MATTER OF FAvoRITIsM.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. Is, 1869.
Ny DEAR Mr.. FIsHER-It is quite evident
to my mind that at the approaching session
of Congress there will be anexpansion of the
currency to the amount of fifty to twenty
five millions of dollars. The form it will
take / think, will De an addition to the
National Bank circulation West and South.
My object in writing is to ask, in season. if
your friends would desire to establish
bank at Little Rock2 1t will be to some ex-
tent matter of favoritism as to who gets the
banks in the several localities, aud it will be
in my power to "csst an anchor to wind
ward' in your behalf if you desire it, Please
think over the matter aud confer with Mr.
Caldwell, and let me know your desires as
soon as you reach any conclusion. There is,
of course, no special hurry, but thought
would suggest the matter in order that you
might mature your thoughts in good time.
1t would be we'll to determine the amount to
which you might wish to go. l suppose it
might be practicable to secure a $500, 900
bank, but in that locality you would hardly
wish to go so Deep But they are very profit
able institutions. Say S250,O0O. Yours,
very truly, ]. G. BLAINE.

FORTY FIRST CONGRESS,
UNITED STATES House OF REPRESENTATIVES,

Mr.. Boutwelrs answer. l presume you will
deem it necessary to come on here; If so, let
me know of it q day or two in advance.
have written Mr.. Caldwell about the bank;
no trouble In securing bank of $500, 900.
The Secretary of War will not allow the use
of the arsenal at Little Rock; says it is i'm
possible. Very hastily and truly,
ANOTHER BAIT.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 8, 1870.
Ny DEAR Mr. FIsHER-I wrote very hastily
both to yourself and Mr.. Caldwell in regard
to the bank. A further conference with the
Comptroller Of the Currency gives some ad-
ditional facts which are of interest, and this
letter is intended alike for yourself and Mr..
Caldwell. Please show it to him. They are
now allowing 90 per cent. circulation on
1910 bonds instead of 80 and IS at different
periods in the past. They give me the as
| surance that you SDau nave Iull Sf0VVUv
circulation on a bank of half a million

PAID BLAINE's DEBTS.
The following was in reply to Mr.. Blaine's
letter OF April Is, 1872, already published:
Boston. April Is. 1872.
MY DEAR BLAINE-Your favor of the 18th
inst. reached me this morning. l am sur.
| prised at its contents. I have loaned you at
/ various times, when you were comparatively
moor. very large sums of money, and never
/ have Won paid me one dollar from your own
| pocket, either principal or interest. 1 have
Maid sundry amounts to others to whom You
we're indebted, and these debts you have al
lived 10 stand unpaid, like the notes which
/ hold. | have placed You in positions
whereby you have received very large sums
| of money without one dollar of expense to
YOU, and you ought not to forget the act on
NV mart. OF all the parties connected with
the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad no
one has been so fortunate as yourself in OBJ
| tanning money out of it. You obtained a
large amount, both Of bonds and money,
| free of cost to you. 1 have your
own figures, and know the amount.
Owing to your political position you
we're able to work of all your bonds at a
verv high price, and the fact is known to
o,hssrs as we'll as myself. Would your friends
