COL. sANGER's REPORT.
What the inspector General Has TO
Say OF the charges Against Maj.
John X. McGinnfs.

What the Inspector General Has TO
Say OF the charges Against Mai.
John X. McGinnis.
The official report of Col. ]. P. Sanger,
Of Fl. Leavenworth, Kansas, inspector
general of the United States army, upon
the matter of the investigation OF the
charges preferred against Major John r.
McGinnis. of the Rock Island arsenal has
been completed, been the rounds of the
departments at Washington. and is now
in the hands of Major McGinnis. The
report details infinitely the charges made
by Mr.. d. s. Schureman. of this city, and
the official action in connection with
them. The charges. sixteen in number,
were mainly to the effect that Major Nc
Ginnis had been in collision with quarry,
men and others to defraud the govern
ment, and that he had taken brides. in
consequence of which alleged malfeasance
in office the government had been paying
out large sums for nothing. The report
on the facts revealed by the inves-
tigatlon is lengthy, and covers the
ground fully. To 1t are appended a
number of letters, copies of sc-
counts. affidavits and other matters
offered in evidence. The document con-
cludes with the statement that the whole
matter seems to have grown out of the
disappointment of the Otway stone COM
pany. of Ohio, at being unable to control
the contracts for the island material; that
at the outset the author feared that a
scandalous. or at least, discreditable
state of affairs might be disclosed by the
Investigation, but that that Procedure
had disclosed mo evidence whatever
upon which a single material averment
of complainant can be based" and ter,
inmates with the statement that Major
McGinnis. in his Judgment, "emerges
from the investigation without the
slightest stain upon his reputation as an
officer" which "exoueration is also due
the other officers and employees of Rock
Island arsenal who have been associated
with him 10 these transactions"

FROM OVER THE SEA
A Letter ON Patrick WeIch's Attack
on catholicism Recently Delivered
IN This City.

IN This City.
Editor ARGUS:
The COMMONS, New BIRMINGHAM,
TURTLES, COUNTY TIPPERARY, IRELAND,
Nov. 11.-Your issue of the l1th ult. is
before me and the account of Patrick
Welch's bitter attack on Catholics have
read, and come to the conclusion Patrick
WEIGH must be a fit subjec; for one of
your houses of correction. During my
experience of American life l met one
ignorant man who expressed the same
views. but in manner he deserved to be
excused. He knew no better. Not so
with poor Patrick. He seems to have
share of talent, but it is proving curse
instead of benefit to him. l sm sure
sir, no matter what religion you profess,
you will not stoOp so low as TO continue
to allow your valuable space to he de-
voted to such sscrilegious and blasphe>
nous utterauces. VERY respectfully
yours, An FRESHMAN,
aud Catholic.
Our esteemed correspondent from
across the seas, evidently lacks entire
comprehension of the mission of an
American newspaper-to publish all the
news of whatsoever character. While
the ARGUS has made this its endeavor
always. and in so aiming has published
sermons. lectures and addresses of various
natures. it does not necessarily follow
that il lends its endorsement to all that il
publishes-unless it so expressly declares.
The ARGUS attempts to publish all sides
of matters of common interest irrespec'
tive of its own opinion or the opinion OF
others. And it will continue to do so.
