&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Permit one of the Humblest of your Excellencys Constituents to invite the attention of the Executive to the appointment of some person to fill the Station of prosecuting Attorney 19th Judicial Circuit made vacant by the death of the lamented Lieut Col Thomas H.

If I may presume so to do I would refer or recommend to the notice of your Excellency for that Station George W Neely Esqr of this place.  I believe if Mr Neely should be fortunate enough to be appointed that that Gentleman would not only 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sustain himself well but the appointing power also.  Mr (N) is sound Union man devoted to our good old Flag and to the Government handed down to us by our Revolutionary Fathers, and look upon Secession as (I do myself) as the damest heresy that ever entered the brain of man.  I will add that when at any time the late Col Smith was called away he confided his legal business as states Atty to Mr  Neely which fact of itself shows  the very high estimate in which Mr (N) was held by that gentleman.  If need be any further information or letter of Recommendation can conveniently be obtained touching Said appointment

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Governor.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was detained at Scott Court until yesterday and never have not heard the result of your telegram to the Secy. of War. I have had fears that he would not approve the thing - trusting in you and the Lord for an Early opportunity to do something, (in case Mr. Stanton Jails us) I shall wait with all becoming patience for "something to turn up".
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Most truly

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Governor.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was detained at Scott Court until yesterday and never have not heard the result of your telegram to the Secy. of War. I have had fears that he would not approve the thing - trusting in you and the Lord for an Early opportunity to do something, (in case Mr. Stanton Jails us) I shall wait with all becoming patience for "something to turn up".
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Most truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;L. H. Waters

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear General,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although Col. Cavanaugh has been a long life personal friend of mine, yet I must confess that he turns up inadequate to his post. I am inclined to think is a little deranged, Evidently the Regiment is severely, very severely, suffering under his Administration.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe it absolutely necessary that something should be done immediately. I have felt always so Kindly towards him and still do that it is with great regret I thus write, dictated only by the good of the service, and I would like what I say to be considered confidential. If however you should consider it your duty and for the good of the 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;service to use this communication I shall have to consent.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have very abundant information besides the enclosed copy of letter for this course. The case, I regret to say, is a very palpable one.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir. Your letter is a great one. Just what I expected, all the blame is to rest on me. I suppose all the blame for Gen. Grant's and Gen McClernand's and your own appointment is also to rest on me. The truth is there is no blame on me. I thought the appointment a good one because the Companies wanted and preferred him. You wanted to go into his Regiment. I regret that you and Col. Cavanaugh could not have agreed. If you could have agreed, your influence over him would have prevented the present unfortunate state of affairs.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have written Hallick to make the change you refer to, 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;but I communicate the fact to you in the strictest secrecy, and shall consider that you do me great injustice if you communicate it to any one, for though circumstances render it improper for him to hold the Command longer yet he has many traits of goodness in him, and I think under kind influences would have made a good officer.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear General
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although Col Cavanaugh has been a long life personal friend of mine, yet I must confess that he turns up inadequate to his post.  I am inclined to think he is a little deranged, evidently the Regiment is severely, very severely suffering under his Administration.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe it absolutely necessary that something should be done immediately  I have felt always so kindly towards him &amp;amp; still do that it is with great regret I thus write, dictated only by the good of the service, and I would like what I say to be considered
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;confidential   If however you should consider it your duty &amp;amp; for the good of the service to use this communication I shall have to consent.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have very abundant information besides the enclosed copy of letter for this course. The case I regret to say, is a very palpable one.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Truly Yours

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear General, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please consent that the 11th Missouri Regiment shall be designated as an Illinois Regiment.  It is composed almost exclusively of Illinoisans.  At the start they desired to be accepted into the Illinois service, but our quota was full and I had to refuse them.  Now let Illinois have the credit for her troops and no more.  I have a brother in the ranks of that regiment.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I submit whether under Gen. Order No. 18 (Washington)  I am not bound to consider this an Illinois regiment?  Among other things that order says “Wherever a Regiment is composed of companies from different states it will be considered as belonging to the state from which the greater number of companies was furnished for that regiment.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I introduce my friend Edward Kitchell,
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Anthony Thornton
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chairman of Committee &amp;amp;c.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have recd your communication of March 12th in which you say ("I am informed &amp;amp;c - insert)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In reply I have the honor to say that a letter of a member of Congress was sent to me as early as Feby 17 in which the correspondence you speak of was referred to, but no part of the correspondence was ever submitted to me.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Firmly convinced as I
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;was that the member of the Convention allowed to was a patriotic and loyal citizen, I did not refer the matter to your Committee. I could not consent to give the name of the Honorable member to the committee in the absence of any evidence - and the more especially since for 25 years past I have known him as a personal friend distinguished for his devotion to the country and to the state and for his high bearing as a citizen and a gentleman.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd. Yates,

