LEAvENwoRTH, April 16.-Refer-
ring to the arrival of Ex-senator
/ Caldwell, the Times, of this city, ed
itorialIy says: ave deem it our duty,
on behalf of the people of Leavenworth,
70 say TO the newspapers that have
copied the Commercials notice of Mr..
! Caldwell's return, that his arrival at the
depot was not the signal for any un-
usual gathering of citizens. On the con-

no greater than usually congregates
there when the morning trains arrive.
| Crowds of citizens did not call at his
residence TO express their belief in his
! innocence, on the contrary only few
| intimate friends visited him. A public
reception of Mr.. Caldwell would be re-
ceived abroad as public in
dors sement of political corruption,
/ and the Commonwealth does not desire
notoriety of that sort. Inasmuch as Mr..
! Caldwell purchased one hundred thou
sand copies of the Commercials edition
containing the advertisement of his ar
rival, We think this denial pertinent" "
