WAS BLAINE BRIBED?

The Story Tint Jtraes F. Joy, of MichIgan, Toll Henry Ward Brecher Alleged Deal In Railroad Bonds Beecher Affirms the Truth of the Story to Blaine. Ulalne Begging Beecher Silence. J New York Truth. At the time of tue Chicago Convention the fact that James F. Joy, of Michigan, stood up and nominated James G.Blaine for President and made a lonj speech eulo gizing that man greatly astonished Rev, Henry "Ward Beecher. The fact that Michigan was chosen to nominate Blaine arose from the fact that it had been the first delegation to bolt Blaine in 187a There was nothing strange in this. but that Joy should be the man it what made Mr. Beecher surprised. An intimate friend asked Mr. Beecher what there was about it at all surprising. In fact, why not Mr. Joy as well as any other man? MICHIGAN JOY'S OP15I0S OF BLAIXE. "Well." said Mr. Beecher, "Mr. Jo's private opinion of Mr. Blaine is, or rather was some time ago, that Mr. Blaine is a consummate scoundrel." The intimate friend pressed Mr. Beecher to say more, and then the reverend said that some time since he was on a lecturing tour, and when in Detroit stopped at the house of Mr. Joy, who went to hear his lecture. After the lecture was over, Mr. Joy and he passed the evening ogether, and naturally their conversation turned to politics. Various men in the Bepublican party were discussed until Blaine's name was mentioned. Mr. Beecher said there were many stories enrrent of Blaine's personal character, and Mr. Joy retorted that none of them were too bad to be true. At any rate, he said, though a stanch Republican, and though Michigan was a strong Blaine State, he, personally, would never be found suporting Blaine. He knew too much about him. WHAT MICHIGAX JOT EW Of BLAIXE. Mr. Beecher wantto know what it was that Mr. Joy knew that was so damaging to Blaine, and Mr. Joy then went into a long story of a transaction he had with the Maine Senator, of which the following is the burden: .Mr. Joy was President of a railroad which ran through what had been known as the Cherokf-c Reservation in Kansas. To this road Congress had granted great tracts of land on both sides of .he track. The road had been a long time building, however, and large numbers of people, mainly emigrants, had settled on the land deeded to the railroad. They took possession under the homestead act, settled down, cleared the land, built themselves houses and went to wrk to till the soil. As a rule the settlers, who amounted to several thousands of people, found the country productive and be- j t ame quite prosperous there. In the meantime the railroad pushed its way along until I it had completed its part of the bargain with the Government. Then Mr. Joy's attention 1 was called to the fact that some thousands of jK-eple were in ossession of land really belonging to the road of which he was President. His duty was clear in the premises, and he went down to Kansas and saw about it. He found the people obstreperous and unwilling to do anything with the Company. They said they had been on the land for a longtime and nobody had ever informed them they were trespassers. They had settled under the operations of the homestead act and nobody should get them off. They would listen to no compromise. Mr. Joy said he felt for these people, as any man would. They built their houses thinking to own them, and now to be dislossessed seemed a great hardship, but his jMisition as President of the road made his duty clear, and he could not afford to indulge in any sentiment about it. MB. JOY GOES TO WASHINGTON. So he went to Washington and got in a bill declaring the settlers on the Cherokee grant to be tresspassers, and ordering the military to proceed and dispossess them of their property. He first inquired if there was any other way to proceed, but found that the difficulties of getting the company its rights would be insuperable without a special act of Congress. When the bill was in a fair way ot going through, as he thought, he left Washington and went back to Detroit. He waited some time there and heard nothing of the bill It seemed to have completely disappeared. In the meantime tne men sent by the Railroad Company to make demands for rent upon the settlers were in every case unsuccessful. In some instances they were ill treated and barely escaped with their lives. This made him the more pressing to get his bill passed. He endeavored to get Government permission for the military to protect the road ami its employes, but could do nothing. To all his writing to Washington and urging his agents to expedite the bills, he received but one reply, that there was some opposition somewhere, but they could not find out in what juarter. A FEIEXD WHO KNEW THE BO PES. Mr. Joy went to Washington and made some personal efforts to push his measure through. At length he met a friend, to -whom he exposed his troubles. That friend, who knew the ropes in Washington, made inquiries, and after two or three days came back and told him very mysteriously that he had better go and see Blaine. "Whvr asked Jov. "What can he dor "Well." said the friend, "Mr. Blaine can do pretty well what he's a mind to. (Jet his sympathies enlisted, and your bill will have a better show." Joy knew Blaine slightly. He went to see him. lilaine received mm very coiaiy, and listened to Iiis story with apparent antagonism. When Joy got through his story, Blaine said: BLAISE PLATS VIRTUOUS. "Mr. Joy, you are asking me to mix myself up in what seems to me a very cruel wrong. These poor people have a virtual right to this land they have settled on. I am opposed to any legislation which bears hard upon the poor man in favor of the rich, oa had better go elsewhere." Mr. Joy was very much taken back by this visit to Mr. Blaine, and he began to perceive that it was not everything to have a grant from Congress. What was necessary in the matter he but imperfectly understood. He went home again to Detroit a sadder and wiser man, and his bill slumbered. THE MAIf THAT SMILED. Some time afterward he met a gentleman to whom he confided his troubles. This gentleman knew Washington welL He milaH when Mr Jnv told of his interview with Blaine, and told him to go to Wahington again, ana again go ana see -air. Blaine.

