CALIFORNIA CORRESPONDENCE
We publish in this days paper letter from
I.P. Van Hagen, formerly resident OF this
CITY and clerk of the District Court. Mr.. Van
Hapen's letter communicates much interesting
information, which will be read by our readers
with pleasure.
In this connection it is not improper for US to
allude to a matter, connected with the ofhciai
conduct of this gentleman when an officer OF
this county, which was some months since dis
cussed through the columns Of the Auxiliary
Print, perhaps to the injury in some quarters, OF
his character. We allude to an intimation in
the Dubuque Herald, in 1852, that |. P. Van
Hagen, was defaulter to the county for con-
siderable amount, as Recorder and Treasurer
We objected at the time, to the injury sought
to be fastened upon the character of Mr.. Van
Hagen, but it did not check the onslaught upon
him, which was kept up for some time.
This matter had pretty nearly passed out OF
our mind, until revived by conversation with
one of our county officers the other day, who
so entirely exonerates Mr.. Van Hagen, from
any delinquency as an officer, that we cannot
allow the opportunity to pass without word OF
explanation to the public il his behalf.
1t was broadly intmated that Mr.. Van Hagen,
when Treasurer, had received large amount
of money for taxes, which he had never ac-
counted for. So boldly this charge pu,
forth, that we we're almost deceived into con-
demnation of him ourself However, to show
that we were discreet in being silent, we have
only to state, that after two years of gathering
taxes, all the receipts discovered with |. F. Van
Hagen's name upon them Treasurer, unac-
counted for by him before resigning the office
do not amount to the sum Of $25. Holding the
Office as he did some four years, it is certainly
creditable TO him, that he should have CLOSED
up its affairs with no greater balance agains
him. Ii he never commits any greater errors
as an officer, he may consider himself fortan-
ate; and if no greater delinquincies are discov
cred here, his house and lot in Cooks Addition
will be entirely safe.
Thus much, we have considered due to thu
character Of an old citizen.
DEATH OF LlPpARD George Lippard, al
