To the Democracy Of Illinois: The Democratic

vested In 1t by the Democratic State Convention OF
1874 hereby gives notice that there will be held at
Springfield, on Thursday, the 22d day of June, A.
ID. 1876, at ~ O'Clock M, State Convention for the
purpose Of selecting delegates to the National Dem

purpose to save Blaine. retreat behind
the same pretext with a full knowledge
that it was fabricated to deceive the public
Blaine himself, however, has convicted
them of collision with him, for in one Of
the letters to Fisher which he captured
from Mulligan, he urges as a reason for a
more liberal settlement with him, that he
had not the benefit of the $4,000 person
ally, because the money passed out of his
hands in two days to repay the Maine men
to whom he had sold the Little Rock bonds.
Blaine thus contradicts his statement
made deliberately to the house, and his
sworn explanation before the committee
1t is not surprising, therefore, that he
should have resorted to the most desperate
means to get possession of evidence under
his own hand which would have made his
utter ruin inevitable at the same time. He
knew what this correspondence contained,
and he also knew that if spread before the
| country, his name would be hopelessly
blasted.
1t was easy to see, when Blaine objected
so peremptorily to McClures testimony,
in regard 10 Caldwelrs statements to him
about the bonds, and vehemently protest
ed against Curry's more recent testimony,
interposing technical pleas and legal quib-
bles at every turn, that he was guilty of
all that had been charged and did not dare
to confront the bottom facts. Conscious
innocence does not act in that way 1t
seeks instead Of Sinking inquiry 1t
demands the most exhaustive search to 81
lence SANDER.
The witness Robinson, who delivered
the package of bonds to Blaine from
Caldwell, was coached at the latter s
house before he appeared as witness, and
was made to forget his own recent declara-
tons before various persons, that the par
eel IN question did contain $4,000 OF
bonds. When Mulligan and Fisher reach,
ed Washington last Tuesday, Blaine was
at the hotel to meet them, and after Multi
gan then refused to visit his house in order
to be untrammeled before the committee
he sent for him three times that
night without success, and went over the
whole case with Fisher, who had weak
accepted his invitation.
One of the most daring outrages on 6
witness under examination was the forci
bic carrying off of the letters held by Null
ligan. and the failure to return them after
, pledging his honor as gentleman" t.
hand them back. He had read those let
tiers twice by Mulligan's consent, and ther
determined on this treacherous plan to OBJ
tain possession of them in order to defea
, the investigation.
IF there was nothing else to settl,
: Blaines guilt in the public estimation, an,
to consign him to infamy. the circumstance
connected with this theft would be sufic
cient 1t was the achievement Of sneal
4 thief, which entities him to recognition
in that fraternity,--N T. Sun.

Blaine's Disgrace.

Schuyler Colfax went out Of public life on
the Sd Of March, 1873, with the brand of
corruption and perjury stamped upon his
brow. His way was to affect superior
morality, to lecture before the Young
Mems Oh ristian Associations, to ingratiate
himself with the Odd Fellows and kindred
societies, and in this way to gain the con-
fdence of the public the better to pract
Use his rascalities. For long time he was
u successful fraud, but the Credit Mobilicr
investigation exposed his true character,
and finished career which was a sham
from its start.
James 1t. Blaine succeeded Colfax as
speaker, and will soon follow him into
exile and disgrace. He did not pretend to
be Christian politician or to put on the
robes Of piety. On the contrary, he set
up to be man of the world, pandered to
social desires, cultivated the weakness of
human nature, Knocked at every form of
religion, and sought to be recognized as a
liberal and even generous fellow. BY
these and others arts he won certain pop.
ularity and utilized it for his personal
profit
1t is now certain, and will be established
by the most conclusive proofs, that ever
tally during his speakership, he has been
little else than a professional broker, a
jobDer in legislation, and beneficiary OF
the great lobby schemes. He had an in
terest in all the valuable railroad grants,
and while prating patriotism was levying
large toll on gun contracts, by which the
government was blackmailed in the hour
of its greatest distress. For that felony,
as the law describes it, he may be sent to
the peniteDtiary.
The Little Rock and Fort Smith job is
now pretty well understood by the coun.
try, in spite of mass of perversion and
fabrication. Stripped of all disguise, the
real fact is that the $64 200 obtained from
he Union Pacific went to reimburse parties
tn Maine to whom Blaine had sold s 80, OOC
iworth of Little Rock bonds. Instead O.
going directly into his pocket to stay there
TINS money was transferred to his friends
who were pressing him to refund the pur
chases they had made on fraudulent rem

An Attack on Liberal Republicans and
Independents.


The Chicago Post and Mail of the
9TH, Grant. Conkling paper, thinks Senator
Conklng is the man for the Republicans
to nominate, and snarls at Schurz, the
Liberal Republicans and Independents, as
follows
At meeting of the Independents the
other night, Mr. Jussen, u brother-in law
of Carl SchurZ, speaking in beh If Of Mr..
Schurz aud his friends, said he felt au
thorized to say for them that they would
support Mr.. Bristow if nominated at Gin
cinnati, or aRUChere else" So that is the
kind of Republicans we have bowling for
reform. Does that mean, if Mr. Bristow
should not be nominated at Cincinnatl-anG
the Post and Mail cannot see even the
ghost of u chance for that event to hap
pen-that these gentlemen will make AT
effort to secure his nomination at st. Louis
or, falling in that, will nominate him as al
Independent third party candidate? II
Mr.. Brlstow shall not be the choice of the
Republicans of the nation in convention
assembled, and Gov. Tiden is nominated
at St. Louis, some at least OF these meT
have declared their intention to vote fol
the latter; but they are evidently planning
to capture the st. Louis convention, anC
make Bristow the standardbearer of the
united opposition to Republican principles
1t is more than doubtful, however, if the
Democracy will allow themselves to bt

parties that when men we're defeated il

the will of the majority aud supported the
nominees, but under the immaculate purity
of the reform movement under Bristov
and Blufe Wilson, the old-timed notion,

How Burglars and Thieves are Served
IN Arkansas

A correspondent of the Alton Ills
Telegraph tells how they do things in
Arkansas:
A terrible affair occurred here a short
time since. Three men concluded TO make
a midnight raid ON a neighbor's smoke
house, which was of logs; they succeeded
in getting pry under it, and lifting it
sufficient for a man to crawl in. One was
sitting on the end of the lever one had
gone in, and one was about half way, when
the owner discovered them. He got his
rifle, killed the man on one end of the pry,
which let down the house on the one
crawling in, which killed him; then loaded
his gun, went out and shot the one in the
smoke-house through crack.
