A VERY exciting scene occurred be-
tween Messrs. Blaine and Knott, before
the Judiciary Committee in Washington
on the 9TH, relative to the Caldwell tele-
gram, Mr.. Blaine demanding of Mr..
Knott his reason for not informing the
committee or the public of its reception.
Mr.. Knott explained that he had made in
quiries as to Mr.. Caldwell's whereabouts,
and had been informed that he was in
Italy. When the telegram in question
was received it contained no day
of the month and gave no address
in London, and he was unaware of
the custom of the Gable Company OF
retaining the address at the point from
whence dispatch is sent, and not send
ing it over the cable. He read the dis
patch to four members of the committee,
and believed it to be trick and on that
account had not made it public. Had the
dispatch said Blaine was gullty-he
(Caldwell) had got the bonds for him
it would have been an injustice to MIR.
Blaine to have given it to the
public. Mr.. Blaine here intimated that,
had it been unfavorable to Kim, the dis
patch would have got out pretty soon.
Mr.. Hunton and other members of the
committee confirmed the statements made
by Mr.. Knott. A spirited controversy
took place between Messrs. Blaine and
Knott on the subject of the former having
communicated with Caldwell during his
present sojourn in London, Mr.. Knott
stating that he had no evidence to that
effect, and never pretended to have any.
The following is copy of the telegram
received by Mr.. Knott on the 1st inst,
and which he furnishes for publication:
