Gen. Joseph Il. Johnston Denies
Some OF the Statements Con-
tanned In Ii.
NEw YoRK, June 1.-THE Posts
Washington correspondent telegraphs
as follows: Gen. Joseph f Johnston
tells me to-day, in reference to the dis
psrsgipg statements which Jefferson
Davis has made Of him in his Davis
recent book, that he has not seen the
book yet, but only such extracts as some
OF the newspapers published as report
of Gen Shermap's remarks in Hartford.
He said he did not think that when he
came TO read the book that he should
feel it necessary to make any public
statement in contradiction OF anything
that Davis might say regarding him.
In regard TO the charge that he yield
ed the command to Beauregard. Gen.
Johnston characterizps il as absolutely
false and added that il Davis had made
such statement he made one which he
must have known was incorrect. Touch.
ing the charge that he had violated
Davis orders and refused to invade
Fast Tennessee, lie said that he did not
receive such orders and at time when
it was absolutely impossible to execute
them. He was in North Carolina with
an army OF 1900 men and his orders
required him to provide wagons, horses,
provisions and other means OF trans.
porting an army of 5000 men. In or
der TO get these necessaries most OF them
mgst have come from Atlanta and be-
yond. Sherman was at Chattanooga
with his army and he
would have prevented the execution
of this plan. Johnston informed his
superiors that the only way to invade
East Tennessee was first to receive
Sherman's attack in the neighborhood
OF Atlanta and defeat him and then un-
dertake the invasion. He moved his
army towards Atlanta, prepared for bat.
tie, and before an action took place was
superseded by Hood, and when Hood
subsequently, evacuated Atlanta, john
son said, in his opinion, the end oil the
war was near at hand.
Another Washington special says:
"The suit Of Walsh against Brown, en-.
tered Yesterday in the Circuit Court OF
the District, is regarded by those famil-
lar with the Star route fraud as the be-
ginning of the end" 1t is said Walsh
has already supplied the Government
with much damaging evidence against
the ring.

Bad Condition Of the Illinois Wnsst
Crop.

CHICAGO, June IA special from
Springfield says the official reports ss TO
the condition OF the fall wheat crop In
Illinois are very far from satisfactory.
In the central portion OF the State,
where nearly one-third OF the wheat
crop is grown, A per cent. OF the ground
sown with fall wheat, has been plowed
up. and the remaining acreage wiz not
weld more than 10 per cent OF the ss-
erage. In the southern divlsion ol l' ll,e
state, where nearly two thirds isgroSn,
rs per cent. of the wheat acreage mas
been plowed up and the remaining
acreage will hardly yield hall the aver,
age. Complaints OF chinch bugs anu
army worms are numerous, anu on lhe
whole the reports are exceedingly un-
favorable aud very discouraging.

The Pitney Matter.
Pitney, the custodian OF the Treasury,
has refused to testify before the inyesti
CATION committee, and he maintains that
they cannot compel him to testify under
oath. There Is no way under the ordi-
nary rules Of evidence 10 force Pitneyto
testify. The ground that he might thus
criminate himself protects him. he
was willing to answer questions ii not
sworn, but would not be put under
oath. This action OF Pitney causes
considerable comment, one report being
that he holds his mouth TO protect men
who have held and now hold higher po.
sitions than he holds. In fact Pitney
has let ont hints to that effect.
