THEODORE THOMAS.-Every available

at Lincoln hall last night. The last OF Mr..
Thomas concerts seems always the best,
and the sklllfully arranged programmes
claim the most respectful attention of the
uncultlvated as well as the more advanced
hearers. Beethoven, Wagner, and LisZt are
gradually supplanting less classical COM
posers, and the keen appreciation displayed
by the audience last evening shows that we
are Keeping pace with the igher cultivation.
An audience that demands a repetition OF
Wagner'S deep music Is, al least, to be COIL
graduated upon It's advancement. The sec

The eliminating Letters.

There is n general belief, which is con-
frmed by the statement OF Mr.. MULLIoAN
in Boston, that BLAINE suppressed and
altered portions of the letters which he
read to the House. A careful examination
OF them shows that they have been tam
pered with, and 1t is not at all unlikely
that substitutions have been made since
they were seized and appropriated by
BLAINE. A man who Is capable of acting
rs he did in regard TO these letters, after
pledging his honor TO return them to Null
LIoAS, is equal to any other deception.
Various circumstances warrant the
strongest suspicion in this respect. The
memorandum Of MULLIoAN which ac-
companied the letters. defines their order
both by dates and by numbers, and de-
scribes each consecutlvely with q synopsis
of the contents. There are several which
relate to tue same subject, and therefore
ought to be classified and read together,
for perfect understanding of their con-
tents.
In reading these letters, BLAINE broke
all the connections purposelv, scattered
the dates promiscuously, and confused the
subjects, SO that the general or careless
reader might not discover the fraud, or see
the successive stages OF his venality, before
and after entering Congress. An honest
man who had nothing to fear and who
meant to defy the sternest investigation,
would have taken MULLIGAN's memoran-
DUN and given the letters by his numbers
and by the regular dates.
The practice OF the House of Represen-
tatves is, when a member himself reads
papers TO hand them over to the ofhcial
reporters, in order that the exact contents
may appear in the Congressional Record.
In tn IS case there was no verihcation what
ever. BLAINE retained possession OF the
letters ali through and passed them over TO
his own clerk as they were read. So that in
point OF fact, the official report gives only
BLAINE's version OF the letters as taken
down by the stenographers, without any
comparison having been made with the
originals.
1t is discovered that in one of the most
important letters, dated October 4, 1871,
wherein BLAINE refers TO his services on
the last night OF the session in behalf Of
the Little Rock job IA most suspicious
omission has boen made between the copy
sent out by the Associated Press and that
printed in the Congressional Record. That
alteration could only have been made by
BLAINE's authority, as the proof slips were
furnished al midnight TO the press ageut
by the Government Printer. The motive
of 1t is transparent.
In the memorandum OF MULLIoAN il the
following item:
"Hos Oct "A, n FISHER 10 BLAINE urging set
ueuent OF y, r. Il. account, 10000
When that was read BLAINE said, "There
is no such letter in the package. The let
ter he speaks Of seems to have been
a letter from Mr.. FISHER to myself.
There was no such letter In the package"
Now, that letter was in the regular nu-
merical order, and was, doubtless, in the
package when BLAINE seized II by force
and carried Ii OF. He doubtless destroyed
IL, for the letter furnished evidence OF q
demand made by FIsnGR for the repayment
! OF $4,000, which BLAINE had received from
