Tbo country uavif'Ktieeii treated to the iukrtatlng r citala of Mr. Blaine, ex Sicre'nry ol Blair, nnl Mr. Sblplieni, Prealdcnt oftlie notorious l'eruvlan Com pany, liave now l,i.ard Irom Henator ninir regarding tils connection with .the iillahmif tlio couch rn nmi It looks as If the Ccmuiltteo on Fortls" Affairs will be lint little. If any wifwr than they wue nt tie outset of tbo iuvisticatton. What bas been dlsclosnl Is sufficient to above that tho State Department wka employ. Ing the prestige of the United Stale to lielti alone to Minriona claims and that the adventurer Shlplierd was no ruoreln terottd In tbo pruious Cocbtt clnini tbau ex-Secretary Wi.lueiu the notorlons Laudreau job. It la tven doubtful whether his own seruuo assurance in malting statements, which have been flatly contradicted by dlslinguUbed wit cceaea like Mr. Kvarta gives him an ad vantage in the championship fur ails, statement over Mr. ltlaine Inblsnphmv Hon of Landrean bminesa, for it U plain that the ci-Sccietiiiydlatorted facts with a recklessness that must bavemado Ship herd creen with envy and palo with alarm lor bis latinls. Having let Mr. Blaine tell M story to salt himielf the con mlttce has been dragged buck to the Sbipbcrd Bide of tbe qntHliou by the volnntaryappearance on the stand of Senator Illuir, the attorney o the Peruvian Ciiiupany,bo made what be called an Impromptu statement from manuscript. If it was hurriedly written, as he claimed it was, he must bnve wait ed to frame a romance after the style of Mr. Blaine who certainly was an adept in that sort of business. Mr. Blair tells nothing new. He does not appear to have performed any legal service for Shipherd in capacity of attorney for the Peruvian Company, and be eayB tbat all the fees he bas received from that notori ouse corporation was paid in the Peru vian Company's script. He preferred cusb for bis arduous labor but never re ceived it. In November, when bo learn ed that there was to he an investigation by Congress Mr. Blair virtuoutly return ed the script so tbat its possession might not embarass him tu voting, but this act looks to the impartial observer, as if be had Bhrewdly come to the conclusion that It was not worth the paper it was printed on. Previous to this be bad written to Shipherd in his capacity of attorney, not of Senator, to hurry bis claims, scud along hi commissioners to l'eru with money to Batisfy the Chilian indemnity, to "act as though the Ameri can ships of war were on the way to the Pacific coast." Mr. Bl.tir'x statement was very weak and on n flection be must feel humiliated. Blaine was entertaining uecttiae his in tellect is vigorous and bis impudence and trickery somehow tickle the lancy. Blair is a driveler who excites pity by his very nieauuets, and the unenviable position in which he is placed suggests the pungent lines of Emerson- The Gud who made New Hampshire Taunted the lofty land With little men. Tho confereuca of tbn Committees of Regular and Independent Republicans in Philadelphia una brought to a clow Kite Monday night,- ltesolulious went adopt ed rcc mniiutliiig to the State Conven tion on May 10, n series of "principles and me' bods," and "permanent rnlra for the holding of the Slate Convention and the government of the party." A resold Hen was also adopted declaiming "any authority'to speak or act for ojher per sons than ourselves, and simply make these suggestions as, In nur opinion, es Reulial to the promotion of harmony and nutty." At Harrisburg Monday Judge Mc Phetaon filed nn opinion lu favor of the Lehigh Valley Rillrnail Company In the sntVof tho State to recover from tbat cor potation $135 032 taxes on tbat Com Ham's bonds lor 1 HSU ami 1BH1. Tlie decision covers between twenty and tbir ty other pendingcasea of Asiruilir nature. WASHINGTON. From ova Rkoulas CoanrsroximNr. Washington, D. C April 20, 1882. The sensalicn of the Week has been ex Secretary Blaine's testimony before tin Hi me Foreign Affairs Committee. A was oxp?cttd, he flatly contradicted many of Shipherd's most Important statements, connecting him with the Lindreau claim &c, and denounced him as a liar and perjilrtr, nud snggenteiljthnt bis case bo taken up by tho Grand Jury. The ere it interview which Shipherd basso elabo.R ely dt scribed and r. ported dwi died to a lG-miiiuttH conv. rHtiu in Mr Blaine's bauds, aud the assertion that th "leked letter'' to H'irlhnrt was rpioUd COItURKSSIONAIi SUMMARY.; In the Senate Thursday. 27th ulU, Mr. Sherman introduced a Mil to repeal so much oftlie Aet of FebYuary-23, 1878, author!.- log the coinage of the standard silver dol lar, and restoriue its legal tender character, as directs the purchase and coinage into Btnnilard silver dollars of not less than (2,- 000,900 of silver bullion per month.
