Mr llawsou’s attention was called to a statement made by General Toombs, in a recent interview, In reference to charges agalDsf. Gonerai Grant when the lBtter was In Cali fornia. The passage referred to in the intervn \v, which was shown to Mr Diwaon, was »s followi; Til > Tocmbs ai d Crawford fumibes had always been quite iutima’e G' Crawfvrd’s sister had married a D Dent, who afterward died of yellow fiver in Augusta During Mi Toombs’ service in tbe federal set at a young officer named Grant bad been oourl-mat tislled in Cali font a for payiug out too much money, ss quartermaster of the Fourth regi ment, ;to his brother c/ficers John J Crittenden, cf Kentucky, appri ached Senator Toombs to secure congres sional relief for tbe unfortunate cap tain. He stated that young Grant had married Miss Julia, the daughter of Frederick Dent, of Missouri. This Dent, itwui developed, was a brother of the gentleman in Augusta, and it was hoped that Senator Tombs’ in terest in a constituent would Induce him to lend a haud in saving tbe honor of the Dent family. “Yes,” answered Mr Dawson, “I have read that interview, and I have heard it spoken of in the family. It is far from being correct, aud I may as well explain this matter, to which General Toombs refers somewhat in de ail, as you have happened lo men tion if. THE CORRECT VEKSION, “When Gen Grant was an officer (quartermaster) in Mexico lie v a-! ouligsd to carry ihe 'unds in hi- trunk. His tent was cut open in 1he back and tbe trunk drugged ou' ami cutopeo, and tbe funds, about $1(100 ixtraoisd.

These were si nt. bin a long time afterward, and wme received in the a settee of Captain Grant, and, tbe value of the package not being appreciated, put away aud forgotten. When Gen Grant was can* didate for the presidency the second time ihe unsettled acc unta were dis covered in one of the auditor’s t tfioes of tho treasury department, and the mat'er being called to the attention of Gen Gratit, gave hfs .ebook ’nr the amount.
