The .New York Herald reminde Tilden' tbat when be carried New York "tbe Republicans were divided and tbe Democrats were united. Now tbe Republicans are united and tte Democrats are divided." Gin. Hayes has been elected Gov crnor of his native State three times, Thurman, Fendletan and Allan being bis unfortunate competitors. Tilden 's ecalp will be added to this list before the ides of November. The Governor of tbe State of Maine, has appointed Hon. James G. Dlaice as United States Senator in place of Hon. Lot M. Merrill, who has been appointed Secretary of tbe Treasory by President Grant. Gov. Hayes is daily receiving a large number of congratulations opon his letter of acceptance from distin guished Republicans in all parts of tbe country and of all shades of opin ion. For years past no political ut terance has done so much to harmon ize and invigorate the Republican party. Hox. Geo. W. Hoik.. 1. 1. to tbe St. Lovis Convention, m..le a speech in Dayton, Ohio, Tut-i-dyj evening, ne denounced tbe Con veution, platform, and candidates, and the treachery of tbe gold bags of New York, and stated bis determin ation to oppose, with voice and rote, the election of tbe candidates who represented the treachery of tbe money 6b arks to tbe Democratic party. Speakixo of Gov. Hayes' accept ance, tbe Richmond (Va.) ITAiosayr "We bave do hesitation in pronounc ing it a good letter, that is, tbe tone and spirit of it is good, and we bave eo doubt that if left to his oau hon est impulses be would make a fair, just, and impartial chief magistrate. We have some personal acquaintance with Gor. Hayes, and frankness com pels us to say our objection is not to him, but to his party." The letter of Gor. Hares, accept ing the Republican nomination, is tbe frank, manly, unequivocal declaration of an honest and sincere man. It carries with it the conviction that he possesses tbe integrity of purpose that bas nothing to conceal, nothing to evade, and is fearless of criticism. It is not the letter of a trimmer, or of an aspirant for office seeking by plati tudes to cultivate popular feeliog, but it is the outspoken expression of tbei views and purposes of a man wbo thinks for himself, and baviog noth ing to conceal "talks right out" This is tbe pithy w.t the Davton (0.).;..lltc,W: 'Come dT the committee of hih Sam Tilden wa a member, pronounced . r- n lbe war a isnure, ueu. .,:- . -..1.

