anime into and report upon all the faete.
The Committee was appointed. and q
most thorough search was made into
all the circumstances and facts in the
case, and the Committee were unani'
nous in generating the Secretary from
all blame whatever in the matter, and
their report was received by Com
gress without a dissenting voice.
This was at a time when party
spirit ran high, but still at time when
members OF Congress scorned to en-
deavor to sfix to the name OF public
servant any stigma upjustly and falsely.
After more than twelve years the Aud.
itor reaches the account, and by reject
ing the acceptances of the war debt, 70
which, / think, he acted correctly, he
gives this deficit as something new.
The Second Auditor Of 1861 claims the
honor OF making this discovery, when
in truth I was the one to make all the
facts known. For fidelity, efficiency
and promptitude in the administrator
OF the Interior Department. from 1897
to 1861, 1 am willing to be compared
with any administration of it either be.
fore or since that time. Certain 1t is
that no business was twelve years be-
hind time. Ihavs written this much
to you for your own information,
az I would not have you
ignorant Of the facts, but
/ have so often explained this matter
and know go we'll that all honorable
men are fully satisfied with the pro-
priety of my conduct that l must leave
maligners and the evil disposed to think
and say what they please. You can 90
what you please in saying anything to
the editor, as do not suppose they
meant to do any injustice in publishing
the dispatch. II they had thought a
moment, they would have remembered
my explanation, addressed
to the Cincinnati Enquirer, which they
pronounced a demonstration.
Yours, truly,
J. TnoMPsoN.

OXFORD, Miss, July 8. 1873.
To Jas. II. Williamson, Esq.
DEAR SIR Your letter OF yesterday
was received by me this evening. /
thank you for the extract clipped from
the Avalanche, headed, "a Large De-
fcit." The facts in this case are few,
and have been so often paraded before
the public in all its distorted forms that
malignity and prejudice could give
them that recur to them with reluc-
tance. l have always had faith in the
power of truth and its ultimate triumph
over falsehood, but after twelve years
the Second Auditor takes up the ac'
count and presents the matter to the
public as though something new had
been discovered. The whole case is
this: The department Of the Interior
is made the custodian OF the bonds
held in trust for various Indian
tribes. The interest on these bonds
is regularly collected and paid
over to these tribes. A clerk in the de-
partmeut is charged with their custody,
and If the coupons are regularly brought
forward for collection the head of the
department preserves, as q matter OF
course, the bonds that are in hands. 10
this case during my administration ol
the department a Mr.. Bailey, a clerk OF
high standing and unquestioned talent,
was charged with this duty early in the
year 1861. After all the January
coupons had been brought and regular.
ly collected, and he had been called on
to make out full statement OF his &C.
count for the Auditor, which in itself
was full and satisfactory, it became
known that would in few days re-
sign my place in the Cabinet, owing to
the contemplated withdrawal Of Missis'
sippi from the Union. Then it was Mr.
Bailey sent me his confession that be
had without my knowledge or consent
in any way, delivered over to Messrs
RUSSELL Il Co, large government con-
tractors, bonds TO the smount Of 1921, =
900, and taken in Their stead accept
snces Of the Secretary OF War for the
same amount. He stated that hs
had taken the responsibility OF doing
this to save the credit of the War De-
partment, and hsd not advised me o.
what he bad done because he knew
would condemn. and not allow him tc
touch q single bond. As soon as the
confession was received the keys OF bi:
of bis safe were taken from him and
the contents carefully counted, and The
state OF things showed his confession tc
be true in every particular. The CLERK
was dismissed for his infdelity to hi!
trust, and Congress then in session wa
informed bya communication from mt
OF what had been done, and this con-
cluded with the request that . Commit
tee, consisting exclusively Of politca
opponents, should be appointed to ex

A Few Words Concerning the "Iude-
pendent State.''

AFew Words Concerning the "Iude-
pendent State"
From the Weston Democrat.
1t has been too generally supposed
that this county is barbarous, untan'
ed wilderness, and its people unfit for
the ASSOCIATION Of those whose lot is
caet amid the buster scenes OF life; aud
our object iu this article is mainly to
show to the contrary. We premise by
saying that a more hospitable, gener-
GUS, free,hearted people never existed
upon Gods broad foot-stool. The strsn.
ger finds hearty welcome and such
as they have is shared with him in a
way that leaves him no room 10 doubt
the sincere hospitality Of his hosts. And
we may also remark with propriety
that he who takes the Webster county
people for fools or greenhorns will he
most wonderfully sucked in" when he
attempts to play any game upon them.
They possess sall the elements Of ratu-
raj shrewdness to q degree
that is not attained in the more thickly
settled Communities. To use sn old
saving they are sharp as brisrs and
GOOD common sense is By no means
a scarce commodity. That they are
honest is easily proven By the fact that
since its organization, fourteen years,
ago, the county has never had a dele
gate in the State prison and that sound
reason prevails is evidenced BY the furth'
er fact that che has never had but one
of her citizens 10 the Lunatic Asylum.

Formed.
MADRID, July l5.-Senor Pi Y. Mar
gall is engaged in forming a new Min
istry, to be presented to the Cortes for
ratification, which shall include the
names OF Seniors Esteranez, Gala and
Navaretta. 1t is believed that the
Right will present to-day a resolution
o. ceusure against the President Of the
Council OF Ministers, which the Left and
Centre will unite to oppose, and will
probably be able to defeat.
There is a strong undercurrent OF ex-
element here, growing out OF the ex.
pectation that important measures will
be brooched in to-days sitting Of the
Cortes. There is no overt demonstra-
tious, however; on the contrary, the
city is unusually tranquil.
The Government etill finds it neces-
sary to maintain a strong precautionary
forcein Barcelona to nuliiy the efforts
of the Carlists to create disturbances
which may enable them to seize the
city. The arrests of Carlists agents and
sympathisers continue. A war ship
has been sent to Barcelona to CO.
operate with the troops Of the garrison
if necessary. A large numb:r Of families
of well-to-do people in Andalusia are
preparing to leave the country,
