Augusta, Ma., 18th November, 18S9,—My
Dear Ma. Fisher: It la quite evident to my
mind that at the approaching session of Con
gress there will be an expansion of the cur
rency to the amount of $50 000,030 to $75,000,
000. The form it will take I think will be au
addition to the national bank circulation
West and South.
My object In writing la to ask in reason if
your friends would dedro to establish a bank

matter 'of fivoritlsm as to who gets the banks

power to “cast an anchor to the windward" in
your behalf If you desire it.
Please think over the matter and confer
with Mr. Caldwell, and let me know your de

Auousta, Me., June 14, 1871.—To My Dear
Mr. Fisher: I tried very hard yesterday and
the day before to aee you. 1 am in a very pain
ful and embarrassed situation, growing out of
my connection with the Fort Smith en
terprise. I have paid and caused
to bo paid into your treasury about
1250,000, and the only result to me is the most
painful perplexity. Now, 1 have a propos
to make to you, which I think fa moat HI
aud fair, going as far as I possibly ca^ __
without ruining myself past all recovery.
Now, If you wllltake up the $10,000 of coupons,
paying me the cash therefor, and give me the
$45,000 of bonds, I will leave the remainder of
our matter* stand until you are ready to open
correspondence on the subject yourself. I
trust, in consideration of our many years of
friendship, as well as in view of the peculiar
relations I have bold in this matter, you w "
make an effort to do this. Yours truly,
J. G. Blaine.

Mr. Fisher: I am in hopes now that 1 shall

very' tight. I have seen most of the parties to
whom bonds are due. I do not hare much

£*h Instant the second note of the loan I ne

Jor $2,082.50, which fell duo March 1st I was
compelled to meet at the graTest possible in

The note which falls due on the 29th instant is
for $2,7w.3.y it seems extremely hard and un
just that I should be compelled to pay this
money. It U no more my debt thsu tne debt

cannot believe that you nnd Mr. Fisher intend
to leave this burden on me. If you do It will

In a letter from Mr. Fisher, trader date
of January 24th. he writes me aa follows: “In

Fpu received from him $50,000 land bonds for

Boston, Nov. 10,1871.—My Dear Blainf.: I
am in receipt of your favor of the 8th instant,
from which 1 am led to infer that the contracts
I made through you to your Eastern friends
have not been fulfilled on my part: but suen
is not the fact, as I have delivered each and
r one ot them *11 tho securities in accord-
with the contracts. You are well aware
of the condition of the road, and that you have
received your full proportion of the bonds. I
think y«ui can readily see that I can make no
proposition further than as the road pro

The following was in reply to Mr.
Blaine’s letter of April 13, 1872, already
published:
Boston. April 16. 1872.—My Dear Blaine:
Your favor of tho 13th Instant reached me this
morning. I am surprised at its contents. 1
have loaned you, at various times when you
were comparatively poor, very largo sums of
money, nnd never have you paid me one dol
lar from your own : pocket, either principal or
Interest. I have paid sundry amounts to
others to whom you were Indebted, and these
debts you have allowed to stand unpaid, like
the notes which I hold. I have placed you in
E dition* whereby you havo received very
rge sums of money without one dollar of ex
pense to you, and you ought not to for
get the act on my part. Of aH the
parties connected with the Little Rock
and Fort Smith no one has been
so fortunate as yourself in making money out
of It. You obtained subscriptions from your
friends in Maine for tho building of the Little
Rock and Fort Smith railroad. Out of their
subscriptions you obtained a large amount,
both of bonds aud money, free of cost to you.
I havo your own figures, and know the
amount. Owing to your political position you
were able to work off all your bonds at a very
high price, and the fact is well known to oth
ers as well as myself. Would your friends in
Maine be satisfied If they knew the
facts? Are my associates satisfied to
have you obtain $3 000 for the
Northern Pacific railroad, aud you not make
the investment as per agreement? The course
you have thought proper to take in regard to
y request is rather a pfior one, taking your
.Nations with me, and I again ask you to re
consider it and grant It. You will find It
much easier to pay by obtaining the credit,
and I selected that course, thinking U to be the
beat. If you again decline, I snail be ouugeu
to use the notes or sell them to outside pur
chasers. Necessity knows no laW. Whatever
bonds still due to you will be delivered as the
r»>od progresses. To the other portions of
your letter I raako no reply. You know the
facts: it Is sufficient that I know them, and It
is useless to mention them at this time. Please
answer st once. I remain, respectfully yours,
Warren Fisher. Jun.
The reply to this letter fa Mr. Blaine’t
letter of April 18.1872, already published.
The expression “obtaining credit” in the
above letter refer* to a request by Mr.
Fisher that Mr. Blaine would give him a
letter of credit to be drawn against Mr.

Fisher for borrowed money, for which Mr.

