Swaim, FORMALLY WITHDRAWN BY MR. BATEMA\ ‘Mr. A. E, Bateman, the banker, who preferred charges against Gen. Swalm in connection with a ue bill for $5,000, sent the following letter to the Secretary of War yesterd “The suit against our firm on the due bill men- toned in my charges of yesterday against Gen. D. G. Swaim having been withdrawn, and the differ- ences between Gen. Swalm and niygelf satisfacto- rily settled, I hereby withdraw the charges: contained in my letier of April 16 agatnst sald Gen. D. G. Swaim, he claiming they were made under a wisapprehension of facts, which I concede.” IU1s generally believed that the matter will end here, although there are a number of persons who are of the opinion that General Swat, considering the gravity of the charges made, will feel bound to reques} a court of inquiry, and if he does not, that the Président wit direct ‘an investigation of the matter. In view of the improbability of any further or more specific charges, however, 1t 15 not likely tbat the Secretary of War will take any ac- tion in the matter. ‘The most that he would do, tt 4s thought, 1s to ask General Swaim tomake a re- port upon the matter. Secretary Lincoln this afternoon declined to say what, If any, action would be taken regarding the charges against Gen. Swaim. ‘The suit of Bright & Humphrey agt. Bateman & Co., of whicit the $5,000 due bill given by defendants to Gen. D. G.
