THOMAS EMING.

\ writer in the Ohio Statesman, in 4 series Of
powerful written articles, has reviewed Of the
swindling operations Of Thomas Ewing. the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury lie appears perfectly al home
on the subject. We have before alluded to the sub
Jet as explaining Mr. Ewing's great anxiety to
eocrr up some transaction ia relation to the General
Land Office. The following are home thrusts, aud
hope Mr. Huntington VIII not lend himself to
further Ewlns's designs. In concluding h.s Bird
number tie writer charges:

On an or any single ono Of these charges, defy
