Spectat Dispatch to Te Triduns. « WasminaToN, D, C., June 1.—While it can- not be denfed that the result of to-day’s fuves- tigution of Blaine’s connection with the Little Rock & Fort Bmith Railrond bonds bas been such us Lo Jeavean unfavorable fmpressiou, there are a few facts which, while they form no part of the testimouy, should Lo fully taken into consideration fn order to wrriventa just csti- mate of the case s it now stands. It hus been remarked that during the examination to-day Mulligan evinced a strong fecllng of en- mity and spite towards Blaine throughout the whole of his testimony. Itls asserted that Mulligan came here fecling very unfriendly towards the ex-Speaker aud disposed to do him anything but justice, aud it Is even hinted that there has been a misunderstanding be- tween them, and that Mulligan {s now BEEKING RRVENGE. Mulligan says that Elisha Atkins told him that Blalue had dispused of seventy-five of his Arkansus bonds to Tom Scott on very favorable terms, but Mr. Atkins, whose word will not be doubted anywhere, fs understood to be anxious to have su opportunity to gnupon the stand and to deny that be ever inade such & statement in Mulligan’s presence, and that he liud any knowledge of any such eale. Mulli- gan, it will not be forgotien, hus no Informatfon on the subfect himself, and his testimony on this point is thercfore stmply liearsay. The fn- vestigation thus far hus brovght to light TWO SETS OF TRANSACTIONS. The first fuctudes those which tuok place be- tween Josiah Caldwell, of Bosten, and Tom Scott, BDoth of these gentlemen, ns is well known, were Interested In the Southern Security Company, one object of which was to secure a line of rallroad from the Atlantic to tho Pacific Ocean, The several linka [n this road were the Memphis & Charleston, the Memplils, Little Rock & Fort Snuth, aud (he Atlantle & Pacifie Railrond, In order to cd carry, “out thele plan, Scolt” au- alrted Coldwell, _ who was _bulldng the Litle Rock &' Fort Smith Ruilrsd, and jurchascd of him @ number of iia bonds. Subsequently, o e hlmeclf tostifled, e xold n por- tion of thuse bonds to- the Union Pacific Ralizond Company for $64,000, that Company taking tuls method to REFAY HIM FOR 118 VALUANLE SERVICES while acting as Prenident. "Phosecond ect of transactions taok plnce between Joslah Caldwell, Warren Fisher of Bostou, and Blalne, Fisher 'and Blaine had for wauy years been on the moat intimate terms, the Iatter's buni- ness tranmactions with the former having begun when he wasonly 22 years of age. Fisher undertook the rale of somo of the Little Rock & Fort Hmith bunds, and was offerlng to pay o generous commis- wlon to any one who world ‘asist that_comphny In raising money h{ dlsposing uf 118 sccuritiea, Blaine undertook ta scll & uumber of its first-morigage bouds, and aid_auccecd in placing some of them among his frisnde and scquaintances in Malnc. Jor those servicon - HE RECEIVED SOME OF THE BONDS of the Company. Subscquenty, some of those who had purchased honds from Blaino beeame dix- wntisficd with their investments, and asked biin to tako them back, Altbough not obliged to do wo, lie did necede Lo thix requoat, and 1t Is understood that Caldwell taok the wholo or purt of them off his bands. ~Now, In order to break down Blaine's statement in his own defense, it must be shown thut the bonds which Caldwell wold to Scott were the sanc Londs which the furmer recelved from Blatne, This js TIE MISSING LINK 1n the care againat Biaine, and without It the pros. centlon must apparently fail. That Jluk Dlalne's friends any it will be imposwible to supply. On the other haud, thm{ confidently expect to prove that it does mot aml mever did Cexist. They In- tend to show thls by comparlmg the numbers of tho bonds nuw i possession of the Un- fou Pacific Compuny with the nambers of those which Blaine returned to Calibwell, and by proving thot they are not at all identical, Blalue's cne- wmica will, of course, make the most of hin inter- view with Mullizan sesterduy afternoon, the dis- covery that Mullfyan hud ju his posscesion some of Blaine's private letters to Warren Pisher, tie man- ner in which the ex-Speaker obtained them, and 13 refusal to return them to Mulligan or to pro- duce them hefore the Committee, Public attentlon haviuz been called to the ex- {utence of tbis correxpondence, und Bintne Luving shown »o great anxiety to get and retain control of It, nothing but the fullest und most complete ex- planation of the churacterof the letters, oe their iietun? production, will remove all ground for a suwpicion that tliey do not contaln something which wonld niot bear the Ught.
