purposely made, inseparable from that of the
community that it aims to represent. When
they grow rich it hopes for reward common:

AN INTERESTING DOCUKENT OI
PAPER CREDITS.

The following letter in response TO a
formal official call was written by Mr..
Blaine nearly five years ago. Messrs Tai
bot, Sanborn, and Common, Commissioners
to investigate Paper Credits, addressed Il
letter of inquiry to each of Names Sena-
tors and Representatives Their replies
were not included in the printed report of
the Commissioners, but were simply filed
with the original testimony. We are very
sure that Mr.. Blaine's letter will be read
with all the more interest from the fact
that it was not written for publication. 1t
is peculiarly fortunate that SO valuable a
piece of testimony is on file, and its five
years slumber does not detract from its
interest Wonder if the Democratic pa
pers wouldn't like to copy this letter ?
Here it is.

4 COWdRDLY CRIME AGALASI A"~

The Maine Standard, the Portland Az

each printed and reprinted DR.. Jordan's
sbominablc lies about Gov. Cony and Gen.
Jersey in connection with the Agrieultur-
| al College Scrip. The lies about the liv-
ing can be looked out for bv those afec-
ted We call attention now 10 lies about
the dead.
The editors of these papers know that
these statements OF DR.. Jordan were
shameless libcls upon the honorcd dead,
and they knew ii when they published
them We want to make onr charge
against these papers us specific and di-
rect rs language can express it We ac-
cuse them each and all of having wanton-
ly. reckleSsly and wickcdly printed lies
and lbels about men who are in their
graves and cannot speak.
We brand such conduct as a crime--a
crime against the welfare of society,"
crime that unites cowardice with its wick
edness-a crime that no decent Modoc In
dian would commit. Shame! Shame F!
Shame!, upon the cowardly llbelers of
the Dead.

crui,ng stations were in those States, an the men,

cruiting stations were in those States AMI the men,
careless about giving their residence, were natur-
ally assigned to the State within whose borders
they had enlisted, II was alleged, moreover, that
in some form many credits were obtained without
adding men to the army, and in this way the re-
cruiting service was rendered inefficient and
liable. To remedy this latter evil and generally to
make the system of enrolment and draft more tf-
fective, further legislation deemed necessary
Accordingly an additional act OF enrolment was pro-
posed in January, 1865, and pending its consider
alton l submitted an amendment designed TO
correct the evil of allowing credits in any form
without obtaining the equivalent III men. This
amendment was moved by me in conference with
Secretary Stanton, and it was Incorporated in the
law as proviso to the l4th section. You will find
it in the L. S. Statutes-at- large, chap. 49, page
4S9, ID Session 3Sth Congress, IN these words
"Prorided, That in any call for troops hereafter,
no county, town, township, ward, precinct, OF
election district, shall have credit except for men
actually furnished on said call or the preceding
call by said county, town, township, ward, pre-
cinct, or election district, and mastered into the
military or naval service on the quota thereof"
The discussion and the facts which this PROPOSE
ton elected may prove Of some interest to you 1t
IS 100 lengthy 10 queue vi suuiuaiHc Heit, Jul IL
can be found fully reported in the Congressional
Globe ID Session 3Sth Congrt IS, ID part and ap-
pendix pages 97S, 979, 1854, 1885, 1914, Ills.
How effective this enactment would have proved
in practice can never be fully known, for happily
the war closed few months after its passage. Its
immediate influence, however, was deemed sauta-
ry, and it the opinion of Mr.. Stanton that the
alleged abuses could not be continued and repeated
with this provision of law in force. If Congress
made mistake in inserting the sections to which
have referred in the enrolment act of July 4,
1864, the record shows that prompt effort was
made at the ensuing session to correct that mis-
take. | am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
j. G.. BLAINE.
