Ne letter written for years by men of high iniblle station will attract mero attention or be perused with tnore tlieuKitfulncflu llmti the text of Tildcn'a absolute declination of tlie presidency, which is printed in full elsewhere. .Though long expected, It comes with somewhat of a shock te tlie great body of Democrats In tlie country who had hoped te live te bce tlie day when tlie wrong of 1870 might be righted In the person of him who had suffered most by it. The document is n itatesman.llke production, clevated high nbove the average political literature of tlie times, and it shows clearly hew well adapted tlie sage of Greystene was te carry out the reform policy that he Inaugurated in New Yerk in tlie presidential olllce te which he was elected eight years age. Oue leeks in vain through the letter for an arraignment of the party that cheated him out of his rightful posses sion. A man of smaller calibre would have taken this opportunity for the venting of his spleen en the cause of a great wrong done him. Net se, Mr.Tiltlen. II is let. ter is devoted te a consideration of tl e necessities of the government after "twenty years of continuous malad malad ministrateon." Though seeing its clearly as in 1870 the grave evils surrounding the govcrntneument under Republican rule, he feels that the oue who would lead in the fore front of battle against this corruption, and establish reform en the ramparts of the government, must unlte te a strong will-power vigorous physical strength. This the sage of Greystene regretfully admits he does net possess. The closing sentences of this letter, in which the once elected president refuses his proffered vindication at the hands of the Democracy, are historically iutpres slve: " Having given te their wolfare whatever of health and strength I pos sessed, or could borrow from the future, and having reached the term of my ca pacity for such lalwrs as their welfare new deruauds, I but submit te the will of Ged in deeming my public career for ever closed." As he has written, se let it be. A l'oer Exense Ter lllnlue. It will net de for our Republican friends te condone the smirched receid of Hlalne by calling en him who is net guilty te cast the first stone. The uu fortunate woman in the scriptural story who was taken In sin the most lla grant was an unpretending personage in the lower walks of life, and net a candi date for the highest ellice in the gift of ilfty millions of people. There may lie some Republicans who have become se blinded by partisanship that they will close their eyes te the misdeeds of their party candidate, and believe without examination, that the charges against his honesty are uufeunded. Rut the mighty revolt in the party headed by Geerge William Curtis, Themas Went worth iligginsen, Charles Francis Adams, and n score of ether Republi cans, equany prominent, snows mat. a I Hi rnne elemniit nf Mm tmrl v hnt'ii r.....li..,l I the sensible conclusion that pure priiici -plea cannot be put into effect by impure imp. It is true that Maine's record in pub. lie life is net se bad as that of Garfield" But the dead Garfield was a weak man, who was mere a tool than the prime mover in the bad acta with which his iiaine is associated. Blaine, en the contrary, ,iessesses an inherent unscru unscru puleusiiess, and with his audacity and Yankee smartness, it is hard te predict te what lengths he would go were he placed iu the commanding position of chief magistrate of the republic. His success iu November would mean the endorsement of all the jobbery with which he has been connected, and it would de mere te vitiate the political generation that is grewlnir up than any thing conceivable. If the safety of the people is the supreme law, it Is the duty of every citizen Irrespective of party te work te secure tlie political burial of the Jingo statesman. Ochiltree' Magnnuliully. That red-headed and hopeful son of the Lene Star state, Themas Porterhouse Ochlltree, retired within his box and pulled the deer iu after him, for sumo little time after the Ltskur incident; but he has new blossomed out anew with an aureele of magnanimity around his auburn-topped head that would put the recent western sunsets te the blush. The acene of his latest triumph was again the fleer of the Heuse, and this time the subject under discussion was the shere of Texas iu the river and harbor appropriation bill. There was an Item In the bill ap preprinting SiWO.OOO for the harbor at Galveston. The champion fabricator of tlie country threw a metaphorical bomb shell Inte the legislative camp by asking that the Item be struck out. The Texas Btatesuiau explained te his mystified brethren that though this amount has been annually appropriated and used for twolve years under the direction of army englueers, there was at present less water In the harbor than when the se called improvement was commenced. The motive of Ochiltree's magnanimity was Been in his concluding remark that while Texas would net ask anything in the river and harbor bill, it would at the next session of Congress ass: that the question of the Improvement of the Gal yesten harbor be considered in a special bill, nnd that Capt. is,ids, the civil engineer, was perfecting a system of improvements which the Texas delega tion would ask be adopted by Congress. Ochiltree may be right, but he will find It hurder te convince, Congress of the necessity of a lump appropriation of $7,000,000 te Galveston harbor, than te rush through the Luskcr resolutions. Tin: harrowing tragedy that cenns from. W&t Virginia, wherein a boy crazrd by religious oxcltement killed his mother and sister, should be a lessen te be taken te heart by theso clergymcn who in their work of conversion appeal te the emotional rather than te the rational olde of human nature. It Ja said that in ene of tlie prominent denom inations of New Yerk, belief in the 41 faith euro " Is making rapid progress. One need net be surprised te hear of crimes like that of Freeman, the Massa chusetts man who slew his daughter, believing that the act was Impelled by Ged, and the deed that has just darkened the criminal nnnals of West Virginia, In view of this conduct en the part of intcuierate ministers of the gospel. An linp;issIened call te the unregeuerate, unleavened by sober common sense, may have the effect of overturning weak intellects with the unhappy results al luded te above. IfStove Klklus is given charge of the Ulaine eauvaa, It will be ovldeuon of the rocegultlou of the eternal litucs.i of things. WILD HUSKS.

