Wheeler, in the course of his speech at diaiid Ilap itls, Michigan, Wednesday evening, said: They (democrats) make all sorts of charges against us. The St. Louis convention says the republican party has given Cl.'oV'oo.O'.i'i a-res of railroad lands to railroad corporations; fi.it is. I that there has been all that iven al together. Now, the iirt gra.it that was ever given to a railroad corpora tion was made under th? lead of Ste phen A. Douglas to the Illinois Central railroad. And about the last grant that was ever ma le was got through LIXJAL FKKS. About this time of the year we ex pect to see the usual frantic appeals to the "poor taxpayers" about the refusal of the County Commissioners, or the County Treasurer, to "let to the lowest bidder the printing of the delinquent tax list." Put this is all bosh. The law requires that the owner of every piece of real estate, upon which the taxes are delinquent titter a certain date, shall be assessed ten cents for a city lot and twenty cents fr a quarter seriion or less of land, thus delinquent, in addition to the tax, in order to pay for advertising the same, ami requires the treasurer to collect and pay over to the newspaper thus advertising, this amount. The taxpayers w ho pay their taxes promptly, pay nothing for this adver tising. If the newspaper agrees with the treasurer to take less than the fees the law prescribes, the treasurer does not give the difference, to the parties who pay for the advertising, but puts it into his own pocket, or. if he, in onler to curry favor, puts it into the county treasury, il is no less a steal from either the printer, or the delin quent taypayer. The delinquent is mulcted in interest and damages, al ready for the benefit of the county. If the law makes the advertising fees too large, it ought to be amended, but it is just iis proper, when there are several candidates for printing the de linquent lists to "let it to t lie lowest bidder," ;is it would be if there were several candidates for the otlice of jus tice of the; peace in a precinwt, to let that oilice to the lowest bidder, that is. to the one who would agree to pay a portion of his legal fees to the com missioners, as a bribe,' or to the county treasury. No honest county treasurer will de mand that a newspaper shall divide with him the legal fees for advert ising the delinquent tat list, but will, ns it is his manifest duty to do. have it printed in the paper published in the county having the largest circulation, and pay every dollar for it that he col lects for that purpose, as the law di rects. But the fact is that no reputable and permanent newspaper can as a mattwr of business, afford to do w ork for a county at pi ices much below the rates it charges individuals. The pay for thit advertising, which is a transient matter, is legally put at from C1 i to " cents per line for each insertion. The composition costs double that of ordi nary reading matter, and several hun dred pounds of type, not needed for any ordinary emergency, must be kept for this especial purpose in a county of considerable population. It is true that, in some instances, the wrangle over tics small bone, between rival "snide" country papers gets so hot that they offer to publish the list for nothing, but this is not business, only a disgrace to the profession. A man w ho should get so raving mad after oilice as to agree to discharge its du ties for nothing, to keep some rival out, would bo set down as either an ass or a lunatic, and couldn't get a dozen votes in any respectable commu nity. Xo respectable citizen ever de scends to this mode of getting an office, and no respectable newspaper ever otters to do work for the public when the compensation is fixed by statute, for less than the legal fees. The law fixes the fees for the protection of the public, and the laborer for the public, just as it fixes fees for any other oilicial services, and both parties are entitled alike to the protection of the statute.

The wilderness j that would not otherwise have been ' developed is now developing with suf ', licient rapidity, and nobody that has j the good of the country at heart and ! understands himself wants any more ! land grants at present). Col. 11. d. Ingersoll has addressed the following to the Peoria Transcript : Asa great deal has been said con cerning a few gentle remarks that I made before the county convention the other day, and a great deal more about remarks that I never made, that I think it right to tell what I did say: First I did say that the worst ward in New York, the ward in which there is the most ignorance, the most crime, the most vice and the most lice, would give the largest Democratic majority. Second 1 did say, speaking of (Jen. (.rant, that he had done more than any other man, probably, to save the na tion ; that 1 could not forget that at Donelson the eagle circled up the cliffs to victor for the lirst time, and when I heard a dirty, lousy democrat or rebel slander and curse him, that I felt out-rag-- 1. T hird I say that this was a time of general suspicion that everybody sns-pe.-ii'd everybody. That if an olVne holder had a decent suit of clothes, he was charged w ith stealing them, and that lazy loafers rould sit on the cor ners, with faces that had not been washed for a year, ami denounce every man Avitli a clean shirt "as a thief." I'pou the subject of shirts -dirt, and vermin. I made no other observations. What I did say is bad enough and tru- enough without any addition whatever; but bad as it is and true as M. is, I am willing to, and do stand hv I every word. I do say thai tho worst wards, the j worst cit ies, the wor.st tales, are the 'democratic wards, the democratic I cities, and the democratic states. I do not say that the Hamburg niurderfis are supporters of TiMcn and Hen dricks. I do say that the haters of liberty the assassins of colored men. women, and children the masked wretches who ride to the hut of the freedman and shoot him down like a beast, disregarding the prayers and tears of wife and chiMien. I do say that these men are not for Haves and Wheeler. I do say that the real friends of lib erty are the only friends of labor, and that those who vote for Hayes and Wheeler are the best friends of liberty, labor and love. I write this for one reason, and for one reason onlv. I am unwilling that i any one should believ e that I j.dge i men by their condition or position. I instead of by th(nr heads and hearts. P.

Martin Van Puren, w hen dorernor of New York appointed one Marcy to a high judicial position to save him i Marcy) from exposure as corrupt. Reference to a biography of Tihlen shows that his father was one of Van Huron's "most cherished, intimate, and personal friends."

At all events, "in the seclusion of his own chamber," little Sammy produced a paper on the subject which he submit ted to his father. The old gentleman was so much pleased that he took Sammy to see Mr. Van Duron. Tho old Democrat who appointed Marcy to a judgeship to save that bad man from exposure was so enamored of little Sammy's performance that he caused it to be published "with tho signatures of a dozen or more leading Democrats It appeared in th-o Albany Ar'ns as an address, and the Jourirl attributed it to the pen .of Van Rureii himself. Thus early did Tilden show himself the equal of Martin Van Huron, "in ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" the equal of Van Duron, of whom his friend Jesse Iloyt said: For my political education I am mainly indebted to you, and I have, learned that politics is a matter of dol lars and cents, and adherence to party the only hope of gain. TIIK NKW VOKK ( ONVKNTIONV The nomination of I-Mwiu H. Mor gan for (lo verrior by the Republican Convention at Saratoga, N. V., yester day is probably the most prudent choice that could have been made, inasmuch as it will undoubtedly unite all classes of Republicans in support of the State ticket. Mr. Morgan is well known to the political world, hav ing served in many places of distinct ion. He was Vice J 'resident of the first Republican Convention, which met at Pittsburg in 1 "'). and was then made Chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee, a place he tilled con tinuously up to the meeting of the Cincinnati Convention. Was elected dovernor of New York in and was re-elected in IS'"'). He was a Ma jor dencral in the, army, but served without pay, refusing to receive any compensation for the service he ren dered the country, in I, sua ne was elected United States Senator, Idling the position with much credit. In ISC; President Lincoln offered him the Treasury portfolio, which he declined, and at the end of his term returned to private life, where, with the exception of his services as Chairman of Nation al Committee, he has remained until now. Mr. Morgan inspires more of confidence than enthusiasm, but his known probity, high personal charac ter, and excellent public record render him particularly strong in the coming rierce struggle in the Lmpiru "state. The rest of the ticket is a good one, and the whole proceedings at Saratoga yesterday augur well for the victory of the ticket in New York next Novein- iL-V. lliltr-ft:r'tu.
