rate Of three miles an hour. the first
mile. however, was made in three
minutes.
The frs. indication OF trouble at
Curtis pond was the rise OF water. At
9 O'Clock the situation was critical, as
the water had cut hole through the
dam. A few minutes past 8 one end Of
Curtis and Marbles large brick shop

Soon after the Arcadia building Topped

and at a quarter of 10 o'clock the doubie

seventy feet long and twenty feet deep

IN. WITNESS CONTRADicTED.

Last Thursday We published the test
mnny Of ore Barrow relative to his pro-
curing tie position. OF post trader al Fort
Union. New Mexico. IL which he stated
that be prncur-i II through the irfrence
OF ". ID. ". Easnard. a br"ther-iD.laH
Of General Dent AID tia: l.. s.sa Bar
ns-d one-ihitss # the profits for his III
fluence in pIocuiir2 him the place. The
appointment, he alleged. came directly
through General Grant, TO whom all tie
facts in the case We're communicated.
We took occasion TO express doubt o.
the .trutbfuiness of the statement "i
Bsrrow a. de time, and how Mr. Bar
nari comes oft 10 hst denial OF the
sl,ecations =: Barrow in the following
explicit manner:
st. Louis. Nuch 3O-W. D. ". Bar
nard in published card states that the
testimony given day or two s2o before
one of the investigating committees at
Washington by j. L. Barrow IS false in
various particulars, especially in that It
in.imated that he (Barnardl used his
influence with General Grant to secure
a permit Ter Barrow TOR valuable con-
sideraiion. Barnard gives his version OF
his connection With Barrow III post
traders store ut Fort Union. and asks
the committee 10 give him all opportU-
nifty to place his testimony on record.
II will be noticed that all shewitnesses
who have thus far testified in regard to
the post tradesships have been exceed
insly willing ones. Even Marsh. in his
testimony against Be,knap. seemed an1-
ioas to impart all he knew The New
York Sra is authority for the statement
that Marsh was pushed forward to do
this by his wife. According to that pa
per Mrs. Marsh was not invited to the
wedding OF Mr.. Belknap and Mrs. Bower,
AID shst Mrs. Bower remarked nj the
time that MIs. Marsh was "only the
wife of q post trader who was not adj
mittsd into iirs:-c!ass Mes York society"
This remark reached the ears of Mrs.
Marsh, who Ie,orted that she was s. en-
titled TO as high place in society A. the
wife OF . Secretary Of War who sold a
post leadership for money!" This aex
CT the wings of the wind until it reached
the House Committee ca Expenditures
in the War Department, and the result
is already known.
That there is iniauity in the post trad
ership business is self-evident. and if all
ths facts regarding it could be ELECTED
the country would be the wiser for it.
scd better Of, too. if the proper remedy
ss,s applied by Congress. Bat there is
reason to believe that much Of this testi-
nony ia false. The contradiction Of Mr.
Barnard places General Grant light in
the matter, and We hare the fullest con-
tdence that the closest scrutiny will
show him to have been in the right in all
his official relations. There appears to
bs TOO much Of partizanship. in the pres
ent Congressional investigations, and
the testimony of many Of the witnesses
must be received with many grains Of
allowance.
