9.40 for the year, Moats were steady, at 7jo for summer shoul- ders, boxed, 90 for do sbort ribs, and 9}o for do short clears, Laka freights were dull and easy, at 8o for corn to Buffalo, Highwines were flrmor, ot 1,10 per gallon.

Sheep wore steady. Ons hundred dollars in gold would buy $100.25 in greenbacks at the oloso. From the ndvance sheets of the Congres- rional Record, giving tho offlelal report of the proceedings of the first session of the Forty- fourth Congress, somo interesting figures are gleaned. The Democrats have, been at grent paing to dodge the quostion of Bouthern claims, denying that any considerable num. bar of these olaims wore introduced in the Confodorato House. The Record shows wheth- or the Southern brothren are ns moderate and forbearing inthe matter of designs on the National Treasury as their Northern friends would like to make thom appear. It shows that in the bills for Bouthorn claims intro. ducad at the first session of the Forty-fourth Congress the amount of appropriations in- volved foots up the enormous aggregate of $2,603,622,880 1—a sum considerably ex. ceeding tha entiro national debt. Theso Dills wera kopt in the background during the sossion bocauss of the effcct on the Presi. dential election, but they were introdnced in good fnith, and in the event of Trupen's olection would be pressed pertinaciously. pretted? dchsshbell kg Within an hour after the withdrawal of the Hon, Axson Worcorr as the Greenbnok candidate for Governor in Tndiana, the Til. doniles put up snothor candidate,—one Hrxay HanniNoton, of Indinnapolis, who Instantly accepted s a Domocratic atool- pigeon to draw off votes from Gen. Hanrnt- so¥, How much he has been paid for thns prostituting himsolf to promote Confederato interests is not stated by the dispatches, He could hardly afford to do such work for nothing. 1In the wholo Stats of Indiana he will not receive 100 Democratic votes, and Lie does not desiro to seceive aven one Dom- ocratic vote. What ko is after is Republican votes, for the purposc of wonkening Hannt- soN. If the Confedorates felt as sure of earrying Indiana by 10,000 majority as they protend to be, why do they resort to this desporato trick of putling up a stool-pigoon to draw off Republicans from Hannmon? It is n sign of panio and despair, The fact is, tho Blug-Jeanites fool that an overwhelming defoat 1n all probability awaits them, snd like drowning men they are clutching at straws. The absard foature in tho case iz that the Committca which protended to put Hannmvoton onr the ticket in Worcorr's place ncted withont n shadow of nuthority, and itas proceedings have been disavowed and disowned by tho Chairman of the State Gen- tral Committee. NEED OF A S0LID NORTH. The hopes of thie Democratio party in the presont campaign are concontrated in the ‘“Bolid South.,” By sdding two or three prominent Northern States to the * Solid Bonth,” they expect to rogain posscssion of the National Government, and resumo that control which they lost when the Solid South attempted the treasonable not of secession. In other words they propose, in order to get into power, to allow tho * Salid South” to capturo ond coutrol the Government which sixteen years ago it sought to destroy. ‘The arraying of one scction of the coun- try ngainst another is always tobo deprecated, but an examination of the policy of the ** 8olid South ” before and sinco the War will show that there is o nocessity for a solid North, and that as tho Southern States ara solidifying their votos for Tinoew and Hen- oricEs by means of that system of ostracism, porsecution, and murder known aa the Afis- sippi plan, tho Northern States must solidify their votes by all honorablo meana for Hayss and Wreeren, ThoSouth was solid befors tho War, and ruled the Governmont., It was solid in the defenso of slavery, It was solid in Jofying the anthority of the Government. 