apr30-if Respc-ttudy. J. H. JAMES.
In tills letter No 4, .Mr Stephen*«ajw r ^he
waived all further traverse of the issue he
raised upon the point of my presence in Rieh-
moud when be thought 1 was in Georgia,”—
He has been driven to this sickly admission
by the overwhelming proof.
First, then, it is distinctly settled that I
Was in Richmond, “during the lime the suh«-
ject of the commissioners was uuder consid
eration by Mr Davis.” aud therefore, Mr
Stephens told a plaiu falsehood when he so
positively affirmed I was not then in Rich
mond, aud that it was utterly impossible for
me lo know what 1 said I knew, and lo have
received from Mr Davis what I said I had re
ceived from him.” Ou this point my truth,
fulness is vindicated and his falsehood is estab*
lithed.
Again : The statement that I was in Rich
mond and had cer'ain couvercaiiou with Mr.
Davis was material us shoaiug the means I
had of knowing this important fact, that Mr.
Davis did uot embarrass the Commissioners
with instructions to make the recognition ot
our independence an ultimatum—aconditiou
precedent to any negotiations, and* that a
lumor so circulated to damage Mr Davis was
not true
In his letter No 4, Mr Stephens now admits
thbt this rumor was not true—that Mr Davis
gave no such instructions, and “that the
Commissioners were left to exercise their
own discretion to obtain au armistice, etc ”
He now claims that he (Stephens) had denied
this same rumor, with others in the 2d vol
ume of his “War between the States.”
Secondly, Then it it distinctly settled that
the rumor alluded to is false, that this state
ment in the Historical Address m true—und
Mr Davis on this point is vindicated.
Then everything I said on the Hampton
Road Commission in the Historical-Address
is true, tor the contradiction of this rum;.TV
und tny reasons for being able to contradict
it, includes every word in that address ou
that subject.
Now, the question ia, why did Mr Stephens
so violently attack my vetacity on this
point ? Why did he accompany that attack
with such a flood of wicked epithets * Why
did he say iu his attack that nothing mote
untrue had ever been said on the subject of
the Hampton Roads Commission, and hold
me to odium as worse than Barere, the fa
mous liar of the French revolution? If he
has done all this, and done it falsely, shall
he be allowed to do so, not recall his charge
and his epithets, aud escape with impunity
with his reputation for truth and honor ua-
tullil-ticJ : . —-
My truthfulness in tbe statement ia es
tablmbed, and Mr Duvis is acquitted of the
charge—' a rumor made against him, but how
does this setilcioen! of the issue leuve Air
Stephens?
The issue formed between us, both in its
terms aud its nature, demanded “proof, re
traction or infamy.” He furnished no proof
and he makes no retraction- The proof ia
furnished against him and, like a thief
caught with stolen mouey on his person, he
cries out “l waive all further traverse” —
Weii, if criminals overw helmed with proof of
guilt, are to escape punishment by simply
crying out, “all further traverse is waived,”
we have i new feature iu morals, if not a
lew rule in taw. Nor is thiq the most iui-
pudeul feature of this case. The criminal
ttirua upou all the witnesses in the case, and
s*\s, they are accomplices, affel thal Mich tes
timony ia uot usually considered of much
weight, either iu courts or by the putilic.—
Well, how much weight is usually attached
to the weight of the criminal himself, “either
in courts or by the public?” But who are
these witnesses thus denounced a3 accom
plices ? Honorable members of Congress,
as true, able and iutel igent as any in the
State. How. and lu what way are they ac
complices ? Like watchful, trusted sentinels
they uuited their counsels to avert what
they all considered a disastrous movement in
their own Stute— at the ethical moment
when the country, all was in peril Thgy
trusted this criminal in view ot his known
iuflueuce with his accomplice. Gov Brown, to
secure the result they regarded so important,
and he proved untrustworthy l Was it ever
before heard of, that a matt charged with
falsehood—convicted of falsehood—had the
effrontery to turn either to the court or lo
the public and demaud thal his statement —
his unsupported statement—should have
more weight than all the evidence of all the
witnesses, and that he should be adjudged
as an iunoceut, persecuted saint, and the
witnesses all condemned as accomplices in a
conspiracy against him? Did poor Barere
ever dream of such u sublime pinnacle of
impudence as »his ?
This is no idle “idle,” “collateral’* or non-
essential” issue. Two public men of the
Coufederate Government are on trial for
their characters—their character for truth.—
The issue was distiuctly made.
The proof is full and complete. The guil r
ty mau is fixed. Iu liis agony he cries out
“I waive all further traverse.” Will ibe jury
of the public waive judgment ? That is now
the questiou.
Iu no spirit of viudiettveness, but from a
painful sense of duty to the public charac
ter aud iuterest, 1 demaud that the puuish-
ment be inflicted to the fullest extent of au
outrageii pob'ic conscience. 1 announced
in advance thal if the proof fixed the guilt
on me I was willing to submit to th.it seu
teuce. The reasons which demand this
sentence are all inexorable, if the people of
Georgia will preserve their own character
from gtain.
Iu the first place, Mr Stephens now ad
mits that my statement in the address deny
ing the rumor agaiust Mr Davis, was correct.
