facts stated, and In justice to General BOunt give
It publication;

SiH; In your issue OF Saturday morning ap-
pears statement that General BlOunt, OF Kan
sas, eHt'heTokee Indian agent, had been arrest
ed on requlAltlOn from the Governor OF North
Carolina, for alleged defalcatiOn In connection
with transactions with the Cherokee Indians In
that State. The statement was doubtless based
upon partial Information, and without a knOwl-
edge Of all the facts In the case, and Is calcu-
lated TO DO Gen. Blount great injustice and lead
TO painful apprehension among his many friends
In this city and elsewhere that he may have been
connected with some criminal or dlshOnOrable
action. General Blount has for many years been
fayOrably known a. one OF the prominent men
OF the country, whose character for integrity and
honest dealing has been above TeprOach. Upon
inquiry into me matter alluded to in your pre-
yiOus issue referred TO, you might be assured
that he Is not guilty OF any disreputable acts.
Gen. B0unt has never been Government agent
for the CherOkees or any other tribe Of Indians
and never at any time been discussing OfficeT
for any purpose whatever, and consequently
cannot be defaulter. Moreover he has not, we
understand, been In the State Of North Carolina
