I am, without doubt, the only person who has paid money for bonds without receiving them, and think yoa will agree with me that I have fared pretty roughly. It would be an immense, immeasurable relief to me if I coaiel receive the money in time to pay off the indebtedness here within the next six weeks, so that I can go to Washington this winter with the load taken off my shoulder*.

MT DKAH MB. FISH BR: I write Mr. Caldwell this day, earnestly asking him to relieve me from the very pressing and painful embarrassment entailed upon me by raising the money I loaned to you and him last winter.

Mr. Caldwell has paid me $6,000 there remains $19,000 due, with considerable interest there is due also to me, under contract with you, $70,000 land bonds and $32,000 first mortgage. Retaining in my possession the $50,000 land bonds as collateral to the note, there is still due to me $20,000 land bonds, and first mortgage $32,000. I have already made one proposition for settlement, to which I call Mr. Caldwell's attention. I must have the matter settled in some way, and at once. Pray communicate with me on the matter.

Sincerely yours,

J.G.BLAIWB.

W. FISHBR, Jr., Esq. F. S.—It is very important to me that 1 have some bonds next week. If you don't accept the proposition I have made, supon consider this: Let me retain the ads now in possession as satisfaction for loaned money, and you pay me the $70,000 land bonds, and $32,000 first mortgage due to me under the contract. I do not make this proposition to be bound by it I merely suggest it. But 1 must havj the matter settled in some way quickly. xxrv.

If you have given any to parties at Washington or disposed of them to others, it is no concern of mine, and, of course, must be accounted for in any settlement hereafter. I remain yours, etc., W.

But tow can I do this with parties who have paid their money earnestly demanding of me the consideration proosised by me, which I am not able to give because I do not receive the bonds to which I am en* titled by contract? I am read/ to reoeive kind of rsaa unable imposition you ma§ wfke. It is not a question of money making with me. It is simply a questios of saving my word with others. I wifl

UT DBAB BLAIHB: I am ia receipt of pour favor of the 8th inst, from which I am led to infer that the contracts I made to jour Eastern friends have not been fulfilled en my part hut such is net the fact, as I have delivered each and mry one of them all the securities, in aoooraanoe with the contracts, and they have surrendered to me my obligations. Ton are well aware of the condition of the road and that you have received your foil proportion ox the bonds to which you were entitled under the Eastern contracts, when you consider the length of the road only completed. I think you can readily see that I can make no proposition further than, as the road progresses, to deliver you bonds in accordance. I know but lit* tie of your obligations to deliver bonds to others but, taking into account the $100000 Nnds vou sola to Tom Scott, and thr amount of money you received on the East em contracts, our relative positions financially in the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad bear a wide contrast Mr. Caldwell is here, but I have not seen him still 1 presume he has paid proper attention to your letter addressed to him.

WAIHIHGTO'N, D. C., April 13th, 1872. MT DBAB MR. FISHBB: I have your favor of the 12th. I am not prepared to pay any money just now in any direction, being so cramped and pressed that I am absolutely unable to do so. Please send me a copy of the notes of mine held by you with indorsed payments thereon.

I would have been glad, instead of a demand upon me for payment of notes, if yeu had proposed a general settlement of all matters between us that remain unadjusted. There is still due to me on articles of agreement between us $70,000 inland bonds and $31,000 in first mortgage bonds, making $101,000 in all. For these bends, the money was paid you nearly three years ago, and every other party HP6**0* bonds on same basis has long sinoe received its full quota. I alene am left hopeless and helpless, so far as I can see. Then there is the $25,0U) which I borrowed and Mid over, under yonr orders, to Mr. Pratt, or which I ha:e *«o*ived no pay. Mr. Caldwell paid me a small fraction of the amount, as I supposed hut he now the moi.«y he paid me must be credit* another-account, on which he urns my debtor, and that he denies all responsibility, past, present or future en the $25,000, far payment of which I must, he says, look solely to you. I only knowthat I.delivered the money to Mr. Pratt en yonr written order. I still owe the money ia Maine, and am carrying the uieater part of it at 8 percent, nearly $2,000 per annum tteady draw on mv resources, which are slendet enough without this burden.

Still further, I left with Mr.

There are other matters to which I would, refer, but my letter is alreadjr long. I do not think, under the circumstance^ that it would be quite wise or kind in yes to place any note or notes of mine, which may happen to be in your possession, in the hands of third parties as collateral.

In any event I ask as a simple favor that yon will not do so. and that you will send me by return mail a oopy of all obligations of mine in your possession.