1t went solidly into tho secession movoment, It fought the North solilly on sen and land. It was golid in ifs in- lhumen treatment of Union eoldiers in the prison-pons, From tlo time tho firat ‘gun was fired on Sumter to the surrender of Lz it was solid ju all its military operations, 5 it had boon solid in all its politieal policios Defore the War, and it was conquered by tho solid North, The Government was eaved, secession was overthrown, and the Union was reconstructed by the solid North, For a timo the Bouth fulfilled its obliga- sions and carried out its parole of surrender, but whon it fancied thero was a prospect tlie Domoeratio party might be snccessful it agein becamo o ** Bolid Bouth.” The White- Liners, the Ku-Klux Klans, and the ex-Robels united honds once more fo get pos- sesslon of tho Governmunt by dis. franchising the entivo Republican party in tho South and casting its. vote solidly for Tiroex and Henpricrs, It is now #olid in its detormination that no Republican meotings shall be held in that scction, It s solidly ostracised white Republicans, re- fusod to buy or sell to them, driven them from their homes, and barred out Northern capital and omigration. It has solidly mur- dered nogroes, burned their homes, and shut up their schools and churches, It has united solidly to obstruct the operation of the constitutional amondirents guaranteoing the rights of citizenship to overy man, re. gardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, It lias solidly dotermined that ot the forthcoming clection either the Re- publican vote stall not be polled or that it shall be so far reduced by intimidation as to count for nothing, To offset theso purposos of the * Solid South," the solid North must rise as it roso when tho nows from Sumter flashed over the wircs. It must array itsolt solidly ogainut tho Bouth, Tho minority faction of the Deomoorntio party North, composed of dough- faces and Copperhiends, must bo taught that 80 long as they depend upon the * Bolid South ™ to get possession of the Govern. mont, the solid North will meot them and provent it. They mustbe taught that one seotion of tho country shall not be allowed to soize the reins of power by obstructing the Constitution and the laws, They must be taught that they shall not be allowed to con. trol the Government so long as they strip tho Southern Ropublicans of the right of suf. frage. It is timo for the solid North to close up ite columns, and move steadily forward to the ballot-box as it moved steadily for- ward to the fleld of battle sixteen years ago, to defond the Constitution and to secure overy citizen of the country tho rights guaranteed bim by that Constitution, The Democrats boast that thoy out down tho appropriations for 1876.'7 by §28,000,000, less soveral millions not included in the esti- mates, which will turn up next winter in the slape of deficlency bills, Dut the main point is, how much did theyreduce taxation? What taxes did they repeal? In what way did they lighten the public burdens? 'The foct is, they ropealed no taxes oud did not lighten tho publio burdens one dollar, not- withstanding all their pretended ecouomy and retrenchment. This {5 widely different from the pructice of the Republicans when thov contrelled Couurcss. A8 soon us tha THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1876—TWELVE PAGES. ‘War was falrly over and the army paid off and musterod ont of serviee, tho Republicans began repealing taxes, as witness the follow- ing list of reductions for sovernl years, undor Ropublican auspices, embracing simply the onnual reductions in intornal taxation and customs-duties « Act of July 15!