investigation into the claim of Julius Witkowski, Of
New York, and the case goes to the Department
Of Justice for such civil and criminal proceed
ngs rs the law officers OF tho government may
deem necessary to the money and punish the
offenders. Witkowski claimed that he had furnished
large lot of timber TO build the forts around Nashville
at the time when General Buell. fell back into Ken
lucky and with the aid, as is alleged,
OF fictitious documents and false afidavits
and assistance in the Department
itself drew $40 900 from the Treasury few weeks
ago. Besides Witkowsk the principal parties impli-

GARpNa THE OHIO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
TIoNs OF DEMOCRATIC sUccEss-TnE SPEAK

Gratis increases. Every government clerk and official
who has right in that State expected be
at home Tuesday next leaves of absence not only
having been granted but the departure Of the nd vdu
ais haing from Ohio is expected a matter of duty
The Chairman OF the State Democratic Committee in a
letter to q personal friend in Washington, received
yesterday, says that he is confident the dem
ocratic ticket will be elected, but does not venture
expression to the majority. He also says
''Whe are confident of success the labors Of the
campaign from the beginning to the end have been car
ried on as though the contest depended a single
vote
The organization Of the next House is
also the theme OF much speculation In con
nection with the Ohio election The friends
Of Mr. Kerr exerting their influence in his
behalf claiming that Aliens defeat will compel the
democrats to unite the hard money platform and
virtually accept the issue already made by the passage
of the specie resumption act. On the other hand
democratic success in Ohio, it IS claimed, will
weigh but very little with Congressman elect, and
not until after the November elections will the leading
democratic members attempt TO shape the caucus
policy which isl to united vote for the nomi-
nation Of Speaker Of the Forty fourth Congress.
