Blaine and COnklin0.
I"Gath" in Cincinnati Enquirer.

Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.
Blaine got on committee congenial to his
notions, Pos.offices and post roads. which was
being dominated by its clerk, lad OF bad
character. Ga his re election Blaine went on
the military committee. which was one of the
most important subdivisions of Congress.
The public attention was frs drawn to
Blaine on the occasion of q rancorous debate
between him and Roscoe Conkling toward the
close of the civil war, when drafting had
caused disorder through the country, and every
State and constituency wanted to be credited,
right or wrong, with as many men as
possible. James B. Fry was provost
marshal general under Secretary
Stanton. He was understood to have been
citizen of Maine, aud probably from Blaine's
district. Roscoe Conkling, who had severely
graduated in the school OF prosecuting attor-
ney, undertook to bounce General Frey for not
having given due credit to Mr.. Conkling's
State, which had produced bounty-jumpers
enough to make several vast, invisible armies.
Conkling was astonished to find man with
the temerity to defend Frey. In Conkling's
estimation, at that period even more than now,
opposition to him was q wilful impertinence.
His forte was splitting at people and wither-
ing them, and in the manner of Ancient
Pistol, feeling, on whatever provocation, that
"all he'll shall pay for this" Blaine was
Just the kind of boy that Conkling had not ex-
pected-with warm tempsr to which loquaci-
ty is natural, with love of sharp debate and
with practical eye to see his opponents weak
ness, Blaine Immediately swung the contest
into lively personalities, such as calling Conk-
ling "a turkey cock" the appositeness of
which everybody recognized, including Conk-
ling, who has sworn by his foreiock that lie
will not speak to Blaine until he apologies.
Jim can make an apology, with the Pfesi-
dency in his eye, more elegantly than any
man in this country, and no ma n caa be
grander when apologlzed to than the turkey
cock.
Yet it is among the queer incidents of pub
lie life that these two men, beginning with q
b IT quarrel Of that sort, have embarrassed
each others paths ever since. 1t ought to be
a warning to politicians not to make enemies.
Blaine laws bis plans shrewdly, annexes great
numbers of followers from all classes, and yet
there stands in his path to the next Presidency
which is almost in sight, the huge bulk of New
York State, whose party machinery is wound
up by Conkling and he keeps the key. BY the
absurdities of his nature. Conkling ia not able
to reconcile himself to Blaine and at heart
both hates and admires him. Conklings idea,
however, is that Blaine has no moral rectitude,
that he is kind of shyster, who will get down
on his belly aud shake hands with his foes, and
slip mp hill eei-fashion. Blaines idea of Conk
ling seems to be that ne is wonderfully smart,
clear up to the top of his head, and there bored
open and some jackass brains put on the sum :

GoURKA's INVESTIGATION.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb. 19.-Gen. Gourka
governor general of 81. Petersburg, was engaged
at the winter palace the whole of the night of
the 18th investigating the explosion. Dyna-
mite was fired by an electric battery. Several
pounds of that explosive must have been
used. The cellars of the palace have long been
used for storing purposes and appear to have
been occupied by four workmen. three of
whom are under arrest. The fourth is missing.
Many arrests we're made in the winter palace
and Immediate neighborhood.
ARRESTS.
There was an arrest of some forty inmates of
the winter palace on Monday, believed to have

nation of the imperial family, showing that
dinner was appointed for o'clock Tuesday

the empress, by another, when the explosion
took place. The bodies of two more soldiers
have been found among the debris, and OF the
forty-fve injured several have since died.
COMMUNISTS OF THE 'THUNDERER.'
LONDON, Feb. 19-The TDaes commenting
on the explosion of the winter palace at St.
Petersburg, says: The central authority OF the
car must be upheld, if that order is to be
maintained which is indispensable to condi-
ton of progress. Conspiracies like this must
be punished with sufficient severity to crush
them, but if in conjunction with these neces-
sary measures the car pursues course of
gradual reforms he may entertain reasonable
hope that these horrors will pass away.

FREEDMEN'S BANK.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-The Senate select
committee on the Freedmen's bank met to-
day. Arson NJ. Sperry, Gen. Field, agent and
inspector of branches, testified to the solvency
of the bank and to the marvellous increase in
its business from the start ups to 1874, the
time of it's failure. The deposit had grown from
100000 in 1866 to 10000, 900 in 1871, and to
$4,000, COO in 1874. He stated the cause of the
banks failure was primarily violation of the
compauy's charter in entering into general
business in its branches which opened the door
to wild speculation in real estate, loans
and other doubtful securities. The worst COM
plications and losses. he said. arose from oper-
ofi IN aehf u I,l
the bank to sustain a loss through the dishon-
esty of colored men in charge of any branches.
Marshal Frederick Douglass, former presi-
dent of the bank resumed his testimony, from
which 1t appeared that during his short admin
istration he had been able to gain but little
insight into the true inwarduess of the con-
Germ.

Money Did 1t.
Lake City Sentinel. |

Washburn's majority in the Third district
was about 5000, but it has been satisfactorily
proven to the committse that he obtained that
majority by the corrupt use of money and q
thorough system of bulldozing. 1t is good
thing that Mr.. Washburn has been snubbed by
this scathing rebuke, for if such outrages were
allowed to pass unnoticed. the whole principle
of election by the people would necessarily
become absolete. Money has q vast power, but
this nation is composed of freemen whose in
telligence will not brook such outrages as
those committed by Washburn and his bench
men in the Congressional campaign of

PRUSSIAN ARMY.

BERLIN, Feb. 19.-The reichs.ag to-day re-
sumed debate on the bugdet. Herr Volkerdoff,
conservative said the increase of the army was
rendered necessary by changes in the political
situation. 1t wasn't from fear of war of re-
venge on the part of the French that the gov
eminent thought it necessary to increase the
army, but from consideration of what was
passing in the country bordering Germany on
the east. The shameless nihilists, who were
pursuing the car with their crimes. were the
same Pan-sclavists who declared il. Berlin that
they desirsd to take possession of CONSTANT
NOBLE.
