Colonel Forney Against Bristow

PHILADELPHIA, April 23.-This Quaker
City has recovered it's usual serenity since
the departure of those two distinguished
missionaries, Samuel Bowles and Murat
Halstead.
These gentlemen are travelling at their
own expense, and doing their level best to
set up the Presidential pins. No two men
have ever made greater sacrifice for an
ungrateful Republic. They have even
abandoned Charles Francis Adams, in order
to show how far they are capable of going
in great crisis.
The objective point of Bowlee and Hal
stead was to gain the illustrious Forney
over to the support of Bristow. They came,
they saw, but they did not conquer. Forney
would not see with their bright eyes. Hs
would not hear with their quick ears. He
would not speak with their smooth tongues.
On the contrary, quite the reverse. After
they had spoken with wonderful eloquence
of the bad condition of the civil service.
Forney did not respond cheerfully at all.
In fact, he was rather gloomy, and told
these eminent reformers that he knew Bris-
tow very well, and perhaps too well. Bris-
tow, he said, had been located for long
time in Philadelphia as sort of solicitor
for the Texas Pacific, with large salary
under the management of Col. Tom. Scott
He found him dull, heavy man, obstinate
as mule, with thick skull. into which II
was necessary to bore hole before pouring
in new idea. After Hartranft, he thought
Bristow the very worst candidate who
could be put up, and therefore he woulG
not be counted in. Such was the ultimatun
of Forney.
The two pilgrims became sad ct this
They picked up their staffs, shook the dus
off their shoes, and left the Centennia
City without any increased regard 70
Forney. Meantime Bristow stock has no
risen here in Philadelphia outside fe,

titled that he authorized the payment to
John L. Davenport, of New York, of Ger
tain sums Of money to defray the expenses

suited with the President before paying the
money. He considered the Committee to
allow him time to consider what reply he
would make to that question, and be was
allowed till tomorrow morning.
General Belknap has written letter to a
friend denying in positive terms that he

A Picture Of MRS. BeeehoR.
From the Hartford Times.]


Hsying occasion to be on Board the Ackla-
waha boat to-day, ! noticed pale, elderly
lady, with very light hair, who kept her
self aloof from the exeursionists; and Dy
accident I learned that 1t was the wife OF
Henry Ward Beecher. She was going up
the river twenty-six miles to settlement
on the St. Johns called Beecher, in honor
Of her famous husband. She came mp to
Palataka on Saturday-possibly from the
residence Of Mrs. Stowe, at Mandarin;
thought wouldn't like to vouch for this
for "the Beechers are peculiar"
This member of the family is said to have
her own peculisrities. She is an old woman
now-pessibly not less than O-( for she fe
considerably older than her husband and
her aspect Is that of woman who suffers
from an inward pain that reaches deeper
than the physical body. Some observers,
seeing her sitting there alone on the steam
er, might say she was born down by grief
and trouble-and surely she has had her
share; but there was something in that pale,
determined face which spoke of more than
grief t-yII
A bystander said, "She looks like three
whole tragedies boiled down into one act;
and this did better express that unhappy
face. A strange, secret, inner history is
hidden in It's cold marble. It is not a wiu-
ming face-pot the countenance one would
expect to see in the wife of Henry Ward
Beecher. What it does express will leave
to, others to make out. Enough for me to
know that she carries, poor woman, sight
of trouble beyond the miseries Of most of
those who deserve punishment
She hid her face at the time with her
hand-not from staring curiosity, for she
knew not that she was at that moment the
object Of scrutiny on the part Of strangers
but seemingly by q sort of Involuntary and
helpless movement born of some Internal
struggle. It. was 1 stern. unhappy, un-
comfortable face, and I was almost sorry
to have seen it.

