General Harb1son's Accounts.
In the New York Sem of Saturday there
was letter, ostensibly from New Haven,
which gave distorted account of an occur
renee connected with the administration of
the affairs of the Connecticut Quartermaster
Generals department. The following are
the ''bottom facts" of the case, gathered in
an interview with Governor Bigelow:
Some time in the month of December,
1881, Assistant Acknowledgement Fox called
Governor Bigelow's attention to the fact that
there was something in the Quartermaster
Generals Office which ought to be looked
after. At the same time Governor Bigelow
received message from Lieutenant Governor
Buckley asking him to come to Hartford.
Governor Bigelow went to Hartford, having
requested General HARRISON to meet him at
the Arsenal. He called on General Bulke-
| ley, who informed him that there was a diff
ference of about So 900 between the accounts
| in the Quartermaster- Generals Office and the
| accounts in the Quartermaster Generals
| bank book. Governor Blgelow went to the
Arsenal and called for the books. They
| we're produced and were found to be all
| straight. He then said to General HARRISON
"Where is your bank book ?" General Har-
! bison replied: SIT is at my store" Cover
| nor Bigelow said 81 want to see it." Cen
| eral HARRISON went after the book and was
gone some time. Governor Bigelow waited
l uVh and han Unof To linn Nhav, ho
returned to the Arsenal General HARRISON
| was there with his bank book, and the figures
| in it corresponded with those in the accounts
| of the Quartermaster- Generals Office. But
| the last entry in the book, which was in the
| nelghborhood of s., 600, had bsen made that
| day. General HARRISON admitted that he had
not done right, but he said there had not
| been a single day when the State any
risk of losing cent. He further declared
| that HARRISON Brothers checks had been in
| the bank book for the amount that he had
| used of the money of the State.
| After the accounts had been Strengthened
| out Governor Bigelow and Lieutenant-Gov
ernor Buckley talked the matter over. Gen
eral Buckley favored the prompt removal of
| General HARRISON, but Governor Bigelow and
others with whom he consulted thought that
| as the State had lost nothing it would be
| harsh and unnecessary to publicly disgrace
General HARRISON. Accordingly he wa al
| lowed to remain in Office. Governor Bige-
low, Adsutant General Harmon and Colonel
Fox set to work to devise some plan that
| would make any more such occurrences i'm
possible, and the result was the following
sectlon ten chapter four, title ten of the general
statutes (page 11sl is hereby amended by adding
thereto the following Requistion being made by
the officer the comptroller for the sums required
which reauston hall be approved for or the Aaju
| master General, Commisssry General and Paymaster
file his vouchers with the comptroller on or before
the 2sth day Of February the SGT day Of May the
| each year." Approved April &c, 1882.
These are the facts. The turn which the
writer in the Sun attempts to give the matter
is preposterous, as everyone at all acquaint
ed with politics in this State knows.
