These dispatches demonstrate 8 con-
spirscy to present certain statements to
the judiciary committee prior to the
Cincinnati convention. Caldwell re.
Ceived his instructions on May 3lst, at
eight O'Clock. Ga the morning of the
next day Knott had dispatch
BxoNERATING BLAINE.
With the history, ss related above, Mr..
Knott proposes to make another speech
TO the house, in which he hopes to come
cut more than second best. Meanwhile
it is not yet determined whether Robin
son and Scott will be summoned to ex.
plain their connection with the con
spiracy or not.
A Times reporter called on Mr.. Blaine
this evening to get from him his ex-
plantations Of these dispatches. In an
swer to inquiries, Mr.. Blaine produced q
letter from Josiah Caldwell, dated Lon
don, June Stb, which he received by
mail this morning, and which is else
where published, and asked that the
pOstmark sand other evidences Of its
genuiDeness be critically examined. The
envelope and papers Were
UNMIsTAKABLY ENGLISH.
The envelope was plainly postmarked
London, June 9Th, and the English
stamps were properly placed and can
celed after being placed on the envelope.
The heading Of the letter, 115 Cannon
street, London, wss printed one at the
head of the letter, and bore evidence
that the letter YVES written, and regular
ly mailed and addre' I'd in London,
England. Mr.. Blaine says he
HAS NO THEORY
in regard to the dispatches. He did not
doubt their genuineness, but could only
say that he knew nothing about them.
In relation to the dispatches of May
Y1st, signed Philadelphia, be said he had
hera in the handwriting of Josiah Cald-
well the adaptation OF that telegram as
his own language, coupled with the
statement that he was willing to make
oatn to its truthiulness, and asked,
even il the party giving the evidence
and anxious to have it corrObOrated had
30 telegraphed how could that invslidate
Caldwell's testimony? He could not !
see in spy case how Mr.. Knott was eX-
cusable in suppressirg g the dispatch re-
ceived from Caldwell. 1t should have
been given to the public at once for what
it was worth. Mr.. Blaine had nothing
further to say in relation to the dis
patches. He knew nothing whatever
about them and had evidence cOrrObO-
rating the genuineness OF Caldwell's
dispatch to Knott. He thought this all
sufficient. MIR. Blaine seemed In
A VERY PLEASANT FRAME OF MIND,
notwithstanding his continued annoy
ances. He came himself to the door in
answer to the card Of The Times repre-
sentative, and conducted him through
the parloT TO bis pleasant little Office in
the rear. He spoke afterward of his
health, an inquiry being made, saying
he felt very weak this evening and hsd
some fears about bis head. He said he
WAS suffering greatly from nervous de-
preston, something he never before had
felt. He said for six weeks before the
attack he had no appetite, was scarcely
atle to eat anything, and said that the
vast quantity of correspondence that be-
came necessary on account of the can
vsss was excessive and very burden
some.
