The HUl and Stephens Controversy.
We expressed regret at tbe outset that these
two eminent Georgians, whom oar people de
light to honor should have renewed an old feud
which we thought was buried by the band of
oblivion, and we intended at tbe outset to pub
lish nothing on either side; bat such is tbe
cariosity of oar readers, in common with the
publio generally, to Bee what they have to say,
that we this week yield much of oar space to
Mr. Hill’s ‘unwritten history'and Mr. Stephens’
reply to it.
It will be remembered that in a speech do
livered some time since before tbe Historical
Society in Atlanta by Mr. Hill, be spoke dis
paragingly of tbe average member of Congress
oi the present day—denouncing some of them
as imbeciles, scalawags and negroes—but nam
ing no one.
To this Mr. Stephens replied with great as
perity-denouncing Mr. Hill’s statements of
fact as false, and using very bitter epithets.
Mr. Hill replied, in a short letter, which was
also very bitter, re-affirming bis statements,
aud saying there could be no compromise—
that nothing but “ retraction or infamy” cSuld
settle it. He then published the “ Unwritten
History,” which will be found on our first page,
Tbo letter of Mr. Stephens, which follows on
tbe second page is in reply to Mr. Hill's last
two publications.
Thus the matter stands at present, and it is
to be hoped that if these gentlemen have any
thing more to say in abuse of each other, that
they will do it through private correspondence,

Social Equality.
The negroes of Tennessee have lately held a
State Convention, to which no whites were ad
mitted, at which, among other things, they
demanded as a legal right, tbo privilege of
marrying white women !
This is the feather which breaks tbo camel's
back. Even the bitterest of tho Radical pa
pers are roundly denouncing them for this.
“ Give an inch and take an ell," is true the
world over. Every unreasonable demand sub
milted to only paves tho way for another still
moro unreasonable If the whites continue to
submit, they will soon be disfranchised on ’* ac
count of color and previous condition!” They
will bo obliged, if they would save themselves,
to insist that “ this is a white man’s govern
mout.”
Three Heavy Documents.
We hope our readers will not complain of
being over-dosed with long documents this
week. Wo publish three, which is too much
for one issue; but, as we rarely offend in this
regard, we hopo our friends will bear with us.
more particularly as they are all interesting—
we moan the Hill and Stephens controversy
and Councilman Mos3’ reply to Col. Speer,
winch will be interesting to oar city readers.
We do not like long documents, as we know
that uulcss they are unusually interesting, the
public will not lead thorn. Some of our ” pro
vincial" exchanges which are printed in “small
pica," " long primer’’ and “ sich like," and
who blow aboflt the vast amount of reading
matter they contain would hardly be able to
digest these three heavy articles, besides giv
ing a variety of miscellaneous and agricultural
matter, news articles, editorials, and adver
tisements ad nauseam.
Gen. P. M. It. Young.
Tho New York Sun attempts to connect Gen
Young with tho corrupt •• Washington Riug,’
and to make out a case, says that be bad bur
rowed a largo amouut of monoy from tho
Freedman's Savings Bank. This is not tho first
time innuendoes of this sort have appeared in
Radical papers; and, although wo cannot
credit theso stories, knowing Gen. Y. as we do
wo thiuk, with tbo Chronicle <£• Sentinel, that
it is due to himself and his Georgia friends
that ho should put a quietus to them by show
ing their utter falsity.
Candidates for Congress.
After we open our new type, so as to get a
full supply of capitals, we may announce tbe
names of such gentlemen as feel a willingness
to represent this District in Congress, or to be
come candidates on the Democratic side, eitta
or by “ standing” of running.
So far as tho Republicans $re cqnopfped
there will be no difficulty, wo apprehend- ft
is understood that the Hon. Joshua Hill, late
U. S Senator, will be their candidate.
Although the Democratic party is stronger
in this District than in any other portion of
the State, there is danger unless we have good
management. We have ton many great men
some of irhorn couUi not defipt their position until
Democratic success teas fully astute#. This is
one difficulty; and another is, that there basi
been so much trading—so much sbuffliug and
cheating in timos past—that, if everything is
not msutaged exactly “ according to Gunter"
there will be troafcte- Our great strength but
serves to make some of our people feel over
confident.
