ANOTHER LIE NAILED.-A few days since
the indianapolis Sentinel started a sensational
story involving the Hon. James G. Blaine in
a disreputable transaction with the Union
Pacific railroad in 1871. 1t turns out that
the same story has been whispered about
Washington circles for some time past. II
is to the effect that a draft was paid for Mr..
Blaiue's benefit by Messrs. Morton, Bliss &
Co., Of New York, and was afterwards taken
up by +. II. Rollins treasurer of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company. The Sentinei
states that the amount of the draft was six
ty-four thousand dollars, and that an entry,
under date of December lG, 1871, appears
in the minutes of the executive committee
of the board of directors of the road, show
ing that the money found its way 10 the
hands Of Mr. Blaine. The secret purports
to come from j. C. Harrison, prominent
banker of indianapolis. 1t is said that Mr.
Harrison refuses TO say more about the affair
than that he will tell all he knows about ii
If he is brought before Congressional com
i"'teoo' Ni' hi"lllo nlcSeS 'hV atoly ny
pointblank denial. Morton, Bliss & Co.,
and Mr.. Rollins have written TO Mr.. Blaine,
making the most positive refutation of the
charges. The statements Of both these par
ties are clear, explicit and apparently un-
answerable. The indianapolis Journal has
looked up the matter in that city, and pro-
nounces the whole story sheer fabrication
from beginning to end. The charges are SO
specific, that there would seem to be no diff.
fculty in exposing this conspiracy to blacken
the fair fame Of the ex-Speaker.

Mills STATEMENT-We publish else
where the statement made by Miles, the
Barre bank burglar, 10 correspondents of the
New York Herald and Boston journal. lie
has since supplemented his statement by
writing letter to j. Proctor Keith, chair
man of the Congressional committee now in
vestigating General Babcock in Washington,
asking 10 be permitted 10 go thither and tes-
tify in the case. We haven't the slightest
doubt that Miles finds confinement in Wind
sor irksome, aud would welcome anything
having a tendency to vary its monotony.
Various little afidayits however, to which
Miles name was attached, aud which were
used on his trial here, contained statements
of such palpable perjury as would render us
very careful about accepting his evidence in
any matter involving the property or good
name of any one. II has generally been un-
derstood that Miles was connected with the
Washington safe burglary, though whether
in the manner he narrates, or some other, is
what no one can discover, unless he takes
this statement to be true-and, we confess,
we have scruples about that. The story
would have been rather more exciting il
Miles had brought the President in " guilty; =
and under the circumstances, we are rather
surprised that he didn't. lie knows his own
business best, however, and doubtless had
good reasons for the omission. 1t should
be added that Gen. Babcock denies the
story OF Miles in every particular, but then
Babcock's denials do not carry as much con
yiction rs they used TO.

SPANS INDRBTEDNEss.--The London
Times has published a statement of the pub
lie debt of Spain, procured from official
sources, which is an extraordinary docu.
ment. The grand total is three billion five
hundred million dollars, or almost the same
as the debt Of Great Britain. The interest
on this, at three per cent, is about one hun
dred million dollars, while the total revenue
Of the kingdom, even in good years, does not
reach ninety million dollars. All talk of
paying the interest is therefore idle, and the
financial question now is, how much must
be repudiated ? The most the creditors can
hope for is thrty-three per cent, and they
will be glad if they can get three per cent.
even ON this. There is not much likelihood,
of any definitive financial settlement. The
new monarchy will probably have TO devote
its attention TO the task Of raising more
money by loan. That such governments
find persons willing to lend is one Of the
marvels of our time, but the fact seems to
be that the promise Of an exorbitant rate Of
interest always draws a certain amount from
some quarter or other.

SrEcIE REsUMPTIoN-Th bill relating
to silver change has passed the Senate with
some amendments, The Reagan proposition,
making silver trade dollars a legal tender in
a single payment OF fifty dollars, was stricken
out. The amendments of the Senate com
mittee, providing for the coinage of silver
dollars of the old pattern, were to be also
laid aside, TO be considered hereafter as
separate proposition. As the bill stands, it
is simply measure to substitute silver for
rpresent fractionalcurrency, relieved from
the legal tender provisions which vitiated it
as it first passed the House. The Senate
having made this change, the House will
now probably concur.

EUROPEAN MArTERs,-The European ma
tions are becoming more and more concerned
over the Turkish question. The " sick man
is getting worse all the time, and the rene
dies hitherto suggested seem to afford nc
hope of relief. II is semi-ofiicially an.
nounced at st. Petersburg that the great
powers are all at sea on the subject. Eng.
land and Russia distrust each other, while
Russia and Austria are without any plan OF
agreement. Germany has not definitely an
nounced its policy, though it has given out
that il will leave the initiative in Turkish
affairs to Russia and Austria. There is eyi.
IDENTIFY no love lost between Germany and
Russia and it is possible that affairs may
take such turn as TO provoke a conflict be-
tween the two countries. 1t is also an
nounced ON good authority that foreign in
tervention in Turkey viii meet with Russia's
energetic opposition if directed against
Sclayes and their requests. Russia wants
peace. But as it has assumed protector
ship Of the Turkish Christians, it cannot
abandon it. Austria, therefore, steps To the
rear and Russia takes the front in dealing
with the perplexing question.
