The History of llie $10,000 Transaction With tli« Union Pacific Railroad—A

Scandal that Was Hushed up to Nave Blaine"* Election—How Ames

Bnried it Again.

Fron the New York Sun.

Washington, April 12.—The story about ex-Speaker Blaine having received $64,000 from the Union ±Tcific Railroad Company, which was started by the friends of Senator Morton, has created a good deal of excitement here to-day. It is strenuously denied by Mr. Biaine's friends, and as emphatically affirmed by the parties interested in pulling down the ex-Speaker. They say that the story as printed in the Indianapolis Sentinel is correct, so far as it goes, but that it gives only a part of the facts in their possession. The following is substantially the whole story as it is told here

The entry in the minutes of the Executive Committee of the United Wtates Pacific Railroad Company is as follows

Meeting of Executive Committee, New York, Dec. 1G, 1871—Ordered, that Morton, Bliss & Co. be authorized to draw on the treasurer of this company for $64,000, payable forty days from date, and hold as collateral security for the company 75 land grant bonds of the Little Bock and Fort Smith Railroad Company bonds, $1,000 each.

The Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad Company was endowed with a land grant, under the provisions of the act of Congress entitled. "An act granting the right of way and making a grant oi land to the States of Arkansas and Missouri, to aid in the construction of a railroad from a point on the Mississippi river opposite the mouth of the Ohio river, via Little Rock, to the Texas bouudary near Fulton in Arkansas, with branches to Fort Smith and the Mississippi river,which was approved February 9, lS5o. This act was revised and its grant of land renewed by another act of Cougress, passed July 28,1866.

THE CLAYTON RING S ROAD. Under this last act the Little Rock and Fort Smith Sailroad Company obtained from the State of Arkansas a grant of land, but before it built its first twenty miles, as it was required to do under the act of July 2b, 1866, the time had expired hence the act was passed on April 10,1869, extending the time three years

from

the

20th of May, 1867, the time at which the certificate of organization of tbe company was filed with the Secretary of the State of Arkansas. But this act of April 10, 1869, contained the following provise:

Provided, That the land granted by the act hefceby revived shall be sold to actual settlers only, quantities not greater\than one-quarter of a section to one purchaser, aud for a price not exceecmig $2.50 per acre.

uealing the proviso in the actor April io 1S69. /'When it came to the |meu Hmi«e Mri Julian. from

tbe

mU ee'oVPublic

Lands, called it up

its passage. Mr. Holman

tana opposed it, but it weut It is as follows: enacted, &c., That the proviso act entitled an act to extend the the Little Rock & Fort Smith Railroad Company to complete thy

section of twenty miles of said road, approved April 10, 1869, bo aud tbe same is hereby repealed.

The Little Reck and I?ort Smith railroad company had been organized under a charter obtained from the State of Arkansas, and tbe day of incorporation was May 30, 1867. The Clayton Ring it is said, were largely interested in it and they issued "land grant bonds which were sold in, Boston on very favorable terms. It is alleged that Mr Blaine became the possessor of $do0,000 of these bonds, and certain parties Ironi Arkansas declare that he obtained them without giving a consideration therefor. This

Mr.

Blaine denies, and

says ho holds a receipt showing that the bonds were regularly purchased through a broker, and that the price paid therefor was the rate at which they were placed upon the market bv the company in Boston. Tne company defaulted on the interest on these bonds, the mortgage was foreclosed, and the bondholders became the purchasers. There are proceedings in the United States Circuit Court at

Little Rock, affecting the title" ol tbe bondholders to the road, and Blaine's friends say that his appears on the record as one ol tne narties to the suit. Thdy point to tins lact as an evidence that bis connection with the company was not acrooKea one or he wouid not have dared go into court in this way.

