TOE YANCE FAMILY Ilf OF- FICE. Gov. Yaace Vindicated from the Charge ofKepotlam as Alleged Cqrrent . Misrepresentations Corrected In the Interest of Jus tice. Correspondence of the New York World. Washington, D. C, March 3, 1886. The following statement was teles graphed to the Cincinnati Commer cial Gazette and published in the pa pers about two weeks ago: A Government official having seen something in print about the nepot ism prevailing in the reform Admin istration, has been at pains to prepare a little table showing how much it costs the Government to take care of the Vance family, of North Carolina. The Vance family were loyal during tne war (to the uonieaeracy; ana are now being taken care of in good style by the Government, as the fol lowing table will show: i .v - ' Z. U. Vance, U. b. Senator, salary. $5,000. K. B. Vance, this son. Assistant Commissioner of Patents. $4,500. - U. r. Vance, son,, clerk to the Sen. ator, $2,100. Z. B. Vance, ir.. son. Geological Survey, $600. . ; W. U. Vance, cousin, m the Treas- ,$1,200. hi. vance, cousin, in the rost- office Department, $1,000. ; D. M. Vance, cou8in, in the Army. $1,600, J. Vance, cousin. Mississippi River Commission, f 365. Richard Vance, cousin. Army, $l,t 600. , . H. Vance, cousin, Mississippi River Commission, $1,800. K Vance, cousin. Department of Justice, $1,200. David J. Vance, cousin, internal Revenue, $425. i A. R.: Vance, cousin, Government Printing Office, $600. ! A. ir. Vance, army, $820. j E. Robinson, nephew, page in the Senate, $900. ' Hall, nephew, page i in the HOTSe; $900. - McDonald, cousin,- in the Gov ernment Printing Office, $720. This makes a total of sixteen per sons, and a total salary of $25,320. Somebody ought to introduce a bill for the relief ot the Vance family on the Government. I am neither a "cousin" nor a near relative to Seuator Vance. I am not a member of the Vance family of North Carolina. My acquaintance with him is by no means an intimate one; but i Know mat in so far as me foregoing statement is intended to prove tbat he is a nepotist it does mm a gross wrong. Knowing tms, i tooe occasion on the 22d ult. to address o Mr. Mussey a note setting forth, as, with your leave, I will do below, the inaccuracies into wmcn ne naa oeen led, with the remark that I hoped he would maKe tne odvious correction in bis paper. This note I sent that evening by a trusty .messenger to his office in this city, and am quite sure it reached bis hands Up to this date, however, the correction has not ap peared in the Commercial Gazette. I therefore send it to you, because the substance of the statement quoted appeared in The World on the 23d ult. I hope you will publish at least the gist of this note. f it is true tnat a. vance is a United States Senator and receives a salary of $5,000 per annum, l love the truth and am tempted to linger over this assertion, as it is almost the only resemblance to anything like the ... . J 1 N " . I 1 , truth (except one otner; in tne wnoie statement quoted. But I will hasten on. ) -. R. B. Vance is not Z. B.'s son, but his brother, who was kept ? in Cons eress for twelve vears by the infatu ated people of his district in North Carolina. Perhaps they ought to have known better, and would- have never made such a mistake If tney had only thought to consult other folks who did know better. Presi dent Cleveland put "General Bob" into the Patent Office, where his long exDerience as Chairman of the Patents Committee of the House fitted him for usefulness, i C N. Vance (not C. P.) is the Bens ator's son and private secretary, re ceivine. not $2,190 per annum, out $6 rer diem (as do - each of ; the private . oi a.' j secretaries ui Deuaiurejiuuaug bob sions, which makes his compensation amount to $1,000 !or$l,loo per an num. - ' .- Z. B. Vance: ir.. la noti connected with the Geological Survey, nor has hejbeen, lie was a memoer : oi .uie class that -eraduated; several -years aero from theHaval Academy' ana were leeisiaiea out oi omw uy uou srress. President Arthur' appointed such of these youngsters as' hecould to Dlaces under the government to combensate them for the loss of the positions wcicn tney naa expected to receive, and it fell to the lot of Z. B.. jr., to become a second lieutenant in the army, wnere ue now is, serving out on the Plains somewhere, W. G. Vance is charged as -" a cousin, quartered in the Treasury De Dart menu. . ne - may ds a cousin in tne iorty-secopu uegree, . out vqb chances are he is not. He was born in Massachusetts, was a soldier m thw Union army, is a redshot Repubs lican and was appointed by the Res TMihHPAna to a clerkship in the Now Vnrfc fhistom House several years iv 'T am niiite u re that he haa nerer met csenawr ouw ,. T H. Vance, wno is awo saia 10 oe 'o vnfiin."