Washington, D. C., April 16,1876 -Mv Dear
Mr.' Fisher: You can do me a very
great favor, aud I know it will give you
pleasure to do so, Just ns I would do for you
under similar circumstances. Certain persons
and papers are trying to threw mud at me to
injure my candidacy before the Cincinnati
convention, and, you may observe, they are
trying It In connection with the Little Kock
and Fort Hmlth matter. I want you to send
me a letter such as the Inclosed draft. You

ent Democratic city administration has

which an Irishman usually recelvea
Itho hands of the Democracy. Likel
other independent Irishmen, de-|

Itomaton of the Democratic party and who ap
preciate respectable treatment, I will not vote
tor the low accidents that are put forward as
I Democratic representatives, from President
down, preachers of English free trade doc

publicans, Blaine and Logan, who are in favor

sincere expressions of grateful thanks to my
Democratic friends who have manifested
friendship and respect for me, I take this oc

Democratfo Tariff Views.
J Cleveland, September 13.—Frank Hurd,
ref Toledo, and Martin Foran, of Cleveland,
are the two leading Democratic candidates
for Congress in Northern Ohio. ‘‘lama
protectionist,’' said Foran to-day.
“Do you heartily approve of the tariff
plank in the Democratic platform?” he]
was asked.
“Yes, as I understand that plank,” said I
he. “It is my understanding of it that it
does not mean free trade.” i
“Mr. Hurd said In this city a few days 1
ago that if that plank was carried out as
the policy of the Democratic party it would [
sweep protection from the land.”
“I don’t understand it,” waa Mr. Fo-
ran’a reply. “I can state my views
clearly. I believe in incidental protection,
not in a prohibitory tariff. For instance,
I want a sufficient tax on artioles manu
factured in England to give the American
manufacturer a fair advantage, and aaffl-
cient to keep out reasonable competition
from other countries. Snppose, as an il
lustration, it costs manufacturers in Eng
land 80 cents a yard to deliver cloth in
New York and for American raanafac-
turers to make the same it costs §1 a yard,
A reasonable tariff on that material I esti
mate would be thirty cents a yard, which
would give the manufacturer on this side a
chance to compete fairly against the for
eign competitor. But to so rate the tariff
that the foreign manufacturer cannot
|bring his goods here at all tends to en
courage the home industry to manufac-1
| tare inferior articles.”
So it happens that Mr. Foran looks at
the Democratic tariff plank as being for
incidental protection, and Air. Hard says
thMt imyoi.c wiili ordinary -ens,. , minot
make out of it anything bat free trade.
Trouble Over the Providence Journal.
J Providence, September 14.—It is stated!
that some time before Mr. Danielson, the
late editor of the Providence Journal, died
he endeavored to persuade the late Sena*
tor Anthony to consent to a revaluation
of the newspaper, each to select a referee
and the two to choose a third one. The
two pertners had signed a compact, each
agreeing that his estate should sell bis
share to the other in case death dissolved
the partnership. The figure named at the
time of the bond was a high one, but as
the property increased in value, the pro
visions of the agreement were not
eqnitaole. Mr. Danielson was then in
robust health, while Mr. Anthony was
ill, having been attacked by the disease
which terminated fatally. Mr. Danielson
saw that the chances were largely in favor
of hia outliving Mr. Anthony, and In jus
tice to the Senator he suggested the revalu
ation. Mr. Anthouy, who then believed
that his days were to be few, declined to
enter into the matter because it would, he
said, work an injustice to Mr. Danielson.
Th * bond waa not changed. Mr. Daniel
son died first, and the injustice which Mr.
| Anthony was afraid wonld result if the
revaluation was made has fallen upon Mr.
Danielson's heirs, but in auuiuer way. In
stead of having to buy Mr. Anthony’s
share of the paper at a high valuation,
they have, it fa asserted, been called upon
to dispose of Mr. Danielson’s share at a
price far below its cash value. The heira
of both estates have placed the matter in
toe hands of lawyert for settlement, i

Washington, D. C.—Dear »ir: I observe that
certain newspapers arc making, or rather In
sinuating, tho absurd charge that you own or
had owned $150,000 of Little Rock and Fort
Hmlth railroad bonds, and that you had In
some way obtained them as a rratulty. The
enterprise of building the Little Rock and Fort
Smith railroad was undertaken In I860 by a
company of gentlemen, of which myself was
one. The bonds were but upen the market in
this city on what waa deemed very advantage
ous terms to tho purchaser. They were sold
largely through myself. You 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 install-

two and a half mile* Dryden was picked
up by the boat which accompanied liimr
I and carried as far as Fort Carroll, when
he again went into the water, but again
called for his boat after making one and a

Baltimore. September 16.—At a confer
ence of the Prohibition party of Maryland
In this city to-day, it was resolved to put
an entire State ticket in the field, and also
to recommend the various Congressional
districts to nominate Prohibition candi
dates for Congress. Daring an address
Rev. D. B. Newman, of the national
executive committee, said that the
Democratic party was the declared enemy
of prohibition, and its convention at
Chicago was composed of eight hundred
lunatics running at large. The Republi
can party was no better, and the speaker
believed that if James U BUine occupied

