terrilde disease, which will no do lbi return in

wonderful results m Mouth America w here the
most aggravated cases ot' fever are found,
causes trom one to two ounces of bile to be fil

passes through the Liver, as long as un excess
of bile exists. By its wonderful action on the
Liver and Stomach the Hepatine not only pre
vents to a certainty any kind of Fever and
Black V mit, but also cures Headache, Consti

Om. IV. T. Wofford , Cass Station ,

Dear Sir—lt has come to my
knowledge recently that in the At
lanta Daily Constitution of the Ist
inst. you are rej orted to have used
the following language concerning
me in a speech delivered in La-
Grange, Ga., on the 28th ult.:
“He” (referring to yourself) “called
Renfroe a ‘rogue,’ and said that he
would refuse him his hand upon the
afreet, for it was covered with
crime.”
I have the honor to inquire whether
you are correctly reported, and if not,
whether you used in the speech re
ferred to words of similar import.
This will be handed to you by ray
friend Governor James M. Smith.
I am very respectfully,
J. W. Renfroe.
Atlanta. Ga., October 16, 1880.
Bear Sir—On the 12th ins( you
receive from me a communication
addressed to you by Mr John VV.

of beurrsg to you as his friend. Trie

Gentlemen—There is a rumor
which vve deem authentic, that a
serious misunderstanding or matter
of difference exists between you.
which has caused or may cause uu
unfriendly correspondence.
Wf> have no wish h> interfere in
the tiff‘its of others, nut in a cane
where Urn be-d interests of t-hn com
munity and the good of B"dety seem
to require it, we cheerfully tender
• •ur services in the interest >f peace.
There can seldom arise matter of
difference between intelligent end
reasonable men, which is not suscep
tible of an honorable and peaceful
adjustment. And we cannot for a
moment suppose that gentlemen of
your elevated position and high
•haracter w ill refuse to permit media
♦ ion looking to an adjustment of any
difficulty existing between you We,
therefore, most respectfully request
that yon will refer the whole matter
to the undersigned, or to such oD er
gentlemen as you may select, for a
full, peaceful and honorable settle-
meut; and that all further corres*?
pendence, If any ia ponding between
vou, be suspended till the a tempt to
secure a peaceful adjustment haa (
-iiher been successful, or there has'
bef*n a lalline, which we are not j
willing to anticipate.
We s ml a copy of this com muni* j

T e ( ffi id ac ini of Ql. II ..froo
whs a Icgii i inato -iuLj c nf coimu' ot,
in the lafec.invass by Gen W If rd,
tir any other citizen; on the other
hand the personal moiives and in
tentiori of the re surer could not be
assailed without over-steppirg th ■
boundaries of legitimate criticism m
political discussion. Gen Wofford
is reported by the newspapers as
having applied to Idm the epithet
“r->gue” and the word “crime.”
These terms are offensive, and ought
to be di-claimed; or. if not misre
ported, withdrawn as imputing to
Col. Renfroe rrr-ral turpitude. If
Gen. Wofford did not us© them he
ought to disclaim; and if he did use
them, he should withdraw them as
too strong to designate mcr politi
cal obliquity. They import moral
depravity, and such is the c turnon
understanding nf their meaning.
There is a elear distinction, both
legal and moral between the appro
priation of monev or property under
a groundless hut claim of
right and th- likeappropiiatio i with
a fraudulent intent. The former is a
mere civil injury while the latter is
crime. The circumstances satisfy us
that Gen. Wofford really intended to
charge the former and not the I itter; ;
and if our construction is correct Ire
may say so. H cannot, he dishorn *ru
hie to avow the simple truth, and :
relieve another from odium which 1
was not des'gned, hut which words
used in the heat f discussion would
seem to cast upon hi .■
We do not cone- iw- that, disclaim
ing the offensive word-, or wiln
drawn g them would b any yielding
Iv Geo. W fond of his attack upon
Col. R< nfr*e’s ffiehv coed net. Me
is i>dei no obiiga a ; t- ah;:tc w
soften his denunciation of that, so
long as Iris expressions arc just m hi?
real meaning, and not likely to he
misunderstood. Ail that wo would
cilt upon him to and i to f iimi- Me
any seen dug io • ulaiion of moral
errupti--o; ;md wito ’his Col, Ren*
free ought to t>e -ath fl*d.
As regards ox-G veru r Smith, his
only grievance is the Miyh app-r
o t)y put bj Gen. Woff ird upon o*l.
ttud tntttxii by to
receive a communication, of which
ex Governor Smith, as the friend of
Col. Renfroe, was the bearer, lu the
cio’jns!meet which we propose as to
the principals, this purely incidental
dispute is merged, arid should, we
think, disappear, if our decision is
accepted.
We shall furnish each of the three
gentlemen with a copy of this scheme
of adjustment, at and await their re.
spective replies, which we ask may
be addressed to us, that we may pro
nounee upon their conformity to our
recommendation and declare the re
sult. Joseph E. Brown,

it r .!h?r< w i h all the severity iu mv
power cer-ain ffi -iaJ conduct of
Tr asu er Renfroe, hy which, as then
I iiebevvd, and now believe, he ob
tained money illeg lly and by illegal
means. I believed then, and beliew
non 1 , that the means by which be
and othms made protit by the use of
the stale’s money was condemned In
the const it uiirm of the s-ate; and that
it was not necessary that the legisla
ture should make a law in order that
such u->e of the state’s money should
be illegal But whs necessary a law
should he marie in order that such
use should he a crime. And I, there
f ire, m ant to charge that certain
conduct Treasurer Renfroe, reviewed
on that oceasi n, was illegal, becaus*
positively prohibited hy the consti
tution of the statq and that by sub
sequent legislation su hcm du>”t v
constituted ciiaie. If I
words “rogue” and “crime” on ;
occasion—and I may hav** dope s —[
meant by teem to <h or co riz e u- :
tain of his official acts ond c induct,
as illegal, without arty expression of
opinion as io morality or integrity of (
his intentions. I thought if littJe;
important to his cbdms for re-elec*;
lion, whether lie hod misunderstood j
the constitution and laws, > r whether
he had violated thorn wilfully In
so far, therefore, as my language
may have been, or may be constroed
to • fleet upon his private and p* ~
sonal horn s s y, si is due l

qua -fled by Me* hir- w h ■; ope-mse l

Why Should Not Gen. Grant Work?

G o, Grant is haie, hearty, and
