Bartow P. 0., Ga.’Aug. 13, 1873. >
His Excellency. James M. Smith:
Sir —l address i! you a: lei ter on
the 25th of July, in which I call- and
your attention to the manner iu
whii h ydu asstirnAJ to close the cor
respondence which-had b en pend?
ing between us, aad stated loyou,
that if you h id contented, sim»
ply to express your*satisfactioii. witli
irri* disavowal, I should not h.ive
said nitotli r wd*i. t-But .that you
indulged in remarks quite une essa
ry seeming to point to iufer.-nces
unjust to myself ; th it as I intended
to intimate no-opi ion in t l -e bpeeclt
referred to, aj to the truth or false
ho and of the charge of dec* piio i
agaiii't you, so 1 intended that t o
such opinion s!iou J d be infered from
anything I said in thal co respond'
ence; that I had made no allusion
whatever to your not offering me a
seat on tlie Bench of the Supreme
Court, but that you had d-ne so in
lerms, thus opening anew issue,
which 1 should be compelled, how
ever reluctantly to meet, if your
lust letter went t > pres- in iliat form.
My motive for ties last communica
tion was to arest temporarily, if
possible, the publication of the cor
respondence, with the hope that you
would so modify it, as to dispense
with the nec s ity of my saying
awo and more on the supject. I had
the right to be consulted as to when
the correspondence should close.—
It was not lor you alone to decide
that point, and, in closing, Say what
you plea-ed. But you were in a
hurry. I received no reply to, my
protest until long after the publiea
lion (vou being absent from Atlanta)
and that reply simply said, you
would have withheld the publica
tion if you had supposed that 1
would havedcsind to say more; —
that you re r err* and to lhe ‘rumor in
the cas ern portion of the State,’
which was substantially theS'ine as
the ‘vauge rum To’ to which you al
luded in your lir-t lottor; t i meet
what y u thought was an intima
tion by me that you were overdiili
cult to satisfy ; that you did not
know in making allusion to such ru
mors you were opening anew issue ;
but that if I thought so, you would
be pleased to bear from me again.—
Thus the matter stands. 1 cannot
submit in silence to the at itude in
which you have [>lac and me, by the,
fa'sc a-id unwarrantable co struct’oh
iyou have given to my 1 it r of the
17th of July. I take up the corres
pondence, at the date of 22d July,
when you assutn and to close it.
In my Macon bar,
responding ’o a toast complimentary
of my administration, while Govern
or of Georgia,. L,remarked that ‘I
never deceiv.ed, anybody.’ You con
ccived that I could* not have, said s *
without inteuding io imply that you
had deceived soineb dy, Hence
you inaugurated the corr* sspond
ence between you and myself.
Your first letter was dated June
17ih, 1873,but two days after the
uttering of the [to you] obnoxious
remark. You asked: ‘What refer
otte°, if ony, I intendeJ lhe remark
to have to you self!’ It is import
ant here to fipto, that your, inquiry
refered specific.illy to my intention
by that remark on that occasion
This was the.j^sue;
9 On the 21st of June, I replied
that ‘at the moment’ [of the remark]
‘the charge acaiusi you, which I
have so often heard, of having de»
ceived applicant s for office, came into
my tnind and suggested the remark,
Thus I may be.said to have alluded
to you. But intended no such
charge myself, nor to express any
opinion in reference it.’ I furs
ther expressed regret that I wits
misunderstood, and that, it would
have bi en discourteous in me to
hive selected such an occasion to
be offensive,
On the 27th of June, you replied
that you wre not saiisfied. You
seemed to be contepietf with the
negative aspect of my disavowl—
i hat is, as to what my intention was
not,’ but .you ask to informed af
firmatively ‘what my iptemion was.'
Tfciawas really theooly point made
in your, s'cond,. letter. My reply
of the ;si,b July, to this point was
[reposting previous .
‘that, by % remark under consider-,
atipn, amplified into Aa. . affirmative
signification, I imply,
thatf’Jn iuy infercoyrtp men
touching m ttters of and
'SSKgtSS?***'
affirmative
asked me to say ‘that riot fling I s*id
in Ttiy Macon speech was intended as
a rtn ctioh on yourself or as an en
dorsement or countenance of any in
jurious charge against you.’ In my
reply to this, July 17rh, I repeated
my former disavowals, and said; ‘1
did by the remark and on
the occasion of its ut'erance, to
charge you with deceiving appli
cant for offic*’, nor to express
any opinion in referece to such
charge,’ either directly, or indirect
ly, overtly or cvertly. I did not
give you the statement you request
ed about ‘endorsement or countev
nan. ing’ auv su<-h charge, for the
reason! said,'that, ‘as to endorse
ment of countenancing’ 1 can only
say ‘thatthe .'tnte af my mind was
j ust what it was relaii ve to the expres
sion of any opinion in reference to’
it.’ I had no- intention, either pro
or con, as to endorsing or count®
nnneing. You were at last, satis
fied, and on the 22d July you wrote
that my ‘disavowal of any in'entioii
to reflect injuriously upon you, in
my Macon Bar-dinner Speech is full
ands *tisfactory.
I say again, if you had stopped at
that point, and submitted the cor
respondence to the public, without
further remark, I should not have
had another word t<> say.
I have given this brief synoposis
of the correspondence, in order to
show, even to you if yo t are dispos
ed to be lair and ctndid, lhat the is
sue was as to my intention, by that