Ilia vote was 300,000, against 3fi,000, which gives him some 4,000 majority. It is well to state the figures accurately, as they take down tie lofty pretention of Gov. Tilden's popularity, and show tbat be has fallen far short of his claims to public confidence. He will find that a revolution baa taken place since it was ton tbat be wore only tbe mak of reform, and that New York is good for 50,000 against him, of which Kings county will fur nish 10,000. In another column we publish an account of tbe late murderous occor ance at Hamburg, South Carolina, taken from the Augusta, (Ga.) Qhroix-h-lc, a rebel Democratic sheet, pub lished just across the river from the scene of the tragedy. The Demo crats of South Carolina and Georgia are evidently preparing for the elec tion, and to make good their pledge of a solid Southern vote for Tilden and Hendricks. A careful reading of the article will show that the pre text for the massacre was tbat, two young men claimed that tbey were prevented driving through a street because it was obstructed by the pa rading on tbe 4th of July of a negro volunteer company. Tbe evident of fense to tbe chivalry was, nut tbe pa rade, but the carrying cf arms, by the negroes, for "Gen." Uutler did not attempt to have punisLed the al leged infraction of the lam-, but to deprive tbe company of its arms, claiming "tbat there was no necessi ty for arms in tbat place." Failing to procure tbe arms l.e prepared the way lor the butchery by notifying tbe yoang men of Augusta "that he might need their services," to which tbey at once promptly responded by arming and crossing the river into South Carolina. On the appearance of these armed banditti, the colored company, numbering about thirty, took refuge in a house. The whites then opened fire upon them, shooting at all who attempted to leave the house. Tbe first roan wbo did succeed in surrendering himself, was afterwards "shot in tbe back," and after tbe sur render jtfiYH 0 the I'riitoncrt ttrrr tale a to the ethjeof a vurn field, turn ed loae, and iJut an they ran. A more wanton slaughter of inoffensive men was never perpetrated, the pre text for the murder being as shame less as it is thin. Tbe negroes had a right to their arms, they had a right to parade in tbe streets, and their murder was as cowardly as it was brutal We suppose we shall be doing that most unpardonable act, in Dem cratic eyes-" waiving the bloody shirt," when we ask if the govern ment should not protect these citi zens by sending sufficient troops into that eommunity to prerent tbe recur rence of such scenes, and also if ruf nans like Butler and his gang of mur derous banditti would have more or less licence in tbe South if Tilden and Hendricks are elected next Novem ber. Ir tbe Democratic party could in duce the people to take its professions for verity, if its past history proved either its truth, its sin rity, or its consistency, then its preseat clamor ous declarations in favor of "reform" might avail it in the struggle it is making for control of tbe Govern ment; but it would require the great est imaginable credulity, in the face of its record, to repose confidence in I iu protestations. Without a single Cxed principle, it has for tbe last fif teen years, shown itself to be a mere confederation of obstructionists, con- trolled only by desire to obtain pow er, and willing lo sacrifice anything and everything to attain its purpose. In the last Presidential campaign in adopting Horace Greelev for its can didate it surrendered everything to expediency, but so thoroughly did the people distrust it, than even witb so unexceptionable a candidate, it was largely beaten. Now, with a shameless inconsistency tbat proves iu iot-iocerity and lack of trutb, it bas abandoned its professions of four years since, fallen back on its old or ganization, unblusbiogly nominates a hard money candidate for President, and a soft money one for Vice Presi dent, places tbem side by side on a juggling platform tbat can be inter preted to mean one thing or tbe other, to suit any or every locality, pro claims itself to be tbe party of "re form" and hopes to be believed Tbis is simply tbe infatuation of a madness that imagines the people to uiino, unreasoning aoita. inati the pa:ty of obstruction, tbe party that has bitberte otmosed everv movement of progress or reform, un- f - ,orerao H 01 , caught br. nd were entirely destroy .t .

There is a deeper, more profound distrust of the Democratic : party to-day than there was in 1812. Tbey bave a majority in tbe present House at Washington', and their: d eeds of commission and omission in I thatl ody have thoroughly alarmed the country. Unreconstructed rebels like Ben Hill, and apostles of the State's Rights disunion school, of tbe Tucker stripe, have, as in the old slavery days, controlled tbe party. When tbey came into power in 1874, they were over confident, and ail the fire-eat ing ex-rebels, rx-Kukluxof the Suuth flocked '.o Washington atd clamored for cflice. The old officers, crippled Union soldiers, and all, were turned out of place to make way for them. The more disloyal, the more disrepu table were these fellows, the more certain were tbey of position. Ea Iogies of Jeff Davis were pronounc ed on the floor of Congress, the atroc ities of Andersonville were defended, and amnesty was rejected because the arch traitor was not included. Every member of the administration was attacked and . traduced, with coarseness and brutality. Confeder ate soldiers brazenly 6tood up in tbeir places and demandeJ the reduction of tbe army aodnavy. Appropria tions were refused for the purpose of crippling the Government, and de spite their hypocritical professions, tbe long pent op bitterness against tbe North was constantly finding vent Now it is hoped to distract attention from these things by a lusty bowl for "reform" But tbe people bave been startled from their dream of a perfect reconciliation by these glimpses of the bell that is boiling beneath tbe loud professions of a change of heart, and we opine tbat the reform tbey will first demand, is that the Presidency be placed secure ly beyond the graip of the Confeder ate Democracy.

