THE WASHINGTON GLOBE.

4
From an article which appeared in the Globe
of the 9Th instant, we are inclined to think it
had no knowledge of the contents of the
letter of Mr. Garesche to the Land Office De-
partment, or if it had, it had forgotten the poll
tics Of the two Receivers of the Land Office
at this place, when it accounted for the defeat
of the Locofocos in Lowndes county by stating
that aCOEu4sBus Is The head quarters Of land
speculation" We think with the Globe that
Columbus :sGs the head quarters of land spec
ulation, and more particularly 50 at the time
Mr.. Garesche was here, and when he was
prompted 10 write as follows to the Depart
ment at Washington.
"The account Of the Receiver, which / have
made out and transmit herewith presents
against him balance Of S55,965 81 His own
account makes it $50, I'D 70, it is also an
nexed His assets of which also send You the
list, amount to SCI, $40 90, viii probably real
ize double the amount. The man seems really
penile7a; and am inclined to think, IN common
with ms friends, that he is honest and has been
led Gloay from his duty By The example Of his
predecessor, AND CERTAIN LOOsEEEss IN
THE CODE OF MORALITY IVhich here, does not
7nOue ia so limited circle as Il does l0ith as at
home. ANOTHER RECEIVER WOULD PROBABLY
FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE TWO. You
loiH not, therefore, be surprised If I recommend
has 0eiflg retained, IN preference to another ap-
pointment; for he has has hands full rOlO, AND
WILL NOT BE DISPOSED 10 SPECULATE ANY
MoREls
! Does.the Globe wish the people of the Uni
ted States to understand that the whies Of
Columbus are land spectators as wen as the
Locofoco holders Of Office under Government
If it doess-and when It speaks Of Columbus
as being the head quarters Of land speculat;ons
itmeans thus, we conceive it to be our duty to
hurl back the foul and false imputation. It's
'infounded as it is false, and casts a shade upon
the character of our hardy and enterprizinq
planters, either Wing or Van Buren,, which
they win not thank the Official organ for. If
the vote Of Lowndes county had been cast as
IN former times, the Globe would never have
thought Of this. and, indeed. bow secretly
believe thatit would not even SIS have cast
this reprOach upon our fam Civ. had not !
certain LocOSOco, D. s. Senator from this
county whispered it in his ear.
It affords US qualification Of the most ain.
