1t Is true that Mr. wynne has violated his con-
tract, and that have been denied my rights under
IT, Tie ground upon which he has done this Is
that General Ord, then in command at Richmond
objected to my becoming editor OF the paper, and
tha. the business relations established by the con-
tract were frustrated and annulled by reason OF
said action OF General Ord. But deny this. What
does General ord say; Here is his affidavit. a
statement given in his otcn hngudgs. drawn by
his oloa hand, ana made under the solemn obl ga
ton Of an oath.
