In the House yesterday Mr. Blaine rose to &@ question of privilege, and proceeded to ad. dress On the subject of the inves. Ugation into the Union Pacific and North- erm Pacific transactions in which his name had become involved. He read the res- olution offered by Mr. Tarbox (Mass.,) on we pie aR ae on the Little Rock D Dror s at the time disclat: ~_ med tou tg hima (St. Blaine)—x dieciageay auias- Pecitic inatter or any other lacident to t icvestigation was secondary, insiguifcant apd unimportant He did not complain of it. He was ready to meet it. Thegeutieman | whose statement the accusation rested (Mr. Harrison) had been the first man called, und had stated what he knew from rumor. then Mr. Rollins, Mr. Morton, Mr. Millard vod Mr. Tuomas a. Scott were ex minet, and thelr testimony was complete aad con. Jusive in d.sproof of bis (Biaine’s) having bec apy thing whatever to do with We trans- action. He had expected to have an early +. port from the comuiittze; but it had veen prolonged, anc prolonged, aud prolonged: and Le had been somewhat surprised last week 41 being told that the committee would thea turn to investigate the transactions of the Northern Pacific company on a newspaper report that there had been some effort 01 his part with @ friead in Boston to procure for him some shares of that company (which effort had proved abortive.) He had asked the gentleman from Virginia, the cuairman of te sub committee (Mr. Hanton), under what authority he proposed to make tuat in- vest!galion, and had been told tnat the au- {bority Was a resolution offered by Mr. Lat- treli (Cal.) on the3ist of January. He thought tbat that gentleman (Mr. Luttreil) would be strprised to find out that the first tuing they did under that resolution was to bring its whole force to bear on @ little transaction In Soston which had proved never to bea trans- action atall. That tavestigation was begun &rd three witnesses had testified just precise- iy as the circumstances were. He had no sooner got through with that than, in another pert of the Capitol, without the slightest Lotice or warning to bim, the Committee ou the Real Estate Pool had entered on an in- vestigation specifically aimed at him, so tbat there were three investigations goiag on at the same time without any of them being completed. He understood that the gentleman from Virginia (Hunton) proposed this morning still another inquiry about the Kansas Pa- cific railroad compavy—a transaction which was 15 years old, even if it existed, and this Was also aimed athim. Now, he wouldsay (and say it boldly) that under these general powers to Investigate specific railroad com- panies, the whole engiueering of the com- mittee was aimed personally at him. Why aid they not organize & committee to Inver - tigate James G. Blaine? He wanted to meet the thing squarely. He didn't wish tosur Dp @ny blood on this question; but he would suy that ever since a certain debate took place in the Hovse in January last it had been Known that there were gentlemen here whose feelings had been exasperated against m, and it was tobe remarked that while re were 7 democratic members of the Ju- diciary Committee, the chairman of that commitiee (Mr Knott) selected on the sub- committee to which these matters had been referred, WO members from tue south who lad been in the rebel army. KNOTT INTERRUPTS Mr. Knott, of Keatucky.—Oae word. Mr. Blaine.—After a moment, Mr. Knott.—Aliow me a word now. Mr. Bialne.— Well, go oa. Mr. Knott.—Tne matter of that ratiroa: investigation was referred to t mittee before I ever heard your uh in connection with it. I haino or part in inciting any investigation impli- cating you at all. Mr. Biaine.—Then the gentleman from Vir- gina (Mr, Hanton) insisted that olution, which was obviously ou its face nited to the $75,000 bond transaction with tre Union Pacific Ratiroad Company. oa going into all the affairs of the Littie Rock and Fort Smith Railroad Company as tnci- Jental thereto, and pursued it to such an extent that finally { had myself, throaga colleague (Mr. Frye), to take an appeal fall committee, aud the full commit- ided hat the gentleman ( Mr. flanton) 1 ro right to go into it. But when he came back be resamei the examination esacily iu the same way until It was stopped by my colleague (Mr. Frye) acting, not as my attorney, but as my friend, aud wh nrally the witness (Mulligan) came here loaded with information in regard to the Fort Smith Railroad the gentleman (Hun- ton) drew out what he knew had no refer- ence whatever to the question under tnvesti- »and then and there tosisted on all vate memoranda being allowed to be exbibited by this man Malligao, which bad ho more connection or relation with this in- vestigation than with the North Pole. The gentleman tried bis best. also, untll,I believe, tbat idea has been abandoned, to capture and