WASHINGTON, April A.-Mr. Blaine to-
DAY, In the House, made long personal
explanation In regard to the stories circu-
lated as to bis alleged fraudulent trans
actions in connection with the Little Rock
and Fort Smith Railroad bonds. He read
full and complete deDials from &. H
Rollins, treasurer of the Union Pacific Road
and Morton, Bliss Il Co., Of New York, the
persons by whom it was alleged that the
allegations could bc proved, that ne hao
directly or indirectly received any money OF
bonds from the Union Pacific Road. He
also read letters from Thomas Scott and
Moses Dillon, containing full and compre-
hensive contradictions of the story.
In concluding his speech, Mr.. Blaine
said briefly sun1morize what have pre-
sented. ..' - -
Is First, that the story of my receiving
$64, 1000, or any other sum OF money OF
other thing Of value from the Union Pscific
Railroad Co., directly OF. indirecAly or In any
form, is absolutely disproved by the most
conclusive testimony. o' 4g-H "2 -
Second-That no bond of mine was ever
sold tothe Atlantic & Pacific, or the. Mis-
souri,, Kanzas q Texas Railroad Cos, and
that not . single dollar of money from
either of these Companies ever went to my
profit or benefit.
Third That instead Of receiving bonds
ofthe Little Rock and Fort Smith Roads
as gratuity, never had one, except at
at the regular market price, and that In
stead of making large fortune out OF that
Company, have incurred severe pecu-
nisry loss from my Investment in its SO,
curities which still retain, and out Of such
affairs as this, grows the popular gossip OF
large fortunes amassed in Congres. l can
hardly expect Mr.: Speaker, that any senti-
ment from me will stop the work Of those
who have industriously circulated these
calumnies. For months past the effort has
been energetically continuous to spread
these stories in private circles. Emissaries
of slander have visited the editorial rooms
of the leading Republican papers from Bos-
ton to Omaha and whispered of revelations
to come that we're too terrible even to he
spoken in loud tones, and at last the reve-
latiOns have been made. / am now, Mr..
Speaker, in the fourteenth year of q not in
active service in this hall; have taken and
have given blows;I have no doubt said
many things in the heat of debate which
would now gladly recall; have no doubt
given votes which in fuller light / would
gladly change, but / have never done any
thing in my public career for which I could
be put to the fair test blush in any presence
or for which cannot answer to my constit
uents, my conscience, and the Grea
Searcher of hearts.

DON CARLOS I'm AMERICA.
A Que or Story from Baltimore
BY American Press Association.


BALTIMORE April pa rumor was cur
rent on Saturday that Don Carlos, of Spain,
had arrived in Baltimore, on the steamer
Hibernian, which reached here from Liver
pool, and there was considerable curiosity
manifested by many persons as to the
whereabouts of the leader of the Carlists.
On inquiry, yesterday, it was learned from
officers of the steamer, now at Locust
Point, that among her passengers from
Liverpool to Halifax were four persons who
had attracted considerable attention during
the voyage. Two gave their names as Fox,
the other as Legrande.
Shortly after leaving Liverpool gentle
man named Terrell, who, it is said, knew
Don Carlos we'll, became very intimate
with the party, anb acted as interpreter
for them, they speaking French and Span
ish. After the party left the steamer at
Halifax, Mr.. Terrell continued on the yes
sci to Baltimore. He then stated that one
of the gentlemen, representing himself as
Mr.. Fox, was certainly Don Carlos, and
the others General Jelasko, the Marquis
Dumonserratt and the Marquis Duponsu-
lout, all of whom had served under Don
Carlos during the Spanish was, the two last
named as Marshals having charge Of the
cavalry and artillery OF the Carlist forces
and had been with THEFT chief all through
the campaign.
Mr.. Tertell informed some Of the officer
of the Hibernian that Don Carlos and hi
friends intended making a tour of the
United states, and that, he (Mr. Terrell)
was to meet them to-day at st. Louis. Mr.
Terrell left Baltimore for that city on Sat
urday. He stated that he was pledged Il
secrecy as to where his friends were, ant
could not divulge the names until after they
left the steamer at Halifax. He was pre-
sented with several souvenirs of the voy-
age, and seemed very anxious to regain thu
party.
He also said that Don Carlor changed BIZ
name at every place he visited, desiring tt
remain unknown, and that when he reached
St. Louis he would assume Mexican nam'
and title. His impression was that afte
travelling through this country Don Carlo
would return to Spain, aud was anxlon
that his movements should be kept secret
The last cable despatch rs to his where
abouts, it will be remembered, Represented
that he had crossed through France an'
was in England. One of the officers Of tn
Hibernianis firmly convinced, from por
traits he had seen, that Don Carlos wa
certainly one of these passengers.
