A Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Times reiterates the story, with new evi
dence and details, that the removal of Hen
derson, the whiskyring prosecutor IN St
Louis, brought the president and some mem
bers Of his cabinet 10 the very verge of a rup
ture, and that the polite assurance of thor.
ough good feeling then given out was a gross
fabrication. II is also circumstan,ialy de.
clared that the president had fully resolved
10 supersede the civil prosecution of Babcock
oy ms military whitewashing IL achine, and
was only defeated in this by the prompt ac-
ton OF the grand jury. /. is not altogether
strange that the poor man, thus baiiled IN his
efforts at selfprolec,ion, began to inquire if
he had absolutely mo power in this admins

POOR BLAINE.

Three weeks ago Blaine was the mos. con
spicuous candidate in his party for the presi
dency, and good judges were inclined to re
gard him as the best. But when, a week la
ter, he so daringly ana recklessly tore Nor
tons bloody SHIRT out of his hand and def
antly shook It in the aStonished face of the
house, were his prospects improved? Very
few people, north or south, like or care much
abolt jeff Davis. The north hate HIM
as the rcprcscntave aud embodiment OF trca.
son, while the south attribute to his bung'
| ling management a large share Of their Ca.
lamties. But as the Boston -ldceHiser a
leading and earnest republican organ forci,
bly, says:
Mr. Davis is without power or influence
among his own people. lie Is approaching an
age, too, when it will be OF little account to
him, personally, what exceptions may be ia
ken to him in the course of legislation. He
is nothing. The country is everything. 1t
includes Mississippi and Louisiana as well as
Maine and Massachusetts. The union be
tween them is now supposed to be perfect
They are held together by the two bonds of
sentiment and of organic law But the bond
Va ech'ihicHt may Dt cuSIly DiOhcH, anu III
that event the legal bond will be of little val
ne. From his official position during the re-
belllon, Jefferson Davis became historically
its representative. Whatever stigma the gov.
eminent Of the United States puts upon him,
unless 1t is put there for other cause stated
and lawfully proved, would be equally a stig.
ma upon the people who made hlm their ser.
want. That Is not craftsmanship. II is not
patriotism.
Before his .fosro people Of all parties were
inclined to think well Of Blaine. He has dis
appointed them. He has proved himself an
arrant demagogue and trickster. His presl-
dental aspirations are "diShed."

creased passenger facilities between Ottawa
and Streator, has ELECTED from Gen. Super.
lniendent Harris the following response:
CHICAGO, Jan. 90, 1876.
GENTLEMEN-In reply to your communi.
cation of January Goth, to the President and
Board of Directors, beg to say that arrange.
ments will be made for a passenger car TO
run between Streator and Ottawa, on trains
leaving Streator at $3.50 A. NJ and ) 80 p. NJ,
leaving Ottawa at 10 40 4. W. and $50 p. NJ
While there Is but one passenger car on a
train, it is against our rules to allow smok.
ing, if it rs disagreeablc to any passenger,
whether lad es or others No passenger has
any right to annoy fellow passenger bv
smoking.
The passenger business between Streator
ana Ottawa does not seem 10 US large enough
yet to pay The extra expense of running a
tram exclusively for its accommodation. and
THIS, OF course, is the only basis upon which
II Is proper to consider the question.
Yours Truly,