“ 1864, +4$03,000, 000 Act of ;‘llrfll 3 114\;!’7. + 40,000, 000 0, 187 The Ropublican rule was first to cut down oxpensss, and then repoal » lot of {axes, sud thus lighten the burdons of the people, The Demooratio rulo is to protend to roduce ox. ponditures, creata a big deficlency to bo mado good after the eloction, repeal no taxes, and then proclaim themselves as brill. iant reformors! COLORADO, We publish in another column a press dis- patch fromn Denver giving returns from a fow Colorado counties which had not pra- viously beon heard from, and confirming in tho most positive torms tho provions reports of asweoping Republican victory, that party baving elected its Governor and Congress. man by over 1,000 majority, and having {wo-thirds of the Legislatare. Thia trinmph has boon secured in tho face of the fact that thae ignorant Grensers who live in the south. orn counties voted the Domocratio ticket ns often as was thought necessary. This heavy voting by the most debased, corrupt, and ig. norant partof the community mighi have pulled the Democrats through had it not beon that the intelligent northern counties did what well-educated sections do every- where—cast an overwholming voto for the Republican candidates. Yet, in spite of those reports, the aceursoy of which cannot be impeached, we have no iden that the Chicago Zimes, with its Domo- cratio idens concerning the truth, will ceaso claiming that tho State has Dbeen car- riod by the Confederates. That paper contained yesterdny a mass of spurious elec. tion returns, eithor forged in its office or gent by somo tool in Colorado, purporting to show that the Domooracy bad elected their candidntes for Governor, Congressman, ete, The object of this wholesalo falsification was to delude tho supportors of Blue-Jean WiLi- 1ams into the belief that they had carried Northern State, and the businoss Is to bo kept up persistently by the Times oand its ollies until Tucsday morning. The following day it will own up that tho now Stato has repudiated Coppor- hendism by an overwhelming majority. This lying, to bo carricd on for s weok through the medium of bogus dispatches in the Times and other Confedorata organs, would have done well enough in the dags when railronds and telegraphs were un- known, but now detection follows falsehood 8o fast that wot ovon tho darkest Democrat in Indiana i ignorant of the fact that some. thing is wrong in Colorado, Would it not therefora be as well for the Times to own up that its party is whipped, and cense disput- ing with manifest destiny ? THE SECESSION CAMPAIGN, We are afraid that the trains which carried the thioves, ronghs, ballot-box stuffers, and hired vagabonds to the Indianapolis mesting of Democratia sailors and soldiers also carried into Indiona somo other porsons of whom THinois may possibly feel somowhat ashamed. .According to all nccounts, ex-Gov. Pannen Ioccupied s moro conspicaous position ot the meeting than did Banxey AApoN, but Bansey had the advantage in that ho kept his mouth shnt. 'That is not one of Gov, Parven'a ox- cellent habits. Jonn M. ParMEs is a curious combination of inconsistencies, and, wo may ndd, nbsurd- ities. Ho was for many yoars the oraclo of a small district in & Democratio part of the State, The party gonorally, as they did TrumbvLy, overlooked him, When the re- poal of the Missouri Compromise took place, ho was o Democratic membor of the Stato Senate, In’ tho wintor of 1855 ho declarad his indepondenco of the Damocratic party, but refused to vote for Mr. LiNcoLN nsa Sonator of tho United States becanse Lrxcory was o Whig! His objection to tho Whig party wns that it was a nationnl party, upholding the nationality of the United States, nnd denied the theory of a confoderation of sovereignand independent States. "Paraen was then, kad been before, hns gince been, and s now, as oxtreme a be- liever in the doctrine of Biato Ilights as oither Caumous or Jery Davis, Notwith- standing ho was intenscly dogmatic on this point, bo united with the Republican party, supporting Faesmonr 1 1856 and LiNcoLy in 1860, Pending the socession of the Bouthern States he ropresented Iilinols in the Peace Congress, and was an extrome man in favor of peace on any terms, Aftor that ho raised a regiment of troops and with them invaded soveral sovoreign States, with n uational flag, wearing a national uniform, waging war in tho name of the nation upon a people whose Btates had, in TroEn's lan- guago, ** snapped the singlo slender and con- ventional tio of tho confederation,” and wero oxcrcising thoir sovereignty and right to re. pel invadion.

