EX-SPEAKER BLAINE, while attend
ing church with his wife in Washing
ton Sunday, was taken suddenly i'll,
and was taken to his residence, where
for q time his life wss despaired of. The
news Of his dangerous illness caused
much anxiety, both in Washir gson and
in Cincinnati. The latest advices from
Washington indicate his rapid conva-
lescence. His physician attributes the
attack 10 extraordinary mental exercise
and anxiety, growing out of the inves-
tigstion going on before the sub judici-
ary committee. In Cincinnati there was
some expression Of opinion that it was
a ruse on the part Of Mr.. Blaine Ia order
to manufacture sympathy in his behalf
before the convention.

One day last week one of the colOred
members of the House Of Representa-
tivcs charged the Chief Justice with
having stolen railroad, crossties and
all. The public in this State ale too
well acquainted with the story of
Chief Justice Ludeling's connection
with the North Louisiana and Texas
Railroad ring to treat this charge
with Indifference. The fact that the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
has also declared that Ludeling. in
bis relations to this road, is q swindler,
strengthens the charge Of Murrell
against the Chief Justice, and we
think the House should inquire into
the propriety of impeacbing Ludeling
on the authority Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States, il not upon the
observation of Murrell.-Nec Orleans
