The Townsend investigation has come
to sudden but rot unexpected ter
minatiOn. The matter has been COM
promised and the efforts of the leaders
TO prevent scandal in the body polite
has been crowned with success. At |
o'clock the committee met and tho
counsel for the defense, Jacob Moore,
ESD, objected to the immediate prose-
cution of the investigation on the ground
of the absence of specified charges. A
protest was read in which it was de-
clared that the constitution of the State
plainly set forth that person with
such serious charges pending over him
should have articles OF specification in
which the causes for trial must be clear
ly set forth. In order to give the At
tprDey General time to make out these
specifications the committee adjourned
to meet at seven O. clock.
During the afternoon, the friends OF
compromise began to weave together
their half formed desires for settling
the matter, so that by evening the
whole matter was nicely arranged. The
accused is to plead guilty, and the ad-
dress is to be passed asking tor his
removal. His securities will unite in
an open letter to the Governor petit
tioning him to retain Col. Townsend
in Office so long as he faithfully per-
forms the duties of his position. This
is the substance of an arrangement
which is to set aside most diagreea-
bic obligation under which the Legis-
lature is at present resting. That it will
meet with the approval of all is un-
questioned. Tn. accused will be re-
tanned as long as he attends 10 the du-
