THE CRIMINATING LETTERS.
IFroin tbe N, Y r . Sun.]
There is a general belief, which is con
firmed by the statement of Mr. Mulligan
in Boston, that Blaine suppressed and'
altered portions of the letters which he
read to the House. A careful examination
of them shows that they have been tam
pered with, and it is not at all unlikely
that substitutions haye been made since
they were seized and appropriated by
Blaine. A man who is capable of acting
as he did in regard to these letters, after
pledging his honor to return them to Mul
ligan, is equal to any ether deception.
Various circumstances warrant
r
I
the
The
strongest suspicion in this respect,
memorandum of Mulligan which accom
panieil the letters, defines their order both
by dates and by numbers, and describes
each consecutively with a synopsis of tho
contents. There are several w hich relate
to the same subject, and therefore ought to
he classified and read together, for a
perfect understanding of their conlenis.
In reading these letters, Blaine broke
all the connections purposely, scattered the
dates promiscuously, and confused the sub
jects, so that the general or careless reader
might not discover the fraud, or see tho
successive stages of Ills venality, before

meant to defy the sternest investigation,

and by the regular dates.
is.
The practice of the House of Represen
tatives is, when a member himself reads
papers to baud them over to the official
reporters, in order that the exact contents
may appear in the Conr/mrional Record.
In this caso there was no verification
whatever. Blaine retained possession of
the letters all through and passed them
over to liis own clerk as they were read.
So that in point of fact, tho official reporl
gives only Blaines version of the letters
as taken down by the stenographers, with
out any comparison having been made
with the originals.
It is discovered that one of the most
important letters, dated October 4, 1871,
wherein Blaine refers to his services on llie
last night of the session in behalf of the
Little Rock job, a most suspicious omission
lias been made between tho copy sent out
by the Associated Press and that printed
in the Conyrrwiona/ Record. That altera
tion could only have been made by Blaine's
authority, as the proof sheets were only
furnished at midnight to the press agent
by the Government Printer. The motive
of it is transparent.
In the memorandum of Mulligan is the
following item:
"8. Oct. 24, 71. Flslier to Blaine, urging
settlement of N. P. R. aeeounl, f25,(S(K)."
When that was read Blaine said,
"There is no such letter in the package.
The letter he speaks of seems to have
been from Mr. Fisher to myself. There
wasno such letter in the package." Now,
that letter was in the regular numerical
order, and was. doubtless, in the package
when Blaine sized it by force and carried
it off. He doubtless destroyed it, for the
letter furnished evidence of a demand
made by Fisher for the payment of $26,
000, which Blaine had received from
him for an interest in the Northern Pacific
that he had failed to heliver.
Blaine would not have presented Mulli
gan's memorandum to the House at all il
Mr. Glover had riot properly and posi
tively insisted upon its production, and also
demanded that it should " he read at the
Clerk's desk te avoid any false construe

