manner in which the TOwnahip was relieved
from the draft, but it is to be regretted
that these letters also placed 10 au improper
and unpleasant light a certain citl-ea Of this
township, who being sent by the township,
at heavy expense and good pay, to present
to the proper officers this matter in relation
TO credit of 81 men from this township.
This certain citizen on returning again. au-
nOunced, that these 81 men were credited to
Moorefeld township, adding and asserting
publicly, that HE had affected and accom-
plished that credit '-that no other ner-
son could do what HE had done in this mar.
ter''-that HE was better acquainted with
the officers than any other man that
"several persons from this county trisI TO
accomplish credit, spending hundreds of
dollars and all in vain - that "only HB
could get it and that g if the people did
not pay him promptly HE would recall the
credit, ETC., THUS holding boastingly out
the idea that HE possessed power and pre-
rogatiye over Government officers; and that
HIS equals could not be found, ETC., which
of course is not questioned in this communal
cation, and such arrogance and assumption,
whether valid or not is willingly passed by in
silence, yet it is humbly believed and thought
that a misunderstanding will be created by
an apparent discrepancy between the above
assumptions and the letter to Mr. Latham,
which is signed SOLVER Keyser," dated
Uhrichsville, April 26, 1854 in which
Mr. O. Keyser says: II went with you
(Mr. Latham) to Col Potter's Office to
see COL Potter \ You (Mr. Latham)
called upon me at Columbus to go ,oiM yos
to see Col. Potter and SEE il he would re-
verse the former order Col. Potter very
gentlemanly heard the facts in the case, then
told Capt. Davis to write an order to Capt.
Ready toilet the credit for 32 men be given
to Mooretield township. The order was given
to you (Mr. Latham to give to Capt. Rea-
dy at Uhrchsville, etc. s...as
Now this letter conveys the idea that Mr..
0. Keysef was requested to see personally
Col, Potter in regard to this matter, and up
on the facts being presented by Mr.. Kcyser
an order for the credit of 81 men was issued,
and this order handed then to Mr. Latham
for the purpose of him carrying it from Co
lumbus to Uhrichsyilic Thus, according to
this letter, Mr. O. Keyser by seeing and
presenting the matter to Col. Potter was in
strumental in causing Col Potter to issue
the order, and no other effected or accom-
piished it, Now every intelligent person
annot fail to notice clashing of statements
butween Mr.. o. keyser and that certain
citizen before mentioned, for Mr. O. Keyser
states that he was solicited to see Col Pot
ter i'll regard to the credit, and the presenta-
tiens made, induced that officer to give an
order which was then sent through Mr., La
than to GhrichSyii!e and on the other side,
that certain c}tizea asserts verbally that HE-
effected the issuing of SUCH order, and thus
accomplished the credit In view Of all this
is it not more than right 10 accord the hon
or of eHecting the credit to the kind efforts
Of Mr., 0. KeyEer as stated in his letter, and
therefore the people Of Moorcield township
ought to be under lasting obligation to Mr..
Q. keyser, and especially so as Mr. ., Key
ser did not charge mileage, wages, fees, pas
sage and other expenses Of necessity, but
done it kindly and gratuitoualy. and hence it
to contradict Mr.. Keyser's State mont, and
have the arrogance OF claiming the achieve
ment Of this credit, and thus play the 'mis-
representative y
