SENATOR BLAIR.
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

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

State Department at tbe beginning twaa
that ho was introduced by a Seiator, and
apparently supported by three cx-Scua-
tors, an ex-Secretary of tlie Trcasury.and
otber prominent men. It brgius to look
as though tbo Committee has been im
posed upon from tbe first by a brnzeu
fraud, and they do not feel very pleasant
over it. Stiipberd may not find it so
Biuooth sailing when bo returns ns when
he left. Mr. Blaine's testimony was given
in tho impetuous manner which is his
characteristic. His language was em
phatic, nud when it became necessary for
him to describe Sbipberd's character, or
find expressive adjectives to be applied
to Sbipherd'x lulse statements, tbe dic
tionary was laid under contribution, with
very satisfactory results A little passage

Second Unitarian Church iu Boston as

The "Gazette" iu a long-winded ar
ticlo last week, takes ns to tabk for pub'
llshiug tbe fact that the Assessor of he
liigbton had refused to raise the rate of
nssrsstueut of laborers resident in this
borough from $50 to $75. The Assessor
niado tbe asKtfuneut the same as last
year, viz; $50, not having been instructed
by the. economical Conuty Commissioners
to dp otherwise, but after he had made
th'grassessnicut, they sent their clerk to
ifttk him to rai.e it to $75, stating that
other places had assesstd at that rate.
We doubt whether the Assessor of Le-
lvigbton bas tire; right to'rtlUo the rate of
Tissevauicut or the Commissioners' either,
niter it has been.mice xeil; until the
next trteutial.va) nation ftjAt any rate we
dlill platnTbafjAaawworyaa right in re

President aud General Grant have broken
over tbe lteule matter. When General
Grant was here be wan beseiged by many
old friends for bis iuflneuce at the White
House. Before he came ho bad alrendy
recommended various persons for ruiuor
positions. The btory is tbat while many
persous received the General's approval
he laid no particular stress upon auy one
of them, excepting the case of General
Beale. This appointment of llealo to a
Cabinet position Grant made a special
r quest When this was done there ex
isted a mutual understanding between
th President and the ex-President that
the latter should name one of the Cabi
net. Grant bad deferred doing this until
alter the Cabinet was balf made up and
everything but the Interior, Navy and
War Departments disposed of. From
Grant's silence, tbe President probably
luferred that he had no desire to iusi't
upon the promise extiacted Imm him on
