he caeo Of Rev. r. j. Graves, SAYS:
! We notice that Gov Graham has made .
speech in the Lsgislaturs in regard to tho latf
arrest Of Rev. Z. J. Gravea e Presbyterian
preacher, living in Orange county. IL viii
na remembered that Graves was returned to
our State authorities, and letter from tho
Secretsry of War to Governor Vance stetea
tho csuso of his arreat The lstter stated
among other things that Graves was aG-
cussd, on The authoilty Of Z returned Uonfade-
rstp prisoner, of giving information 10 the Ole
my 20 the injury OF the Confederate cause,
ard that he got permit 10 go North by TO.
| presenting himself as q citizen IF Nc1c York,
| deHiroua Of returning !ioma. we did not liz
tend again to alIude TO the case hut Cover
nor Graham, speaking in defence Of Graves,
anti in commenting Gil thn litter OF The Soc
! rotary OF War, omtlI untira;y to uutica tho
| faBa Gtaiemout made by Graves TO General
| Windar III order to Get permit to 20 North.
| If the abatement Of Graves that he ID citizen
OF New York is true, why then the Oonfudc
rate authorities very properly supposed that
thoY lad L right to arrest him Us en- Ellen
onsniy; tut il tina. statement was fals5--sud
it Sa-lrs that hs Eow claims To be citizAn
II North Oaraln:a--then it appears lhat no
has certainly boon guilty Of deception and
and wiliul falst hood.
Wo arc sorry that Gov. Graham, while
spssking in tSraysa' favor, did not explain
thus matter. Mr.. Graves friends claim that
be Is p citizen oil this State, snd Graves him
self has taken protection under that PIES
thereby acknowedg NJ that he made false
strtamGat ia oriar To Yi;it the North We
tlnJs nothing CT the matter more than We
see in tue public papers, but inssmuth u,
! Gov. Graham ani olhers continue t. blame
tho Confederate authorities fur making the
arrss., we feel justiied in abiding to tbs
| false representations OF Graves to show that
he is not 10 entirely sulitcss ~ some sssm
