| TIE SAN JUAN AFFAlR-LETTER DELIvERY-THE Po-
| LITcAL COMPLEXION OF The NEXT sENATE-THE
| MoRMoNS. ... .
The statements in the last London Times concern
| ing the San Juan affair are erroneous and exag-
| gerated IN most important particulars. Gen. Har-
ney obtained leave of absence several months ago
for one year, to travel in Europe, and with no ex
pectation OF resunlng the command on the Pacific
| Col. Wright succeeds him in that department.
| When it was ascertained at the War Department
| that Gen. Harvey had reinstated Capt. Pickett to
| the position which he occupied when the San Juan
| affair occurred, and from which Gen. Scott had
displaced him. with the official approval of the au
thorites here, he (Harney) was ordered to report
| in person at Washington, notwithstanding his pre-
yyOus leave of absence, and he is probably now on
| his way to answer for that breach of discipline.
| Consequently all the charges of The Times that
| Gen. Harney had been retained with a view to
trouble, and Capt. Pickett replaced as a means of
provoking collision; are wholly unfounded, Col,
Wright is authorized to every just cause of
complaint SO far as title to the island of San Juan
is concerned, it is believed exclusively in the
United States, and the report of our Commissioner
| Campbell renders it clear and conclusive As Eng
land asserts her claim with equal pertinacity, and
as the whole territory is not worth dispute be-
tween two such nations, the question ought to be
settled by arbitration
An act was passed lust before the adjournment

| pensation for their service Heretofore the gen
eral charge was two cents, from which fund was
