Another Exploded SANDER.

The New York Times OF the 1st abiding to
the recently developed SANDERS circulated
against Senator Morton, says:
In their general fire all along the line OF possible
Republican nominees for the Presidency, the Demo
Gratis have now got as far as Senator Morton, What
was designed to be destructive train was lighted
by the WORLD on Saturday. The explosion was
premature. TAe fragments thrown into the air do
not resemble the Senator from Indiana. They ap
pear to be the remains of Mr.. Spinger, Of Illinois,
who is credited with the authorship of this tremend
GUS affair. Tie charge is that Mr.. Morton, when
Governor OF Indiana received $25O,OG0 from the U.
S. Treasury, which he misappled. TIE facts are
briefly these: During the early part of the rebellion
the Indiana Legislature had what called "a cop
per-head majority" That majority returned Gov.
Morton's war message-unopened, and attempted to
vest the control Of the State Militia in the hands Of
four officers chosen by the aforesaid "copperhead'
majority. The Republican minority left the Legis-
lature without quorum, and that reasonable trick
thus defeated. The State left, however,
without money to carry on the Government. Every
| body remembers Gov Morton's arduous and patri.
otto services in that crisis He borrowed money to
maintain the State credit and keep Indiana in the
line of battle Secretary Stanton advanced the Gov
ernor 600 from of the appropriations of
Congress- Every dollar of that advance was repaid
and the accounts of the Governor satisfactory
ly adjusted long ago. The less Democrats say about
their shameful record during the late civil the
better for them Their fellow-citizens are willing to
forget the particularly dIsgracefu part which they
played in Indiana during Morton's administration
Representative Springer acquitted the other
day OF having brought lunatic into the proceed
ings of investigating committee. If he is re-
sponsble for this latter incredible political blunder
his party friends will be willing to vote that he has
taken leave of his senses.

Hon. JAMES G. BLAINE, ON Monday last,
took occasion to demolsh another slander.-
The old story about his receiving a package Of
bonds from the Washington attorneys of the
Kansas Pacific Railroad was received
simultaneously with the Union Pacific story
which Mr.. Blaine disposed of last week. Be-
cause he made no reference to the Kansas Pa
cific matter in his former explanation, his enc
raies assumed that he admitted the charge to
be true. He explained this by stating that he
did nos wish to complicate the cases. He
wanted to dispose of each separately and
thoroughly, and hence his silence on this story
when dealing with the other last week. MIR.
Blaine exhibited letters from every person who
who knew anything about the story declaring
it to be absolutely and totally false. Among
the witnesses who testified i'll his behalf was
A. NJ. Gibson. of the New York SIN, who first
telegraphed the story over the country. 1t
was derived from a young man named KnowE-
ton (now deceased) who repeatedly repudia-
ted it in the most emphatic manner. Mr..
Blaine never goes into a defence of himself ull-
til he has his proof at hand. and then i'm the
language of one of his detractors) he knocks
the ISLANDERS completely out of water"
Nothing could be more conclusive than his refu-
tation of the Kansas-Paeiiic bond story.

The statement that Senator Morton had not

affair to the Senate during the coming week,

ofIndana during the early part of the war,
