the mail Of this morning, letter iIom Josiah
Caldwell, of which the following ls true copy.
1t authenticates the cabiegrams received by the
Judiciary Committee:
No. rs Cannon st. London,
f. c., June Sth, 1876. )
Hon. j. G.. BLAINE
Dear Sr-I read in the New York paper of the
10Th ultimate, Col SCOTS evidence before the Ju
dietary committee, and l at once cabled him as
follows
Thomas A. Scott, Philadelphia -
Your statement before the congressional COM
mittce. on the 10TH relative to the Fort Smith X.
K. bonds, which you purchased of me is perfectly
coirec.. can fully substantiate it If nece3-
sary.
have also cabled the chairman of the judiciary
committee as follows:
Have just read in New York papers, SCOTS evil
dence about our bond transactions, and can fully
corroborate it, l never gave Blaine any Fort
Smith Railway bonds directly or otherwise. l
have three foreign railway contracts upon my
hands, which makes it impossible for me to leave
without great pecunary loss or would gladly vol
unfairly come home, and so testify. Can make af-
fdavt to this effect and mail if desired
am sorry that | am not able to go personally
before the committee, and give my testimony, but
presume that Colonel SCOTS evidence will be
sufficient to prove that you had nothing to do with
the transaction in question. If you wish for any
further testimony atiidavts from me to prove
the facts as cabled to the committee, shall be
glad to forward it under oath. The charges are so
void of foundation that have no fear of their do
ing you any permanent injury, and hope that
your prosecutors will be able to show as clear q
record yours in connection with the Little Rock
& Fort Smith Railway.
Yours faithfully
(Signed) JOSIAH CALDWELL.
