From the foregoing ii is seem sir that you told the peo
pie that you there 70 small party start 70 ~
por yonr Pacific route that the outfit cost but $50 80
and that il not at public expense the party being
{" not government party, but private company"
Sir you and both know that these statements are abso-
utey, and without qualification, untrue On the
trary stead OF relying $50 80, when you and Mr.
Beae in st Louis he drew on the department for
$4,000 to deiray the expenses OF that journey When you
thus talking he standing directly before you with
the money in his pockets Did you request him not to
rect that statement was his silence voluntary? Did you
originate that statement did putt into
your mouth? AS you have forward TO destroy my
character and despoil of my property you sir if you

Young Of Pennsylvania, for carrying SAID Beale and
four from Wepor, Missouri to California aud asked
for such explanations seemed proper to inform my
mind the subject and to enable to act faith
fully to the government and justly TO Mr. Beale, was
not wrong or oppressive. So the man who went out
and pencils in his hand Mr.. Heap prepare the
material for book concerning it, and whom you then
and there represented to the people going or ne ope
Of the thug Mr.. Beae paid the 10Th OF the
month"; exceeding days after You made your speech
at the said town of Wesport $500 for travelling
penses from Washington city San Francisco under APP
pontment of T. f. Beae superintendent OF Indian affairs
dated 18th April 1853" Now sir Mr.. Heap also be-
fore you when you made your statement TO the people
believe he accompanied yourself and Mr.. Beae from Wash
ngton and it he had his appointment in his pocket
before he left this city. Did You know that fact when
you spoke TO the people at Wesport2 Did you request
him your statement his voluntary
silence? The like opportunity will be given to yon to
these questions, with like demonstration In add
ton to this you know sir that after Mr. Beae got to San
Francisco in the fall October ID, 1858 he paid Mr. Heap
the of 81 72 22 for salary from 18th April 1861 the
day which he got his letter of appointment from Mr.
b. to the 18th November 1853 being between SO and 81
per day for every day, including that which he spent in
hearing you speak, and something like hundred days
that he had the pens and pencils in his hands o tell
and to show what be saw, and make up his mind
about the greatest work whch world has seen since
the days of the Romans &C. and also the usual time to
here where he did arrive about the middle goth
November and shortly thereafter commenced the publca-
ton of his JaQrnal."
You have fit talk thus The attack on his ac-
counts petext for premedtatcd act resolved
upon in the first month OF Mr. Perces administration 1t
all foreseen, understood, and talked between
Beale and my self and other friends the time and bis
mind fully made up expect ii. He doubted how they
could get him. told him his (tbose flexible
things in the hands Of power would be the point of attack
and cautioned him to ortify well that side Ny reply
to that is my appointment made aud entered on
duty the 3oh March, 1853 Some of my friends had
associated my with another appointment in another
department home, in the State of Ohio attend
ing to my public duties there when received the of
my appointment II to wholly unexpected At
that time had no knowledge OF Mr. Beae--am
that saw him before April sat in, and the last day of
the "irst month made communication him granting
request that had been preferred by him predeces
So far | concerned, there is tpre-
text for alleging prehosty and your very speech from
which have quoted contains language which pecudes
the idea that believed that the President the Secre
tary of the Interior contemplated such Now, to
whom else could this atrocous charge apply But be
he in eta hat
have in your 1881 ss estimate your that
Beales outfit $50 SO, that his party private
company and "not government party They all need
revision badly and you apy say, suggestive of
many conclusions"
Let ne whisper to you sir for your information, if you
do not already know the fact that Mr. Beale admitted
while here this last winter that the President had proper
cause for his removal.
Allow TO suggest to you that your assault upon Cen
keany will have its basis removed if you allow that
evidence OF Col William Henry Russell is impeachoJl II
il is untRpeaeha5i Col Fremont asserted and offered
believe TO prove by Mr. Clay and others Of the highest
character, them sir, you know would have committed
crime had allowed Of the items which suspended
and for which reproached II Col Russe's account
as given TO the Secretary of the Interior and Indian bu
reau is false and Mr.. Beaes true the act
described by himself lawful and rgh2 And do you wish
government officers to give IL their official sanction and
advertise the world that such acts pleasing them
As you courageous man, please canddly answer
these questions Their right decision would explain my
conduct in relation 10 that case
Sir instead of being liable to reproach for being oo
rigid in the examination of accounts may that
have been too lenient that have not been sufficiently
active in accommodating facts protect the Of
public. The tendency be lightly esteem 're-
ceips ana vouchers and to gain popularity by avoiding