What wo need is perfect unity of action
perfect fairness aloue can secure this. No
stocking of the cards or other chicanery will
bo tolerated. Let us all work harmoniously
together. A false step will give the District
to tho enemy.
Senator Norwood’s Speech,
In opposition to the infamous civil rights
bill, so-called, of which wo gave somo notice
in our last, and which has since been complet
ed, attracted much attention and is highly
commended by Southern gentlemen who beard
It.
It is evident, wo think, that somo of our co
temporaries who have written disparagingly
of Senator Norwood, have, in sportsman's par
lance, " gouo off half-cocked." The fact is,
our people have, of late, manifested too much
impatience, and do not give a new member an
opportunity to show what sort of stuff he is
made of.
It is impossible for a Senator or Representa
tive either to make any very decided-impres
sion at the first start, except now and then an
isolated case, which only serves as an excep
tion to a general rule. Give new members a
chance, and don’t replace them by putting in
others not a whit superior. This policy wil
weaken our section by always having new
members,
Saved by Forty Minutes!
Tho Atlanta Herald of Saturday contains an
account of tho manner in which tbe life of Mr.
Henry Jackson, sentenced to be hung last Fri
day, was saved by a respite from tho Govern
or. wich arrived just forty minutes beforg the
time fixed for the execution. *
The county officers of Lee county telegraph
ed to Gov. Smith on Friday morning that
facts of recent development rendered it al
moat certain that Henry Jackson was an inno
cent man. The Governor had gone up the
State Road. Col. Alexander tolegrapbed to
him at Marietta. At 12 minutes after 11 o'clock,
an order was received for a respite of one
week. It was at once sent over tho wires,
and, as above stated, reached Us destination
forty minutes before the execution had been
ordered to take place.
Homicide at Homer.
Capt. Garrison informed us last week that
a negro boy was shot in Homer, recently, by a
young Mr. Moore, whilo the circus of Wooten
& Andrews was performing at that place.
Candidates for the Legislature.
We learned, when at Banks Court, that E.
Anderson, Esq., would be a candidate to repre
sent that county in tbe Legislature. We have
since learned that Col. J. J. Turnbu,;, late
representative, announced himself a candi
date for re-election, in a speech delivered by
him at Belton a few days ago.
Increase of Currency.
Beast Butter bos authorized a compromise
measure which, it is thought will receive tbe
sanction of the President, providing for sneb
inoreaso of banking capital as will allow ten
dollars per capita, according to tbe census
of 1870. This, it is said, will add about twen
ty-six millions to the presentsnmin circulation.
Worth Knowing.
Mr. D. H. Malcom, of this county, informed ns
the other day that the ravages of eat worms,
bud worms, moles, crows, &c., among corn,
can bo prevented by tbe application ofa quart
of kerosine oil to each bushel of seed before
planting. V v* ~
Horses.
These valuable animals are now very low,
in consequence of tbe high price of corn and
scarcity of money. We understand that a
pair offered for sale at auction on Saturday
wore withdrawn from the market for wa.ut o
idders.
Civil Rights.
There is now somo hope expressed that this
bill of abominatious" will bo shorn of some
of its most objectionable features before its fi
nal passage by Congress. For example, in
stead of requiring negroes and whites to mix
in tbe same schools, theatres, hotois, railroad
cars, etc., it will simply provide that they
shall be furnished with as good accommoda
tions as tho whites.
Murder Will Out!
