BosToN, April 23.-The Transcript says:
The report from the West, which we pub
lished Tuesday, that the Chicago, Freeport
& st. Paul would be built in the interest of
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, may or may
not eventually prove true, we do not think
at present the Chicago, Burlington &
Quinty intends to go to st. Paul by that
route. The Freeport line would be a
good one through rich local territory, but
line nearer to the east bank of the Missis-
sippi river would be more in accordance with
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy's plans.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is going
to st. Faul, but it is going by road of its
own selection when it gets ready. Ex-
President Forbes is west, and will prob
ably visit st. Paul before his return.

WASHINGTON, April %. = Secretary
Bayard is just now trying to explain how
ne committed the blunder of appointing
Blaine Republican, in the person of James
M. Morgan, to the important consulate at.
Melbourne, in British Australia. Mr..
Morgan it seems is brother-in-law of the
editor of the Charleston News and Courier,
of whom it is alleged he is an unnaturalized
citizen of the United States and
ON FESTIVE OCCASIONS
bedecks himself with orders conferred upon
him by the queens government of England.
Mr. Morgan, the appointee, reached Wash
ington late yesterday afternoon. He visited
Secretary Bayard at once, and was advised
by him to call upon the president forth
with and establish his Democracy.
Mr.. Morgan subsequently called
upon the president. In explanation
of his writing Blaine pamphlet, he said
that pending the political campaign, he
wrote pamphlet on military subjects, and
incorporated in it an extract from
ONE OF BLAINE's LETTERS
while secretary of state ON his foreign policy
in the South American states.
but you are a Democrat" quoth the
president.
Il voted and sympathized with Tilden in
1876" said Morgan. ''In 1880 was abroad
and didnOt engage either actively orpassively
in the Hancock campaign. All my sympa-
thieS are with the Democratic party, and I
consider myself a Democrat. With this the
interview ended, to the discontinue of the
Blaine men, however. Now comes the
charge that Morgan was pirate on the

the change be true that he is a Blaine Re
publican, those with whom he affiliated
must take the odium of his piracy.
