Blaine's friends would be a farce. The Republican suggests no solution of the difficulty, but says it does not "take much stock in an early or searching in lairy. If it comes it will be, as already hinted, an agreeable disappointment." The Republican adds--- - Putting all questions -of investigations howevei, Congress has a duty to perform in the premises; a duty to its own reputation and to the ponntry ; a plan daft', not to' be shirked with impunity. That is, to expel Mr. Oakes Ames of Massachnsetta, In the case of this per son investigation would be a palpable waste of Eime. There is no question about hie guilt.

One hun dred thousand dollars was then viewed as a very moderate estimate of the pecu niary loss which the Tribune would sus tain in the death of Horace Greeley ; but the chances of that dire cal:miry to the Tribune seemed so remote that no motion was made to inere•tse the life, insurance.. not even after the hundred shares which represent the entire Tribune association had risen to 810,000 each. Some of the Tribune's stock was recently sold at a smaller figure t but the stockholders still, .estimate.the entire property at a round million.
