" America is a nallcn, not n league,"
whllo tho democracy conlent themselves
limply with "re-afllnnlng their fnith in tho
" permanency of tho federal Union." In
oilier words, Ihe republicans dcclitro that
the United Stttca is a nation, whllo tho de
mocracy only ncccpt of it as a compact or
confedctatlon of tUtcs. Tho cna accepts
It as a government of tho people, by the
people, for tho people, whllo tho other sim
ply takes It as a loaguo of (t iles, not a
government of tho people. Tho Idea that
tho United States Is n naticn, curies with
it tho Idea of Indissolubility, of tho right
ofoilf preservation. The idea of a con
fedcracy, concedes that thotio which binds
the federal Union together may ba snapped
at tho will ot tho majority of any ono state,
and whllo It may not concede tho nlnoluto
right of secession, yet it precludes tho Idea
of tho tight of tho government of tho
whole, or of n majority of tho states, coer

Decease of the Speaker of tho House.
One of the most painful cpisodc3 in our
public affairs has beoa the deccaso ot tho
Bpeaker of the hou'c of .reprcjentatlvcs of
tho United States, after a prolonged period
of intense suffering. Distressing as tho
earthly parting between Mr. Kerr and lib
family and frlondi must Lnvo been, yet
f qiully must havo been n happy relief

loss, for Mr. Keir was an able, and what
theso times Is of moro value, a most faith.

Whtthcr as neighbor In tho community
where ho Lnl his residence, as lawyer con

legislator at tho capital of bis etato and
lie capital ot ins country, ho was a man
and ii u officer whoso action win governed
by tho most honoralilo scnee of duty
well ns a high degroo of ability. During
tho short tlmo Iu which it was his fortune
to fill tho high office of spoakcr of th
hnueo of represintattvoj of tho United
States, he impresiod all Ills colleagues, o
nil parties, with his integrity and linpir.
Utility, and Ills desire to conduct his sbaro
of the important business of legislation la