use and control my private correspondeace. Ths man bad selected out of a correspond. ence runping over @ great many years let- ters which he thought would be peculiarly camaging to me. He came hore loaded wita them. He came here for asensation. He came here primed. He came here on that particular errand. I was advised of it, and i obtainea these letters under circumstances which have been notoriousty scattered Ubroughout the Unite@ States and are kuown everywhere. I have tnem (holdiog upa paces) iclaim that I have the en- lire right to these letters, not only by nata- Tal rigbt, but on all the precedents and pria- ciples of law. The man who held them in bis possession held them wrongfully; and the committee which attempted to take these letters from this man for use against me proceeded wrongfully. It proceeded in the boldest and most defiant violation of the ordinary personal and private riguts thet belong to every American citizea. I am willing to meet the Judiciary Committ teeon that point. I wanted that commit- tee io latroduce it. I wanted the gentieman frem Kentyeky (Mr. Knott) and the gentle. man from Virgiuia (Mr. Hunton) to intro- vce tbat question on the floor, and they did Lot do it. A CROSS FIRE. Mr. Knott (in his seat.)—On, no, you want to be mace a martyr of. Mr Biatne.— Yes; and you did not want it. ‘There ts the ditference. I will go a little far- ther and say that you did not dare to do it. Mr. Knott.— We will not talc about “dar. ing. Mr. Hamilton,(N.J.)—I rise to a question of orde~. 1s the gentleman’s language par. liamentary’ Mr. B aiue.—Yes, entirely so. The Speaker pro tem. (Mr. Cox, of New York, in the chair.)—1t ts for the chair to deciae. Mr. Blaine—I understand the Jadictary Committee to have abandoned that issue against me. But there has gone forth the idea or impression that ause I would not permit that man or any m&a (when I could prevent it) from holding as @ menace over my head my private correspoxdence, there moust be something in it most deadly and destructive to my reputation. I would like any gentleman on this floor gre all of them are presumed to be men of affairs, whose business hag been varied and whose inter- course has been large,) to Staud up here aad fay that Le is willing and ready to have his private correspondence for the last ten or ears handed over and made public. imply gd Does it impiy wrong- doing?

THE MOTIVE OF THE ASSAULT. Mr. Biaine —Now, 1 would be obliged for avy geutieman when he reads these letters t see the obvious intent In which thet Memorandum was made up. I desire also to call attention tothe fact that these were the letters for which I was ready to commit suicide aud sundry and divers other things in order to acquire them THE BOND TRANSACTION. Ibave ove or two mire observations to make. The specific charge which went to the com» ittee was whe:ner I was a party in interest to the $61,000 transaction, and I sub- init that up to this time there has not been one particle of proof to connect me with it. There letters were picked out of a corres. pondence extending over fifteen years. Tne man (Mulligan) did bis worst, bis very worst. They were picked outof the most intricate business correspondence of my life. 1 ask you. gentiemen, and I ask it with some feeling, if any of you conld stand a closer teruliny,@ more rigid investigation of your correspondence? MR. KNOTT'S TREACHERY. Now, there is but one piece of testimony wanting There is but one thing toclose the complete circle of testimony. There is one witness whom I cannot have, but to woom the Judiciary Committee voted to send a cable dispatch—Josiah Caldwell. I ark the gentleman from Kentucky if that cable dis- patch was sent? Mr. Knott.—The gentleman from Virginia (Hunton) and I bave both endeavored to get (oA rec ateasie address, and have not yet got it. Mr. Biaine —Has the gentleman from Ken- pony received a cable dispatch from Cald- well Mr. Knott.—I will explain that directly. Mr. Blaine.—I want & categorical answer. Mr. Knott.—I have received a dispatch purporting to be from Mr. Caldwell. How aid you know I got 1t? Mr. Blaine (advancing down the aisle).— When did you get that dispaten? Mr. Knott._I want you to answer my question first. Pinos Blaine.—I never heard of it till yeater- y Mr. Knott.—How did you hear it? Mr. Biaine.