A private letter just received from New York, from a gentleman of fair ness and intelligence, says: I bad a good opinion of Tilden until I came among those tbat knew him, but I find tbey all agree tbat bis show of relormis a humbug. ' Tbe recent Al abama conference is corroborative of all tbis testimony. Tbe controlling politicians, as well as tbe masses of the people in the Democratic party in New York, who can draw a dividing line between an honest man and a Bengal tiger or a hypocrite, are alike well aware tbat Tilden cannot carry bis own state, should be, by the wrath of God, be nomioated for tbe Presidency. If there are potent reasons why tbe Democracy of Til den's own state are opposed to bis nomination, there - are more, and greater reasons, why tbe Democracy of the West and South should be in telligent and honorable enough to re sist his bribes and detoat bis nomina tion. - We do not apprehend blsnom nation, but we are not insensible of tbe power of money and manage meou. There are a few facta con cerning Sam Tilden which, we trust, will sink into tbe minds of Western and Southern Democrats. - 1. He cannot carry his own slate in November..: : ! 2. He cannot carry any Northern state, 3. He is a hypocrite, a political swindler, bas long been a plunderer and is really tbe ouly disreputable candidate prominently named on lhe Democratic side. 4. He did what be could to defeat the Democratic party of Ohio in 1875, expending bis money and subsidizing the Eastern Democratic press to tbat end, Knowing tbat Otiios victory was his defeat, and loving Tilden more than the Democratic party, be bas earned tbe enmity ol tbe West and South. 5.

The anxious search of tbe Demo cratic House of Representatives at Washington for official malfeasance and dishonesty, bas led to a remar kable report from tbe Treasury De partment, exhibiting tbe aicouot of defalcation and the ratio of losses per $1,000 to tbe aggregate received and disbursed in periods of four years each, from January, 1834, to June, 30,1875.