tig&tion should now require these letters te
be submitted and compared in order to tee
their accuracy, and recall Mulligan and
Fisher, with the books of the latter, so as
to get a full interpretation of some of the
letters which cannot be well understood
without a key to various transactions. Mr.
Hunton ought not to delay this point of
the inquiry for any reason, but probe the
whole iniquity to the bottom forthwith
and let Blaine stand before the country
such as he really is.
The vacation season is rapidly approach
ing, and in a few more weeks at furtherest,
otir schools and colleges will have closed for
the summer. Their occupants will he seek
ing rest and recreation In the various Helds
of pleasure. Teacher and student alike wilj
banish from their minds the scenes of the
school and class rooms, with their ever buz.
zing recitations. The roll book and time
bell of the preceptors, will give place to
mountain rambles, orsea-shore enjoyment.
and the beauties of Aeneid,together with the
problems of Euclid, with the student, will
give place to the ball^jleld, the swimming
match, or the ever fascinating angler's rod
The girls, too, will find their sphere of en.
.joymeuts In many innocent amusements
which can be found at our summer resorts
In all, however,text, books will be laid aside,
ami their authors, for the time, forgotten.
Whether commencment exercises of
public schools should be encouraged was a
question gravely argued by some of the
prominent members of the School Board at
its recent meeting. While we admit there
might be opposition raised to such demon
strations, we cannot but take the ground
that they should be encouraged in every
possible way, inasmuch as there are many
of our citizens who either have not orcaunol
spare the time to make stated visits among
the public schools, but who would willingly
spare one evening to witness the exer
cises of a graduating class. They would
thereby get a much better conception of the
of the advancement of the cause of educa
tion, and learn in two hours what they
would not ascertain by a week's visit to the
schools.
I
A Novel Eawsuit.
I From the London Daily Telegraph,May .71.1
A curious case came up in the second
division of tbe Quarter Sessions in Edinburgh
to day on appeal from the Lord Ordinary
(Lord Craigliill). A gentleman of means,
named Gardner, residing near Melrose,
brought, an action for tbe purpose of having
a young woman named Mary Gardner pro
hibited from calling him her father. From
the evidence it appeared tlint Gardner, while
courting tbe lady who afterwards became bis
wife, discovered that she was enceinte; not
withstanding this lie married her, and a
week or two afterward she gaveblrlhto a
child, tbe defender in the case. The fact
was kept a secret, and Mr. Gardner denies
that be is the father of the child, though till
the present trial he made no public avowal
to this effect. The Lord Ordinary found for
the pursuer, but the second division have
now reversed the decision, holding that. Mr.
Gardner by marrying the lady, knowing her
condition, took upon liimself tlic burden of
being her reputed father, and that lie is not,
now, after twenty years' silence, entitled to
$1
deny the paternity.

From a paragraph published In the Pall
Mall Gazette. It appears that some of the
poor in England are solving the cheap ten
ement question by occupying old railway
carriages and dwellings, some of them even
letting seat* in these vehicles to lodgers.
The matter was brought Into prominence
by a complaint entered against, a widow by
a sanitary surgeon (or overcrowding licr
dwelling. This dwelling was an old railway
carriage, in which the woman lived with
her three children and a lodger. It was
proved that they were all in perfect health,
but the cou.it ordered the woman to dismiss
her lodger. She complained that it. would
be very hard, uh llie lodger had helped her
bring up licr children since her husband
died, lull the court, however, was inexora

The London Timet say a, that a mall
steamer recently brought to Bombay a
number of cases Invoiced as containing ag

cion was excited at tho custom house, and
the cases were seized and examined, and
they were found to be lllled with munitions
of war. The same custom house lately de
tected another extensive fraud—namely,
that native dealers have been in tho habit
of procuring brandy bottles bearing well
known trade marks,filling them with country
liquor, and shipping them to California and
Madras as genuine goods.
An almost increditahle story comes from
Mazeppa, Minn. A boy, named Fairchild,

father for a misdemeanor at school. When
his father was notified that the body had
been found, he went to the spot, gazed at

went near it afterwards, and the body was
buried by tbe neighbors. The next day he
carried a grist of grain to mill, came back
by the burying ground just as the body was
being interred, stopped and looked u mo

An attempt lias been made at Devonport
to sink tbe British ironclad Caledonia,

of the boys had been stopped for the mis
conduct of some among them, and there was
in consequence, much discontent Early
one morning water was found to be coming
into the ship rapidly and the signals for as
sistance were made. There were several
feet of water in the bold, and after tbe
pumps had been at work vigorously for some
time, it was discovered that a valve made It
impossible that it could have been acciden
tal. This was stopped and the ship pumped
dry. A court of inquiry is to be held.

Dyspepsia is tbe most perplexing of all
human ailments. Itssyiiiptnnis are almost
infinite in Ibeir variety, and 1.1 te forlorn
