The first traces we hare of Blaine's operations to swell the receipts of that com any by his official influence relates to his action while Speaker of the Maine House of

y-r .Representatives in it. a proposition to (7 purchase $10,000 worth of these rifles for the VI SMitf th Kbit wan JntrrMured in the Hönau

ihrov1 his suggestions, and referred to a committee of which Shepherd Cary was Chairman. Mr. Cary became convinced that there was a job in the proposition, and through his influence the committee reported

i again st it. A few days before the close of the session an order was introduced in the House instructing the Committee on Military Affairs to inquire into the expediency of purchasing a number of Spencer repeating rifles for the mse of the State. It passed the House, but tan &nta amended It referrim in ihn

same committee as before. The House concurred and Cary's committee reported as beIk I bre and the scheme failed. f HOW BLAISE HELPED HIS C0MPA3 1". Bat little was known, however, of Blaine's relations to that company till 1S7G, when hie letters to Warren Fisner, Jr., reached the public. The Chicago Tribune, which now supports Blaine, took the following view of the subject in an article published Jv 7. 17G: "Ys print this morning one of the letters Blaine took from Mulligan that did not appear in the batch sent from Washington so late Monday night that it was almost impossible for the morning newspapers to print them. The letter we refer to was written in 18GI, when Mr. Blaine was a member of Congress and also a stockholder in the. Spencer Kitie Company. In it he claims the merit of suggesting a legislative amendment in the interest of the comnany, in which he was a stockholder, by the favor of Mr. Fisher, te whom the letter was written. Tnat amendment provided that when a corpora tion lift'l a Government tax to pay on manufactured goods, put on after a contract had been made, and the Government was the purchaser of the goods, then the corporation could demand that the Government assume the tax, or, in other words, release it. This was exactly the condition of the Spencer Rifle Company, as Blaine says in the same letter: "The Government has accepted your proposition to take all you manufacture till September 1, 1SC5." Blaine all the time was , drawing dividends on stock in this company, tor which he had given h'u note. The Democrats will, therefore, make the charge lie against hloa that he not merely availed himself of his Congressional position to secure legislation favorable to a company in which he had an interest, but in order to do this he also schemed to deprive the Government of its internal revenue tlx for his own benefit and the benefit of those ' associated with him. What is tbe answer to this charge? It will require another miserable batch of defensive explanations and apoloeies. Is this the kind of a platform on which to elect a President? KLAISE'S LETTERS TO FISHER. Wa.mukgton, D. C, May 23, IsOl jfar I'fae 8ir Your favor received. I am ery glad, all thincs considered, that the Government has accepted your proposition to take all you manufacture till September 1, 18(k). It gives a great and steady business for the company for a good stretch of time. In regard to the tax provision you can judge for yourself, as I send herewith copy of the bill. The provision which you require about was not in the original bill, but wasan amendment moved from the Ways and Means Committee by Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, to whom I suggested it. It is just and proper in every sense and will affect a good many interests, including your camranr. T am elad to hear auch (rood accounts cf your progress in the affairs of the company, of which I have alwavs been proud to be a member. Tn haota vnnra trnlff J. G. Blaise. "Warren Fisher, Jr., Esq. DAMAGING AD.ULS-ilOXS. IChicaso Tribune, June S, 1S7k In regard to the Spencer rifle contract, it appear tbat Blaine before he entered Congress entered into a bargain for making a sale to the Government, through Simon i Cameron, then Secretory of War, and that he assisted in securing legislation to the 3un Company, enabling them to escape paying taxes on the arms, after he became a member of Congress. It also appears from his own letters that he took 10.000 worth of Spencer ride stock, for which he gave Fisher his note; that as late as 137'- this note had not been paid, but in a letter to Fisher in that year Blaine claimed that the dividends, running all through these years and embracing b;s entire Congressional career, had cancelled the note, yielded to him some thousands of dollars cash and left Fisher indebted to bim some thousands more. It seems that Blaine admits, then, in his own letters, that he received tbe stock without fsviu cash for it. and that he drew dividends on the stock all the time he was in Congress and while he was asiisting the company in securing legislation t3 avoid paying their taxes. 9CLAIKE 8TATM AX ACCOCXT. Personal.! Augusta, Me., August 1, Mr I)f.a Mr. Fruit, a On ray return home yesterday Ifound your favor of the !th from Ütomtigton. asking for my notes, fG.000, on account It seems to be that a partial settlement of our matter would only lead xi future trouole at all events to more postpone ment of our present difficulties. I deem it highly desirable that we should have a con elusive settlement, and I have been eager for tbat these three months. The account which you stated. Juno :.'"), 1872, does not correspond with the reckoning I have ni.tde of bit indebtedness on the note you hold. Von credit me, April i'ü. li!i. with $12."00 dividend from the Spencer Company, but there were two subsequent dividends of S3. 750, the other of $',S0J. of which no mention is made in your statement, though I re ceived in June, IJ70, your check for $2.700 or f30O,wbich was apart ofjthese dividends I believe. I think my cash memorandum of June 2 for $2 "00, with which you charge me, represented at the time part of these dividends, but, being debted with that. that I am entitled to a credit of the dividend. In other words, as I reckon it, there are dividends amounting to f!),550 due me, with interest since June, 1870, of which I re ceived only $2.700 or $2.800. entitling me thus to a credit of some f ,00. ' HE CA5 tSI LITTLE BOCK. Besides, the cash memoranda, January f, . IVA. f GOO. with enterest amounting to $J01, was obviously included in the consolidated note which was given to represent all my indebtedness to you, and which you repeat-

