After delaying more than a week Gov.
Mr.. Blaine's letter in regard to the New
Orleans massacre, which was printed in the
papers of Wednesday The letter is a very
peculiar document. 1t expresses no regret
for the murder Of the prisoners, but simply
says that there is now no excitement in the
city, that there is no danger of further
outbreak, and that the grand jury are in
vestgatng the case. Gov. Nichols evil
IDENTIFY does not mean to weaken himself
with the New Orleans people by expressing
condemnation of their actions which he
does not feel.
A statement started the rounds of the
press dispatches early this week to the eff
feet that Senator Edmunds means to resign
before another Congress meets. The story
originated apparently in a despatch from
Minnea polls, and it was said to be founded
on statement made by ex-senator Pierce,
"a close personal friend of Mr. Edmunds. "
Webb took up the matter in Boston Jour
nal despatch on Wednesday, mentioning
two or three facts that seemed to give
color to the report. The first of these is
that Mr.. Edmunds has leased his Washing
ton house, built for his own occupation, to
Senator Washburne of Minnesota, for a
number of years, with the added statement
that Mrs Edmunds and her daughter will
hereafter spend their winters in the South.
Webb also says that at an executive session
of the Senate held on the last day of the
recent session Mr.. Edmunds made a speech
abiding to certain personal matters, which
might be construed as a farewell address.
He also alludes to an understanding, prev
alent at the opening of the late session of
the Vermont legislature, that something
new or important was likely to take place
hut which, however, did not happen.
