last week. in regard to the Belknap
matter, Mr.. Blaine ran against Col.
Lamar, snd the Republican champion
was sa(0 discounted by the great
Aississippian. Blaine is justly re-
Gar1ed a. the leader of the minori-

met with nothing but triumphs in
his forensic BEETLES, and he was
NO less surprised than chagrined at
his signal defeat on this occasion.
The Philadelphia Telegraph, pub
lished in the city of Mr.. Blaine's
former residence, says:
Mr.. Blaine is q good speaker
and manager. but apparently he is
not much of lawyer. He attempt.

that even his enemies cannot but

The Senate yesterday found the
