mu Interview in the New York Times.
The reporter said: Mr. Field makes
Ithe following statement: “But when
Ir, Tilden came to testify before the
Jongressional committee, he admitted
lhatall this time he knew (although
ihe public did not know till months af-
ward) all abount bis transactions in
. B «dto the cipher dispatches. Yet,
Awing this, he presented to me a man
Who had attempted bribery, and so
keen guilty of a crime, as one worthy
|of my confidence, and the one whom he
Wially chose to represent himself.”
Said Mr. Tilden: “The moral audaci
ty, or rather the immoral audacity, is
■mating of the man who oould deliber
ately assert in a written paper, under his
two signature, that I admitted before
lhe Congressional committee that, ‘at
[his very lime, [June, 1877,] I knew all
|is transactions in regard to the cipher
liapatches.’ I testified before that com
mittee that I never knew of the exist
ence or contents of any of the cipher
a until their publication in
ir, 1878, and every witness ex-
mined and every fact elicited c'onfirm-
ld my testimony. It was further proved
pat when I was informed by Mr. Ed-
lard Cooper that Col.'Peltdn was re
ping, or was about to receive, the
lommunication of the first of the offers,
rnd the only one that came to my
knowledge, to give to the Democratic

Husband and Wife.
Tliey Never Spoke Again.
St. Louie Correspondent Cin. Enquirer.
An estimable lady died here a few
days ago, who has for about sixteen
years figured in one of the most remark-
able cases of estrangement on record,
l oo Her death left her parents without any
80 meanB of communication, and this fact
being very generally known, brought
back to the minds of St. LouisanB the
circumstances which culminated in
such a strange state of affairs. The lady’s
father was once Mayor of St. Louis, and
his administration was in the highest
degree creditable to him. He was pros
perous in business, and accumulated a
deal of wealth. While in the prime of
life he married a widow—a lady of re
finement and excellent qualities of
heart. Their life was a very harmoni
ous and happy one till one day about
sixteen yearn ago, when the husband
asked the wife to affix her signature to
a conveyance of certain of his property
of which he had made an advantageous
sale. She refused to sign for some rea
son which fully she stated. Just what
that reason was is known only to them
selves; but those who have been inti
mate with the family state that she re
garded her action as protecting the in
terest of a much-beloved son. The hus
band coaxed and importuned, but all to
no purpose. He was a man of stub
born character, and when persuasive
means failed his temper got the better
of his discretion and his love. He sol
emnly swore that unless his wife signed
that deed within a given time he never
would speak, to her again on earth.
It was a terrible oath for a man who
loved a woman as he did her, but he
meant to keep it. Unfortunately the
wife was possessed of a will and deter
mination as strong as his own, although
her manner was always as gentle and
ladj -like as ever graced a woman. She
declared that she would not be forced
into doing that which her judgment
condemned and if her refusal was to be
Gen. Toombs and a Big Bail*
road Fee.
Augusta Chronlole,
It is very generally stated that Gen.
Toombs has recently received a large
ee from the Georgia railroad for cer-
ain services by him rendered to that
corporation. The statement is that the
Macon and Augusta railroad became
indebted to the State for certain taxes
for several years, and that said taxes,
with fines and penalties, amounted in
the aggregate to the sum of one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars. The
Georgia railroad company has the con
trol of the Macon and Augusta rail
road. By reason of the endorsement
by the Georgia of a large amount of
the Macon and Augusta bonds and oth
er indebtedness, the Georgia railroad
may be considered as the virtual owner
of the Macon road. As we understand
it, Gen Toombs proposed to the Presi
dent and Directors of the Georgia road
that he would settle the State’s claim of
8150,000 against the Macon and Augus
ta road for twenty thousand dollars.
The conditions were that the money
was to be paid in advance, and that the
Macon ana Augusta railroad was to be
relieved by an act of the Legislature
from all fines and penalties. Of the
820,000 paid Geh. Toombs we learn that
812,000 went to the State treasury and
88,000 to Gen. Toombs. These are the
facts in the main in circulation in this
city. We presume that Gen. Toombs
had authority to make the settlement
for the State, otherwise he could not
have effected this arrangement with the
Georgia road. In this connection it
may not be amiss to inquire: Who gave
Gen. Toombs the authority to compro
mise this indebtedness ? How came it
that Gen. Toombs promised the passage
of a bill of relief by the Legislature ?
Gen. Toombs was to hold the 820,000
antil the terms of the compromise had
been oomplied with. In case of failure
to effect the arrangement, the money
vfas to be returned to the Georgia road.
The people would like to know the bot-
punished by such consequences, so be tom‘facte in this ease,
it. She would be as reticent as he., He
waited till the limit he bad set had
passed, and then, true to his vow, he
sealed his lips against his life compan
ion. They did not separate—they were
too proud, too just, and too regardful of
their children for that; but they guard
ed their tongues with a vigilance which
may be guessed by any one who will for
a mvment contemplate the difficulties
involved in such a situation os they had
made for themselves. They roomed
apart, but sat at the same table, and
were never guilty of any disrespect to
ward each other, save that of silence.
When circumstances made ' communi
cation between them .absolutely neces
sary, they respectively addressed their
daughter, even though at the table, and
she spoke for both. Their questions, so
put, were always framed in the third
person, and the situation would fre
quently have been laughable were it
not for the fact that two lives were
wrecked by the stubborness of which it
was the outgrowth.
And so a cloud settled down upon
that home—rich in everything but the
isace which passeth all understanding.
peace wnicn passem an uuuurBuiuuiug.
The daughter, a girl of sweet disposition,
devoted all her powers to effect a recon
ciliation, but though the love of both
centered in her, and grew stronger as
they realized how necessary she was to
their existence, she could not induce
them to forget the rash vow by which
the happiness of their lives had been
sacrificed for the paltry consideration of
a town lot. The boy in whose behalf
the signature had been refused, soop
tired of the gloom which pervaded his
home and disappeared. Whither he

