JOHNSTON VS.. DAVIS.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-A correspon
dent telegraphs as follows: Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston tells me to-day in reference to
disparaging statements which Jefferson
Davis has made in his Davis )recent book,
that he has not seen the book yet; only
some extracts that newspapers have pub
lished, as well as the report OF Gen. Sher-
mans remarks in Hartford. He said he
did not think that when he came to read
the book he should feel il necessary to
lake a public statement in contradiction
of anything that Davis might say regard
ing him. He did not believe Davis could
or would say anything rejecting on his
personal character. He however was quite
willing to make such hasty and informal
deniel of Davis statement as brief inter-
view would allow. In regard to the charge
that he ought. after the victory of Bull
Run, to have taken his army into Wash
ington he said that that came of the hue
and cry raised in the South directly after
the battle. Davis knew very well it was
impossible for him to have done SO, be-
cause there was a river mile wide which
1t was necessary to cross before the city
could be taken. This was q palpable fact.
That idea entered neither his head
nor that of Beauregard, and if
Davis thought of it he said moth
ing. In forty hours he was at Manassas.
In addition the Confederate army was in no
shape to undertake the task The mass of
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-06-13

the Confederate army supposed the war
had ended with that battle and were disor-
ganized. In regard to another charge that
he had yielded the command to Beauregard
Gen. Johnston charaeferizes it as absolute
~ false and adds af Davis has made such
q statement he made one which he must
have known was Incorrect Touching the
charge that be had violated Davis orders
and refused to invade East Tennessee he
said he did receive such orders and at a
time when it was impossible to execute
them. He was in North Carolina with an
army of 10000 men. This order required
him to provide wagons, horses, provisions
and other means of transporting an army
OF 5000 men. In order to get these neces-
sar1es most of them must have come from
Atlanta and beyond Sherman was at
Chattanoga with his army and he would
have prevented the execution of this plan.
Johnston informed his superiors that the
only way to invade Tennessee was first to
receive Sherman's attack in the neighbor-
hood OF Atlanta, defeat him and then un-
dertake the invasian. He moved his army
toward Atlanta, prepared for battle, and
before the action took place was superced-
ed by Hood, and when Hood subsequently
evaded Atlanta, Johnston said that in his
opinion the end of the war was near

PARIS, June 12.-The race for the
Grand Prix Paris" took place to-day, and
resulted in another victory for an American
horse. j. r.. Keene's b. c., Foxhall, was
the winner, with Lefevre's Ch c., Tristan,
second, and Count De LaGranges' b. c.,
Albion, third. The contest was a very
close and exciting one, especially near the
finish. Tristan joined Foxhall at the dis
tance pole and both ran good race home
Foxhall staying longer won by head.
The weather was fine but sultry. The
various roads leading to Longs Champ
were thronged with vehicles, A great
many drags were conspicuous in bearing
the American flag The attendance was
immense. President Grevy, ex-Queen Isa-
bella and Ministers Constans, Magnin and
Ferry were present. Rochefort, Duke of
Hamilton. Prince Soltykoff and Marshal
Mcmahon were in the paddock. Owingto
the recent rainfall the course was in excel
lent condition. Two to one was the best
price obtainable. Albion and Tristan We're
well supported. Long prices were obtain
able about the remainder. 1t may
be truthfully said that Foxhall was in
front through the race, and despite all eff
forts of Archer, who brought Tristan with
great rush at the distance, Foxhall won
by head, amidst tumultuous applause
from Americans. who seemed to go quite
mad, and the waving of the Stars and
Stripes from many drags. In the prelim-
mary canter Cassmir and Albion appeared
to go best, though Foxhall was greatly
admired
After one false start the horses were
sent on their journey. Foxhall and iris
tam took the lead. but Archer pulled Iris
tam back and Dublin became second. Al
ternate running was then made by Foxhall
and Dublin, followed by Fiddler, Leon and
Albion, with Forum and Tristan next,
Cassmir last, until going down hill about
half mile from home, when Foxhall still
led, with Fiddler second, Dublin being
beaten. Foxhall and Giddler were now
attended by Scobell, Tristan and Albion.
In this order they ran to the distance,
where Tristan joined Foxhall, and the
two ran a superb race home, Foxhall, who
staid longest, winning by a head. -Four
lengths separated the second and third
horses Fiddler was fourth, and Scobell
fifth

TREASURY DECISION.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Sudge Law
renee first comptroller of the Treasury,
to-day rendered the following decision: 1t
appeared that in 1871 Nathan Allspact
paid So. so per acre for the land said to be
within the 10 mile limit to the government
land grant to the Atchison Topeka and
Santa Fe railway at Augusta, Kansas, and
afterward discovered that the land was
not embraced within the limit He
obtained from the Commissioner of the
General land office conditional promise
of refund of S1.25 per acre. 1t trans
pired however that Allspact had sold the
land before the claim for refunding was
made, although he maintains he did not
sell his interest in any money due him
from the government. The comptroller
was asked to decide whether the excess
should be paid to the original locator of
the land or to the person to whom he sold
it, Judge Lawrence holds first that when
the statutes make special enumeration of
classes of persons as benefciaries under it,
all others are by inference excluded; that
the act of Sune IS, 1880 provides that in
cases where parties have paid double the
minimum price for land which has after
wards been found not to be within the 10
mile limit Of railroad land grant the
excess of 81. .25 per acre shall be refunded
to purchaser thereof. his heirs or assignees.
