GEN. PoPE's~ TURN.-Gen. John Glib
bon, of the Seventh infantry, has pre-
ferred charges against General Pope for
conduct u%nbecoming an officer and gem
tleman. The specifications against Pope
are based on his publication years ago
of what he entitled "a brief statement
of the case of Fitz John Porter" con-
tanning an extract from Stonewall
.Jackson's report of the military opera
tions of the Both of August 1862. This
date wa changed to the Goth, to the
serious damage of Porter, by reason of
its connecting with n date of events
which actually occurred on another.
General Mcdowell has recently admit
ed, under oath, that he furnished the
extract to Pope, and subsequently was
notified of the error of date. But he
did not think it necessary to make any
correction of the mistake, although he
understood that it worked injustice to
Porter. Another witness, Colonel I.
G.. H.. Smith, has testified on the Por-
ter inquiry that he called Pope's atten-
ton to the error, notwithstanding
which Pope continued thereafter
to circulate the pamphlet without max
ing the correction. This is the grava-
men Of Gibbons charges, which will
not be pressed until after the pending
Porter inquiry is concluded. The case

lected by the democratic party. We
believe that patriotic men of all par
ties approve the settlement of that
controversy, and we therefore arraign
and condemn that faction Of the dem
ocratic party which now seeks TO dis
turb the business of the country and
dishonor its lair fame by refusing a
manly submission to the decision.
IL. That we favor home rule and
self-government in the territories. and
we therefore ask for such action by
congress as will enable the people OF
the territories to choose all their
officers.
IL. That the first duty of govern
ment, general and local, is the protec-
ton Of life and property; and we there
fore favor an energetic warfare upon
road agents and thieves, with all the
means in our possession, until the laws
are respected throughout the territory.
IS. That the mining interests of our
territory demand our fostering care,
and we earnestly recommend such ac-
ton by our government as will best
protect the citizens of our territory en-
gagged in this laborious calling.
RESOLUTIONS:
Resolred, That the thanks OF the peo-
pie of the territory are due TO Hon. w.
w. Corlett, for the dignifed and efii-
cient manner in which he has dis
charged his duties as the representa-
tive of Wyoming in congress; that the
republican party has never had reason
TO apologize for his conduct in discharg-
ing the duties Of any public offices
which lie has held. and that the conf
dence of this people in him is such that
they will be ready Mt all times 10 confer
upon him their highest hvnors.
Rosotred, That In the nomination of
Stephen W. Downey as their choice for
the office Of delegate to the f~orty-sixth
congress, the republicans OF Wyoming
territory thus honoripg him have TO a
far greater degree bonored themselves.
That in Col. Downey we recognize
those qualities of eloquence and sagac-
ity which, united with his known expe-
rience in public affairs, render him in
the most eminent degree the man to
obtain from our fellow citizens in
Washington, who hold the balance of
power. those rights and privileges OF
suffrage and self-government the en-
joyment of which is now denied to us,
and upon the securing of which rights
in a great degree depends the future
prosperity and happiness Of the territory
in which we live, and intend to make oui
homes, and we pledge to Col. Downey
steady and unfaltering support.
