SBATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 187G, Greonbacks ot the New York Gold Ex- chango yesterday closed at 013}, Gov. Ketroaa, of Louisiang, in n timely dispatch to the Chairman of tho National Ropublican Committee, exposes tho falsity of a statement sont Norih by tho Now Or- loans Democratic Committeo to tho effoct that 10,040 Democrats had been arrested up- on groundless charges of falso rogistration. No such roport was published in the Now Orloans papors, becauso thero the lio would havo been instantly contradicted, but it was sent North for circulation where it could not be so quickly disposed of. A branch of the Twpen Literary Burean located in Baltimore has issued n campaign history of Andersonville, in which the heav- enly delights of that celobrated military pleasure-resort aro piotured in a stylo that casts Bey Hivy wholly in the shade. It ap- pears, however, that, by some unncconntable oversight, * the roverso of this beoutiful skotch is omitted, no mention being mado of the flendish atroecities practiced upon tho Rebel prigoners in Chicngo, Elmira, and other Northorn cities. ‘This owmission is n serious defeet that should bo romedied at ouco, Bomething good has come out of Now Jer- sey. The jury which has for wovernl days been sitting in the caso of the prize-ring murderer WEEDEN, and the scconds in that brutal ight, Goopwix and Cozrizn, has ron- dored o verdict of guilty on tho indictment for manslaughter, sud the Judge hny fixed their sentenco at sixyears in thoe State Peni- tontinry. ‘I'wo other aidors aud abetters of the murderous mill were given two yeors cach nt the snmo correctionary resort, The only thing to be regretted in connection with this affuir is that any of tho partics survived lio opisodo to burden the Commonwenlth with tho expenso of a trial. Trmoey's lotter on Southorn claims is made Lhe subject of # most excellont address issued yesterday by the Republican National Committes, aud printed in our columns this morning. Numerous large-sized holes are discoverad in the artful fabrie woven by tho great word-torturer who wroto that re. markable lotter of accoptanco (which nobody to thisdny can intelligently coustrue) through which the promised veto may slip— holes which Bax Tmosy hed distietly in view whon he issued the pre-lnnugural proc- lmmation rejecting Bouthorn claims.

Wo can tell Mr, Lz Moxne, in whosa interost thoso untrue and defamatory chargea aro madoe, that the wisest thing lo can do is to call off his dog. Heis not going to boat tho Republican candidate by gotting his or. gon to publish a mosa of contemptible lies against him, Mr, BoexTaNo was tho best and most efliciont Consnl that has cver held the offico at Dresdon, nnd our Minister at Borlin stated that ho was ona of the very best in Gormany, Itis rather contemptible for Lz Moxng to be mnking those mienn at- tacka upon a man who is his suporior in ability, attainments, and statosmanship. Blandor and vilification of the most ma- liclons character have been tho only auswer which the TiLpeN organs could make to the damnging statement. of tho Rev. E. W. Frowen, read at the Indinnapolis Convention of Soldiers aud Sailors, nareating tho abusive trentment ho recoived from Tinpex upon soliciting his assistanco in retaining a position in the Now York Custom-Honsa under the Democratic regime so suddenly brought about by President Jonnson, Tmoey, it will be remembered, cursed tho onelegged applicant for having gono totho War, saying, with much profan. ity, that it wasa pity that he badu't lost both legs. Mr. Frowen, who subsequently ontered the Episcopal ministry, and is now the Reoctor of n church at Houghton, Micl., is vouoched forin the highest torms by his Bishop nud brothor clergy, and by citizens of prominonce, ns will bo seon by onr Detroit correspondonce. His stalement was truo boyond question, and the Democratic at- tempts to defame him havo only brought tho truth into greater prominence. BHALL WE FAY REBEL CLAIMS OR DIS- SOLVE THE UNION 1 Tho apecial *‘vato " letter of Mr, Tiroex removes all doubt that tho sixteen Southern States will unitedly present the claims of the Confederates for the £2,500,000,000 in com- pousation for losses suffered during the War of the Rebellion. Mr, Troes concedoes thnt this domand will be made by thesa people, backed up by the Governments of ench of thoso