from that county. Dalzell is mention.

Democratic willingness that there shall

for the Democracy in the Sixteenth

SENATOR THURMAN has written q
letter to member of the Ohio Legisla-

question. He quotes from his speeches

fraught with injury to the country" F"
and concludes: "Of course with these
views L shall continue to oppose the act
and hope to see it repealed, and prop

my views in reference to a contraction

j WASHINGTON SPECIAL to the Gin.
cinnati Gazette of Monday, says that
intimations OF grave charges against
General Cowan were freely circulated
and pretty widely telegraphed last
night. The authority given for them
was that of ex-Com missioner Smith,
and on that account, they should be re-
ceived with grave suspicion for if this
officer is not more accurate in the state
mentS which are now circulating upon
his authority, than he was while in Of
fee in the almest daily statements
which he furnished to the press, the
present charges against General Cowar
may be dismissed without a thought
Mr.. Smith will, however, have, as he
should have, abundant opportunity
and every facility offered him by thu
Indian Committee to make his charge,
good.