-'is on toe conirary a ne 1876 ne was 80 goou a nutiuem tuuii hi wan a memoer of the Returning Rnaid-in-Florida. and -upon the ac- nf 'Mr. Haves to ; the Presi dency, he was given a place as labois er in ine oixiu auu.w" a u", uvm which it seems be , nas oeen traD8 ferred to the PostofSce Department. D. M. Vance, who is set down as a cousin in the armv." is a firranrtsnn of JoseDh Vance the "fthamnain farmer" the old Whiff Governor fit Ohio,' who represented the Urbana District in Congress for over twenty years. He was. born m Ohio, and in May, 1861, he enlistea in i the Union army, as did three or four of his brothers, who are all Republicans. He participated in nearly all of the great battles m which the army of the Fatomac engaged, and DerhaDa earned the Maj's. giraps he wears now It is probable that he ia something of a relative of the Senator, as his great grand father emigrated from the Shenandoah Valley in 1783. first to Kentucky and a few years later to Unio ; about the same time the Sen ator's great grand father left the same place and went to North Caro lina. I But the two men (D. M. and Z B ) nevei met, I am satisfied. J Vance is not a cousin. He was born in Pennsylvania, and was ap pointed under Republican auspices (and is doubtless a Republican) from Minnesota to a place in the steamboat inspection service not QiAJw4fc?3i sippi River CommissioSi M-M : Muss 8ey8i veracious -''Qetfrnrent offi cial" has it. He hftJSno sart of acs. quaintance wirhglor -Vance. Richard Vance'waa born in Vance-' burg Ky., served in the Union army during the war, as such a radical that at its close be accepted a com mission in a negro regiment and very soon afterwards was court martialed and suspended one year from rank and pay because he allowed his men to wreck the office of a rebel sympa thising newspaper down in Arkan sas, i Evidently the Senator cannot be held to any responsibility for Richard. H. Vance is of the Tennessee fami ly, which came from the Ohio branch, and is an Assistant Engineer .of the Mississippi Kiver Commission, ap pointed under a Republican Adminis tration. - - ' E. Vance, nut down as a "cousin. Department of Justice, $1,200," is $; 11. Vance, jr.. born in Mississiddi of a branch of the Tennessee stock, and is a United States Commissioner at Malvern, Ark. .His compensation comes from his fees, ahd he doubtless thanks God and takes courage when these amount to $50 a year. . David N. Vance, another "cousin. " charged "Internal Revenue, $425," was born in Ireland,' and lives in Kentucky, where he is a Deputy Cols lector at Carrollton; or was until the Democratic Administration cams in to power, since which time it is rea sonable to assume he has been made to walk the plank. i . "A. a Vance, cousin. Government Printing Office. $600," ia Alice R. Vance, born in and appointed from Indiana, which State sent enough Vances into the Union army to make a regiment. I have an idea that she is the widow or daughter of one of these soldiers, and I know that she is paid 18$ cents an hour for feeding a press. r Nobody knows who A P. Vance," charged to the army at $720 per ans numj is. I said in my note to Mr. Mussey that I had not talked with Senator Vance about the statements I desired him to correct, which was true. The Senator is entirely competent to de fend himself on' all occasions. I have no wish to obtrude my own person ality! unnecessarily, but beg leave to say that l was born in Ohio, have been a Republican ever since I -cut my second teeth (I have the most of tben yet), served during the war in the Union army and expect to die in the faith. I have been in some hard- fought political struggles and have always rejoiced with an exceeding great joy when I got a chance to whack a . Democratic skull ' in fair fight. - But I am not an admirer of a disingenuous mode of warfare, nor do 1 think that it is wise, as a matter of policy, to adopt it. It does seem to me that wnen tne - proof was so plain the correction ought to have been made. - r I think that you will agree with me that Mr. Mussey 's "Government official"- is a liar. I om of opinion that he knew he was lying when he gave the poiuts to Mr. Mussey. He is doubtless the same man who im posed a similar statement- on Mr. Seckendorf, the Tribune correspond ent, some two or three1 months ago. If he is he is an indefatigable Jiar if there is merit in that, I pointed out those errors to Mr. Seckendorf at the time, in an iuterview: but I have not yet seen that ne naa corrected them. . - By proper industry it might be found that there are other Vances in the -Government . employ drawing ealaries with nearness and despatch and rendering more or less service in return. - The family has orancnes in Maine. Connecticut, - Illinois, - Mis souri. Kansas, juouisiana. ueorgia, California, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia, as well as the States above referred to. ana pernaps otner states. But there are a great many members Ul- vug laLUliy wuu cu- uuu uuuoun .. of Senator Vance, nor should he be held responsible for more than two of them who are at present drawing Government salaries, via , nimsau and his son, who is his clerk. ' From all of which you may possi bly conclude that the Vance family is no slouch of a tamuy, ana tnat it is to be regretted that there are not more of its memoers wining to accept public office. I assure you that you would be entirely justified in drawing such an inference. .: The theme is of surpassing interest to. tbe. public doubtless, but 4 will pursue it no further, very truly yours, , WlLSOKf VANCE.

In a country where I nies ana moequitoes are plentiful as they are here, I should think it no less than downright cruelty for people to treat the poor creatures in this shameless manner." My remarks were greeted Iwith a roar oftlaughter, ".Bless your heart,my young friend, the people don't do that: it's the allis gators.