JOT MAIM WO B05M ABOUT IT. Mr. Joy took the hint He went to Washington once more, but this time well proidel with the bonds mentioned by his pentleman friend, who, In the meantime, had written Blaine to expect Mr. Joy. The morning after his arrival In "NY ashington Mr. Joy went to Mr. Blaine's house. Mr. BUine received him very affably. Mr. Joy told Mr. Blaine he was convinced lie could do nothing without him, and to make him ee that the matter was one in which he should embark, he begged to leave with him

some doctrmentrin a paper parcel he had with him. With that he handed Mr. Blaine the $40,000 of bond wrapped np in a large envelope. Mr. Blaine said he would look into the matter ami ee if his first impression of Mr. Joy's claia was a wrong one. HOW B05M AFFECTED BLAIHE. Mr. Joy left for home witliout any further assurance. But the very next day Mr. Blaine went to work. With his activity at the baclC of it, the bill Mr. Joy had been so long In pushing soon became a law, and the military were sent down into the Cherokee Reservation and compelled the settlers on Railroad Company's lands to move" or settle. The act was unfortunately accompanied by a great deal of unnecessary severity, and no small amount of suffering and misery

was the result. But the Company got its rights and Mr. Blaine kept his bonds. HE5KY WARD BEECHER'S SUKPBISE. This story greatly surprised Mr. Beecher, who had been an attentive listener all through. The two gentlemen did not go to bed that night until very late, and when they did they were of one mind concerning the character of James G. Blaine, ot Maine, BLAISE CONFERS WITH BEECHER. On October 0 Truth hinted at this story rather broadly, and mentioned Mr. Beecher in connection with it. N e were not men m possession of the facts we are now, but enough was told to frighten Blaine. He came on to New York and was taken sick at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Being unable to move, he sent to request Mr. Beecher to come over and see him. Mr. Beecher accepted the invitation and went. Mr. Blaine showed Mr. Iecher a copy of Iruth with the story about him. BEECHES CERTIFIES TO THE TEITII OF THE STORY. "You would greatly oblige' me," said Blaine, "if you would contradict that story, for you know it to be a lie." "Mr. Blaine," answered Mr. Beecher, "I do not know how this story got out. It was not given to Truth by me. But I will certify that every word of it is true." "But it may do me an enormous injury." "That I can not help. Go to Mr. Joy, who is your friend, for a contradiction. But if I ani put under oath I shall not ierjure myself. The story of this affair is as Mr. Jov told it to me." BLAINE BEGS BEECHER'8 SILENCE. Blaine then begged Mr. Beecher to say no more about it, and to refuse to see rejorters if thev called about it. Mr. Beecher said he had no wish to injure Blaine, and he promised. Blaine was inteiested to know how the story got out. Mr. Beecher said he did not remember telling it anywhere outside of a council of ministers, in which our political questions were disensscd. The two parted ostensibly good friends, but Mr. Beecher firmly refusing to accede to Mr. Blaine's request "to state the story was false. Since then thev have onlv met in the campaign, and no word has been broached on the subject. In Mr. Beecher, Blaine found a man who was something more than a tool in his hands. THE NEW BIBLE. Tiewed From a Catholic Standpoint. The Catholic Telegraph, the official organ of the Catholic Church, of Cincinnati, says to-day of the new Bible: The new New Testament, as it has been aptly styled, excites no curiosity whatever on the part of Catholics, In this or any other country. Some priests and laymen may possibly read 11 in order to ascertain if the more fKgrant cases of mistranslation have been rectified, but this will be all. Holy Church emtca mtes before the ltible appeared iu its present collected form, and it would continue to exist for ages to Come, were every copy of the Bible destroyed frora the face