WHAT NEXT? All Alleged Correspondence That Would Impeach the President. What Governor Tilden Knows About Presiden- tial Interference in Elections, “WE HAVE NO SUCH PAPERS.” A SINGULAR STORY. {From the Evening Post.] ALpANY, Mareh 17, 1876, The following report has gained considerable cur- rency here:— “Governor Tilden and Lieutenant Governor Dors- heimer, of New York, are reported, on good au- thority, to have recently repeatedly declared that they hold tn their hands an original letter of George S. Boutwell to Henry Clews which affords ground for the impeachment of President Uly 5. Grant, and that they describe this letter as written to Clews by Boutwell, as Secretary of the Treasury, in Septeniber, 1872, directing Clews to send $60,000 to the Republican State Commit. tee of Pennsylvania, for the purpose of se- curing thé success of the republican ticket in that State at the election which was to occur in October, and promising, on the authority of the President, to reimburse him by early secret in- formation of sales of gold to be made by the Treasury Department, by means of which tnforma- tion he could gamble securely and successfully in the gold and stock markets in Wall street.” ‘The Governor when questioned as to the correct- ness of the report was silent for some moments. Then he said that the report was not well founded. When asked if he could give an idea as to where the report originated, he said I had better wait and see him again. The Governor said thatthe Lieutenant Governor knew @ little less about the matter than he did. On questioning the Lieutenant Governor he told me that he had no letter like the one referred to in his possession, but said, “there isa statement that there is such a letter.” WHAT TILDEN AND DORSHEIMER KNOW, (From the Evening Telegram.] We have responsible authority for asserting that Governor Samuel J, Tilden and Lieutenant Governor William Dorsheimer have, during the last ten days, both in this city and in Albany, averred repeatedly that they hold in their hands an original letter of George S. Boutwell to Henry Clews which affords ground for the impeachment of President Ulysses S. Grant, and that they describe this letter as written to Clews by Boutwell, as Secretary of the Treasury, in September, 1872, directing Clews to send $60,000 to the Republican State Committee of Pennsylvania, for the purpose of securing the success of the repub- lican ticket in that State at the election which was to oceur in October, and promising, on the authority of the President, to reimburse him by early secret information of sales of gold to be made by the Treas- ury Department, by means of which information he ‘ could gamble securely and successfully in the gold and stock markets in Wall street. If Tilden aud Dorsnetmer do hold such a letter they are reprehensible for withholding it from the public to suit their democratic partisan purposes of @ melodramatic occasion for its exposure. It they do not hold such a letter their averment deserves denial and rebuke. The corruption of the oficial service of the gov- ernment of the United States has passed a point be- yond which fidelity to the country demands the subordination of all party ties. The main question is no longer the insignificant choice between keep- ing the republican party in power or putting the democratic party into power. It 1s whether official corruption has not risen to such a pitch that govern- ment of the people, by the people, for the people, is in danger of perishing from the earth unless all ? .

WHAT GOVERNOR TILDEN SAYS, ALbaNy, March 17, 1876, I called on Governor Tilden this morning and showed him the article that appeared in the Tele- gram of the Lith inst. “Governor Tilden,” said your correspondent, «1 have called to learn from you whether there 1s any truth in that article?’ The Governor read it over carefully, and after doing 80 handed it back to me and said, “We have no such papers." “There is a rumor,” said I, “that there is such a letter in existence, and that you and the Lieutenant Governor are in possession of it, Is that a fact?” He looked at me in a comical sort of way, and again replied, “‘We have no such papers.” THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S DECLARATION. I met Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer at the Delavan on Wednesday, and on stating to him the substance of the Telegram article he said, “There is not a word of truth in it.” HOTEL ARRIVALS.
