Card from Colonel Holloway.

To the Editor Of the Journal:
The Sentinel of yesterday contaiued copies
of the vouchers fled during the time I held
the Office of State Printer, in 1865. ! did
not see any Of said vouchers from the time
they wer sworn to, until my attention was
recently called to the fact that several Of
them had been changed both in the dates and
am cunts, excepting the vouchers paid May
20, 1865, for 1924 90, and September %,
1865, for $500 90. upon which drew the
money, and about the correctness Of which
there is 60 question.
The changes specified by the Sentinel are
not in my handwriting. and I had no knowl-
edge, either directly or indirectly, that they
had been changed until recently.
The Sentinel, in the course Of its remarks,
says:
eve ander stand that Colonel Holloway In.
Inmates that the State officers had . hand in
these swindles. IF that il his suspicion, We
will ask Colonel Trusler, Hon. I. B. McCarty
There is no mistake about the tampsring with
the vouchers, and somebody has pro6ted by
the swindle, and if it is not Colonel Holloway,
who is the guilty party Z"
never 'irtimated' that the Sts te officers
or any particular person, lad changed the
vouchers alluded to. All I know about It is
that they have been changed, and that never
proRied to tine extent of one farthing BY that
change, nor did draw the money upon any
voucher where the amount had been increas
ed after it passed from the hands Of the book .

According TO the Connersville
Examiner, the following incident
happened not thousand miles
from that place:
A short time since, q certian
bachelor upon retiring ct night
without first making an examina-
ton Of his surroundings, put out
his light and crawled into bed,
but to his surprise soon found that
he had bed fellow. He quietly
arose, lighted his lamp and pro-
ceeded to explore the situation.
The first thing that caught his
eye was a snowy night-oap. costly
resting upon the pillow at the back
of the he'd. He looked no farther.
but extinguishing the light he
seized his clothes and beat . hasty
retreat. Dressing himself hastily
latter getting safe distance from
his room he called up the good
man of the house to make enquiries
in regard to tue strange occupant
Of his room. He could give no in
formation about it. and cal. ed his
wife into the council. It Was how
ever, all q mystery to her.and the
landlord in company with his dis
comfited boarder made . tour of
observation. Cautiously they en-
tered the apartment and approach.
ed the bed. The sleeping beauty
was undisturbed. In fact resting
as quietly as though one half of
the bed was her legitimate proper
ty. The old gentleman in no very
smisblc mood reached over, caught
her by the shoulder and rudely
dragged her f nth. just then q
| wild scream of laughter from the
adjoining room startled the ears Of
the two gentlemen, and in fact. the
old gentleman most heartily join
ed in it. The seeming woman Was
| only q bolster and some pillows,
cunningly arranged and placed
there by some young ladies who
were staying at the house. The
young gentleman has concluded
that the only way to avoid such
accidents in future is to give some
one the right to occupy the vacant
place.
