.1mos KeaduH Ggnin. - This man is determined to
make himself conspicuous. It will he rccoected
| that statement was published alleging tina. Haw-
kias defauer, in the of 1920, and upon
certificate of Bradley. Hawkins denied the Charge
and said he had paid 5000 draft from the Gene
raj Post Office, and that he ready TO pay the BAL
ance when drawn had been customary. This
would suit the purposes of those who had cause
lessly removed him, and Amos Kendall for effect ac-
ting as P NJ General would seem, ordered the uc-
count be the Marshal of Kentucky for col
lection. The odum of ;hus fasifyng an account
he endeavors to throw off his own shoulders upon
those ofBradley. We publish his defence and Brad
ley's reply.-The first enquiry that strikes ono TO
make in this business is what has the 9TH Auditor 20
do with the Post Oflcc' One office is not enough
for the Heaven born" His talents are so unboundcd
that he gsasps all within his capacious mind, and no
doubt now supernteuds the duties of his own office
while in Kentucky as well as If he were at Wash

From The Keniucty .qrgr,s
! "Of the other brutal attacks Mr.. Kendall, with
which the war postlcmce and famine papers have
saluted him on his arrival in Kentucky, he deems it
unnecessary TO take any notice.
| 1t is due to himself, however,to say few words
to the public in relation to the accounts oithc late
Postmaster at Frankfort. Without any inquiry on
Post Office, that Mr.. Hawkins was defau'ter, and
had been for nearly two years The statement since
published in the Argus, made out without his
quest and shown to him., On inquiry, he was salts
tied OF its entire correctness, and transmitted TO
Rrankfort- The corresponding account, certified by
Abram Bradley he sent shortly after, and because it
was not known that J. S. Smith had accepted the
Office of District Attorney, the account was direct
cd to be handed over to the Marshal. In forwarding
these papers, there objects; First to show
that the government had done right in the removal
the Postmaster: Secondly to have the BALANCE due
| the government collected.
1t turns out, that draft Of 5000 had been paid by
the late Postmaster which was not credited in that
account, reducing his dealcation to about 5000
Of the existence of that draft, NJ Kendall wns to
tally ignorant. He had no access to the books of
the Department, and never saw them Abram Brad
Icy, good condition MN, keeps the books and GER
tilted the account. For all errors, he alone re-
sponsible It is not believed that the present Post
master General himself knew that such draft had
been drawn, Both he and Mr. Kendall were de-
ceycd by Bradley. They have the singular for
tune IF having been deceived by one condition MN,
and being abused by all The rest for being deccjred
! Not word is said Of Bradley, gho keeps the books
and certifes che account; but Mr. Kendall is made
responsible for his errors!
i While lie will not be deferred from sending 10
Frankfort or elsewhere any facts which may be nc
cessary vndioate the administration against those
unprnciped mon who assail it, he would scorD
knowingly to nclose an incorrect statement for that
or any other purpose. Because the statement sent
Oy MIN 10 franKtO1J SiHgle point
aud for no other reason. he regrets that he sent it;
although he is in shape responsible for It's
OF his feelings towards the late Postmaster and
some other facts he would have added something
but for circumstances of which it is not necessary
here to speak. Ee confines bis remarks to tina
which is due to himself.
