How Senator Spencer, of Alabama, Proposes to Secure a- Re-olection, LIBERAL RALLY AT CAIRO--SPEECH OF SEN- ATOR TRUMBULL IN REPLY .TO BLAINE'S CHICAGO SPEECH. - Special Despateh ts The Chicago Tribune, - CArko, 1L, Oct: 19.—The Libérals had a mon- ster torch-light proceseion and demonstration’ here to-night. Large dologations came by steamer and special trains from Paducah, Mound City, Columbus, snd other adjacent towns, Senator Trumbull addressed o vast sudience of 8ix thousand persons in one of his most forcible and effective speechos. He roplied as follows to Speaker Blaine's Chicago speech : * Mr. Blaine, Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives, in a speech at Chicago a fow days sinco, said: ¢ From the boginning this has been s campaign of extraordinerily vigorous lying, in which I quite sgree with him, but tho lviog bas beon - monopolized by the Radicals with whom he acts. For my own part -I- have never indulged in personal attacks upon any one. I have spoken freely of existin, évils and abuses of government, and of illeg: and corrupt acts of officials, but'of private tran- sactions, and of individuals as such, never. Mr. Blaine, in_endeavoring. to defond himeelf and the majority of the Senate from the charge of Daving unfairly organized and packed_commit- tees of investigation with partisans and especi: frionds of the officials whose conduct was to bs investigated, eaid that by Mr. bull’s and Mr. Schurz's own showing they dssire committees to be packed against & fair hearing of tha charges’ lfirmst Administration of General Grant. Mr. Blaine did not and cannot adduce any Erool in support of this wanton calumny. Neither of us ever desired more than that the friends of investigations should be fairly repre~ sonted upon the Gommittees. Mr. Blaine says: +Cortain allegations were brought sgainst the management of the Navy Department in the New York Sun. Mr. Trumbull came and said that an_investigation would be moved in the Houso by Governor Blair, of _Michigan, Ho intimated to mo that he hoped that there would be more fairness in the House investigation than had been shown in the Semate. I told him, of course, I could not say anything about the appointmentof a select ccmmittee, but what I would do in the future must be judged by what I bad done in the ast.’ This is nob & correct statement of Mr. laine's reply to my suggestion for s fair com- mittee. Can it be that he has forgotten his as- surance that Mr. Blair, who offered the resolu- tion, would be entitled to be Chairman, and that' ho would comsult Mr. RBlair a3 to the composition of the committee, a8 soon 88 the resolution was adopted? Has he farther forgotten that almost immedistely on the adoption of the resolution, he announcedthe Committee, without such consultation? Gover- nor Blair was unwilling, in view of the frequent packing of committees with especial friends of the accused, to undertake the investigation of the alléked abuses in the Naval Department, un- 1oss he could be assured in advance that he wonld have a fair Committes. It was tp obtain that agsurance that I called on Speaker Blaine. I obtained it, and soinformed Mr. Blair. How well that sssurance was kept, subsequent events and the conduct of a pm'rinn of the Committee in conducting the investigation, aa the attorne: the Becretary of the Navy, abundently show. Fortunately, it is not necessary to put my word sgainst Mr. Blaine's, as to & conversation of which he and I alone were cognizant, in order to show bow mistaken, I will not esy guilty of vig- orous lyinfi, he is in his remarks at Chicago. Truth is_always consistent with itself; and, al- though timo is often said to be immaterial, even in contracts, it sometimes becomes the very - essence of infallible test of truth. If s commission mer- chent in Chicago, to whom you have shipped fn.in in the fall of 1871, were to report to you hat the grain was destroyed in the warehouse in the great fire which occurred in the city on the 9th of October, and it wero subsequently to 3peu that the grain was not received by the ucain ‘merchant till after the fire, what would be thought of his statement that it was consumed in that grest conflagration? so, if _ Mr. Blaino, _ spesking in Chicafio this wesek, says that in - March, 1872, he selected for the performance of a par- ticular sorvice a class of persons who had no ex- istence till the May following, the whole world will see he is mistaken in what he says. This is his language: M. Blair moved the Commit- tee ; it was npyointefl., and vindicated the Sec- retery of the Navy against the charges.of tho New York Sun. Now, Mr. Trumbull intimates, in tnlkin%:boub it whenever ho alludes to the subject, that it was done by & packed committee. Now, that Committee consisted of five mem- bers, three of whom were: Greeley men. [Cheers]. Governor Blair, of Michigan, Mr. Warren, of New York, and Mr. Archer, of Maryland, \were the threo Grecley- men; Mr. Peters of Maine, and Mr. Sargent, of California, were the two ublican members. The record shows that Mr. Blair_appointed the committee March 12, 