It sets forth that J. O. Blaine was married to Henrietta Stanwood at Pittsburg about March 23d, 1851; that prior to that time, during courtship, Blaine seduced Miss 8 an wood: that he at first refused to make repsration for the wrong done, but being afterwards strongly urged thereto and vio lently threatened with chastisement and punishment for his said wrong-doing, and perchance repenting him of evil, married her. as stated; that in June following a child was born, known asSianwood Blaine, which lived two or three years, and it was always acknowledged by the plaintiff and his wife as their son, by reason whereof the defendants say that mat ters and things as set forth in the article recited are true, and the same being true they were published of and concerning said plaintiff by defendan, as they justly and lawfully migut do. De fendants file with their answer a number of interrogatories, and require that the same be auswered by plainutr under oath, positively and without evasion, within such time as may be limited by court, among which are the following: “State when you finally left Kentucky ? If you at anytime resided there? When you went there? Where you were next employed? lu what business or calling? If the maiden name of your wife was Henrietta Hr.an- wood?

Paterson, September 3.—A meeting»of the members of the Willis Street Baptist Church was held this evening in the church to take action in regard to the charges made against the pastor, the Rev. George Guirey, by Mrs. Bradbury, of slander and hanging a Bologna sausage to the door knob of the front door of her residence. The meeting was a most disorderly one, the members being divided into two sections. Both factions became in tensely excited, and the noise they made in the church conld be heard a block awuy. The members jumped around and on the scats and called each oilier liars and hypocrites Great excitement prevailed and ihe police had to be sent for to prevent a fight. During the excitement a member fainted and fell to the floor, creating almost a panic. He was carried nut and laid oa the grass in front of the church. Several reporters were seoreted in the church, and on being discovered a howl Wf nt up from the angry crowd. The scribes were Igno- miniously ejected without ceremony. The reporters then climbed on wood- sheila in the rear of the church but were again discovered, and the window* were closed to keep the racket from being heard without. The street in front of the church was crowded with people, while tho church doors were guurded by the police. Mrs. Bradbury's followers, being unable t • cope with the friends of the paator, left the church in disgust and proceeded to the residence of a member on Market street, where an indignation meeting was held. The meetings at both the church and the house were prolonged until a late hour. After the windows of the church were closed the heaL became so intense that several women fainted. POLITICAL POINTS.

Mr. Butler it unquestionably a very dangeoua man before an audience, and he will attract large audiences. Were the election to occur to-day, I should be inclined to concede him a con siderable vote, but the weakening process is going on steadily. The people do not like to throw votes away. The certainty that hi* election ia impossible under any circumstances will deter many of his ad mirers from voting for him. It is also impossible for him to effect a permanent organization, such aa that possessed by either of the ola parties; but Mr. Butler is a remarkable man, and those who know him best admit he is a very good one.” "If the Chicago convention had placed your name at the head of the ticket, don’t you think you would have hud bis sup port?” asked the reporter. ‘‘I know it,” said Mr. Hendricks warmly, “I know it.” WASHINGTON ITEMS. the time tha robbery was committed.

SERCEANT BRAINERD'S DENIAL. Ho Denies Thnt the Creely Party Wna Broken Up Into Two Factions, Clxvslaxd, Ohio, September S.—A Washington dispatch, based on an later view with “a prominent army official," waa published in tho morning papers here to day. It alleged that general thieving ot rations had been going on among mem bers of the Greely party, aa shown by dia ries ol the men, now in possession of the War Department. The official alao ac cuse.] Orealy of having been guflty or gross deception, and intimated that hfs conduct generally was not above reproach. He then went on to say that flergeant Brafnerd, on his arrival on board the Bear, admitted that he had eaten the bodies of bis dead comrades, and accounted for his being in better condition than the otbera by the fact that be "could digest the stuff and they couldn’L" When some of the rescuing party remarked the absence of Dr. Davy's body and expressed wonder as to what became of it, Bralnerd said: "He's all gone; I finished the last of mm just before you arrived.” Sergeant Brainerd was shown this dis- patch to-day, and said to a representative of the Tones: “I want to say this, the statements at'nbuted to me board the Bear are infamous lies, and the man Who is au- thority for them is nothing more nor less than a meddlesome and envious official. I don’t care who he is, he lie* when be says that I ever said ench a thing. In the firnt place, I was not on the Bear at all. I came home on the Thetis. Besides. I was not the strongest of the party. I did not have to take care of Lieutenant Greely either, for he was able to be about every day. He commanded the party and was always per fectly competent to do so. As to Dr. Pavy’s stealing food, and the others also, that remains for the commander of the ex pedition to embody in his official report. If there to anything in that report, the right to make which is guarded very jeal ously by the commandant, aa in allsimi. lar cases, be will probably clear everything up about the expedition. You will see very plainly that under such circum. stances it would be entirely out of place for me to say anything about it. In regard to the mauy stories that have been pub lish ed,I would say that a majority have been fearfully distorted. There was one published to the effect that Sargt. Long and mv»elf were at swords'points with each other, and the leaders of hostile fac tions. That is not true in any particular. From the time that we arrived at Cape Sabine until we were rescued I^ong and 1 were the best of friends. Our hostile fac tions, as they are called, cousisted in just this. Long was detailed to do the hunting for the party, and I was detailed to search for shrimps. That to all. Neither of us ever attempted to usurp command of the party.” To this statement Sergeant Long gave a hearty acauiescnce. An old army friend of Brnlncrd’s, named Davis, who served on the plains about the time of the Custer massacre, June 28,1876. called to see the Arctic sur vivors to-dsy.
