WAsHiNGroN, April 2S.-1t seems to bo
the general otinion here among impartial men
Of both political parties that Mr. Blaine made a
serious mistake when he determined not to ask
for an Investigation Of the transaction by which
tGi.00O was taken from the treasury OF the Union
Pacific Railroad, in the purchase OF Sij,OlO OF
the bonds of the Little Rock aud Fort Smith
Railroad Company. The very reason he gave
for not asking for such an inquiry Will probably
In the end prove most unfortunate for him. The
House will unquestiOnably order such an nves-
tigation, aud 1t will just certainly be pro-
tr,cted inquiry. Therefore II was Of vital
Importance to Mr. Bl line th4t he should
have mad 1t hcgun at IA early n
date IA possible. And even If the House does
not order such AN Investigation into this partic-
ular transaction II is bound to be reached In an
indirect way, for the Judiciary Committee was
Instructed months Ego to inquire generally into
the conduct of the Union l,chc Railroad Com
pany and to report whrthcr II had been guilty
OF anything which worked "A forfeiture Of rs

aud a sub committee h : saicadN been appointed
to- take this whole subject into considefattun,
