| manner.
The following is a copy of letter writ
ten by Mr.. Blaine to friend in Michigan
touching the story made public by the In
dianap0lis Sentinel:
WASHINGTON, March 90, 1876.
My Dear Fsiend-Yours received. beg
You will not be disturbed by Washington
rumors respecting myself. Tho story Of
my having ever received money or any
railroad Company, or any Of its officers or
agents, is not only false but absurd
there is not the remotest foundation for il
| and can scarcely conceive that anv one
would be credulOus enough to believe it,
It has been circulating in Washington for
some weeks past in an indefinite irreepon-
sible and intangible way. Whenever it
it will receive . conclusive answer. In The
meantime trust you will hold peacefu
mind; shall never be injured by stories of
j. G. BLAINE.
The Purman Case.
The Civil Service Committee continued
| the Purman case.
B. =. Livingston and Henry Crews. of
FLORIDA, swore that Purman obtained for
tnem omces OF timber agents; told them
that they would get Sal per month And have
nothing to do; neither of them had evsr
performed any duty as timber agents. nor
knew where the timber was received thar
drafts from the Navy Department did mot
pay Purman directly or indirectly for the
appointment; supposed he gave them Offices
because they we're active Republicans.
Mr.. Martip, warden of the Ponitentiary,
testified he knew all the timber agents in
Florida. None of them knew whore the
reservation was; did not know of any off,
cial or other man in Florida who ever maid
Purman any bribes.
The postmaster testified that Purman ra-
celved nineteen registered letters from diff
terent points in Florida, the past wear.
Knew nothing about the contents.
