General McCalla, and his CaIumniators.
The violence Of the attacks on General Nc
Calais character, by the administration presses
Of this city and Baltimore, has beer the subject
Of general remark and censure. That Of the
Star-on the Saturday previous to the city cleo
ton is the climax. II was concocted, in some
Of its points, for several weeks before it ap-
peared, especially in that part which charges
paper appeared too late on Saturday to allow
an immediate reply, as the public Offices were
closed at 3 o'clock, and no facilities would be
allowed to General McCalla or bis friends for
obtaining the official refutation Of the accuse
ton, outof Office hours. Tho unhirness Of the
attack, 80 revolving to q generous public senti-
ment, produced its appropriate effect, and, as
is believed, aided in General McCalla's election.
It is from respect to the opinions Of his
friends at distance, and his opponents who
disapprove assassin-lke SANDERS, that General
McCalla is induced TO lay the statement, which
Is given below, before the public. It is a copy
of tho record in the Registers Office, of the
settlement Of his last account as Marshal of
Kentucky 1t speaks for itself -and effectually
exculpates him from the Islander of the STAR
\ It shows, that, so far from being in any
sense defanlter, no money on account Of the
census Of 1870, ever passed into his hands
that Mr.. Stubs was the agent Of the State
Department for paying the Kentucky assistants,
that the money went into his hands for that
.purposethat he paid the assistants upon
General McCallas order, that the two assist
ants, whose compensation amounted to up
wards Of $500, and whose accounts were left
unbalanced up to 1s4s, had been paid on
General McCalla's drafts in 1S4l--that the
evidence of said payments was on file, and that
il was the fault Of some officer in the Depart
ment that it was not properly balanced and
that Mr.. McCulloh, the first Comptroller,
after fully examining the case, declares in his
decision that General McCalla was then, as
he is non justly entitled TO credit likewise as
he was for the Others paid by Mr.. Stubbs."
The evidence is submitted to the public that
they may see the utter recklessness Of the
ISLANDERS Of the administration press.
Perhaps Mr.. Stubs can tell who gave the
information to the editor of the Star on which
he uttered this last one.