Wo learn from the Marietta Journal that the
murderers of Air. H. G. Turner, whose mutilat
ed remains were lafe'F found buried Jq u creek
in Pickens county, have been discovered. A
lad of 16, named John Edwards, was arrested
under suspicion, and confessed that he and an
older brother, named Vester Edwards, who
fled to Texas immediately after the commis
sion of tho crime, were the murderers. They
got their victim drunk, and to gratify an old
grudge, split his head open with an axe, and
concealed his body iu tbe creek. Judge
Knight sentenced John Edwards to the peni
tentiary for the term of ninety-nine years.
me with is utterly incompatible with the en
tire principles of my nature. I will, more
over, say in reference to this matter of tbe
comma" that I do not now see any possible
difference in tbe meaning oftne words by its
omission. Tbe sentence as it appeared in the
Chronicle <£• Sentinel, and as quoted by me,
represented Mr. HUl as using this langaage i
” I received from Mr. Davis’ own Jins a full
account of tbe conversation between him and
the Commissioners, before their departure from
Richmond.”
Mr. Hill says pat a “ comma” after conver
sation. Be this as it may, I certainly had
nothing to do with taking it out, nor do I see
how tbe sense of tho words can possibly be
changed or modified either by its insertion or
omission.
The plain import, either way, is that he re
ceived tbe account of the conversation from
Mr. Davis before the departure oflbe Commis
sioners from Richmond. This I showed con
clusively, as I thought, from tbe facts of the
case, (apart from Mr. Hill's absence) to be
impossible; aud Mr. Hili himself admits, not
only in bis letter referred to, but in bis com
munication in the Herald of yesterday, that
be did not receive tbis account from Mr. Da
vis until some days after tbe departure of the
commissioners.
Tbis is quite enough for all his sensational
comments on my murderous slaughter of a
“comma” with malicious intent of doing him an
injury, ft is also quite enough to sustain my
position on tbis point of difference between
us.
Mr. Hill, however, in his tetter of the 21st
ultimo, proceeds to make a statement of facts,
which be pledges himself to make good ou
pain of infamy. This statement involves sov-
orul issues of veracity between him and my
self, as bo is pleased to treat them. These
are :
1st. That be teas iu Richmond during all
the time the subject of tho Commission, and
the appointment of tbe commissioners to the
Hampton Roads Conference was under con
sideration by Mr. Davis.
2d. That I knew he was there, that I saw
him almost daily—talked with him—knew the
interest he took in the subject of the Commis
sion, and that I could not have forgotten these
(acts, unless I have become imbecile indeed
3d. That ho was in my room and told me in
tho presence of a number of gentlemen that
he should insist on my appointment on the
Commission.
That I may do Mr. Hill no possible injus
tice in my construction oi bis language 1 give
his whole statement in his own words. Iu
quoting I shall not copy, but shall iucorpor
ate what I find in print over his name, in tho
Atlanta Herald, of the 22d of April. So if
there be any mutilation of commas or words,
in what he wrote, the rerpossibility for it will
not rest upon me, but upon tbe compositors in
tbe Herald or Constitutionalist office. Here is
wbat I find over bis name:
Now, I stand before tbe publie responsible, on
pain of infamy, to make good tbe following statement
ot lacts:
VI jj.ee not only in Eicbmond during aft tbe time
he subjeot of q,v foijinissipn end the appointment
of the Commissioners was liiiiier Hr.
Davis,’but Mr. Stephens 1-iieis I was tjisrei saw mi
ala oit daily; talked with me; knew the Interest!
took iu tbe subject of tbe commission, and could not
havo forgotten these facts unless he has become imbe
cile indeed. I was at the man’s room, and told bim
in tho presence of a number of gentlemen that I should
insist on bis appointment on the peace commission.’’
On these issues Mr. Hill Tauntingly proclaims that
be raises tbe “ black flag,” and '* will neither give nor
take'quaf.ict.f’ Re will “(derate no solution but
proof, rdirittion, Mr UttOfirg.,'/
This ,s all quite biitb-toqndiug, r«,iue? indesq 00
the’• highfalutin" ordar; and coating fron) anybody
else, bat for its extravagance, might be received as tbo
tones cf a true man of real honor and ohivalry. Com-
fhg, however, from Mr. Hill, what do they amount to?
