Late Clerk IN the First AUDITORS Office.

This claim originated as follows Pre-
vious 10 the revolutionary war. the Chero-
kee and Creel, Indians became indebted
to Galphin, a trader. to the amount Of some
SIS, o0o. This, with other claims, was
provided for by the treaty. in 1913. ihro
the Governor Of Georgia. between the
British government and the Indians and
whites. to be paid out Of the proceeds OF
lands ccdel by that treaty to the British
crown. That government lost its title 10
those lands by the independence ofthe l.
States. and consequently would not pay
the claim. It was then presented TO the
Legislature Of Georgia for adjustment; but
il had ceded the lands to the l. States.
and therefore referred the claimants to the
general government, as being bound for
the debt Our government owed large
national debt until 1885, ST. when it was
finally paid This, VIC suppose, with mil
lions OF dollars OF private claims. winch
originated since this government has been
established. and which has been settled,
may have been the cause Of delay in the
settlement Of the Galphin claim.
The payment Of this claim was ordered
10 be made under loco:oco adminis:ra-
ton. and The principal was paid by secre-
tary u alker. The interest was admtfe>!

The Treasurer. " alker. for payment. He
did not determine whether il should be
paid or not. and 50 LIT il unsettled for the
present administration. We do not know
whether it was for the purpose of making
political capital out Of il, or not. But il
looks taat way.
The question IS legal one-depending
on the Interpretation ofttc act OF Congress.
which ordered the ..anount, which should
be found due, 10 be paid Does this
mean that the interest. on the principal.

swer 10 thank you in the name oil my
mother, my sisters, and myself. for the
true sentiment you entertain respecting
INV beloved father. 1ou believe him in

is the victim Of circumstances, q deeply
injured rnan--that he Is Innocent. we his
family EH0tr, and nothing on earth viii
ever take from US taIs conviction. We
have never, from the moment he wa
snatched from his home. had shadow Of
doubt on our minds, and whatever the
world may say or do. we shall ever have
that feeling TO support US. The knowl-
edge of innocence supported my father
during the hours Of suffering in the Court
room. that il is that which gives him and
Us calmncss now. amidst the many sour
ces of sorrow that have overwhelmed US
L al H..
was the result Of the trial. for we had
been assured through the winter that our
father could not but be restored 10 us. and
that at the trial, he must receive Justice
for the many Wrongs that have been heap
ed upon him. But justice fled from the
Court room. and prejudice took her place
Yet hope still fingers with Us. for We
trust that the public voice will be raised
against the gross injustice that has been
committed. and Will not allow our coun-
try to bear such a stigma on her name
such an everlasting stain as will be that Of
the sacrifice OF one so truly innocent as
my father. And if one word from Us Sir
can add feathers weight TO the efforts
that are being made. Oh. NAV we give
you the deep assurance Of our hearts.
that we feel grateful for the interest that
you express and feel, and for what you
are doing in our behalf
May God in his infinite Mercy. look
down upon you. and bless the efforts
which are being made. and if it is not bis,
will to bring the truth to light. and to al
low this awful mystery 10 be explained.
may he enlighten the minds of those into
whose hands the case Will pass.
must again thank YOU. sir. for the
kind feeling YOU express towards my dear
father. Nothing that the world can do
now. gives Us greater consolation. than
the knowledge that others believe him in
nocent. Sympathy has flowed alum
dainty from many hearts toward, Us. his
family, but how much more priced by Us
is that sympathy. when expressed for him.
That our beloved Father NAV be restored
=
and we wait trenblingly il the hope. thai
those who are now to decide in this case
may see the terrible injustice that has
been committed, and has inflicted SO much
suffering on 50 many.
Believe me, Sir.
Gratefully YOURS.