Some troops wore ordered te Chloago to preserve peaco and order, and some tents and blan- kets were sent horo for the uso of the suffer. ing. Our Governor suddenly remembercd that Illinols was a sovercign State, which did not admit the right of interferenco by the United Btates to protect the people of Chicago either by preserving tho peaco, giv- ing shelter to the homeless, or food to the storving. Once off on this topio, the Gov- eruor got wild; sud ever since that time it has only boon nocossary to say ** Chieago " in his presenco to oxcito bim into a ropoti- tion in ertenso of all his correspondence with BreRrIDAN, Graxt, tho Mayor of Chicago, and the public gonerally, in defenss of the sov- orcignty of Illinoia as opposed to tho na. tionality of tho United BStates, e had linrdly been introduced to tho Indisnnpolls meoting a8 an ox-Govornor of Illinois Lo- foro he Inunched into & somewhat excited oxplanation of how ho had, when Chicago was in ruing, vindicated the sovereignty of Tlinols, of which he was Governor, by de. mnnding that no troops shonld oxercise any pawar or protaction to life or property with. {n his realm, In 1872 he declared in favor of GnerLey, wlho was an pronounced o nationnlist as was in the country, and on tho stump advooated the cloctfon of that venerable Whig, Protec- tiontat, Abolitionist, and hearty opponent of tho doctrine of Btate Bovereignty. Now, he 1ins » condidate of his own original way of thinking. Ho finds the thoory of tho Gov- ernment exprossed aftor his own fashion by TroeN, who in his lotter to Judge Kent pro- | sonts the theory of our Govornment as fol. lowa: Y ‘They [the tathers] forasaw that a singlo Govern- ment, exerclaing all tho powers of socloty over tho peoplo destined tooccupy 8o vast & reglon as the United States, and embracing the elements of such diversities of tndustry, opinion, habits, and men- ners, would be Intolerable fo bearand impossidle to continue, They, thereforo, largely adopted the federativo {deas on tho mixed system, which tiey eatabllehed; and, vesting only the powers apper- taining to our foreign relations, and to certain apecifled common objects of a domestic natureina JSederative agency, they left the great residuory Taes of governmental functions to the several States. Following this up, he declares that in caso & Ropublienn bo elected President, tho ““Federative Govornment” would become precisely such o Governmont to the South ag was that of Grorow the Third to the Colonies. Horo is his own langunga: 1t such an organization as tho Repnblican party should acqnire possossion of the Federative Gov- crnment, what sort of o system wonld it bo? To the people of the Aifteen States it would be a foreign Qorernment. 1twould be erocted over thom through tha forms of their Constitntion; but that would not affect ita practical character, Nonoof thelr citl- zens would have concurred in bringing the Admin- {stration fnto existence, None of their pablle opinfon wonll bo represcated in that Adminls- tration. Spenking of tho fifteen [Sonthorn] States tulod by the cightoen other States, control- ling the foreign Government, he proceeds: ‘Theantipathles of each aro directed agalnsta, distant peoplo, Each I8 organtzed Into States with complete governments, Rolding the power and wielding the sward.

Nzaw, Dow porsonally, for some sugnr token by o foraging party of his regi- ment, {8 o signal failuro. Dow's regiment was in Lonisinng, and tho foraging party camo acrosd a sugar refinory, and the men took n quantity of sugar. Tho owner npplied to tho Colonel for payment, and was told that it he would provo his loyalty ho would bo given n rceoipt. This he refused to do, and brought suit for tho valuo of the sugar in n State court. Dow not being present, judgment was given against him for 81,700, After the War this judgment was sent to Maino and smit was brought upon it. Judge Crarronp had tho case beforo him for cight years, ond made no decision; but Intely, in view of tho probsble res- tommtion of the Democratic parly to power, ho concluded to affirm the judgment agninat Dow. This decision is re- gnrded at tho South na a vast atride towards a general recognition of the Sonthern clnims, "The judgment is sgainst Dow personally for tho value of sugar taken by a foraging party of his regiment. This decision is to the ef. foct that the natlonal troops wero actually, as Mr. TiLpEx sald they were, trespassers upon Southern eoll, and each soldier wos personally responsiblo for all the acts of himself and his companions, A logical do- duction from this would bo that the use of armod troops against the South was uncon. atitutional, and that all the damage to life, person, and proporty was of necessity, en- titled