who kept small grocery in the village and

OF the sleep ing man, and heavily loaded with
powder and siugs. A fuse was attached to this
internal machine, which, by its slow eombus-
Ton, gave the murdeTeTs ample opportunity to
make good their escape. The effects OF the ex-
Iloslon may be easily imagined. Mr.. Alling-

A Case Of Brothers.


General Thomas Ewing, Jr., who was Of coun-
eel in the Pacific Railroad Eastern Division busi-
ness, writes letter to show that the Blaine
OF Maine +" enumerated among the men with
but his brother, John E. Blaine. This confirms
the statement Of Mr. Stewart. an attorney in the
pending litig.tionB, whose letter we published
some days ago z; and We have to say, very frank
1y, that, in view Of General Ewing's character
and position, it seems to an entirely satisfac-
pleasure, therefore, in withdrawing, in the
promptest and fullest manner, the imputations
upon Speaker Blaine, in consequence OF his sup
posed personal connection with this business !;
aud ia stating that the evidence seems con-
elusive that it is not lie, but his brother, who is
meant in the list by the entry fs Blaine Of
Maine" We derived our positive information
from the certified List, still in our possession,
from lawyers in the case, and from suitorB, who
spoke positively Of Speaker Blaine as the man.
And now wo think it time that Judge johnson,
one Of the parties to the litigation, to come to
the front.
. We do not enter upon tue questions raised as
to the propriety Of the transactions detniled in
the list. Some OF them are described in the
document itself as ' b1ackmail;" about others
there is the significant direction, s' cut to the
past, look to the future" Perhaps these arc
~ right but that is one of the exact points in
litigation, and General Ewing is, or
Las l;as b9en' lnt Of counsel counsel on . one one
excu1pation of Speaker Blaine. And that We
desire to add, does not, in tho leest, extend to
the equally damaging imputations put upon him
by 0nEes Ames aud Colonel M'Comb. He has
not met these, and hig comparative silence un-
der them, compared with the hot haste to !" ad-
vertise" the others, affords strong ground for
suspecting that he makes a noise over those he
can answer to divert attention from those he
cannot answer.

Gratis, seeing that they could hopo for nothing in
their own party, s:eold out''~ Cameron and
Company had the money. and we're ready to pay
any price. On the other hand, the Ring had some
cf the Democrats who have always been most
active in elections entirely in their power. I
have been told to-day that Leach, the Chair
man Of tho Democratic City Committee, was
q member Of the Whlskey Ring, and that
the statement which Mara has made, contains
serious charges against him. This statement
was used to force him to the support Of Har-
which he would mot have United States District
Attorney Swope to defend him. Other leading
Democrats, also implicated, were ordered to
'skeep quiet, and their Lieutenants bought over
to the support Of the Ring. Grant men impli-
Gated by this same statement Of Mara's wero
protected by the United States Government
through it's representative, Swope, who defends
Mara in return for the affidavit. Thus Grants
Administration takes a criminal and extorts from
both parties For that paper the United
States District Attorney comes from Pittsburgh
to Philadelphia to defend the criminal, holds it
IN terroreHs over the heads Of tho Democrats
whose names are on it, threatening prosecution
il they dare to oppose the Ring, and threatens
Mara with the penitentiary if be allows q word
about the Grant Republicans who aided and
abetted him in crime and who were candidates
for Office, to escape his lips. 4 more shameful
history Was mover written. Finally, there was
false counting such as vas never known before
arate majorities we're returned after the votes
had been counted, the Ring being unable to de-
termine at what figure to place it. What is to
be done about III That question CEN only be
answered after the smoke Of the battle has more
nearly cleared away.