"To lhe victora belong tbe spoils." Tb old rule, the trne rule, that houestr, capacity and fidelity constitute tbe only real qualifications for office, and that tbere is no oilier claim, gave Lhat there is no oilier claim, gave place f the idea that party services sere to be cbmfly cousidired. All j.arti.M. in practice, have adopted il.is w nam svstcin. It has been s-cuiiitil v mm! ilied since its firit infrofbi'liou It ha-? not, however, been improved. A I first the Pre.-iJent, either direrily .r Jtbroi.gh tlit! heads of depart meiiti. made ail tbe appointments. Imt gradually the appointing power, iu many cases, passed into tbe control of members of Congress. Tbe offi ces in these cases have becoiue not merely rewards for party services, but rewards fvr services to party lead-! ers. J His syrwm ueairovs iue iuue pendence of tbe separate Depart ments of ibe Government. lite ids directly to extravagance aod official cupidity. It is a temptation to dis honesty. It hinders and impairs tbat careful supervision aod strict ac countability by which alone faithful and efficient public service can be se cured. It obstructs tbe prompt remov al and sure puniehiuert of the un worthy. In every way it degrades tbe civil service ani the character of tbe Govcniueot. It is felt, I am confident, by a large majority ot tbe members of Congress, 10 be an intol erable burden, and nn unwarrantable hindrance to the proper discharge of their legitimate duties. It ought to be abolished. Tbe reform should be thorough, radical and complete. We should return to the principles and practice of the founders of tbe Gov ernment, supplying by legislation tbat which was fonutrly an e.-tabhsbed custom. Tbey neither expected nir desired from the public officer any partisan service. Tbey meant that public of ficers should owe tbeir wboic service to tbe Government and t ibe people. Tbey meant that the officer should be secure in Lis tenure as long as bis personal character remained untar nished and the performance of his duties satisfactory. If elected, I shall conduct the administration of the Government upon these princi ples, and all constitutional powers vested !n the Executive will be em ployed to establish tbis reform. The declaration of principles by tbe Cin cinnati Conveution makes no an nouncement in fnvorof a single Presi dential term. I do not assume to add to that declaration. But believing that the restoration of the civil ser vice to tbe system established by Washington aod followed by tbe ear lier Presidents, can be best accom plished by an Kxtcutive who is un der no temptation to use tbe patron age of bis office to promote bis ow n re-election. I desire to perform what I regard as a duty iu stating now my inflexible purpose, if elected, not to be a candidate for election to a sec ond term. Oa the currency question I bave frequently expressed my views in public, and 1 stand by my record on tbe subject. I regard all ibe laws of tbe United Stales relating to the pay ment of the indebtedness, tbe legal tender notes included, as constituting a pledge and moral obligation of the Government a Lich must in good faith be kept It is my conviction ibat the feeling - of uucertainty inseparable from an irredeemable paper currency, witb its fluctuation of values, is one of tbe irreat obstacles to a revival of confiden ce and business, and to a re tarn of prosperity. That uncertain ty can be ended in but one way tbe resumption of specie payments. But tbe longer tbe instability con nected with our present money sys tem is permitted to continue the greater will bo tbe injury inflicted upon our economical interests, and all classes of society. - If elected, 1 shall approve every" appropriate measure to ' accomplish tbe desired end, and shall oppose any step back ward. - " The resolution with inspect to the public school system .3 one which fhould receive tbe hearty support of tbe American people. Agitation on this subject to be apprehended until, by constitutional amendment, tbe schools are placed beyond all danger of sectarian control or interference. The Republican party ia pledged to secure such aa amendment. ' The resolution of the Convention on the subject of lhe permanent paci fication of the country, and the com plete protection of all its citizens in the free enjojmenls of all tbeir con stitutional rights, , is timely and of great importance. , The condition of tbe Southern States attracts the atten tion aod commands the sympathy of tbe people cf tbe hole Union in their progressive recovery from the effects of the war. Their first neces sity is an intelligent and honest ad ministration of State GoverLmenU, which will protect all classes of citi zens in their political and private rights. What ibe South most needs is peace, and peace depends upon tbe supremacy of the law. Therecan be no enduring peace if the constitution al rights of any portion of tbe people are habitually disregarded. A divis ion of political parties resting merely opon distinction of race, or upon sec tional lines is always unfortunate, and may be disastrous. The welfare of the South, alike with tbat of every other part o( the country, depends upon the attractions it can offer to la bor, to imigra:ion and capital. But laborers will sot go, and capital will not be ventured where the constitu tion aod ibe laws are set at defiance and destruction, apprehensions and alarm take tbe place of peace loving and law abidicg social life. All parts of the constitution are sacred, and must be sacredly . ot served. Tbe parts that are new . no less than the parts tbat art old. 1 Tne moral and material prosperity of the Southern States can be nicst'i effectually ad vanced by a learty and generous rec ognition of tie rights of, all, by all a recognition without reserve or excep- tion. With such a recognition fully accorded it will be practicable to pro mote, by ibe influence of all legiti mate agencies of the general govern mehi, lb eff-jru of lhe people ol iliese State, to obtain for themselves the blessings of honest and capable ha-ai gorcruuicnt.

