Speaker Blaine and the Credit Mobi.

The only reference to Speaker Blaine, in the
report Of Judge Poland's special committee,
Submitted to the House of Representatives yes
terday, is the following summary of the testi-
mony in reference to the charges against him:
Among those who have in the public press
been charged with improper participation I'm
credit mobiler stock is the present Speaker,
Mr.. Blaine, who moved the resolution For this
investigation. The committee have, therefore,
taken evidence in regard to him. They find
from it that Mr. Ames had conversation with
Mr.. Blaine in regard to taking ten shares of the
stock, and recommended it as a good invest
ment. Upon consideration, Mr.. Blaine con-
chuded not to take the stock, and never did
take IL, and never paid or received anything on
account of it, and Mr.. Blaine never had any
interest direct or indirect in the credit mobiler
stock, or stock of the Union Pacific railroad
company"
1t win be seen that this is complete exon
Grafton of the Speaker, so that the comments of
the committee on the action of those members
OF the House who did take the stock of the
credit mobiler or Union Pacific railroad, does
not apply to him in any manner whatever.

What is the reason the Alexandria papers do
not reach here by mail until twenty-four hours
after they are issued? The New York evening

after their issue; the evening papers of our
