C., Junc 3.—Blaine's friends say that he intends to clear up everything con- pected with his letters, so far as they are related in any way to public transactions, between now and Monday might. He will probably choose the opportunity tomake another personal state- ment from his place in the House. The peculiar circumstances under which he is now placed, he will plead as an cxcuse for making another statement, although in the last statement he said he should take no more public notice of charges sgainst him, no matter what his encmics might allege. In the - statement of Monday, or perhaps some later day in the week, he will speak in justification of his own acts as well as against the charges of his ene- mies. MULLIGAN to-day in his testimony Identified but one letter as haviug any possible reference to"the Little Rock & Fort Smith transaction, which the Judiciary Committee is authorized to investi- gate. This document, however, was not a let- ter but a manuseript draft of the bjll relating to the-Northern Pacific legislation, with some figures upon it. "Mulligan failed to identify these figures as being in the handwriting of Mr. Blaine. This letter or document Blaine's friends say will be at the disposition of the Committee and the public. Whatever the decision of the Committee mav be relative to the right of the Committee to therest of the letters, Blaine’s friends per- sist in saying they refer freely to domestic transactions and matters relative to his brothers and his brother-in-law, who seem to have been dependent upon him during the most of hislife, and to other subjects of similar cheracter. His friends malke no mention of the letter relating to THE SPENCER CONTRACT. There can be no doubt, however, that among the letters there is such a letter. . Mulligan'nas already described its contents. A gentleman who has read them all several times says in none of them is there any mention of the $64,- 000 which Tom Scott received from the Union Pacific. Neftheris there a statement-that Blaine had received $20,000 Little Rock bonds from Caldyell in an outside transaction, and $55,! from another transaction, making togcther the mysterious seventy-five bonds. As to the letter, which it scems to be admitted refers to the Spen= Cfr rifle contract, it is insisted that this transac- tion OCCURRED I 1561 OR 1862, two years, at least, before he became a member of Congress, and while he was in the Maine Leg- islature, and that whatever the nature of that transaction it is, therefore, one in which Con- has no concern, and over which it has no iction. Itisbelicvedthat all of this transac- tion can be explained by parties now here with- out sending to Maine. e objection to the in- troduction of the particular letter issaid to be that it might make another investigation or ex- planation necessary. " Blaine’s friends say that if he can be saved at all it will be by u viiorous personal explanation in the House, in which he shall denounce the persons who have been pursuing him as perse- cutors, couse the Mulligan letters to be read, and place himself before the comntry as the victim of a deliberate, persistent, and malicious Confederate -persecution. It cannot be con- cealed that, notwithstanding the persistent rep- resentations of Blaine that his course can be justified, his position GIVES GREAT ANXIETY TO HIS FRIENDS. His best iricnds, however, admit that if Blaine is entirely innocent of the matters charged he has been'his own worst enemy in the methods he has adopted. His approaches to the witnesses Mulligan and ~Fisher in this case, and to the witness Robinson in the Arkan- sas case, are severely criticised as being in bad taste, us an Indication of undue interest, if they are not real contempt to the House. The infer- ences drawn from these private interviews are | unfavorable. The manner in which the letters were obtained and the retention of them arc pronounced to be improper and wrongful. It is argued that the publication of any family or business matter, if there was nothing criminal, could not have been as injurious as the coursc of conduct in _which Blaine has allowed himself to be precipitated. Blaine Is naturally impetuous, and the lexities of this winter have tly irritate but it is universally conceded thiat he MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE, no matter how well he may be hereafter able to justify himsell. It is argued, even amon; Blainé’s friends, that he is not in the position of a private man, and that 95 s Presidential candi- date he cannot plead a private citizen’s privi- lege. It is conceded, too, that the hmknmfie in rallroad stocks, to which Blaine seems to have devoted much time and a good deal of money, while in & public position when rail- rond legislation was going om i a subject concerning which his~ fricnds have the right to be concerned, and on which Blaine owes an explanation. * THE LETTERS. The Jumci::{ Committee were n_session three hours to-day to decide whether the Com- mittee has any right to demand that Mr. Blaine shall sent” to the Committec the letters which he took from Mulligan. The Sub-Com- mittee, which haa made the demand upon Blaine for the letters, applied to the entire Committee for instructions. The debate was very protracted and exciting. No final decision was reached, but is under- stood that the Committece decided that no letters should be .demanded except some witness should swear that their contents had