THE CoNFIsCATED LETTERS.
The entire Judiciary Committee met this
morring at $50 TO decide whether the COM
mittee shall report Mr.. Blaine 10 the House
fer contempt because of his refusing to de-
liver the letters taken IRON Mulligan. The
subject was brought before the committee
By Gen. Hunton. the Chairman of the sub
committee who appealed to the entire COM
mittee for instructions. The report has
gone out the that Blaine's friends in the
committee will oppose the proposition TO
report him for contempt. and that Demo-
Gratis enough will vote with the Republi-
cans to defeat it; but the Republican Gem
mittee men say this mor:ing that they will
not oppose the motion in the Committee.
but will allow the Democrats to take their
own course. The Republicans prefer to
make the contest in the House. The ques-
ton will be raised whether il Is competent
for committee to report q member Of Con-
gress for contempt; whether he is not pro-
tected from such action by his privilege as
member.

Many of these letters have not the remotest

BLAINE DETERMINED.

Mr.. Blaine says thst in no event will he
produce the letters. but that he will in his

he plesses. Ii will be maintained that the
most the House can do is TO censure Mr.
Blaine for obtsining the letters. but that

strong fight against permitting the Sub
Committee TO attempt TO prove the contents

Anything of the contents OF these letters.
gentleman who has read them all sever
al times says that IN no one OF them is
there any mention of the SS5, 600 which
Tom Scott received from the Union Pacific
Railroad. Neither is there a statement,
that Blaine had received $40 900 in Little
Rock bonds from Caldwell in an outside
transactiou,an and e55, 900 from another trans
action, making together the mysterious IS
bonds.
THE SPENCER RIFLE LETTER.
As to the letter, which il seems TO be ad-
mitted refers to the Spencer rifle contract,
it is insisted that this transaction occurred
in 1861 or 1869, two years at least before
he became a member of Congress, and
while he was in the Maine Legislature. and
that. whatever the nature of that transac-
ton. it is therefore one with which Con-
gress has no concern, and over which it
has no jurisdiction.
1t is believed that all of this transaction
can be explained by parties now here with
out sending to Maine. The objection to the
Of the particular letter seems
to be that it might make another investiga-
ton or explanation necessary.