I wish te lay down the honors and toils of een tpiasi-party lead ership and te neck the rupore of private life. Iu renouncing retiomliiatieu for the presldoney I de se with no doubt iu my mind as te the vote of the state of New Yerk or of tlie United States, but because I believe that it is a renunciation of re election te the presidency. "Te theso who think my renemin.ithiu and reelection indispensable te an ellcetiul vindication of the right of tlie people te elect their rulers viol .ed iu my person I have accorded in long a reserve of my decision as possible, but I cannot overcome my repugnance te enter into a new engage ment which involves four years of oeasek'ss toil. "The dignity of the piesidctiti.il ellics is ..be v e.i merely porseiial ambition, but it creates iu me no illusion. Its value is a gieat power for geed te the country. 1 said four jears age in accepting nomin ation : "Knew tug as I de, tborelere, trem fresh experience, hew great tlie dillerence is between gliding through nu oflieial routine and working out a leferm of system and policies, it is imiosible fur me te oetitmnpl te what needs te be dene iu the Icderal administration without an anxious sense of the dttuculties of the undertaking. If Mimmeucd by the suf frages of my couutrynien te attempt this work, 1 shall undoaver, with Ued's help, te be the lilicient iustrumeiit of their will.' "Such a work of renovation after many years of misrule, such a reform of sstem aud policies te which 1 would cheerfully have saerillced all that lemaiued te me el health aud life, Is new, I fear, beyend my strength. " My purpose te withdraw from fuither public service, aud the gieuiuls of It, were at that time well known te you a ml te ethers ; aud when, at Cincinnati, though respecting my wishes yourself, you cemmuuidted te me an appeal from many valued friends te relinquish that purpose, I reiterated my determination unconditionally. " Iu the four years which have since elapsed nothing has occurred te weaken, but everything te strengthen, the consid erations whieh induced my withdrawal from public lile. Te all who have al dressed me en tlie subject my Intention has been frankly communicated. Several of my most coutldent .1 friends, under the sanction el their own names, have pub licly stated my determination te be irreversible. That I have occasion new te consider the question is an event ler which I have no responsibility. The appeal made te me by the Democratic masses with apparent unanimity te serve them ence mero U entitled te the most deferen. tial consideration, and would iimnim : disposition te de anything desired of me if it were consistent wituiny juilgmeut of duty.

"Fer fifty years asaprivatocitizeu.novor contemplating an elllcial career, I have deveted at least as much thought aud ell'ert te the duty of intlueuciug aright the action of the goverumeutal institutions of my country as te all ether objecu. I have nover accepted elllcial service except for a brief period for a special purpee,aiul euly when the occasion seemed te require from me that sacnllce of private prefer prefer eners te the public wolfare. "1 undertook the state administration of New Yerk because it was supposed iu that way only could the executive power be arrayed en the slde of the reform tit which, as a private citizen. I had given the host years of my life. I accepted the nomination for the presldoney iu 1370 becaiiM) of the general conviction that my ciudidaey would bcit present the issue of reform which the Domecratio majority of the people desired te have worked out in thu Federal government as it had been iu that of the st ite of New Yerk. I b moved that I had strength enough then te renovate the ailin'mstratlen of the gev orumeut or the Uuitcd States and at the clese of my term te baud evor the great trust te a successor faithful te the same policy. " Though nnxieus te soek the ropeso of private life, I nevertheless acted upeu the idea that every pewer is a trust and in velvcsaduty. In leply te the address of the committeo communicating my nomi nation I deplctcd the dillleulties of the undertaking and likeucd my foelings iu engaging iu it te theso of a soldier ou eu ou tering battlej but I did net withheld tlie entire consecration of my powers te the publie 6orvice.

" The canvass nnd the administration which it Is desired that I should uudortake would embrace a peried of nearly five years. Ner can I admit any illusion as te their burdens. Threo years of exporienco In the ondeavor te referm the muuielpal uoverumont of the elty of New Yerk and two years of oxperienca in reunvatiuir the administration of the state of New Yerk have made me familiar with the require ments of such a work.