to componsation. This would entitle tho poople of tho Rebel Btatos not only to be compensatod for all their losses, of whatover kind, inflicted by the War, but that the wounded, who were only defending them. selves ogainst unjust invasion, should be paid penslons, and the surviv- ing representatives of tho killod should be adoquately remunerated for the loss of husband, father, brother, or son, If this decision in the Dow case be held to be cor- rect, and each officer and soldier personally ia reaponsible for whatever damngo he may have cousod in the War, then it follows that tho War {tself wos an unconstitutional and unjust invasion of tho Bouthern States aud pbople, for which both the soldiers engaged in it and ¢he Government must justly make full compensation. Such a decision, made fust ot this time, will of course fire the Bouthorn heart, and give to those people A additional hopo.that, with a Domocratic Ad- ministration and a Domooratio judiclary, the South will have an ample peouniary satisfac. tion for tho past, and an assurance that when secossion be again rosorted to thoro will be no war and no subjugation. Judgo Oranx, who occuplod the Dench with Judge Crivrorp, declining to concur in tho judgment, the case wns cortified lo the Buprome Court for final adjudioation, Dut, neverthaless, such a docision mada by p Jus- tico of tho Bupremo Court will be accopted by theso Southorn claimanta as full of promiag, and this will not be at all unreason. able on their part, If Tripen bo eleoted, they will havo tho Presidont and Cabinet; all the necounting and anditing offices of the Government; all tho Law Dopariment; a mn- fority in both branches of Congress, and ovontually a majority of the courts. Are tho peoplo of tho North, who have to pay thesa claims, prepared to invite a taxation to pay sovoral thousands of millions of dollars for the damages inflicted in prosconting the War to maintain the Union? If they are secking for additional taxation on a grand soale, they will cortainly obtain it by eclect- ing Trozx. : "Tho presont aspeat of tho produce move- mont in the West is anything but satisfac- tory to partles in the trade, or to:those out- sido who aro intorested in tho wolfare of tho grain.raising and grain.dealing community. Our warehousos contained at the cloge of Jast weok nearly 4,000,000 bushels of grain, and the stock has sinco boon acoumulating at & rother rapid rato, under large roceipts and light ehipments. The market for our great staple, corn, cnmo almost to n stand-still yestorday, ‘En- cournged by extraordinarily low freight rates and not vory high prices in the West, buyers in the Esstern States tfld in the ‘British Isles have takon hold vory frecly this nutumn, and A fow wooks ago our stock of corn was reduced to a very low point. But tho rocont favorablo weather for curing the now corn has assured tho formers that they will be able to usoe the crops of 1876 at an eatly date, and thoy havo rushed thelr roserves of old corn for- ward to market at o rate which nstonished many peoplo in the trade. Moderately active shipments have failed to koep pace with the influx, and buyers are now falling bnok, unwilling to pny the higher freight rates domanded by lnke carriers in the don. gorous month of October. The wheat market has been artificisl, to 8 considernblo extont, for a conple of months past. A combination, believed to include parties in Chicage, Milwaukes, and Mon- treal, havo kept up tho prico of tho specula- tive grade to so high n point as compared with tho prices ruling in other markets that tho business of shipping on legitimate ordors bhos beon stopped, tho limits meb to agents in this city having beon 8@14 conts below the ourrent market price lere during the last half of September. Tho result of this combination was also to keep up the price of the old No. 2 to an equality with the new, though most oporators considered the latter toba worth some 10 cents per bushol more than the former, for milling purposes. Honco abont the only shipments of old wheat made have beon in the intorest of tho combina- tion, and the new whent is moving out very slowly. Moanwhile tho wants of East- ern buyors are being willingly met by tho producers of tho winter-wheat regions and our splondid quality of spring whent, of the crop of 1876, is vainly waiting for pur- chasers; whilo advices from the country in- dicate that the conntry warehouses are flllod to overflowing, and only want railroad faoili- tios to deliver it ot & muoh more rapid rate than pow, i : We aro rapidly nearing tho close of tho scnson of pavigotion, after which shippers will have to depend on tho tendor morocies of railrond corporations. Our bins ought now to ba