Tho newspapers have besa filed With assertions and
oohtrAccons in regard to the appointment OF the Hon.
John Dix Anister to France. and readers will
undoubtedly feel Interested to know what tho trath Of
A, Ihsve access 10 sources Of info

sha be abe to CRAFTY their curiosity add they rely
absolutely upon tho folio wing state mcnt Of facts
When Gen. General DIX accepted his present post Of
Astsnt Treasurer for tho purpose healing the
party divisions tho State OF New York and with the
dlspDct and definite understanding and arrangamsato
which the President himself and every wemoor Of the
caoinst, fully commit ttsd-that Gem should ho!d
the pl.oe sstAnt Treasurer only temporarily All
that gosd time he should exchange 1t for the missoa
