fishy, and Il then occurred to him that 1t
was scheme concocted on this side OF
the Atlantic to make the Judiciary Com
mittee, and the House itself, the instru.
ment of perpetrating fraud on
the American people. He was con-
WINGED of IT. he said, on hearing
Milligan relate the circumstances of his
famous interview with Blaine, wherein
the latter grovelled in the dust, implor-
ing Milligan not to destroy him, and
where, in the isce Of the pledge TO re-
turn the letters, Blaine cody put them
in his pocket. He submitted that
he had ample grounds for believing
Blaine would not scruple TO be 8 party
TO the concocting of the Caldwell tele-
gram, or anything that would tend to
promote his private or political ends.
Passing on the dispatches sent 10 Cald-
we'll, under what be called his mellitiu.
ous pseudonym of "Fayo," he said that
"Fsvo" was the Italian word Tor honey
comb and considered the name very ap
priate, in consideration of the honey
comb which Mr.. Caldwell! had gathered
through the lnstrumentallty ot his arch
broker, James q. Blaine, and OF his be
ing the gushing receptacle of precious
treasures extracted for him by that active
and disinterested Blaine. Mr.. Caldwell
had adopted the dispatch concocted for
him, but he would just Ms readily adopt
a dispatch requesting him TO SAY that
Blaine stood by and gave directions
when Goo Almighty wheeled the dirt
out of which the world WAS made.
Mr.. Frye replied to Mr.. Knots
speech. He said he did not know when
he was more panied thsn to-day, or when
his feelings had been So wounded AS they
had been to-day. An attempt by hun TO
review the testimony under The TarhoN
resolution, WAS entirely unnecessary, and
the attempt TO review it and pronounce
judgment on 1t by the gentleman from
Kentucky (Knott), when that case had
been postponed until next December, was
without tho slightest justification IN
honor or parliamentary law; that
the testimony, when IT was re-
ported 10 the House, would convince
beyond doubt, every honest, sincere
seeker hllcI truIH, t"os p'''''' "''''
had aught TO do with the S'0,O0 IN
Little Rock and Fort Smith bonds that
were purchased by Scott from Caldwell
and sold a. the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. None but mind filled with
jealousy, filled with malice, filled with
wicked purposes, would dare pronounce
judgement on peer oi hIs on
the floor OF the House on any
such testimony. The truth is that he
did not propose 20 review the testimony ~
reference to the Caldwell dispatch, but
he asserted that il failed To show any
thing Ms TO Blaine inspIr,"s, or sending,
or seeking to have seat, ANY dispatch to
Caldwell. He repeated What he HIM
self and Blaine had again nni again said
to X mott, that he might pursue the IN
vestigation to the very bitter end, and
that at that end he should not find the
Hon. J. q. Blaine, and no mind that waS
and filled by bitterness, malice, and wicked
purposes, would ever dare To assert lt,that
Blame instigated CaIiwelIs clerk,
Reed" to publish those dispatches when
Blaine was on the floor. The gentle-
man from Kentucky had not attempted
to make any attack upon him; hc had
undertaken feeble and unworthy de-
tense against Blaine. The friends oi
Knott had asked him u agree TO report
that should exculps,c him. They said
he desired exculpatIOn because he had
had unfriendly looks and unlriendly crit
icism from his own side Of the
house. lie had learned, gratefully,
TO have confidence in that gentle
man, 10 admire him, and 10 love him,
and he had exculpated him, and said
that he had kept back that telegram in
GOOD faith, but the exhibition of malice
which the gentleman from Kentucky had
dared to make in the absence oi Blaine,
had satisfied him that he hsd not learned
or known that gentleman Knott In Tn"
deep rccesses of his heart; that gentle
man knew that God had struck down
Blaine: that for two ard one.half days he
had never uttered one word; had never
recognized his wife or children;
had never closed his eyes, and yet
he stood up in the House, in the absence
of Blaine, and intimated that I WAS
"A part Of the play, that Blame was n
great and leading character In 1t, and
that he played his part admirably. A
Gentleman who would do thst showed a
malice filling his heart, driving out dis
cretion, driving out justice, driving OUT
affection, driving out sll that Is good,
and pure. and holy, and filling IL entirely
with its own devilish, wicked form. III
il was there to-day in full growth,
in vigorous life, IL was there
when the Caldwell telegram was
received originally; If il Wa there
then, he would say ~ the RepubIicnn
members OF the House that they would
be justified in voting " man that tho
report OF the Judiciary Committee was
no, a righteous, and just, and fair report,
and that it ought " be recommItted to
the committee for amendment.
Mr.. Hunton, n member Of tho Judi.
cisry Committee, referred ~ the remark
made by Mr.. Frye, IN the effect that 40
member Cf the subcommittee had Sus-
pic,on that Blaine bad anything u do
with the Little Rock and Fort smith
bonds.