nenrly empty, in proparation for the storago of grain that comes forward during the winter to awnit wator faollities in tho spring. With plonty of storage-room, and large nmounta of capital waiting remunern. tivo cmployment in canying it, the grain trado of this city would be active the coming winter, and the railroads bo unable to extort high pricca for oarrying grain to tho seabosrd, 1If, however, there should be a glut here,—n prossure for storaga sccommodation in the West,—thero in too much ronson to fosr that the grain. owners' exiremity would be seized as the rallroads’ opportunity. We might expeot to seo a roturn to high-tariff rates that would lenve comparatively little to ‘the grower to compensate him for his trial, and make the Weat comparatively poor a8 & consequonce. It in to the interost of all concerned that the wheat, and corn, and oats now in stors in this city bs moved forward before tho close of navigation, ANOTHER BAMFLE SOUTHERN CLATM. The Cinclunati Commercial, which has boen making a very rigid examination of the Southorn claime, has uncarthed one which may stand as a fair sample of the impudence and assuranca of tho ox-Robels, Thefollow- ing is the official entry of tho claim: No. 14103, Cranizs Q. Warn, Frrsivan Lex, and Gronaz W, C. Lex, oxccutors of ANNA M, Pl;znuou. late of Alexandria County, Va., do- coated, x Claim filed May 20, 1872. Value of 125,000 cords oak and plue timber, cut and taken from the ostate of Ravensworth, Farfax County, by orders of varlons Quartermasters, in 1801, '02, '03, '04, and '05, at 83 per cord, $375,000, Tho primary condition of establishing a clalm before the Commissioners is proof of tho loyalty of tho claimant,—n vory necesanry restriction, sinoo the admission of all the Southern claims without any regard to the queation of loyalty would spoedily bankrupt the Treasury, bosides eatablishing a precedont contrary to the usagos of all nations in time of war, The AsNA Frrznuam claimant in this ‘case was a cousin of Gon, Lex, and tho testimony beforo the Commissioners estab. lished the fact of hox disloyalty, and also showed that on ono occaslon she remarked that, *befors she would take the oath of allegiance to the United States, she would sacrifico all tho property that sho had.” The residuary logatco of Mre. Firzovam twas Many Ousris Lee, the widow of Gen. Lie, who nover made sny protensions to loy- alty, The disloyalty of all parties con- cerned being established, of course tho claim was rejected. But there is another featura of this clnim to be considered, illus. trating the cupidity os woll as assurnnce of the averago Bouthern claimants, The amount charged in tho bill is threo dollara per cord, It was shown that in 188 standing wood had been offered the Government at seventy-five cents a cord more favorably eituated than Mrs, Frrzavou's, and that on the next es. tato sdjolning Ravensworth, called Annon. dale, a lorge quantity of weod bad been sold to the Government at one dollar por cord, which waa above the market price. To show still further tho exaggeration of this cloim, it was in evidenco before the Commissioners that the entiru Baveuswood properly, em- bracing 7,820 acres, was nasessod at 78,200, both before snd slnce the War, and that this was about two.thinds of ‘the supposed cash valne. In other words, while the whole proporty was not worth over $100,000, & olaim for $375,000 was put in for a part of the wood alono! Thoe claim was rofected like many othors, nnd Jike many others it is hold in aboyanco ponding tho time when s Domocratia Ad- ministration mny come into power, Should Tuoey and Hexoriors bo elected, it will ba presonted and will be pnid. Who is to pay it? Have Northern peoplo consldored the fact that thoy aro the ones who must suffer? Do the Northern taxpnyers roflect that aftor paying tho legitimato expenses of tho War they will be bled to pay for the damnago that waa occngioned by the Unlon army in subdu- ing Robels? The Bouth will naot bave to pay theso colossal and frandulent olaims, It is tho North that must sottlo tho bill it T~ peN and Iznonrors ave olected, and even Consz, OAmeroN, Parxen, Fanyswonts, and their army of go.called soldiors and sailors who went {o Indianapolis, those who cameo home, and those whom they left behind to stuff ballot-boxes, will have to help, THE END OF A TILDEN FALSEHOOD. A fow dnys ngo the Obicngo organ of the Confederates dovoted a largo space to tho dissomination of the Know-Nothing lies sont out by Trrozn's Literary Burean, of No, 59 Liberty strcet, New York, ogainst Gov. Hayes, Among other thingas it published the following, purporiing to be partofa special dispatoh from Now York: At the Conventlon of the American Alliance, hold