edly assured would be met and liquidated in good time fey the Spencer dividends. If the goOO cash is so important to you, I would be ßlad to assist in racing the same for you on our notes, using Little Bock bonds as collateral at tbe same rate they are used in Boston four to one. I think I could get tbe

money here en four or six months on these terms. It I bai the money myself I would be glad to advance to you. but I am as dry as a contribution box borrowing money to defray my rampaign.'expenses. Veryjsincerely vours, J. G. Blaise. Warren Fisher, Jr., Bsq., Boston. ANXIOUS TO BETTLK. Priyate and Personal. Mr Dear Mr. Fisheb No peron could be more anxious for a settlement than I am, and if upon your next interview we can not reach 'one why then we must try other mean. But my judgment is that I shall make you so liberal an oiler of settlement tbat vou can not pesaibly refuseit. As one of ths elements which I wish to take into account is a note of $10,000 given you in 1803 for Spencer stock. I desire tLat you will furnish me with items ot interest on tbat note which you still hold that vou did not charge me interest, possibly omitting one or two years. I will be obliged if you will give me information on this point, for I intend to submit to you a full and explicit statement, and in making it np it is necessary that 1 should have this informtion. B J ease send it as promptly as you may be able to give it to me. In haste, very truly yours, J. G. Blaise. Warren Fisher, Jr., Esq. THE NATIONAL, CAPITAL. Oar Usual Weekly Illustrated Itadget from Washington. Washington, Oct. 3. "The one man in this country who knows most about this Egyptian situation," said a gentleman of experience on the dark continent to your correspondent "the one man of all this country who knows most about the Sou Ian is right here in Washington. He has traveled all over it, thousands of miles, on camel back, in command of Egyptian troops has, in fact, spent years in that country, and made it a study as no other American and very few, if any, Europeans have done.' Seme inquiries and investigations proved the statement, which appeared a rather enthusiastic one, to be probably correct. General R. E. Colston, formerly of the Confeder ate Army, was far six years a By in the tgyptian army, and during that time commanded two military expeditions in the very country now the scene of operations, beiLg a considerable period at Khartoum, where General Gordon now is, and having for a long time bis headqnsrters at El Oaeid, now tbe headquarters of hi Mahdi. He was one of several American oiheers who accepted positions in the Egpptian service some years ago, remaining la that service, as did uiot of them, until England laid her band on Egyptian affairs, ordering a reduc tion in the force and expense?, which was considered a signal for resignation, not atone by the American othcers there but by tbe Europeans as well. "It was easy to see,' sid General Gnlston, who was found at the library of the Surgeon General a, where be is now in charge; "it was easy to see that with England taking the part in Egyptian affairs tbat she proposed to take, there might arise complications which would make it unpleasant and perhaps improper that representatives of other nations should continue in the service ihere, and the result was the resignation of nearly or quite all the foreign officers in the employ of the Khedive." "What do you think of the situation there now. General?" "That is a pretty large question," he answered with a smile, "The situation is so complicated and the issues so grave. It is easy to tell what ought not to be done and what is impracticable, but not so easy to say what ought to be done or what is the most practicable thing. "ion are quite familiar with the country. Ceneral?" "WelL" he replied, with a little touch of satisfaction, "having spent some years in it. traveled several thousand miles over it by camels, encountered some of the difficulties which the proposed rescuing party must encounter in still greater force, seen the people with whom they have to deal and their peculiarities, I suppose I might be said to be