It was necessary to get Caldwell's testimony. When tho Commitice pm‘:aud ta Lclcfirnph Cnldwell Blaine objected, but perhaps Blaiue had good reasona for ralsing these nbjections. He¢ went on to rchearse tho story of the Caldwell telegram, and sald that as soon as he received it ho thought it extremely fishy, and it thien oceurred to hiin that it wos 8’ scheine con- cocted on this side of the Atlantic to make tho Judictary Committes and the House ftscif the instrument of porlpul.mlng s fraud on the American people. Hewas convinced of it, he wvafd, on hearing Mulligan relata the converaution of bis famous interview with Blalne, wherein the latter groveled abjectly In the dust fin- Yluflng Mulligan not to destroy hin, and where, n the face of the pledge to return the leitors, Blaine coolly put them in his pocket, Iesub- nitted that “atter that he had ample grounds for belleving that Blalne would not. scruple to be o party to the concocting of the Caldwell telegram or auything clee that would tend to protote his private or political ends, 5 Passing on the dispatches sent to Caldwell, under what he called his “meilifluous psen- donym " of Favo, he sald that Favo was the {tatlan word for honeycomb, aud he considered the name very appropriate in conslderation of the honey wliich Caldwell bad gathered through the instrumentality of his arch-broker, Jamces G, Dlaine, and of his being the gushing recepta- clo of the precious tressurcs extracted for lim by tho nctive and disinterested Blalne. Cald- well bad adopted the dispatch concocted for him, but he would just s readily adopt u dis- pateh requcetln{: him to say that Blalne stood y and pave dircctions when God Almighty whc‘elul tho dirt out of which the world “was made. Mr. Frye replied to Knott's speech. e sald he did not know when ho was more gfllncd than he wus tu-day, or when his feelings had been so wounded as thicy had been todny. Anattempt by him to review the testimony under tie Tarbox resolution was entlrely un- neeessary, and an attempt to review it and _pronounce Iéudgmm on it hy the gentleman from Kentucky (Knott), when that case had been postponed “untit next Decomber, yras without the slightest justification, honor, or parliamentary law. That testimony, when it was reported 1o the Ilouse, would convince, beyond & doubt, cvery honest, slucero sceker afier truth, that Blaine nover had aught to do with the $70,000 Little Rock & Fort Smith bonds that were purchased by Scott of Cald- well and sold to the Unlon Pacific Rallroad Company.

He did not propose to review the testimony In referencoto tho Caldwell digpatch, but he assericd that {t failed to show anything whatever as to Bluine Inspiring, or sending, or secking to have sent, auy dispatch to Caldwell, Ie repeated what himselt and Mr, Blalne bad sgain und again sald to Knott, that he might pursuc the investigation to the very bitter end, and that at that end he would not find the Homn.

THE DUNNY PIOCTOR PUTS 113 FOOT IN IT, Speclat Dispatch to The Tribuns. ‘Wasmxaroy, D, C,, Aug. 8.—Proctor Knott made the most extraordinary exhibition of him- self to-day, which was us scverely condemned by his' own party friends as by the Republic- an side of the House. The Judlelary Commit- tee had presented a unanimous report upon Mr. Blaino's resolutfon dirccting an investization of his charge thot Knott had sappressed the Callwell dispateh. The Committee were unlted in exoncrating him, and soreported. To tho surprisc of everybody, Knott took the floor and reviewed the Blaine matter in the most unjust manuer, anding etyleas grossly objectionable ns tho matter. Bessra. Frye, Hale, and Me- Crary, of the Cwmnmittee, in turn reviewed hisremnarks with a severity seldom reached in debate. The majority of the Democratic slde appeared to regard the arraignment as entlrely just, and, to pive expressiou to this beliet, Ilurd stated that, nftas the most remarkmble epocch of Enott, with the concurrenco of scven other members of the Committee, he asked to with- draw the report. ‘he Republican members withdrew thelr names from the report, and some Democrats will on the ground that Knott's specch proved hits malice, whilo the Committee in the report had expresscd the bellef that he had not been actuated by a malicious motive, THE PEELING ON TUE DEMQCRATIC 8IDB was well indicated by the fact“thnt only fifty- Blx, nearly all of whom were in the Confederate army, voted for his cxoneration. The character of speeches in reply to Kuott may be judged from the verbatim extract from the remarks of Mr. Frye, given in the Associated Press report the debate, was not Glled with reckless bitterness, by mal- ice, Ly wicked purpoac, would ever darc’ nssert thut Biaine Instigated, stood over, or helped on Caldwell's clerk (Reed) to publish these dis- patches. When Blaine was on the floor, the pentleman from Kentucky had not sttempted to make any mdack lpon lfm, He had undertaken & feebls and unworthy defense against Blatne, The friends of Knott had asked him to szree to a report that should exculpate him. They aaid thay he desired ex- culpation, because he had unfriendly looks and unfriendly criticism from his own eide of the House, He had Jearned gradually to have con- fidence in that gentieman, to sdmire him, aud to love litm, and_he had 'cxculpated him, aud suld that he had Kkept back tuat telegrum In good fafth, But exhibition of malice wiich the gentleman of Kentucky linil dared to make in the absenca of Mr. Blaine had satisfied him that he had not learned or known that gentleman Knott) fn tho deep recessea of his lieart. 