States, Has 1t ever occurred to thoso who propose voting for TipEy what will be tho effect in cnse the claims are paid, and what tho effect in caso of his elec- tion? What will bo the effect in caso thoy are rofusod? The Southern politicians never make mistakes in selecting their men, They rojected Hexny Cray and took Porx, and they rojectod Van Bunex when they considered bim unsafe. They rejected Scorr nud took Prence. They also selected Bucuanay, and wero not mietaken in the men, They re- pudiated Dovoras and sclected Bneckex. wwoe. Thoy did not select Gneerry, but thoy did select Trupen. There is no Instanco of their solecting o candidate who proved falso to thom. ‘Chey know ‘[ipey, and be- live him to be ono of them. It ig idlo to suppose that the Confederates of the Sonth have any interest in this olec- tion which rises above thoeir cxpectntion of getting offices, power, and the two thousand five hundred millions of dollars’ war damages which they claim, That sum of money to them, in thoir shiftless, lazy, idle, impover- ishod condition, s n bonauza of unproce- donted proportions. It is moro than the cash value of all their slave proporty boforo the War, Itis greater than. the indemumity paid by Frauce to Germany, To a non-a. boring class of poople, it is o princoly cn- dowment of * the superior race.” These peoplo have not studied Mr, Tiz- oeN's record in vain, They find him for over tlurty years n strenuons advoente nnd defender of tho ‘“sovercignty of tho Statgs,” Ho was vohement in his denuncintion of tho doctrine and policy of coercion, denying tho power of the Genoral Government to com. pel o Stato to do or not to do any not, or to compel the people of a Stato to submit to avy law ngainst the authority of the State it~ self. 1o was ono of that classof constitutional Inwyors who insist that tho alleginnco of n citizan {8 duo to his Btato, aud ouly duo to the * confedoracy " to the extent which the Btato consents, Ho donied that there was any National Government of thoe United States, insisting that the Government at ‘Washington was a mero ** fedorative agonoy,” with no authority whatever in the Stato, ex- cept through the State nuthority and by the consent of the Btate. Ho held that South Caroling, within her own territory and inthe governmont of hor people, was as indopend- cnt of the Govermmont at Washington s was Franco, and that if South Carolina should withdraw from tho contrnct or agroemont with tho othor States,.sho was ns free to do 0 s waa Frauco to withdraw from o troaty with tho United States. In fact, ho hold that the tio Liolding thoStates togothor as o Union was o slender and o convontional one, which any Btato at plensure might suap asunder; that, while the Constitution did not provide for socossion, it rocognized orguonizod rovolu- tion by any Btate whouevor the State should deslre to abandon the confedornoy, All of Mr, TiupEN's argumonts on this subject wo havo ropontedly published in "Tug Tnmuye, The Houth know their mon when they nominated him at Bt. Louis and when thoy organized a ‘‘Solid Bouth" to elect him, Mr, Troey hes givon notico in his lottor that he will veto a cortain class of *{n. curred " claime; but the South understands this Jottor, and will voto for him accordingly, If Tiwpex bo elected, theso claims will, as ho concedes, bo presonted for payment, What thon? If they Lo pald, if tho South, alled by a fow of tho Northern Democrats, pass the bills, nud Tizoex approve them, then that means national bankruptoy and national ruln, But it a fow of the Northorn Demo- grats and the Republicans, with or without TieoeN, refuse to psy theso claims, sud ro- fuso to vote the five or six hundred othor millions of subsidy to tho South, what then? “Tho Bolid South will make the distinet lssuo: ‘‘Pay us this money or we will withdraw from the Union." They withdrew in 1801 ou the ove of the elcotion of a Preaident who bad no coustitutionsl objections to lovying a war and coorcing thom to submission, But | uow, in 1877, there will be a Prosident who recoguizes that thero is no nutional authority that can bo exercised over a sovereign State, who himself has taught that cach State has the constitutional right of revolution, aud moy at ooy time snap asunder the morely conventional tio that holds n Stato THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1876—TWELVE PAGES.

