To the Editors of the Pittaburg Most Oblige by informing a number of your readers what the Blaine Mulligan let. ters were : who was or is Mr. Mulligan whether he acted for himself or a rail road eorporat how the letters wera concerned in investigation, together with what this was, and oblige, Reapers Tes on ; We have received a number of inquir fes of this character. The invest which brought to light the “Mur letters” so-called, although they were addressed to Mr. Fisher, of Boston, took place in 1876, and it is not at all strange that a definite of thei character has faded from many minds or that the new voles to the front at last six or eight years ago in ignorance of them, We propose to give im succinct from the facts as they have been officially made known. f tention GAN recollection coming The letters were written by James GO Blaine, Speaker of the 110 150 ain 31860, to Warren Fisher, of B »aton by whom they were committed to James § Mulli- gan, who was Cashier of the Adame Sugar Refinery of Boston, and Mr. Fish. er’s confidential man of business, Fisher was a railroad contractor fora portion of the little Rock and Fort Smith rail road. The Mr Caldwell, of Boston, re ferred to in the letters, was a heavy op- orator in land grant railroads, a man of large financial resourees, and control ed the franchise of the Little Rook rail: road. He was of the Jay Gould type, reckless and unscrupulous in his opera tions, The Little Rock Company was char- tered by Congress and endowed with a land grant to build a road from Little Rock to Forth Smith, In 1860 its char. ter was in danger of lapsing, and a bill Tas befors ths HOS to —ciniiane The land “grant.

The committees adjourned until Monday June 12, and Mr, Blaine was notified to attend and produce the letters, On Sunday, June 11, Mr. Blaine on his way to church, received a sunstroke. His life was not endangered and his letters were saved. He was, of course, defriv- ed of the pleasure of resppearing on Wonday before Mr, Huoton's inquistive committee, Three days afier the sun. stroke the Republican National Conven: tion, before whick Mr, Blaine was the leading candidate for the Presidential nomination, met at Cincinnati, Never was there a more opportane sunstroke, The committee could not force “a very sick man” on the witaess stand, or re port to the House lie was in contempt of its authority, Mr. Hayes was nominat. ed at Cincinnati, and the matter was Blaine refused the committee dropped in sympaty for Blaine in hi, | tain privileges to the Memphis and El | Be [likely political defeat and proyidentinl su | wn the bring Caldwell I'ha re A rm Little letter is as follow EO Ke | int of fecompany thal vi DET he the Hoek road { .) of Ale wae h ANG h ir committe e, fl ' or: a itinthah El Paso well known to Mr. Caldwell, s thin, and the *obby in Fremont interest had the thing all and Juli amendment was to prevail if brought to a vole t and other members from Arkansas re doing their best for their own bill, to which there seemed to objection, were in despair z tog d sehome Af Amer nt toy me the Eremont probs! 0 ie House w the t up An's be it no for was well known that the Senate war hostile | to the Fremont scheme, and if the Arkansas bill had gone back to the Sen- ate with Julian's amendment the whole thing would have gone or the table and slept the sleep of death.

Protection will never be tried again in this country.
