NV. Conway, the Delegate to Congress from Arkan-
sas; which were communicated by Mr. Barton Tor
publication.
During the late session of Congress, Mr.. Barton
conceived il TO be his duty to prove before the Com
mite Of the Senate on Public Lands, that Mr.. Con-
way, as Deputy and partner OF the late Surveyor
General of Illinois, sc. had drawn money from the
Treasury on false certificates Of survey, which was
applied to the discharge of their partnership debts
To prevent misunderstanding Mr.. Barton gave no.
l,ce of this his intention, in letter to Mr.. Conway
on the 5th of May. On the eth OF June, Mr.
Conway acknowledged its receipt, and stated that
his official duties had prevented his attention to i
before that time but being then at leisure, he gave
lnotice 10 Mr.. Barton that in the OF the day
he should demand satisfaction for the insult. A
Ichallenge was accordingly sent; TO which MIR. Bar
ton returned the following digni6ed answer;
"The offensive expressions in my letter OF the 5tt
of May, are not only true, but proved by me TO be
so, in the course of my public duties in arranging
the official conduct OF your uncle, and yourself a;
his deputy, for which refer all concerned to the
ecords of the nation contained in the testimony BY
me filed in that case, and to the able report of the
Attorney General Of the United States upon that
subject
81 therefore decline the honor proposed by you
never intending to recognize the principle that the
investigation OF official conduct, whether Of prnci
pal or deputy, in the manner in which have con-
Quoted the one in question: can impose any obga
tion to give the kind OF satisfaction which you seem
to desire. even TO an innocent party"
