BLAINE IN THE WRONG CHARACTEE.-The
New York Tribune thus sketches BLAINE as
he is in the "'ERcLEs vein" on the floor of
tho House:
"But right into the midst of this serious
constitutional discussion came Mr. Blaine,
brsndishlng cudgels and roaring hard
names. What had made him mad, we
should like to know. He beloved insult
and dtti4nce in that bold and violent man.
ner which be has apparently adopted under
the impression that it indicates vigorous
mind. He stood in the centre Of crowd,
and exploded denunciationS, and swung the
lash OF inyec:ve until he had converted the
House of Representatives into a bowling
mob. He dared the d. m ,crats to with
hold the committees testimony from the
grand jury. lie hurled at them al accusa-
ton whose assurance staggers belief, Of
combining 10 block the wheels of justice
that Belknap might escape. He bore down
demonstrates by strength of lungs, until
after two hours of excitement Mr.. Lamar
succeeded in beating him and restoring
quiet"
Very true picture OF the actor playing q
part be is utterly untitled for, and in which
his failure is already signal and nationally
notorious. Mr.. BLAINE formerly preserved
very civil reputation, and when he was
rapidly rising in the scale as a promising
candidate for the Republican nomination the
people of the South even regarded him with
that sort of interest which is felt by the sub
jected in probable ruler who has the repu.
tston of civil heart and fair disposition
But he has rudely crushed all their gentle
sentiments, and made them all feel that
sooner than have BLAINE for President they
will submit to GRANT for a third term. That
is our heartfelt sentiment. .....
And why is this? Why should not u
prominent public man like BLAINE be con-
tented with civil reputation? Why should
he mar il He made great mistake. He
thought that it was necessary that he should
let on q vindictiVe and relentless disposition
to head off MORTON. He remembered THAD
STEVENS and bis power over the House and

A Closing Word on the Texas Pacific

A Closing Word on the Texas Pacific
The postponment OF all propositions rea-
tive to Pacific railways by Congress takes
away In a measure from the intepss in the
Immediate discussion Of the subject. What
the House OF Delegates Of Virginia may do
with the matter we could not conjecture,
and, indeed, think Of no great importance.
We cannot consider a decision of so great
question upon mere personal issue as
decision entitled 10 weight.
For ourselves, we have disregarded alto
gether the personal issue, and shall continue
to do so. We have regretted that barnace
such as that could attach itself, so TO speak,
to Such magnificent vessel as she fioated
through the sea of public opinion. We know
not Tow ScoTr, nor TOM CAT, nor any sort
OF erimalkin in this matter. We say that
the Southern Pacific railway is the greatest
project for the South that has ever been con.
ceived. 1t promises more benefit, more
power, and prosperity, and happiness to the
South than any otherevene now dreamed Of.
We mourn the fact that the bright minds of
our rising statesmen should be diverted from
the discussion of the grand promises Of this
highway, its probable effects upon our do
mestic economy, its probable control of the
currents Of population, its certain develop.
mcnt of the wealth of areas richer than any
ye! explored, and it's powerful influence in
balancing the sectional power and harmonic
ipg the geographical divisions of this
Union-we repeat we deplore the fact that
the rising inlelec,s Of this State have been
diverted from these great themes to the mi.
eroscopic prejudices and personalities that
have been engendered in this State. lttends
to the dwarfng Of intellect and the Narrow
Ing OF the views Of craftsmanship.
VIVA, 10 the. name of reason and practical
good sense can be found in the wild asser-
tons about the scheme being northern, and
that there is in every foot of the projected
way d thief that is TO steal away all the trans
porta'ion that is intended for the South and
carry i; 10 the imaginary caves Of giants and
monsters that cannot live in land Of COM
mcrce, we know not We wonder that O
man can live 10 believe such fables.
We canno; imagine more southern rail-
road than the line Of the Texas Pacific in its
proposed charter, unless it be road that is
exclusively southern, with an Introduction
of all branches to the North, and differed
exclusively by southern people. Now, if
there is man at the South who believes
that a nurthern man would vote for suchssa
railway, or vote cent to help it, he would
better take up his residence at once in the
insane asylum. We go further We say
that if there is man in the South
who believes that one dollar would be
haz irded in such a road by any capitalist,
not word of common sense nor practical
idea could be ever again expected from him.
lie would be, SO far as usefulness in this
worlds affiirs is concerned, dead man.
That is bat we have to say.

The Federal city has been pufneg

magnificence and amplitude of dfapeFy mas
engendered a sort OF rivalry among the pei

has perplexed the wits aud fertile intellects
of that part of society to acquire the means
to maintain. 1t Is not wonderful tnat the
ladies of the house OF BELKNAr should have
canrassed we'll the resources, official and
otherwise, of the Secretary Of War; and they
could not have overlooked such important
points as the trading posts on the frontier

ChicapO and Turkey.

Chicago has recently got the credit 1or
originating an institution the object Of which
is the furthering of justice, or removing it,
if possible, further from the earth. This
institution is a company whose business it
will be to provide witnesses and jurors
ready for perjury in all our large cities. A
contempora remark, that this invention
would be worthy of one of the masters of
fiction, and DUMAS is suggested as one whose
genius night be equal to such a task.
1t is not hard to see that such Justice as
this supposed to De arranged in Chicago for
the benefit Of mankind would inevitably
lead to schemes for its counteraction. If
such scheme for fraud could succeed wit
nesses could be perjured for one side as well
as another.
We have before us volume that gives an
account OF justice In Turkey, which shows
that this reputed invention in Chcsgo is not
only not new, but that the antidoJe for it has
been applied. The circumstance, as related
upon the authority Of the French Ambasss-
dor, is as follows:
4 manufacturer Of CarcaSohe, in France,
sold a large bill OF cloths manufactured for
the Turkish market to an Armenian in Con-
stantinople. taking bis obligation for the
same. When application was made for pay.
ment the Armenian refused TO, Pay, asserting
that he had paid the money ,anI could prove
the fact. The disappointed French manu-
fac,urer appealed to the French Ambassador,
who, unable to relieve him from his diih
cultr, referred him to one OF his interpreters
or dragomans, who instructed the manufac-
turer to cite the Armenian before the judge.
Before that dignltary the Turk claimed
that the money had been paid, and
proved ii by two witnesses, who swore to
all the circumstances down to the place and
hour where and when the payment was
made. "You see," said the Judge, this
man owes you nothing" The claimant, in
despair, was about to surrender, when the
dragoman came forward, and on mis- bebal:
admitted that all that had been shown in
evidence was true, but claimed that " 10 one
"hour afterwards we returned the money to
IS this Armenian for his accommodation at
the Time; and to prove thls acre are our
witnesses" In fact, two individuals then
stepped forward and testified to the truth Of
this last assertion, which the dishonest Turk
not being able to rebut, be was immediately
condemned to satisfy the claim.
1t is amusing to see how the suggested
strategy 10 Chicago resembles this. But we
are incredulous not only about this, but much
else that has been said about this remark
able city. We don't believe this story, be-
cause the Chicagoans are too smart not to
know that there are plenty of false swear.
ers in all the great cities, and that any pains
or expense she might incur to. provide liars
for them would be SO much done for no..
thing. There is a plenty Of vice outside Of
Chicago. esE = - n.~
