L. W. ALMOND.
. .
"Mt Setretary . Robeson, after a
long probation, consisting of Star.
Chamber inquisition into all his affr
fairs; private and public, has . finally
won the right of defending himself
in open court, or rather in open com
mittee, and with a result that cannot
fail to be satisfactory to the country
and the President. The ablest offi
cers at the head of the different naval
bureaus, including Admiral Rodgers,
of the Yards and Docks ; Admiral
Howell, Surgeon General Palmer,
Chief Engineer Shock, Commodore
William N. Jeffers, Chief of .the Bu
reau of Ordnance and Pim:basing ;
Paymasters Cutter, of New York,l
and Russell, of Philadelphia, have
testifloil to his official and personal
-integrity and impartiality, When
the Secretary comes to his own di
rect defence we look for his complete
vindication. • It cannot have passed
the memory of the Democrats that
there never was a. complete system
of faVoritism . in the departments at
Washington, to go no further back,
than the Administration of James '
Buchamin--,especially in that of the
Navv—and when the Republicans
recover, as they certainly will in the
coining November elections, the con
trol of the National House of Repre
sentatives, they may, again open the
books of past Democratic adminis
trations and balance the account be
tween the two parties. Every mem
ber of the CabiLet, from the begin
ning of Gip- Government down, had
his friends, and if he trusted them,
it was doubtless because he preferred
them to strangers ; and if Mr., Robe
son preferred his friends, the Cattells,
1,0 others, the Gopirnment lost noth
ing. Public position always attracts
applicants for place and patronage,
and, in the very nature of things, he
who dispenses power or disburses
:money looks for assistance to those
he had previously trusted in private'
life. One of the earliest accusations '
against Washington, now utterly for- ;
gotten, was that he favored the se
lection of SEe site of the present Na
tional Capital because he was a large
owner of real estate in that quarter.
Every Governor of a Territory, from
A:eller:a Cass, at the head of the Ter
ritory of Michigan, down no doubt
to the Governors'cof the present Ter
ritories, e was expected to realize
something beyond his salary by se
lecting choice stretches of_public
land. On this head the sli! , litest in
quiry Would produce a volume of
historic facts. High station in any
country is always perilous; and, judg-:
ing by those who, have filled such
stations during the last hundred
years in our country, we may well
wonder that sensitive and honest
men. especially if• they are poor,
should- allow. themselves to be tempt
ed into these dangerous responsibili
ties. Apply this democratic rule to
the whole body of legislators of both
sides, and the disclosure would follow
as remain as the night the day—that
Most of them have made fortunes by
their opportunities in connection
with the Government departments :
not a few of them in open despera
tion. but nearly all with the full con
sent of their associates. The same
results would follow the enforcement
of the same rule in all the Cabinets
and Parliaments in Europe. It is
hest, in such an eXigeney as the pres
cut, to lace the full facts of history.
Good will come from the comparison
and contrast. Certainly no sueli
-harm will re,rard the tAforts of the
- Detnocrats, to destroy Republican
reputations as the restoration ,Of
these Democrats to the contiA of
the Government they rushed into re
hellion. and, after firliting, for its de
struction, covered with that colosal,
debt front which alone Republican
.-talesmert can deliceril."
OMAHA, Neb., Jime 2.—Several

W4SIIINGTON,. June 5.--In 1 the
House, to=day, Mr. Blaine took the
floor and made a personal explana
tion In regard to the investigation
now being made on him. After
ing that the Ilemocratie members.of
the Judiciary Committee had I not
dared to bring himfbefore the 11, uSe
for refusing to produce his privatti
letters taken by hint from :Milligan,
he announced his intention to Irvid
every one of them:to ,the House
is now doing so.
THEIIE IS A GREAT SIiNSATI
in the house. Blaine has se
times been interrupted by apply
TIIE LETTERS.
The first letter Mr. Maine real(
addressed to Fisher; and was
1861. It
. referred to a settlemet
tween the writer and Fisher, and
contained an illusiOn to a.sl ),000
note givrt for Spencer rifle s ock:
Mr. Blaine said an explanationt way
neeesiarY in reference to this iotc.
Two years before he came into jeon
gress, the *persons who owned the
patent for the Spencer rifle came to
hiM and said the rifle ring inWash
ington•was so strong that they
get' no chance for a contract lie
came to Washington and succeeded
in getting the War bepartint‘nt to
recognize the Spencer rifle, for iThich
service he was paid a reasonable tee.
Mem:tills, before he came into ' l t7oil•-
gress, he was asked and took $10,..
000 of Spencer rifle stock, whiCh he
paid for.
The next letter was dated - August
9, 1812, from. Augusta, in answer to
a letter from Fisher asking him for a
note for $6,000 on account. In this
letter, *Blaine claimedlhat Fisher was
owing°over $7,000 on the LittleTto...l:
matter. He says the latter is per
petual and neverending emba rass
went, and he {Blaine) wits as &liras
a contribution. box, borroWing to
meet his campaign expenses.
The next letter was one of JOly
187:2, ,giving further particulars of
this dispute.
The next was dated April :?r,, '872.
and in it Mr. Maine answers Fis lees
request for a letter of cre • dit:of 'slo,-
000 on Jay Cooke & Co. •
The fir:it:letter referred to a teis
ion made by Mr. Maine, as Speiker;
on the last night of the sessiOn of
ISO, ruling out an amendment Offer
ed by Mr. .lulian, to annex the
lem
phis & El Paso bill to a bill relating
to the Little Rock toad. 11(4. Lagan.
at the suggestion of the Speaker,
made a *point of. order against the
amendment, and
.the Speaker ruled it
out. This was some months b i ,..fore
he (Illaine) became interested in the
stock. or the road.
The additional hitters were then
read in full, Mr. Blaine making an
explanation! in regard to one which
referred to $t;,000 of Union Pacific
bond;, which Mr:Blaine mid belong.
ed to it member of his fainily,lGail
Ilamilt4m, and upon which hei had
Lilt money. These bonds 'level' be
longed to him.
There were three °titer paper in
cluded among the setters, relating to
the Northern Pacific Railroad, eon
eerr.ing which Mr. Blaine said noth-
ing, except that he would have them
printed in the record with the letters.
Another letter dated October 14

