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 Sectors their certificates far a pecuniary Iducement, I instantly interfered, broke Ip the conference and crushed the in- Ipiem negotiations.

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.

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? (uticura 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 Infallibly Cure all Skin and Scalp Dis ease*, Scaly Eruptions. Itchlngs, and Irritations. The testimonials of permanent ouros of Skin and Soalp Diseases, which have been the torture of a lifetime; by the Cutlopra Remedies, are more wonderfhl than any ever before performed by any methods or remedies known to the med ical profession. Cutieura Rosolvont, a powerful Blood Purl Aar, is the only purifying agent whioh Ands its way into the circulating fluid and thenee through the oil and aweat glands to the surfaoe of the ■kin, thus destroying the poisonous elements with whioh theso vessels have boen dally oharged. Cutieura, Tho Great Skin dure, applied exter nally, arreiti all unnaiural or morbid growths which cover tho snrfaoe of tho diseased glands and tubes with Scaly, Itching and Irritating Humors, speedily it removes them, leaving the { lores open, healthy and freo from diseased par- iolss of matter. Thus internally and externally do those groat remodlos aot in oonjnnotlon, performing ouros that havo astonished the most noted physicians of tho day. 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, B. WILSON LORD. Agawam, Mass., Sept. 9, 1878.
