1t will be remembered that when the official
canvass of the vote cast for State officers was
made, the returns from Watonwan county were
missing, and the result was declared, minus
that county. 1t was alleged that the auditor
had sent two copies of the returns for county
officers and no copy of returns for State Off
GERS. This was the declaration and verdict
of the canvassing board and the
GLOBE made public record of the fact.
When the announcement of the GLOBE per-
found a hornets nest about his ears, and. for
the purpose of indicating himself, he came to
st. Paul on Thursday. Proceeding to the Of
fee of the secretary of state he found that
they had already discovered that they had q
copy of the returns for State officers. secre-
letter setting forth that the error occurred in
this wise:
Two envelopes were received from Watonwan
county, one marked Estate returns" and the
other county returns" The canvassing
board opened the one marked Estate returns -
and found therein the county returns. Then
it was suggested that the State returns might
officers. Instead of opening the second en-
velope from Watonwan they opened the one
marked ''connty returns,' from Cot.
tonwood county and found therein, AZ
there should be, the vote flor county officers
On Wednesday after the canvass, they found
the oversight at the secretary of States Office
and proceeding with the search, found the mis-.
sing returns, but would have remained without
them to this date, but far the GLOBE publica
ton. The only error of the auditor was the
placing of State returns in the envelope, mark.

sting board made an egregious blunder by theil
inability to distinguish Cottonwood from

How q Drunken Tramp Reporter Seeks
Revenge and Allows His Imagination to
Run Riot With tho Truth. a-,l 9-. .
An article appeared in the Pioneer Press
yesterday connecting the name of reporter
of the GLOBE with divorce suit pending
between DR.. E. G. Smith andnhis wife. The
popularity of the matter is that Mrs. Smith
is the party bringing the salt, and the first
charges made against her come from the
malicious article in question. The venom
and spirit which inspired the article can
readily be understood when it is stated
that it was written by fellow
named w. 81. Monk. He was formerly
reporter on the GLOBE, and was discharged
for general untrustworthiness and repeated
acts of drunkenness. The reporter whom
he has traduced was summoned from Chicago
to take his place, as a reporter, not as q
drunkard, for in this latter capacity Monk
persisted until he became shoeless
tramp on q our streets, and obtained
his meals only through the charity of free
lunch saloons, until recently, when he found
a ,congenial place on the Pioneer Press, and
has been allowed by the proprietors of that
concern to make its columns the avenue
through which to vent the malignancy of his
depraved nature and ingratitude upon thos 9
who have befriended him.. AS to the truth
of his story, attention is invited to the fol-
lowing letter: #a'. -. ....
To the Editor of tho Globe:
ST.. PAUL, Dec S, 1871 wish distinctly to
state to the public, through your journal, that
tho so.called interview published in the Pionee,
Press of this date relative to myself and the
divorce suit pending between myself and my
wife, is utterly false, and without the slightest
foundation in fact. A member of the Pioneer
Press reportorial corps called on me, and I pos
itively refused to have anything to say to him
on the subject. I don't know Mr.. Campbell in
this matter, and never spoke of him as having
been in any way connected with this case. The
whole history published by the Pioneer Press
as from nle-is an entire fabrication from be-
ginning to end. I shall bring no charges OF
any kind against Mrs. Smith, OF
anyone else. Nor shall I make
any answer to her complaint. would desire
the public, and the papers generally to let my
ences. Yours Truly, .
ISigned, T.. G. SMITH.
It can be added that this disreputable
gutter drunkard and tramp loafer left DR..
Smith with the exclamation referring to the
GLOBE reporter) damn the little whelp,
hate him. I want to give him shove"
Supplemental to the above, it is only
necessary to say the interview published as
having taken place with the GLOBE reporter
is in keeping with the purported
interview with DR.. Smith, which is so posi-.
lively denied. In other words, this man
Monk has imposed bogus piece of business,
from beginning to end, on his employers.

The Battle of Nashville.

The United Seruice Margarine, of ~Phila-
delphia, periodical devoted to naval and
military. affairs, for January has an article
from Gen. II. w. Johnson, of this city, rela
tive to "the battle of Nashville Some of
the heretofore unwritten history of that
signal conflict is published, and again
adds to the renown of The great soldier,
Geo. a. Thomas. Gen. Johnson's article is
given with the brevity common to the SOL
der, but throws much light upon On event
heretofore overshadowed, as it were, by the
subsequent surrender of the rebel forces.
Another article of equal interest treats of a
later event, that of the Thornburgh-
Payne fight with the White
River Ute Indians. Capt. j. Scott Payne,
Fifth United States cavalry, commanding
after Major Thornburgh's death, is the con-
tributor. He describes the incidents of the
march, the battle and the long days of sus-
pense while his command was besieged by
the savage foe graphically and with intense
interest. The description of this recent
frontier tragedy embraces the facts so
admirably given in Captain Payne's official
report of the affair, but has the additional
interest of elaboration of detail, which on
the whole makes valuable contribution to
the history of the army, and marks Captain
Payne as a modest and gallant soldier, who
is equally brilliant author.
