THE BLAINE SCANDAL.
General Tom Ewing Endorses the Inno-
cence OF the Speaker-The Charges
Utterly without Foundation.

COLUMBUS, OnlO, Oct. lO, 1877,
The Ohio state Journa, tomorrow morning will
publish correspondence between Hon. James G.
Blaine and General Thomas Ewing, in reference
TO charges recently made by the New York Tribune
concerning an alleged contract made with
Speaker Blaine by ,nera Ewing and Colonel J. c.
stone for nearly two millions OF stock in the
Leavenworth Pawnee and Western Railroad Com.
pany, afterwards merged into the Union Pacific
Railway, Eastern Division. General Ewng's letter
in reply to Speaker Blaine Is very full and explicit
on the subject He says:-"The charge OF corruption
in Office made against Mr.. Blaine is disproved by
public records, accessible to ALL which show that
Mr.. Blaine did not enter Congress for nearly u
year and hair after the law referred to was
passed. General Ewing closes as folows:-"My
general knowledge OF the business Of the company
and especially my intimacy with you, make 1t cer-
tain that you could not have had any contract with
the company without my knowing the fact, and
unhestatlngly declare that you were not in any
manner, nor at any time directly or indirectly cni
Interested in It or It's affairs as stock
holder or otherwise, in any capacity whatever.
Your brother, j. 4. Blaine. at that time Clerk OF the
District Court at Leavenworth and one OF the early
settlers OF Kansas was owner OF $4,000 OF stock
In the Leavenworth, Pawnec and Western Railroad
Company, which, indeed, was held very generally
among influential men OF all parties along the line
OF the road in Kansas; but that was in 1851 or
even nominated for your first term In Congress.
Beyond that there never was at any time,
the rcmOteSb interest IN tne company nelu
by any member OF your family. The entry
OF s1,e2o00o OF stock opposite the name
OF Blaine was therefore wholly fiction.
or blunder, and the grave imputations on your
character and on that OF the officers and agents Of
the company are utterly groundless and without
shadow of justification. am informed that Gen.
eral stone Is now In Europe. lie will doubtless
take occasion, when he learns OF these charges to
speak for himself about them. SO TAR as my
knowledge OF the afairs OF the company goes
deliberately assert that 1t never by any OF Its off,
GERS, agents or attorneys, made any contract the
proceeds OF which there was reason to believe
were TO be In any manner participated In by any
member OF Congress or other public ofiicer.-

The Dean Richmond Disaster.

The Dean Richmond Disaster.
The report OF the Inspectors IN the case OF the
Dean Richmond has been undergoing an examina-
tion ut the Treasury Department to-day by Secre-
tary Boutwell,. 1t is short and refers mainly to
testimony bearing upon the defective condition oil
the boiler at the time OF the accident. 1t Is stated
that the accident the westneld's boiler was ex-
cusable compared with what Is shown by the EVIL
dcnce In this investigation. The report shows that
the hydrostatic test required by law was faithfully
performed in October 1871, and sign OF weakness
discovered The law does not limit the test to once
year, but says it shall be done once at least In
every year. No blame, therefore, attaches to the
owners Of the boat as the Inspector was bound to
take into consideration the age OF the boiler when
inspected last. 1t is understood that Secretary Bout
well will order that hereafter boilers over five years
old shall be thoroughly tested several times during
the years thereafter they are in use.
Official Copy OF the Geneva Award
Received.
The Secretary OF State to-day received by special
messenger an official copy ofthe decision and award

closed in neat wooden case, highly polished. The
secretary OF State presented 1t TO President Grant
this morning, and 1t was afterwards taken to the
department to be deposited in the archives.