During his offieinl term thero can be no war to cooreo thesa sixteon Btates, and during these four years they will hava their Confederacy organized and in operation; duringdhat time they ‘can reorganize their 1abor system, re-establish their slave propor- ty, and bo in full operation as nn independ. ent Reopublio, beforo a Prosident with differ- ent opinions can be elected in 1881, “Pay s, or wo secede,—wao'll go out of the Union, nid, being protected by Tiroen from war, wo can organizo our Confederacy.” Then will come tho Demoocratic party of the North with itsschomeo: * Dotter pay theso clnims, gront ns they are, than have these States go ont, and argnnizo n new Confedernoy. It will Le clieapor to pay thom tho clnims than to dis- solve the Unlon or have anothor war.” Then will be doveloped how well and nccu- ratoly the South have mensured the man they have determined to elect.

A SPECIMEN OF TILDEN'S “CHEEEK." What Mr. Hatsteap called Tipen's “ faculty of apprchension” hins como out very strong in thoeso latter days of the cam- paigu. When he found that the peoplo wero waking-up to the real danger and threntoning imminenco of tho Southern claims’ business, he coused to ba published n letter designod to allay tho public fears and divert public at- tontion, And now that it has become moral- ly certnin that he can only bo elected by in- timidation nt tho South and frauds on the bal- lot-box at the North, he bas tho conspicuous effrontery to issuo the following proclama- tion ¢ Improper and illegal use of money at olectlons Is, in some portions of the State, 8 ecrious and growing cvll, sometimea thwarting the unbiased will of tho people, and nlways debanching public virtue, both of oflicers and electors, Tho stringent statntes and recontly-ndupted constitutional pro- visione relating to tho subject, If vigorously on- forced, nre sufliclent to soon eradicate the covil. Now, therefore; 1 call upon a)i District Attornoys and other public oficers to be vigilant in detecting and dlligent in prosccuting persons guilty n? the crime roferred to within thelr respectivo countles; and 1 respecttully nsk all good cltizens of the State to ald them In thelr cfforts, Duneat the Capltol in tho City of Albany, this 2d day of November, In the year 1870, Saxvee J.

By the CGovernor: Cuanea StEDniNs, DPrivate Secretary, Mr. lmoeN ‘““doth protest too much,” Such a proclamation as this only sorves to remind tho people that it was Lio who signed the circular lotter calling for carly roturns from tho rural districts in 1868, so 1t might Lo known how large a Democratic mnjority in the city was nocessary to overcomoe the Ropublican majority in the State. It recalls tho fact that Lo was Ohairman of the Demo- cratic Stato Commilteo during the year when tho notorious frauds were committed in be- holf of Seysmoun, It recalls the fact that Honack Gnnerey openly charged Lim with Leing cognizant and tolorant of these frauds, if not porsomally engnged in committing them, It reealls the fact that he wont to St. Louis by proxy and bought his nomination in very much tho same way as Hoxie bought his nomiuation for Congressinthiscity. It recalls tho fact that Indiana was carried in Octobor by frauds which wero worked out through the PrupeN funds. It recalls tho fact that hia ngents have been * working” Wisconsin with tho same purposs of buying votes, ‘This is about the only offect that a procla. mation from T1Loex about an honest olec- tion is likely to bave. It is tha most Pick. wickion thing of the campaign, nud was evi- dently intended to be so understood by tho Tanueany crowd in New York, Thero is hopo that the Democratic frauds in Now York City and Brooklyn will be provented, or at lonst kopt down to a very grent extent, but it will ba through the thorough organiza- tion of tho Ropublicans, the operation of the United Statos Election Inw, and tho vigi- Iance of the Bupporvisors appointed by tho United Btates Court,—and not through nny proclamation of Sax TiLpex's nor its con- struction by his Tammany ngonts, NEW YORK CITY POLITICS, The withdrawal of Comptrollor Gneen from tho canvass for tho Mayoralty