rcma>k, and on that occasion. You
yourself made the issue and fixed its
limiis. Your acknowledgement of
satisfaction shows that you so under
stood it, and all my replies show that
I so understood and -o treated it.
But vou thought proper to add
the following language to your eX'
presston of satisfaction : ‘lt is prop
er for me to say bofore closing this
correspo idence however, what I
hadofien heard before your speech
was delivered, viz.; that a report
hail been-circulated, in the eastern
portion of the State, to the effect
that i had violated a promise to you
by noi offering you a place on the
Supreme Couri Bench. * * *
‘When I learned, however, that a
gentleman of your sonsequence—
the person whom the report charged
me with having deceived—-liad used
in a public sjieecb, language under
*. si nod by persons present as intended
to imply lhat the charge was true,
ii become proper for me, at once,
not only td seek an, explanation, but
alsoto require a distinct avowal or
disavowal of sueb iotent.on on your
part. It was due to me that the ex
plantim should be vhry full, and that
the disavowal, if made, sbuld be broad
• enough to meet the charge in, oM its as
poets, with a negedive.' [I Italicise
these words. ‘I am pleased to re
ea«, that in these requirements, your
last has met my reasonable: expecta
tionJ > [lVoL'mev]
, Now from the two- lost sentences,
quoted and italfcied by me, it is evi
dJnt'that you designed the corres
pondence to be construed, {!] to
cover Hhi charge 1 embraced in the
‘‘report irf the eastern pari of the
State, to the effect that you had vio
lated a promise to me-by not offering
me a place on the Supreme Court
Bench,’ and [2] that my last letter,
of the 17th July, contains a disavowal
‘broad enough to meet the charge,- in
a'l its respecs, with a ueg itive.’
How could you be so Unjust as to
give such a construction to my letter
of 17th July? How could you in
view of such a construction, assume
that our correspondence refered. to
closed with your letter of-the 22d
July ? How could you assert that
my fetter of the 16ty July, met the
charge, sh all its aspects, with a mg
atwe V You aud'all intelligent men
must have seen' that there "was iu
that‘le'ter but an enlargement and
fulled expression of the feelings by
Which I was actuated in what I said
at’the Macon Bar dinner, bat not
theslightest mollification or disavow
al of any sentiment ever uttered t by
me on other conations in reference j.o
.ptfcwltd' *-•>:
My thit*d letter to you, of the Lftb,
July was, a% the "first, on the 21st of
June, confined so'ely and exclusive
ly to your issue, to-wii: Your in
quiry as to my iitt:<*fUioo,iy the rev
moritcomplained of, made on thro#!-
casion, of the Macon Bar dirmer, and
what'referefteh, if any, I intemledM
to have to yourself; whether I «A
tended to make,an injurious i
tiop By tmt Remark, and
oh thaTOcbasum.* t relied explicit
ly that I hbi,, With this you ;
were tic? fgtisffetfy but addressed
me' dgaio bfTdfie ‘37th bf- June;
The reason, perhaps, that you wste ;
not satisfied,with mjt full and ex
plicit answer td : wuf‘ qufegtion was
aiv careful avoiaauw, as waß appsfi
rent from my Tetter, of any %llu*t<»
whatever in ii. in :he. ll emm gni.
thal you said had reached Vou, oi
my having ‘made unkiod remark*’,
about you. This part,vl'your letter
I did not reply to, because you had
staled nothing distinctly about those,
‘rumors’ more than that they w* re
‘vague’ and purported die expres
sion of some sort of unkind feeling,
on my prut, towards you. You
however, gave iherq no tangible
embodiment, presented no fuels up
on which they were.fouudod and
iriade no request of me for any ex
planation of them. They were on
ly stited as a reason for your sup
posing thal I might have intended
to cast an injurious imputation upon
you by the remark of which you
complained. To these ‘rumurs’
therefore, as to myselt ns weil as
the general clurge against you, of
having deceived applicants for office
and a want of sinceri yin your offL
eial interview* with gentlemen
touching matiers of that character,
I made no allusion in my ■ replies lo
your i ijjuiry as to my intention in
mv Macon speech. I confined my
self strictly to the w >rds ofyour in
quiry; Hqnce your second aid third
letters, in both of which you eeem* and
to aim at getting something from
me, in reference to these ‘vague ru
mors’ without giving them any sub
stantial form or miking any dislinct
inquiry about them. In my s cond
and third letters, I still confined
myself strictly to the sole issue you
had present! and.
In my letter of July 17th you got
nothing but what was substantially
given in that of the 21st ol June on
that issue, which embraced every
thing concerning which you had ven
tured to make an inquiry. Yet,, in
your letter of the 22tl July, which
you give to the public with, lhe
whole of the correspondence up to
that time, and which you assume to,
say was lhe close of itj you say you
are satisfied. I repeat, if you had
simply said this, there the corres
pondence would have closed, so far
as I was concerned, shad, in my
first letter, very clearly and folly
sta'ed in substance that 1 did not in-
tend to cast an injurious imputation
upon you in my remark at the Macon
Bar dinner. Bi tin th it letter, n t
in the 2d or 3rd, did I say anything
from which you tvere warranted in
drawing the as you have
done, in your closing letter (so-called);
that I had disavowed anything per
taining to thfe tyqgue .rurfibr’ refer
red to by you, and which appeal's in