Tbe f:ict is, tbey see that tbe Ameri can people are not ready, as yet, to place tbe government io the hands of a parly so soaked in corruption, so utterly undeserving of conGdeoce as ibe Democracy, as it is now consti tuted. Some show will be made to carry congressional tickets aod local offices, aod some powder will be burnt. in consequence, over tbe 1 residential nominees ; but no one bas an idea that Tilden has any reasonable chance of success. Betting nieu are offering odds that Hayes will carry New York, and they Cud no takers. Tbe decent portion of tbe Democracy have gjt tired of spending money for tbe purpose of placing speculators in the best offices, and hordes of unnat urnlizsd Irish in the minor places. The business men of the city know tbat Tilden's nomination was the re sult of a bargain and sale between bis supporters and tbe inflationists of the West, and altogether, there is a demorilization in tbe Democratic camp ibat is very eocouragiog to those wbo want good government. Aud i-peaktngof political matters, I wish every Republican in tbe L'nited States coul 1 see the "Sunday i)fmo cral" a paper which Tilden's money supports, and wbicb is tbe organ of tbe Irish end of tbe party. To make sure of the support of the Irish Democrats, it has a portrait of Ker nao the nominator of Tilden. right over a prominent portrait of Tilden, with tbis inscription, "A Catholic statesman, Senator Kernan, tbe nom inator of Gov. Tilden." This is a bid for the support of the Catholics an assurance to them tbat Tiiden is fairly in tbeir bands, and tbat, in the event of his election, tbey will, in national matters, have tbe same con sideration tbat tbey have always bad from him in tbe other positions he has filled. Without tbe Irish-Catholic vote in ibis city, the Democracy is nothing; to get it tbe Catholic church must be conciliated ia the most sub stantial manner. The gorgeous ca ;hedrals, churches, monasteries, and convents, all on ground which Demo cratic politicians filched from tbe city for tbem, aod which are more tban half supported by grants from the public treasury, attest the price tbe Democracy bas paid for tbeir votes. Tbe Republicans of lhe city .are not only confident, but em-rely jubi lant. The nomination of Hayes aod Wheeler they accept as the best that could have been made, and more tban tbat, as all tbat was desirable. Clubs are being organized in all tbe wards, and tbe best men in tbe city are taking bold of the work. While it is impossible to carry the city, tbe Democratic majority will be so reduc ed as to make tbe state absolutely certain, for tbe Republican ticket The Liberals are, as a rule, la line again, and thousands of Democrats will vote lhe Republican ticket for the fim time in tbeir lives. Tbo north part of the state where Mr. Wbeeler resides will give the largest majority for the ticket ever known, and will of itself, more tban balance all the frauds that can be perpetrated in tbe city. Tbe outlook is excellent here ; see that you do yo ir duty everywhere else.. .... I bate to write tbat word, for there is no such thine in New York. Tbe -vbolesale merchants are doing little, the retailers are duiog less, except tbe little spurt they had in Fourth of Ju Ir goods, and tbo-other trades are dead as smelts. ''It will be better af ter the Fourth;'! was tbe hopeful tbou ht, but it was worse than be fore. : And even ibe lawyers are feel ing it. - Aod nave all adjourned, ana the poor lawyers bave all gone inwfeih Ug ffulug ik.se .f inch a day, the country where they can live cbeap-j er and. get a breath oi iresn air and wait till cooler weaiber eoablea tbem to some back and pluck tbeir clients with more comfort to them selves.

Sunday and .Monday passed off very quietly, lhe boys holding their crackers and fireworks in reserve, but many of tbe shops gave their employees holiday from Saturday afternoon. About five in tbe afternoon of Monday business was virtually at an end. A! nine in tbe evening Broadway was full of people, iu ibe streets aud out of it as thick as ibey ivuM stand.

It was a soft and splendid eveDiog, a perfect moon rode bigb, as if to mark the splendor below, a fresh breeze blew up from the bay, and through lhat gulf of people miles on miles uptown went ibe torchlight procession, first tbe city troops, in fuil uniform, in column by corupaoy a gallaut sight- Tbe finest of ah n Jt the aristocratic Seventh Regiment or tbe petted Twenty-second, but the old Seventy-ninth Highlanders, dis bandoned wbo bad begged permission to come out with the other troop.

Tbe German troops were fine, solid looking soldierf , and, in tbeir spiked helmets and close blouses, looaed as it tbey still o ned allegiance to King William. . Tbe Cuban societies made a fine impression for so small a body of men, tbeir dress and bearing un mistakably tbat of gentlemen, and it was pathetic to see tbeir beautiful colors another red, a bite and blue carried in honor of a couutry which celebrated tbe independence tbey were struggling to achieve. The dark, proud, handsome faces tbat marched in the shadow of its folds were lit up with tbe spirit of the hour, as Ibey flashed back the gayest repartee to tbe cheers aud jests of tte crowd. MII'XKIIIT there was such a noise by tbe crowd that tbe cbiininr of the bells lost its. effect, aod the singing of tbe eight hundred members of the derman choral societies was unheard.