of Now York City matorially modifics the political situation in the Empire Btate. As tho suc- cessor of the ‘lammany.Comptroller Cox. NoLLy, of infamous moemory, Gneex bhas ro. colved tho support of the Ropublicans of the city gouornlly in tho adwinistration of his offico, becauso oftho intogrity with which lie has conducted {8, It was also his good fortuno to incur tho hostility of Tammany- Boss Kerny, which furthor commended GreeX to tho Republicans of the city, Ho remained n Dowoorat, scting with tho anti- Tammany wing of the party ; and, when that eminent antl-Fammany roformer, Jnnsy O'Brrex, renewed his quarrel with Boss KLy ns to tho distribution of the plunder, ho (0'Buiex) insugurated the movement to run Gueex ay tho anti-Tammany and Inde. pendent Germnn candidate for Mayor, counting, of courso, upon recelving the e publican vote, with which his election would Lavo been certaln, That support Lo would Lave ssenred but for tho hesitancy of o fow leading Republicans who questioned the consequences of a coalition with Jruary O'Bniex’s anti-Pammony crowd on tho eve of tho Presidential clection, A canvass of the situation disclosed that the anti-Tam- many movement was chiefly in the intorost of ‘TiLbey, tho scheme being to draw out tho full anti-Tammauny vots, which wouldn't como outto vote Boss Kewny's ticket, but which if brought out for Guexy would have voted also for TruoeN. With all tho votes Tammany could roll up for its ticket, and with all that anti-Tammany would fotch out in a spirited coutest, and with both working for ‘Trpzy, the vote of the latter in tho city would have been thousands greater than with no anti-Tummany Independent ticket in the fleld. By supporting Gneey tho Repub. licans might almost to n cortainty elect Lim, but to do that they would imperil tho elec- tion of Iavesna voll nsof Aoroav, And to bnzard the issuo of tho Presidential ean- vass a8 woll as that of the Governor wns al- togethor too much to risk for tho snke of clecting Mr, Gneex Mayor, even conced- ing all that has boon claimed for him. Tho Ropublienn leadors of the city so viewed it, and nominated a straight Republican city tickot, hended by ex-Gov. Joux A. Dix for Moyor. 'Thorcon O'Briey made manifest tho insincerity of his anti-Tammnny roform movemont by going over to the Tammany enmp. Left in the larch, the Independent Gormans, not caring to throw their votes away, requosted Gnern to withdraw, which tho Intter hns done. 'This narrowa thio canvass for tho Mayorally to Dix or Evy, the Tinorx-Tammany coudi- date, and probably insures the election of tho latter by a larga majority. Iut it also romoves from active participation in tho canvass the army of anti-Tammany under- lings, who now lhavo nothing to mnke in politics this sonson, and will not wear thom. selvos out working for tho ticket, which sig- nifies simply a diminution of tha Democratio poll genorally by some thousands of votes; and it will leavo the Democralic canvass in the city to be contvolled by Boss Kervry, whosa programme is to elect tho oity tickot, and to sncrifice Troe to that. — ‘WHICH 18 THE REFORMER 1 b Tho invarinbla answer of nine out of ton men who support the Democratia ticket, when nsked why they are going to vote for TiupeN, will bo that they want reform, Are they likely to obtain reform, however, by voling for TiLpen? To answer this question it is only necessary to oxamino the records of tho two candidates, and goo if Gov. Havesis not a moro cnrnost and honost reformer than TruoeN, nnd in every way moro qualified for the position of President. Do these people who are desirous of re- form want reform in the civil sorvico? In what one of all TiLpex’s lottors, manifestoos, bulleting, or proclnmations, in what private uttorance or publio speech, lins he ever de- fined himself a4 thoroughly and oxplicitly as Gov. Haves? In his lotter of accoptanco tho Intter says of tho *“spoils systom " : Tlis sysiem destroys the independence of the scparato departments of the Government, It tenda directly to extravaganco and oficlal inca- pacity. Itisatomptation to dlshonesty; it hin- dera and Impairs thut caretul