AN ExPLANATIoN.-Gen. II. b. Titus pub
fishes in the Warrenton Indes for last week the
other side of the luxurious case" which we
copied from that paper on Friday last. To rive
such an account Of the matter as would enable
the general reader to thoroughly understand il
can spare; but briefly, according to Gen Titus
statement, he was engaged in putting up, to
send BY express to Warrenton, q sum Of money
required to make the nnal payment on the farm
II he did so 1t would In all probability be attach
ed In suit commenced against him there some
time since by another person, aud that the only
sure way to have the money accomplish its final
purpose would be to take or send il there BY
hand. Gen. T. acted on this suggestion, but
concluded to send the decoy package referred
were justified. He did 50, and on its arrival
there 1t Scds attached, not by the party to the
suit as expected, but BY the agent who sold the
was to be paid the next day.-butto whom it has
not yet been paid, as Gen. Titus alleges, for the
Ieaeon that he has not been able to give per-
feet title to nor possession Of the property.
We published the original item last week AS
piece of neighborhOod news, without knowing
anything about the facts Of the case, and we feel
that It is only just to give the benefit of this
planstUn to General Titus, whom we have long
known as a gallant soldier and an esteemed citi-
zen Of New Hampshire.