tolerably laminar witn the situation." "And do you think it possible for the British Government to rescue Gordon, surrounded as he is at Khartoum with the hostile tribes of that desert country to which the troops that will be sent are quite un accustomed?'1 "To British pluck and British gold almost anything is possible; though whether it will be possible for any human agency to reach him before the Mahdi gains sufficient strength to capture him nobody can telL. A force large enough to rescue him, or even to protect itself, can not make the trip from Loudon to Khartoum in twenty days as Gordon did. He is a man of wonderful energy, and made that trip in less time than ever it was made before. Nobody but Chines Gordon would have accomplished it as he did. He was in London, preparing to go to the Congo country for the Belgian Government, when he was asked one morning by the British Government if he would go to Khartoum. He replied tbat be would if he could get leave from the Belgian Government. He telegraphed lor permission, received a favorable response, accepted the British commission to Khartoum, and before night was on the way. Nobody but Chines? Gordon would have done that" "Do von know him personally ?'' "Very well. A short, florid Scotchman, with hair and beard pretty strongly mixed with gray, peculiar in his manner almost to 'crankiness,' with an iron Scotch determination and pluck, and thoroughly familiar with tbe people and country where he is. It was his former long service there that led the British government to select htm for this service when the rebellion of El Mahdi .nade it necessaay to send their best man there. Gordon was, you know, Governor General of KEY COLSTOX. that Province some years ago. He was popular with the people there, because he rendered every man his due, but was unpoular witn the government, because by this process be did not return to tbe Treasury as much as some who had preceded him. It was because of this, however knowing hew popular his honeaty has made him with the people there tbat he was selected as the only man who could prevent the Mahdi from gaining complete control over them." "And now that his rescue is necessary?'' "Of course it must be accomplished, by whatever is the most practicable plan. Eng

land stands committed to thia. The only Question is what tbe most practicable plan is. have had a theory of my own, all along, that tbe be it and easiest and quickest, and leas; expensive way that this could be done would be through King John of Abyssinia. His people are inat as indomitable warriors as the Bedouins, by whom Gordon is surrounded and whom his rescuers mutt fight They are accustomed to the hardships of life in tbe desert there, as any other force that can be had would not be. "I hey are "Christians," and therefore would not' have any scruples about fighting the Mahdi and his followers, and lastly, they are anx'ous for an outlet from their country to the Bed Bea, which England could give tnem along with a good sum of money for this service if she chose. England has usually proven quite liberal in giving away other people's property, and while her claim to the section between Abyasiaiaand the II d Sea might not be entirely well established it is probably such that she would attempt to give title by giving King John the port of Massowah and a strip of coast with it, and paying h' small percentage of what this expedition up .the Nile is to cost. He wonld do tbe irk in much less time than the expedition can possibly do it, and for less expense of money or life." ''What is the expedition up the Nile to cost, do you suppose V "I see tbat the estimates on it are eight million pounds, or forty million dollars, but of course the estimates always fall abort of the real cost." "And how long is it going to take this expedition to reach him?" "Ah. that la hard to answer. It is a Ion;, long distance up the Nile, and that is the proposed route. From Cairo to the second cataract it can be navigated by small steamers; this is 700 miles. Then after this there comes another 700 miles of the river that can not be navigated. It is full of cataracts, and

