WASHINGTON, May 30.-Tbe people who were so
swift to believe that they would be afforded an op-
portunity to throw mud at Senator Blaine on ac-
count Of threatened disclosures regarding corrupt
means alleged to have been used to secure certain
legislation by Congress in favor of the Texas
Pacific Railroad, will be disappointed whom they
read the following letter This letter was written
to Senator Hamlin without any solicitation or
knowledge ON the part of Mr.. Blaine or any of
his friends. 1t disposes at once aud forever of
scandal by means of which some of Mr.. Blane's
enemies have been sanguine enough to believe that
he could be overthrown. The letter is as follows:

iniure your colleague, Senator Blaine, than to ln-
vestigae the facts of the case, have ntimated that
his name was mixed up in the affair." and that he
would be injured by searching inquiry. 1t is due
to truth and candor for to say that no papers in
my possession and no facts within my knowledge
refer in the remOtest degree, directly or iudrecty
to Senator Blaine. No mention OF his name ana
no reference to him be found In any OF the pa
pars relating to the Texas Pacific case. am not

personally and have never spoken TO HIM IN nv lie,
hut am unwilling that any injury shall come 20 him
from Qroundless inference which can easily re-
move, / have no other motive than that of truth
and Justice for writing this letter. and address 1t
to you as the wel-known friend of your colleague,
leaving il to your discretion to make any use OF II
you may choose. am, sir, respectfully your obedi-