of the earth to-morrow. the learned revisers are credited with discover ies in which they were anticipated some centuries aso by Catholic doctors. For tustaiice, the pa-ssatre of the three witnesses, about which such a fuss is bei 11 H made, wan condemned, by a. Thomas Aquinas: and the Jesuit, Father Maldouatus, wrote of the story of the women taken iu adultery: "I have consulted many codices ot the Greeks, and only one contained it." Many other disputed passages are mentioned in a verv interesting article on "l he tcnoiars ana the Bible," in the excellent Catholic Quarterly Keview, published at Philadelphia. English speaking catholics are likely to remain satixfied with ihv. old Iouay version, which 1. Indorsed by the Second Council of lialtirnore (Par. 1C). and approved by the Holy See. They w ill not endanger their faith by placing any reliance on translations which are disapproved, unrecognized and forbidden by the Church. (Counsel of freut, Sess IV.) The whole business of Bible revision is "none of our funeral," though it U more than probable that the revisers are acting as the pall bearers ol Protestantism. The tiuth is now admitted, by the offenders themseles, rf those old charges, made for 300 years by Catholic w riters, that the Protestant translators hud willfully gaiblcd, mistranslated, falsihed, and added to, subtracted from, corrupted, di. figured and otherwise manipulated the text of the Holy Scripture, in order to bolster up their own ill-founded pretensions. Bad, Very ISad, for Blume. IXew York Sun. One of the last nominations sent in by Oeneral Garfield, and confirmed by the Democratic Senate, was that of Wallace IL White, of Maine, to be United States Attorney for Idaho Territory. It is not likely that the President knew much about Wallace It. White, or that Mr. McVeagh liad selected him as a suitable person to be a prosecuting ollicer for the Government. This is an appointment for which Mr. Blaine is unquestionably and entirely responsible; - and. under the circumstances, it is about the most shamelessly indecent appointment ever procured by any Cabinet ollicer, Wallace K. White is a village lawyer without professional reputation or personal standing. During the troubles which followed the Maine election of 1S7U he figured at Augusta as the agent of a conspiracy to prevent the organization of the Fusion Legislature by bribing memlers to stay away. Moses Harriman and Thomas B. Swan, members of that legislature, have both sworn that White approached them with corrupt projiosals, which they pretended to accept. On January b ISM, White paid to Harriman $1,C(X) in bills, and to Swan $1,000 to leave the Legislature, thus surrendering the control of the State Government to the Blaine Republicans. Harriman and Swan took the money and immediately turned it over to the proper authorities, with a full statement of the facts. The enemies of Mr. Blaine have sought to implicate him in White's attempt. , At a sham investigation of the scandal by the Legislature of 1880 there was evidence to show that White was at Mr. Maine's house only an hour before he paid the bribe money to Harriman and Swan. Mr. Blaine's enemies at home, we say, have always made the most of this circumstance. Mr. Blaine's friends, and Republicans generally in the State, have contented themselves with indignant denials of the possibility of Mr. Blaine's complicity. White himself, as the miserable tool of unknown or unidentified corrupters, has been allowed to escape without other punishment than the contempt and aversion of his neighbors. However disgraceful this appointment may be to the public service, the worst feature of the case is found in its bearing on Secretary Blaine's own reputation. Legal Amenities In Omaha. Omaha Bee. In the case of Justice Brandes' Court this morning Lawyer Fonda auiwared on one side and Lawyer Tate 011 the other. The lawyers got into a wrangle over ihe merits of the case, during which Fonda called Tate a liar. "Did you call me a liar?" yelled Tate.

