At last it looks little as if some Of the
mud thrown at Mr. Blaine might stick. There
is nethng in the testimony of the witness
Muligan calculated to produce much effect,
excepting in the matter of the private letters.
These Mr.. Blaine must in some way promptly
explain. 1t was natural enough that he should
object to Mulhgan's use of them and should de-
mand possession. They clearly belonged either to
the man to whom they were sent or to the
man who wrote them. Mulligan had no right
to them, and it is equally clear that no man is
wiling to have his private correspondence
with friends stolen and its publication by
his enemies threatened. But the public, in
this case, will not consider these technical
points. Some explanation about the letters
is Indispensable, or it will be believed
that they conceal something which
will not bear the light. Manifestly
Mulligan and his kind are being put forward
in the desperation of gigantic political strug-
gle, by men who hope to keep the hated rival
from clutching the prize. 1t is fast becoming
the ordeal by fire. All the same, Blaine must
bear it or go down.

The recent Investigations of Congressional Sub
Committee in session at tho Astor House have brought
into print the name Of Il. G.. Jayne, and although
less repulsyc reminder might be preferred it is
name which suggests some comforting reflections.
ID is only four years ago since Mr.. Jayne test-
fying at the Astor House before another Congress
sional Committee. Mr.. Jayne was not a subdued or
roticent witness then. He was "loquacious
~ vernal bird" Suddenly enriched by
his legalized extortons fresh from closet
interviews with elegant Senator, the
foremost representative of the moiety system with
its organized Tutfanism, he had all the upstart
swaggor and bravado engendered by newly-acqnired
wealth and social recognition and official power.
tie told the Committee with much circumstance and
satisfaction how he had bribed clerks and book
keepers TO betray tho secrets Of their employers, and
how he used to fondle his handcuis to stimulate the
recollections of captive witness. He never
throw away, he said with gee stray
front which bit his hook while he was fishing for
bullheads, illustrating by this little parable his
practice of seizng the books and papers of a firm
under some trivial pretext, and searching them for
tine clew 10 q paying prosecution. He evidently
considered tho merchants of this port his egiti
mate prey, and alluded to them contemptuousy ~
the "brood of importers" And all this
was only four years ago. and Alr.
Jayne was in good and regular standing
with the managers of Gen. Grants campaign, and
was buying up private letters, and rendering other
valuable political service to - the party" That Mr.
Jayne is dropped by Conkling Latin & Co. is
not because tho CustOm-house is more yirtuous or
Mr. Jayne less useful, but because the public senti-
ment which has made third term of Gen. Grant
impossible, has also driven into dark corners and
devious ways tho practices which were pointed to

All the railroad bonds issued by townships in Mis-

million dollars, probably reduced to worthless
ness by recent decision Of the United States Su-

bonds given by Mount Pleasant Township Bates
County. No., as a subscription to the Lexington,
Lake and Gulf Railroad; but the decision applies
apparently to all the township railroad bonds
issued under the act of the Missouri Legis-
lature of 1868. The Court pronounces the act un-
constitutional, in providing that townships might
issue bonds if two-thrds of the votes cast by cit-
at an election approved the performance. The
State Constitution of three years previous absO-
lutely forbids the Legislature to authorize any
county, CITY, town, to lend its credit to any cor
porato enterprise unless two-thrds Of tho qualified
voters at election assent Between two-thirds of
the qualified voters and two-thrds OF those who

The sagacity of the London police in the
conspiracy case was confirmed yesterday by
the conviction of both Ellen Since, who was
charged with intending to commit suicide, and
William X. Vance, who offered to provide her
with poison that would defy subsequent de-
lection. An unclaimed letter from Vance to
Since, opened at the poSt-office, WAS the only
clew which the police had to this singular
affair. Their skill in unraveling the mystery
might be wisely emulated in this city, where
the list of undiscovered criminals is long.

The European Powers appear to be astounded
at the fall of Abdul Aziz. They expected that
the Berlin scheme was about to be submitted
to tie same sovereign that dscreetly accepted

ganized' state of his Government, a pretext for
delay in settling the Bosnian revolt which the

Sir Alexander Gait is dissatisfied with the
state of Canada. He says the tonnage of the
Dominion has decreased since 1867; that dur
ing the last four years the imports have ex-
ceeded the exports by $140,000,O00, and that
under the Confederation the public debt has
increased $53, 100000. He does not favor
Protection but he would place specific duties
on articles from this country in return for our
illiberal policy. This impracticable scheme is
not likely to be tried. The Canadians are not
yet willing to tax themselves to annoy US.
