A Sensation Question Pending — Gen, M'Kin
strg’s Vindication—Hough Handling 'of dis

the Army Supplies are let out — 3l. C.’s Im

St. Louis, Juno 16, 1862.
A sensation for tho West is pending. Qon.
M’Kihstry Ims forwarded to Washington a
letter addressed to Gen. M. 0. Meigs, Quar
termaster General, in vindication of himself
from tho attacks .and, aspersions of the Van
Wyok Committee—the Holt-Camphell-and-
Davia-War-Claim Commission——and public
journals and Congressional assailants in gen
eral. At a proper time, I have no doubt, you
■will publish tho whole of tho author’s text, if
not mostof the appendix, containing 92 let
ters, affidavits, dispatches, etc., forming the
testimony on which Qon. M’Kinstry bases his
.defense.- It is not my intention, therefore, to
attempt anything like a synopsis of this letter
which is now before mo in pamphlet form,
hut merely to notice a few points which pos
sess a national interest.
Gen. M’Kiustry.charges',in the first place, that
notwithstanding tho long period that has
elapsed since the assaults upon him com
menced he lms never been allowed a trial or
a court of inquiry, or anything like a fair
chance to vindicate himself, llis friends as
sert that ho never would haye written this
vindication if he could have had . a military
or civil trial, for the frauds indirectly impu
ted to him by his enemies, liut, passing this
hy,- the first thing that must strike.the reader
of his vindication is the perfect control of the
Quartermaster’s office (at a critical period,
.too, of the country’s existence,) exercised by
politicians and office-holders, as well as the,
subordinate position occupied' by that officer
in the presence of a Cohimanding-Gcrier.al.-r-
Ilis hands were tied excepting to tho mo.it
common place things. Where anything big
was to'be given, there was a superior power
behind the throne “ greater than the throne
itself,!’ ready to jump upon him- and carry it
off. I give a few instances to illustrate this
statement r
Tito Van Wyck and IXolt-Davis and Camp
bell Committee have urged with great stress
the extravagant manner of purcashing sup
plies without advertisement, and allusion is
made to corrupt contracts with “onoLamb”
of Springfield, 111. This Mr. Lamb was iu%
troduced to M’Kinstry by the following let
ter; ’
Washington, September 10, 1801;
J. M’KiNStrv, Brigadier General, and Quar
tcrmasicr, SI. Louis.
Permit me to introduce James L. Lamb,
Csq., of Springfield, Illinois.
I have known Mr. Lamb for a great many
years,. His reputation for integrity and'abil
ity to,carry out his engagements are both un
questioned, and I shall bo pleased, if consis
tent with the public good, that you will make
purchases of him of any army ,supplies need
ed in your Department.
. Your obedient servant,
Accompanying this was a letter from Sec
retary Cameron indorsing Mr. Lamb ns a
personal friend of the President, and adding:
" If you can do anything for Mr. Lamb, in
purchasing supplies you will oblige, provided
lie will make his prices suityou. M’Kinstry,
it seems, did not feel at liberty to ignore such
credentials..
M’Kinstry makes a strong point against
Mr. Hugh Campbell, one of the Claims
Commission, by showing that- while a mem
ber of the firm of Robert Campbell & Co., of
St. Louis, he allowed the claims of that firni
to be audited at the full amounts, while other
parties for the same supplies were compelled
to suffer a deduction. Another instance of
Mr. Campbell’s fairness may be found in the
deduction of Child, Pratt & Fox’s bills for
blankets from $8 to $4 33J per pair. The
amusing feature of 4his transaction is that
the identical blankets were purchased from
Mr. Campbell’s own store at an average of
36 66J per pair. Mr. Campbell as Commis
sioner reflects' on his own honesty as
man 1
The correspondence attached to this vindi
cation is highly interesting. The.name of
Frank P Blair, jr., figures conspicuously in
it. Here is one of Blair’s letters;
“Dear Major;. I wish you to give Jim
Neal a'fair chance. He is a personal friend
of mine and a sound Union man. By employ;}
ing him you will confer a great favor.
Your friend,
FRANK P. BLAIR, jr.,
” 001., Ist Reg. Mo. Vols.”
As the. Congressional Investigation Com
mittee and, the War Claims. Commission put
down “ Jim Neal” as a great rascal; this re
commendation is rather heavy, on the St.
Louis Representative. Ho figures in other
letters to M’Kinstry. Ho says. his friend
Jho. 11. Bowen “ is all right,” and wants M’-
Kinstry (in another note) to buy wagons from
Fspenchoid & Kearn Gormans, as Murphy &
Yerdin are Secessionists. Ho also wants a
contract for Alex. Peterson to buy horses, as
“hois a good friend of mine.” He asks that
Col. Bogy, member of the State Convention,
may have a contract for horses. But fur the
dictatorial, the following is the best:
General : -Mr. B. Gishard .is the party' of
whom X spoke to you, and of whom I sent
you a. message by Charley Elleard. lie wants
to furnish some horses for■ the Government. —
See that he is attended to.
, Yours, &e„ FRANK P. BLAIR, jr.
M’Kinstry, in the text, says Col. Blair sent
more applicants to him than any other ten
men in the country.
Perhaps members of Congress may remem
ber a law which prohibits any of their mem
bers from participating in any Government
contract. If so, here is a case which they
may think demands attention. . Hero is a let
ter from Mr. James S. Hollins :
Planters’ House, Sept. 17, 1801
Gen. J. M’Kinstry — U ar Sir; I have
just received a telegraphic dispatch that I had
230 mules in Jefferson city, reiuly for inspec
tion.
I would bo much obliged to you if you
■would give mo an order to your inspectors au
thorizing one of them to go up, by to-morrow
morning’s train, and attend to the business.-
If I had the order I will engage to see the in
spectors to-night, or very early in the morn
ing, and in time for the train. Allow mo to
suggest that if your present inspectors arcso
engaged that- their services arc needed here.
I have ho doubt Mr. Abrams, the white beard
ed gontleipan, who has been in your service,
would go up, and the order might bo directed
to him, and in which ease I will see him. If
I should not see you in person, I will call
again at your residence to-night, when I can
got the order. lam thus explie.il because I de
sire to meet promptly my engagements with the
Government through Mr. Haskell. I am, very
respectfully,, your obedient servant,
JAMES S. ROLLINS!
. . ' ,avo B’wjn you a few points of the
jnsido workings °t contractors and politicians,
from Gen. M'Kinstvy’B books. The moral to
be derived from this expose is—Gen. M’lCin
stry paid high prices because bo was ordered
to favor the favorites of superiors, and because
there was no time, as tho Pressdent said when I
swimming a torrent to swap horses. Tina
vindication contains a letter from Gon. Fre
mont, of recent date exonerating Gon. M’Kin
stry from any responsibility connected with
tho Board contract for -the St. Louis fortifica
tions. ■
O-If pride, arrogance, hypocrisy, are tho
expected insurers of a safe and happy jour
ney’into the world to come, tremble for tho
millions that yrill bo doomed tohis disappoint
ment.
