TILDEN'S SCHEMES.
How He Defrauded His Workingmen.
The New York Times prints a letter
from Michigan, which describes with many
details the hearties way in which Samuel
J. Tilden swindled the miners in his mine
in that state. The men were paid in scrip
that could only be redeemed at the store of
Tilden & Wetmorc, and, as most of the
men were usually in want of ready money
to send to relatives iu Europe, they were
obliged to pay discount of twenty-live or
thirty cents on the dollar. This too, when
the firm had sufficient money in bank to
redeem every cent. The attempt was made
to deceive the workmen into believing that
agents redeemed the scrip, but it is now well
known that the firm bought it in. The
lact is, the New York mine did then, and
does to-day, pay its men less wages than
any other mine iu the regino, and there is
not a laborer in the New York mine who
docs not hold himself ready to step into the
mine of any other company when there is
an increase of force. It is notorious on the
Peninsula that Tilden's men are worked
harder for the little wages they get than
the men iu any of the adjoining mines. In
the Jacksen mine and the Superior mine,
iu the same region, men are paid fair
wages, which are not reduced because they
are working through a poor cut and fail to
take out the usual amount of good ore. In
31 r. Tilden's mine the men. are paid a
certain amount per ton for good ore taken
out, aud as there is a surplus of miners the
contracts arc necessarily low. Consequently
a poor cut is a calamity. It may safely be
said that while the workmen in the adjoin
ing mines realize very nearly three dollars
a da, the workmen of the New York mine
get but little more than half that as an
average. If there was but little profit in the
mines the case would look better for the New
York millionaire. But I was told by the
agent of the largest mines that they realized
at this comparatively dull time at least
SI 73. per ton. The New York mine, run
with half-paid and had-worked men, will
realize more than this. This year it will
take out eight' thousand tons of ore, and
31 r. Tilden's share of the profit will be, at
the lowest calculation, 100,000. Other
mines issued scrip, but they had no money
and did not pay as the New York mine did,
and it was a clear case of shutting down or
throwing the men out of work. But the
backers of the New York were million
aires, and the mine was and is to-day a
paying institution.
A Useful Tree.
Mr. Morgan, an English consul resident
in Brazil, cites, iu a recent report to his
government, the caruonba tree, a species of
palm, as one of the most valuable vegetable
productions of the country. It flourishes
without culture at Babia, Rio Grande de
Norte, and other well known localities, re
sists drought, and appears green and lus
urient. Its roots possess properties similar
to those of the sarsa par ilia. The trauk
furnishes a superior fiber. When the tree
is young it yields wine, vinegar, a sacchar
ine matter, and a species of gum closely re
sembling sage. Its wood is excellently
suited for the manufacture of musical in
struments, as well as for tubes and conduits
for water. The pulp of the fruit is very
palatable, and the oily nut roasted and
pulverized is a good substitute for coffee.
The trunk also yields a flour similiar to
maizena. With the straw, hats, brooms,
and baskets ar? made, and over half a mil
lion dollars worth of it are exported to
England yearly. Lastly, a was, used in the
manufacture of candles, is extracted from
the leave.
Responsibility of Relatives.
Here is a fact not generally known : An
act of the Legislature of Pennsylvania
passed June 13, 1S3G, says : "The father
and grandfather, and the mother ami grand
mother, aud the children and gradchildren,
of every poor person unable to work, shall,
at their own charge being of sufficient abil
ity, relieve and maintain such poor person
at such rate as the Quarter Sessions of the
county where such poor persons reside
shall order and direct. This, it will be
seen, makes children and grand children
responsible for the support of their parents
and grand-parents, if the latter arc unable
to maintain themselves ; while it also makes
parents and grandparents liable to the sup
port of their children and grand children,
in case tlie latter are destitute and unable
to work for a living.
The subscribers to the stock of the great
Centennial Exhibition, it is now said, will
receive a dividend on their shares of at
least 50, and perhaps, 75 per cent. This
is largely more than was expected, as prob
ably not one subscriber in a hundred ever
supposed it would pay back a cent ; indeed;
in many instances the scrip ha been framed
and hung up as an heir-loom lor future
generation of the family now possessing it.
The real estate of the late Stephen Gould
was sold at Alleutown on the 4th inst.
The Hickory Run property was purchased
by 3Ir. Albert Lewis, of White Haven, the
lumber prince of that section of country,
for 2G,150. Messrs. Bryan, Christ, Mel
lick and A. S. Gould were the buyers of
the Bucna Vista property, at 825,000. The
Allciatown property was k Docked off to
Messrs. Harvey and Holben, of Allentown,
for 818,500 the three properties thus
bringing in the aggregate the i;um of S69,-7KV
Which Party Administered the Govern
ment Wisely ?
This reform Democracy profess to desire
to restore the national credit to good old
Democratic times. Let us look into this.
When Buchanan administered the gov
ernment he failed to secure income enough
to pay the ordinary expenses of the government.-
And iu order to do this he peddled
out G per ceut bonds in Europe which ho
sold for 88 cents on the dollar, or at VI
per cent, discount. The same kind of
bonds which Democracy under Buchanan
sold at 83 cents on the dollar are now sold
at 81.25 when they run for 20 years, and
at 81.15 wheu they run for a snorter
period.
Thus the difference between Democratic
and Republiau credit is not less than 25
per cent.
. .
The triumph of our arms at the great
International Rifle match, is a source of
gratification to every American, while wer
can readily understand how our friends of
various foreign origin wish that father
land" had produced the best shooters. It
is no use, however, America is the marked
of destiny, the favorite of fate. Time's
noblest offspring is the last, "you know."
We, not speaking editorially but nationally
propose to outstrip all creation from this
out. We are jmrt getting iu trim. By
jumping higher, diving deeper and staying
under water longer, coming up dryer,
swimming further, shooting better, running
faster, sailing swifter and crowing louder,
we propose to outbrag and outstrip the
"wide, wide world." See if we don't.

