COLORADO TEE-REMOvAL
OF MIR. CASE.

We last week published tho fact that the
Congressional Committee appointed to in
vcstigato the charges of corruption y
made oniV in this District, against MIR. Ash
ley, had reported, completely exhoncrating
that gentlemen from the charges made. In
connection With this, the Toledo CONNER .
cidi, of tho 3th inst, givos the following
fucts, regarding the removal of Mr. Case.
"Lcarning that the removal Of Mr. Case, the late
Surveyor General, would be agr0eableW ~ MIR. Ash
lev on account of the duplicity of which Mr. Case
was guilty during the last Congressional canvass,
all, or nearly all the Republican members joined
voluntarily in II request to the President tor his
removal the President himself, who is well ac-
quaintcd with the facts, anticipated Mr.
Ashlcy's wishes in this particular, leaving
to him the privilege of nominating whoever he
! might wish as suscessor. This Mr.. Ashley did
and the person designated, Mr.. Pierce, nn honora-
! bic and accomplished gentlemen aud competent
| officer, was at once appointed.
From the confidence which the President
and members of Congress have thus prac
ticaly manifested in Mr.. Ashley, it will a
once be seen that with them his cxhoner
! alton from the charges of corruption wat
complete. Any consistent person still hold
ing Mr. Ashley guilty, must believe thu
President equally guilty. There are, how
ever, "pcrsons and papers within thu
Congressional District, who cldim to ear
nesty support the President; who Mu'
him as " Honest Abe" yet who, Tbtwitl
standing his support of Mr.. Ashley, de
nounce the latter gentleman as fraudulent
and corrupt - From their argument ina.
be extracted three simple propositions;
|. The President is perfectly honest an
patriotic.
>. The President heartily endorses an,
sastains Mr.. Ashley.
