MtDias S:a: I was surprised to learn last evening thst I had been assailed in the House of Representatives yesterday, for a wrong alleged to have been committed by me, in regard to a youth named Collins, who is a clerk in the Pension of fice. As you were kind enough to contribute your aid in my defence, and as you aro my linnio diate representative, I beg leave to furnish you with a statement of the facts In the case, In the hoiie that you may be able to find a suitable op portunity to present them to (be House and the country. In the month of April 1852, Mr. Collins, a clerk in tbe Pension office, died suddenly, leaving a idow and a number of children, and I was in formed, in a state of great destitution. On the day of bis death, and while his corpse atlll lay in his house, the Rev, F. 8. Evans, who had been ministering to his wants during bis illness, came to tbe Department, and, with great feeling, rep resented tbe distressed condition of the family and begged me to appoint a son of. the deceased clerk to fill his father's, place. He represented him to be a boy about fifteen years of age, and candidly admitted that he was not competent to fill the position without assistance. But be in formed me that, to obviato the difficulty, he witl the consent of the family of Mr, Collins, he bad spoken to Mr. Kane, an able and experienced clerk, who was a friend of the late Mr. Collins and that be had Consented to exercise a fatherly supervision over tne iKy to instruct mm in his duties and to perform such parts of them as the boy could not discharge and that it wax understood mat Mr. Kane, in 'consideration of these service, was to receive a suitable com liensatlon out of the salary of the boy. Being thus assured that the public interests would not suffer by the arrangement, I agreed to appoint tbo boy tn bis father's office. In regard to the fur her details I knew nothing, as the partiex were all strangers to me, and up to the pn sent hour I do not know that I have ever seen one of them. I heard no complaint from any quarter and bad flattered myself that I hud done aconi mendnbleact in saving a family from am. an putting a meritorious boy in the jtatli of proim lion. But in the month of September la.M C Gentry called at the Department and made koui complatHt on the subject to tbo chief clerk tvl addressed a letter to the Coininissiunr of Pen Mons asking an explanation of tbo facts. On the 1st day of October lust I encli wd a copy f tho report of the CominMotier of P nsi.m t Col. Gentry, with a letter of my own ex;!aiiatory of the facts of the case, which I regret that Co'. 0ntry did not think proper to read to the llou.-e. I now send you a cpy of it. Mr. Gentry ba falleu luto several errors of fact. Tbe boy was not H'Hvsented to 'me as sixteen years of age, bnt about fifteen, and, so far from being a competent clerk, be could not 'perform tbe most simple duties of the station without aid. I had nothing to do with the negotiation of the arrangement, and certainly did nothing to require that it should be entered into. It was a family arrangement, voluntarily agreed upon by the par ties interested, before I waa consulted. I pie sume I should have known nothing about It but for the fact that it was necessary to giro me soma satisfactory res son for appointing a boy of such tender years, and who was acknowledged not to be competent, without aid, to discharge . tbe du ties of tbe office. 1 Without sorao such satisfactory assurance as waa afforded by the engagement of Mr Kane, I certainly would not have appointed young Collins for J wonld not hare felt justified in following the dictates of bnmanity at the expense of the pub lic service. When Col. Gentry called on me offi cially to annul this prirato contract between these parties I declined to do so. The family bad pro cured the appointment of yonng Collins in conse quence of tbe arrangement with Mr. Kano, and I thought that they had no right to call on me to aid them In repudiating their contract.. Kane had been tbelr benefactor. Through bis aid the fami ly had obtalood the moans of support, and if tbey begrudged the compensation which they had themselves agreed to allow him for bla assistance and Instruction to the boy, I did not feel that Jt waa proper for me to unite in carrying out such a purpose.'

Oxygooated Bitters Is fast superseding tho use of Quinine, In cas.es of Frer and Ague, and epi demic visitations, It combines all the tonic vlr turea af Quiufne, assists digestion, creates appe tite, strengthens the system, and, when taken In doses of one or two tcaapoooftils dally, is the most efficacious antidote against contagions in fection and malaria. The sterling qualities of tnta raiganie meaictne only require to be known to be appreciated. Tbe statement of Professor Hayes, M. D., a distinguished analytical chemist, and Assayer lo tho State of Massachusetts, should be sufficient to satisfy anr nhrsician that Oxveen- ated Bitters comprises a skillful combination of medical properties, without the admixture of any deleterious component. We think, that In a very abort lime no one will ronture to travel without a supply of this valnablo Tonic. " i -'''.Itf WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENTS BACON P?r lb. ! Hams, N.