HOW BliATNB GOT THK §54,000. However, his enemies say that it being admitted that he was the owner of a large number of the bonds of the

.shW-'

•i T.!r, T.V

Little Rock aDd Fort Smith Railroad Company, makes the transaction with the Union Pacific Railroad Company all tbe more difficult te explain. That transaction they say was as follows: Blaine gave seventy-five bonds of the Little liock and Fort Smith Railroad Company to Thomas A. Scott, the President of the Union Pacigc Railroad Company who gave him therefore $61,000 that Scott took these bonds to Morton, Bliss A Co., and pledged them as collateral security for $64,000 which he gave Blaine, Morton, Bl'sa »fc Co. advancing the money on Scott's note. This note Scott failed to pay, aud accordingly he had the .Executive Committee of the Union Pacific Raihoad Company make the order above quoted in order to get the money for Morton, Bliss fc Co This was on December 16,1871, and in September, 1871, alter the publication in the Sun of the Credit Mobilier scandal, there was a meeting of the directors of the Union Pacific railroad Company, and it as stated that the bonds of the Little Rock fc Port Smith railroad company were comparatively worthless and that the Union Pacific railroad company had not received the benefit of the §64,000 which Morton, Bliss & Co. had advanced on them. Thereupon Mr. Harrison, who was then one of the Government, directors, offered a resolution calling for a committee to investigate the matter and report who received this money and all the circumstances connected with the transaction. The moment this was doue, IS. IT. Rollins, treasurer of the company, came quietly to Mr. Harrison and asked him to withdraw his resolution, assigning as his reason therefor that an investigation would invelve Mr. Blaine and defeat his reelection. Mr. Harrison withdrew his resolution, but he was so curious about the matter that the next day he went to Rollins, in company with another governmept director, and asked him if he really meant the day before to say that the investigation of the §64,000 matter would implicate Mr. Blaine. Rollins said "Yes and appeared very much' delighted that he had succeeded so well in hushing it up. While Horace Clark was President of the Union Pacific Railroad Co._, ho bopan to stir up this old transaction, and Oliver Ames, it is said, agreed if nothing more was said about it be would take the Little Rock and Fort Smith bonds and give the Union Pacific $25,000 cash, which offer was accepted.

This version of the story about Blane's connection with the transaction, it will be observed, i* not met at all by the letter which he published from Morton, Bliss & Co., and E. H. Rollins. He may, however, be able to givo a quietus to the scandal in lhis new form as soon as he is given the opportunity.

It is also stated that a English residents d(aired annexation of Samoa to the British colonies, which will be accomplished if the United State does notinterfere that Foster, the American counsel, backs them up against his own countrymen, and that the whole trouble arises from the interference of Sceinberger with their designs that natives have great laith in Americans and desire their protection.

A.T.STEWART.

Some Stray Facts Concerning the Great Merchant Prince.

From tbe New York Sua. HIS START IN BUSINESS. A friend of Mr. Stewart related an anecdote yesterday which showed the methods that the merchant adopted when carrying on a smtll business to increase the number of his customers. Mr. Stewart made inquiries among his friends and learned the name and residence of the leader of fashionable society in the city and also the church that she attended. He then sought out the sexton of the church and leased a pew directly in front of that of the lady. Regularly Sunday after Sunday thereafter, he sat in his seat and took part iu the worship. A few months passed, and one Sunday as the congregation was about leaving the church it suddenly begau to rain. The fashionable lady had a carriage, but the sidewalk between the church door and th9 road was wide, and she stopped irresolutely at the door upon perceiving the drops of rain, dreading injury to her costly dress. The freduent mist and rain of Ireland had caused Mr. Stewart to form the habit of carrying an umbrella all the days of the year, and he bad one on this day. Raising it he told the lady he would shelter her beneath it until she could walk lo her carriage, if she would accept the service. The proffer was accepted he took her to tbe carriage, and was heartily thanked, The following Sunday, after the service, she addressed him and again thanked him for his kindness. A short cocversation followed, aud oc» caeioually on Sundays that succeeded, as they were coming out of church, a few words passed between them. While talking with a member of the church one day the lady learned Mr. Stewart's occupation, and the next time she met him said: "Mr. Stewert, have you any arti

at your store that you think I would like to buy?" "No," he replied "I don't think I have anything." "I would like to aid you in your business in some way." "You can in this way I have noticed that your coachman exercises your horses every day, and you not cariBg always to take a ride, I presume, the carriage is frequently empty. If on the days when you do not wish to uee the carriage will you

APRIL

order

your coachman to take it to my store and remain in front of the store for half an hour, you will do me a good turn,"

The lady was amused at Mr. Stewart's suggestion, and cheerfully granted the request. The frequent appearance of the carriage in front of the store, and the presumptive presence at tbe fashionable owner of it withi» the store was 600U noticed by other wo'men, and Mr. Stewart's scheme was speedily successful. Carriage after carriage stopped before the store, and the stream of fashion was started that has since run ceaselessly in and out its doors.