Wbat does be mean by the “black flag?" Judging
from his past course in like mattere, the only legi’i-
mate inforeneo ia that he meana by it nothing but ink !
Under wbat other “ flap." either with a pen or other
heavier imminent, charged with the same jetty fluid,
djd he ever fight ? Ae fer what he aays about “proof,
retraction or pt/ifir.t," it is quite enough forme at this
time and in thirchbnpetiqp (ft rsigju., t{.o ctUio, that
he some seventeen years „go stated ip apqnllb speech
at Thomson, before a large audience, as it was report
ed to me, that he bad a few days before at Lexington
charged me to my face “with hiving been a traitor to
tbe Whig party, and that I bad cowered under it."—
When called upon to mako good this statement as a
gentleman of honor, he neither furnished “proof,” nor
ntayp xvy “ retraction,” or other amende for bis un-
foundetfhn<jt)Qn9/f^/fabrication; but submitted to the
“ infamy” of being ported *» a UjV- tt!:r!v 'i’stimte
of truth. It W*S after this brand Was tfipp''tH|i* fixed
upon him, he as now hoisted his “ hlaak flag," apd
squirted his ink in most disgusting profusion. This,
therefore, it is to be presumed is all that be now means
by reference to bis usual and favorite “ flag.”
As to his several issnss of veracity, I submit the
foUqpjpg comments only:
Dja sfs.leu.tet that I kneie ha was in Richmond pend
ing thseohridlrriqvn oi tee Hampton Roads Confer
ence—that I saw him alm'Ost daqyj^rtalked >,ifh him,
and knew tha interest bo took in the subject of th
Commission, Ae., is utterly unfounded in taot.
His statement that he was in my room, and told me
in tbe presenes ofa number of gentlemen that hesh'uld
insist upon my appoinfment on the Hampton Roads
Conference, (and this in its connection is wbat his
statement means, if it means anvthing,) is also utterly
unfounded In fact Let him, therefore, bring forward
his “ proof," atuoo tho gentlemen referred to, make
bit “ retractionJ' r or’be\r qtSfj” cf tnfeuy” which
ho invok*-. k.
His sta’oment that be was in Richmond all the time
this Commission was under consideration, in denialof
my statement that he was in Georgia at tha time, I
vbaM more about hereafter.
It was in dyneetation that some of bis proofs, at
or “ imbecile” in body I maybe, that Mr. Hill called at
my room eUherthenigbt before Mr. D&vissent for meor
the night before that (I am not certain which) when
we talked fatly about tbe commission to bo raised tbe
next week by Congress under tbe resolutions prepared
by me. He then spoke as if he was in cordial support
it, bnt stated tbet he waa to atari for
of the movetneu . _ . _
Georgia tha naxt morning and took hia leave of meae-
oordingly. In thia last interview between ns in Rich
mond he did not give me tbe slightest intimation that
be knew anything abont Mr. Blair’s proportion. I
did not see him in Riohmond afterwards. Hewas not
then on my return from Hampton Roads, and tbs next
I beard of him after he took hie leave of me, aa I
have stated, he was in Georgia.
Those an tha grounds on which I predicated wbat
I said abont bis not being in Riohmond dnridfc the
time Mr. Davis bad tbe anbjeet of seceding to Mr.
Blair’s proposition under consideration. From wbat
be now aays I will not undertake to re-affirm that ba
was not there, bnt leave him to settle the question as
be pleases. In the estimation of honorable men it will
site no difference whiob way ha settles it. HU pres
ent version of his oonduot in the whole affair, and his
oonfsssed daesit, double-dealing and duplicity toward
to ia perfectly consistent with bis telling me that be
as going to Georgia when he intended to do no snob
thing, bat to eontinue to lark abont Biobmond, keep
ing oat of my sight, while he might watch the work
ing of hia scheme to defeat a movement whleh hepro-
fussed to support.
