made, or had ben made. lie u
others were unable u conjecture where
the original papers containing the
confessions are 10 be found. II they
| have, as stated, been sent 10 Washing
ton. General FInnet, who mi IS the
seat of Bistee, of the Second District
| OF Florida, says the revelations made
| bv McLiu and Dennis accord with the
proofs he has gathered in support OF
his claim 10 the seal. The confessions

CHICAGO, April "a.
The Journals Washington cores
pendent says the Montgomery Blair
faction of the Democrats, who want Il
reopen the Presidential question, mani
lest great delight over the 40 called
confession Of McLin, a member vi the
Florida Returning Board, and some u
the number assert that this will b.
followed by other exposures. which
will have a marked effect upon the
| country. and change the feeling OF o
| tility which now exists among tn
Democrats in Congress, TO q reopenint
| of the question of President Hayes
title. into n cordial support ut the bill
now before the House Judiciary Com
mittee. Mr.. Blair has been cognizan
| of the McLin confession for severa
weeks, and its publication now, Is II
pursuance OF a plan agreed upon by
the Democratic malcoDtents. 1t has
been held back until the Blair resoiu
tons, and the bill drawn up 10y Davit
Dudley Field, could be presented t
Congress and referred to appropriate
Com miitees. The Blair resolutions
were referred in the House on Monday
and there are good grounds for believ
ing that dispatches were sent from her

recting McLin's confession to be mad
public.
The Chicago Journals Washington
correspondent telegraphs that the so
called @ exposure occasions very littl'
comment amou the Republicans, ant
has not produced the co~nsterDatio
which the men who inspired IL evi
IDENTITY expected. Its effect upon tn
Democratic members of Congress, 81
far as can he ascertained, will not b
what Mr.. Blair has looked forward To
and will not lead to favorable action
upon the bill now pending bef'lre tn
House Judiciary Committee, touchinI
the Presidents title. 1t IS believe
here that the confession of Mclin !
due to the fact that he Senate refused t
confirm him as Associate Justice fo
New Mexico, to which office he wa
nominated last October.
