We learn from unquestionable authority, that this gentleman,
failing in all his efforts to get a Court of Inquiry to make an investigation
of his official administration of the Quartermaster’s department in this city,
will, about the middle of next month, publish a full defense against all the
charges and insinuations which have been given to the public by the “Scandal
Hunting Committee,” and other authorities.
The matter has become one of great public interest, and his defense will
be looked for with a good deal of curiosity.
In this connection it is proper to state, that he denies, emphatically,
the use of the profane and coarse language attributed to him in the report of
the “War Claims Commission” at St. Louis. –
Mo. Republican.
Gen. McKinstry did one good act while Provost Marshal at St.
Louis, that will counterbalance a multitude of delinquencies; he suppressed the
circulation in Missouri of the Dubuque Herald,
which was strengthening the arm of treason.