curing the civil war. While her parents
grew wrinkled and gray with the main
tenance of their stern resolution and
the swift passage of years, the girl grew
into a noble womanhood, her amiable
qualities finding all the stronger devel
opment from the exercise of them
whioh was incident to her manner of
life. She won the love of a man worthy
of her—a well known lawyer here—and
could he have induced her to forsake
her home, they would have been mar
ried years ago. But she regarded the
duty of standing as a mediator between
her father and mother as a sacred one,
to which even her love must be sacn.
ficed, and she would not leave home.
Her lover remained faithful to his affec
tion, and, finally, rather than abandon
it he agreed to live in the family man
sion, and they were married. It was i
love match of the purest kind, and their
happiness was complete, save so much
as it was interfered with by the old
folk’s course. A few days ago the
. agi
young wife died very suddenly of a eon
gestive chill. The history above given
explains what a terrible calamity that
death was, to three persons at least.
The aged father, whose steps confirminj
the proofs whioh his gray hairs ant
growing wrinkles give, was m the East
endeavoring to recuperate. Having left
no address bohind him, telegrams failed
to find him, and he was only reached
finally in a Massachusetts nook, by tne
Associated Press. The corpse waapre-
served until his return—eight days af
ter her death-and was followed to the
cemetery by an immense cortege.
What more terrible pkitureordefla
tion could be conceived of than is pre-
sented by that home, with its lonely,
aged couple, whose obduracy sixteen
years could not melt, and whom death
has robbed of all that they had to live
for?

REMEDIES
The New York Democracy.
New York, September 20.—That live
ly Congressman, Sunset Cox, is filling
the air with dire prediotions. He said
to-day that unless some one was subst!
tuted for Robinson on the Democratic
ticket the election of Cornell was car
tain.
Who could unite the Demooratio par
ty ? I think Clarkson N. Potter could;
but there will hardly be any union.
Cornell will be elected.
Do you think John Kelly will receive
over 20,000 votes in the State ? Yes;
he’ll receive 50,000—yes, 70,000; enough
to defeat Robinson by a whapping ma
jority.
Why is it you, Mr. Cox, are so op
posed to Robinson 7 Because he’s the
creature of Tilden.
Senator McPherson, of New Jersey,
says he believes that by a hard pull the
Democrats will carry New York. He
does not indorse Kelley in his bolting.
Foreign Vessels at Savannah.
We learn from the News that the
“British steamship Trafalgar from
Swansea, and the British steamship Jo
seph Ferens from New York, arrived
esterday. These, with the steamship
robadour, already reported, make
three of the steam fleet expected here.
These vessels are iron built, and carry
from 4,000 to 6,000 bales of ootton.
There were thirty-two foreign steam
ships loaded at this port last season,
besides those which called at Tybee
for orders.
There are already twenty-five foreign
steamers chartered for this port, and it
iB expected that the fleet this year will
double in numbers that of last year.
While Savannah does not make much
of a sensation over her marine, it. is,
nevertheless, a fact that more foreign
steamers come to this port than to all
the other South Atlantic and Gulf ports
combined, excepting New Orleans."
Kansas has evidently had enough of
the exodus business. The Mayors of
Kansas City, and Wyandott, Kansas,
and Kansas City, Mo., whioh is on the
Kansas border, have invited a confer
ence with the refugees committee at St.
Louis, Topeka and other points, to be
held in Kansas City, Mo., September
24th, the object being, in the language
of the call, to “concert measures for di
verting tho tide of negro exodus to other
States than Kansas,” and to discuss

SALT RHEUmTfOR 30 YEARS
On tiie Head, Face and Greater Part of
the Body, Cured.
Messrs. Wosks A Pottsr: Gentlemen—I have
been a great sufferer with Balt Rheum for 30
years, oommsnoing in my head and face and
extending over the greater part of my body. I
have taken gallons of mtdloines for the blood of
different kinds and tried good physloians, all of
whioh did me no good, and I came to the eonoln-
slon that I oould not be oared. Bat a friend
called my attention to an artiote In the Union
on skin disease*, and I got a box of Outleura.
The first application was a groat relief, and the
third took the soales all off, and I felt like a
new man. I have nsed three 60.cent boxes tnd
my skin is smooth, and I consider myself en
tirely oared. Hoping that this may be soon by
some one afflleted as I hare been (if there is
any) Is my earnest wish. And I cheerfully rec
ommend U to all persons afflicted with like dis
eases. Yonrs truly,
