THE MULLIGAN LETTERS'.
; The recently published correspondence
between James G. Blaine, Josiah Cald
r well, and W. Fisher, jr., is too voluminous
( to publish in full. We give the following
synopsis:
October 4th and sth, 1869. Blaine to
1 Fisher, enclosing money to pay sub
scriptions of other parties | to Little Rock
& Ft. Smith railroad], making, with
previous remittances, $130,000. May
get $20,000 more. “No one will ever
■ know from me that I have disposed of a
single dollar in Maine, so there need be
■ no embarrassment in talking with Mr.
Caldwell.”
November ISth, 1869. Blaine to
Fisher. Proposes to help Fisher’s friends
at Little Rock to secure a national bank
at the n< xt session of congress, if they
wished him to “cast an anchor to wind
ward.”
December 29th, 1870. Blaine to
Fisher. Some subscribers for bonds are
dissatisfied about not ®"-‘‘ing all t’ e
coupons. Have promiscu to try to in
fluence you to make a satisfactory ar
rangement. “I wish you could give me
the benefit of that fraction, making 32 of
the first mortgage bonds for $81,500. 1
use tie extra SSOO in adjusting the
• interest matter, and it fits completely.”
January 26th, 1871. Blaine to Fisher.
Have asked Mr. Caldwell to meet me and
Col. Thotnas A. Scott here next week.
Believe $300,000 can be put out ad
vantageously. “I ought to have given
notes for the $25,000, and I ought
also to have the $82,060 vends, which
were made by yourself and Mr. Caldwell
the express basis of the $25,000 loan.”
Not receiving them las been a great
hardship.
April 21st, 1871. Blaine to Caldwell-
Begs repayment of $25,000 which he
borrowed and lent to Caldwell, receiving
for it $50,000 in bonds.
April 25th, 1871. Caldwell to Fisher.
Please help Blaine if you Can. 1 cannot.
“Blair,e is an important man for us to
feel all right toward us.”
June 14th, 1871. Blaine to Fisher.
My connection with the Fort Smith
enterprise has pkced me in a very em
barrassing position. I have turned into
your treasury $250,6’60: painful perplexity
has been the only result. "If you will
pay me cash for the SIO,OOO of coupons,
and give me the $45,000 of bonds,” I will
wait your convenience for the rest. I
cannot go farther without ruining myself
past recovery.
September 30th, 1871. Fisher to
Blaine. It is the greatest importance
• that the parties owning the in.erest in
the $2’5,000, and invested l>y them in the
Northern Pacific railroad, should receive
w hat is due them and, unless something
is done about it I shall be forced to turn
• (he documents over to them and let you
settle directly with them. Mr. Caldwell
tells me he has paid you his last note due
you, you the $59,000 land bonds
in addition.
October 24 h, 1871. Fisher to Blaine.
Caldwell says he has paid you all but
$2,500 of the $25,000 borrowed. A< col
lateral for this money you received Little
Rock bonds for $50,000, an 1 sold them for
$30,000 cash. If Caldwell lad not paid
you a cent, you would be ahead. Having
been fnquer.tly importuned for the
securities of the Northern Pacific, I w
fbreed to surrender your obligation to the
parties in interest. Now they will not
take the securities, but claim the money
from you.
November 3d, 1871. Blaine to Fisher,
bheie ate still dua me $20,000 land bonds
and the first mortgage, $32,000. The
matter must be settled some way at once.
November 4th, 1871. Fi herto BLine.
I cannot say anything till I see Caldwell.
N< veuibei Bth, 1871. Blaine to Fisher.
Plea-e let me have the bonds.
November 10th, 1871. Fisher to Blaine.
You and your friends have received bonds
according to contract. As the road
' progresses, I can furnish you more bonds.
April 16th, 1872. Fisher to Blaine,
kour fiver of the 13tb instant reached
me this morning. 1 a:n surprised at its
contents. I have loaned you, at various
' times when you were comparatively poor,
very large sums of money, and never have
you paid me one dollar from your own
pocket, either principal or interest. 1
have paid sundry amounts to others to
whom you were indebted, and these
1 debts you have allowed to stand unpaid,
like the notes which 1 hold. I have
placed you in positions whereby you have
received very large sums of money without
one d.Jlar of expense to you, and you
ought cot to forget the act on my part.
Os all the parties connected with the
Little R ek A Fort Smith no one has
been so fortunate as yourself in making
money out of it. Y'ou obtained sub
scriptions from your friends in Maine for
the building of the Little Rock & Fort
Smith railroad. Out of their subscriptions
you obtained a large amount, both ol
bonds and money, fcee of cost to you. I
have your own figures, and know the
amount. Owing to your political position
you were able to work oft all your bonds
at a very high price, and the fact is wel l
known to others as well as myself. Would
your friends in Maine le satisfied if they
knew the facts? Are my associates
satisfied to have you obtain $25,000 for
the Northern Pacific railroad, and you
not make the investment as per agree-
I meut? The course you have thought
' i proper to take in regard to my request is
’ I rather a poor one, taking your relations
1 i with me, and 1 again ask you to reconsider
' it and grant it. You will find it much
1 easier to pay by obtaining the credit, and
' i I selected that course, thinking it to be
‘ the lest. If'youarain decline, I shall
• | be obliged to use the notes or sell then:
to outside purchasers. Necessity knows
■ no law. Whatever bonds still due to you
’ will be delivered as the road progresses. ’
I To tic other portions of your letter I
make no reply. You know the facts; it
is sufficient that I know them, and it is
useless to mention them at this time.
April 16th, 1876. Blaine to Fisher. I
want you to send me a letter like the one
enclosed.
April —, 1876. Fisher to Blaine. I
observe that certain newspapers are
making, or rather insinuating, the (tbsurd
charge that you own or had owned
$150,090 of Little Rock A Fort Smith
railroad bends, and that you had in some
way obtained them as a gratuity. The
enterprise of building the Little Rock A
Fort Smith rnlroad was undertaken in
1869 by a enmnany of gentlemen, of
which myself was one. The bonds were
put upon the market in this city on what
was di-etncd very advantaieous terms to
the purchaser. They were sold largely
through myself. Y'ou became the pur
chaser of about $30,000 of the bonds on
precisely the same terms that every other
buyer received, paying for them in in
stallments. running over a considerable
period, ju tas others did. The trans
action was perfectly open, and there was
no more secrecy in regard to it than if
you had been buying flour or sugar. I
am sure you never owned a bond of the
read that you did not pay for at the
market rate. Indeed, lam sure that no
one received bonds on ai y other terms.
When the road got into financial diffi
cu’ties. and loss fell upon you, you still
retained your bonds, and you held 'hem
clear through the of the
company in 1874, exchanging them for
stock nnd bonds in the new company.
You acquired also some demands against
the new company by reason of your
having joined with others in raising some
money when the company was in pressing
need. For the recovery of that money
proceedings are now pending in the
United States court in Arkansas, to
which you arc openly a party of record.
Conecalment of the investment and every
thing connected with it would have been
very easy had concealment been desirable,
but your action in the whole matter was
as open and as fair as the day.