RELATIONS WITH HIS EMPLOYES. Personally Mr. Stewart was a very unassuming man. He dressed plainly and with good taste, and never wore rings or diamonds. The only, costly article he carried about was a gold watch, and this was not fastened to a chain, but to a black cord. If he saw one of hisclerks displaying much jewelry, this was considered sufficient cause by him to establish an inquiry into the habit, ol the mab, tbe amount of his salary and his mode of living, If his salary and circumstances did not warrant such an outlay, Mr. Stewart would have a watch 6et on bis actions, and the result in many cases proved that the clerk was dishonest. Many instances could be recounted in which lie discovered dishonesty iu his clerks by too great a display of jewelry on their part. He was generally lenient with erring: employes, and never prosecuted them if there were any extenuating circumstances. His observation was remarkably keen, and he was quick to observe the slightest irregularity in the arrangement of the different departments of the store, or any slovenliness in the dress of clerks. If a clerk, on the other hand, was dressed too extravagantly Mr. -Stewart often took occasion to offer a gen tie rebuke. As an instance of his dis taste for outward display, it may be mentioned that be was walking through his retail store one day when a massive gold chain and lofket in the buttonhole of one of his clerks at traded his attention. He stepped up to him and said: "Young man if I were you I'd button up my coat on that and, pointing down to his own plain black silk watchcord, he added, "That is the best I can afford to weaa take my advice, and keep that covered up.'*.

ve3tigation to-day, testifying in rela tion to the Kentuckey railroad, and Pendletons relation therewith. He testified that it was a partnership concern, composed of seven members of the board to control, alljof whom were officers. Each member had one vote regardless of the amount of lnteiroKt. j)eath did not cr^te a vacanoy lii the board until thR numberwas reduced to five. The Bowler estate was not represented in the board after his death. Pendleton could not have represented the Bowler interest there, because the Baldwin had no exclusive control over the estate,

place in Cape Haytien on the 4th instant and proved a complete success, tbe whole population rising enmasse, without a dissenting roice. The entire North as far as heard from including Fort Liberti, Scion, Grand River, Lembic -and Plassance have declared in favor "of the revolution. On lheGthof April "rnopi 6f the nortb wore inarohing on

Treasury Departments PorchsseN Washington, April 14.—The treasury department has purchased two months' supply of silver bullion at low rates, which prevailed a few weeks ago, the average pricc paid having been about three cents per ounce less than the present market sale of this stock, together with the bullion fund it is believed to be sufficient for cornage until annual statement at Mints, which will be made in June.

Baby Farming.

Montreal, April 14.—Baby farming business, as carried on in this city, is attracting considerable attention. The Board of Health held a meeting and discussed the subject. It was shown that out of 719 babies received at tbe Gray Nuu Hospital last year, onl 88 survived.

How Splnrjit Took Advantage of Being: Wound Up. Fifteen of us met at the creditors' meeting, gays the Boston Bulletin, to decide upon winding young Splurjit up. He was a jolly, «enial fellow, meant well, but had sold too many goods below cost and to poor customers. His list of debtors disclosed a number that we all knew had been tabooed from the books of every prudent house in our line, and, with Splurjit's long experience in the employ of one of the best houses in the trade, we were surprised at this evidence of fool hardiness. But then, be was "youug," and was "struggling along," and the philanthropic spirits in our meeting thought best to give bim another chance." B. wanted to take back all Splurjit had of his goods unsold at what he, B, had charged him for them. C. D. E: obs jected that B's goods had advanced in price, and all the creditors onght to have the advantage of that rise, and on this emphatic statement twelve of the number at once decide ed to accept from Splurjit ten cents on the doilar. This settled that pro«. ceediug.

Four daysalterwards B, who has a large order in hand, receives word to box anil ship what is finished and unde' way, but get out nothing further. Investigation discloses that Splurgit has been to B's customer and underbid him. usiug the goods he paid ten per cent for, which wanted to take backj at invoice value as the basis for his estimate. Splurjit is a "jolly fellow," you see, and B-—well, he "ain't up to the times," or else he'd be starting afresh with a ten cent stock himself. Do you think there is any moral iu this true story? Do you think the sequel would induce those twelve to rea cant?
