MIR. HIalne's Statement.

THE $64, 1000 BOND sToRY-AN EXPLANATION
IN THE HOUSE YESTERDAY.
In the House, yesterday, Mr.. Blaine made
statement in relation to the charge of his
having received $4,000 from the Pacific
Railroad for worthless Arkansas railroad
bonds. In concluding he presented the
following
SUMMARY OF HIS sTATEMKNTs.
First-That the story of my receiving
$64, 600 or any other sum of money or any
thing of value from the United Pacific Rail-
road Company, directly or indirectly, or in
any form whatever, is absolutely disproved
by the most conclusive testimony.
Second-That no bond of mlne was ever
sold to the Atlantic and Pacific or the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railroad companies,
and that not single dollar OF money from
either of these companies ever went to my
profit or benefit.
Tbird-That instead of receiving bonds
of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Read as
a gratuity, l never had one except at the
regular market price. and that instead Of
making large fortune of that company /
have incurred severe pecuniary loss from
my investment in its securities, which l
still retain.
NIB, BLAINEs REPLY TO HIS AcCUsERs-rHE
EFFECT CREATED BY HIS SPEECH.
Special Dispatch to the Meio J. ork Herald.
WASHINGTON, April 25-A considerable
audience gathered in the House to-day
drawn by rumor that Mr.. Blaine would
reply to the charges which have recently
been brought against him in the newspa-
psrs. His remarks took up about twenty
minutes, and were listened to by both sides
of tie House with evident interest. When
he closed there was some applause and con-
Versstisn, the latter showing that he i'm
pressed not only the republicans but the
democrats favorably, as having made a
frank and entirely satisfactory refutation
Of what has been said.

the bulk head are two ebony cabinets, or
namented with gold, with thick plate glass
doors and beveled. One of these cabinets
is for library purposes, and is stored with
books, while in the other is an array Of
edlbles sufficient to tempt the appetite of
an Emperor. Over these cabinets are
arched mirrors, delicetely ornamented, and
with beveled edge, giving fine irradescent
effect. Along eide these mirrors and re-
fected by them are silver wall chandeliers
containing wax candles. On one cabinet
rests glass water pitcher and goblets, and
ON the other little easel containing pho
tograph of the Emperor and his daughter,
the Princess Isabel, present regent. Cur
tains of green figured rep are hung at the
windows. The side Innings Of this apart
ment are of blister maple. Above the
doors between the compartments, instead
of the usual scroll work, are silver plates,
bearing on one side the names Of the build
ers and on the other the contractors for the
car, both in Portuguese. and these plates
are relieved on either side by birds of Bra
lillian plulnage which stand as if ready to
descend.
The Car has been built with view to
meet all requirements of taste, and there
is something in It's construction which can
not fail to reach all.

GALL EXTENDED TO REV. j. HOWARD NIXON
D. D.-HIs ANTEOEDENTH.

CALL EXTENDED To REV. ]. HOWARD NIXON,
D. D.-HIs ANTECEDENTs.
A largely attended congregational meet
ing of the Central Presbyterian church was
held, last evening, and was presided over
by Rev. J. M. P. Otis, OF the West church.
The object of the meeting was to consider
the filling OF the vacant pastorate, and an
unanimous call was rendered Rev. j. How
ard Nixon, d. d President of the Female
College at st. Charles, NO., synodical in
stitution. The call was SO entirely unani-
nous that the usual ballot was dispensed
with, and it adopted by acclamation.
DR.. Nixon is native of Brldgeton, N. j.,
and brother of Judge Nixon, of the Su-
preme Court of that State. He was gradu-
ated at Princeton College. For six years
past he has not been actively engaged in
che ministry, having boen compelled to re-
tire because of throat affection, but he is
now entirely recovered from it. His last
charge was fat Indianapolis, where he ac-
complished good work and left in the full
love and esteem Of his membership. Mr..
Nixon feels that he is not fully performing
the work to which he was ordained, and is
anxious to re-enter the active ministry, al
though to do so will be at a pecuniary sac
ri6ce. Several churches have extended him
calls, and the Central people feel that they
will be quite fortunate if they shall obtain
him.
The action of the meeting. last evening,
was telegraphed Mr.. Nixon at once. If he
accepts, ne will probably enter upon his du-
ties about the 1st of June.

CcNFERENcE OF LEADERS IN THE BRIsroW
MovEMENT-sEVERE CRITICISM OF oTAER
CANDIDATES.
Special Dispatch 10 the Nep York Times.
Boston, April 24.-To-day an important
conference of the leaders of the Bristow
movement was held, here, when un-
compromising support was pledged to the
Secretary of the Treasury. There was an
outspoken discussion of candidates, Blaine
being sharply criticised by one or two gem
tlemen. Several Bristow men, however,
took occasion to disclaim any hostility to
Mr. Blaine, saying that they desired only
the most available man. The new Bristow
Clvb held large meeting, to night. Per-
mancnt headquarters have bsen secured
near the city hall, aid a rally will be- held
Tomorrow evening, when all parties hold
meetings before tho s5Jato Contention.
Some pi%m talk was indulged in, lfr. Bris-
beirg e%loiled M much the better man to
head reform ticket than BlaiDe. ], o.
Ropes presided, and addresses we're made
bv men well known as earnest Republicans,
who declared that they mean 20 Wln suocessa
fer the party and honest government at the
same time. w. A. Hovey, editor or the
transcript, made long speech, pronounc-
ing Mr. Blaine not the man to be supported
by the reformers, aud urging the use of
every possible lDuuence TO secure BilStOW'B
nomination, and, failing that, an indepen-
dent ticket. Ali did not go SO far, how
ever. Blaine's record was generally criti.
cised NJ giving no assurance of
reform government. The President
Mr.. Ropes, said he had received letters
from all over the State asking the forma-
ton of similar clubs, and judging from the
popular sentiment he did not doubt that
the feeling for Bristow here will force dele
gates, willing or unwilling to vote for him
at Cincinnati. The caucuses tonight do
not alter the situation, and the choice re-
mains between Blaine and Brstow. r. Fl.
Dana, Jr, a BrisGow man by popular opin-
ion, has the Endorsement OF many delaga
tions, and there seems now to be no doubt
that he will be sent to Cincinnati at the
head of the delegation. The Blaine men
are very active, and express contidentlslly
their belief in their ability to fix thugs in
the Congressional District Conventions.

one of the quarter poles to fall. Some one
also blew out the light and upset the pea

nuts. The greatest trouble was during the
concert at the close of the evenings per-
formance, when the crowd who had re-