—I heard that you got a di patch last Thursday morning at eigut oclock from Josiah idwell exoue- reting me completely and absolutely from this charge, and (with great vehemence of manner) you bave suppressed it. [Loud ap- plause aud cheering on the republican side of the House and in the galleries, which caused the Speaker pro fem. to lecture the galleries and to direct tue Doorkeeper to clear the floor of ail unauthorized persons.) After some time spent in having order re- Stored, Mr. Blaine again returned to the j charge, and cemanded of Mr. Kuott an answer to his question. Mr. Kooti, (contemptuor }—I_ will answer when I get ready. Go speech, MR. BLAINE WANTS TO KNoW. Mr. Blaine—tI offer the following reso- luton: n wit your other way and what rhe geptieman (Mr. Knott) intended to convey the idea I bad some Illegitimate Kiowledge of how that dispaten was ob- tained. [bave had no communication with Mr. Josish Caldwell and 5o means of kaow- ing from the telegr@ph office when It was re- ceived; but] tell the gentleman from Ken- tncky that “MURDER WILL OUT,” and that “secrets will leak.” 1 am prepared to state to this House that at § o'clock, or tbereabouts, last Thursday morning, the genileman from Kentueky received and re- cetpted for &@ message, addressed to him, from Josiah Caldwell, in London, entirely corroborating and sustatuing the testimo: of Mr. Thomas A. Scott, whieh Caldwell ha: jos? read ina New York newspaper, and eu- trcly exenipating me from the eharge,which I am bound to believe, from the suppressioa of that dispatch, gentiemen are anxious to fasten upou me. I move the previous ques- tien op the resolution. Mr. Holman, of Indiana, suggested that the resolution could only be voted for under @ suspension of the rules. Mr. Blaine.—Not at all. The resolution embraces the highest of privileges, and in- volves tbe good faith and honor of the Jadi- ciary Committee. A DEMOCRAT SUPPORTS THE DEMAND. Mr. Jones, of Kentucky.—The questiou put by the gentleman from Maine to my col- league is @ proper question and ouglt to be a ee ihave no doubt will be an- 8 s Mr. Blaine.—I thank the gentleman from Kentucky. Mr. Hunton followed Mr. Blaine, and gave a review of tue work of the sub-committee as far as it had progressed. He denied that it was the intention of the committee to pro- long the investigation. He was speating of the Mulligan correspondence when Mr. Frye interrupted him and asked: Did uot Mr. Biaineotler tosubmit those letters to be examined privately, and did not Mr. Hunton say that he would not, examine them privately? Mr. Hunton.—I refused to receive them privately. over again, ‘Ido not want to see your cor- respondence either publicly or privately. I heye got no right to see it except as a com=- mittee man, and those gentiemen who sit on either side of me have thesame right as [ have. Ido not mean to receive avy papers which my colleagues on the committee can. not see and inspect with me.” | Toen I had the bovor ofan invitation to Mr. Biaine’s house to read those letters, but I replied ia the same way, “I have no right to go into your house as’a private citizen amd read your private correspondence. If I have a right to look at itat ail itisas chairman of the committee. If have no right to look a 1tin that = Lhave no right tolook at it all, and [ shall not do it.” It 1s for the House to determine whether the committee did right or wrong. If I have erred it has been error of jadgment, and I say to-day itis @ Job that I never fancied. THE CALDWELL DISPATCH. Mr. Biatne.— Does the gentleman from Vir- ginia _koow of adispaten received from Jo- siah Caldwell in London’? Mr Huntoa.—My friend, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, will reply to you in fall on that sabject. Mr. Blaine.—Then I ask you to state wheth- er on Thursday morning last the geatieman from Kentacky (Knott) did pot cail you out of the committee room and acqaaint you of that fact? Mr. Hunton.—If my friend from Kentucky does not answer you in full, 1 will. ‘Mr. Blaine (coutemptuously).—Ahb! MR. KNOTT RISES TO EXPLAIN. Mr. Knott, (Ky.) chairman of the Judic- iary Committee, said he had listened to im- {ations upon himself within the last two Bours, wht coming froma &.ditterens source, he might perhaps answer very ferently from the manner in which he should now at- tempt to answer them.

(Murmurs of dissent from the liga sige ai well's address, and that this is the everyday method of ascertaluing the address of per- sons? Mr. Knott.—The gentleman knows more about it thav_I do. Mr. Hale.—_I know enough to know that. ‘Will the geptieman read the dispatch, tn order to let the House see what is ip it? Mr. Kcott.—When I get ready i will. I have asked the ieman from Malne, who seems to be so thorongbly posted about it, bow he got his informatios, aud be has de clined to tell me. Now let the matter rest right there. 2 Mr. Frye.—If the gentieman from Ken- tucky refases to produce that dispatch I Will be entirely satatied that Mr. Biaiue has pot learned the whole of it, and 1 desire to ask If there ts not something else in thatdis- pateb which if kept back?

The House refused to second the previous question, and then, on motion of Mr. Bau: Bing (Ohio), the motion of Mr. Blaine was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary— yeas 124. bays 97. Tbe House, after a day of great excite- ment, adjourned at 6 o'clock. The Letters.