reference to the subject concerning which the investigation was ordered. If this_course shall be decided upon on Monday, the demand would only be made for the lctter aud the document which Mulligan swore were pertinent to the issue. The division in the Committee was 80 nearly equal that the Democrats did not appear willing "to vote upon the guestion. Several of the Democrats, it is understood, took the ground that the letters were sacred, no matter how he got them, and irrespective of the motive by which he might have been actuated, provided that the letters could not be identified as be pertinent to the issue within the jurisdiction of the Committee. The point is toxde that if Blaine refuscs to abide by the decision of the Committee, the House HAS NO POWER TO PUNISH HIM FOR CONTEMPT. ‘The most the House can do is to censure him’ or expel him. are tiie only powers of the Housc over a R ] ison hiin sion or censure. ch ze puniswmnent only gow end that he will “Blane aus said wday toa Tribune, PRICE FIVE_CENTS. in no event produce any of the letters except such as directly bear upon tae inquiry. B ANOTUER TACK. After the adjournment of the Judiciary C o mittee this afternoon a speclsl meeting” of tiws Committce on the Real Estate Pool was held to I‘fi;\m&ne Mr. Mullian. The examination was short, and did not “bring out any Iuformativn {from Mr. Mulligan calculated to be of valuc to the Committee or to explain to Mr. Mullimn why he was called before the Committee. Tite S]ummmw made some Inquiries with _reward to e Spencer riffe contracts, but Mr. Mulligaw’s knowledge upon this vint was t obtained ot Mrst hund, ol the " B tec was mnot able to approach the subject in such a manner as to bring Mr. Bln{lnc's contract through which he {:':i‘fl?-‘"" d T bave made $50,000. The Conunittee Mulligan some questions about Jay Cook and the Treasury Department, but heknew nothing. THE INVESTIGATIO: To the Western dssociated Press. WasniNGToN, D. C., June 3.—Tue House Ju- diciary Committee met at 10 o’clock this morn- ing, to consider the matter submitted to them by the Hunton Sklb—[)ammi'.leeL concerning Blaize’s refusal to produce letters obtained from Mulligan. At 12:35 the Committee are still in session, with closed doors. The full Judiciary Committee adjourned at 1o'clock. A loug discussion took place upon the question of compelling Mr. Blaine to pro- duce the letters before the Sub-Committee, Eul. without coming to any conclusion, the whole matter was postponed till Tuesday next. THE SUB-COMMITTEE. ° D_’l(’lhc Sub-Judiciary Committec met at 3 o’clock ay. Elisha Atkins was recalled. Safd he does not know anything about any sales of any rail- road bonds of any railroad “which received sub- sidies from the Government, nor of any sales of Northern Pacific bonds. He was acquainted with the A&uflln Adams transaction, to which allusion bad been made. Fisher proposed to witness at one time to take sonie Northern Pacific bonds, and witness agreed to do so. The firm of E. Atkins & Co. agreed to take $15,000 worth of them. Witness did not recollect what the firm was to receive for this amount. Was to receive them through Fisher from Blaine, but never got them, and the money was paid back by Fisher. He never had any other transactions in Northern Pacific, nor any transaction in Central Pacific, Kansas Pacifle, Central Branch, Western Branch, Southern gom:g, Sioux City & Pacific or Texas & Pacific 2 Blaine—~Did I ever have any money interest i{: \:r:{?snc‘lll_on you allude to in Northern Pacifie? .—No, sir. Q. —You got your moncy back with interest? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—Tf:cn it was impossible for me to have de- rived any benefit from it? A.—Yes, sir. Alr. Blaine asked that the letter written by Atkins 29th May, 1876, keretofore published in regard 2 to this case, be put in evidence, which was done. WARREN FISIAR, JR. recalled, testified that he purchased from Blaine, Dec. 1, 1870, an {nterest in-the Northern Pacific and gnld $25,000 for it. He did not now recollect what that interest was, but kncw at that time. The attention of witness was called to a letter published in the New York Sun May 28, 1576, purporting to have been written by Blaine to witness, asking him to purchase one-cighth or one twenty-fourth part of an in- terest in the Northern Pacific Road, and he was asked if that was a correct copy of the letter re- ceived by him from Blaine. Witness said it was. The orizinal was de- stroyed Segl.. 31, 1872, when witness and Blaine had” the final scttlement. He gave a copy of this letter to Mr. Allen. The original was not. among the letters brought here by Mulligan. Witness never received his certificute of stock for his intercst, and the money was afterwards returned by Blaine. He did not know why ho did not receive his certiticate. He never asked about it, but presumed it was because. it was not a profitable enterprise. He ¢il not know woy the transaction was not consumunatd, nor HOW BLAINE WAS ABLE TO CONTROL SUCH 1N- TEREST. ‘Witness always understood that this wasa purely friendly act on the part of Blaine, aud that Blaine was not to have any iaterest init in any way whatever. On the contrary, Blaine «l- ways said he could 1ot take an intercst in it at all. It had Lrequently becn spoken of wien Blaiue visited his counting-room, and when op- ortanity offered Blaine notlfied witness about t. He never supposed that this stock belouged to Blaine.