ThU matter of hia presence in Richmond is, howev
er, at beat, only a aids and collateral iasne. It does
not touch tbe real merits of tbe controversy between
ae. And lines Mr. Hill’s showing, it becomes a mat
ter of very little importance how the foot is so far as
infamy” ia eo’ioered.
Now, in reference to tbe conference proposed by Mr.
Bleir, It may be proper for me here to re-state that it
was in no sense whatever, a peace commission proper
ly so oallod. It proposed nothing, and covered noth
ing, bnt a secret Uilitary Convention, with tho views
and objects befora stated. My reason for adrising Mr.
Davis to aceede to it are fully given in my account of
the Hampton Roads Conference. I had no idea how
ever, at tbe time that he was using it, and deceiving
me (according to Mr. Hill’t showing) for the sole pur
pose of defeating tbe movement proposed by me, and
which, according to general understanding, would be
adopted the next week by a majority of both Houses of
Congress.
Mr. Hill in his last “Carmagnole” confines himself
simply to wbat he ceils a history of tbe Hampton
Roads commission, but utters not nnt word about
the conference under it. It is a fact to be noted
that hfi does not assail or question a single state
ment of my history of the conference itself. He
neither assails jts fulness or accuracy. Tbis was
the point to which bo was challenged. He does not
even question tbe fact that Mr. Davis assured ins that
nobody knewanytbing about it except Jlr. Hunter.
But wbat be says about tbe meeting of tbe Georgia
delegation in |py room early in January, and our con-
suiUtion upon the resolutions I then submitted dejorres
some notice from me. According to his account, after
tbe delegation had agreed to support them on tbe terms
stated, he went over to the Executive Mansion and
conversed with Mr. Davis until midnight, concocting
with him a scheme by which I was to be circumvented.
My recollection is very distinct that after I read tbe
resointjops (p bim and be bad objected only to that
feature which pros tied for (he appointment of the com
missioners by Congress, and not by the President; and
I bad axplainsd to b<n>my reason for this provision,
which was to relieve Mr. Davis from the embarrass
ment in which be would be placed from bis then re
cent speeehes against the eaii of a general Convention
of States as an initiatory stop for negotiations of peace,
Ac., be seemed to be satisfied with tbe explanation,
and said that in that view of tho subject bethought Mr.
Davis himself wonld not object to them. I told bim
the best way to settle that question was for bim to take
the Resolutions over to Mr. Davis and submit them to
bim. Tho Executive Mansion was but a short way
across tho atreet from my quarters This be did. Tbe
delegation awaited bisreturn. He was gone but a short

Clayton, Ga., May 1st, 1874.
Mr. Editor : At a mectingfof tbe citizens
of Rabun county, held on the 29th April last,
at Clayton, to deliberate upon the importance
of an early and liberal subscription to the
ijortheastern Railroad, there was muoh inter
est manifested in the enterprise. Tho people
bore will do their part, as soon as they are as
sured that there is a reasonable prospoct for
the completion of tbo road to this point. Al
ready several thousand dollars have been sub
scribed, aud the balance which the Company
desires Rabun to raise, will and can be secured
whenever the people aro satisfied that the road
will come.
Maj. M. Retuerlapd, of Ularkesviite, and
Col. W. L. Marler, of Gainesville, were present
on the occasion, and made able aud eloquent
speeches, pointing out the immense advan

over, I thought at tbe time it was highly expedient
that tbe Legislature should be convened in order to
take proper action to arrestthe demoralisation set forth
in the letter of J udge Hansell. I have no question that

MR. HILL’S HISTORICAL ADDRESS.
NUMBER II.
Liberty Hall,
Crawforbville, Ga, May 4,1874.
Editors of the Constitutionalist :
Tbo reply of Mr. Hill, of the 21st ultimo, to
roy first article on bis Historical Address, ren
dere it proper, if not necessary, that tbe sub
stance of this article, No. 2, should relate to
matters different (ram wbat I intended it
should, when toe first was written. Wbat
was i tended to be embraced in No. 2, there
fore, will be postponed until I respond to bis
letter referred to—the chief object of which
seems to bave been to divert attention from
tbe merits of the real issuea between ns, as
presented by my first article, not only in re
ference to tbe Hampton’s Roads conference,
but other matters specified by me.
