TILDEN'S CANDIDATE.
In 1S0S John T. Hoffman, then
Mayor of New York city, und of
conm a member of the ring, as lie
was a great friend of Tweed und Til
den, was fraudulently elected Govern
or of the Empire State. On this oc
casion twenty thousand Spurious votes
were smuggled in, giviDg the State to
Democrats. Mr. Tiidcti wa chairman
of the Denocratio State Committee,
' and the famous circular in regard to
his election was signed by him. He
denied all agency in issuing it when
the fraud was discovered, but he did
oot attempt to prosecute those who,
' according to his disclaimer, had frged
his Dame. He might have safely done
so, for the courts were in the ring, and
the trial would have been a farce, as
Mr. Tilden must have been aware;
and it is surprising that a man of his
cunning did not, feeling secure, play
the whole thing out. The circular re
ferred to is as fbUows i
Rooms or tiie Dem. State Com.
October 27, 1868.
My Dear Sir: Tlease at once
communicate with sotne reliable person
in three or four principal towns and
in each city of your county, and re
quest him (expenses duly arranged for
at this end) to telegraph to "Win. M.
Tweed, Tammany Hall, at the minute
of closing the polls, not waiting for the
count, such person's estimate of the
vote. Let the telegram be as follows :
"This town will show a Democratic
gain (or loss) over last year of (num
ber.) Or this one if sufficiently cer
tain: "This town will give a Repub
lican (or Democratic) majority of
There is, of course, an important
object to be obtained by a simultane
ous transmission at the hour of closing
the polls, but not longer waiting. Op-
Eortunity can be taken at the usual
alf-hour lull in telegrapaic communi
cations over lines before aetual results
begin to be deolared; and before the
Associated Press absorb the telegraph
with returns and'interfere with indi
vidual messages, and give orders to
carefully watch the count .
Very truly, yours,
Samuel J. Tildes,
Chairman.
The "important object" was thus
obtained. The State returns were
carefully revised and estimated, and
it was found that Hoffman was defeat
ed by 41,204 majority. Then the city
returns were "doctored" by the addi
tion of 37,000 ballots which had never
been in the hands of voters, other than
Tweed.Tilden, &Co. had never been
legally deposited but which gave a
majority ia the ci ty of New York of
59,150 for Hoffman 1
If the country is to enjoy peace in
the future Demoaracy must be defeat
ed. If we are to maintain the value
of our crrrency Democracy must be
defeated. If the nation is to live and
grow, the enemy of its peace and pros
perity must be' defeated. The hum
blest citizen has a vital interest at
stake in keeping the Government out
of the hands of those who have no
sympathy for its principles of freedom
and equality. Let all who value
good government work unceasingly
for the success of the Republican
ticket. Our national salvation de
pends upon it.
Tilden's supporters deny that he
ever remarked to ex-Governor Under
wood, of Vermont, during the war,
that "any United States soldier on
Southern - soil could be sued for
trespass." Governor Underwood reit
erates his assertion, and states that the
conversatjon rook place between them
on the piazza of Congress Hall, at
Saratoga. He also sayes that Tilden
expressed surprise that he (the Gov
ernor") did not hold the same opinion
with himself.
Since it was settled that New York
is Tilden's lost hope, aid an uncertain
one at that, the canals have beeu
found to be in a shocking condition.
Itia discovered, moreover, that the
necessary force of men to make the re
paires cannot be had in the State.
They have to ba imported by thou
sands from adjoining States. Their
engagment will last until the first
Tuesday in November. This is the
last act in Sara Tilden's great drama
of canal reform.
The official returns of the Ohio
election give Barnes, Republican can
didate for Secretary of State, 6,956
tnajority ; Boynton, for Supreme
Judge, 9,617 majority; Evans,- for
tneniber of Board of Public Works, 7,
893 majority. The Republican ma
jority ou the Congressional vote is
12,331. The State is good for 20,
OOOfor Hayes.
During a parade of a Democratic
club the other night, one of the color
ed men which are now a prominent
feature in every Democratic procession
etepped into a sample room to borrow
a match, and when he came out the
tip of his nose and all of his chin was
.stark, staring, strangely wh'ta.
Tbe fact is fully substantiated that
tbe Syndicate having in charge the
placing oi the new 4J per cent, loan
have said that the election of Tilden
will seriously effect the suscess of the
ew loan, indeed stop it altogether.
Can we have better evidence of the
extreme danger to the country of his
Presidential aspirations?

Agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All tho farmers were of the "well to do"
sort, and some of them, who have turned
their attention to fruits and market gard
ening, have grown rih. The soil is loam,
varying from sandy to clavoy. and surface
gently undulating, intersected with tunttll
btr wutis and occasional wet meadows in
which deposta of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertilise the whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted of its
natural fertility.
It is certainly one of tho most extensive
fertile tracts, in an almost level position,
and suitable condition for pleasant farm
ing, that we know of this side of the West
ern prairies. We found some of the old
est farms apparently just as profitably
productive as whon first cleared of forest
fiftv or a hundred years ago.
The geologist would noon discover the
cause oi this continued fertilUy. Ttie
whole eountry is a marine deponit and all
through the woil we found evidences of
calcareous substances, generally in ih
iorta f Indurated calcareous marl, show,
lug many distinct forum of ancient shells,
of the tertiary formation ; and this marly
substance is scattered all through the soil,
in a very comminuted form, and in th
exact condition most easily asslmmilated
by such plants as the funnor desires to
cultivate, fc'a