'hat fiuutlnm-n knew that God had struck down Blaine; that for two and o hulf days ho had never uttered one word, had mever roe- ognized his wife or child, had never closed his eyes, and yet he stood up fu the Iouse, and, in the absence of_Blaine, Insinuated that it was all apart of a play, that Blaine wus & great and 1cading character in-it, aud that he played his part adimirably. A gentleman who would do that showed o muolfeo Sllug his heart, driving out dlscretion, driving out justice, driving out affection, driving out all that Is good,and pure, and holy, aud fllling it entirely with its own devilist, wicked form. It wasthere to-day in full growth, in vigorous life. It wus there when ths tele; rom Caldwell was recclved originally. f it was there then, ho would sy to the Republlican members of the House that they would*bo_justified In voting to 2 man that thereport of the Judictary Cominit- tee was not a rightcous, and just, and falr re- ort, and that it ought to berocommitted to the mmitice for amendment, HUNTON AND FRYE. Mr, Hunton, a member of the Judiclars Com- mittee, referred to a remark made by Mr. Frye, to the effect that no member of the Sub-Com- mittee had a lingering suspicion that Blaine had anything to do with the Little Rock & Fort Bmith bonds. Mr., Frye (interrupting)—Did T not say, “An?‘ gentleman with an lonest, uaprejudiced mindi® \Encouragement on the Kepuolican sfde.] Hunton—Does the gentlemsn mean to say thut § am not on that list?

Mr. Frye—The one hour that was given to this slde of tha House ia being consumed by the gentleman from Virginia witfiout any right, OXE PACT touching the characterof dispatehes in this cor- respondenco during the Cinclunati Convention {a clearly brought oot by Mr. Frye. As'3Mr. Blaine was taken about noon Sunday, Mr. Frye’s statement fixes Tuesdoy evening os the timo when Mr. Blaine first returned to consclousness, This fully sustains the accuracy of tho disputed specials in this correapondence, and establishes tho falsity of nearly all the bulletine about Mr, Blaine's condition purported to have been re- colved by Messrs. Italo ond Frye dircet during Monday and Tucsday before tlio Convention. KNOTT'S UNDOING. Knot$_has made the most conspicuous faflure in the House of Representatives during tho resent scsefon of Congress. When he came to YVnhmgtun in December lnat the projudices of tho House and of the penlplc throughout the country were slmugl{ in lfs favor. Ile was re- membered ns a genlat member of the Forty- second Congress, lpouuu-d of lterary tastes ang_droll wit, and, though ho was then very modest and retiring in his manner, ho galned the good will of every vne who Yenow him. When, therefore, ho svas appointed by Speak- er Kerr to the Chajrmanship of the Committes on theJudiclary, tho selcction was generall approved, although many of Knott's most intl- mate friends had previously failed to discover that ho posscascd any especlal qualifications for tho nsl?lun. “Fo tho country ut large he was chiefly known ns the uutlior of his famous speeeh on Duluth, which did _mors to advortise that then pmmulufg town on Lake Bupcrlor and the Northern Paciflc Raflroad than half & dozen ald articles in the newspapers. $1is Cammittea was charged with several very fmportant {nvestigations which, if conducted with that judicial” fafruess and marked nbility which is cxpcuwd to distinguish the inquirles of the Luw Comumitteo of the House, would cer- tuinly have added to the reputation not only of the Committec sa n whole, but especlally to thatof fts Chalrman; but Mr, Knott, casly in tho sesslon, displayed such A NARROW MANTIBANAIIE iu his methiods of Invesiigation, and on mony occusions was apparently so unfair i his treat- ment of thoss who were Involyed that he lost the respect, especlally of his political opponents, and of those who, regardless of Puny‘ desired to sco falr play. 1 Mr, Ilunton—TI trust this time will not bo the nves! 1,tlfln)n tfiuc\'m‘ fi{‘&‘,’}&'."{%‘f..f;{‘;‘;‘,‘, taken from the other side of the House. d with the lnfl.a( tho ;15,0&) worth of the honda | 8gwin desire to call the attention of tho gentlo- mun from Malne that beforo 1 hind answered what ho sald he Interposcd a remark from which au finproper inforencs in refercnce tomy char- acter might be drawn. of the Little Rock & Fort Smith Rallroad Com- bany to the Unfon Pacific Rallroad Compuny.

