r. NJ. CLARK.
How He has Disc .iveI the People. |
The following statements OF Facts will

thus far been kept in the dark concern
ing the above officer. We will not
name the act, we will let the tax-pay-
ers of the County christen the deed
and stamp it with that shade of infamy
it deserves. In his last september
Statement Mr.. r: NJ. Clark, Auditor of
Belmont County, certifes that the
amount paid him by the County, for
the year ending Sept. l, 1870, was the
sum of tsceRty-'aine hundred and eighty
dollars. Many: doubled this at the timet, )

Of matter for publication and regret
exceedingly to be called ON at this time
Of life to do SO, but Mr.. Clark ought to
be placed right before the people. He
was taken by surprise when he re-
ceived your letter, stating that his
name had been forwarded, and that it
was likely he would receive the ap-
pOintment. This was soon followed by
ia notice from the Department 0f the
Interior, informing him of his appoint
ment. He executed and forwarded his
bond which was approved, and his
commission received. He then took
the oath of Office, rented his farm, dis
posed of some of his property and made
all the arrangements preparatory for
tended with expense, and must now be
an entire loss. Mr.. Clark was on the
very eve of starting, when he was told
that his services were not wanted.
unders' and that your Board Withdrew
the name of Mr.. Clark, for fear that the
Senate would confirm his nomination,
as there was strenuous opposition from
Ohio. Now, it is publicly known that
Mr.. Clark had received the appoint
nent, but it Is not publicly known on
what grounds he was defeated, and the
community is left to infer that 1t was
from some corruption or inability not
known at the me of his appointment.

terian Church alone have the right to
control this matter, and If any others
are among the strenuous opposers from
Ohio, they have no right to interfere
in matters submitted to the Presbyter-
ian Church. (The remainder of this
letter is from recollection and not from
copy.) But if the strenuous opposition
from Ohio, from political grounds alone
comes from members of the Presby-
terrain Church, fear that they have
consulted party politics more than the
honor ard the credit of the Govern
ment, the success of the missions, or the
interests of the Indians. hope YOU
have made a coed choice In selecting
Mr.. Curtis as agent, and 1t it is my
prayer that he may be directed by di-
vine wisdom, and that his labors may
be blessed for the mercy of God, the
prosperity of the Church, the honor OF
the government, and the good of the
Indians. But supposing you to have
errei, ! fear that among all of Mr..
Clark's strenuous opposers, you will
find but few who will find themselves
responsible fer the acts of Mr.. Curtiss,
but on the contrary will be foremost in
raising the howl against the Presby-
terian Church for It's corruption or stu.
