Commis- sioner Webb a few days ago had informed him that the ut to erect the bull could not be refused; but if it could be shown tuat the raliroad company was unlawfully oustructing the street it, would be the Commissioners’ duty to remove such obstruction. Mr. Colbert, the secretary, stated that on three occasions in suits brought against the company by the Fifth Baptist church the Supreme Court de- cided that the side-tracks entering the property complained of were iliegal and the church bad al- ready obtained $17,000 worth of judgments.

Mr. Dwyer suggested that the Commissioners be requested to enforce the police regulations, Mr. David Murphy complained that cars were not only permitted lo stand aloug Virginia avenue but they were cleaned la the opea street and the dust Mies in every direction. Mr. T. T. Keane said that he once called an of- ficer’s attention to the fact that cars were stand- ing ou Virginia avenue and the officer said “you dou't want me to loe my place.

The Former’s Denial of Recently Pub- lished Statements. ‘HIS LIPS SEALED AGAINST CRITICISM OF THE DRAD— ADOUBT OVER THE AUTHENTICITY OF ‘THE LETTER ATTRIBUTED TO CONELING. ‘Under the heading, “Mr. Conkling and Mr. Blaine,” the Kennebec Journat publishes the fol- lowing loterview with Mr. Blaine: A representative of this paper called on Mr Blaine at his residence yesterday to ask if he de- Sired to say anytuing in answer to the recently published letter attributed to the late Senator Conkling. Mr. Blaine’s reply was as follows: “Nothing could induce me to enter intoa contro- Yersy over Mr. Conkilng’s grave. During our Joint service in Congress—some sixteen years in ‘all—we had some exasperating controversies, but I never spoke or wrote a word concerning him ex- cept politically, and now that he is dead my lips are sealed against every form of criticism or un- kind expression, no matter what be the im- prudence or the injustice of ‘any of his surviving WHY MR.

The date shows that the lower was written Just six days after the close Of an exasperating personal debate with Mr. Conkling, and if Mr. Conkling had intended to say ‘anything of the kind he would have been apt to say it then and not immediately afterward in a vate letter, which was not given to the public twenty-two years, and not until Mr. Conkling had been dead severai montns. The whole affair was not in accordance with Mr. Conkl.ng’s habitual in debate, When asked if ue knew ansthing of Crandall or “Haddock, Mr. Blaine replied tha: he had never seen either of ‘them and nad never heard the name of either ex- cept on the occasion of his personal debate with Mr. Conkling lu 1866. ‘Though he had not charged is mind with the fact, $0 a8 to remember accu- rately, his strong impression was that they were both officers in New York “under the enrolment act during the war, aud that both had been dis- mlssed frow the service for misconduct in office, THE RECRUITING SCANDALS, Mr. Blaine was then asked if he had anything to Say about the charge that he had made money out of the recruiting fundsin the war. He replied that he might with truth be charged that he had made money by robbing the mails or by piracy on the high Seas. ‘The reporter asked if thy whole busl- ness Of the recruiting scaudal had not been Tuliy investigated in Maine, “Never,” said Mr. Blaine, “was a subject more thoroughly Or more persist” ently investigated than ihe recruiting scandals Which grew up in this state the last year of the War in connection with the filing of town quotas by wuat were known as paper credits, It was investigated by special committees of two legisla- latures, and ilnally and most searchingiy, by a public Commission composed of three prominent gentlemen—two of wuom were eminent lawyers, and the third a distinguished officer in the lave War, One Of the lawyers Was a democrat of tue most pronounced type.

Dutes it to tue dead statesman,” MR. BLAINE'S POSITION IN THE MATTER. Mr. Blaine was asked if he had not assisted the Public commission in their investigation, Mr. Blaine said that in acertain way he had done so. ‘The commission, needing voluminous information from tue War aud Navy Departments tn respect to Fecruitiag frauds, ound great difiiculty tn obtain ing What was essential to their investigation. ‘They then applied to him for aid. In their final Teport to the legislature, tue commissioners made the following ackuowiedgment of his assistance “Our inquiries had been so long baffled by tor- mal reference to inconsequential [acts aud ingent- ous Overlooking of the imuaterial matier, abour Which there Was uncertainty, that it ‘seemed probable that no evidence of ai} value to our pur- pose could be obtained from Washingion wituin the period to which our labors were conilued. In this dilemma we applied to Hon. James G. Blaine, member of Congress from tue third alstrict of Maine, and vo his effective intervention, by per- ‘sonal appeals at che departments, where our requi- sitions for documents were waiting compliance, ‘we consider ourselves largely tnd@vted tor what: ever information from these sources we have been. able to obtain.” Mr. Blaine Was further asked if he had not tried in Congress to stop all fraudulent recruiting. He replied that be hed. During tue last yeuree to War, said Mr. Blaine, recrulling frauds were ruu- ning riot throughout many of Lue loyal states.

Perhaps the most marveious narratives of an escape from an eruption ever recorded 1s that given in a letter from a Mr. A. E.

Mona Caird’s article on marriage continues with unabated energy, for that article ‘was nothing less than an argument and a plea for free love, Though the text of the controversy 1s more especially her assertion that “marriage 1s a Vexatious failure,” it ts impossible to avoid consid- eration of her flat-footed advocacy of the free-love doctrine of the obvious right of the woman to Possess herseit body and soul, and to give herselt y and soul exactly as she will. ‘That such a ition should be dis cussed by nen and women of cultivation and high Tespectability 18 Very startling. Yet for weeks past the Loudon Zeiegraph has contained daily columns of letters trom such writers on the sud- Ject, and the discussion would be endless if the editor ald not put a stop to it peremptorily.
