From ne H7sincty .Irc,ts
"Of the other brutal attacks on Mr.. Kendall with
yhici, the war, pcstlence and famine papers have
sa'uted him on his arrival in Kentucky. he deems it
unnecessary To take any notice.
IL is due to himself, however TO say n few words
20 tho public IN relation to the accounts Of the late
Postmaster at Frankfort. Without any inquiry on
his part, he was informed by clerk i'll the General
Post Office, that Mr.. Hawkins deauIter and
had been for nearly two years. The statement since
fnb'Ished IN the Argus, made without his re-
quest and shown to linn. On inquiry, he was salts
hcd OF its entire correctness aud Transmitted il TO
Frankfort The corresponding account certified bv
Abram Bradley, he sent shortly after and because il
was not known that J. s. Smith had accented the
Office of District Attorney, the account was direct
Cd to be handed over TO tho Marshal. In forwarding
these papers, there two objects; First to show
that the government had done right IN the removal
ofthe Postmaster! Secondly, to have the balance due
the government collected.
II turns out, that drat of ( 020 had been paid by
tie late Postmaster which wns not credited in that
pceount reducing his detacation to about S0O0-|
Of the existence of that draft, Mr. Kendall vas to
tally ignorant IL had no acceys to the books of
the Department, and never saw them. Abram Brad
Icy's good corfUj0n Diqn keeps the books and Ger
tilted The account. For all errors he alone IS re-
eponeblc. IL Is not believed that the prescn Post
master Geprral limsclf know that such n dran had
been drawn. Both he and Mr.. Kendall were do
cejved by Bradley They huvo the singular for
time ne having been deceived by one coalition man

Not word is said Of Bradley, who kccpg the hooks
sDd certfcs the account; but Mr.. Kendall is made
responsible for his errors!
While no will not be deferred from sending 10
frankfort or elsewhere any facts which may BE- ne
ccssary to vindicste the adninistr against those
unprlnciplcd who assail il, he would scorn
knowingly To- lncloso an incorrect statement for that
or any other purpose Because the statement sent
by him to Frankfort, incorrect in n single point
and for 10 other redson, he regrets that lie sent l
although he Is nv shape responsible for it's errors
OF his feelings towards the late Posinastor and
some other facts, he would have added something