JAY QOU.D. In most of the countries of Europe, and especially in England, great wealth, when uninherlted, is, as a general thing, realized through the slow and patient channels of some trade or calling. This, doubtless, is owing to the fact that the nat ural resources of these countries are malnlr developed to their utmost rapacity, and that so nar row are their boundaries, individually, as well as their ideas of government, the spirit of enterprise can find no retiug place for lue sole of iL foot among the impoverished masses of their dense populations. When, however, we come to contrast this undesirable state of things with the condition of affairs within the boundaries of our own vast Commonwealth, we are at once struck with the magnitude 01 tneir dissimilarity, and wiln bosoms cute with joy and pride, but with no mean feeling of triumph, turn frora the sunset of older Nations to the glorious dawn of our ow n rising greatness, which, even now, exceeds la luster tome of the boasted noontide of the past. Here a newly Treated world, so to speak, possessed of wealth, fur exceeding that of "Ormus, and of Ind," and teeming with all th? resources necessary to our greatness and happiness, lies spread out before us In boundless expanses, presenting to every species of enternnse fields for operation so filled with promise, and of such gigantic magnitude, that those 01 the Old World are dwarfed loto insignificance before them. i noer sucn ctrcumstr.ve it Is not a matter of surprise that our vast resources are becoming ranirilv developed, that cities and civilizations are now being scattered through regions not long since sacred to the foot of the white man. and that con. stantiy in our midst some adventurous and farseeing spirit leaps out from the masses, and, at a single bound, as it were, attains to colossal wealth ana importance. There is no stronger case In toi it touch in it this latter relation than that presented by the genilenian whose name appears at the head of this article, snd who has for sometime past commanded so large a share of public attention with regard to the boldness and magnitude of his operation in some of the leading interests of our economy. Although not free from the suspicions which natur ally attach to men who. from comparative penury. occoiue. as 11 inrougn me wave 01 a magician s wand, the possessor of millions, yet there are those who tmve faith in him as a sharn and suc cessful operator, who has given more offense tnrougD his superior business tact and daring than through any absolute dishonesty on his part. Jay Oould was bom at 8truttoH's Falls, Delaware County, New York, in the year l&iti. His father, Ji.hu 11. Gould, who died iu 1n6. and wno had been married three times, was a well-to-do farmer and small storekeeper. Jay was a son by his first wife, who went the way of all flesh in JSU, little dreaming that her boy of five years was unomea to jss mrougii tne course of two stepmothers. loungUould, however, early be trayed symptoms of genius and sell-reliance, for he had soaicely got weil into his chool days till he regarded lilinwlf already a man, and invented a mou.NO trap. This latter has been cous'idered by some as either a bitter sarcasm upon the unwieldy dimensions of the great, square, unsightly, w "te frame house n which he was born, or a grannie overshadowing of his subseqneut operations in an street, lie in is as it may, he passed his childhood like most other country Luis of that period, with tliis difference, that he was studioua. reti cent, and had the advantages of a fair education. when sixteen years of age he made his first move in life, and became a clerk to a "Squire Uurhan," at Koxubnry. two mile from the falls, w ho kept a small store, remarkable for the variety, original rhar.icter, and infinitesimal quantities of Its stock. Here his auditory nerve be came so siiscepiblc that his employer thought it altogether too seiitivc for so sm.ili an establish ment. Mr. Kurhau had mauaired to obtain intelligence that a very desirable piece of laud was for public sale, cheap, in Albany, and determined to purchase it. This he cautiously wliLsnered to some parties in the presence .f his young em ploye.- un proceeding to put nis oeMn into execution, however, he found that, in the interiia; his cierK nad become possessed i the propertv, having availed himself of the astuteness of his hearing. The genius of Jay must have been of no ordinary character, for befote he was twenty vears of age he apeared suddenly a full-blown civil engineer, and made a survey of Delaware County, a map of which was published in 1MÖ6 by Collins G. Keener, of 17 and 19 Union street, Philadelphia with the words "From Actual Survey by Jay Gould." As there Is no royal road to geometry, we fear that his biographers have not done justice to the r.udi jusness or attainments of their subject, for no mention is made of how he became possessed of this unusal knowledge. When Mr. Gould bid farewell to the home of his youth, he went to Pennsylvania