YARYAN's COMPLAINT AGAINST MOORE
In letter to the President, dated
May Is, 1873, Mr. Ysryan, referring to
his complaint sgainst Moore, wrote:
Although Mr. Moore was not q vol.
untary witness before that committee,
yet he did voluntarily circulate rumors
against me which probably came to the
ears Of The COMMITTEES and caused his
summons to testify. He was an officer
OF the treasury department, and il he
knew any facts could have called the
attention OF the secretary or commits
sioner to them, and caused an investi-
CATION which would either have GRIMM
ated or exonerated me from his charges.
This he never did that / am advised of,
and yet he continued to circulate these
slsnders ever since his first conversation
with Mr.. Bell. In taking the course l
did in recommending the dismissal OF
Mr.. Moore, never had @ thought of
suppressing any investigation that my
superiors might choose to make. On
the contrary court an investigation,
and shall be happy to prove my inno-
cenee OF any corrupt practices before any
on1cer that you or the secretary may des-
ignate. Very respectfully,
ITO His Excelleney the President"
ANOTHER GLIMPSE INSIDE.
Baltimore Gazette
We venture to say that when the
chapter of Bristow's retirement from
Grants cabinet comes to be written, it
will be found more disgraceful to the
administration than any other except,
perhaps, the safe burglary. The letter
Of BristOw resigning his position has not
been made public, and the grounds upon
which he resigned are, therefore, not
known; but there ia every reason to be-
lieve that 1t was because the President
was bent on saving the thieves that
BTistow was bringing to justice, and
that he is bent on peTpetuating the ring
robberies that Bistow was trying to put
a stop to. This gains additional proba-
bility from the fact that the most eff
cient of BristoW's aids in his war upon
the whisky rings has been dismissed
with the most indecent haste, the Presi-
dent not caring any longer to conceal
his hatred of Bristow and all who aided
him in his warfare upon rascality and
rascals. Yaryan was most faithful and
efficient officer, and this was the cause
Of his dism issal. 1t is something worth
having-a letter like this:
'WAsHINGToN CITY, June 20, 1876.
MYDEAR SIR: Among the many per-
sons employed in the treasury depart
ment during my term of service whose
and ability have been no.
.iceable, none has rendered more eff.
,ient service than yourself The duties |
which you have been called upon to |
perform have been peculiarly difficult |
Ind delicate. The very nature of your |
iuties has, of q necessity, provoked an
agonism, and invited the hostility of |
hose against whom you were obliged to
lecide; but you have met the RESPONSE |
,ilitIes of your position with coursgs and |
such as to challenge my
hearty admiration and approval. / beg
Tou to accept my thanks for the great |
eryice you have rendered, and my best
wishes for your prosperity and happi-
less. Very truly, yours
Mr.. II. 7. Yaryan, internal revenue bureau"
Mr.. BristoW doubtless expressed bit
or truth when he said, "The very
'ature of your duties has. of necessity,
'rovoked antagonism and invited the
hostility of those against whom you
we're obliged to decide" In that Bris-
ow has written his own case. He fought
hievAs, and thus became Grants foe.
But Yarysn was accused of "malicious-
y" prosecuting the whisky thieves
he President sent for him and accused
Iim Of this. Yaryan replied: "Mr.
PRESIDENT, name my accusers, and will
ell you the secret Of their opposition to
ne. If it is Sepator Sargent, it is be-
ause I have fought most earnestly to
'reak up the whisky ring fostered by
i'm in the Pacific slope. Is it Senator
Iogan? 1 can give you the political
Of his supporters and the
ess of reasons why they hate me. Is it
ithsr OF these?" asked Yaryan. The
PRESIDENT made no reply. The President
oes not want to know the story Of the
Obberies of Sargent or Logan. He
Vishes them to be protected; and he
gishes to punish those who seek to ex-
ose their iniquities and bring them to
lstice.