BEV PYE. rapids, and sand bais and rocks. Only tbe little country boats along there attempt to navigate it The only practicable way to cover tbia 700 miles will be by marching along the river. This second 700 miles carries you to Berber. From that place to Rhartouoi, some 225 miles, the river is navieable at times for small steamers, which bave been carried there in pieces on camels' baeüs and put together. But to transport an army by this process wonld, of course, be difficult, if not impossible, and especially at the season of low water, which will be at band before the army can get there. Thus it appears that a very large proportion of tue 1.G00 or 1,7(H) miles between Cairo and Khartoum must be marched over bad roads, exposed to tbe attacks of hostile tribes who know the country thoroughly, and go pretty well armed, and are Dever fatigued. It must be nearly or quite the end of the year before a rescuing army can reach Khartoum. It seems scarcely possible that Gordon could hold out all that time. Yet the recent dia patches indicate that he haa done some rASH A STONE. pretty effective service on the river at Khartoum, and that may be able to keep him supplied with provisions, for the valley above Khartoum is very fertile, and tbe supplies of wheat and cattle are almost unlimited.' "But are there no nearer and quicker ways of reaching Khartoum?" "Yes. there are two nearer routes. One of theee is to go by the Bed Sea, which is rtecbed in four davs from Cairo, and which is by the traveled route only 240 miles from Berber, which city, as I said, is hut 225 miles down the river from Khartoum. That looks like an easy route, doesn't it? All by rail and steamship except 249 miles. Well, that 240 miles Is tbe 'rub.' It is across a desert, with no water except in wells, sometimes several davs march apart, and only sufficient when reached to supply a few hundred men. To march an army across there without water weuld of course be impossible, while to carry water for the whole distance would be as impossible as it would be to gain tbe supply from the wells, which can supply but a few hundred. I have often bad to wait at these wells several days to get en ueh water for my force of a few hundred men.' How, then, could they be of sufficient value for an army of thousands, such as would be required to rescue Gordon? Why, Hicks Taeba bad 0000 camels, most ot them to carry water, and yet could carry but one day's supply. There is another route, but it is so" much worse tbon tbia that it is out of the question. It is across a bed of sand, without an object in sight to mark the way, except tbe bones of camels and oxen which have perished upon it. I bave counted in passing over this trail 400 skeletons to the mile. Indeed, they average from sixty in the best portion of the trail up to 400 in the worst, and the distance is nine days' march." "But, General, would not King John, whom you suggest as the instrument for the raving of Gordon, have all these difficulties to encounter and surmount?" "No, for his country is nearer to Kbartaum, and in the region watered by the rains which fall in the upper Nile Valley. He could move down tbe Blue Nile to Khartoum very readily. Besides that tbe people rf his cöuntrv are just aa indomitable warr ors aa tbe Bedouins who roam over those deserts accustoming themselves to go fortyeight hours without water and to endure a thousand inconveniences tnat render that whole section what it is, a graveyard for Europeans." Major Dye, the present Chief of rolice of Washington, who was also a Bay in the Egyptian army and engaged in active service in Abyssinia, speaks in equally high terms of the fighting qualities of tbe Abysinians, having had ireaueat opportunity to

test it dnring Lis military service in that country.

A a Indorsement of Senator Voorhees' Statement In His Recent Wortblnfton Speech Annihilating the Grandson of HU Grandfather. I Communicated. J We commend to the consideration of General Ben Harrison the following extract from the speech delivered by Colonel R. W. Thompson in the city of Terre Haute, August 11, 1S5Ö: "In 1S40, you (the Whigs) told the country what you understood by abolitionism.

They then arrayed, in parallel col urns, the sentiments and votes of Mr. Van Buren and those of General (W. II. H.) Harrison, that the people might see how the former was an Abolitionist, and how the latter was not, but was just such a State's right man as they ought to vote for for the Presidency.