Inaenloua Whisky Sellers.
Norwich, September 14.—The license
officers and illegal liquor sellers in this
part of Connecticut are continually trying
to outwit each other. Prosecuting Agent
Montgomery and a sheriff recently raided
the saloon of Henry J. Saunders in this
vtity, and after prying around for half an
l tour, discovered an ingeniously coastruct-
e d dumb waiter that looked exactly like a
common closet until a cord was pulled on
th® upper floor, and the closet shelves,
which appeared to sit tightly in
to the sides, began to rise smoothly toward
the upper floors, where it 14 suspected, is a
storehouse of whisky and other hard
drinks that are brought down stairs on
the dumb waiter, a little at a time, as they
are wanted. Voluntown offers rare fa
cilities to unlicensed whisky dealers. It
is next to the Rhode Island line, and
when prosecuting officers appear in the
outskirts of the town the news is carried
to the dealers, who iock up their shops
ami >kip hit • ilj-in.ng Mh>. TImt**
they remain until the oAWaIs retire.
Sheridan Burdick and George Whipple, of
Voluntown, have played this dodge half a
dozen times within a few months. A few
days ego the sheriff and his aseistant be
lieved that they had trapped the dealers.
Early one morning they appeared hur
riedly at the saloon, bat found it locked up
and a complimentary note on the door
saying the saloon keepers were greatly in
debted for the early vislfc and hoped that
the trip to Voluntown was a pleasant one.
“As for us,” the message went on, “weare
very sorry, but pressing business calls us
into Rhode Island, and wo shall have to
be gene several days. Don’t wait; call
again.” .
Texas Democrat. Ararmsd.
Washihgtok, Sept. 14.—The Sunday Ga
zette to-day says; “The Democrats are
becoming alarmed about the Irish rote in
Texas. Doorkeeper Wintersmith has just
come from that State to tell th, campaign
committee here that the situation is cer
tainly alarming, nnd that they must do
something or the whole Irish rote of Texas
will go to Blaine and Logan. He has
advised the committee to send down to
Text, a large supply of the speech of Sen
ator Voorhees about McSweeney being an,
American citisen and imprisoned in Ire
land. The response ot the managers to
Mr. Wintersmith is not known. It is
thought they told him that there was some
defection among tho Irish Democrats in
other parts of the Union. However, the
committee will send supply of the Voor
hees speech. That speech, iu fact, with
tho exception of one on the civil service by
Senator Cockrell, constitutes the entire
stock in trade of the Democrats this year.
No other documec t is sent otu.
Bees Mnktng Hone, tn a Church Walt.
Nxw Hxvxsr, September 14.—Bethany,
as its name indicates, is n pastoral and re
ligions commttnity. It is a short drive
from New Haven, and u famous for its
honey. Every farm house has a long row
of straw hives in the front yard, ana the
town is noted for its sweet clover tieids.
Ciosequently the bees thrive there, and
stray swarms make honey in the woods,
and even invade dwelling houses. Last
June a colony of two or three swarms oi
bees discovered a way in and oat of -the
walls oithe little brown Episcopal church,
hidden by a forest of rock maples, on the
village green. Aboard had cracked for
its whole longth just under the eaves, and
through this the bees entered. During
the summer they have swarmed once or
twice, so that on immense number now
inhabit the place, and the noise of their
movements disturbs tne worshippers. The
wall of the cbnrcb is known to be full of
honey, and next winter it will be dug out
to starve the bees and break up the col-
ony. ___________

appoint an additional colored commis
sioner for each State, to be known as an

Followers.
Panama, Septembr 6.—The most impor
tant news from Peru is the complete de
feat of General Caceres, the principal rev

on the -7th ultimo. On the mornir.g of
that date Caceres entered the capital of
Peru at the head of a savage mob of Mon-
toneros, who rushed through the streets
yelling and firing of! their
guns. On the preceding even
ing the government troops had
been concentrated in their barracks, and
the entry of Caceres almost amounted to a
surprise. His party obtained possession
of the barracks of the Espiritu Santo, and
of the churches of the Merced and St. Au

Two Texas Stockmen Fight with Knives
Across a Small Tabla-A Terrific Affray.
Waco, Tkxas, September 14.—A terrible
rpcounter occurred this morning at Ab
bott Station, thirty miles north of this
city, in which two lives were lost. Marion
League and John Friar, both well-known
stockmen, became embroiled in a difficulty
over a division of the stock owned jointly.
While sitting at a table discussing the mat
ter, Friar suddenly attacked League with
a bowie-knife. League quick as flash drew
his dirk and the two men fought with
the small table between them, scarce
ly moving from their track*. Sev
eral persons witnessed the fearful
duel, but dared not interfere. Tho com
batants glared at each other like wild
beasts, each watching his opportunity to
strike. Friar made several false motions,
which League successfully parried with
his dirk. Finally both men seemed to
nerve themselves for the fatal lunge, and
each threw himself with terrific force
against the other. League received a ter
rible gash in the neck, severing the arte
ries. Friar was stabbed near the heart.
Both men fell on the table, League drop
ping to the floor and expiring instantly
from the loss of blood. Filar surviving
nearly an hour with the dirk sticking in his
breast. When a physician withdrew the
knife a stream of blood spurted up and
he rapidly sank, scarcely a word escaping
him. It is said the 'men bad been warm
friends, and that both leave families in
distant portions of the State.