Tho decearo of tbo speaker of tho bouse
of representatives shows that, fully as

SAMUEL J. TILDEN.
Tho Sham Roformor Exposod.
The Now York Timet of Tuesday con-
talned eomo startling elevelopments In re
gard to tho democratic candldoto for the
presidency.
Tho Times finds on Inquiry in tho proper
piaitor that Mr. Tilden, whoso voluntary
contributions to the support of the na'lon's
llfo do not nppear whero thoso ot eithers
nro found, alio took caro not to contribute
his duo share of tho Involuntary contribu
tions which in theory nil of us ato com
pelled to make. In other words, tho great
reformer contrived In very questionable
ways to pay just ai liltlo a3 was possible nf
tho tax duo from him on tho great wealth
ho was acquiring dining tho ten jcxrs or
moro that a tlx was imposed upon in
comes. Tho first income tax law was passed In
August, lHG 1 , and Imposed n lax upon tho
incomes ot Mint jeir lo lie collected to tho
Bpring of 1802. Amendments wero mado
in July, 1802, and at various later periods,
as is well known. Every ono wa rcepilrcd
to mako n return of his inomo under rath,
nnd with consldeiable detail. Mr. Til .'en
mndo returns for the ye us 1802 and 1803.
but alter that ho pcems to hnvcromo to tho
conclusion that it was cheaper for hitn to
malic no return, nut t leave tno assessor
to gunes at his Incomo, and then to pay a
tax upon tho Bum so guessed nt, with tie
penalty of fifty per ccr.t added, which the
law imposed tor falluro to make a return.
THE INCOME TAX DODOKD rOU NINE VEA11S,
And so Mr. Tilden mado no return of Ms
incomo after that of 1803 for all tho years
during which that tax continued, which
was down to 1872. We presume no ono
will suggest that year nfter rar ho submit
ted to pay a penalty for not making a re
turn nud to pay besides Ids jmtfhmcof
tho tax. The inevitable oncluMou h that
ho found it cheaper not to do ai an hotest
citizen, ns a smcerc upholder of tho gov-
crnment would have done, viz., make out
a correct return ot his Income nnd pay the
tax: upon it.
If anv one has any llntrerini: doubt unon
inn sunjeci ii win vanisti wnen we til
them that during tLe entire! petiod of the
Imposition of tho income tax Mr. Tilden,
millionaire as no was. nam a tax on nn nv
erngj, income, penalties included, of about
SIG.UUU a year. Thi", bj it remembered,
was miring tuo years when lis was re.
celving that large incomo from his occupa
tion as a rauwav wreeKcr, wu:c i has made
ma enormous tortunc.
WHAT nn WA nu.rl.su IN THOSE YEAl'.S.
It was during those years that S. J. Til
den was reorganizing tho Terra II m'e, St
Louis and Alton railroad company, from
which alons he admits under ca'h that he
received in ono year $20,000 In cash nud
large amount of bonds ; that ho was a part
ner, counsel nnd trustee, gobbling up tho
Galena and Chicago rallrcal company in
Illinois; that ho wa3 appropriating to him
self tho great profits of tho Continental
Improvement ompany, and tho Grand
Hapids and Indiana railroad compacy, and
the Peninsular railroad, companv in Michi
gan. It waa durinR this period that aa counsel
of Oakes Ames ho gavo the adv!ca which
led to tho Credit Mobelier with Its crop of
tiauua and scandals it wa3 durtnt; tins
period, too, that bo 6tands charged upon
tho books of the Krlo railroad company
with $20,000 paid him lor legal Bcrvices,
extending over two months only. It was
during this period that ho purchased his
costly residence at Gramcrcy patk. Yet
with all theso sources and eviuenco ot a
largo incomo this earnest supporter of the
government coutlnucd to pay tax on nn
average incomo of only about $15,000 a
year.
WHAT THE LAW JIIOIIT WKIKO HiOM IIIM
If the laws wero enforced against our
model reformer ho would havo to dijsorgo
a large sum out of which ho has cheated
the government. If such a suit is brought
tho Times suggests to the government
whero it will find somo conclusive testi
mony. On December 20, 1803, Mr. Tdelen
swore to a return under rath, in which he
Bald:
"I hereby certify that tho following is n
truo and faithful s'nicment of thn gnlu3,
profits or incomo of Samuel J. Tilden. of
t lie city of New York nnd county of New
York, state of Now Yoik, whether derived
from any kind of property, rents, interests,
dividends, snlary, or from any profession,
trade, employment, or vocation, or from
any other source whatever, from tho 1st
day of January to tho !)lBt day of Djcem
her of 1802, both days incliv-ivc, and sub.
ject to nn lucorno tax under tbo exel'o laws
of tho United States: income from all
sources Bcven thousand ono hundred nnd
eighteen dollars,"
But In his answer to tho complaint in the
circuit court of tho United States in tbo
Bult of the St. Louis, Alton and Teiro
Ilauto railroad company against Limso'f
and others, which answer was filed a lew
days ago, Mr. Tilden swore under oath as
follows :
'That for such services tho defendant
Tiden mado a charge of $10,000 against
Baid second moitgago ben llioMers, ami tbo
said charge was paid by or rn bebnlf of
said second mortgxga bondholders ou the
17th of October, 1802. That tho defendant
Tilden, for a part of his services aioteuhl,
dso made a charo of the like sum of $10,
000 cn account of profess lonalscrvlcoB iin.
dered to thu first mortgage bondholders
and tho receivers, which was paid to' Lira
by tho Eaid Azalah O. Pl igL', which tnv
ment appears under dato of Nov. 7, 1802,
in a Etn'cmmt annexe 1 to tho first report
aforesaid ns having been lero'pted for by
tho said Tilden 'on account of professional
services.'"
AFFIDAVITS THAT PO NOT ACllHSE.
liy his own iworu admission Mr. 'J ilden
Btands indebted to tho government In a con
siderable sura ior unpaid incomo tax for
unpaid incomo tax for 1802, and thcro nro
two oaths by Mr. Tilden utterly inconslst
cnt with each other. It is of course clear
that In 1802 Mr. Tilden must havo hnd
much incomo other than tho $20,000 ho
admits having received from tho Terra
Haute railroad company. Ills professional
income from other sources la that year
must have" been largo. Moreover, that he
had n consider iblo Incomo from other
sources Is rendered coitatn by tho fart that
