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. W. Fisher, Jun., Esq. Blaine: It fs the greatest importance that the parties owning the Interest in the $3,000, and Invested by them in the Northern Pacific Railroad, should receive what is due them, and, unless something is done about It I shall be forced to turn the documents over to them and let you settle directly with them. Mr. Caldwell teUs me he has paid you his last note due you. and gave you the $.j0,000 land I should Judge it bonds In addition. your interest to settle the matter at once. _ remain Warren Fisher, Jun.

Let me have an accurate an«l reliable statement of your financial condi tion and 1 can do something, 1 feel very **n- nine, with Thomas A. Scott. I think you will not deem me unreasonable when I again and persistently urge that I ought to have riven notes for the $3,000, and that I ought also to ■ave the $82,000 Ironds, which were made by Xpnwelf and Mr. Caldwell the express basis of tae $3,000 loan.

The first, Jor $2,082.50, which fell duo March 1st I was compelled to meet at the graTest possible in convenience. I drew on Mr. Fisher for the •mount, but he declined to notice the draft. 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 oi President Grant or Queen Victoria, and I cannot believe that you nnd Mr. Fisher intend to leave this burden on me. If you do It will crash me. i have no possible means where with to meet these notes, and I beg of yon and Mr Y Utter, either or both, to come to my re- In a letter from Mr. Fisher, trader date of January 24th. he writes me aa follows: “In regard to the $25,000 which you borrowed and touted Mr. Caldwell, or rather Mr. Pratt, b tt waa assume*! by Mr. Pratt, because Fpu received from him $50,000 land bonds for the amount. Upon my visiting the office for t ie first time after you left the city Mr. Pratt •aid he and Mr. Farrington gave t** you their individual bonds and they kept tin- money, and in order to obtain the money and get It put of Mr. Pratt s hands I obtained 4 sj.OuO land bonds and took what I supposed to be money; but It was not there.

No.I Peheeeiom RorAEE, tenfZS 0 iMil 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 gresses to deliver vou bonds In accordance. I remain with kind regards, Warren Fisher, Jr. 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. Fiaber daring a proposed European trip, Mr.Blaine being at the time indebted to Mr. Fisher for borrowed money, for which Mr. Fisher held Mr. Blaine's demand promis sory note*. [Confidential.] 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 will receive this tomorrow jj ‘ ““ ent Democratic city administration has forme. They want bummers, who have no character; but this is the treatment which an Irishman usually recelvea Itho hands of the Democracy. Likel other independent Irishmen, de-| termined to be no longer classed as the au-| 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 trine. but I will vote for representative Re publicans, Blaine and Logan, who are in favor of protection to American industries. With sincere expressions of grateful thanks to my Democratic friends who have manifested friendship and respect for me, I take this oc casion to sever all connection with the Frst Ward Democratic Club. Respectfully and Always, Patrick Walsh, m 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 A Fourteen Mile Swim. will at once write me the letter and mall It the same evening. The letter Is strictly true. Is honorable to yon and to me, and will stop the months of slanderers at once. Regard this letter as strictly confidential. Do not show it to any one. The draft U in the hands of my clerk, who is trustworthy as any man can be. If you can’t get the letter within time for the » o’clock mall atiuight, please be sure to mall U during the night so that it will start on the first mail Tuesday morning, but if possible.

The followine is the lndoscare referred to in the preceding: Boston, April —, YsX—IIon. Jar. O. Blaine. 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- . . both whom are expert and long-distance swim mers.

After going 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 half miles.

J Lynchburg, Va., September 15.—Matt Floyd was convicted of perjury In Am herst county to-day. He awore falsely to the age of a girl who eloped with his cousin, in order to obtain marriage license. The partisa havo been mar ried for several days but the father of the girl is prosecuting the young man. The charge is true, but the prose cution Is generally considered an unwar-1 ranted persecution, considering the dr- cnmstances. Both parties have many; friends, who are taking aides, and the at- fair has created considerable excitement. 1 If the case is pressed, the young man. on- dgr the statute, will be sent to the peniten tiary, Gresham to Return to the Bench.

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 the Presidential chair he would pocket every bill In favor of prohibition. The publican party had no more backbone than a fishing worm, and was fast hasten ing to its doom. Hon. William Daniel, Prohibition candidate for * Vice-President of the Unit'd S’.ab-i. was present and took an active partin the meeting. 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.
