SPEAKER BLAINE.

The Detroit (Mich.) Tribune. one of the
leading journals of the Northwest, has the fol-
lowing editorial paragraph in a late issue:
Mr.. Blaine has come out unscathed from
the attack upon him made by Representative
Stevenson, of Ohio, in the shape of a resolu-
ton directing the Poland investigating COM
mittee to inquire into the connection of mem.
beS of Congress with the Dubuque & Sioux
City Railroad. He avowed that he had held
stock in the road, and gave complete his
tory of his purchase and sale of that stuck,
which vindicates him completely from all ac-
cusation of improper action. He also brought
out facts which lead to the suspicion that the
action Of Mr.. Stevenson in calling for an in
quiry was personal and malicious, and that
the latter intended, as he expressed it, to
"catch the Speaker" Mr.. Baine's manly
way of facing the charges against him, sta
ting all the facts and demanding the fullest
investigation, has won for him a wide popu-
larity and general and decided confidence
in his integrity. If other members of Con-
gress had been equally frank and explicit
with regard to their connection with the Cred
it Mobilier, they would not be embarra ssed .
as they now are, with accusations which in
volve not only their business transactions,
but their personal veracity and honor"

suddenly stopped, the lungs, liver and stomach

COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

The counting Of the electoral vote for
President and Vice President of the Uai-
ted States will take place to-day in the
House of Representatives at Washington,
In joint session of the House and Senate.
II is probable that no question will be
raised in regard to counting any vote ex-
cept that of Louisiana. From that State
two certificates of electoral votes have
been presented. The disposal of the case
will doubtless depend upon the report of
the Committee which has been investiga-
ting the Presidential election in Louisiana.
1t is said that the report of the Committee
will show that neither set of electors was
legally elected. 1t will give connected
history of the election as gathered from
the testimony taken, throwing light upon

If the statements and rumors which are
circulated in regard to the Kansas Sena-
tors are found after investigation to be
true, the Senate will no doubt summarily
rid itself Of them. To allow them to hold
seats purchased with money, would make
the Senate sharers with them in their
guilt, and be spectacle of corruption that
would be alarming, as well as sickcning
to the public moral sense. The republic
can party will demand that the Senate
deal with these men according to their de-
serts, and keep the character Of its men,
bers above the reproaeh that they owe
their elections to bribery.

In the United States senate, a few days
since, in the debate on the bill for the fur
ther endowment and support OF colleges
ETC., etc, it was noticeable that it-was de-
Tended at every step by the New England
senators, and the objections urged by West
ern Radicals, when put in shape were
voted down. New England has deter-
mined that her control of the country shall
not pass away. Senator Hamilton said
that this bill was tho incipient step to the
exercise of governmental control over
the educational system of the
country, the money being given directl y
to the schools instead of the states. New
Englan d sees in this control the means OF
psrpe!uating her power, and this measure,
which Of course will be passed, will one
day be cited as precedent for the direct
interference of congress in carrying GU. A

land to control indirectly, bu. not the less
po,ently, the education of the youth Of the
