STA :Y Your letter of the 25th instant came to at
SO late hour of the day that had not the oppotu
nifty TO reply to il then have had the leisure to do
till this moment You state substantially that, in
connection with the suit commenced against me and
my sureties by the United States my official bond,
and Of which had doubtless received notice, by the
service Of the process issued that you had been in
stIuccd by the special direction of the President to
the Secretary OF the Treasury require either to
pay into Court TO place in safe depose in
trust abide the Of the suit the amount ofdis
puted charges in my accounts lately audited by the
accounting officers" The amount of the deposi,e re-
CURED you also state to be $3O,5l9 SO.
In reply TO this rcqusition have 10 say:
l. The suit you refer To commenced on Sntur-
day the 20ih instant of which had notice from the
Marshal, had also most of my sureties on the bond.
need not with what surprise that notice came to
me- for you will probably appreciate il, when inform
you that my correspondence with the Treasury De
pal had closed when the process was deliv-
cred to the Marshal and should not but tor that
proceeding, consider it now closed. 1t is then quite
apparent that by the legal proceeding referred to, all
the mischief has been done me- TINT the nature OF the
susceptible Of producing
2. Ii was five DAYS after the commencement of the
suit against my sureties, that You called upon me to
dcposite the referred TO- without explaining To me
the motive for such request
1.-THE proposition had been submitted, before the
commencement OF the suit against the suretes 10 ma Ike
the depos,c for the eventual security of the United
States and such suit had been confined in case OF
the dcposite alone with the view of testing the
legality of my claim considerations would then have
entered into the question which cannot now arise.
g. As the object OF calling for deposte, could in
any view can take the case have only been for the
security fthe United States and they had, before
making such call very unexpectedly to me, broken
of the correspondence and elected to resort TO theI
legal rights against and the suretes, the perfect re-
sponsihlity OF whom 10 the consequences cannot
be doubted, think ought to leave the matter IN the
position the United States have chosen to put II. BY
which mean that, under the views take of the sub
jeci, decline making the deposite.
