BunLiNgtoN, la, June 8.—~Mr, Blaine's brill- fant defense proves o fatlure, alter all, His magniticent persounity, when we cousider cloae- 1y, turns out to be exactly the worst feature we have oceasion to scan. Look at{tl Almost from the very hour of bis first admisslon to the House, peculation and corruption huve been robbing the Treasury sud rloting umld schomes of vutrogeous plunder. Leglslution hus been subjected to the control of raltroad rings, nud has been warped this way and that us the luterert of the labby demanded. The Facltie ruflrouds were gigantic schomes to deplete the Treasury, ‘The original law authorizing the construction of the Ceutral route was bad enough, But it was made still more burdensome to the public by evory succevding amondmout. The road was a publfe neceaelty, [t was highly de- alrable that it should be constructed us specdily os practicable; but It was linrdly roquired that thy public shoulkd supply the funds tu bulld the roud and then give it way. This plea of neceealty ex- tended to no other of the roules townrds tho Va- cific aubsequently planned. The Northern Pactfic was a deliberate fraud from its inception. The sole iden of its orlginators was shinply to make It Flrat, that Mr. Rlaine' nrraonal Intercsts and rep- wtation were of far greater importance, In ns mind, than ny public mntter whatever. - fe could play the Jion in his own defense—he eould mame- tze and ride rongheshod over the Woune when als reputation wan ansafled, bt he nevor, I beliove, attemptedanything of the kind in behalf of any mensure for the cood of the country, or in oppoal- tion o those whorah it by ayatem. Second, hn demonstrated that, though he dare not openly have any counection with “the **profitable Jobs* annunlly legislated (nto existence by Congress, ho was qulto willing, nnd apparently somo- what anxious, that hin *Heriendn and fupporters ehould heve @ full rhare of all'the *‘pood things" golng. e woaldn't take any portion himeclf, but he with the utinost isintereatedness. shape lecistation to the ndvantage of the peculators, and then sce to it that Iiis**frictds™ had a proper silce ont of the tspotia™ | think no one can read the acconnta of Blalne's defoune Iast Monday, and the fetters he produced withoat reaching the conclusion above {ndicate And when these conclusions are adopted, what there left of Dlafne ns a Presidential candidate?

As bad been antielpated, the con- test fu the Conventlon was between Col. J. 8tone, of Burlington, and the Hom M. A, McCold, of Fairfleld. The Ilon. §, F. Wilson was the henvy backer of McCold, the latter having been a law- student In his oflice. It I8 quite natural, under theso clreumstances, that Mr. Wilson should consider Mr. McCuld's clectlon the next best thing to being elected himscll. It I8 very satlsfactory to have a friemd in Cangross, who will carry ont one's wishes, es- pecially when one wishen to be continued na o Gov- ernment Director of the Unlon Pacliic Rallroad, and 1o have his brother retalned as, Penslon Apgent nnd deposlt the funds In one's bank, and more eapecial- Iy when one's brother has only held that place about fourteen years, DButthis Is not what I start- ed out to tell you, McCoid and his fricnds went {nto the Conveution very confldent of success, Col, Stane's friendn wers hopoful, hut not eo confldent ay the other party; el they determined to fight thelr troopns 1o the beat poxiibla advantage, Ver- bapa thelr heat strategic work was in making Mr. Wiiron Prenlident of the Conventlon. Iy thin muncu- vro kept him oft the floor, and estopped him from persanil nwwnl» to the delegntes at the critleal moment, No one reallzed thls more fally than Mr. Wilson himeelf, und henco he sought to even by lncur\mmllnu an ndorrement of MeCold “‘into the belly of his kpecch ' in assuming his position as Presldent, which, to eny the lcast, renched the **ragired edge ™ of propricty under the circumatances, and showed the *'trie jnward- ness™ of this *preat and good man.* Yet ean- dor eompels me (o say that the friendeof the nther candidate were not” cast down of thelr presiding offleer, with coolicas and o *break the machine** best man, regardless of the thought they hud everything of all this wns that, after the **favorite sons " the other connties ‘were withdrawn, and the Con- vention acttled down to square, hard work, Col, Stone recelved U8 votes, nnd Mr. McCoid i) votes, While the reanlt was a disappolntinent to McCoid and those who had undertaken to manipnlate his nomination, it 1 highly ratikfuctory to a largze ma- ority of the votors of the party In the dfuteict, ie nominatlon of Col, Stone was one eminently t to be mnde, Il enlered the army as a Licutenant in the Firat lowa Cavalry, nod camg out of it, at tho close, aa the Adjutant- General of the department’ commanded by Gen, Banka. ‘Phrough the long yearn of his rervice he hadample up;‘)umlnhlcn to enrich himuelf, but his loyalty and honesty were of that stamp which wonld admit of noihing of thiakind, and he feft the rervice poar In puree, but rich In the conti- dence and esteem of hin' aswnclates, and in the consclousners of duty to his country woll perfornie ed.

