I wish it to be dis. tinetly understood that except at the time of his calamity I have had no professional connection with his case, and that my opin- jon can be accepted as the result of @ most careful examination and a full conversation with him, without any regard to differing diagnosis or any other circumstancea then the fact that he is relieved of all nis threat ening symptoms, and promises complete aud speedy recovery. This is seut since the one written by his own band. OPINION OF MR. BLAINE’S ATTENDING PHYSICIANS. Tre following was sent by Drs. Pope and Vere to Mr. Hale at 10:30 p.m: “Our most sangaine anticipations realized. Mr. Blatne’s condition nas im proved so rapidly to-day that wo feel no hes itation in stating that his complete recovery is at hand. We enj-in the quiet and rest usually recommended tn sach ca: bar baye vo apprehension whatever of a relapse. The reaction is healthy and complete. Our view 1s amply confirmed by tho dispatch wWoicb he wrole this eveniug with bis own band.” A TELEGRAM FROM are MINISTER WASH- BURNE Among the numero:s telegrams of Inquiry and sympathy at Mr. Blaine’s reside ; terday was one by cable from M Washburne at Paris reading: “Your grieves me, Are you better?” About 4 o'clock yester ~~ afternoon the ropes which had been blockasing vehicles from passing near the house were rémovet by order of Mr. Blaine’s physicians, who considered this precaution no loager neces sary, in view of his greatly improved condi- tion. Many friends called last nigut to oifer congratulations tothe family upoa the as- sured convalescence of Mr. Blaine, and he Was allowed to converse with several of them. He manifested great cheerfuluess, but was apparently free from exciteme: Among the many callers were Secretarie Chaualer and Robeson, Senators Morrill of Malice, Morril! of Vermont, and Allison, and Representatives Garfield and Kas3o:, His Recovery Assured. Mr. Bisine had a good night, and feels very tauch refreshed this morning. He says be feels better, and relishes his food more than before he was taken sick.

The Bt © Amvestigation. GREEN DENOUNCED AS A PERJURER. Mr. Joseph B. Stewart, who has been in the city for several days waiting to testify before the sub-Judiclary Committee of the House investigating ex-Speaker Biaine, is out ina @ card in which he denounces as false in every particular the testimony of Thomas A. Green, so far as regards Mr. Biaine and bis alleged connection with Kan- sas Pacitic railway affairs. He presents re- cord aud documentary evidence confi:ma- tory of each allegation contained in this statcment, and states that he holds himself in readiness to prove Mr. Green to be a faisifier aud a perjurer. He says Green bas stated what is positively false when he says, upon 0@.b or otherwise, that he (Stewart) at ay time or place, or under aay cireum- ®linces, or for any purpose, used or men- toned the name of “Hon. James G. Blaine,” or “Congressman Blaine,” or “Speaker Blaine,” or any other cognomen or soubri- Cred which meant or could mean the Hon. ‘anes G. Blaine, Representative in Congress fom Maine, in reference to aay bonds or any subject of litigation pending between bunseif and the Kansas Pacific Railway company in the circuit court of the United States for the district of Kansas or elsewhere. Mr. Stewart closes by saying: ‘I can ouly imagine from my knowlege of the man and the fertility of his*inventive genius that he cooked up his story for tne pul of ob- taining aride to the Ceutenuial exposition at the government expense. Certain it is that all bis statements involving Hon. Jas. G.

No, gentlemen, the late war was not a mere prize Sght for uatioval supremacy. It was the outgrowth of the conflict of irreconcilable moral, Social and political forces. Demoe racy bad its lot with the moral, social and political forces of tae cause which was lost; the republican party, with those whieh trl- umpbed and survived the prese on of the results ot that victory, devolves npon us here, and now democracy has no tradition of the past; no impulses of the present. ro aspirations for the fature fitting it for this task. The reaction of 1874 has already spent itself in a vain effort to realize the situation. It bas simply demonstrated that no change in thé machinery of the government can be had outside of the republican party without drawipg with it@ practical nullification of the great work of reconstruction of the financial chaos and administrative revola- tion.

How the Speech was Kecetyed. The +peecch was delivered in good style, @nd with distinctness sufficient to be heard throughout the hall, and its various poluts were received with applause, which, on sev- eral occasions, was tumultuous. The refer- ence to the order, ‘Let guilty mau es- enpe.” was rec ed with especial fervor, Which was renewed when be said that the créer had been executed.

Mr. Piochback expresset great astonishment At the dissemblance and insincerity of the republican leaders, and atded that |i seemed to bim that they are goverae? more by the Goctrine that there shoali be honer among thieves than by the principles which form the correct basis of sound ad popular gov- ernment. He then gave notice to the deleratian taat if be fai! in the coming ® te, and let the blican bmission and admitted the su, Saxon civilization, still he held thet the virtues of his race are being exemplified epee ay ho le cu ibe south since the war, and which tbe northern adveoturers, who bave to 80 great an extent held contro! there, are Tespopsivle, Noi & single negro political thief has ever been convicted fh tae courts of justice. This cannot bo said of the waite politicians. Mr. Pinchback then again announced bis determination to have the poilltical stated Of the negro fired in the coming canvass, and that he shali not allow personal cvasid— erations to control him; his persoual fartane is enfficlent to support him. He then said that bis second choice among the candidates: for the Presidency, Whose names would be Presented to the convention, is General Brie- tow. After Mr. Pinchback QMnuished his speech, Congressman Nash offered the fol. lowing resolution, which was adopted Kesoived, Toat while the republicans of Loutsiara recognize an honest differeace of opinion among the delegation, st maintain that, in accordance with lution Of Instraction p convention in Louis! vote unit on national convention, and will therefore subd- Jugate the wiil of the minority to that of the majority in all votes cast in said coaven.