Tbis response, though I was, as I still am,
exceedingly feeble from protracted disease,
and now barely able to dictate wbat is penned
by tbe band of another, wonld bare been sent
to yon in time for your last Saturday’s issne,
but for tbe previous announcement in tbe At
lanta Herald that Mr. Hill would have a fur
ther communication on tbe same subject in
tbe following Sunday’s issue of that paper.
That announced communication is now before
me, and I will proceed to give it, as w^ll as
bis letter of tbo 21st, such answer and in each
langaage as I deem they both deserve, keep
ing in mind. I trust, a due regard for my own
self-respect, as well ns the importance, mag
nitude and dignity of tbe subject. The real
truth of history has been, and is, my controll
ing object. I have as little tante for contro
versies of tbis sort, or even tbe use of strong
reprobatory words as anybody can have, and
novel iodnlge in either except fa the vindica
tion of wbat I deem truth and justice.
First, then. Mr. Hill, in bis letter charges
me with tbe base act of not quoting fairly from
bis Address, and this waa done for tbe purpose
of giving his words a meaning they did not
otherwise have. To this allow mo to say to
yoa, and through you to the public, that I
quoted from his Address as I found it in the
Augusta Chronicle <6 Sentinel. The quotation
by me is exactly as I found it in that paper,
as any one can see by turning to its files and
examining Its issue of March the lltb, 1874.
If tliero was any mutilation oi a " comma” in
tbe sentence quoted it cannot be justly charg
ed to me. I need hardly add tbat I supposed
tb at tbe publication in tbe Chronicle & Sentiuel
was correct. Such an ast aa Mr. HUl ohargo*
in tbis respect, that I would use toy utmost influence
agi Inst it.
With the views of mj brother, Hon. Linton Stephens,
I was fully acquainted. We were in almost daily cor
respondence, and the imputation east upon his memory
by Mr. Hill, that he was to take the lead in the Legis
lature for a movement looking to the making of eepa-
ta(e tpfnji of peace by Georgia is as unbounded as it is
nnjqit, "Goa St tfii Bjokt iaargd-dqtiSi hots resting on
me is to vindicate bis memory from suob "unpatriotic
and dishonorable conduct as the insinuation imports,
lie was fully informed of the nature and character of
my Reaolutione, and gave them his oordiil approval.
Indeed they were bnt the embodiment of our mutual
views aud sentiments upon the subject. I believed
also then, and believe now, they were in full accord with
the policy of Governor Brown.
These Resolutions will be givon to the public here-
Bitjif, ahjiR k a— able again to resume tbe subject.

the lift ultimoi but soipevh*' t0 m y surpriso it con
tains nothing of tis* sort'. It if up-0 the holo noth
ing but another one of bis aii ot cojntunpd
“ Carmagnoles,” a la mode Barere. It does, however, |
if true, throw eomo light npon a matter that wae here
tofore dark and rather myeterioua to mo. But tho
truth, if bo has told it, reflects. 1 am sorry to say,
quite as little credit upon Mr. Davis as it does upon
biat'l.f. If, however, what he eaya be either true or
raise—-well spy Mr. Davie exclaim, “Save me from
my friends ” I alwaysffaoaght it exceedingly strange
tbat if Mr. Davis waa really in iiavor^t getting anar-
mis'ics under Mr. Blair’e proposition! ho should hare
pursued the course he did by giving pnbliciiy to the
Commission.
