WH'' ID. oiles ba' this moment seen Mr. H1y's
ho.e In ,Ie Enquirer, denying the authorship OF
" Daru, &c. S". and replying 10 an intimation
that he was - defaulter'' he mistakenly terms
II. The in'ination was nothing more nor less than
thal MIR. H. heretofore, had The handling of large
sums OF public money, and it was not known
whether he had setIled his public accounts or moi
1t nov turns out that Mr. II. did handle large
sums oil pubic money, and That his public ac-
counts remain unsettled. w. b. c. accepts with
pleasure 1he olive branch a, the hands of Mr.. H..
but w. Is IT, thinks il his duty to state 10 the pub.
lie and to Mr. IL. that several scurrilous a,,scks
were made upon him in the Wing, that they COM
menced immediately alter the senior Eiitors return
rom w ashinSion. That shortly afterwards Mr.
HIS arrival in Richmond was announced Thar
one, or more OF these scurrilous papers professed
To reier TO the private journals al the Senate: and
their authors protested 10 be well acquan,e ed with
the strange doings al Washington. II Is believed
hat Mr. H. well knew, that during the service OF
W. Is. q. in the Senate OF the United States No
domination OF any person, who had previously
fDeen engaged IN handling rery large sums of
Pu0Hc money, was permitted 10 pass shat BODY
without some investigation. and also knew that
W. Is. IT, was acquainted with The fact Of Mr. II 5
having handled large sums of public mouey. From
these circumstance, and frequent intimaticns made
10 w. bG OF Mr.. li's unirleudy ms mutations in
relation to him, tor three years past he did infer
that Mr. ii. did not wish TO w. b. in the
Senate, at tins moment, and would use his enlea-
yours to prevent it. But, w. Is. G., being desrou,
OF obtaining more correct information upon those
points before he published his relutaton of The
charges brought against him, by - Daru" REQUEST
ed his son, Mr.. Il. t. Giles call on the Editors
OF the W ig for the name of The author of Daru.
When, after some consultation, the name was. in
effect, refused. w. Il. O. beng assailed by SET o.
malicious scIIbb'ers, who ashamed 10 show
their own iacesi ana believing they were sinulat-
eddy oher', who supposed tiey had an interest in
excluding him from lie Senate, determined To call
forth such real persons, he had reason TO believe
we're concerned, and did fix on Mr. IL. as one OF
the persons.
Wills. w. b. G. admits his mistake. he has
some reasons Tor regre,ing tie iniirnation res
pec'ing the handling OF public money Yin making il.
he Intended Only TO make known fact winch
mghi hecome Interesting To himself and others
which ought 10 be known; and which, it must be
presumed, Mr.. III. did not wish should remain nm
known. The evidence of Mir. H's handling the
public money, Came before w. b. o., rom a Judi
ci"l proceeding w. b. q. was made defend mt in
chancery suit, in which Mr.. HIS receipts of pu;,
lie funds were exhibited TO amount, PERTAINS ex
,eedhg $50, 900, dated in 1906, 1907, sos, and
1910
The interests of the defendants, were materially
concerned, In Mr. HIS receipts Of these iunts; and
II was believed thai the receipts exhibi ed did not
include The whole paid 10 Mr.. H. Indeed. that
The whole deb. from the late Col. w. &. Nicholas
was received by MIR. III. A gentlemen in Ri, h
mond, who acted for the defendants, informed w
b. o., that he had called twice upon Mr. H., for a
iull statement OF these accounts wi hout success
nor could he obtain promise from MIR. II. 10 give
attention to the subject. 1t is not improbable but
tint the unbalanced contents oG Mr.. il an!IIla or,
book OF accounts, elected 10y the intima,ion, with
out casting tie least lnpuaiOn upon Mr. II. may
be found material to the interests OF some OF the
defendants, who are the suffering creditors and Sc.
curliies OF the late Col. w. G.. Nicholas. w b.
". cannot see -'!r HIS object IN urging a suit I'm
chancery against himself for the settlement o; his
accounts as Mr.. I'll. suggests and w. b. q.
feels no disposition 10 contrOvert The suggestion
'he book contains lair and just entries of all the
ueDis ana credits, the balance, il is presumed might
be struck without a suit. Whatever may be Nlr,
H's object, w. 3. q. hopes, tina, Mr. "A. from his
own sense OF justice, will afford the defend nts an
opportunity OF examining e.e book, before The
wished tor cbancery suit shall he ended more espe-
ciaIy as Mr.. VI. iniimstes, that he may not BE-
charged at the treasury with his receipts w. H.
IT, VIII venture TO assert that he knows less of the
ari oil account keeping than Mr.. r., but il would
seem 10 MIN, that u the treasury credited 1ir. H.
ruth OIL the money lee paid, which, Of course,
must be known at the department, WITHOUT debit
ing nm run ms receipts, which were not known
then, Mr.. IL must sppeir To be a very large ciedi-
Tor upon the books OF The treasury. w. y. c. is
informed, thai no satisfactory information upon the
point IN question could be- obtained at tie treasury
nor through the u. S. District Attorney, nor
through the clerks Office OF The Federal Coun.
