Tho sores have all healed, and I foci perfectly well in every T?-iMict being cow able to do a good day's work, although 73 years of age.

Tho 'Faintest Iilusli'' Canidarc- Fac in; OIlMiuny. NO. A correspondent aslm us to reprint the "two important sfulligan letters." There were fifteen letters in the pack age obtained from Mulligan's posses sion by Mr. Blaine, on the pledge of his word of honor that ho would fcive them immediately back, and they are all important. We suppose, how ever, that our correspondent refers particularly to the letters in which Mr. Blaine uig s Mr. Warren Fisher, Jr., to let him into the Little Rock and Fort Smith radroad enterprise, and re;iuit3-his nor vices a Speaker of the House in preventing the for feiture of the land grant to that rail road. There are four letters which are essential to the proper develop ment ol this episode in the career of the Maine statesman. The letters were all written while Mr. Blaine was Speaker of tho Forty first ltouoe of Representatives. In the earliest of these interesting epis tk-s the third ofiicer of tho Govern ment of the United States goes down on iiis knees to the Boston capitah&ts and tells them he knows how to make himself useful. The following are four of tho fif teen read letters of Mr. James Blaine showing how he acquired an interest in the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad. The "faintest blush" states man showing his nand: NO DEADHEAD. "Augusta, June i'J 1SC9. "My Dear Mr. Fisher : I thank you for the article from Mr. Mr. Lewis. It is good in itsclg and will do good. He writes like a man of large intelli gence and comprehension. ' Your offer to admit me to a partic ipation in the new railroad enterprise is in every respect as generous as 1 could expect or desire. I thank you very sincerely for it, and in this con nection I wish to make a suggestion of a some wl: at selfish character, "You spoke of Mr. Caldwell dis posing of a share of his interest to me. If he really designs to do so, I wish ho would -make the proposition definite so that I could know just, what to depend on. Perhaps if he waits till the full development of the enterprise, he might grow reluctant to part with his share; and I do not by this mean any distrust ol him. "I do not feel that I shall prove a deadhead in the enterprise if f em bark in it. 1 see various channels in which I know I can be useful. "Very hastily and sincerely your friend, J. G- Blaine. ' Mr Fisher, India street, Boston.'" In second letter on the subject the Speaker and statesman expresses his appreciation of Mr. Fisher's "liberal mode of dealing v; ith him, but inti mates that the other Boston capital ist,. Mr. Josiah Caldwell, may need a little prodding: LIBERAL DEALING, "Augusta, July 2, 1 "Mv Dear Mr. Fisher: You SCO. ask me if I am satisfied with the offer you made of a share in your new railroad enterprise. "Of course I am satisfied with the terms ot the otter. L tuinii it a most liberal proposition. "If I hesitated at all, it is from consideration in no way connected with the character of the offer. Your liberal mode of dealing with me in all our business transactions ot the past eight years has not passed with out my lull appreciation, vv hat l wrote you on the 29lh was intended to bring Caldwell to a ditiaito propo sition, that was all. I go to Boston by the same train that carries this letter, and v. ill call .-it. vour office tomorrow at 12 2d. Il you don't happen to be in, no matter, j Don't put yourself to a:ij- trouoie about it. Yours, J. G. B. W. Fisher, Jr." It appears from tho third letter that Caldwell did need to be remind ed how useful the Speaker had been the Little Rock and Fort Smith peo ple, at a time when their land grant was in imminent danger of forfeiture : "I SENT MY PAGE TO LOGAN." (Personal.) "Augusta, Me Oct. 4, 18C9. My Dear Sir: I spoke to you a short time ago about a point of inter est to your railroad company that occurred at the last session . of Con gress, f It was on the last night ot the ses sion, when the bill renewing tho land grant to the"S.t ite of Arkansas for the Little Rock road was reach ed, and Julian, of Indiana, Chairman of the Public Landh Committee! anct, by right, -entitled to" the floor, attempt ed to put on the bill, as an amend ment, the Fremont El Paso SQkerae probably well kriowh toMf Caldwell. The House was thin, and ' tbo lobby in the Fremont interest had the thing all set up, aLd Julian's amendment 7 was likely to prevail if brought. o . a vote Rooti and the otber members from Arkansas,, who wera' doing J-lTheir best for their own bill (to which ;icn. I wero'irrvlespair, fnr it wa r well known that thccnat htdc to the FrefcunfiJ? scheme, aiid if the Ar kanp-.s Jr.ll had gorif back' to" the S. u ate with Julian's amci.dsneut, the whole- thjngvwauld have gone on tho table aini slefft thehleepof death. In thia.dilcjcrmia Roots came to nip to know$?hnfc-0u earth he could do under thfe 'rules, for he saitl it was vital to hs constituents that.'th:i biJl should pal, I told.niui that Julian's amend a.en tfjyps. ifp iv)y out of ordtr; becac-. not gv.nrnne; but he h.l vot suff'K-ijr.t confidence in hi.i knowledge j of the rules to make the,oint," but he said Gen. Logan was opposed to the Fremont scheme, at; pr ,ba- bly make tlie point. I sent my page to Gen. Logan with tho suggestion, and hj at once made ih-. point I could not do otiierwise than sustain it, auJ so the bill was freed from the mischievous amendment moved Julian, and at once passed without objection. At that time I had never seen Mr. Caldwell, but you can teil him that, without knowing it, I did him a gu-ai favor. Sincerely Yours,. . J. G. Blaine. W. Fisher, Jr , Es.p 2i India Street Boston,"' On the same day Mr. Blaine took another letter to hi3 generous pp.tron Fisher, which completes the sluiy : AURANtiEMENT WITH CALDV.TIX. Augusta, Oct. 4. ISO'.). "My Dear Mr. Fisher: Find enclos ed contracts of parties named in my letter of yesterday. The remaining contracts will be completed as rapid Iy a possible, as circumstance . w ill permit. I enclose you part of the Congress ional Globe of April 'J, containing the point to which I referred at some length in my previous letter of Lo day. You will find it of interest to read it over and see what a narrow escape your bill made on that last night of the session. Of course it was my plain duty to make the ruling when the point wa3 onco raised. If the Arkansas men had not, however, hap pencd to come to me wlien at then wits end and in despair, the bill would undoubtly have been lost, or at least postponed for a year. I thought the point would interest both you and Caldwell, though Occurring before either of you engaged in the enter prise. I beg you to understand that I thor .1 oughly appreciate the courtesy, with you have treated me in this railroad matter, but your conduct to-ward mo in business matters has always been marked by unbounded liberality in past years, and, of course, I have naturally come to expect ilvi same of you now. You urge me to make as much as I fah'ly can out of the ar- j ran gem' nt unu which we navu cni'-i-ed. It is natural that I should do my utmost to this end. I am h ed bv only one thing, and that 1 1 "-,U3 indefinite arrangement wit h Mr. Cald well, i am anxious to acquire the interest ho has promised me, but I do not gef a. definite understanding with him as 1 have with you. I shall be in Boston in a few days, jtnd shall then have an opportunity to talk matters over with you. I am dispos ed to think that whatever I do with MrCaldwell must really be done through you. Kind regards to Mrs. Fisher. Sincerely, J. G. Blaise: "W. Fisher, Jr." It is interesting to remark that it was 15'aine and Logan iv. t Blaine alone--who rendered to the proprie tors of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad the important service so ex ultingly desctibed by the Speaker. Blaine was in the chair and saw the chance. He sent his pnge to Logan, who promptly made the point oi order suggested by the Speaker. Blaine 1 therefore made the ruling, and the i thing was done. We have not heard, however, that Blaine ever applied to Fisher and Caldwell for an interest in the road for Logan, on the ground of his scr. vices. Ex. Wislietl lie was one of 'Km. "Say, boss, what is de mcanin' of bebf a Mormon?'' Inquired a lazy looking coon of an intelligent State Department clerk, as the couple met a few days ago.