It aow seems from Mr. Hil ’• last manifeeto and
confession tbat bo and Mr. Davis were both acting
with the grossest dnplieity towards me, and in confed
eration with others, formed a vary fonl conspiracy to
use tha Blair pntpoejtjon, with no other object what
ever but to deleat another pjjpsien of a very different
character, which it was well ttndcpglp.od s' the time
would bo Instituted by Congress tha neittweek- This
Commission, under tbe authority of Congress, was to
ba raised in accordance with thl resolutions prepared
by maaarly in January, to which fils. Hi)) refers. Tbe
objeot of tb*i£resolutions, and the contemplated mis
sion under them, trp/c entirely different from those
afcsod at by the Blair prsppgition. His looked solely
to, seed covered nothing but a uaryt Military Conven
tion betvHO the beligerents with a view of preventing,
the estatoiiaiifMSDt of a French Empire in Mexico, by
tha joint operetta* of the Federal and Confederate ar.
mica, in meintenaAoewJjJ;* Monroe doctrine. In thie
way Mr. Blair thought, ps Pavia stated to me, a
fraternisation would taka place jj^jreen this two ar-
mies, and peas# be ultimately obtained f restora
tion of tha Union wtlhoot the subjugation of tbeoouth-
ern States. His proposition was not for a peace com
mission in any proper Mue of (be words at all, nor
did it look to any direct oregtpga of peace oa aithar
eide. or the tenae upon which itahqpjtd begatg|)IDhed.
My resolutions, on the «jn’-rary, a.uthoruad the cre
ation ofa commission empowered fio initiate, erto make
overtures for the initiation of negotiations for peace
not upon separate State action, bat npon the greet prin
ciples on which thtwhole Confederate struggle ratted,
and upon which tha whole fabrie of American free in
etitatione wee fonnded.
From the baleful light the* Mr. Hill new furuiehee—
which is of the character of the faint glare from cov
ered lanterns which sometimes give glimpses of tbo
most diabolical, underground, midnight deeds of the
moat Iniilk criminals—it seems tbat be, Mr. Davis,
and others wars aiming at nothing in acceding to Mr.
Bisir’s pioposition, bed “ to stop Hr. Stephens,” and
to head and defeat hia movawppt for bringing the ear
to a cieae npon thoie principles megrbirb alona Con
stitutional liberty ean be preserved ootiifi continent.
It seems that when Mr. Davis told me ebon* feia hav
ing not mentioned the enbjeet of Mr. Blair’e proposition
to any ono but|Ur. Hunter waa not true. Ha had told >
Mr. Hill about it, and that but for tbr ignoble device
they resorted to, “Mr. Stepheno”* Resolutions wonld
havo been adopted the next week.
In this view of the anbjeet and from wbsA ba now
statos I frankly confess that it ia not at all improba
ble tbat Mr. Hilt may bave been in Bichmoid when I
felt assured that ba waa in Georgia. Tbat statement
of mine that ha waa in Georgia when Mr. Davis bad tha
■abject of the Blair conference underconsideration wai
bated opop wbat now aeems to bave been a too confi
ding reliance by me on the truth of what be and Mr.
Davis told me.
It ia as true aa I exist 4igt J sever heard of the Blair
propeaition until noon Friday, of January, 1165,
when Hr. Davis firstcommunjca.tqd.it£o£te, Mr. Hun
ter had only made a general reference tp ft w)»en he
told me on tho morning of that day, that Mr. Rpvja
wit lied to see me at 13 o’clock on the anbjeet.
It is also as trne as I exist that Mr. Davit told gne
that Mr. Blair bad left tha day before,and thatbe bad
notaentloned tho subject of hia mission to any per
son whatever, except Mr. Hunter, not eren to a single
member of Me Cabinet, tint war to haTe a Cabinet meet
ing at4 o'clock that evening on the matter. I tit equal
ly trne that I remained with Mr. Davis until the Cab
inet was announced. AaIpasaed out of the door of
his room they passed in. It is equally true that the
commissioners were determined upon by the cabinet
before their adjournment. Hence I stated it was im
possible for Mr. Hill to know why each of the commit
siouers had been appointed. I took itforgrantedwhat
Mr. Davis said waa true.
It ii moreover M true at that I (till survive, bower
