Mulligan says that, after his first day .
testimony, Blaine sent for him and Fisher;
that Fisher went, but that be (MulliganJ
refused to go; that Blaine then came to
him and begged in the most pitiful terms
for the letters in bis possession, saying
that he was ruined man if he did not get
them, almost going upon his knees in grief
and despair, and even threatening suicide
that he permitted Blaine to read the
letters in the presence of Fisher and
Atkins; that Blaine subsequently sought
him out alone, asked to look at the letters
again, and then retained them and refused
to give them up.
Mulligans statement yesterday morning
relative TO the Blaine letters which he had
In his possession and the manner il which
these were taken from him after he had
appeared before the committee the day
before, is a most remarkable contribution
to the case. In the absence of anything
except a general denial on the part Of
Blaine and pal ticularly 80 long as Blaine
insists upon withholding these letters from
the committee and the public, the truth Of
Mulligan's story cannot be reasonably
questioned; and, if true, of course i
makes Blaine as presidential candidate
an impossibility. The circum
stances under which he obtained them
and the determination to withhold them
warrant the very worst construction tina
can be put upon the charges brough
against MIR. Blaine, and nothing which b,
can say will be able to prevent such re

Symptoms of Diseased LIVER.
DAM in the right side, under the edge
1 of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the ftside; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with a painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought 10 have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
| have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensiyely deranged-

The Radical Convention and Hendsr
From the Bureau County Tri5an,

From the Bureau County Tribune.
The late Republican county convention
passed resolution highly lauding Gen.
Henderson's course in congress. We have
watched Gen. Henderson's record pretty
close, and we confess ourselves at loss to
name any one action of his in congress
which should have elected the gratitude of
the radicals OF this county, unless it is his
unyarying habit of recording his vote
against any measure looking to a reduc-
ton Of the appropriations from the Re-
publican standards. Ii is true he has
committed one act which should especially
endear him to the radicals, but the
knowledge of this act had not at that time
vention.
The associated press dispatches, report
Gen. Henderson as having recorded bis
protest against the action Of the house in
turning the congressional printer thief,
Clapp, over to the grand jury and the
courts for indictment, conviction and
punishment The books of Clapp's de-
partment convict him of having committed
enormous frauds upon the government
aud to have stolen immense sums Of
money, yet the radicals of the house were
frantic with grief at the thought of turning
him over to the court for conviction and
incarceration in the penitentiary like a
common thief For Hendersou's effort to
prevent the punishment Of this thief, he
will, undoubtedly, receive the profound
gratitude of every radical in this county
or in his district

MIR. Blaine.

The latest evidence taken by the con-
gressiOnal committee engaged in investi-
eating the charges against Mr.. Blaine is
of character to place his own political
friends in the most embarrassing position.
The warmest feeling for Mr.. Blaine per
sonally, and the fullest appreciation of his
ability and popularity, cannot blind any
one to the fact that he has been ire
trievably put on the defensive, ana that
any campaign made for his succession to
the Office Of chief magistrate will neces-
sarily boa campaign Of denials, explana-
tons, and excuses. 1t is useless TO close
our eyes to this fact, or TO another, viz. !:
That public sentiment just now is IN
charitable to all public men who are &C
cused or placed under suspicion. Mr.
Blaine map be, as we still hope he is, Ell
tirely innocent Of every dishonOrable trans
action in public and private life; but it is
his misfortune to have been engaged in
certain speculative, railroad, business
transactions, and 10 have had certain bust
ness associations that have presented him
70 the public as a Spectator in watered
railroad stocks. at the very best, and there
is vide impression that this was net be-
coming in him while speaker in the house
OF representatives Mr.. Blaine may be
able 20 remove all reasonable doubt of his
personal integrity. but he will scarcely
succeed, in view Of all that has been said,
in concilltating that popular resentment
which Is now felt toward public men who
are under a suspicion Of Improperly. II
nominated at Cincinnati. the Republican
party, on the stump and through the
newspapers, will be forced to constant ex-
plantations Of certain curious or crooked
stock transactions connected with his name
which are already so numerous and COM
plicated as scarcely to be ineligible. Mr..
Blaine is too experienced and shrewd a
politician to deny that such necessity is
always dangerous and generally fatal.
The ordinary peril Of going before the
people under these circumstances is in.
creased at the present time by the general
predisposition to believe the worst Of every
man and the widespread impotence with
everv manner of political SPECTATORS
IL is by no means conclusive
that Mr.. Blaine acted corruptly, but it i,
strongly suggestive that he acted as a sor
