COL. JAMES SWAN.

The death OF this gentleman has been recent
" mentioned in the public papers. His family
connexions in this city, not having any intelli-
gence to that effect, considered tine fact to be quite
uncertain. Letters from Paris of the sOth March
confirm the report Of his death, mot in prison as
has been p,.JHshed) at his domicil, on the 18th
instant.
This individual belonged to generation, and
to an age, of which there are few remnants. 1t
may seem useless to recall him even to the memo
~ of the very few who were his early associates,
If there be any such, they can bear witness, that
Mr. Swan wasa merchant, politician, wing,
a soldier, and an author, before he was twenty.

trade;-he had helped to destroy the tea IN Bos-
ton Harbor;-he accompanied General Warren
up on Bunker Hill. as his aid, on the 18th June,
rs, The year 1872 found Mr.. Swan bereft Of
fortune, and deeply debtor He went to France;
and there made hlmself known by volume on
the Commerce of the United States with France
He acquired reputation and confidence, and be-
fore the year 1894, he had gained an immense
fortune, and had paid off all debts. principal and
interest, not excepting those from which he had
been fully discharged. In 1895 he came to the
U. S. and renewed his former associations. S.
There are many who remember him at this pet
rod; and who know that he was charitable & mu-
nifcent He returned to Europe in July. 1898,
and was engaged in different places in arranging
many complicated affairs, which had been proba-
bly, more extensive than any man but himself
would have undertaken to manage. Among 9th
CT persons with whom he had dealt, was Ger
man gentleman, who claimed to be a large Gre
ditor Of Mr.. Swan, and, on the other hand Mr..
Swan claimed to be creditor Of him. On this claim
Mr.. Swan was imprisoned, in the st. Pelagie in
Paris in 1908; and there he remained till July
1880, during which time most jealous and in
defatigabie litigation was kept Up between them,
in the Courts of France. In March, 1880, Mr..
Swans prosecutor died, debtor to Mr.. Swan, on
Judgment, according to his representation. 1t
was expected that he would have returned to the
United States on being liberated, but he had still
great purposes in view, and remained in Paris
till his decease.
Few men have lived as private citizens. who
have seen such remarkable vcisstudes as Mr..
Swan. He had gigantic views IN business, and
may be supposed to have been more enterprsing
than judicious In his private life he was nbbie
minded, generous, and affectionate. He was dis
tinguished by the maniness of his figure, the dig
nifty of his manners, and the kindness Of his eX.
preston. His children cherished the most re-
spectacle and afectionate remembrance of ham;
which rather served to embitter the truth, that
no possible operation BY them, could withdraw
him from prison;-And also, that when he was

THE LAST DEMONSTRATION OF MR.. ING.
HAM.

This gentleman has published another letter
written TO the President. He does give the note
to which IT purPorts to be response. Nor does
tic wait to receive answer, so anxious is he to
make something of his conspiracy. He publishes
his letter at once, that the public may see his
willingness TO return 'lrthout delay to The Seat of
Government, In hare n legal Investigation Of this
transaction befOre Il tribunal h1rinp po1pcr TO cram,

could wait the arrival of the mail which would
bring him intelligence of the Presidents return to
the city, because he knew that it would also bring
him the reply which i'll fact on the way to him
when he usherod his letter to the public. Whether
his letter had been received not by the President
whether the response required by 1T would make
immediate publication proper not, ne did not
wait TO consider Mr.. lngham's first letter was
understand published before it reached the
hands Of the Presidert-so it appears from the be-
ginning that this priUate correspondence was meant
as attack upon the President by Mr. InplIam
and was designed address altogether to the
public. The President has, therefore, think,
very properly given him the information ne seemed
to ask through his Private Secretary, Mr. Trist de-
clining any further correspondence with him
The course which Mr.. Ingham has pursued tow.
