EOVtABD SAMUfiL, At ChtoUMMril, Wfoti feteliy injured by falling foom^ tbs top of a 7', Wai Be Wot Right! . Our esteemed contemporary, the Phll l^lpbin Tiwre. has some observations ,M^>n the discussion concerning Mr. Til idM aS a possible candidate for President in4M4; and of these observations the following seem to us to merit especial ho* tieei ~ "« J h ioMt is not doubted that Mr. Tilden is feeble 'be President, mainly- for the reason that when eihetbd he didn’t become President. "The men he .then allowed to cheat him out of hla office M Ineverforgi ve htanjor.the wrong they did ■girt for the man that Won’t t for himself.” aialThe first thing to be said upon these -points is that if m 1880 Mr. Tilden had -allowed hint^ff to be ndtiMtaMet, ta would in all probability have been elected. General Hancock came very nbar being elected; and’ yet his nom ination presented no such issue and raised no such popular enthusiasm as Would have followed the nomination of Mr. Tilden. The reason why Mr. Til den was not nominated was that he 10- and the reason ^w^y he refused ■ •We wp told by ths Times that •• the ]»a»ty which gave him more than a quar ter of a million ‘popular majority won’t tight for the man that won’t fight for htaselL’’ •, We can onto understand this as meaning that in 1876-7 Mr. Tilden shpuld have declared himself President, •and should have maintained his title to the office by fighting. |n «ur • jiidgißfent, thia would have been a’ terrime mistake. The course adopted by Mm seems to us altogether w.ber t 4no’re periotic, and more lauda ble. Ui the'temper of the Republican party apd the country at that time, and with the u ihnimous determination of all the officeholders and of the great mass of the Republican voters to main foin their party in power by every 'MSana, such lighting would doubtless have inaugurated one of the most bitter and sangummy of civil wars. It is to the immortal honor of Mr. Tilden that he shrank from this dread alternative, preferring to refer the- question to-the tribunal of history ami to the justice of the fittu'fe. That justice has already ’ decided in his favor. There is no lon ger any disinterested and well-informed man who doubts that the installation of Hayes in the White House was utterly fraudulent; and although Mr.- Tilden has not enjoyed the opportunity of re forming the Government, he can at least carry with him to the last the rc fledtion that he deliberately submitted to the extrttnest wrong which partisan 'malignity could indict, rather than seek through fighting to enforce a claim whose justice' time and the evidence of truth have now firmly established.— N. K Hun, ; r Republican Party Prospects. Republican newspapers are very in dustrious in-pointing out the symptoms of discord in the ranks of the Democrat ic party, especially in the South. This sort of party taeti'es in resorted to as a sort of counter-irritant. There is evi dtuicn enough that the Republican party is held together by nothing but the co heMyc power of public plunder. This may at any time prove to be only a rope of sand. Strong as it has proven during the venal period of Republican rule, It tea bond of union which always has in the seeds of its own dissolution. The ' financial theories of the Republican party of the East. U reduced to practice, or ' pressed to the point of giving them real < ivtitaUty, wit! inevitably drive the-btates 1 rad the Pardfie slope and also Colorado intp the Democratic foM. The Repub lican majority In those States, if ft ex ists at all. Is ’very doiibtfnl. And yet the Republican party, weakened by the loss of them, would be In a minority. Belford, of Colorado, has been openly rebellious throughout the present ses- Sn AntL Uie language of Senator ler, of the same State, recently ut > tanedin the Senate, is full of significance.

