Correspondence between
j. G. Blaine and Thos.
Euing, Jr.

Columbus, O., Oct 10. The State Journal
will publish tomorrow a correspondence be-
tween James G. Blaine and Thos. Euing, Jr,
in reference to recent charges as to the al
legged contract made with Speaker Blaine, by
General Euing and Col. j. C. Stone for nearly
two millions of stock in the Leavenworth,
Pawnee and Western Railroad Company, af-
forwards merged into the Union Prcifc Rail-
road. Gen. Euing closes as follows "My
general knowledge of the business of the
! company, and especially my intimacy with
you, make it certain that you could not have
had any contract with the company without
my knowing the fact, and unhesitatingly de-
clare that you were not in any manner or at
any time, directly or indirectly, employed by
the company, or in any way interested in il
or its affairs, as stakeholder or otherwise, in
| any capacity whatever. Your brother. J. Z.
Blaine, at that time clerk of the District
Court at Leavenworth, and one of the early
settlers OF Kansas, was owner of ten thousand
dollars worth of the stock in the LeavenwUrth,
Pawnee and Western Railroad Company,
which indeed was held very generally among
the influential men of all parties along the
line of the road in Kansas; but that was in
1861 or 1862, and considerable period before
your first term in Congress. Beyond that
there never was, at any time, the remotest in
terest in the company held by any member of
your family. The entry of $l,92O,OOO of
stock opposite the name of Blaine was there
fore wholly a fiction or blnnder, and the
grave imputatons on your character and that
OF the officers and agents of the company ARE
utterly groundless and without a show of JUS
tifcation.
am informed that Gen. Slime is now in
Europe. He will doubtless take occasion,
when he learns of these charges, to speak for
himself about them. So far as my knowledge
of the affairs of the company goes, deliber-
ately assert that it never, by any of its Of
ficers, agents, or attorney, made any contract,
| the proceeds of which there was reason to be-
lieve were to be in any manner participated
| in by any members of Congress or other pub
| lie officers"

The complete remodelling of Judge Rce's
mansion at the corner of State and Chandler
streets in this city, will greatly add to the
comeliness of that slightly locality. The de.
sign of the exterior of the house is neat and
tasteful Not the least worthy of note is the
general improvement of the premises In the
removal of the high aud close board fence,
surrounding the grounds, for which is being
substituted low fence of modern. construc-
ton. These grounds are too pretty to hide
from the view of passers-by. 1t seems to the
present generation selfish trait in the charac-
tiers of the fathers, that they should pen in
their garden. and lawns, SO that only the own
ers may look upon them, shutting out even
the sun of heaven. In the march of improve
ment, we rejoice that these landmarks of sell
fshness are being removed.

The third annual convention of the East
Kennebec Musical Association closed its ses-
sion of four days at China village last Friday
evening. The convention was under the
guidance of Prof. w. w. Davis, assisted by
Prof. 7. p. Rider, pianist, each of Boston.
These sessions have been fully equal to if not
ahead of any previous ones, and have served
to develop musical taste and an enthusiasm
in that community that will be of lasting BEN
eft to it. Prof. Davis, as musical instruct
or and singer, is first-class, and his reputa-
ton in that line will increase with his wider
acquaintance, while Prof Rider at the piano
covered himself with honors. The applause
at the close of some of his brilliant perform.
ances was literally showered upon him. The
piano in use was one of McPhairs $500 in
struments, and it is the universal testimony
of all who listened to it that none better was
ever shown in Maine. TWAS simply perfec-
