It is due to Gov. Curry to say that he urged
Gen. Drew to comply with the request of tho
committee, und no doubt is entertained but
tlmt if it had been in tho power t.r the Gov
ernor, that the desired information would have
been given.
A resolution, reduced to writing, was then
adopted by I lie committee, nnd furnished Gen.
Drew, or which the lollowiug is n copy :
Hetolvetl, Tlmt Quartermaster Geu. Drew
furnish to the committee on military nffalrs,
under the seTcral Itcnn charged in his account
current from the 30th Nov., 1855, to 25th
Sept., 1857, an ubstnict of disbursements of
nionuvs received bv him rrom the sales or i.ub-
. lic properly, showing to whom, and for what
purpose thu same was disbursed.
To which Gen. Drew made n reply bearing
' datp tho 12th or Jan.. 1859, and which is hero-
with submitted.
j This reply asserts that nn " nlutruet " cnn
not be made by tho Genera! stielt as the reso
lution culls lor, anil tlmt the vouchers sliows
Tor what purpose the moneys were paid, with
other scattering references.
The committee felt it to be their duty to,
nnd on tho Kith Jnmiury they did adopt a res
olution, somewhat dilK.-rc.it from the first, which
was punished Geu. Drew, of which tlic follow
ing is u copy :

It was supposed tlint the resolution just quo
ted would remove all objection or obstacle iu
the way ot obtaining the requisite information,
not only In reference to thu disbursements by
Gen. Drew, but by other officers.
However a reply was received from tho
Quartermaster General, bearing date tho 13th
of January, and which is herewith submitted,
which placed it buyout doubt that it was not