Slavery.
Slave trade.
Nullification.

The rebel war claims.
The right of secession.
Resistance to the draft.

The Democratic Rebellion:

Encouragement of desertion.
Treason to the government.

A wag was requested by an old lady to
read the newspaper for Iter. He took it
up and read as follows :
"Last night, yesterday morning, about
one o'clock iu the afternoon, before break
fast, a hungry boy, about forty years old,
bought a big custard for a levy, and threw
it through a brick wall nine foet thick, and:
jumping over it, broke his right ankle' off
above his left knee, and fell into a dry mill
pond and was drowned. About forty years
after that, on the same day, an old cat had
nine turkey gobblers ; a high wind blew
Yankee Doodle on a frying-pan, aud killed
a sow and two dead pigs at Boston, where
a deaf and dumb man was talking to his
Aunt Peter."
Whereupon the old lady, taking a long
breath, exclaimed : "Du tell !"
3Iu Tilden's attempt to extricate him
self from the charge of perjury, and of de
frauding the Government oat of his income
tax, is a sad failure. He ha3 bat added
falsehood to perfury, and convinced no one
of his innocence, but many honest Demo
crats are now quite convinced to the con
trary. And yet his party are satisfied with
him. He is a representative Democrat of
to-day. The party who tried their best to
destroy the Government, whostaretd Union
prisoners at Andersonville, are not very
much ashamed of his crimes. The fact is
they know their man. He was so long con-Dct-ted
with Tweed and New York politics
that to be honest would have disqualified
him as a candidate for the Democratic party-
At Beaver, Utah, Judge Boreman has
passed sentence on John D. Lee, an ex
bishop of the 3Iormon church, convicted
of participation in the 3Iountain 3Icadow
massacre. The prisoner having the right,
under the laws of the Territory, to chose
hanging, shooting or beheading as the mode
of his death, chose shotting. He was there
fore sentenced to be shot on the 26th of
January next. The Judge said that others,
equally guilty, might hereafter expect pun
ishment. The 3Iountain 31 endow massacre
took jlace uincteen years ago, when a party
of emigrants were murdered on the plaius,
at the irrstigatiou of the Mormons.

The Chislett murderers at 3Iay's Land
