GENERAL Howard
Fernando Wood made
some damaging charges in
! Congress the other day,
against General Howard,
OF the Freedmcn's Bureau
The Radicals tried hard
to choke him of but were
not successful, and n reso-
luton was passed author
izing the Committee on
Education and Labor, TO
investigate them. We

costive that it was sent 90

never dig it up. Loyalty
is a big thing.
Hon. John Scott will
