and have received which lead them TO think
Senator Ingalls, of Kansas will get control OF the
delegation Of State Senator Paddock the Nebras
ka delegation in the interest Of Mr.. COnkhng-QuiHcy
Wig.
This confirms what we said last week-that
Ingalls, wanted the Convention to endorse him,
and elect his supes as delegates, in order to
ry them in bis breeches-pocket, and dicker them
off to Conkling or some other candidate for pat
ronage by which he could strengthen his power.
But Ingalls, is as much superior to Paddock as
apple-butter is to mud. Paddock is a squirt, and
his election was fair illustration Of what fools
Western people can make of themselves, when
they get the spell on them. Paddock is from
New York, and thinks nobody but New Yorker
is fit for any Office. But both the Conventions
of Kansas and Nebraska have fixed these ambi-
tious accidents for dickering.

No sHY STEERING, IF You PLKAsE.-There are
numerous inquiries relative to calling 3 Judicial
district Convention, but the persons having con =
troll of the matter are exceedingly reticent ana
mysterious about it. To man up a tree, it looks
as if some tall shystering were going on. W. "
Guthrie was Chairman of the District Committee ,
but nothing could be got out of hin. He mas
machine Of his own to run, and might do some
thing to offend somebody. Finally it was report
ed that Guthrie had resigned his position, anu
had sent his resignation to Mr.. Conweii, AZ oehe-
ca, who seemed to be next in line OF promo''on.
A member of the bar undertook to trace 'ne
matter mp, and see if he could learn What was W
be done. Guthrie said that no time or place nad
been fixed upon that Hubbard wanted h'awa-
tina, and Perry wanted Troy, but it had been con-
ceded that Severance would be compromise
The gentleman went to Seneca to sec Mr. Con-
we'll, who informed him that he had receVea
call from Judge Hubbard, unsigned, and tnat ne
had forwarded it to Mr.. Morrill,, at Hiawatha,
without reading it. At Hiawatha, he learned
that Morrill, had forwarded it to somebody else,
but that Hiawatha had been selected as the place,
and August 9th as the time. These committee
men are all supporters of Hubbard, and ne mas
dictated the whole business, after all. The call
is probably now in the pocket of bis Honor"
while he has the matter "under advisement,
and will promulgate it then he thinks the sign
is right
1t looks if there were an undue amount Of shys-
tering going on in this business. In the way Of
railroad connections, Troy would be the most
convenient place; and as the Convention is (sup-
posed) to be delegate one, its location cannot
control the choicice as if it were to be made by
a mass meeting. Unless Hubbard and his clique
are going to run the whole thing themselves, we
would mildly suggest that the call be published,
and that other persons besides "his Honor" be
consulted little.

II Mulligan, the creature of the Conkling
and Bristow conspirators to defeat Mr.. Blaine
by means of scandal, is said by them to be q
man of such unmpeachable honor and integrity,
that it would be an outrage even to suspect him
of wrong. Yet it seems that, as confidential
clerk, he managed to abstract private letters
that never belonged to him, and then threaten
ed to publish them If his evidence was doubted.
These are the genuine ear-marks of honor and
integrity, according to the Conkling and Bris-
tow code. This act of itself stamps Mulligan as
a villain. Blaine was not only justified in keep
ing the letters, but he would have been justified
in choking the wretch and taking them from
him by force.

The Outlsok--Biaine,s Prospects Nest En-
c0uraging.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., May 25.-The late stu
pendous strides made by Blaine in the Presiden.
tial race has had very exhilarating effect on
his friends in Congress and the departments, as
well as those visiting here Those closest to him
say they have nS1oubt he will be nominated on
the first or secend ballot, and they give what
they say as authentic reasons for the belief that
is within them. Their figures are striking and
interesting. They say that with his large sup
port in other sections, New England will give
him her solid vote on the first ballot-eighty two
delegates. He then has New Jersey, Is Della
ware, 6; Maryland, 10; Virginia, ls; North Car
olina, 10; Georgia, l2; Mississippi, 5; Tennessee,
5; Texas, 3; Oregon, 6; California, 10; Colorado,
4; the Territories, l5; Kansas, 10; Nebraska, 6 /;
Missouri, Ii; Minnesota, 10; Wisconsin, p IL
linois, II Michigan, 16. In addition, Blaine's
cOnfdants say he will receive from Iowa % votes,
and from Florida 6. These are counted for the
first ballot, and number 362, which will lack Oh
ly Is of majority of the Convention.
In case the votes credited for Mr.. Bristow are
received by him, which some Of Blaine's friends
doubt, these figures will be reduced from 20 to 80
The friends Of the Maine statesman seem to
have good cause for rejoicing.-Specia! Dispatch

~ We may not fight Mr.. Perry, but we shall defend
Mr. Hubbard.-Hidlcathd Herald.
Why don't you defend him, them Thus far,
you haven your space in pitching into us.
We recently Published almost two columns of
charges against Judge Hubbard, every one of
which was true, and can be easily proven. You
have not denied one of them, but simply made
the general assertion that We published false
hoods against Hubbard. We made q slight error
in giving the population of Districts, which was
of very little consequence in its bearing upon the
subject; but here was something that they could
make handle of, and the Hubbardtes have
made a big ado over it. Not one of the Hubbard
advocates has yet defended him, unless keeping
up loud yelling, throwing mud, and declaring
they will elect him anyhow, constitute defence.
Why, we have just entered upon the preliminary
charges against Judge Hubbard. The worst ones
are yet to come. If you are going to defend him,
you had better apply to him for facts to clear
him of the unpleasant accusations that hang
over him.