sopervision and strict acconntability by which alone falthful and eMcient public servico ean be secured; it obatrncts the prompt romoval and sure punishment of tho une wortly; In every way it degrades tho civil sorvico ond the character of tho Government. . , . It ought to be nbollshed. The reform should bo thorough, radical, and complete. We shomd re- turn to the principles and practices of the foundera of the Government,~supplying by leglslation, when needed, that which was formerly the estab. Mshed cnstoms, They neitler expected nor desired from tho public ofiicars nny partisan service. They meant that public oflicers should give their whole sercice lo ths Government and (o the peopls. They meant that the 8fcar should bo sceuro i his ten- ure as long as hie personal character remained un. tornished and the performance of his dutfes satls. factory. If elected, I shall conduct the adminia- tration of the Governmentupon these principles. Can auy one ask for a clenrer or more om- phatio statoment? And is not this system of Civil-Servico Roform, which Mr, Haves has constantly practiced in his Gubernatorinl sorviee, preferablo to the infamously-corrupt Tammany Hall spoils-system which Mr, Trz- DN will introduce, since ha himself hes do- clared from his own experienco, in his lotter of ncceptance, * the futility of self-imposed rostrictions upon candidates,” or, in other words, bluntly admitting tho diffieulty of removing himself from the influence of party pressure? Which of theso two men is tho moro likely to introduco reforms and put them in operation ? Compara tho records of thesa two mon. In this long aud bittor oampaign not a chargo hos been made ngainst Gov. Haves which has not boon promptly disproved. The Re- publicaus have nover at any timo had to mako a sorious defenso of their candidnte. ‘Tho charges made against TiLoex, even at tho commencement of the campaign, still remnin unonswerod. If personal char. acter and private and public roputa. tion afford auy guaranteo of reform, what ground of complaint or oven of un- certainty oxists as ogninst Gov. Hayes? Ho Las had no low associations like Truoey, He hns not been engnged in frauds upon the ballot-box like Truvex, o has not been associnted with Boss Tweep aud men of that stamp in stealing tho vote of a State and distranchising the majority by means of the fraudulent tricks known to Tammany Hall like Tieoes, Ifo has not lLeen a railrond- wrockor and o professional dealer in shin. plaster currency liko Tiupey, Mis name lins nover appeared in any connoction with the Credit Mobilior like Trioen's, He has not beon exposed as tho inventor of methods for swindling the publio like Tioen, Ho hns not been tho defrauder of workingmen and tradesmen, the counsolor of corrupt politi- cians, the cunning and mousing porverter of law for tho benefit of rings, like Trupew, Ho hns not boon held up by a gambler and prizo-fighter for the edification of the multi- tudo as TooeN washeld up by Mounmsey the othor day in Now York., On the other hand, Gov, Haxves is a peoulinrly dignified, earnest, sincero man, with strong convic- tions of tho right, and equally strong doterminntion to follow those conviotions, His privato charactor has nover had o spot upon it. His publie carcor is open to the ©nza of all men, aud has nover yot Loen crit- iclsed for an unworthy not evon by his most bittor partisan opponents. Spoaking of his lettor of ncceptance, Mr. IIsrsTeap, of tho Uincinuati Commerciul, who has known him for twenty-fivo years, snys: ** Ilis sonso of Justice and soutimont of genorosity—a Lrave man's rospoct for thu Lrave, u strong man's sympothy with misfortune—shino through tho clear sentonces ; and, taking him all in all, I fecl warranted in hopefuluess that it he Lecomes our Chief Magistrato wo nuy find in hiim the gift of statesmanship for the Lenl. ing of tho nation.” If private ond public reputation afford any indication of a man's roform sontimonts, can thero Le any hesitn. tion a3 botwoou HMaves, with his cleur, pure rocord, and Tiupew, with his record full of Ausplcions of dishonesty ns woll us of cloarly proven corruptions?

