The Cipher Dispatches.—T he
Every Evening and Commercial) hating
the Democratic party, which its editors,
and its owners, save one, during their en
tire lives have opposed, (one of them hav
ing declared he would rather vote for a
negro than a Democrat, ) gave credit to the
Tribune'* falsi*, absurd and slanderous
cipher dispatches, and endeavor to fasten
their authorship on Mu. Tilden, the
Democratic President-elect of the United
States; notwithstanding Mn. Tilden
denied lie had anything to do with them,
and that the New York llerald , Philadel
phia Timen , Record, and very many other
independent papers accepted Mr. Tilden's
denial. The Baltimore (iazette of to-day
again referred to those lying dispatches
as follows :
"It is conceded that cipher telegrams
were sent by Mr. Tiiden's friends be
tween South Carolina and New York.
Weed and Wooley each admits that
some were sent but say that they were
such as w ere harmless and referred to
legitimate business. Among the hun
dreds of dispatches published only a few
an* infamous. We charge that the unob
jectionable ones are genuine and the
others are dki.hikratk forgeries. It
would he easy after having ohtuitied these
cipher telegrams and worked out tin.* key
to have altered the genuine and forged
any number required to make the story
good. The key being once discov ered to
read the genuine dispatches, it w ould be
perfectly simple to forge others. We
charge that this has been done.
Where were those alleged cipher tele
grams kept these two years, and who is
the guarantor that they were not tam
pered with ? How did the alleged Gram
*rcy-Park telegrams come into the pos
session of New York Tribune., and what
assurance has the public that that they
have not been altered and
forged ? It is not necessary to charge
that the New York Tribune has been
party to any forgery,but how is the public
to know that it has not been played
upon by a systematic forgery w hich it
accepted too readily as genuine docu
ments 2 The indictment of the Grainer
ey-Park group has now been filed by
tin* 'Tribune, and Mr. Tilden, Mr. Marble
and Mr. Havenicyer have euch severally

The most ab]e,trutbful and convincing
speeches that we have seen during this
campaign, arc* those by Senator Thur
man, of Ohio. We heretofore published
e of liis able and logical arguments
cuu
from the stump. It wi
cise and argumentative, that it became
so clear, s
the k* y note tor tin* campaign from one
end of the Uni»
to the other. He shows
conclusively that t in* expenditures of the
government under the Republican ad
ministrât ions, aside from the interest on
the public debt and the amount paid as
I>c usions, which are chargeable to the
•, were nearly double that under Dem
ocratic administrations. There can be no
mistake about this. The farmers and
mechanics are taxed fully double what
they were before the rebellion, to pay
high salaries and to keep up thirty thou
sand otlire-1 h Jders more t han is needed.
But independent of this the gold gamli
lers, by demonetizing silver hoped to
make these taxes higher. The young
people now coming of age, had nothing
to do with the war: were wholly innocent
of it, and yet the bad men, such as John
Sherman, who brought it on and made
millions out of it, have tried and
trying to make these innocent young
en pay double tin* tax that a fair and
honest calculation of the first, cost of tin*
bonds and war expenditures would
amount to. The taxes are so enormous
that our youth dare scarcely to enter
tain an idea of marriage. Even the
most industrious and frugal of them find
it difficult to study out liow they could
make "the two en» Is meet," if they desire
to take upon themselves the duty of
maintaining a partner in life. And the
problem is as dillieult to solve in the
country as in the cities. The taxes upon
the people are laid upon everything; and
absorb all the profits of labor,
terest account alone costs more than all

The in
the expenditures of the government un
der Mr. Buchanan's administration ;
while the pension account amounts to an
incredible sum also. We only wonder
that the young men are not till Demo
crats; since they are opposed to such
enormous expenditures.
The insurance companies are likely to
lose heavily on the cargo of the English
iron steamer John Bramhall, now ashore
on Little Gull Island, in the sound, ofl
New London, Conn. »She had on hoard
32,000 rifles, 42,000 sabre-bayonets and
21,000,000 balls and shells, the latter to
be made into cartridges upon arrival in
Turkey. Her cargo is being rapidly re
move<l by scliooners ami lugs. As tiie
rifles were in tin cases a good part of
them have not been wet, but the bal s
and shells will be almost a total loss. If
they had been made into cartridges they
would have been in tin casas, and so pro
tected. The value of the cargo is KWV
000. The steamer will be floated in two
or three days.

1860. The ordinary expenses of the Gov

Now compare those expenditures with
thone of the last year in which the lie
publican party had unlimited control —
the fiscal year ending .lune 50,1875. The
ordinary expenses of the Government
for that year (exclusive of pensions and
interest on the public debt) were $142,
073, «32, being $83.110,082 in excess of the
last year of Democratic adminlstra'ion ;
or, in other words, the Republican ex
penditures were nearly two and a-lndf
times as great as the Democratic expen
ditures. But it may he said that

443,421, niul llio expenditures were at tho
rate of $1.87i per eapita. In 1875 the
population, as nearly as it can be he es
ti mated, was43,000,000, nn«l the
f
mul
tures were at the rate of 3.30 per capita.
Again, it may he said that the increase
of expenses grew out of the war. This
explanation will uot answer. Jn the fig
ures I have given and those I shall here
after give I exclu le the exp- uditures oc
casioned by the war, namely, pensions,
the public debt and the interest thereon,

resulting from th»* war, for, as I have