The report was made up principally on teconfeal grounds, hut 1t went further, It did not negative the propositfon that there was malicc on the part of Kiott, and no man who had listened to his speech would doubt that was what was moving him to-day. Malice had been imbedded n his licart for weeka. * 1t was malice that lay in walt, In conclusion, he sald: If my colleague had sat hiere In his scat, tho gentletnan from Ken- tucky (Kuott) would have o more dared make that speeeh than the mouring owl dares to ven- ture forth when tho eagle is abroad soaring in lis pride. [Applause on the Republican side.) Mit, M'CRARY, n mesnber of the Judiclary Committee, ex- chsncd hig regret that the' Chalrmun of the udiciary Committee had taken advantage of the vpportunity offered him by his collesgues and discussed the whole subjuet” of the {nvesti- atfon, 1o compared the ‘treatment receved by Blaloe with the gencrous treatinent sccorded by the Republicun side of the House to Kerr, and declared that Kerr's vindication was not. so complete, nor s0 thorongh, nur so overwhelming 08 was Bluinc's, s #m. 110AR, another member of the Judiclary Committee, said thut he had netented to the report not on any technical groudd, but because he had deemed the gentleman from kl:muuky incapable of the act of suppression charged against him, He had thought su beeansg that gentlenan's high posi- tion as Representative front the honored State of Kentucky, and as Chairman of the Judiclary Committee 0f the House, h&d outweighed any susplefon growing put of the facts bufore the Cotumittee, Ie had listened to the speech of that gentleman with the profoundest sorrow and shame, nud If he hdd heard it before sigming the report he should ndt have signed ft, MR LAWRENCE, anothier member of the Judiciary Committee, expressed his regrab at the exbibitlon witnessc by the Ilouse to-day, and sald that he would novw insist that the'report which he had sicned should be recurnmitted to the Judicfary Cotn- mittee for review, ¢ MR, NURD, who had presented the report, sald that the pentlenton ou the minority of the Cominittee, who had just spoken, did not regret more than ie himself did what had transpired to-day, He lad presented to the Iouse o report unani- mously agreed to, and as to which he had sup- ruscd there would be no discussion or de- bate, He had In conversation given lis wrord of hunor to Mr, Frye that there was to be no discuesion of the report. 1lle bad supposed that all that was intended to be sald was that which related to tl.e Chalrman of the. Cominit- tec, and that was necessary for his Individual and personal exculpation. ™ He regretted the de- birte beeause 1t hait compelled those gentiemen who bad so kindlyand gencrously signed the report and agreed to its being pregented to the House, to withdraw thelr approval from it, Iy . was not liere to express any opinfons as to what had been said - by the Chairman of the Juditlury Cotnmitice or a8 to the differ- ent propositions which he lad discussed. A report had Dbeen presented which afforded that entleimnan abung mlexmfl‘mtlml, and which had heen signed by the minarity of the Comunltteo with chicerfultiess und_frieniliness. e (Hurd) would atill mentfan that thie report was trus and that the propesitions In it, both of law an of fact, were abundantly sustained, but six members of the Judiciary Committee having requested of Iim to buve the report withdrawn for further sction, Me now mude the neccssary motfon for that purpose.