He may not throw dust in the eyosof tho peoplo with long-winded and cunningly-worded lotters and documents.

Is the man who openly pro. claims the impossibility of resisting the pressuro of party, surrounded by disloyalty on one side and corruption on the other, both of which hohnsndvocated and practiced, na likely to bo a reformer aa tho man who has fought agninst tho one like a brave sol. dior, and denounced tho other with all the indignation of true Lonesty?

In an article fillod with rock- less falschoods, probably inspired by Lz Moyng, tho Z'mes asserts ¢ It was the uunfllng complaint fn that city that the American Consul was so much absorbed {n ajd- ing the Boclalistic Demoeracy 8¢ the German Eme pire that ho bad no time to attand to his legitimate dutics In the Consulate (). e was, furthormore, known to rovilo American institutions and Ameri- can character among his convivial associates, and took mno pains to let his adopted countrymen sce this opinfon when thoy visited the city (7). e furthermore made tho Consulate of tho United States a broker's office by taking into partnership a mainber of the banking firm of Tope & Co., when Amerleans were at the mercy of the money-chang- era allled to the Consul's office (). Fortunately theso falsechoods can bo mot withqut sonding to Dresden for information. Relative to tho charge concorning tha bank. ing firm, tho facts are: A gentleman namod Oaxepern was tho first Consul ot Dres- don, He sorved in that position from 18568 to 18G9, and during his term ho appointed o resident of Dresden named WinLiaxt Kxoor s Vico-Consul, Kxoor is & partner in the houso of Tuope & Co, Mr. Oaxrsery was succoeded as Consul by Mr, Iniam, of Ne- braska, who sorved from 1869 to 1872, ond who resppointed AMr. Kwnoor Vico-Consul; nnd, 08 Mr, Inse had returned home, Kxoor was acting na Consul when Mr. Baexravo wont to Dresden, Mr. Bnextano followed his prodecessors and retained Kxoor ns Vice. Consul, but ho was only such in name, ns Brextano romained at his post constantly until ,he resigned, and Kwnoor had nothiny whatever to do with tho office; ko was simply rotained ag Vice-Consul to serve during any temporary nbsonce of the Con- sul. But Oampnert and Insi, BoenTano's prodocessors, had thoir offico in the banking- house of Trooe & Co., while Mr. Brexraxo, recognizing the impropriety or possible mis- construction of that course, immedintely ro- moved tho Consulate to another office. Ho consequently had not oven the remotest re- Intions with the firm. MMr, BoenTaNo's suc- cessor (one Magow, who was an officer in tho Confederate army, and a relative of the more famous Robel Misox) has also appointed Kxoor Vice-Consul,—a mnomina]l position, which he has thus held noarly twenty yoars, That Brextavo had any partnership with any member of the banking firm of Tgone & Co. is utterly false, no matter whother tho lio originated with Juessen, Le Moyxe, tho editor of the Z%mes, or any ono else, As totho other allogations in tho above extraot, they aro equally mendacious and malicious. Mr, BRExTANO wos in no souse absorbed in “ Soclalistic Democrncy,” since ho bas not and nover had any sympathy with it. Ho was twico clected President of tho American Olub in Dresden,—thero is n large Amorican colony thero every winter,—which gives some idoa of his stonding nmong the Amerloans. Ho was the first Amerioan Con- sult to introduce an appropriate colebration of the Fourth of July, tho first to observe Wasuinaton's birthday ot the Consulato, ond tho flrst to give distinction to American Lolldays. He was always attentive . to Amoricans who had business to transact, and, having been prosented at Court (n privilege his prodecessor did not enjoy), ho was nblo to present many other Americans, But the Zémes itself hus alroady given tostimony to Mr. BrexTano's capability and attention to duty while Consnl at Dros- den. In alotter writton by one of jta own correspondents on tho subject of Amorican