1872, nearly two months before the meeting of the Cincinnati Conven- vention, at which Mr. Greeley was nominated. When the committee was raised, there were no Greeley men in existence to appoint, and, con- sequently, Mr. Blaine's statement that he ap- ox::tad hree such men on the committee cannot o true. Mr. Blaine says the Committee vindicated the Semta.r{ of the Navy ?igninué the charges of the New York Sun, but he does not venture to say that he was properly acquitted. The very fact that a majority of the Committes vindicated the Secretary from the chargo of having paid out of the Tressury, in 1870, $93,000 to naval contract- tors, who had previously been paid all that o Board of officers had reported to be or that was due them, in violation of law passed in 1868, which declared that the sums_proviously paid shall bo in ful discharge of allclaims 3ganst tho . United States or account of the vesscls _mpon which the Board ‘mado the ellowance, furnishes the best evidence which conld be roquired to show the partisan ubnrncfer of the Committee. Mr. Blaine further cays: *Mr. Trumbull arraignshis associates who are supporting Mr. Greee& because three of them have determined that the Secretary of the Navy acted properly.’ How much does this statement of Mr. Blaine differ from that extra- ordinarily vigorous lying of which he spesks? Does not Mr. Blaine know that no three friends of Mr. Grecley determined that the Secretary of the Navy rcted properly? 8o far from it Mesers, Blair snd - Archor determined and reported that he paid out 93,000 to tho Secors in violation of aw. Whether the relations of Messrs. Sargent and Warren to the Secretary of the Navy and to tics dealing with and under obligations to were such as to render them fit persons to in- vestigato his conduct, let such judge as have a knowledge of facts of which Mr. Blaine was not ignorant.” The_ torchlight 'fmcaseion was nearly two miles in length, and was composed in part of ‘mounted men. Many were unzble to obtain torches, a8 there were only about 2,500 to dis- tribute. Great enthusiasm prevailed. Tgyptis suro for Greeley and Brown in November. SPEECH OF JOHN T. STONEMAN AT DUBUQUE. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, Dustque, Towa, Oct.20.—John T. Stoneman, Liberal-Democratio candidate for Congress in a contract, and is an- the Third District, eddressed = large audience of his constituents at the Athenwum, last evening; in a clear and forcible speech of an hour snd & balf. He.completely absorbed tha attention of Lis large audience, who frequenily greeted him with rounds of spplauso. His illustrations of points of political economy were plain and con- vineing; stooping to no petty insinuations in speaking of rivals, which won him many en- comiums. In short, his speech was logical and incontrovertible throughout. He opened by saying he should endeavor to say nothing thet would sting the sensibilities of the many Re- ublicans he noticed present. He did nat be- onig to that clazs or party_that thought all the best men were on their side. Thaf party waa best which pointed out and fried toright the ‘wrongs of an Administraiion; that_the greatest cnemy is that Pmy which reeks in corraption and wrong, and refuse to remedy it. Ho ad- mired the honesty and spirit_exhibited by mern severing their connection with 8 party confed- eration in full tide of political euccess; to join a_ party for reform and political purity.-! Mapy ° declared Groeley _ inconsistent, and eaid many bitter things, but in tho exciting days onoby there voro fow man that had not committed themselves. When the Demosratic arty was in power, it contamed such men a8 n. Butler, gimon Cameron, and Morton, and hosts of othors equally corrupt, who stood by the party while it was_dominant, stood by the fives loayes and seven fishes like brave men, but who pulled_up their tents like Arabs when' the tide turnod, and stole over to the Republicsn ranks, Then it was that Mr. Greeloy poured hot shot into Democratic ranks, niming only at such men, and would to God he had hit them. It the Domoorats snd Liberals Lad been inconsistent in joining together in this mew movement, he didn’t care, 50 long aa ihoy were right in the main. Mr. Greeley has been in- Gonsistent in his way es an humblo explorer in the march of davoloflnc, ‘but the people hon- ored and admired him, and he believed le would make a good Presidont. All accorded Mr. Grealoy honesty and sincerity of purpose. Of Grant he phould not sy an unkind word: Itis an easy matter for men to stark enthus: jusm by blackening the character of snother, If he could :not make his way to proferment otherwise than by the ruin and degradation of his fellows, he would be contented to occupy an ‘humble position, and pass through life unhon- ored and unsung: 2 WHAT IT COST TOCARRY PENNSYLVANIA FOR HARTRANFT. . Special Despaich to The Chicago Tribune, New Yorg, Oct. 20.