A STATE CLAIM,

To the editor Of the Atcrandria Gazette;
Dear Sir: My attention has been called 10
the editorial in the Richmond Dispatch oil
the 9Th of March, 1856, under The heading
That Money"
7 assume that what that editorial relates
as to the action Ex-Governor Plcrpoint in dis
tributiug the $4l ,G57 of Virginia's money
must be correct, as it is in quotation marks.
| also assume that the Dispatch would at all
times like to sec Virginia get all the money
Justly due her. AS part Of that editorial
seems to carry with it the assumption, or
existence of certain facts, Of which, in my
official character as the special agent of Fir-
cinia. am ignorant, am suro the Dispatch
must be qualified to answer few questions
to enlighten me and others Of its readers.
The editorial referred to makes Governor
Pierpoint say that he appointed three true
and trusted commissioners to receive aud re-
CENT for the money" from the United States
Under what act of the Assembly of Virginia
did Governor Picrpont get his authority to
appoint said three commissioners What
was the date Of their appointment? Did
said three commissioners receive and re-
ceipt for the money" from the United States:
Did said three commissioners, after receiv.
ing said money, if they did so received it, pay
il into the Treasury OF the State OF Virginia
and if so when or did they pay it into the
hands of Governor Pierpoint?
The editorial also makes Gov. Plerpoint
say: "When | went TO Richmond, iii 1860,
it was represented to me him by The su.
perntendents of the Lunatic Asylum, and
Deaf and Blind Institute, at Stanton, that
the inmates were without food and clothing
The money ,lru'rA from The United STATES
Treasury was the fund from which ! fed,
clothed, and furnished medicine to the un-
fortunates who were confined in the asy-
lums, and they were so supplied from jane,
1865, till January. 1866" Now, rs matter
of fact, this S41 ,G57 was drawn from the I.
S. Treasury on August 2, 1861, by one agent
named James w. Paxton. Where was that
money from August 3, 1861, until June,
1868, when Gov. Pierpoint commenced to
pay it out, as he says he did, in the support
Of the asyiums mentioned? Under what
act OF Assembly of Virginia did Gov. Pier.
point assume the authority to take the mon
ey of Virginia and pay it out in the manner
mentioned?
! am informed officially, from the proper
authority at Richmond, that diliGent search
has failed to show that one dollar Of the
said $4l ,Gj7 ever reached the Treasury Of
tho State of Virginia. Respectfully
JOHN J. MORAN,
Special Agent Of Virginia
