EXTRACTS FROM MAI. M'LEAN's REPORT.
l therefore report as follows:
That he Capt. HURT, A. Q. NJ, in order
to promote the pecuniary interests of
himself and friends, and beingsolicitous as
to the success of the Ohio State Journal
on account of the results therefrOm benefi-
cial to himself, did enter into correspond
ence with certain influential, moneyed
and political parties, soliciting their aid,
and, through them, to secure aid from other
parties to effect the removal of a brother
officer at Cincinnati, o., that he (Hurtt)
might secure his position, and be charged
with the heaviest possible disbursements of
government funds, stating in such CORE
spondence that the securing of such posi-
ton would enable him to further the pecu-
mary interests of the Ohio State Journal,
and that it would be all right for his
friends; that it would give his political
party one Of the strongest depots in the
country, and be of the greatest service to
the party in the coming campaign, and if
to remove his brother officer il should be-
come necessary to remove the Quartermas-
ter General of the army such removal must
be made.
In this, that Capt. HURT, A. Q. NJ, cor
responded with certain parties connected
with him in business in the Ohio State
Journal, explaining how he had and could
use his position as public officer to pro-
mote the private Interests Of said paper;
that he did so prostitute his position, and
did further enter into an explanation with
Mr.. Allen, the associate editor of the said
paper, as TO how he made the most ordina-
" purchases, the matter of so doing pre-
cluded the possibility Of detecting collision
between him and others, and further, he
called attention of said Allen to the bene-
fits they had already derived from his being
stationed at Cincinnati, o., and that they
could not afford to allow any change of his
station; that to remain in Cincinnati will
be worth from four to six thousand dollars
a year, and refers said Allen to their books
for evidence; advised said Allen to come to
Cincinnati, or send friend to speculate
for him by selling forage to the govern
ment; informs him at the time as to the
immense purchases he (HurtD would make
