AMOS KENDALL AND THE BROKERS.
We invite the attention of Congress
10 the following letters, which appear 10
the N. Y. Standard at the request Of Mr.
Kendall. The name ofthe correspondent
is not given, but ii asserted, in the Star,
and appears upon the face OF the letters,
that he is one Of the Wall street brokers
The fact that Mr.. Kendall is known TO be
the power behind the throne, is here ex-
hIbiied. Why did this broker address
Mr.. Kendall on the subject of the bank or
Of the depositesp MI. X. was not the
Secretary Of the Treasury. The answer
is that all believe that Mr.. Kendall con-
trolls the President. and that the President
commands MIR. fancy TO obey MIR. Ken
dali. A striking illustration OF this was
given The other day IN one of the letters
Of the Spy in which MIR fancy is
represented as coming 10 the President
with list Of banks, and representing that
the list was approved by Mr.. Kendall, up
on which the order for their selection by
the quantity, without further inquiry or
inv. stigation, was made impeTa,ive!!
But we are told by The Standard that
MIR. X, ndsll's letters have been returnen
10 bim!! Why SOP Was he apprehen.
sive that MIR Noah's suggestion that wit
uesses would be examined before the com
mittee OF Congress, might bring his cor
respondence TO lightp We have no doubt
Mr.. Kendall will produce more than one
correspondence that will make him ap
pear dsinterested and patriotic, but We
are SO increculous, that fifty letters writ
ten for the purpose. would not satisfy US
that he has not made the most OF his pow
er. We know that he advised MIR CLAW
to vote for Mr.. Adams, and afterwards
assailed him for doing so; and his own
oath proves that he offered TO come on to
Washington and write in defence of MIR.
Clay's vote for Mr.. Adams provided MIR
Clay would give him a salary of fifteen
hundred dollars per annum. He after
wards deserted Mr. Clay, and was among
his most active and nnreienting assailants
And we know that he stipulated that he
should receive money, by way of an &C
conmoda'Ion, before he would consent 10
commit himself against Mr.. Clay and f,r
General jackson. The Witnesses TO prove
this fact are in this city. We have the
best right TO know this fact, for we al
vanced twelve hundred Of three thousand
dollars which he obtained. We kno,o
that MIR. Kendall was careful then to slip
uiaie for the one thing needn't; and
knowing this fact, we must be excused
II we have our supicions that he has lost
nothing by the arrangements which threa
ten to erwhelm the entire community
with g,nersl bankruptcy

appear IN the Standard. AS published by

Dear Sr-Your letter of the Goth inst.
is at hand. Since my return have re
ceived several letters from you, all of
which have remained unanswered as have
all other letters from New York, merely
because | resolved TO have no correspon
dence with any one there until the great
question should be decided
On account of your devotion to the
cause ] bad so much at heart, | was
anxious that Bank should be
employed by the Treasury Department;
but on considering the subject in all its
bearings, it was thought proper at pre-.
sent TO confine the selection to the three
banks of large capitals already named TO
The public. The question is yet open as
to the--bank. With high respect,
Your obedient servant,
AMOS KENDALL
WASHINGTON, 18th Oct. 1888.
