that according to the strict letter
of the order the company was en-
titled to large part of the bonds
issued at the time they were issued,
and that it would be entitled to the
whole of them in q few days. The
truth is no one preteuds that the
county suffered loss by the prema-
ture Issue Of said bonds or any part
of them. Indeed, under au arrange
ment made between the county and
the company for the issuing of $780,
600 of the bonds at the time they
were issued, II was rendered abso-
lutely certain that the road would be
built. and that the company would
be entitled to the whole of the bonds.
Having stated the facts without
comment. as they are in the Buch-
anau county bond case, | leave them
with the intelligent, honest and um-
suspecting people of the state, be-
lieviuY that nothing will he recoy-
nized i'll them sustaining the imputa-
tions made by .'St. Joseph /
In the st. yosepn Daily Herald of
the Sth inst. ,HtLe following precious |
morsei appenps; whilst speaking of
me it says:
"Many rumors about his settling |
his clients cases diSadvantageously
to their interests. as per example the
Bender and Marklc militia claims. /
better known as the paw paw
claims. The boys openly denounce
him as seilin" them out, and claim
that he was bought up ami received
money from Bender and Markle."
There is only one specification
found in the above sweeping state
ment, and | confess was surprised
| To see ii i'll the columns of a paper, the
editors of which have known me so
long. But | will not comment upon
it. The following letter of Captain NJ.
NJ. Claggctt. and accompanying atfi
davit of Bender 4 MarKlc. will place
the libel in its true Ii ght before the
people.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept. 9, 1872.
Hon. .Silus UoOdsOn:
SIR know that the officers and
soldiers, ut least a great many of
them, who had claims against tn
state of Missouri for services rem
dcred during the war, appointed me
their agent to employ counsel and
and bring suits against Bender II
Markle for the purpose of trying to
recover the money which had been
collected by Bender ~ Markle for
them. and which SAID Bender 4
Markle refused To pay over to the
persons entitled thereto; that en-
| plOycd Governor Hall and you to
bring suit for the parties. and that
YOU instituted about thirty suits. and
all by attachment that went on the
bonds of all the plaintiffs in the at
tachmemt suits. know further that
mt the time the suits were brought
the sheriff of Buchanan county was
an extreme radical: and knowing the
prejudice of radicals against the
:.paw-paw III litia. we did not hope
TO succred before a jurv summoned
hv :, radical sheriff. bul We hopcu and
rynrctrd 10 elect n democratic sher-
itr before the eases were tried and
thus we expected a fair and impar-
!, tiol iurv. We were disappointed in
!, uur homes. and another radical sher-
iu WAS elected.
} After this result we doubted our
. Surrc.s in the eases. and concluded A.
/ "A large amount of property had been
attached. aud that if we were beaten
the damages might be heavy in the
attachment eases. that rather thai
take the risks involved. that if the de

costs and agree not to sue on the at
tachmcnt bonds that we would dis