By Hunton—He did not recollect that any of the Ietters brought here by Mulligan rclnmf to this transaction. He read only four or five of them recently. The letters he read did not re- fer in any manner to any of the different Pacific railroads which had been mentioned this after- noon. JAMES MULLIGAN was recalled, and said among the papers ob- tained by Blaine from him was onc containing acopy of the law relating to grants to tho . Northern Pacific Ruilroad. There were also some figures on it, showing that it related to 25 of 1-24 part which had been spoken of. He did not know whose handwriting it was in, bat it was not in Blaine’s. Fisher was asked at this point what the paper was, and where he reccived it, and he replicd be had 1o recollection of any such paper. Mulligan said he found it in the desk among other pupcrsi not particalarly among the corre- spondence of Blaine with Fisher, but among all the papers. Witness was rcq;_lestcd to read the receipt given by Blaine to Fisher at the time Fisher paid over that $25,000. This receipt was published in the Aquilla-Adams correspondence, May 27. After reading it witness said that this was all the contract there was between Fisher amd Blaine. He did not know why the.stock was not delivered by Blaine, and after waiting about a year Fisher refused to take the stock because solong a time had clapsed. * Q.—And this is all youknow about this trans- action? A.—Yes, sir. Ionly know that Mr. Fisher paid money to Blaine, and Blaine paid it back to Fisher Sept. 21, 1871. Q.—Did you ever hear anything more than you have testifled about the matter alluded to from any ore! A.—No, sir. By Blaine—Were you asked to bring any papers with you when you were summongd? ‘A.—No, sir. F Q.—Why did you bring these letters of mine? A.—1I did not kiow what I was to be examined about. I supposed that it would be about the matter referred to in the Aquilla Adams letters, and so I brought these letters to refresh- my memory. Ibrought them because they werc written by you, and there might be somethiug in them that I should be asked to explain. Q.—Had yon any reason to think that I wrote the memorandum_ of law qu spoke about? A.—Nore at all, sir. Oply I found it among the papers in the desk, and it related to the Northern Pacific. Q.—You say you are not unfriendly to me. Do you know of any occasion for holding o grudge inst me? A.—I nuver bad any oceu- sion to feel unfriendly, but thuught I wus not treated fairly on the occasion alluded to by Mr. Atkins geswrduy. Mr. Blaine was proceeding to make further inquiry on this point, when witness s2id, ** Do you want me to go over all that! I will let you ‘examine me if you will let me examine you afterwards.” - The Chairman remarked that that was fair, but hardly pertinent to this inquiry under present resolution. Mulligan, Atkins, and Fisher were allowed to return to_their homes, but were nutificd they were not discharged, and when wanted would be notified by tclegnpk The Committee then adjonrned till Monday. MASSACHUSETTS SENTIMENT. Special Dispaich to The Trioune. Bosrox, Mass., June 3.—Public opinion here runs strongly against Blaine.

It further says that, when on the way to Washington to an- aswer the summons, Mr. Mullizan occapled & seat by himself, and by his side was o greea bag containing the package of mysterious letters, the contents of which Mr. Blaine refases to disclose. In the seat behind Mr. Malligan were Mr. Fisherand a well-known lawyer of this city, ‘who had joined the party by accident, and to whom Mr. Fisher had said the evening before that he in- tended to tell the whole truth, and should not le tosave Mr. Llaine. The conversation patarally tarned upon the Blaine investization, and Mr. Fisher, pointing to the green bag, sald substantially that there was *“evidence in that bag which would damn Blaine.” His companion asked whatthat meant, and Mr. Fisher replied that thera was a letter in the AMr, Blaine to Mr. Fisher, which sal Y, '] have had a great deal of trouble at the heel of the session to get_this Little Rock & Fort Smith Eili through, ” and subsequently the writer adds: +41 think I deserve some compensation.” The from