Mrs. Blaine joins me in very kind regards to Mrs. Fisher, and in the expression of the hope that you may have a pleasant and profitable tour in Europe. Sincerely yours,

BOSTON, April 15th, 1872.

MT DBAR BLAINB: Tour favor of the 13th inst reached me this morning. I am surprised at its- contents. I have loaned you, at various times, when you were comparatively poor, very large sums of money, and never have you paid me one dollar from your own pocket either principal or interest I have paid sundry amounts to others to whom you are indebted, and these debts you have allowed to stand unpaid, like the notes which I hold. I have placed you in positions whereby you have received very large sums of money without one dollar of expense to you, and you ought not to forget the act on my part Of all the parties connected with tne Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad, no one has been so fortunate as yourself in obtaining money out of it. Tou obtained subscriptions from your friends in Maine for the building of the little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad. Out of their subscriptions you obtained a large amount both or bonds and money free of cost |o you. I have your own figures, and know the amount Owing to your political position you were able to work off all your bondsata very high price, and the Caet is well known to ethers as well as myself. Would your friends in Maine be satisfied if tajj^knew the Cute? Are asy

Ton are aa wen aware as I am that the bonds are due me under the contract Could I have these I could adjust many matters not now in my power and so long as- this and other matters remain unadjusted between us I do not recognise the equity or the lawfulness of your calling on me for a partial settlement I am ready at any moment to mate a frill, fair, comprehelisive settlement with you en the most liberal terms. I will not be exacting or captious or critical, but am ready and eage to make a broad and generous adjustment with you and if we can't agree ourselves, we can select a mutual friend, irho can easily compromise all points of difference between us.

This was im-

Mnble, and I, therefore, oould do nothing it wait Nothing I oould write would mnke my obligation plainer than the memorandum younold. Nothing you oould write would change my obligation under that memorandum.

The matters between us are all perfectly plain and simple, and I am ready to settle them all comprehensively aad libemlly. I am not willing to settle thoee that benefit you and leave to the chances of the future Hiose that benefit me.

I am willing .to forego and give up a great deal for the sake of a friendly settlesaent and 1 retain a oopy- of this letter as evidence of the spirit of the offer I make.

WASHINGTON, AprS 96th, 1872. MT DEAR MR. FISHBB: Tours of the 34th received. There seems to be one eat error of fact un-^r which you are laring in regard to nij ability to comply with your request about the $10,000 letter ef credit. I would gladly get it for you if 1 were able but I have aot the means. 1 have no power of getting a letter of credit from Jay Cooke except by paying the money for it and the money I hat* not got, ana have no means of getting it. You ask me to do, therefore, what is simply impossible. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to serve you if 1 were {able but my losses in the Fort Smith affair have entirely crippled me and deranged all my finances. You would, I know, be utterly amazed if you could see tbe precise experience I have had in that matter. Very bitter, 1 assure

rou. Among other things, I still owe nearall of the $25,000 which I delivered to Mr. Pra&t, and this is the most harassing and embarrassing to me.

If you will give me the $76,500 of bonds which I propose to throw off as payment of the notes which you say 1 owe you. I will gladly get your $10,000 letter of credit but if I release those bonds to you, as 1 propose, you can do the same for yourself.

I am at a loss to know what you mean by your repeated phrase tl^t havt denied everything." What hate I deniedt I do not so much as understand what you mean and would be glad to have you explain.

Tou reject the name of Ward Cheney as a friendly referee. Please suggest a name

AUGUSTA, MB., Aug. 9th, 1872.

MT DBAB MR. FISHBB: On my return home yesterday I found your favor of 6th, from Stoningten, asking for my notes, $6,000 on aooount It seems to me that a ial settlement of our matter would only to'future {rouble, or, at all events, to a postponement of our present dimcul- *.

I deem it highly desirable that we should have a conclusive and comprehensive settlement end 1 have been eager for that these many months.

The account which you stated June 20th, 1872, does not correspond precisely with the reckoning I have made of my indebtedness en the note you hold. Tou credit me, April 26th, 1869, with $12,500 dividend from Spencer Company: but there were two subsequent dividends, one of $3,750, the other of $5,800, of which no mention is made in your statement though I received in June, 1870, your check for $2,700 or $2,800, which was apart of these dividends, I believe. I think my "cash memorandum" of June 25th, 1869, for. $2,500, wnh which you charge me, represented at a time apart of the dividenun but being debited with that I apt entitled to a|credit of the dividend.

In other words, as I reckon it there are dividends amounting to $9,550 doe ma with interest since June, i670, of whid Save received only $2,700 or $2,800, ev titling me thus to a credit of some $7,500.

