WASHINGTON, d. c., April Is, 1877,

WASHINGTON, d. c., April Is, 1875
The item of interest this week is the
startling accusation against the immac-
ulate Blaine, who eutered the service
of his country Gas Congressman a
ooor man, and will. IL retired now, as
he NAV he, go out to his home and his
constituency perhaps the wealthiest man
in the State of Maine. 1t would be a
terrible blow if instead of obtaining the
nomination for the Presidency he should
be elected to stay at home hencefortb,
and vet it is not at all unlikely that such
NAV be the case.
The difficulty just now is trifle Of
$4,000, q small matter, it is true, to a
man of Mr.. Bhiue's means, but then
we mas. have the books of the "Union
Pacific Railroad Co." balance and it
seems that they will not balance until
this little sum is accounted for. It is
charged that Mr.. Blaine received s64,
900 from the u. p. Il. II. without hav.
ing rendered any current equivalent
therefor, aud naturally this engenders
a desire upon the part of the public,
which is constantly meddling with the
affairs of honest individuals, to know
all about such an easy way Of making a
fortune.
Mr.. Blaine, who in the innocence of
his soul had already prepared made
to-order refutaiion, comes to the public
relief almost before the charges are pub
lished, and all his friends are rendered
joyful by his complete vindication.-
Now, all this reads very well, indeed it
is almost touching in its 'guilelessness
and simplicity. but, unfortunately, Mr..
Blaine's defence from having been pre-
pared before the charges we're published
does not entirely meet the case, and we,
wholike Grant, have had an abiding faith
in human nature q little shaken, are
still left in the most painful sort Of
doubt about this little transaction. The
substance Of Mr.. Blaine's explanation
IS, that he did not receive the Sl64. 900.
OF course not, but he tells 20 many
strange stories about bis negotiating
the sale of corresponding securities for
. frissd, aud admits that he was the
owner Of certain obligations Of ''Little
Rock & Fort Smith r. r." which bonds
or similar ones seem to have been the
basis OF the negotiation in which the
Aforesaid s640 900 was advanced, sothat

mittee. which yesterday submitted a re-
port to the House, recommending that
the writ be not obeyed. This morning
at the return hour, the House not hav.
ing taken any action upon the request,
the Sergeant-at-arms appeared in Court
without his prisoner and asked. for an
extension of time until Tuesday next,
which was granted. The point involv-
ed in this case Was practically decided
in our Courts in the case of Irwin, who
was brought into Court in obedience to
the writ, and upon a hearing of his case
was remanded to the custody ofthc Ser.
geant-at-Arms. It is to be hoped that
Congress will not refuse to obey this
writ, for there is very little if any dan
ger that the Courts will interfere to re-
lease this prisoner. There is no doubt
but that If he is brought into Court he
will be remanded as Irwin was.