wifh Colonel Zadock Pratt, and started a tannery in conjunction wun in at gentleman at a place named Gouldsboro. Kvidently from this name, young Jay was the leading spirit of the enterprise fact which was sjon exemplified by the circumstance of his becoming sole proprietor of the establishment, leaving the Colonel to tan the hides of the enemy II he wished to resume business. In 18Ö1I. Mr. Gould began to speculate in Wall street, la railroad stock; and. it is said, as a curbstone broker. At that period his means were lim ited, and his quarters in New York, most unpretentious, from the very first, however, he had the reputation of being a most successful man; and this was of itself an amount of capital not easily estimated. He neither smoked, drank, nor gambled, and was always on the qui vive for business. During the War he profited largely by the sale of gold and of stovks. and took advantage of every defeat or succe8spt the Union Army. Loug before the close ot the struggle he was said to be a millionaire. Of the truth 01 this conjecture there fcems ample evidence, for soon after he went into the Erie Kai I road that corporation owed him fH.000.0l0. After making a great deal of money through the skillful handling of Erie stock, his next successful venture was in the purchase of 20,000 shares of Cleveland atid Ilttsburg when he improved the road, doubled the market value of the stock, and leased the proierty. netting about a million and a half profit, lu 187:1 he went Into the L'n ion Pacific, buying a vast number of shares at '20. for wnich be has since realized ft". The Fume gis&ntic proportions and successes have characterized all his later ventures also. His pur' chaxe of an enormous amount of Wabash, at lew than 5, the consolidation of the road, the rise iu the stock, and the buyiugof auincreuible amount of Kansas and Texas, at a figure which has doubled up in a profit sixfold greater than the price he paid, has netted him many additional millious. All through 176. and up to the close of s7,s. he bad been purchasing Urge lines of the low price socks which, as if by mav'ic, begau to rise in value the moment he touched them; so that now his wealth must be very great some say upwards of sixty millions. Mr. Gould's share lu what is termed the "Gold Conspiracy," or the famous "Black Friday," and his adroit antagonism with the late Commodore Yanderbilt, when the latter was endeavoriug to cripple the Erie, are too well known to need more than a passing notice here. It is to his present status, and bis power to affect tire public interests in this country that we would brielly direct attention. As the case stands, from the enormous amount of telegraph and if.ilrod stock he controls, he can, at any mrnnent, all but ruin comietinB lines by forcing low rates, or can tax the public beyond endurance, by insisting on high ones. This is a position fraught with great daHger to the best interests . of our people; although for to far no very alarming symptoms have manifested themselves, Mr. Gould is the moving spirit of a great monopoly; but if King Cotton and the great Grain Giiint of the West put their heads together, his scepter, if wielded oppressively, can readily be wrested from his grasp. These two prime factors in our National prosperity can never be embarrassed to any fatal extent by combinations, whose existence may be said to depend on them, if the owuers and tillers of the soil are true to themselves, they are invincible. The influence of this auoceraful operator and financier is so great, and bis management of the press so adroit and far-seelug, that any object he seta before him he is sure to attain, lie is one of the few men who 'never make a false more, and who, consequently, never lose. He is always on the wing-, and if In his travels he happens to come acrons a railroad, or any competIdr luterest he wiithes to poeeeoa blrnnelf of, he at once seta about obtaining it, either through neney or diplomacy. If the owner refuse to (ell or come to any terms be thinks proper to propose he quietly intimates that he will build a line right alongside of theirs, as he finds that one through that precUe region is necessary to the luccessol

some other of his proiecta. This seldom fails to

accomplish, the desired 'end; and hence the aid of bis open band or the pressure of his heel is felt throughout most, if not all, the linHi of intercommunication on this continent He la now opeulnc np Mexico in rivalry with the people of Atchisoa. Torkkaand Santa Fe. When both lines are completed, some compromise or anion must be effected between them, else one at least is sure to go under, and it is not difficult to predict which. He coutempletes.it is said, tne construction of a rival and parallel road to Lake Shore, from Toledo to Buffalo. Should he accomplish this, and connect the line with his Lackawanna extension, he will then hare, practically, a trunk line from the Mississippi, Inas much It will connect at Toledo with Wabash Once in possession of this trunk