Unwilling that the Institution shall be the least embarrassed for the want 'of the necessary funds for its support and successful management, we re spectfully propose that the legality of the two Boards be submitted to legal adjudication at an early day ; and to that end, the Board of which I have the honor to be President," respectfully propose to meet your Board in consul tation, er through committees from 'each, to make the necessary arrange ment for an early Judicial decision". - Until the matter is legally settled, we would respectfully state, that all money coming into our hands, on ac count of the Institution, will be ex pended for its support, upon proper application, and if any- inconvenience results to the Institution Tor the want of funds for its support, no blame can be attached to us. Very respectfully, J. N. Bunting, President, of the Board of Trustees. Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind. Raleigh, !March 19th, 1872. J. N. BUNTING, Esq. Dear Sir: Yours of the 18th inst., claiming to be the only legal appoint ed Board of Trustees of the-North Car olina Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind; and having ap plied for, and received a portion of the money appropriated by the General Assembly for the support of said Insti tution ; and that you are ready to dis burse said funds for the support of the Institution, upon the application of the proper omcers thereof; and as Pres ident of said Board, proposes a consul tation through a committee to make the necessary arrangements for an early Judicial decision, until the matter is legally settled,? is to hand. I am instructed by the Board of Trustees who hold their appointment by an act of the Legislature ; and are now in possession of the Institution, to say to you, that they do not recognize the Board of Commissioners appointed by Gov. Caldwell as holding any legal claim to the position which they as sume; and that they cannot hold any, official communication with you. If you have been legally recognized, as you state, by the heads of the depart ments, and they have paid you a part of the money appropriated by the Leg islature for the support or tne mstitu-, tion. it will be for them to account for their acts in so doinsr. The law ex pressly says that the money paid to the Board of Trustees, the Trustees, and if you have money belonging to us, yon shall be We are received can pay the same over to our Treasurer, Ileartt, Esq. We have Deen informed by our At "tornevs. that you have no right to this money, and that "you as well as the Governor of the State are afraid to con suit the Attorney General, the const! tutional adviser of the Governor, . be cause it is well understood that his opinion is adverse to your claim. Un der these circumstances, we must de cline to recofirnize you in any manner. As for making up a case to be Judi cially determined, that is for the Gov ernor to do. and not for the Board of Trustees, if he believes the present Board illegal, he can take tho proper steps for a Judicial investigation. The Board of Trustees will continue to dis charge the duties confided to them by the General Assembly until legally re moved, leaving: the responsibility for witkholdinsr the funds for the support of the Institution, in the hands of those who assume the right to retain them. If any inconvenience results to the In stitution from the want of funds for its support, the only blame that can attach to you, will bo the blame which neces sarily attaches to those who divert from a public charity the funds appropriated for its support. r Yours very respectfully, W. H. McKee, President, of the Board of Trustees. March 20, 1872. Dr. W. II. McKee, Raleigh, itf, C. Dear Sir : Yours of yesterdays date has been received, and contents noted. Inasmuch as you decline to hold any official communication with us, I would not again, as President of the Board of m a r A 1 Vju It T . : J-Tusiees oi uie xonii varumm -institution for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind, address you, but for the pur pose of correcting two or three errors into which you, as well as your counsel have fallen. In your letter, and in the published epiniou of your counsel, we are denominated Commissioners. We beg to inform you that we are commis sioned as Irustees of the North Carolina Institution for the leqf and Dumb and the Blind, by His Excellency, Gov. Caldwell. You charge in your letter that our Board are afraid to consult counsel. Such is not the case; but we prefer to consult counsel of our own choosing, and not that which has been so graciously selected for us. It is believed, and virtually admit ted by you, that your Board are afraid of a Judicial dicision on the question. If not, why decline to join with us in having the matter brought before the Courts ? Have your learned coun sel advised you on this question j also, and tgjd you not to do it, as theyj well know what the result would be? The Board of which -I haveihe honor to be President, are ready and anxious to have this whole question adjusted at an early day, and with that end in view, our former letter was addressed to you. We regret to say that it was not received with that spirit of concil iation with which it was written, but that your Board seem more eager to make capital for partizan purposes, than to meet the issue in that spirit which should characterize thoso who profess such devotion to the State char ity which they now hold control of. va rlo not understand what vou (mean by "diverting from a public charity the funds appropriated for its support." V have tendered the funds in our nossession to the support of thellnsti tution : and repeat, that no funds com- Incr into our hands will be withheld from its support, but will be disbursed upon proper application. i If, however, it is the settled purpose of the