Mr. Tilden. A telegraphio correspondent of the Chicago Times sends that paper the fol lowing from Washington: ” Samuel J. Ttlden has been the subject of numerous paragraphs, of late. In connection With Ui* Democratio Convention of 1884. It IS said that he desires to have the honor of re nomlnatlan, and that, if he Is elected, he win hold the office only for a short time, and then resign in favor of the aemieman occupying the second place on the ticket. Jie would per haps remain in the office for she months, in augurate one or two great reforms, and then do what no American President has ever done before, resign. This would vindicate him tn history. This ’story, with elaborate varia tions,n» an printed in nearb every news- Siper In the country. How much foundation ere is for it was shown today in aeon versa m held by the TiaMS correspondent with one of the leading managers of the Ttlden cam putanin wd <t present an official in high position. He was one of the flnanclal agents of Mr. Tilden in that campaign, and has since maintained reasonaNs intimacy with Mr. T£ den and his advisers. He says he has no doubt somewhere down in Mr. Tilden's mind there may have been developed just such an idea as the one represented in the story above men tioned, but that nothing more impracticable could have been developed from the wildest imagination. Re says If the public understood the physical condition of Tilden to-day they would not listen to or credit any story of his future candidacy. He says that Tilden Is now so : disabled that he is unable to feed himself. He has a nurse and at tenddhts constatiy wlth Mm. He is not able to eat solid food, and the little he eats is fed to ’ Ihlm with a spoon. His voice cannot be heard the distance nf four or Ove feet from him, and it is only with the greatest difficulty that bis friends can make out his wishes. He is in the very last extreme of feebleness, and, in conso qilonce of physical Ills, his mind has become acrionsly affected. No one now in attendance upon him believes that he will live as long as IM. and if he does no one then will be so un kind as to mention the name of this paralytic, exhausted, Worn-out old man as a <mndidate foreyen such a defunct organization as the Bourbon party.” Mr. Tilden is in reasonable health. This is to say, that he is neither an ath lete nbr a cripple. He is immersed in his own private concerns. He lives at Graystone while his house inGrammarcy Park is being enlarged and reconstruct ed. When it is finished it will be one of the two or three mansions in the city of New York which can be called splendid. He supervises the work upon it almost daily. He may be seen three or four times a week down town, either at his own offices or at board meetings, where he is a director. He is a very rich man, and an incessantly busy one. He has no more idea of being the next President of the United States than the Chicago Times correspondent has of go ing to heaven. He could not be in duced to accept any nomination or public place whatever. He loves his. country, is loyal to his party, and takes a live interest in current affairs. His counsel and his purse are open to his party. His person he has reserved to his declining years, which he proposes to enioy with his friends, his books and his pictures, of which he is fond. He enjoys society as keenly as he ever did, and is as pungent and epigrammatic as of yore in his conversation and repartee. No one has ever heard a murmur of complaint escape his lips. Those who know him best know that he is the exact opposite of a disappointed man, and i that he regarded his liberation from party obligations and services as an act • of emancipation. We speak advisedly, . therefore, when we say that, under no circumstances, could he be induced again to enter, personally, into the struggles of political life. A moretran i quil, a more nappy, and a more agree able philosopher is not to befqund, and, being such, people need give themselves ; no concern about bis future, either as it relates to himself or the plans, schemes । and aspirations of other men.— Louisville Courier-Journal. Organised to Sabsidlae. We have seen that Speaker Kelfer made no mistake in the. make-up of the Committees of the House. They have been constructed throughout on a per ' fectly logical plan and with a view to the accomplishment of certain specific ends. It will be interesting to the people to observe their harmonious operation as , the session progresses. The Committee of Ways and Means is so constituted that there will be no serious effort to reduce , the enormous surplus in the Treasury and thereby remove a portion of the bur > dens of the tax-payers. The Committee ‘ of Appropriations is so constituted that , there will be little obstruction in the way , of a most generous expenditure. It is probable that the taxes on matches and ’ bank checks will be removed, but there will be no serious diminution of the ■ Treasury surplus. J The Committee of Commerce is formed otrthe same generons system. Pag% of California, the Chairman, is well chosen, and he is supported by a ma । jority who will favor the most liberal ; appropriations for rivers and harbors, and all sorts of subsidies for the sake , of restoring the languishing commerce , of the country. In such a commit . tee the magnificent projects of John Roach will receive a most hearty । welcome. For a long time the patriotic ! soul of John Roach has been deeply . grieved because the starry flag of his . country floats over so small'a number . of ocean steamships. In order that this . National humiliation and reproach may । no longer exist Mr. Roach is willing, in j consideration of liberal subsidy from , Congress out of taxes wrung from the , people, to establish lines of steamships , ao that the American flag may no long er be a stranger in the great commercial t porta Os the world. It is very true that . the English and French are doing the carrying trade at much less cost than j this magnificent plan of subsidy would I involve- It has been suggested over and over . again that the restrictive provisions of i the ancient Navigation laws be re . pealed; that the privilege bo afforded . American citizens to buy ships where t they Reused, and that the heavy duties . upon materials that are used m ship i building be reduced. If American ship . building could net bo made prosperous , by those methods, at hast the removal i of restrictions upon purchaao would 5 ovnr store ships than at present. But . such sxporiiMnta for promoting the t carrying trade of the country would not I require enormous expenditures of pub j lie money, nor would they afford any , subsidy to John Roach, which is the , maitt : consideration, . Capitalists who 1 would float the flag must not bo per .i mitted to buy shipj where they can be . bought the cheapest, for that would bo ih violation of the prevailing economic idea that there can be no commercial or r .industrial prosperitr in this country un -1 less the people are .heavily taxed for it THE BATESVILLE GUARD, nmorunanmn. ~ ~ |lta. |Sla. |Sia.|<ia.|Meel.| lesl» j z *?:S ttS S Lu.
