Dear Sir Your letter of the 9th inst. na-
king inquiry with regard TO certain goods and
money sent TO Mr. James Underwood. of this
place, in care of Samuel C. Pomeroy, and 9th
er matters has been received will endea-
voT TO give you correct statement Of The facts
as clearly as possible.
About The 9th OF January last, there were
sent to M:. Underwood, m care OF General
PomeFoy, from Rockville Station, in the State |
OF Indiana, for distribution to the people of this
township, the following described goods, to wit: /
One hundred and ten barrels of -four, ninety |
bushels of wheat, still greater. proportion OF !
corn. meal, $500 an clothing, valued, and !
SIX boxes Of clothing not valued. There was |
also seat, at the same time, from the same place
TO PomeFoy, sum OF money OF which I.now !
forget The exact amount, near $500, TO paw /
freight on these goods. The Chairman OF the |
Conilee at Rockville wrote to Mr.. Underwood |
at the same time sending ihe goods, informing |
him of the facts. About the Goth cf January, |
Mr.. u, accompanied by layseif, went 10 At |
Gibson, toF the purpose OF procuring lhe goods, |
and bringiag them out here. When we asked l
GENERAL Ponefoy concerning the goods, ne sad |
hat there mad never been any shipment what
ever TO him from Rockville. MIR. Underwood |
remarked that there must he some mistake. as
be had then IA his possession letter from the
Chairman OF The Committee at Rockville, sta
ing that the goods had been sent some time,
lad demanded to see Pomsfoy's books.
At 6rst The General refused 10 allow the
,ooks 10 be seen, and said he would not DO SO
anil he was shown TIE letter from Rockville.
suppose Mr.. u, telt some delicacv with re-
gard to showing the letter, as 1t contained some
illusions to the General of a not Ferv highly
7atteFing character; but at length both letter
lnd books were produced, and it was found by
he books that the goods had been sent and re-
,eived as the letter described. Pomeroy then
aid that the goods bad lot been shipped to Mr.
Underwood, and that at all events they had al
eady been distributed, AID that lie could get
hone OF them. The General then left the Of
ice, leaving Us to The gentIemanly attention of
me of his clerks, Mr.. Herficks Of this county,
rom whom we received no satsfac,lon, but a
JaSe. MIR. Underwood has never yet received

With regard to the way in which accounts
re kept at the general relief depot, 1t is little
urious. The system i1 one of double entry.
t is very simple plan, but very Ingenious
The teamsters, as you doubtless know, receive
certain compensation fer hauling each load,
When they choose 20 take it--say from 50 10
$40, according 10 distance. Well, this IS the
way they are paid they sign receipt on the
ooks at Pomerov's office, IS for so much money
eceived for hauling, and thereupon receive an
rider on the sold clothes depot" for the same
mount of clothing. When they arrive at the
lOthing depi, they are compelled to take cid
lothes at q remarkably stiff price, considering
hey ere sent as charity and then another
ntry is made upon The book, of clothes dlstrib-
ted. Don't you see bow readily the money
gill be accounted for, by paying off teamsters
the rate of from one hundred to two hundred
nd fifty per day, and at from S. TO $40 per
cad in old clothes .
Yours truly,