e The country appears to have but little
sympathy with the investigation of the charges
against Speaker Kerr. To be sure, his own po-
litical friends and his own Committees started
this deluge of investigation, blackmail and SLAM
der; but it has become disgusting, and has
been so notoriously a machine for the worst
characters in the land to avenge grievances, ex-
tort biood-money, and further unworthy ambi-
tions, that the public even sympathize with one
who gets caught under the saw-log that he help

The New York Tribune has this unkind cut at
certain Greeley papers in 1872, Brstow papers
in 1876: at is Mr.. Bristow's misfortune that one
or two journals, fresh from the clean picked
bones Of another candidate, to whom their friend
ship was fatal, have alighted upon aud aronnd
him. They seem to have taken him in special
charge. Whoever looks toward him has only a
vision of the Tapping of their fateful wings. To
the honest searcher after information as to his
ability and fitness, there comes no response ex-
cept as these creatures answer "Caww The
bleached skeleton of one statesman advertises on
white thigh bone and pelvis the power of their
affectiODate regard, and Mr.. Bristow may thank
his stars if within the next two months they are
not singing over his remains:
We perched ourselves on his back bone
And picked his eyes out one BY one"

BRIsTow REFoRM."-Bristow's hackers never
weary with telling of the " "Reform"-the genuine
reform, that is to be accomplished by the cleo
ton of Brstow, and that can be secured with no
other candidate. Relying exclusively upon evil
dence furnished by Bristow's most jealous sup
porters, We can form an Mea of the reform that
Bristow will bring about, from the manner in
which they propose to secure his nomination.
He expects literally to steal it. There are, per-
haps, not over fifty or sixty known Bristow men
elected delegates to the Convention, yet his
friends claim over 13O to start on, with more
than twice as many after a ballot or two.
Wherever State has chosen unanimous Blaine
or Morton delegation, and instructed the dels-
gates, at once we find some Bristow paper, edit
orally or through some one of his strikers, as
serting that, notwithstanding this fact, from one
third to two-thrds of the delegates are really
Bristow men, some of whom will vote for him on
the first ballot, and others after going through
the form of obeying instructions on the first bal
lot What does this amount tof 1t is simply
confessing that Bristow has not the strength to
secure delegates, but that his friends profess to
be in favor of other candidates, get elected as
such, and accept instructions, with the express
design of deceivng those who elected them, and
of violating their instructions. They PROPOSE if
possible to violate the expressed wishes of the
people, and to nominate Bristow by deceiving
and betraying the people whom they represent
We do not believe there is any danger of their
succeeding; but, taking their own word for it,
they are beginning the work of reform and hon.
esty "with a screw to it."

r The Hubbard squashes out west of here
appear to have a wholesome hatred of C. W.
johnson, coupled with considerable dread. For
a long time, they insited that he was a candidate
for Judge. Now, whenever he goes away from
home on business, they can't imagine anything
else than that he is out electioneering against
Hubbard. Of course, every communication in
the Chief, on the Judgeship question, they know
johnson to be the author Of. They are mighty

we don't blame them for dreading johnson. He

B The editor of the Topeka Commonwealth
says ifhe had been one of Ingalls, friends in the
State Convention, he would have insisted upon
introducing resolution of endorsement at all
hazards, and made those gentlemen who were
opposed to him put themselves on record. If he
had been a member, and had insisted upon
such a resolution, he would have got them on
the record, to his hearts content. They were
just aching for an opportunity to 60 on the rec
ord, but Ingalls, managers, by advices from him
by telegraph, concluded not to risk it. They
thought it would answer the purpose better to
have the reporter for the Associated Press tele-
graph lie over the country. That Convention
was the wrong crowd to try to force Ingalls,

BLAINE AGAIN DEMoLIsHEs HIS SLANDERERs.
Monday was field-day for Blaine. He arose
to question of privilege in the House, and after
asking whether Q citizen should be protected in
his private papers, said he would proceed to read
to the House all the letters he had taken from
N ulligsn, about which so much had been said.
He then read the letters, together with the menu
oranda in his own hand VT iting which Mulligan
had attached 30 much importance to. His vin-
dication was thorough and complete, and was
greeted with tbunders of applause from the
House.
He then turned his batteries upon j. Proctor
Knott, Chairman of the Confederate Judiciary
Committee. He said that witness, Caldwell,
if produced, would corroborate Thos. Scotts tes-
timony, and completely vindicate him relative
to the s64, 900 bonds. He asked Mr.. Knott II he
had sent for Caldwell. Knott replied that he
did not know Caldwelrs address. Blaine asked
if he had not received dispatch from Caldwell,
confirming Scott's testimony. Knott declined to
answer the question. Blaine then directly charg-
ed Knott with having received such dispatch,
and with having suppressed it, for political effect
Knott did not deny it, and again came the ap-
plause.
Blaine is still master of the situation. The
Bristov purifiers give notice that another swarm
of witnesses are on their way to Washington
from the slums and cutters, and that new charg-
es will be made. Let them 90. Blaine is too
much for the whole "kit and toliek" of them.
Every fresh assault they make, only increases
his vote for the nomination and if they keep it
up right lively for few days longer, he will 60
in on the first ballot.
