UNION OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES UNRE-
PORTED SPEECH.

There are circumstances in the lives of
some men which seem created for the pur-
pose of inspiration, and to afford all oppor-
tunity for the performance Of duty so heroic
and devoted, that it strikes home at once to
the hearts Of all who witness it. Unless this
were so, the distinctive character of an age
could not be developed. For the display Of
the gifts of the orator and the statesman,
there are occasions when their words are
clothed with living fire and the scene, as if
by enchantment, spreads before the gaze OF
a whole people. This is true even in the re-
tirement of private life, when men Of mark
and OF ardent temperament partake OF the
hospitality of friends. In the fight OF years,
when the actors have departed, and the
tongue is silenced forever, persons are apt
to refer to the time gone as the dim past.
But there has always been among the sur
| vivors som one whose busy hand
has made a record, shadowy, perhaps,
like the first outlines of a master, but suffi-
cient to enable the thoughtful to fill in the
colors, and appreciate the picture in all its
glory.
Such a scene is sketched in "Wise's Seven
Decades" and reproduced in Sargent's
"Public Men and Events Sargent s.

the back of her head comfortably against
his waistcoat. When Gabriel had lighted
his pipe at the solitary candle, he gave one
Or two preliminary puffs, then taking his
pipe from his mouth, said gently:
"Olly, it can't be done.n
What can't be done, Gabe ?" queried
the artful Oily, with a swift preconception
of the answer, expanding her little mouth
into q thoughtful smile.
"Thet thing"
"What thing?"
"This yer marryin' O. Mrs. Markle,' said
Gabriel, with an assumption of easy, bust
ness-like indifference.
"Why?"
"She wouldn't hev me-"
"What?" said Oily, facing swiftly
round.
Gabriel evaded his sisters eyes, and
looking in the fire, repeated slowly, but
with great firmness No, not fur-fur-a
gift!"
"She's a mean, stuck up, horrid old
thing! !" said Oily fiercely. I'D just like
to-why thar amt a man az kin compare
with you, Gabe! Like her impudence!"
Gabriel waved bis pipe in the air depre-
catingly, yet with such an evident air of
cheerful resignation, that Oily faced upon
him again suspiciously and asked: "What
did you say?"
"She said," replied Gabe slowly, tibet
her heart-was given-to another. / think
she struck into poetry, and said:
My heart it is another's
And it never can be thine.
Tibet is, I think SO. Idisremember her special
remark, Oily but you know wimen alters

about the thing PANIED out"
"Who was it?" said Oily sullenly.
"She didn't let on who,' said Gabriel I'M
easily. II didn't think it the square thing
to inquire"
"Well? y said Oily.
Gabriel looked down still more embar-
raised, and shifting his position, $ Well?"
he repeated.
What did you say ?" said Oily.
",Then?n
"No, afore. How did you do it, Gabe?"
said Oily, comfortably fixing her chin in her
hands, and looking up into her brothers
face.
ooh, the usual way!" said Gabriel,

) and glittering geleralities Of courtship.
"But how, Gabe, tell me all me about

"Well,' said Gabriel, looking up at the
roof, "wimen is bashful ez a general thing,

Political Notes.

Mr.. Blaine's defense before the house,
yesterday, is his condemnation. II needs
no other evidence than the letters he pre-
senis to convince the people that he is con-
splcuously unfit TO occupy the presidential
chair.-Bost0R Transcript.
Mr.. Blaine is no longer among the pl esi-
Dental possibilities. In the light of recent
developments, his nomination by the re-
publican party would be a suicidal policy.
1t would give the election to the democracy
by an over @helming majority. -Ner Len,
don Telegram.
The misfortunes of Blaine are mainly at
tributed to his operations in land grant rail
roads and wild cat speculations which were
affected by congressional legislation, while
he was speaker of the house. His opera
tons of this sort are proved both by his
own admissions and by his own signature.
There can be no doubt that the chief anx-
iety of Blaine's friends has long been his
evident and unexplained wealth. - Washing-
tan Cor. Troy Times.
However Mr.. Blame may manage to get
out OF this trouble, it is perfect nonsense
to talk now of making him the republican
candidate for president. The party can
not afford to be placed on the defensive,
and go through the campaign explaining,
denying and defending the wildcat rail-
road stock speculations of anybody, Mr..
Blaine is smart enough to see that he
would be disastrouslv beaten and his party
probably ruined. Chicago Tribune.
An army has been known even by q
series of victories to wear itself down, and
go Mr.. Blaine may have come out of the
successive trials trumphantly, 30 far as
regards his personal honor, and yet the re-
publican masses may possibly be found to