At J Ting's Creek, on Thursday, Col Oowies will meet Dr. York, if possi hie, but if lie cannot come Dr. York is requested to divide time with Mr. Dower or Mr. Jones.- We are re quested, to state that a leading Re publican of Burke, who was here last Thursday working for Judge Avery, has announced himself a iirm sup porter of Cowles for Congresa York's Vagaries. Dr. York is apparently stibjecfc to I fits of mental aberration, and while labormg under that infirmity in dulges m hallucinations that are as pleasant and agreeable to him doubt less as the tancK S of a love sick school Wi llis latest vag.v.y is to conceive that he, "Gld York," reduced the per diem of members of the general as sembly dom -J 7 to In tin; first place it must be pro mised that during th ) days when Dr. York's present friends, the Radi'-a's, were in power they fixed tho per diem of members of the general as sembly at ,7. When the Demoer; met in November, lo? ; Jeg:,-Ut lire that was the v.v regained aw As long as tla. unchanged the members were euti- tied to receive 7 per day. There were several bills introduced. earlv in the session of 170-71. hxmg (lie po-r diem and mileage, all of which were referred to the.co:nmittee on saleries and fees. i)r. York in ti odaced no bill or revolution on the, Riihjr.ct. At least we have examined the House journal with cave and find no mention of any such bill or ivso lution introduced by hmi. The rec ord is silent. On page 101 of the journal, session 1S70-71. the commit tee reported a bill fixing the pay of members at o. The 7 per diem was then in force; tho bill reported reduced the per diem two dollars a day. How did Dr. York vote on that? lie voted against it. Tfe did not help to pass that bill and make it a law. lie voted against it on both readings. And so Dr. York did not help to pass it. So far as the record discloses lie was opposed to the pass? i go of tho bill, and he orfered nothing else. Not to pass the bi! 1 was to leave the pay at seven dollars. But the bubble we wi:di to prick is that "old York reduced the per uiem from seven lo four dollars.' Ihe bill he voted against became the law in the winter of 1870 71, against his vote. It fixed the pay at five dollars, and that law never was changed un til the constitutional convention of 1875 changed it and made it a consti tutional provision that the per diem should be four debars. Dr. York was not a"memberi)f-' that body. Four dollars in 1875 was about equal to five dollars in 1870, when gold was at a premium of twenty five per cent, and war prices in a measure still pre vailed. Such being tho record, how pre posterous is Dr. York's unfounded assertion that lie reduced the per di oui to four dollars, when it was done by a body of which ha was not a member, and when absolutely he voted against the hill reducing the per diem from .seven dollars to live. - -News and Observer.

Scales was dignified, courteous towards his op. ponent. and free from self laudation. 2. That Dr. York was boastful, ego tistical and ciemogogieal. 3. Gen.