gentlemen you represent, not to treat us with that courtesy which one body of gentlemen would expect from another under such circumstances, we are willinsr for the public to form its own opinion as to where blame $hould properly attach ; and if inconvenience results, we will have the consciousness of knowing that we have clone a could be expected of us, for a fa honest Judicial solution of the question. Yours respectfully. I that r and whole J. Ni Bunting, .President, of the Board of Trustees. CORRESRONDENCj E. The Editor must not bp understood ai endors ing the sentiments of Lis correspondents. Communications on all subjects are Solicited, which will be given to the readers of tni Eba as containing the views and sentiments of the writers. I ' For the Carolinl Era. Who is Responsible for Ihej Mur der in the Peniteniiarj ? Mr.Editor: The Penitentiary mud dle is the great topic of conversation not onlv on the streets of Raleigh but throughout the State, and there is cause fnr it. Who is responsible for the blood of Willis Heartsrield? The Democratic organ says theGover nor is responsible, but if the unbiased and unprejudiced people will read The Sentinel and the evidence taken before the Legislative Committee, every hon est man in the State will be convinced that Moses A. Bledsoe and his Board of Directors are responsible for the Pen itentiary murder. Look at the facts sworn to before that Committee. Head the evidence of Sum mey, Payne, and Edmondson, cdnvicts. Then read the evidence of Johnson, Mathews, Utley, Norwood, Whitlock, Coleman, and other gentlemen .of as good standing as any member; of the Board for truthfulness, and what is their, testimony? Why they develope the fact that the convicts were starved to such a degree that they were scarcely able to walk much less work! The management of the Penitentiary dur ing the months of June, July, August, and September, 1S71, would hare done credit to Andersonville or Salisbury. It is in evidence that the convicts were so nearly starved that they eat garbage, deceased hog, cats, rats, in a vord,'ary thing to appease the cravings of hunger. Is there a man in the State who has suffered the agonies of hunger day after day, week after week, who would not prefer death to being penned up and starved day after day, and week after week? . . j Again: who is responsible for the murder committed in the Penitentiary last week? Read The Sentinel and you will sea who is responsible for the mur der of Willis Ileartsfield. j That paper of the 18th inst., fcays:- " We learn that the convicts of the Penitentiary are now upon half fations, and all work is suspended in conse auenee thereof. We will soonl hear a howl from the Penitentiary." I - Hie Sentinel is correct. . The death howl of Ileartsfield was heard through the starvation policy of the Bledsoe di rectors. - I The issue of the 19th inst., says: Three hundred and eighty human beings shut up in the , Penitentiary on half rations." The issue of the 20th inst., says: 44 These felons are shut up to prevent an uprising upon forty men who guard them. If they are not lea Deiore tney starve, the convicts will attempt to murder the cruard. In self defence the miard will shoot down the prisoners." The Sentinel of the 20th is the most remarkable paper that has been issued since the Bledsoe board have had ille- cral possession of the Penitentiary. Read what thejimmaculate Mose? says: If you will not hear us, Governor at your omce, you must hear us tnrougn the Press." This is the first time that the Press or the public have been able to eretan item outside of that stockade, although information as to the manage ment of the Penitentiary was called for time and again. ; , I Now, what does Moses say : j "All work on the Penitentiary is suspended. The convicts are idle. Fifty four are in the hospital and sick cells. Our supplies will soon be exhausted and the onvicts are on short rations." The Sentinel of the -21st inst., says : "It will not do for this community to sit with folded arms and allow Uov Caldwell either to starve or set at liber ty three hundred convicted felons now in the Penitentiary. The-convicts are Inclose confinement, lest they "should rise up and slaeir keepers before the nour oi cuneer ana starvation arrives. They are on short rations as the Gov ernor is informed." I ' Now read what The Sentinel of the 22d says and make the former tally with the reports of lleartsneld's murder. ItMnust be borne in mind that all these articles go out to the hospital and are read by the convicts. They are notified by the Press that they are to be starved asrain as they were for four or six months last year, when The hoard had plentv of money and provisions ! If these convicted men believed what they saw in The Sentinel and from the pen of Moses A. Bledsoe, that they were to be shut up in ' their cells and starved to death", is there a man in this or any other civilized country, when death by starvation stares him in the face, would not prefer the bullet? Not one. i After the murder or neartsneid in his cell, Bledsoe and hi3 crowd ran to The Sentmel omce and requested that paper to take back all ! that had been said about starvation, which was very graciously done as follows : tt The prisoners had not sunereajor frwl ih hnard fleet n iff ft dliDOSltlon OH the part of the Governor to yield, and thinking they would soon havesup- Elies of money orderea iuu rations to e given them."i u.:j - -d'f ' Now. from the 18th inst.. to the time of Heartsfleld's murder, TheSentinel and Moses A." Bledsoe 4 said the , prisoners wprA inkpid nn and on shorvrauons. Meses may say to Heartsfleld's ghostr "shake not thy gory locks at me, thou cans't not say I did it," but the com munity and the truthiui iress win noiu Moses and The Sentinel responsible for the murder of Ileartsfield. . - r , . : Raleigh.
