Mr.. Bidine's Eradication.

We devote considerable space this week
70 the remarks OF Hon. James q. Blaine.
in The House, privilege having been given
him to make personal explanation. We
publish his remarks almost ienlire. only
emitting a briei history OF the Little Rock
* Fort Smith Railroad. This portion
explained that said road was not affected
by Congressional legislation, but was
purely an Arkansas interest. Hence the
absurdity Of the charge that he received
compensation for influencing legislation
in lis behalf.
Mr.. Blaine's relutaliOn OF these charges
Is the most complete and emphatic which
could be made. Morton. Bliss X Co.,
President Dillon. Col. Thomas A. Scott.
aad Mr.. Blaine. all, and each seyerally
deny that any such transaction as has
bsen alleged ever took place between
them. Ia view OF these denials, il is
impossible TO suspec. or convict Mr..
Blaine without also suspeciing or convict
ing al these other gentlemen OF lal.ehOod
and corruption in their various official
positions. The original charge seems TO
have started from rumor. and has never
been established by direct assertion on &
single point. 10 comparing The charge
with its refutstion DOW offered. every
candid mind must admitthat the prepor-
dersnce of evidence is largely in favor Of
the defendant. Thus be is doubly entitled
