WasitiNoToN, D, C. 1t Is douhtful whetlier there lins ever been n greater sensation fu the House than Mr. Blaine and his caso cuused. ‘The central part, and the moxt mportant part, of the whole affair was the production of tho letters taken from Mulligan, 'This was preceded by o s vere chargo of unfalr treatment at the hands of tho Sub-Comnmitlee charged with investigating the varlons sabjects with which his name had been connceted. BLAINE'S CHARGES UNPOUNDED, ‘Thir areaignment was severe, and made an Im- presslon on the lonse, though the eubsequent Hatement of Hunton certainly showed that Blaine's charge In these respects conld not bo made good. TIE LETTEIS. Nextcame the reading of oli the letters. Tho univerend verdict fe that, oo far as the matters cmbraced in the discunsion were concerned, np- on theso letters, read coolly and npart from the heat of to-d: proceedings, ho must stand or fall. Opinfons are divided ns Yo thelr effeet, und uj tn 12 o'clock no one has been able to examine enples of them, and few eare to be gulded alone In making np judgments upon so grave o matter by impresslony received from their rapld reading on the floor, HUNTON AND RNOTT. ‘The direct charge upon Proctor Knott, Chalrman of the Judiciary Committee, that he had telegraph- cd Caldwell and received a reply fully exoneratlag Mr, Nlaine, produced almoat ax much scnsation as the reading of the letters, and called out a wonder- ful busst of sympathy und appfduse for Mr. Dlaine, and for atime he ecemed Lo be carrying the Houre and galleries with him. Tho reply of Hunton to the charge of mafalr treatment which followed thiy, proved to the Honvo that the Sub- Committee bad nelther delaged the Investigation nor been actunted hy auy unfalrness, Procter Knott cloged. i statement in regard o the Cald- well matter showed that ., HE HAD KOT COMMUNICATED WITH CALDWELL, end that nelther he nor any of his colleazuen the Cammitteo could ascertaln his forelen adires Jlut a telegram pur}mrllng 10 be from Cnldwell had tomo from Londom; o ne one had tele- graphed Bim, and ' as his frlends hers #aid he was in Italy und not in London, he had not fully made up hismind that the telegram wus genu- 1ne, and he hnd not yet decided that it was his. A etatement of the contents of the diupatch made it of lesa convequence than had heen represcnted, wnd, Inshort, the effect of his speech was Lo leuve this part of the rubject entirely undechled. ABOUTTHE SUB-COMMITTEE, ‘Tho nccuration which han wo’ often been made by Blalues rriends, and which e openly repented t day, that Proctor Knott, the Chalrman of the Judi- einry Comnmittee, had given this subject into the hands of the unly two nfederats officer of the Commuittee In order that they might revenge thom- selven far the dumage Blaine had done them in the amnesty debnte early in the scsslon, was probably unfust. The kub-Commnitice refurred to was appalnted long biefore the Llalny {nvestigation wan thought of. While the Tarbox resolution mizht well have been referred to otber members of the Commiitice, it very natnrally went whers other resolutlons :&'lulln': o the l’n‘ill c rallronds were al- rendy under conslleration; bdt, althougl hianccu- sntion was not well fonnded, iLhad 8" very great eifect on the Kepublican side of the House. — TIIE LETTERS, TUEY ARB NOT CHEDITABLE PRODUCTIONS FOR AN EX-SUEARER, Spectal Dispateh to The Tribune.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune, Wasisatoy, D. C., June 5.—Blalno's speceh commenced Piimont breathleas sitenco. It ended In an almost perfect thunder of applause. Dlaine has tong been noted for the wondertal fertility of s Intellectual resoutces, for hls parllamentary #kill, and for his audacious bravery, He made uno of all his resources to-day, Mo wes calm and de- lbernte, impassioned and audaclons, by turn, snd always eklliful. As the clfmax approched, ho exhibited a cournge which subdaed his opponenta and clectrified the House. There has probably never been A more dramatlc ond cffective rcene In the llouso than occurred when Blaine, waiking down the long alslo from his seat 1o tho centro of the arcna in front of the Spenker's desk, with threatening cloguenco ar- ralmed Proctor Knott for suppressing that excul- patory telegram from Josthh Caldwell. The thunder of applause which drowned Nlalne's strong volce scenied to turn the red cheeka of Proctar Knott*to palencas, The followlng com- menta upon the effect of the resulta of the day's work, —ita effect upun Blalne as o man snd o8 o Prestdential candidate, —have been derived for tho most part PROM 118 FRRSONAL AND POLITICAL FRIENDS. Thoy any that bla statement hos shown his en- tire franknces a8 aman and o polltician, It was an effort to invite'40,000,000 of people to his pri- vate confidence, but he did this In o manner which hus sutisfled the publle demand, and hos at tho some timo presorved his personal honor, 1ii sensitiveness abaut having thoro letters printed shows thot o haa a fino seuse of propricty, and tho general judgment {8 that he has been bunefited by the production of the fotters, Many aro convinced that the letters show Blalne's Integrity and man- hood to bo ' ON THN MIONEST PLANE, The ldtters, 1t I8 trne, the Bialie men say, show that e has had transactions in rallroud borids, hnt they also {ndicate the hiyheat aenao of honor in connection with his busineas transactions, Two jotnta, [t ta fuwiated, are expockally catablished hy he letters: Firat, thoy afford conclusive evidenco that Bialne 18 not the wenlthy wian ho has been gonstderad to be, far it appears that, s lafe as 1874, be found {t diflcult 0 raleo comparatively amall sums of money.

Knntli Chnirman of the Judiclary Committer, anld ho had listenod to Imputstions upon himself within tho last two houms which, coming from a different source, he might perhaps nnswer very differently from the manner In which he whould now attempt ta answer thom. Those who were Intimatoly scquainted with him knew that he was the last man In the worll to aeck a peraonal contraveray, and he assured tho Houso that of all men in the world the gentleman from . Mnaine (Binlue) was the last man with whom ho would secke such a controveray, That gentloman was entlrely oo immense in his propegtions: i ng. maa, he doth beatride this narrow world olosaur, and wo petty men Wallk undor hin huge Jegs and peep abaut To find ournclves dishonnrable graves, " Asa friond of 1ds would say, the gentleman was entirely too bumptious and 'too usurptious for him, Lm:!;:hmr on the Democratic alde, | Two-thirds of the tima the gentleman waa in the ITouse ho did not seem to realize whether he was Bpasker or only simply a member, and to a stran- ger 1t would "Le an” unsolvahle enlginn to know which ho was, Tho gentieman had unnccessarily lugred him (Knott) Into this personal matter of bleown.