line he can. through freight and passenger rate wars, menace the New York Central system, and that of the Erie, as well as the Pennsylvania, Ohio and Baltimore srstems. He controls the Pacific Mail Company's line to San Francisco, and the Union Pacific route to the same place. Intact, his position and influence seem so thoroughly established in everything pertaining to railroad and telegraph undertaktrgs that ordinary opposition to his schemes ano projects in either rela tion would appear to be of little avalL As a lit! gant be has few equals, whUe, it is said, bis in' Üuence m the Courts is greater than should be possessed by any gentleman net absolutely on the Bench. In any aspect he is a most eztraor dinary man even his personal appearance conspirmg to distinguish htm from tne ordinary run of mortals; although here nature has not been over bounteous to him, if we are to judge by the critical standards of some of the galleries of Europe, Mr. Gould is a married gentleman, and resides with his wife and family the oldest of whom is a lad of about fourteen years at his magnificent residence, Irvington on the Hudson. Whatever objectionable traits may be set down to his character, he is. most assuredly, possessed of some of marked excellence. He is an affectionate father and husband, and. when the cares of the day are laid bv. prefers the bosom of bis fam.v and the society of his books to any other enjoyment on earth. His son, it Is said. Is a youth of great promise, and likely to evince in due time some of his leading characteristics As we can not but suppose that Mr. - Gould is a man of aclf-com-munings and deep retrospection, we leel assured that at times, when seated in his palatial abode, surrounded by the fairy realm of Irvingion, mat ieeni witn every Deauty and luxury known to refinement and wealth, he contrasts his bnlllant and happy present with his mouse-traD days, and remembers, with a smile, the dismav and agitation he felt when his mouse-trap his first, and doubtless only invention was stolen from him when, a poor and nnkuown lad. he vis ited New York in the hope of turning it Into cash. Certainly he can scarcely have forgotten how bravelv he ran down and captured the thief, who turned out to be a notorious burglar, and who, on perceiving what the carefully tied-up little bandle, for which he was arrested, contained. exclaimed, with supreme contempt, when the parcel was opened by the police: "V hat!

A rather ridiculous story is coinir the rounds about Vice President Arthur which may be interesting reading for his friends in rew lork. Cut at the races one day last week, Arthur, during the interval between heats, was walking about the quarter stretch when he was approached bv a showilv dressed individual who ' addressed him fa miliarly and sauntered up and down with him for a few turns, hnallv slipping his arm in that of the Vice President as if he and the latter were old cronies. The spec tacle was a surprising one to those who knew bth parties, as the individual who was apparently so familiar with the Vice President was a notorious piron and snide" gambler of the town, Jack - , The two were at such a distance that it was impossible to hear w hat was the burden of their conversation, but it was evident Ar thur took the fellow for some one else. As for the latter, he put on the boldest and most impdent swasrger, and as he walked arm in arm with the Vice President every now ana again looked toward a line of carriages where his mistress and some of ier girls wero seated, as if to attract atten tion to himself. On the conclilsion of his walk he came over to his friends, and with an indescribable leer, tipping his iat back:, drawled out: "Thats the kind of friends I have." The girls (?) laughed, but two sports, evidently strangers, who lounged bv the carriage, asked: "Who is he?" "Vice President Arthur," said Jack, as if to walk with Vice Presidents was an every day occurrence with him. His two friends refused to believe him, and finallv Jack otlered to bet $20 it was the Vice President. The bet was accepted, and the strangers, with only less cheek than Jack himself, walked over to where Arthur was standing talking with a newspaper correspondent. "Say, Mister," said one of them, "we've got $20 bet on you that your name ain't Arthur." Instead of paying no heed to them. Ar thur, much to the surprise of his com panion, suavely replied: "That a my name." "But you're not the Vice President?" queried one of the two, evidently surprised. les, I ni ice President Arthur. ' was the reply; and apparently entering into what he supposed was the spirit of the bet, Chester A. drew out his wallet and exhibited a letter and and a railroad pass made out in his name, at which the now satisfied but astonished sports withdrew to where Jack and his female friends were standing, amused spectators of the colloquy they could not hear. Arthur apparently thoucht nothinir of the circumstances, but it is said that when the facts reached his ear he was at white heat.