Lows,” Ill,, June 7.—There is a question which is beginning to overshadow all other publle lssues, and which {s beginuing to recelve o great share of public attention. The fact that the Lower House of Congress fa thoroughly and hopelessly under the coutrol of the Confederates, Is now begloning to exclto universal interest, since this ouse Is to ald In counting the clectornl vote for the Preasldency, and can, If it so determine, reject cach Btate in the count, untll it will be declared there I8 rig clection of Presldent, and thus throw the chioosing of our Chlef Executive fnto the Hause In this caso the ITouse, voling by Btates, eack State having one vote, will, by constitutiona limit and authority, be allowed to vote for each of the three, or less, candldates who receive the highest clectoral votes, and {f any one of these cundlilates recelve a mnufority of ull the States, then he will be declared Prestdent. It will be scen, therofore, that it is within the power of the Confederates, they holding tho mune Jority In the Ilouse, to refuss to count the electornl votes of n sufliclent number of States to defeat the popular clection, aud thus defeat the popular will. Thus It {s that the Confederata House, In o large degreo, will hold the destiny of thecountry in their hands. And this isthe question thut has startied the people with its Importance of late. If the Confederate Democracy so wiil it there In but little donbt that the doughfaces of the North, in many Statca whero the vote s close, wil o to Washington with a trumped up and feandu- lent electoral vate to appowe tha Republican clect- or# In nuch Statea, and in every auch case the Con. federate House will aceapt tiid doughface delega~ tion; or, If nat this, will throw out both dolega- tfons, and follaw up this practice until thero §s no papular election by the people. In s varlety of wavn, therefore, the Confedurates in tho House Wil Liold the country at their will next winter, Itmay be uxked whether the Northern Demacracy In Congress would permit the Confederatea to de- fent the will of the people, by throwng the vote for the Presidency inta the Housey And It may to aneweredrthut the Confederaten know thelr uen. Every thne a question of a political phuse was pre- Atuted this winterin Congresa, fu 1t not well-known that the Northern Demaceats in the House bowed in humble submlsxion and feartothe Confederntes? Thin truth {8 well extablished, that the Northern Demoerats in Congress cun be relied on to ald the poliecy of the Confederales in sny and overy emeryency. 1f the Confederntes next winter, In contempt of the publlic will, and mercly o turn the countey over to their party, rhall refuss upon fraudulest l,rumm-u to count the olectoral vote, and thas hrow the I'residential guestlon nto the loure, Witk the penple yubmit? it b, will they subinlé ta & usurpatian which wil) pot the Government inte the hands of desizning Bonrbonaand Contederates, In the evident disregurd of the will of a najority of the proplor “Fhero s only one way to frighten the Bourbon« Confederate conlition aut of trying to possesa the Government by tutrigne and fraud. 1t la a frishi- ful truth to contemplato that the Confederste House holds such acard In its hands as we have al- luded to: and the only safo way to carry the coun- try over o alarming’ criats of next wintor 1 f0f ths Ropublicans of every Northern State to carry tho vote nuxt fall 18 their soveral localitics with 8 overwhelming nwfority, 1t this shall teanapite, then the Haurbon fowss will uot dare try Its rovo- lutlonary plot of posscsslng the Government by Tald trickery.
