ANECDOTES RELATED By JOHN
ADAMS, SENIOR.

The following account OF The APP
pointment OF General Washington 10

tai army, June 18th, l775, has been
placed in our hands by gentleman,
in whose vcracity we have full conf
dence. We cannot doubt the authcn-

subject has OF late years been brought
before the public under various YER

narrating a conversation with John
Adams, senior, before that great and
good man was called to his final rest.
The relation is more in detail than

public; but it substantially corobo-
rates the former versions of the eau
scs which led to the appointment Of
Washington. Lest we should many
way a1rcct the anecdote, we give it
in the words ofthe narrator.
The army was assembled at Cam
bridge, Mass, under General Ward,
and Congress was sitting at Philadel-
phia. Every day new applications in
behalf OF the army arrived. The
country was urgent that Congress
should lcgalize the raising the army
as they had, what must be considered
and was in law, considered OILY :

country was placed in circumstance
of peculiar difficulty ard danger

The Vicksburg Sentinel thus dis
courscth, in relation to the Treasure
and Executive Of the State:
We are happy to learn that Gov.
Tucker has at last concluded TO ar
rest Graves further robbery, by pre-
venting the Tax Collectors from
paying over to him the taxes. Mr..
Matthews the Auditor now receives
the taxes, and Graves will make the
most of the balance of the two per
cent. fund in his possession. 1t is, in
our op!uion, the dnty of the U. S.
District Attorney tolook after Graves.
He has got the two per cent. fund in
his possession to the amount OF IA,
500 dollars; obtained through fraud
on the Treasury at Washington
Governor Tucker or anybody else
was prohibited from drawing this
money by an exI ress law of the state;
and yet Graves drew it throngha let
ter signed by Governor Tucker when
he was SICK. We think that the Fed
eral Treasury will be compelled to
pay it over again, if Graves runs off
with it or embezzes the balance
Governor Tucker ought to secure the
amount said to be in Graves private
room; if he don't it will be in Texas
the next we will hear of it. AT all
events he ought to take steps to Sc
cure Graves and the money which he
has fraudulently and illegally got IN
his possession. He is so much afraid
to do wrong, that he won't do right
but since he has taken the responsible
ity Of stopping the Tax Collectors
paying over the revenue to the quop-
dam Treasurer, he mig!t as well 60
he whole hog and stick Graves IN
one of the cells of the P, nit'ntiary,
and put the balance Of the money in
the Treasury.