Then why did be attack my means of know
ing the. truth of a correct statement! Did he
not thereby intend to imply, at least leave
tbe country to believe, that the statement
itself was false? He cannot escape this
conclusion, and it shows a willingness for
for the people to beiieve an untruth against
Mr Davis.
In the second place, he made his attack
upon my means of knowing this correct fact,
in a most violent vindictive and wicked
spirit. Why should he be so vindictive to
wards ms for knowing tbe truth ? Has he not
told a falsehood, prompted thereto by the
most groundless and inexcusable malice ?—
What punishment is too severe for such a ma
lignant intent and wanton act ?
In the third pUce, though convicted by
the proof until he seys further proof is un
necessary, he makes no retraction of his
falsehood, no qualification of his epithets, no
apology for his crimes, and no promise of re
form An honorable msn makes haste to
recall and atone for a false charge—even a
mistake Every day that a falsehood is not
recalled it is repealed,,and the crime ia mul
tiplied by the honrs. But Mr Stephens
wrote four long letters ani demanded proof
from me, and manufactured excuses to hide
his first falsehood, andall this time he knew
that I bad made a correct statement in re.;
lation to the rumor against Hr Davis, and
instead of admitting that the stalemaU vat
correct, was actually laboring to make the
people believe that the author of the state
ment was a liar beyond even Barere and
Munchausen ! Can falsehood be more de*«
liberate ? Can crime be more infamous ?
In the fourth place, the.character of iLe
people of Georgia is involved iu this ques
tion. No crime can be so great as that of
falsehood in a public man. Without truth-
fullness in' those they trust with place and
power, the people can never know when a
law is just, or when a right, is secure. A
public man who will tell a falsehood uoiuten n
tionally, or intentionally, and not relracj.it,
is capable of any other crime, even to infi
delity, and treachery itself, in the darkest
hoar of public peril. If a people trust such
a man after he is couvicted, they become
parties to all his crimes against their own
safely—each man so trusting him adopts his
falsehood as his own ; the whole country be
comes corrupt and all confidence is destroy
ed. It is not often that such clear Convic
tions of wanton falsehood, so brazenly per-
sist^L in, occurs, and therefore, when they
do occur, the punishment should Lfe tbe
mereatvere that the exampu nuy i»e &v.jid-
edi r
I fear there ate other circumstances of
great aggravation in the crime of Mr Steph..
eu*s. Soon after the war I was repeatedly
told that Mr Stephens was tellingtis visitors
I in private conversations that MrDatia bad
given the instructions to demand* our-'*inde-
pendence as an ultimatum, ns the rumor al
luded to said. .When the 2i Yeliwne * of-bis
War between tbs States” came out, the
first portion I examined was the chapter on
tbe Hampton Roads Conference,' in order to
see if this charge was made or authorized in
bis book- I found a general denial of rumors
that Mr Davis “tied the hands of therCom^
umsiouers.” buL no allusiou to this special
rumor. Neverthlees, t thought the general
denial faitly covered this, and was satisfied
Iu a short time 1 heard tbe rumor repeated.
I have heard it in the South and in the.
North, amoog the friends and enrmics-of Mr
Davis, aud always Mr Stephens wtilf^eferred
to ms the author of the charge in his “private
conversations.” Men of high character, anJ
Mr Stephans' friends have eo stated,, and
often. • . ‘~ i r -

cooiuiissiou needed 'contradiction.-.yl knew
the charge was not liue.
first“proper opportunity, sta*ed 4hkt it was
uot true, hut desiring- no issue with Mr
Ste| hens, I alluded to no one as the author
of the rumor. -_
Does his fierce attack on my veracity show
that he was (he author of this slander of
Mr Davis iu his private talks with his un*
meious Bynums and Heistets ? Did he at
tack toy “means of knowing the fact,” and
not the fact itself, so as to avoid *n issue on
the fact, and thc*aecet8ity of being exposed
and mode to recall hia private statements?
What other explanation caa he give for
thia wanton attack upon my veracity lor
stating u fact that ho now admits to be true?
If this,be the explanation how much blacker
it makes the crime.
I need only state that Mr. Stephens’ state
ment of what 1 supposed was a reconcilia
tion Bof our old controversy, is not
rect. It was referred lo mutual friends,
Gen Toombs and Col Kenan. They reported
the settlement was as I formerly elated it.
It Was accepted by both of ns. and by me
with04it hypoericy. All this occurred la ther
Congress Hall at Montgomery. I have never
so much ns seen the article in some paper to
which he allude?, mud never beard of it sav£
through his statements. Mr Stephens apol
ogizes to tb: public for coining a new word
ry, A man who coins facts wittf'SS'
cility, and sticks to his coin so reckUssIy
need not become conscience stricken at coin-
ling a word. If Mr Stepheus and his accom
plices had supported the Confederate; <G.ov~

ple might have avoided the horrors of subju'
gution and reconstruction. Would that this
master of alaug and calumny, had never
made his mad assaults on anything buf my
good name. .. v ...
In the next, I will take up the letter of
March 14th, 1864, and its history. In doing
so I do not wish tr* be understood as admit**
ting that anything Mr Stepheus has s&id or
can say needs deuial. He has outlawed
himself from credit. * No honorable man can
believe one who stands convicted; of a false
hood which he is too. unmanly to reiract.
But that letter has a history and I will now
take pleasure in .giving it. If a discussion
is now opened which shall bring into _ques-
