vention at Albany, he pubmit'ed a condensed statement of the taxation incur red by the North for the eupport of the machinery erected bv Gongreea 'ontaide the Conetiiution,' for euhjeciing the South to the interest of the dominant pnlincal party. A fter reciting the acta of Congress on tlie subject of Southern government, Mr. Tilden proceeded: "How, my fellnw citizens, hss this work been accomplished, and at what coul The tnnin instruments hare been the Freedmeu's Bureau and the army of the United States. The Freedmeri'e Bureau is partly an ele mneynary eatubliehm-'rit, which diepen-ee alma to the liberated lavea, and assumes to be their protector. It is, to a large extent, a job for its deppndaiiu and t hei speculative associates. Bu in N principal character, tt is a politicnl machine to orrsnizr; and insnajre the three miihoiis of negroea. 11 cost, aa reported by itnelf, lo the public trei sury, tor the laet two yeare, ie about ten Willie n of dollars The army is used lo overawe the white race, and aonieiiuns to wurk and eimeiime to shelter the working of the political eykwhich goes on under ihe military govern iiient oG the ten Ststee. You have eeen telgrem announcing the redur.iion of the army exnensea. When I was iu Waehii.gtun we k befure last I icok some paitis lo sacertain the iru'li.

Vhe verage lor the ten yearn prior K. the rebellion, w us ahoui fi teen millions; and our fxpenence in ralaifl volun leers shows that a Hanging army is uune cessary. You may safely count ihnt recontlructlon carried 011 by these military gnverninerits cost you it lean one hundred m lliom. a year in army expenses, unnecessary for other purposes.

I venture to predict mat nve nun dred millions will not consummate the sys tem. These immense sums have to be wrung from ihe people In txa which coat them much more than the amount thus expended, at a lime when the illusions nf 'paper money are passing nwav, and ihe country discov ers itself exh usted and impoverished bv war; when no cmnmeice is profi'able end nearly all mnu!a.:iur a arp carried on at a loss; when labor ia scantily employed, and the coil ol living 11 h tfh; when tixaiioo closely approaches to the whole net income ol all capital and all the. labor in the country; and when this condition is daily grow, ing worse, and can only be alleviated by reifucing expenaos, renrttmy tX"S, liberating trade and industry, and resiorieg them to their natural course's If those three milliona ol ngrne elect twenty Senators and fifiy representatives, they will have ten timee as much power in the Senate of the United Sitten aa the four milliona In New York State.

'Another pound!' ejaculated ihe doctor, with his eyes almost ready to start from their eockete, 'what another pound!' Yea. air; I gin the whole of that pound I bought Ihe other day 10 pesky old rat, and made it awfully eick. and I am aure another pound would kill him right out.'
