Letter from Judge Clark.
Editor Covington Star:
Dear Sir— The editorial in your pa¬
per of the 2d inst. does me great iniue
tice. Presuming you so wrote from a
misapprehension of the situation, 1 send
you an explanation. Were I not of that
impression, I would pass it in silence.
The reason I did not begin the session
of the court until Thursday, was that I
was compelled to return to Jonesboro
on Monday to deliver the jail. A crim¬
inal case that the solicitor genera!
thought could be tried in half a day,
look a day and a half, as is often the
case in the estimation of the time it will
take in trying cases. Saturday came
and there w ere four prisoners yet untri¬
ed, and my duty to that county was to
return, haye the jail delivered. I would
do the same for Newton, or any other
county of my circuit. When I began
the session at Coyington, the case set
from the last term, for the first day of
this term, took nearly three days, which
brougth the time to Saturday afternoon.
There were two days of the second
week for civil business, w hich was well
occupied. Then came the criminal bus
iness. The jail was delivered, and other
cases disposed of up to Saturday. On
Saturday I was occupied up to noon in
calling the appearance docket and hear¬
ing motions. Then I called the whole
docket and found there were only four
cases untried, which could be tried, and
only one of these presented an emer
gency. I then had to decide whether I
should call the jurors back the next
week, or have an adjourned term, and 1
decided the emergency was not so great
as to take the citizens from their farm
work, which was then so pressing. In
this I thing I did your citizens a bene¬
fit instead of an injury, and instead of a
loss to the tax payers. I saved them the
expense of three days of court, which
w ill be made up next court and thus
end in injury to noone.
Newton county is nearer up with her
court business than any county in the
circuit, and to satisfy yourself, I ask you
to inspect the dockets—indeed, I may
say fully up with the business.
So much for this, which w ill soon cor¬
rect itself, and no one will feel it ; hut
you did me a greater injustice in com
menting upon my feeble condition,
which makes the impression I am suffer¬
ing from some permanent malady, or
the infirmities of age. A gentleman
who had read your editorial, met me
since my retern, and expressed iris sur¬
prise at my looking so well. I w as sim¬
ply suffering from a protracted cold, as
was the case with so many, and in the
many is included the young as well as
the old. Notwithstanding tha , there
was no discount on my work during my
whole service. I did just as much, in
the same time, as I did when I was not
unwell. It is hard you will not allow me
the privilege of suffering from a protrac¬
ted cold in consideration of the long
hard winter we have had, and have had
some snow from eight to twelve inches
deep—when the thermometer has twice
touched zero, and all the orange trees
in Florida were killed. I am obliged for
your sympathy, nut at present do not
need it. I hope to recover. I hear you
have been sick, and have recovered.
You hope I will he better after my vaca¬
tion. If you were properly informed,
you would know my judicial duties The are
such, 1 do not have any vacation.
fail term I served nine consecutive
weeks on the circuit, and thirteen more
in Atlanta, and that does not embrace
much chamber service. I have stood
this for ten years, and I do hope you
will not } ronounee sentence upon me
until the time arrives.