representutives abrond o special excoption was mado of Mr, Brextaxo from n gonoral condemuation of our foroign Ministors and Cousuls, “By somo curious chanco,” this lottor (printed in July, 1875,) went on to uny, *Drosdon has a capablo Con. sul, n OChicagoan, DBmenrTano, o for. mer Germian, who has been, however, for tho lnst thirty years an ‘American, Mr. BuzsTavo is thoroughly competent in his offico,—indced, more than compotent, Ilo not ouly undorstands the languago of the land; ho koows its lawa ond customs, and is, whenever called upon by his adopted countyymen, of incalculablo aid and com. fort," Tlen the correspondunt proceeded to give o skotoh of Mr, Baextano's carcer, and concluded s Cousul, I don't know. I only desiro to bene testimony to tho faot that he is an admirably ofticient sgent.” This is what the Zimes printed a ycar ago; but now, for mere par. tlsan purposes, in the interest of Lz Moy, it docs not hesitate to malign Mr, Baxntano aud misroprosent his Conaular sorvices, Buch abuso defeats its own purpose. Private advices from Milwaukee as to the proffer of bets ou the Wisconuin election by partion in this city aro suggestive, Theso woero made by certain Democrats here, and, though the offers were withdrawn before anybody could accept them, the cironm- stance led to an examination of the Milwau- koo registry lists. It disclosed what looked very liko arrangoments for the importation of roughs aud repeaters from this city to en- goge in the work of oarrying Wisconsin for TuwoxN, There is & vast deal of Democratio material for such work lying around loose in *What influonce made him. Chicago, and the Democratio managorn could donbtlesa sparo soma of it for exportation to Milwankeo, ‘The thing to be dono about it ia for tho Republicans of Milwanlce to sco to it that overy mensuro bo taken for the de. tection of frands in the registry, nnd to pro. vent ropeating and fraudulent voting on Tuesdny, That is what should be done in any event, DBut, under tho circumstancos, thers is ronson for redonbled vigilanco. — Jonx Wextworrit mado n speech Thursday ovoning to n large gathering of peopla at the corner of Cottage Grove avenno and Thirty- fifth streot, Among other things he told the young men that if they renlly wanted nn- other civil war, with all its Lorrors, miery, bloodshed, and cost, the way to got it was to vote for TmoeN and the Demoeratio ticket ond olect them, ‘U'bis is serions talk, nnd Mr. Wextwonrnt would not express such an opinion if Lo did not believo it. Wo notice that the venerable Trurtow Ween, ono of the longest-hended and most far.seoingmen inthe United Btates, bas publisked a letter netual. Iy arriving at the snme conclusion ns Jonw Wexrwortit, Mr. Weep boses his opinion that wo shall have troublo in the event of Tiunen's oloction on the rejoction of the payment of the Bouthern Confederate claims, Ho assumes that 'PiLpEN may pos. sibly be i enrnest in saying that he will op- poso tho payment of any Bouthorn War claims for * losges imourred” if clected President. Mr. Wrep then goes on to show that tho ** Solid South " will not bo put off by o wave of the hand, They will not throw awny Lwo Yilionsof claims held by noarly ono million of Confoderate families who suffered loss during tho Rebellion in order to please Baxt Treoen, Tox Henprioes, or any other man, The Confederates, Mr, Weep pre- dicts, will present their claims to Congress for paymont, and thoy will say vory seriously to Titpen and the Domocratic party: “ I wo stay in tho Union you must pay those claims, It is pay to stay; refuso and wo go; tako yonr choice. By tho prinoiples of the Demoeratic party ns sovercign Btates, wo have the right to secede, and you have no constitutional anthority to coorcs wus.” This nrgument is con- clusive on Tmpen, as that is the very principlo Lo has held all his life. Mr. Weep mokes tho following quotations from T~ DEN's record, and commentsthercon, In his lottor to Judge