—A Philadelphia corres- pordent, who has good facilities for ascertaining what is enacted in the Grant campaign in that Btate, says the amount expended by theState Re- publican Committeo to elect Hartranft smount~ ed to threo million dollars.. The re- volt of McClure, Curtin, - Forney, Heckman, Moorheed, Marghall, and & dozen or more Republican newspepers, constitute the reason for this enormous expend- itare. The programme laid down by the Grant Committes was to impress the public with the estimation in which Buckalew, and Hortranft, and Cortin were beld by their neighbors, by causing Buckalew and Curtin to run far below, and Ha tranft far above, the general average of their tickets at their respective homes. This required an expenditure of £50,000 in each of the three counties. In Luzerne, one of the strongholds of the Democrats, a much Iargersum was expended, and with effect, for the Democratic m’i’oflty Was greatly reduced, someof Grant’s revenue officers are likely to bo in a condition that a pardon from Hartranft will ‘e necessary to their promotion. In Lancaster, greenbacks were Iavished without stint, and, it is charged, on oath, that one of Grant's revenue officers in Lancaster City was in the market to buy Democratio judges at $200 & head, provided they reduced the Buckalew vote 100 in theirrespective you.inq laces. Remarked this revenue officer: ¢ End no occasion to buy Judges of Election, when an endleas number of Germans offered to vote for Hartranft at from 81 to 82 ahead.” This fling at the Germans is, doubtless, & malig- nant device to obscure the fact that voters who eold themeselves were Bourbon Democrata of na~ tive production. HOW SENATOR SPENCER, OF ALABAMA, PRO- POSES TO SECUREA RE‘EELECTION. - ‘WasaINGTOX, D. C., Oct. 20.—Senator Spencer, of ‘Alabama, continues in trouble, he being among that unfortunate class of carpet-bag Senators whose term expires on March 4th next. Therefore he has sent on here a delegation of &mall Tocal politicians, also carpet-baggers, to in- duce she Administration to eend trocps down to that State for the purpose of ensuring a quist election, and prevent any such opposition ma- jorities as were achioved in Georgis. Itisnot pretended that there is any present necessity for ‘military aid, but only that troops may be needed to bri.ns out the full black vote in the State in November pext. Senator Spencer and this retinue of his do not believe with the Con- gressional Cn.mpn%in Committee that Alabama is &afe for Grant. They represent that the Repub- lican party down there i split into more than two fragments, and that the ne, vote is_not byw{i mesns unanimous. It is believed here that the dele&nfinn i8 but the forerunner of the owerful influences which will be brought to ear on the President from all the Southern Btates to induce Federal interference with the November elections in the Southern States.

SPAIN; = New Yorg, Oct. 20.—The London Times hias the following regarding the fire at the Escurial : ¢ According to o statement made by the Minie-~ ter of Finance to the Cortes yesterdayfternoon, the zctual damage is much less thanat first enp- posed. Not a book or manuscript or picture hed been injured. The church and palace, with their priceless contents, are untouched. The principal fear was for the coiling of the librdry; with its mmagnificent. frescoes, and the work of Poregrin Toboldi, nrxnlq hl}nrtole‘mat ‘Cl:;ldncci}.l ‘These wm-kskI o: art, which represenf logophy, grammar, rhetoric, Tsio, astronomy, dislotis, anitbmetig, and the: ology, appear to the eyes as fresh and as brill- iant a8 when their colors were first laid on; more than 800 years igo: Fortunately they are intact, and neither fire nor weter has damaged them. Fears, however, exist that in consequence of the immense weight of rubbish above it the whole ceiling may fall, but as thework of clearing away this rubbish has commenced, and is being car« ried on with exireme cdte, it is to be hoped no further mischief will be cone. 8o far as can ab resent be_ calculated, it will cost £40,000 to repair it.

Loxpox, Oct. 20.—By nd means a gratifying iight is shod upon the account of tho Metropoli~ tan Railway by the Committee of Investigation eppointed lnst August. Dubious transactions have ben engaged in by the managemont, inju- dicions outlays have been perpetrated, and the dividends paid have been £400,000 in excess of the actual net earnings of the line. Mary Ann Cotton, whohas been committed for trial on a charge of having‘eoisonod her hus- band and four children, at West Auckland, is now_implicated ina series of other.charges, which, if verified, will prove her to have been a systemalic poisoner from her youth. Cotton, who died in September, was her fourth husband. The first two their lives insured at her in- stance, . and when they died, of whal was medically certified to be tric fever, she promptly realized her widow's consoltion, During the first marriage seven children died. The third was fatal to six more, and the fourth at West As had reached its fifth victim, when the horrible career of crime was stopped. 1t is now remembered that Cotton’s own mother died under mysterions circumstances, similar to those noted in all other cases. - With her'd there will be twenty cases of suspicion.