Besides the cash memorandum January, 9th, 1864, $600, which, with ini amounts to $904.10, was obviously incli in the consolidated note which was given to represent all ray indebtedness to you. aad which you repeatedly assured me would be met and liquidated in good time by 8penoer dividends.

Tou will thussse that we differ materially as to the figures. Of course, each of us is aiming at precisely the facts of the case lam wrong, please correct me. that you ao net desire me to pay a dollar that is not due aad I am equally rare that lam more than ready to pay every cent that I owe yeu.

The little Rock matter is a perpetual aad never-ending embarrassment to me. I am pressed dsuy almost to make final settlement with those who still hold the securities, a settlement I am not able to make until I receive the bends due on your article ef agreemsnt with BM. That is to me by for the most urgent and pressing of all the demands connected with our matten, and the sne which I think in aD equity should be first settled, or certainly sstttod as soon as any.

If the $6,000 cash is so important to yon, I would be glad to assist in raising- the same for you on your notes, using little Rock bonas as oollateral at the same rate they are used in Boston, four for -one. I think I could get the money here on four or six months on these terms. If I had the money myself I would be glad to advance it to you but I am as dry as a contribution box, borrowing, indeed, to defray iny campaign expensss.

Very sincerely yonn, J. G. BLAINB.

AUGUSTA, Me., Aug. 31st, 1872. MT DBAR MR. FISHBR: 1 have been ab «en£ so much of late that I did not receive your last letter until it was several days old. When 2 last wrote you I was expecting to be in Boston on a political conference about this time: but I found it impossibli to be there, aau it is now impossible for me to leave here until after our election, which occurs Monday week, the 9th. I will try to meet you at the Parker House on the 2$th or lltb, availing myself of the first pceriWe moment for that purpose.

I caanot however, allow a remark in yonr letter to pass without comment. Tou say that yon have been trying to get a settlement with for fifteen months. Tou hare been trying to induce me to comply with certain demands which you made upon me, without taking into account any claims I have ef a oounter kind. This does not fill my idea ef a settlement for a settlement must include both si

No person oould be more settlement than I am and if, next interview, we cannot reach «», why then we try other means.

But my judgment is that 1 shall make yon so liberal an offer of settlement that you cannot possibly refuse it

As one of the elements whidh I wish to take into account is the note of $10,000, given you in 1863, for Spencer stock, I desire that you will furnish me with the items of interest on that note. My impression that when the note was consolidated into the large note, which vou still hold, »ec full interest possibly

did not charge me fulT interest omitting one or two years. I will be obliged if you'

formation on this point for I intend to

The following is the enclosure referred to in the preoeding letter. BOSTON, April —, 187$. The Hon. JAMBS G. BLAINB, Washington,

D.C.: I DBAR SIR: I observe that osrtein:

,pers are making, or rather iasinua absurd charge that yod own or MM owned $150,000 of Little Rock aad Smith Railroad hoods, aad that you had it some way obtained them as a gratuity.

The enterprise of building the LittiB Rock & Fort Smith Railroad Was undertaken in 1869 by a company of Boston gentlemen, of whom I was myself one. The bonds of the road were put upon the market in this city, on what was deemed v«9 advantageous terms to the purchaesr. Thsy were sold larsely through myseK Tou became the purchaser of about $30,000 of the bonds on precisely the samt terms that every other buyer received, paying for them in installments, running ores a considerable period, just as others did. The transaction was perfectly open, and there was n& more secrecy in regard to .than if you had been buying flour or sugar, 1 am sure you never owned a bond of thl wind that you did not pay for at the markat rate. hdH, I ae ici thai no one** ceived bonds OK any other terms.

When the road got into finnncial difficulties, aad loss fell upon you, you still retained your bonds, mid you held them dear through to the re-organisation of the company in 1874, exchanging them for stock aad bonds of the new company.

Ton acquired, also, some demands against the new company by reason of your having joined with others raising sea* money when the company was in pressing need. For the reoovery of that moncty are now pending in the United

Circuit Court Arkansas, to which you are openly party of record. Concealment or the investment and everything connected with it would have been very enqr hud concealment been desirable bis your action in fV whole matter was as open and as fair as the day. When the original enterprise foiled, 1 knew with what severHj the pecuniary lore fell apon you, and with whist integrity aad nerve you met it Team having since elapoed. it seems rather hard, st this late day, to be •compelled to meet a slander in a matter where your conduct was, in the highest depree, honorable and straightforward. Tou. may this letter in any way that it will servios to you.

Very sincerel^rours,

F.. JB.
