Bradford opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1874-1881, 1876-06-10

IT makes a deal of difference
whose OK is gored, don't it? The
New York World speaks of "the
person who on Monday insulted the
whole American people by charging
the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentativcs with selling his name and
honor for a pitiful bribe." Others
as lofty and as pure as Mr.. Kerr
have lately been slandered, but the
World didn't get indignant at the
insult to the whole American PEG
pie. We doubt if the whole Amer
can people feel insulted when a
prominent Democrat happens to be
the victim of tactics so freely en-
ployed by Democrats.

The Senate has refused, by a
vote of 81 to II, to agree to the re
duction of the Presidents salary to
the old figure in the appropriation
bill. 1t is quite right in doing so.
The attempt to cut it down was a
combination of spite against the
Administration and of clap-trap to
give the impression of zeal in the
cause of economy. The salary is
small enough as it is, and consider
ing the burdens and expenses of the
President much smaller than il was
in the days of Washington.

THE DULL SEASON.

1t is not too much to say that the
social state of the city resembles
that of a mining town in the Sier-
ras. The clubs are well nigh desert
ed, and business is-where, nobody
knows. People are going or gone
to the country; they went before
May day, indeed, and the newer
and cheaper the place that receives
them the better. Families are fond
of finding new country places that
nobody in town knows of but them
selves, and the season after they
will he heard pluming themselves
on discovering haunt with all the
advantages a country place was
known to possess. The weather is
delightful in New York, in pity to
those who can't get away. But
folks are not going to theatres, or
to clubs or gatherings as they used
to in the good old war days, which
a few are beginning to look back to,
when, if prices were high, there was
a dollar and half in a mans peck
ct to pay them with.
There is no dollar and a half now
that is within reach of anyone.
There is no buying or selling, there
is nothing doing in property, and
everything is as bad as it can be.
The West is prosperous, but it does
not seem to effect the Eastern cities
at. all. There are many people
in town, going and coming from the
Centennial, but they are not here to
trade. They leave no money in the
city, and the public shOp-keepers
are in dispair. They had hopes of
the Centennial, and now that that
has failed them they feel that the
bottom has dropped out for certain.

The Investigation.

Mulligan is much more brilliant sensa-
tionaist in his way than Harvey, and it is to
be hoped for his own sake, if not for Mr..
Blaine's that he may turn out to have rather
more character. But on the face of 1t common
fairness requires US to say that his tale is
rather highly colored, and that people who,
having been private secretaries, flower out
into public accusers, must not expect to be
received with open arms by honorable men,
however sure they may be of being received
with open mouths by the multitude.-N. p
World.
The very sensational scene in the commit
tee room yesterday win doubtless be actively
discussed, and it would be quite surprising if
it did not have some effect upon the minds of
delegates. Mr.. Mulligan's acquaintance with
stage painters and scene shifters enabled him
to give dramatic effect and theatrical exag-
geration to his story. Apparently in antici-
patton of trouble he fortified himself before
starting for Washington with a package Of
Mr.. Blaine's private letters, which he threat
ened to publish If the story he had to tell
should be contradicted. But this tala is of
no sort of relevancy unless it tends to prove
that both Mr.. Blaine and Thomas Scott were
gnilty of falsenood and perjury in their testi-
mony in regard to the seventy-five Little
Rock bonds. If that could be proved the
consequences would be very grave; If not, II
is rather remarkable case of "chops and to-
mato sauce" We print this morning Mr..
Blaine's full statement in answer to Mr.. Null
lgan. 1t presents quite different version of
the interview between the two from that
given by Mr.. Muligan, and one much more
probable.-BostOn Advertiser.

The New York Tribune's Advice.

Mr.. Blaines enemies have charged that he
wa. carrying the Cincinnati Convention by
the game of brag. They are now endeavoring
to break him down before the Convention by
the same game. 1t will have its effect. But
man so full of resources, and with capacity
for shedding scandal equal to that of any ten
of his enemies for inventing it, is not disposed
of SO easily. He refuses to give up the private
letters which Mullgan had taken. Judge Jer-
ry Black and ex-senator Carpenter sustain him
in it, and certify that these letters have moth
ing to do with the case. He next proposes to
show them to the Chairman of the COMMITTEES
and satisfy him of the game thing. II he does
this, and the testimony should be unmistaka-
BILE on two points, ~ that the letters have moth
ing to do with this case, and (2) that they con-
tain nothing in any way eliminating him In
any case, then every man with wit enough to
write private letter will justify him in resent
ing and resisting the threat to publish them =
Meantime it is to be noticed that absolutely
nothing has been proved to his detriment.
Whatever harm has befallen Mr.. Blaine has
come from his own private interviews with
witnesses who had come on to testify against
him; and from the wrangle for the possession
of a package of his private letters, running
through long series of years, which he found
in the hands Of a man who had no right to
them, and who threatened to publish them If
the papers attacked him. On both points 1t Is
as we'll to wait for both sides of the story.

only thing which injure his reputation in the
public estimation. During the years Mr..
Blaine has resided in Maine he has been con.
stantly assaled and slaudered as all posi-.
tive and conspicuous men have been. Thus
far his most malicious foes have been proved
to be traducers. Two or three times his foes
have announced the possession of 'bottom
facts' in this case, but they were. in time
proved groundless. This fact, and the as
sumption that so sagacious a man as Mr..
Blaine's enemies declare him to be, would
not invite the hostile Investigation which the
ordeal ofa Presidential nomination always
insures, if his foes could confront him with
the proofs of official misconduct. We, there

has long been known asross the border
