t.r specifes that the money shall be paid
IN the return Of the survey and the spe'
csl plat Of the survey, is dated July, 1859
Mr. Van Vleet of Clark, can testify so far
IS the payments above alluded to are Goa,
Mr. Bennet Creecy of Cowlitz county,
,rDIied through bis agent, Mr. Burbank, Of
,bs Council, for the refuDding of $l37, paid
nv him in 1857, to Mr.. Garfield. In proof
II the payment, he has filed the following
litter. which was written while was act
iUg as Register, and without my knowl-
edge:
OLYMPIA, W. T.
July427th, 1860. !
Mr.. CREEcT, DEAR srR:-Yonr letter of 18th inst.
tinp certain inquiries in regard to your pre.emp.
tjon claim Is received. II seems that Blakeny, like
~ nIaVues Of Egypt, is destined t1 annoy your
SsipbboThood. He shall never pre-empt it over you
While hold Office. would, however advise you 70
move on the claim as soon as possible, and reside
there The law requires that party shall reside up.
on a pre emption claim three months, and then, as
soon as the land is surveyed he can enter It, Whether
the township, in which your claim Is situated, has
been surveyed or not, do not know. Please advise
ne on this matter. If any thing happens by which
Won loose your claim, you will get your money back.
Your friend truly,
D. OAhflElD.
A remarkable letter to be written by an
officer whose duty it is TO sit in judgment
in contested cases.
Mr. Creecy, not being able to hold the
claim, wishes the money refunded, and Mr.
Garfield promised Mr. Burbank to pay it
in Immediately, bat now refuses to do So
until be can hear from the Commissioner.
The whole Of the sums above men,
toned, as we can show by Mr.. Garfeld's
own receipts and Acknowledgements, were
paid to him, with tie exceptions of $258
paid to Mr.. Rankin, for which Mr.. Gar
feld acknowledges himself responsible,
(Mr. Rankin having acted as Mr. Gar
fields agent during Mr.. G's ABSENCE
He has not only been acting as Receiver
DeposiIary, and discussing agent, but as
private banking house, for the deposit of
moneys, where the owners having no safe
investments for their capital, were afraid
to lend out on interest, aud could not
trust themselves to keep their own money.
1t is difficult to ascertain in what capa-
city he holds, and "where the little Joker
lies, and impossible TO understand why he
should now, after delay of three years,
consult the Commissioner on private de-
\posits, of which the Commissioner knows
nothing whatever, and for which the Gov
eminent cannot be made responsible.
With regard to the circulation of q re.
port of cruelty to an orphan boy, neither
], or any Of the gentlemen with whom |
associate, have ever heard of it before, and
cannot regard it in any other light than
an invention to call of attention from other
charges. For fear that may be charged
with SANDER, l take this occasion to state
that have never heard, and do not believe
the report.

tion will be consistent. If the fugitive
act be s'law," oil who conspire in favor of

the fugitive act void; should be most Sc
verely punished.

punishment of Tom Corwin, Senator