You condemned and denounced him for voting, in the New York Legislature, for a preamble and resolution which asserted tbat the extension of slavery should be inhibited. You condemned and denounced him for asserting in the same preamble and resolution that tbe Constitution gives Congress tbe right to require of new States, not comprehended within the original boundaries of the United States, the prohibiting of slavery as a condition ef their admission into the Union. For all this you condemned and,'denounced him as an Abolitionist, and condemned his doctrines as threatening tbe Union with dissolution. You arraigned him at .the bar of public opinion for these political heresies, and you held him up in your hands aa a thing to be bated of men and scorned by every patriot in the laid. "You called upen the country to observe tbe contrast between him and the old hero of Tippecanoe, whom you presented as a statesman and pa triot, to be safely trusted, because of that contrast. You told them that Harrison had voted against the Missouri restriction; that he denounced even the discussion of the subject of emancipation in the non-slave-holding States as unconstitutional; tbat he denounced the practice of holding meetings and publishing speeches la the free

States against the domestic institutions of the South as unconstitutional; that he denounced the claims of the emancipators as weak, presumptuous and unconstitutional : that he denied the Constitutional right of Congress to abolish slavery in the States or to interfere with the property of the citizens in their slaves; that he denied to Congress the right to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia. You presented General Harrison to tbe country as a fit man for the Presidency, aa a patriot in whose hands the fortunes of the Union might be con filed, because he bad entertained and expressed these State rights doctrines. The first time I ever came to this city was in 1810, when I was a Whig candidate for elector. I then found this publication, almost fresh from the pres, and in the first speech I ever made in this house it furnished the text of what I said. I recollect the occasion well, and I recollect how I was applauded for my earnest devotion to the Whig principles which are here S reclaimed. Poor Van Buren! How we id pummel bim for his abolitionism. Not only here, but everywhere, all over the Slate, in every nook and earner ot it, we denounced him as an Abolitionist. And we brought down upon his head such a storm of rebuke that even the indorsement of Jackson could not save him. And for my participation in this great con test for, 1 suppose, the industry with which I labored to fasten this charge of abolitionism upon Van Buren you, when I was camparatively a strai'ger to you, elected me to Congress in 1841. And you elected me, not because you knew much about me personally, but because I entertained and defended the opinions of General Harrison." Such was tbe language of Colonel 11. W. Thompson (now one of tbe leaders of the Republican psrty ) nearly a third of a century apo, in defending William Henry Harrison and the principles of tbe Whig party. We advise the pompcus grandson of his illustrious grandfather to take a thorough course of reading in tbe political history of his country, and then perhaps this vanquished opponent of "Blue Jeans" Williams will learn to t peak of the great Democratic party in terms of respect. More than forty years ago your grandfather was regarded as the Pro-Slavery Whig candidate for the Presidency. We strongly advi.-e you to take lessons in pilitical history from your friend Colonel Ii. W. Thompson. Colonel Thompson's address is Terre Haute. He-will be glad to give you lessons. E. Sullivan, Ind., September 17, 1S3I. DISKASKO UOGS Beins Slaughtered in Ma rj land and Shipped to Baltimore. Baltimore, Oct. 2 Tbe Day this afternoon says: "Dr. Robert Ward, State Veterinary Surgeon, has telegraphed Goyeror McLane asking authority to quarantine against hogs in Montgomery, Frederick, Washington, Carroll and Baltimore Couoties. A part of the result of Dr. Ward's visit to Hagerstown, on Tuesday, was to learn that a large number of hogs, which became infected with a disease now prevalent in tbe above counties, were being slaughtered and shipped to this city. So far none of the meat has been put upon the market, and it is thought consignees have salted it away for future sales. A prominent merchant of Frederick, in a recent letter to a public official here, informs him that large quantities of diseased hogs have been shipped from points in Frederick County to thia city. Hralth Commissioner Stewart gave the opinion that tbe disease was akin to diphtheria. It is stated that Governor Hamilton's steward, who assisted in examining some of the dead animals, is no w suffering with a badly diseased sore throat, which be ascribes to contact with them.'