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sec. of War
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometime in the latter part of December Gen. John Wood Quarter Master Genl of the State of Illinois was in Washington &amp;amp; procured, as he informed me, an order from the War Department on Maj. Hagner at N. York for 1140 carbines for the 6th Illinois Cavalry Regiment.  Maj. Hagner contracted with Gwyn &amp;amp; Campbell of Hamilton, Ohio, for the manufacture of said arms -- It appears now that the only order, which the manufacturers have is that the carbines are to be delivered to me.  I desire you to send me a copy of the order which you made as these carbines, or to give me
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;an order specifying to whom said arms are to be delivered -- If sent to me generally there will be  general squabble among our Regiments for them - for our Regiments are wofully deficient in cavalry arms -- If I am to deliver them to the 6th Regiment as was understood by Gen. Wood please inform em immediately --
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The officer, Major Grierson, who went to Hamilton Ohio for said carbines for the 6th Regt -- says they cannot be manufactured for 6 weeks yet, but he says they have 300 carbines at $22.00 each of not quite so good a quality as those contracted for (which are to cost $27.00 each) which would suit his battallion well and he would be very glad to get them -- Can he have these?  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please answer at earliest possible date and oblige 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours very Respectfuly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd Yates
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some weeks ago I made aplication through my friend M. H. Cassell for the appointment of Route or mail Agent on the Ills &amp;amp; Southern Iowa R. Road from Clayton Ills to Keokuk Iowa.  this road is now completed, and some one will get the appointment.  Now what I want is some Friend in Washington to see the Post Master Gen &amp;amp; have this made a mail Route and see that I am appointed
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;Route Agent. The papers were sent to Hon. William Kellogg, and my aplication placed on file. It only needs energy by some influential person (&amp;amp; my much esteemed friend R. Yates is the man) to have me appointed to this position.  Believing you would gladly do any thing in your power for me that would be to my advantage.  I will be under renewed obligations to you if you will use your endeavers to get me this appointment.  M. H. Cassell Received a letter from Hon. W. Kellogg stating there had been no other aplication made for this appointment, at the time my papers were filed, but since arriving in Clayton I 
&lt;hr /&gt;find others have made aplication for this Position  Please get me this appointment
&lt;p&gt;Your most obedient Servant
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John. C. McCoy
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;J. C. Mc Coy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Clayton, March 11, '63.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wishes to be Route Agent from Clayton Ill. to Keokuk, Iowa, and wants Gov'r. to help him.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Think another man has since been appointed
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Forrest.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Waukegan Lake Co Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;March 11, 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had not an opportunity of submitting to you fully and clearly my ideas in reference to an extra session of the Legislature, and the matter of the alleged vacancies of Seats. I am decidedly in favor of the extra session. I deem that the possible interests require it, and I beg to give you the following brief suggestions.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The session should be harmonious &amp;amp; the body of that character to fully sustain the present State Administration. The best interests of the State absolutely require this.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If there are no vacancies by resignation, death or removal among Republican members, the session it is presumed will be what is desired.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is said that at this time no seats of Republican members are vacant by death; none have removed from the seats of their districts, and none have resigned.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is said however that certain members have accepted offices from the United State and from this State since their election, and it is therefore required that they cannot under the Constitution hold their seats - This is not a question for the Executive; - by the Constitution
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;each house is made the judge of the qualifications of its members. No Executive can in no case judge of this, or declare seats vacant and on his own motion issue writs of election to fill vacancies on supposed disqualifications of members.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As to resignations, without some express provision of law, members can only resign to the house of which they are members and before their seats can be vacated their resignation must have been accepted  See case in 4 Devereau's Rep. p. 1.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Properly and strictly the Executive can take no notice of the subject of qualification or disqualification of members or vacancies of Sents. except on information from the proper house.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this case the Gov. should issue his proclaimation for convening. &amp;amp; send a copy to the usual Post Office address of each member as if nothing had happened. When the General assembly convenes and it is reported to the Gov. by either house that vacancies exist in their body from resignation, disqualification or other case, he will issue writs of election &amp;amp; cannot til then.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the Gov. should in advance, on his own motion order elections to fill supposed vacancies arising from supposed disqualification of members
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;yet each house may admit those members supposed to have become disqualified and there is no other power to reverse or correct their action, In fine it would be a usurpation of power for the Executive to adjudge members to have become disqualified and declare their seats vacant &amp;amp; proceed to order their vacancies filled.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the case of Dr Ireysse of Sangamon I am informed that his family still reside in his Dist. so he may be considered a resident still.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pardon me for presuming to make these suggestions; I hope you may give the matter of vacancy due consideration; I am satisfied it is the proper view of the case
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In your proclaimation. I would like if you would include the subject of Revenue in general terms as one of the subjects to be acted upon, which would give the Legislature full power oer the matter of taxation which will be the important subject of action for the session.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours very truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E.M. Haines,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hon. E.M. Haines
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Waukegan Mch 11
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;called session.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haines
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;File
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Called session of Legislature"
&lt;/p&gt;
