ToriKA, Jan. q, 1873.
Yesterday, in the House, d. n. Adams,
Of Shawnee. arose to question Of privilese
relative to printed letter ''by oas Of the
people" which had been laid upon the desks
OF member, containing . letter vritiea b
Senator Pomeroy to b. g. Evans, editor Of
the Perryvills 1imes, dated Angus 2. 1872.
in which the following sentences occnrs |:
''Dan Adams will pay my checks, and be i
q mutual friend" Mr.. Adams stated that
this letter vas written in reply to letter Of
Mr.. Evans. requesting some assistance to
enable him to continue the publicaiios Of Ais
paper in the interest Of the Repoblicaa party
until after the Presidential election, and also
at tie request Of the Secretary Of tie Rspob-
lican National Committee, to whom M.
Evans had written upon the same subject,
and which letter had been referred 70 Mr..
Pomeroy. In the letter referred to Senator
Pomeroy enclosed his check, drawn upon
the First National Bank of Atehison, for
500. which check vac brought to Topeka
and cashed BY Mr.. Adams. Who forwarded
the came to A,chison for collection, and vss
paid by the bank upon which ii vas drawn.
Mr.. Adams stated further, that this vas the
first, last and only check that be ever sav or
cashed which was signed BY Senator Poms-
roy.
This morning saw Mr.. Evans, Who had
just arrived from Perry, and received from
him detailed statement of the whole affair.
Last summer he was publishing the
Perry Times- a. 4 Republican paper.
and some parties in Perry, strongly
imbued with Liberalism, held .
mortgage on part of the Office. He applied to
Major J. NJ. Crovell, Of the Postofice De-
partment, for party aid to raise mooey to
relieve him, and received, some time there.
after. a check to pay the Indebtedness,
which check D. NJ. Adams, banker Of this
city, cashed. Subsequently, the Perry Timss
vas purchased BY another man, whose name I
don't know. However, I am informed that
the new purchaser found private letters BE-
longing to Mr.. Evans about the ofice, and
forthwith permitted friends and acquaint-
ances to read the Letters, and offered one Of
them to Hon. T. D~ight Thacher. of the
Lawrence journal, for publication. Mr..
Thacher published the private letter. The
foregoing is true statement Of the case,
and every reader can judge for himself
where the censure belongs.
l telegr.phed you the ''card'' OF the
Atchison delegation, which will wholly set
to rest all those people whose minds have
been troubled about the position of the
Atchison members and Senators. 1t
will also destroy that remarkable chapter Of
fiction prepared by John J. Ingalls, and the
editor of the Lawrence Journal, which
chapter, perhaps, led some people to Gus
pect that Wilson, Larkin, Spsulding and
Grimes, were elected with the express un-
derstandiug that they would oppose Pome-
roy. Anyhow, the Atchison delegates,
with view Of saving Thatcher any fur
Their mental anxiety about their posi- ion.
signed the card and solicited its publication
in The TINES.
The anti-Pomeroy society will hold an
other meeting tomorrow night. l have
not been advised of the programme for the
occasion, but judge it will consist of enter
tanning little speeches about purity, inies.
rity and intellect, and resolutions denounc.
ing Senator Pomeroy. wish Col. Snoddy
could get into that caucus. don't even
know whether his sympathies bend in that
but ii he was in there, he would
make some business for newspaper men, and
find out in remarkably short epace of
time the number Of members on the fence.
Snoddy could make more "help' in Eve
minutes time in that caucus, than Moon
light, York and johnson, can make in q
month.
Senator POmeroy 10 coUl, calm and con-
tented. He nov regards his election o. def
ni,ely certain, and doesn't seem to care
whether his opponents bring out Love,
Phillips. or Harvey. l understand that
Babcock and Kslloch are exerting their in
fuence in favor Of the Senator'S reelection.
