FOR this excessive siobber Of sweetness

This step has rot been taken without

The evidence is now produced that Mr..
Blaine purchased and became possessed
Of one block of the stock OF the Hope
Furnace Tract Association, in the Hook
ing Valley. in 1859, of the value Of $685.
900, that he paid for the same by a draft
on Steve Elkins,..of Star-route notoTiety,
the present manager Of the Blaine cam
paign, and that he subsequently received
in exchange therefor S5O,o coo OF the first
mortgage bonds Of the Standard Coal
and Iron Company, OF tie Hooking Yul-

Steve Elkins and receipted for by him
ION ccount OF James u. Blaine" Ii is
thus proved by documentary evidence
that Mr.. BlniIc's letter, written on July
22d last, addressed to "Hon. Ii. S. Bun
dy," denying that the writer had ever
''owned a share Of stock III any conl,
iron or land company in the State Of
Ohio" was IL deliberate and wiliul false
hood. The lie was uttered TO shield
Blaine frori the stigma OF having had a
share OF responsibility for the terrible
su~ffcrings of the miners in tho Hooking
Valley. On the principle that "where
concealment is desirable avoidance is ad-
visable" there is not n line or word in
the untruthful Bundy letter which is not
consistent with Mr.. Blainc's idea OF the
most scrupulous integrity and honor.

The Springer Congressional Commit

ton Of the accounts of United States
Marshals has made a majority report in
which it is shown that this department
Of the pub.ie service is no more sxemp.
from grOss frauds than the other branches
which have been subjected 70 inspection.
The testimony before the committee
clearly shows that utter ineilciency and
criminal practices have prevailed in
many parts Of this branch o: the public
service for many years past, and that
the Government has been a heavy loser
thereby. There is n s-aiaeness as also n
variety in the testimony. The iuvesti-
cation reveals the wonderful u~naninity
with which these ocfieers in almost
every grade, and in every portion Of the
country, have plundered the public treas
ury by false. fraudulent and 6c;i-
tious charges, and yet the variety OF the
ways and means by which they have
worked their schemes is equally curious,
and shows they have taxed their igeuu-
