TILDEN'S RAILROAD TROUBLE.
THE MATTFR BEFORE THE COURTS AN
OTHER WORDY DOCUMENT.
The question of Samuel J. Tilden's dis
reputable connection with the St. Louis,
Alton and Tcrrc Haute Railroad has been
brought before the United States District
Court of this city, as has been already re
ported. 31 r. Tilden was employed to re
organize this road in 1SG2, and was paid
20,000 for his services as "counsel." By
a device of permitting bondholders to have
the same vote on their secured debt that
the 5tockholders had on their unsecured
debt, Tilden and four others obtained com
plete control of the road under the guise
of a '-Purchasing Comnittee,,, whose
nominal duty was to buy in the road at a
judicial sale. Dy reason of a failure to ob
serve certain formalities, $234,000 worth of
bonds were left without an owner. Tilden
and the Purchasing Committee, it is claim
ed, divided these bonds between themselves.
The "Belleville branch" had been built
on the credit of the road, and properly be
longed to it ; but by sharp practice the con
trol was secured by the New York direc
tors, and the branch was leased to the pre
sent road at a high figure.
In 1875 the stockholders vainly attempted
to get from Mr. Tilden an explanation of
his conduct, but despite their efforts Tilden
and his associates secured their re-election
by voting on the stolen bonds. It was in
vain that a list of the voting bondholders
wa.s demanded, and, therefore, to test the
right of the stockholders, the case has been
brought into court.
Shortly before three o'clock this after
noon Samuel J. Tilden filed his answer to
the above charges. The answer comprises
11M) legal folios, filling 121 octavo pages of
printed matter, and deals verbosely in glit
tering generalities and a legal denial of all
the charges made against him. When the
document was filed in the office of the
United States District Court an outsider
remarked that he was not supprised to find
that it took Tilden five weeks to write his
letter of acceptance when he was engaged
in preparing so bulky an answer as to the
charges of fraud that had been made against
him. JT. 1'. Com. Adv. of August 7.
The letters of Tilden and Hendricks,
published on Saturday, so fully reveal the
tricky politicians in the guise of '-reform
ers," that what they say is of very little
consequence. Tilden's letter, particularly,
is not the outspoken, heartfelt utterances
of a statesman and honest man, but the
carefully prepared utterances of a scheming
and crafty pretender, seeking to catch the
breeze of popular favor by a careful and
prolonged study of the direction of the cur
rent of public sentiment, and he has been
so long in its preparation and elaboration
that his policy is revealed, aud himself dis
trusted. While he has been at work upon
LLs letter, the people of the country have
been studying him, looking upon his re
cords, and examining his surroundings, and
having discovered how the spider has becu
weaving his pretty web, and the purpose
fur which it has been prepared, they have
Jim intention of walking iiito it. Three
fourths of the letter is devoted to a disser
tation on the money question. He de
nounces the Resumption act of 1875 as a
sham and a snare, but he evidently did not
think so when he declared, after siiruins
the legislative act of 1875 to make nothing
but gold receivable for taxes and other
State dues after January 1, 187i), that there
'must be no step backwards." Whatever
may be thought of the Resumption act it
self, there is not the slightest doubt that
Tilden is guilty of the most flagrant in
sincerity, llendriek's letter has two merits
which Tilden's has not. It is shorter and
speaks with greater bluntness. Both let
ters, however, are intended to deceive North
and West, and both are consistent only in
catering for the united support of the
Southern W hue League eiemeut.
