INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. p. 1855.
Hon. Charles L. Jewett. Speaker of the House:
DEAR sIR-on the 22d inst, addressed the fol-
lowing communication:
Hon Samuel Williams Chairman House Com
mittee on Benevolent Institutions:
DEAR SIR-Referring 70 the conversation be-
tween us, to-dsy. and your suggestion thai
resign my Office of trustee OF the soldiers Or
Children. and that il / would do 50 yOnr com
mifiee would report and have adopted reS0lu-
E1OE OF JWDItneHE 10 myself, nave this 10 SAY.
SIN eithe unit 10 hold the office. or the charges
TO which you allude are false If they are true
the great Democratic party OF this State can act
afford TO allow me 10 resign my trust with COM
plimeU tary resolution stifylng that have well
s7d faithfully performed my duties. II / am
under serious charges before your committee, as
you as ert, IL is your duty TO make the most
searching inquiry as 10 the truth. This duty you
owe 70 your oaihs, 10 the whole people of the
STATE, 10 the solcien' orphans, and to myself and
family
Knowing that you have received your inspira
ton from superintendent White, 1 deem it proper
70 inform you that tor months patt have de-
mended his dismissal upon what deemed more
than sufficient reasons-reasons which can pre-
sent to your committee whenever they are pre-
pared 10 go into the matter. / desired to open
these questions last fall in connection with the
charges against myself, ana would have forced the
sonal friend OF Senator Voorhees, asked that the
step De not q ken in the midst of the canvass.
But did demand an investigation in my own
case. b7 The post OF the Grand Army, OF which
Was member and though the post did MOI act

yesigaiion. First, IL will determine whether /
am guilty or not. Second, IL will disclose the
most brutal and immoral practices upon the sol
dierS' orphans and the unfortunate feeble minded
children, of which M. White has had full knowl-
edge. and in certaiu cases has been q party to-
and also the immoral practices OF his two sons

Indiana are entitled TO know al about l ask

action, or intended action, OF the committee that
/ may be present TO not only presentmy own case,
but also such evidence as have to offer regarding
tie general conduct of the two institutions.
have no c0Hcealments in this matter and there
should be none, nor do ask anything but justice
at the hands of your committee.
Very respectfully, JOHN N. GOAR.
Since the presentation of this letter have re.
NAMED here at considerable expense and great
inconyenienee to my business, but as yet the
Committee on Benevolent Institutions has not
acted. and now l appeal to the House to take
some Definite action upon the letter which sent
to the Chairman OF the committee. j can not
afford TO dance attendance upon the Chairman Of
the committee simply because he desires me TO re-
sign an Office rather than make investiga cation
which he assumes would result in harm TO my
reputation. therefore ask you TO present this
communication TO the House. as l have no other
means of officially communicating with that body.
For the &c asons which are given above ask the
appointment Of special committee to investigate
al the matters set forth in the communication to
Mr.. Williams. Very respectfully,
JOHN NJ. GOAR.
Mr.. Williams. however, denies the receipt
OF any such letter.
