Gov. .Doraheimer declaring bo knew Gov.' Tilden was opposed to the passage of the law creating the Electoral Com mission, is the subject of much com ment in political circles here, espe cially by leading Democrats, who' have intimate. knowledge of all the, material facts, and are in a p'osition to know how that act came to be passed. ',' . : ' ' "When tiie conspiracy was first de veloped, by which Louisiana and Florida were to be captured through returning board?, and Mr. Zach. Chandler telegraphed over the coun try on the Sthof November,1 "Hayes ' i3Sone hundred and eighlV-five votes and is elected," right in the face pf the returns for .Mr. Tilden, Mr. Hew itt and others of the National Demo cratic committee were urged to -ap-peal to the'country, and - to prepare measures to defeat this daring scheme, to steal the Presidency. ' Had Mr. Tilden "and his friends pursued this course I promptly arid energetically it is believed the conA' spirators would have halted in their design when confronted with a popu lar' majority of a million of white votes and a quarter of a million of white and black, independent of a clear; and honest majority in the Electoral Colleges. . - . The New York managers hesitated to take this, responsibility, and of coarse they consulted with Mr. Til den. Their excuse was that Congress was alout to meet, and it Would be better to wait and take counsel of the Democrats 1 in both Houses. When Congress came together on the first Monday in December no lino of actionjlwas Marked outj and opinions were loose and unsettled. Naturally enough the Democrats looked to Mr. Tilden as their leader, anal expected from him some sugges . tion of positive policy. None was rrfade. t Meantime the conspiracy was rowing in strength every day by the 8Upfienesa,lisiraciea counsels aim ab sence jot unity on). the Democratic side, , because thercwas no Tallying 5 Jl.l, ofvanrflh mmht a couceritrated. Troops were drawn to Washington, and ; preparations weremade for a state of flagrant war, about which the public has been but indifferently informed. Finding that New York would not ' moyetT lead the Way, the Western Democrats in OhioJ Indiana and Illi nois made Jiemonstrations of a pur pose nbt .to submit tamely to the in tended frauds If that movementhad been seconded warmly by meetings over the North for the South' bad its hands tidd and was little more than a passive spectator- the plot might still liave been arrested, though it had gained headway and beeome formida ble. - -..-,VV : t! M : ---W- - ' Mr. ilewitt and his advisers turned a cold shoulder on this movement, and discouraged it every way, so that it may beaid to have fallen still-born. With this failure disappeared the last hope of crushing oat the conspiracy by a popular rising against it. Mr. Zacb. Chandler and his associates were elated, and all the Democrats were depressed. ; Daring all this time Democratic' members of the Senate and House of Representatives ras constantly in coaference with 'Mr. Tilden, without being able to obtain from him ay plan or decision which would solidify the party. ' ' . e! The session was drifting on Uiith& day fast approafihing for a count of, !the vote. Mr. Edmand had drafted fauj bill for the electoral eoaimission, I uid it was referred to a committee, In this state of things, and before ei ther party was. committed absolute-. VOL. XX.--NO. 88. ly, three members of the House of Representatives went to New, York and consulted with Mr. Tilden, bear ing messages from some of the most distinguished Senators.- The alterna tives presented were a resolute - call upon the people to'defend their rights, submission to the iniQuity, or the passage of the -electoral bill. Mr. Tilden heard them patiently,' con sidered all the points, and ..closed by saying, "Don't be in a hurry." Others saw him without getting any decisive juagment or aavice, one ser. Dene.ving him for the bill and another against it. . Under these circumstances the bill became a law. The Democrats were never confident of success, but they were encouraged by the belief that Judge Davis would be a member of the commission, and they expected much from his impartiality, moral courage arid practical mind, in sweep ing away the devices and deceptions, and frauds of the Returning Boards. He was unexpectedly elected to the Senate, and having decided to accept that place; refused to sit on the com mission, even if. unanimously chosen: The rest is recent history and need not be repeated. Mr. Dorsheimer's statement is nnchallenered, but it must be said he enjoyed a. confidence from Mr. -'Tilden which was strangely withheld from his best 'friends in Congress and from the leaders of the party who were entitled torknow his opinions on this subject. - Mr.- Til den has many statesmanlike qualities, but he is not a leader of men.' 'His mind is slow, deliberate j and well poised, but he lacks vthej spirit of prompt action and of energetio com mand. Ha may bo said r to have thrown away the Presidency owing to this constitutional organization. ' If Mr. Tilden had given the least sign of disapproval the electoral bill never Would have passed. As it was his nephew, Mr. Pelton, was estab lished with a large suite at the Ar lington Hotel during the Whole win-, ter as the . accredited manager or his uncle. But he never pretended to be against the bill, nor did Mr. Hew itt, Senator Kernan, or any of Mr. Tilderi's confidential circle.' ; .' Spirits Turpentine.

' J ! Waters o( WUmUcton. A scientific contributor, in' the Raleigh Hem gives an analysis : of . the waters of Wilmington. : The most common fault de tected in them is the presence of iron, in many of them in rather large proportions. The river water is rendered unfit for do mestic use by the presence . of bydro-sni- phuricacid. The writer adds: "Ua the whole the waters of Wilmington average better than might reasonably have been ex pected. It must be remembered, however, that on account of the porous nature of the strata the waters of this city will be very liable td contamination from garbage and other putrescibla accumulations of the streets and back lots.' f "The Greenfield Pond water'-shows a very remarkable degree of purity, surpass ing even the Croton, and also the. spring three miles from the city ; so that it is pos sible to obtain, near at hand, as pure water as is found in the mountains or other most favored regions, when the time arrives for public waterworks to take the place of private springs and wells."

WEED TONIC.-In the at mosphere experienced here during the summer months, .the lethargy produced by the heat takes awiy the desire for wholesome food, and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, particularly those suffering from the effects of debilitating dis- eases. In order to keep a natural healthful activity of the system we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual A few doses wilt create an atmetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body. For dys pepsia It is invaluable. . Many eminent physicians -have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanent ly cured by the drugs which are generally employed for that, purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic In its na ture Is totally different from such drugs. It contains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her defi ciencies. The tonic in its nature bo much resembles the gastric juice that it is almost, identical with that fluids The gastric Juice is the natural 'solvent which, in a Sealthy-conditlon.of the body causes the food to be digested, and when this juice Is not excreted in sufficient quantities, indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic BoldbyallJJniggists. ' . ; , NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Apples at AnctioH.
