THE publication of the letter of ac.
ceptance written by Mr.. Biain, to Pres
ident Garfield, in accepting the Cabi-
net appointment of Secretary of State,
il one more instance of the treachery
Of officials located near the throne.
There il nothing in the letter beyond
warm effnsiveness that could posi-
bly, harm the reputation of Mr.. Blaine.
II was "A private letter, not at all COM
posed with a view TO publicity, and for
that reason naturally man would in
dulge i'm phrases, harmless. yet when
biazed out i'm public, possibly might
not meet the appreciation of his enc
mics. There can he no excuse for the
giving up of this letter to the press.
1t was directed to the then President,
and supposedly would at his death
either be found among his papers, or
else would have at the time been de-
strOyed. In this case the letter was
preserved. and at his death found, and
by the infamous neanness of some one,
given TO the newspapers with the di-
rect purpose of lowering Mr. Blaine
before the eyes of the country.

The Internal Machines.

London, GA dispatch from Liver
pool says: After the explosives and
| mechanism had been removed from the
cement barrels, the barrels were made up
so as to appear as if undistur bed, and
were left Oh thee quay, but nobody claimed
| them. One thing Is clear, either the con-
signoTs sent the machines with the pre-
| arCsnged purpose of having them seized
or there is utter disloyalty among the
Irish people in America.
New York, 27,-The World has this:
j. Pierfepont Edwards, British consul ct
this port, said yesterday, to q reporter.
that ne had no doubt as to the suthen-
ITCHY of the cable reports Of the discoy-
cry of internal machines in the cargo of
the steamships Malta and BGUarian. It
wss IN the line of the policy, he thought,
which O'Donovan Rosa had chosen to
adopt, and he was willing that Rosa
should have the credit, if there is any
credit attaching to the performance. In
mentioning ROssa in this connection. Ed
wards did lot desire to impute 10 him the
actual preparation or shipmest of the
explosive material concealed in the GEM
ent barrels, but 1t was the sort of thing
which Rossa had advocated. Rosa has
already hlnted that he was responsible for
the destruction of the Dotera in South
American waters, and this was. appsr-
eBtly an attempt st @ similar piece of
business.
London, 27.-It is feared the p-ema-
ture publication of the facts sbout the
seizure of the internal machines will rem
der futile some important Investigations
now IN progress and destroy the chances
of the discovery of the senders. One of
the machines Is retained at the head con-
stables office, Liverpool. Ii is described
as very beautifully made and most effect
lively designed. Although the machines
are all charged with explosive substances
there IS tolsrably conclusive evidence
that there Was no intention on the mart of |
the senders that thsy should explode in
the hold Of the steamer while In transi. |
from Boston 10 Liverpool. The machine |
Is enclosed IN long case of zinc. of !
which 1t occupies the upper portion. |
There is clOckwork ARRANGEMENT
which. upon Being set, runs hand six
hoursi then Il closes over to descend upon
q tube bearing cap, and communicating
with the lower half of the case The tube
IS 1lied With explosives, which, upOn |
beng fred, sets of the cap placed in the
middle OF the dynamite compound in the
bottom Of the case. The presumption is
that the machines we're intended for the |
destruction or injury of public buildings
throughout the country in accordance
Win the avOwed Fenisn programme.