Kenr, Mr, TiLpEN said : Tha tramers of the Constitutton left reralution or- gamzed when {t should be demanded Ly the public gpinlonofa State; lefe (twith tho power to map the tie af cunfederation “as a nation mIght break n treaty, sud 1o rapel cocrelon as 8 nation might repel Invasion, Bimilar views wore expressed by Mr. Tildonabout the samo time In n long letter to the E'rening Post. He held those opinlons throughout the War, and scted upon themin refusinz to ald thoGovern- ment in ony form In its defense and maintenance of the Unlon. At a Democratlc gathering In Tweddlo ol in Albany, In 1801, Mr. Tliden's peech 18 thus roparted in the Albany Argus: Mr, TILDEN argued strongly against cocrelon,showing thesirengtl nod resources’of the Southerd States, Me declared that he, for one, wonld reaist, under any and wii clroumstances, the use of forea to ‘coerco tho Houth foto tho Unfon, first, becausa Ibwoull bo i elfective, and neat, becass b would lead to 8 war of extennination. With a President holding such oplulons, to which he has doliberately and publicly committed him- solf, what would bo the course of Confederats States whoao clalms had been refocted? With the door loft open, wonld they not step out of the Unfon? Thoy could do so unopposcd, tho Preal. dent having declared that they wercat liberty to ‘*suap the tio of confederation™ whenover thoy chose to do so, and thero was no powor in the Government to coerco them back. A purpose, therefore, which cost a four years' war will bo nc- complished without reslstance, delay, or expense. The Confederate Government will be re-establish- edandthe freedmenof the South remanded into slavery? Such aro to be the frults of Mr. TiLDEN'S elaction. Can any Intelligent man doubt, or will any reflecting man deny, that these consequences must be the legitimato and logical results of such causcs? This is the outcome of Truoex's olection —payment of tho Rebel claims or socession of the Bolid Bouth. And by Trvey's prin- ciples nothing can bo* dono constitutionally to provent the Southern States from with- drawing and setting up a Government of their own, as they undertook to do once bo- fore. With Troen for Presidont, what ig there to hindor them from seceding if tho claims aro not paid by the North? * ‘A LDEN Is & master of phirascs, having learned the ort when practiciog as a technleal lawyer.

His recent letter threatening to veto Southern Democratle claing {8 a caso fn polut. Mr, BLAINE Iu his Chicago speech was the first to detect the sharp trick in plirascology that TILDEN practiced in his Rebel- War-clalm letter, and polot out the great dif- ference between the phrases debts or oblizn- tlons “{ncurrcd” or *suffered.” The Four- teenth Amendinent prohibits the payment of any debt or obligation ‘‘incurred inaid of in- surrection or rebelllony ogainst the United States.” Mad it gonn?ncp further, and for- bldden tho payment of any war losaes * suffercd by disloyal persons,” tho threatencd mischief would have been prevented. Unfortuuately it did not, and Mr, TILDEN was sharp to note the fact and take advantage ot i, All through his letter ho carcfully preserves the distinction be- tweon the words “Incurred ¥ and *suffered.” The latter word he does not use, but speaks everywhero of ‘losses fncurrcd.” Ilc never promniscs to veto claims for *‘losscs anifered.” The difference between “incurred ™ and “suf- fered” is the difference between “agent? and Syfethn " between losaes brought on by onc- sclf nnd losscs inflleted by another, Thero s nothiug in TiLDEN'S letter {n confliet with Rippre's bill to pay Confederate clafms for' *Jogses suffered,” - But thero are many people who persist in shtitting thelr eyes to tiic conse- quences untd it is too late, ——— Bupposo the Demacrats let up for awhile in howling against tRo employment of the United States law to sccure o falr olection and prevent frauds,—long enough, at least, to sco that thoy aro litting thelr own frieuds.
