PLANTATION.
A Clear and FOrcible VindicatiOn

On Monday Hon. j. G. Blaine an
swered the charges made against him
which sought to connect him with dis
honest transactions with the Union
Pacific and other railroads. We have
not room here to give his able, une
quivocal and convincing speech in full
but content ourselves with stating the
main points.
He states most emphatically that the
story of his receiving S64, 900, or any
other sum of money, or any other thing
of value from the Union Pacific Rail
road Company, directly or indirectly
or in any form, is disproved by mos
conclusive testimony. He then read &
letter from Thos. A. Scott, denying thai
Mr.. Blaine had ever had any transac
,tion with the road involving money ol
values of any kind. Another Letter
from Morton, Bliss & Co., produced
more explicit than the first one. Mr.
Blaine gave detailed history of The
Little Rock & Fort Smith railroad en-
terprise and how their bonds came in
to the market. He says that he like
many New Englanders bought some o.
these bonds and that he lost twenty
thousand dollars by the investment
Mr.. Sidney Dillon, now President Of
the Union Pacific, is clear and specific
in his statements, corroborating the
statements of Scott and Morton, Bills:
d Co.
Mr.. Blaine concluded his quite
]enghthy address, as follows:
: Let me now. Mr.. Speaker, briefly
summarize what | have presented.
First-That the story of my receiving
S64, 900, or any other sum Of money OF
other thing of value, from the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, directly or
indirectly, or in any form, is absolutely
disproved by the most conclusive testi-
Inony. Second-That no bond of mine
was ever sold to the Atlantic d Pacific,
or the Missouri, Kansas K Texas Rail

pears to attend Democratic clerks.
SSince the Preparation of the big steal
under the guise of the River and Har-
Dor appropriation bill, the House has
been taking matters quite easy-divi-
ding up its time between appropria-
ton bills, Hallett Kilbourne and Bel
KNAPP. Kilbourne's matter is still be-
fore the court.
Many expressions of dissatisfaction
with the railroad companies because OF
their niggardly action in the matter OF
the reduction of fares to the Centennial
exhibition; and the voracious disposi'
ton manifested by the hotel men,
boarding house keepers and hash-house
proprietors at. Philadelphia will, with
out doubt, deter many people from an
attendance there.

THE BEATTY FEE BILL.

A reporter for the Commercial inter-
viewed General Grosvenor, Speaker of
the Ohio House of Representatives,
last week, on the subject of the law
passed by the General Assembly during
its last session, popularity known as the
Beatty Fee Bill" Being asked for a
statement Of the "wbole case" General
Grosvenor said:
The Commercial attacked the Beatty
Bill repeatedly, and finally, in its issue
of one day last week, charged me with
being the principal cause of its passage.
Now, in my judgment, when the pso-
pie of the State fully understand The
subject, the Beatty Bill will be as pop
ular as the Oren Bill, passed winter be-
fore last, was odious. The idea of my
Icing in favor of high fees to county Of
ticers is ridiculous. made speeches in
favorof the new Constitution, my advo.

penditures of the Department of JUS
tice, who has been sending out calum-
nies against the President, through the
press, because the latter approved oi
measures to prevent illegal voting in
New York city, was courtmartialed at
Chicago during the war, for connection
with conspiracy of the Knights Of the
Golden Circle to release rebel prisoners

favor soing back 10 the sysIem OF the
Orep Bill.
Reporter-It has been estimated that
the Oren Bill saved the people of the
State $3.50, 900 year; is that estimate
correct?
General Grosvenor The Commercial
has made that claim, but there never
was greater mistake. The Oren Bill
cut down the aggregate compensation
of county officers by a very large
amount, but nothing like $3.50, 900, and
its reduction of the actual expenses Of
the administration of justice was very
small. 1t did not pretend to lessen the
fees in the counties OF medium size
over five per cent. as against the high
est war prices, and so there could moi
be any such saving as claimed.
