THE CHICAGO 3 TRIBUNE: MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1878. THE CIPHER TELEGRANS. | Analysis Showing the Depravity of Their Authors.

In a word, the schema failed, not because the negotlator at the New York end of the liuc hesitated to bribe, but because he doubted the abllity of the nego- tlator at the Columbiu end of tha lino to de- liver tho votes barpained for. ‘The purpose of this correspondence {8 so plaln that the wayfariog man, though a fool, caunut foil to comprehent it.

The purpose of the authors of the now celcbrated clpher correspondence wus to rob the people of Florida and South Carolina of their sullraged,~to take them away from Hayea nud give them to Tilden. Evers linc of the loug series of dlspatches passing betwean New Yurk and Florida and South Carolina shows that the senders were at ono in tho wish to steal the Presldency by meaus of brivery., ‘Who 18 responsitlo for the futent t0 commit a felony, to overturn the Constitulion, and to cheat ihe peoplo of the whole conntry out of thelr most cherished rights? As the chilef ele- ment of crime is the fntent, and as the intent fn this case 8 proven conclusively, it (s of the first importance that the would-be criminal or criminals be brought to light, with a view to the {nfliction of ndeguate moral punishment. 1In 1863, {lorace Grecley charred upon 8amuel J. Tilden the reaponaibility of & stnilar crime, —the robbery of the Btate of New York ot its lectoral vole, The chargo was general, and lden never denled it he malutained u studied silence on the subject. Here, however, the charge s specific. ‘Tilden is charged direetly with belng the author of the scheme to buy the Elcctorai votes of Florlda and South Carallua, Hels charged with telng the instizator, and hence coustructively tha pathor, of every one of the ciplicr dispatehies we tave reproductd, And tho circumstauces sccul so Atrongly to sustain the charge that he has deemed 1t incumbent ubon himsell to nterpose adenial. The denfal Is broad, comprehensive, and unequivocal, With that ndroitness for which Mr, Tilden Is distinwruished, he las nt- tempted, and Enrually suceceded fn lifting Ins plen of Dot guilty outof the fotid ntinvsplicre which envelops criminal proceedings. In order to rescuo hilingolt from the husniliation of being compell:d to snawer Lo o charge of the grossest criminal Intent, he refors Lo ks Gabernatorial carcer as a reformer, and dilates loftily upun the plans he had concelved wforming tho Govermnent of the United Stal But, In the naked fact of this compulsion to enter o plea to the vile charge, thero is INPINITE DEGRADATION, Is Mr. Tilden to be helleved! Wodo not see how. Marbie, and Woolley, and Weed are warm personal {1fends of Mr, Tilden, The t New Vork thoroughly prepared todo o work of which it was necessary that the public shouid bo kept In profound iznorance. The vlaborate cinbers with which thay were provided wera not the wurk of the husts and excitement Inseparably connected with their departure. Noless than tive distinct ciphers were used in the dispatches we have reproduced n this paper, ‘Theso viphers were, boyond a peradventure, prepared with the “utniost care, with 8 view to the contingency that nrtunlla' srose, or for some other purpose fn which absolute sccrecy was an essentiol condition.

If this be true, it equally fulluws that tho ciplier telegrams from Florlda and Bouth Carolina were all submitted to Titden, and all the replies of Denmark dictated by Tiiden. This }ue of argument MORALLY CONVICTY TILDEN of Intest to commit the greatest pulitical erling of thoage. It also couvicts him of conspiring tocommita felony, punishable with Incarceru- tlon {n tho Ponitenttary. Hut Tilden solemuly usseverates his nnocence.
