I possess the ti-atiiiiony of other persons who were
present, and heard Governor Schley give me the
.-mlliority questioned, and heard him give to the oth
er nffieeri* lendezvmued at MitledgeviMe a similar
authority; hut I f.irln-.nr to offer il, nnd will leave
you with ili *t which is now before you to adjudicate
t ie question of veracity, which hi* Excellency hua
thought proper to provoke. I have but one request
to add, tlmt when those who feel honored iu the Vo-
cation, in seeking to blast my character upon the
► •aN-ment* ol Governor Schley, arc engaged in their
dirty work, tlwy will do me tl.e sheer justice to read
to those with whom they coiiumiiiie.attf, the evidence
I have here presented. Cun I he asking of an hon
orable man too miirli, vv lien I ask him in this matter
to tell the vvhoic truth mid nothing hut the truth ? It'
they feel that the geutlemeii upon whose evidence I
hive relied are unirorthjf of4 ledii.tliey owe it to you
and his Excellency, to present along'with their tes
timony the evidence of their discredit.
While upon this subject, it i* proper that I should
present to you it* entire history, inasmuch n* the
subsequent events have diuwiidowii the vengeance
of his Excellency upon me, and prompted him t.»
the unworthy task of destroying my characte r as iv
p iitleiiiiiu.lo shield bis own conduct from reproach.
During tin* last session of the legislature, tlie House
«»f Representatives passed the following resolution
in reference to the debts contracted hy myself and
others upon the authority of the Governor*:
\\ In r*-ns, in tin* recent Seminole campaign, va
rious article* of subsistence and tluihing were pur-
( li.ncil by tin- officer*commanding tin- companies, n
portion of winch bn? been paid by the Governor,
uud tlie balance remain* unpaid for want of funds
and other cause*. lUtolnd, Tliut n committee bo
appointed to comitler nil such account*, ami to re
port to this Home sucli relief ns may he just nnd
proper, and that they have, h ave to report bv bill or
otherwise.” Hie Journals II. of IL. page Jtj.i.
The accounts contracted by myselfmnl oilier offi
cer*, were prevented before ibis committee, and af
ter a due examination of them, a report waa made
by the committee, containing a resolution for their
payment. In the meantime, n hill vvus progressing
in the same House for the payment of Volunteer*
iu the Creek campaign; thi* wn* referred to tv se
lect committee for revision. Thi* committee, for
the purpose of economising time and labor, ronsoli-
.1 nod t ie object* of the bill .-did resolution, into one
lull, and it passed through Ix.tli brandies of the Eeg-
inlatui'e. encountering more opposition from the Ex
ecutive than any where else.—The hill professed to
b»* “nt. .; t to ptovnie nu ihc payment ot Volume*.*
in thi* .Mate, iii certain cnsei*. for services, loss nml
e.xjiendituies during the Inti* Creek and Seminole
rainpni^n*. nnd to point out the manner of doing
th*- same. ' That net contained the follow ing pro-
vi-ion: See nets |i?:ki, p. 22, m-c. 5. “That his
Excellency the Governor !>«• and he is hereby requi
red to pay all accounts for subsistence, forage, am-
munition, < i.oriuxi. tents, camp equipage, rooking
utensil*, and medicine and hospital stores, transpor
tation, and all necessary expenses inclined in filling
up (he public anus, winch may have hern contract

the same, either of the Creek or Seminole cam
paigns. or in tl.e Ciierol.re comities of thi* Slate,
either before or r.lier thev had been mustered into
tl.e nervine of the Foiled States; provided such pay
ment has not l.crn made by ihc Fulled States; pro
vided hiExcelit ncy shall i.o satisfied they had been
pure ha-M-d in good faith.” Another section pro
vides. 44 that ail accounts under tin; act shall be au
dited hy the Comptroller General, who, upon evi
dence of their meonaUtnrsf, under a liberal con
struction of the art, shall rcronimrud the same to he
paid In tin- Governor, who shall thereupon draw his
warrant upon the Treasury for the same.”
Frider the provision* of'this net. I expected to bo
relieved from a liability forced upon me by his Ex
cellency, and nrenritiiigJy presented iny debt* to tho
nipt.idler Geneial (or settlement. In tlmt office
Hound every just disposition to enforce the provi
sion* of tl.e law. lie was satisfied of the rnisouu-
hUntss of my expenditure, and was willing to audit
inv accounts; hot a* the Governor hnd concurrent
action with him. in reference to thn " good faith" in
which tin- purchases were t*» he made, in respect
Im-the opinions winch might be entertr.u.ed by the
Executive, as to tlie character of claim* to be 'paid,
the settlement was fur the present deferred. Some
short time after, I again called upon the Cnmpirwl-
b-r General. 1 *t»!l (ound that the interference of
tl.e Governor prevented a settlement. I then called
upon I.i? Excellency, w ho I found unwilling to do
any thing whatever ; hi; was not satisfied to judge
of tho “ good faith" hut must judge of the *■ reasona
bleness ' ol the purchase* likewise.” He iii that
seemed to have hut one x icw about the w hole mat
ter, and that was, to make those who had purchased
upon i.i* nuthciitv, clothing, Ae.. for the tumpa,
pay the debts, out ol their own funds. He promis
ed me, however, to withdraw all further opposition,
audio p.-rmit (he Comptroller General to determinu
upon the character of the accounts.
I I.i* promise wn* made to me, but it wn* never
kept For in n short time after, still persisting in
Ins opposition, the Comptroller General declined
.-inditing any ot tin- accounts, in respect for hi* npiu-
i«»n«, and published a notice of I.:* determination,
j.rmniMug n reference of the subject to the next I^g-
islatnrc.
In consequence of the interference of Gov. Schley,
hv the assniiiptioii of powers not l.is mvn, hy Ins
disobedience of the law in thn second place, and hi*
unredeemed promises io the first place, the amount
of purchases of clothing and other necessaries for
mv company, it. most part authorized by Iiitn, uud
all approved hy him. have fallen upon me n*nn in-
dividual, and I have already paid near $l(l(Hnr
those supplies for the soldiers under my command ;
clothing, iV r.. which were iudispi nsoldy nm usury
for their lualthami roareuuart; clothing which wn*
purchase J l»v hi? express authority, and which would
never have been purchased by me, but for the au
thority given hy him; clothing who It he promised
»q pay for, which the Legislature, bv it* acts, with
l.is approval, subsequently required Iiitn to pay for,
I tit w hich, in violation of all good faith, and ... the
very l ien i,ft?!,e law, he persist* iu refusing to pay
one dollar for.
And now when I complain of this injustice, theso
complaints are sought to !••* .stilled bv degrading my
character ti.mngh tin* inffnem c of hi* h.gfi official
station. And this is doin' Io shield l.is own unjust
nml illegal conduct from reproach. Ills own net
tua hi me the purchaser of the clothing; his own act,
hy tlie im.de of pay t. lent pointed out hy him. placed
no* inn situation to become panmnallv liable there
for; Ids own act, in refusing to pay the drafts, made
tne most iit.jii-tlv assume that liability ; his own net,

to relieve me from that iinlnl.lv: nnd vet hi* own