In Philadelphina on the 4thof July last, RuTuzn- ronu B, Hars and Wintau A, WaBeLER were nominated as the candidates of the American Alll- anco for Prosident and Vico-Preajdant of the United States. On tho 7th of July, inoncof the parlors of the Continental Hatel, Gov. HAves recelved & Committes from that Conventlon, of which Laxs, of Ohlo, was Chatrman, which Committee informed Harns of hls nominstion, and ¥ayxs thereupon thanked the Commitice, and accepted the nomi- natlon, * Now, supposing this statement to bo true, what of it? TiLoex don't objoot to receiving the votes of any class of porsons who choose to vota for him. A candidato of ono of the grent national parties does not indorso the sentimenta of outside foctiona or sociotios who may talk of casting their votes for him. But it turns ont that the pratended dispatch to the Chicago Timesfrom TiLoeN's Literary Burcan asserts falsshoads. No committea of tha * American Allinnce,” of which Lams, of Ohio, wns Chairman, called on Gov, Hayzs st the Continental Hoto! of Philadelphia or pnywhero else. No such commitice waited onbim anywhere, The charge ia a fiction ovolved out of the {nner conscionsness of Troey's Literary Bureau. The Columbus correspondent of tho Chicago Z'imes hea in- torviowod Gov, Haves, and tolegraphs the result as follows : Spectal Telsgram o the Chicago Timer, Cotuanus, O., Oct. 6,—~Tho publication of tho Jac sinile lotter from TAves' private secretary hns becn the senention of the doy. IAves denies that any committee of the Amarican Alllance called on him at the Continental Hotel on July b, or any other day, and says ho left Philadelphia for Ohto eatly on the morning of tho Gth; also, that no committen of the Alllance called on him hore July 9, oratany other time, with coples of the oath or constitation of tho Order, and all that thero s in tbls story Iv that o letter was recelved here in July containing n copy of the rosolutions adopted at s special conforence of the Alllance, and which wero published in Eastern papers In full. I have seen a cony of these resolutions, and they do not in any way refer to the principles of this Order, o reler to forelgners in any way. Secrotary Lex's letter was written in reaponae to the last resolation, which Indorscs the nomination of Harrs and ‘Whuezsen, Becretary Lrx says ho has sent similar Tetters to German and Irieh cluba and ather palitls cal organlzdtions, which sent copies of reaolations {ndorsing Haves' nomination. Thesa lettors have been sont without consultation with Tiaves, os was this particular Jotter, und that HAYEs nover saw this letter until It appeared in print. You now ‘have both sides of the story. A fow weeks ago a protended letler of Gov, Havra appoared in anumbor of Con- federata papers, but was promptly brauded g o forgery, and its circalation was stopped. It purposed to be writton by Gov. Havrs in reply to a communication from somo persona styling themselves the ** American Alliance,” The forgery rend as follows : PuILADELYALA, July 5, 1870.—7T0 the Secrelary of the American Alllance~Sin: I havo Justre- colved yourJetter informing mo of my cloction as a member of your admirsble Allance. Return my thanks to the Alllance, as J deeply sympathize with s principles, I remaln, your fellow-citizen, R. B, Haxzs. Notwithstanding that this silly invention was pronounced spurious weeks ago, the Chicago Times makos it the centre of an arti- clo around which it woaves a column of falschood. At the very moment the editor was Inboriously concocting his tissue of base- loss slush ho had before his ayes a spocial dispatch from his ownreporter in Columbus, which informed him that Gov. Haves had mot no Commitico in Fhiladelphia or clsowhero from the Americon Al liance on tha 6th of July or any other day, nnd that no such Committee had called on him at any timo or place; that he Liad written no lottor tonny Committeoof tho ¢ American Alllanco,” and that no Committee of tho *“Allianco” ever called on him with copies of the oath or constitution of their Or- dor. Yet, in tho face of this plain and em- phatic refutation of the false charges, the “indopendent” editor of the Zimes roiter- otes tho contomptible falsehiocods and re- publishes the ailly forged letter! Is this wretched work intended to fool voters in In. diana until aftor next Tuesdny? Tias not the cditor of that shoot sagacity enough to per. celve that he is in dangor of disgusting those ho is atriving to deceive, and producing a re- netion whiocli may cost his party fitty votes for every one ho can make by euoh tricks ? ‘The Republican non‘\l;muon-n for Congress in the First and Becond Districts of this State are meeting with cloquent commendations all over the country.
