Gen. McClernund, who voted for Tilden, was rounily denounced for his conduct by Gus Herrington, MeClurnand retorted by culling bim an — liner, and there was tnuch confusion tn consequence, during which tho brethron threat- ened to annihilate cuchothor. The meeting was charncterlatically disorderly throughout, ‘Tne census enumerators of St. Lowls have not found enough Inhabitants in that city to satisfy ita people, and 2 number of prominent eltizens have called a moeting to denounce the enumerators and to call for a recount, It ap- pears that; according to estimates already made, Chicago hag about 50,000 inhabitants more thin the olty at tho athor ond of the bridge, which certainly accounts for the Indfynntion about to be manifested. Relying impllelty on her Direct- ory man, St. Louts fandly tmagined that dhe was fn bigger city thun Chicago.

Tr ia thought probable In Washington that Senntor Cameron, at the spectal request of Gen.

One of the amend: ments defined a certain residence for yoters, and thus shut out tho practice of fmporting yoters from other States, which has been notoriously followed by the Indiana Demo- erats and has enabled them to earry the State when they have lost itin an hottest vote. ‘The decision of the Supreme Court restores the old-time, loose metho of voting, under which a non-resident may vote at as many poilgasheean visit during the day. ‘The other partisan purpose of the deelsion was to retnin the October election, and. thus ane nounce to ‘the Democratic Convention shortly to assemble In Clucinnati that the nomination of Hendricks would give the Democrats 9 set-off . against the expected’ Republican victory in @hio_ pre- ceding the Presidential election, In order to accomplish this second purpose the Demo- eratic Supreme Judges were compelled to resort {o n haste which has completely be- trayed them, ‘The arguments in the ease were not concluded till Thursday afternoon 5 the decision was rendered at noon the next day, and at such length that tt would have bees Impossitie In the interval tacopy, much Jess compose, the opinion that was filed. ‘This Indicates that the deelsion was all eut- and-drivd, and probably written out for the nivst part before the arguments on the merits of the case had been heard, The Injustice to the people of Indiana which is involved in the negation of tho popular will docs not stop at the partisan outrage that has been comiitted. ‘There are important questions of publle policy and econumy which were settled by sume of the amendments that haye been set aside for partisan reasons, One of the mmendiments provided a timitation upon the Indebtedness of counties, eltles, and towns, Another reduced and reguinted tho fees and salaries of county officials, A third provided new facilities for dispatel tn Ntlga- tion which are much needad In the State, A fourth saved the people $100,000 by postpon- ing the October election to the day on which the Presidentin! clectlon occurs in November, All these changes were in the direction of re- torm, and the people will resent the partisan, trick which has deprived them of the im- provements they had adopted. . If the decis- fon of the Court shall stand, tt will be four years before the amendments enn again be ndopted, beenuse the Constitution provides: that they shail pass two successive Legisla- tures before they cnn be legally submitted to tho people, Extravagance In administration of county and munlelpal affairs and dlshon- esty in elections will continue to prevall du Ing ull this thie, while the people, who have ulrendy voted against these abuses, will be powerless to protect themselves, ‘Yhere is reason to belleve that thonsands of Demoerats who would otherwise have voted the regular party ticket will vote this fall with the Republicans in protesting aguinst this defiance of the popular will by tho Supreme Court for the base purpose of panderlng to party success at the expense of the publle welfare. TILDEN'S LETTER. ‘Tilden’s letter to the New York delegation atthe Clnelunuti Conyention Is trented asa lottor of withdrawal, Jt 1s scarcely that, No one can read it carefully without comlug to the conclusion that tho author Intended rather fo urge his right to the nomination than to Insist upon retiting from tho field, ‘The letter fs a column in length, and yet Mr. Tilden refers In only one Une, and that toward the close, to the possibility of his re- tirement, ‘Lhe referency, oven tn this single and obscure Instance, fs equivocal. While “renouncing renonination and retlegtion,” he fusists that such nomination and election are “Sudispensable to an effectual vindication of the right of the people to elect the rulers which has been violated in my {his} person,” ‘The clearest meaning that can be extracted Srom this opluton, wileh Is expressed In one and the same sentence as tho pretended “yenunelation,” is that Mr. ‘Tilden merely: desires to throw upon the Conventlon tho responsibility for his rejection, and warns them thut it will bo fatal. This ylow of the casa is further confirmed by tho fact that he refers tho Convention, lmmedi- ately after, to his letter fn 1878, In which he sald: “If summoned by the suffrages of ny countrymen to attempt this work, I shall endeavor, with Gou’s help, to be the eficiant instrument of thelr will,” All this certainly looks very little ike voluntary and deter inined retirement, ‘The remnlnder of the ‘Tilden letter Is an Ingenlous argument for tho maintenance of the “fraud” tesyo, which, ‘Tilden repeats over and over again, he atono represents, He defends bingelf Indirectly aguinst tho charge based on the elpher dispatches when ha “refused to ransom from the Returning Boards of the Southern States tho docu- nientary evidence,” which he claims would prove the “villainy? of counting out tho Tilden Electors, Me diselatins over and over again all responsibility for the Electoral Commission, which he de nounces ag @ part of the consplracy to rob him. of his right, snd thus seeks to relleve himself of the charge that ho assented to this scheme, whieh wus of Dem- ocratic origin and was adopted by Demo- cratio yotes, He inelsts that “the subversion of the election created a new issue for the declulon of the people of the United States, transcending In importance all questions of administration.” He contends that he ig the representative and the embodiment of this Jasue, and that he has kept it before the people up to the last minute. Le tells tho Cineinnat! Convention, as plainly as aman of Tilden’s character can tell anything, that, if ha be notsiominated, the vital Issue of the campnian will be snertticed, the purty may expect the indifference if not tho open oppo- sition of his friends, and that defent will probably result from the Convention's treach- ery and stupleity. The most intelligent Interpretation of TH dents letter Is that it was written under the apprehenston that he could not obtain tho nominations that, in such an event, this let- ter would poss as a voluntary withdrawal, and that it was not calculated, in any ease, to injure his chances, but ruther to serve ns a final appeal for his nomination, | In this vlew of the ense his letter by no means re~ Neves, but rather Increases, tho embarrass- ments of the Convention, If ‘TMiden's man- agers on thespot conclude that their favorit's ense $s hopeless they will probably accept the lotter as a formal withdrawal; 1f other- wise, they will use It ns a new reason and able plea for the recognition of his claims, In elther case, however, the Democrats aro confronted with the discouraging alterna- tive of accepting ‘Tilden or éxpecting his op- position If they reject him. Either horn of this dilema threatens the Democratie party with defeat. ‘Tiere ts weeping and watllng aud gnash- ing of teeth in St, Louls over tho discoveries the census enumerntors have muito of the emptl- ness of tha bonstful burg. ‘Tho press Is pouring out vigls of wrath on the heads of tho consis tokers for thelr alleged skips and omissions, Hut the Globe confesses that inany. of the “aiips” turn out on Investigntion to be imag- innry.