speak at present.
Mr. Blaine•then: asserted that such
a tele gram was received by Mr. Knott.
Mr. Ilunton, chairman of the sub-
Judiciary Committee,to whom the
investigation had been referred, made
un_ expbutations slitting that Blaine
had told ' him the ;resolution offered
by Mr. Tarbox attached to him,
(Blaine) and he *anted the investi
gation prOceeded With as rapidly as
possible, which had been done. The
only delays had been on Blaine's ac
count. it had been at Blaine's de
sire that the committee took up the
matters relating to him first, and yet
he (Blaine) seemed surprised that
the ingniry in%'•olved an examination
into these Pacific! Railroad matter*.
and claimed the committee had no
jurisdiction; under Mr. Luttrel's res
olution, of a stunk transaction be
tween two individuals. When Mul
ligan mentioned incidentally ,these
letters of Blaine, the latter had whis
pered t0.31r LitWreneelto move an

Mr. Lawrence here interrupted,
saying he had been sick that morn
ing, and had been ill ever since, and
Blaine's desiring - him to ,Linove an ad
journment was nut because of any
fear or what was going on.
Mr. Hunter said the fact remained
that when the letters were mentioned
a motion to adjOurn was tnadc' and
consented to. - Mr. 11 u n ton urged

Mr. Knott said Blaine had im•

would spy that they ircre- Blaine's

sulecoMmittee. however, had been
selected before Blaine wa. implicated
in any of the alleged fraudulent
transactions, and he had nvited Mr.
Frye, Illaine's personal friend, to
take a position thereon, and he had
refused. Mr. Knott said that Blaine
seemed to insinuate that the Judicia

that they were perfectly willing that

Then, said Mr.
lie cable dispatell
well. it is true that last! Thursday
morning I did nceive a. dispatch
The gentleman from Mai4n (Blaine
seems to kno t w precisely the liOur
which I received it, and its contents
lie seems thoroughly posted on tl
is subject; but permit the to say wit
9ut regard to the insinuation that
the telegram has been suppressed,
•-• that any man, high or low, whoever
r- he'may be, who will elsewhere make
sash un insinuation, wilt have to
take the consequences. I hurl the
falsehood, back to the teeth of any
man who makes the suggestion of
suppression of that dispatch 1 re
ceived. I , (lid not suppress it at all.
In less than thirty minutes after
received it I read it to sever:it gen
tlemen ; but there was no particular
address in London from which it
1. purporthd to come, and I did believe
c —and am not altogether certain yet
' s that I do not believre—that it was a,
r fixed-up job. . , .
Mr. Hale, of Maine—The dispatch
purported to dome froth London, and
did , not that indicate. to the gentle
man from Kentucky Where to tele
graph to Josiah Caldwell ?
Mr. Knott—l hail information that
Caldwell was in , Italy building rail
roads there, and Inot in -London.
There being no point in London deS
ignated in thel i dispatch, it struck me
as being a little 'singular that "I
'should have behn expected to address
a reply to London, where there are
three or four millions of people. I
might as well have gone to hunt for
a drop in -the ocean. i
Mr. Iliall asked if Mr.linatt didn't
know that the telegraph office ,in

Mr. Knott said that Mr. _Hale
kr,C.'w mor. about it than he *did, and
in answer o calls for reading of the
dispatch, tated it was at his house,
but was s ihStantially as Blaine had
stated, the , urport thereof being that
\)
Caldwell laid 'seen Scott's testimony
in the Newt York papers, . and that it
was sulist-intially correct ; that he
had not lilt . Blaine have any bonds,
and that h i e would send an affidavit
to that effeht, but that he was en- .
gaged in 4. railroad enterprise over
there and eould not come to giVe his
testimony without serious pecuniary ,
loss. This isi what is in it, and if the
gentleman had only Waited, that dis
patch would have been presented to
the Committee for whatever use the
Committee !night see', proper to male
of it. I had no desire to injure the
gentleman from Maine personally,
and especially not politically; but-de
sire that the truth may be told. As
for myself, : I had no 'knowledge of
any transaction by . the gentleman
from Maine inconsistent with the
highest personal integrity. Ido not

IVaggoner came to hinilat Scranton
and informed , him that arrangements

make a hand Some speculation ; that
if in his annual return he did not
embrace all the money due the State
lie would not suffer. SilbseqUently
Millspaugh came to this City, and ar

_to cheat the Treasury ant of "five

hundred dollars of the plunder to go

mainder to be divided between Smith
and Waggoner. The fraudident.re

honest transactions, arid whom ihe
asked as- to the. course he liould phi ,
