CURTIS OPINION IN 1876.


In Harper's Weekly of May -, 1876,
George William Curtis published a
lengthy article referring 90 the charges
concerning Mr.. Blainc's connection
with the Little Rock & Fort Smith
railroad bonds. After reviewing all
the facts and evidence, Mr.. Curtis pro-
nounced Mr.. Blaine's explanation and
defense absolute and complete" and
stated that it was "as thorough a re-
futation rs was ever made, and in the
absence of other evidence, leaves him
unspotted." In conclusion, Mr.. Curtis
said that the charges against Mr. Blaine
"must be considered merely one of
the reckless SANDERS TO which every
prominent public man is exposed and
no charge that may be hereafter made
against Mr.. Blaine, unaccompanied by
wejghty testimony, will deserve any
attention whatever.

its most tender spots, not only strik-

There are between 100000 and $780,
600 Mormons in Utsh, and they out
vote the Gentiles five to O7zs. They
have no more regard for the obliga-
ton of an oath than a heather Chi
nese, and they arc as tricky as the
very devil. Smith, the founder of the
Mormon church. was vile impostcr
of the worst stamp, and the Mormons
of to-day are just as vile. The church
is immensely wealthy. A very small
portion of the Mormons are polyga-
mainly the big men, who are
set Of lechereus scoundrels.
There are several hundred
missionaries constantly at work, many
in the southern states and in Europe,
and hundreds of converts daily arrive
in Salt Lake. As rule these converts

failure, but the bill which appeared in

strong As righteous resolution and thu

GENERAL SWAIN.
He objects to several Members of
His Court.

WAsHIsaToS, D c., Nov. 17th.-Upon the
opening OF the Swain Court Martial to-day,
General Grosyenor, OF counsel for the ac
cused, read an objection on the part of Gen
e-. swain to oPaymaster-General Rochester,
sitting as member of the Court. He stated
the grounds OF objection to be that General
Rochester is a material witness In this case
with respect to the second charge against
General SWAMI Of neglecting 70 report and
row, had fraudulently duplicated his pay
ace Junts, and also that the accused having
favored the appointment OF Col. Mcclure to
the Paymaster- -Generalship at the time Gen
eral Rochester was appointed and that this
fact was known to the latter. After argu-
ment the room was cleared and when the
doors were re-opened the Judge Advocate
announced that the objections against Gen

then asked whether he desired to object to
any further member of the Court He re-
piled he desired to do so, and Judge Sheie-
berger then read challenge OF Brigadier-
General Schofeld's right to sit as member
of the Court, on the ground that he lscho-
feld) was prejudiced against General Swain
and could not sit In the trial as an Impartial
judge. The challenge against Schoneld
challenged and the challenge In his case
was sustained. t...t
Objection was then made by Gen. Swain
to Gen. Murray on the ground OF prejudice,
growing out OF Swaim's opposition to his
Opponent as Surgeon General. Gen. Murray
having declared upon HIS 'yoir dire" he en-
tertained no prejudice against Gen Swain
that would influence his Judgment In tlris
case. he ehallange was Withdrawn. The
con nsel fors Swain were then allowed 10 ask
Col. Andrews and Col. Ayers without formal
ly challenging those oflAcers whether they
had formed or expressed any opinions as to
Swaim's guilt or innocence, and whether
they entertained any preiudices against him
that would influence their judgment In this
case. Both having answered In the mega
tive the Court was then organized with
eleven members, by the swearing In Of the
members and the Judge Advocate. The
latter stated that Swain requested subpgnas
to be issued for the Secretary Of War,
Gen. Rochester, Major Carey, Col. Barr
and Major Scott. A. recess was taken
until tomorrow. The challenge against
Geu. Terry was sustained because
he stated he would prefer not to sit upon
the trial and be one Of Gen. Swaim's judges.