not be advisable, under the circumstances,

" republican party of the city" Tuesday
evening. adopted an address, setting forth
that il WAS conceded that the state of New
York was the principal battle ground of
the canvass; that the people desire the con-

being thoroughly distrustful OF the demo-
crazy but that, without certainly that
the republican party will redeem the pied
yea of 1872, foi speedy resumption of

BLAIEE'S LETTERS.

Perhaps if the national house of repre-
sentatives had been called upon, Monday,
to make the republican nomination for
president, James G. Blaine would have
been tue man. 1t must be confessed that
his "aplendid audacity' took the house by
storm, and, momentarily, induced it and
the country to believe that he was much
abused maitland the suppression of the
Caldwell telegram by Proctor Knott does
look very much like abuse. He took,
however, the only course which was left
open to him. II was sink or swim, pro-
duce the letters or die at once, and he con-
cluded to produce the letters, and, by the
aid of his unequalled smartness and tact,
to temporarily turn the tables on his ac-
cusers a.d, instead of dying at once, to
llngeringly live and die by degrees. He
took precisely the course we predicted
Saturday morning, that he would aud
now that the glare and glamour of the per-
Torrance commences to wear off, the eoun.
try are saying as we predicted, that his
whole course in reference to these letters
shows "trifle too much of the dramatic,
" striving 10 create an Impression against
" him, 90 that the yindication may be all
" the more startling, all the more trum-
"phant."
But was the vindicaton, however start.
ling it may have been, triumphant ? Was
In any vindlcation at ALP Let US refer to
one or two points, and sec hew the facts
and letters leave him. Ia the house, April
p, 1875, Mr.. Blaine stated that he never
had any of the stock or bonds Of the Little
Rock and Fort Smith road " except at the
regular market rates. yet it appears
that he did purchase, for one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars, the securities OF
that road, aud Immediately resold the same;
receiving therefor one hundred and thirty
thousand dollars in cash, ard still having
left, of the original purchase, bonds of the
road Of the face value of one hundred and
sixty-two thousand dollars, and of the then
actual cash value, at the " market price, y
OF eghly-one thousand dollars. The
money which he received from the sale of
these securities, according to his letter OF
April Is, 1872, he did not have in his pos
session forty-eight hours.
We have preferred to take this view of
the matter, a view which clears Mr. Blaine
of corrupt practcesas representative in
congress, rather than the darker view
which might BIO taken from the planesi
construction of his letters. Thus be writes,

Tho United STATES circuit court of CALI
fornia. has decided that the civil rights bill
is unconstitutional so far as it assumes to
provide against determinations being made
in admissions to places of amusement on
account OF color. The court holds that
theatres, ID this country, are conducted as
matters OF private business that thei'
proprietors have right to refuse adLnis-
sion TO white men if they please, admitting
one and refusing another; and that there
is nothing in the constitution which places

Rumored Resignation Of Mr.. Bris-

1t is limited that some days ago Secretary
Bristow rendered his resignation to the
president, but that it had not yet been ac-
cepled. The story was supported by the
fact that the influence of the adminisira-
ton outside of his immediate Office WAS at
work to defeat his prospects at Cincinnati
as presidential candidate, and that il has
been carried to such an extent that Mr..
Bristows friends protested against his con-
tinuancc in office under the circumstances.
