Blaine's Triumph
Monday last witnessed remarkable scene
in the Congress of the United States. For sew
eral months past, the Democratic investigating
committees have been directing all their power,
legitimate and illegitimate, to the destruction
of the political future of Hon. James G. Blaine.
They have raked over the legislation of Con-
gress for the past Is years, to find something
that could damage him-they have listened to
all the manufactured ISLANDERS that his personal
enemies could concoct-they have greedily
seized upon anything and everything that might
be contorted to his injury, and all in vain. Ee
has triumphantly met and overcome all, and
to-day stands before the American people the
worse prosecuted and most triumphantly vim
dicatcd public man that the Vaccinations of
malice ever essayed to encompass.
The Baltimore American's Washington cor
respondent of the 9th, gives the following &C.
