Hoge by Mr.. Cleveland was received mere
with great surprise. Very few comments
we're made. as every one IS in the dark
az to the nature of the charges against
him. and from whence they come. 1T was
known that he did not go by washington
when he left home for his post, and some
thought he had delayed his departure an
unreasonable time. and that this was the
cause OF the trouble. Others thought that
his character as to sobriety had been at
tackled, but Mr.. Hoge is not emenaDie 10
this charge as II is only at long inter-
walls be INDUCED, and he could not be con-
sidered an Incorporate man; stu others
remarked IAN enemy hath done this,
and believe charges affecting his integrity
have been brought. Mr. Hoge Ia very
aggressive man, both I'm his profession
and as a politician, and has undoubtedly
offended some persons. and 1t Is generally
though IL is from some such source as this
the charges have sprung.
Your correspondent was at Radford yes
terday, and similar opinions prevail there.
Whatever may be the difficulty Mr.. Hoge

and fully exonerate himself.