you chose,to keep that matter in the
background, M* “** *
Oil that point you were not justi
fied in drawing any inference what
ever,either ‘pro or con, r from any or
all of my re-ponses to your inquiries;
Least of all bbuld you legitimately
say that 1 had met ‘the charge’ in
referen.ee to my non-appointment to
the bench of the Supreme Court
with a negative ‘in all its aspects,’
Whit ‘vague’ ,/umors ,you may
ha vo heard of made by
me, o‘*her ih ui at the Macon dinner,
in relation 10 yourself and my ap
pointment to the bench of tj\e Su
preme Court I know ~ not,
and I will not undertake t > aDStwan
anything which is not specifically
stited.
But I will remark that if you
wish to know the opinion l jpsye ex*
pressed, and;l now entertain, .in ref
erence to your not off-ring me a
place on the Supreme Court Bench,
I have norths slightest objection to
inform you frankly; and with equal
frankness I vdJl give the reason far 1
it. Perhaps the turn which thiseor
respondence has taken, in .conse*
quence of the clp.ung.paragraphs of
your letterof the 22d July,' herein
.before quoted, full# j^uSiiiy

I leave it.for.yoa £? say whether you

said; and tne opinion 1 have ex
pressed is firmly and honestly en.
teitained.iplL is proper, however#*
remark, that what I have said has
been elicited by questions directly*

out in private* circfoa, when the

your fai la re to offer me s place on

Ineed not say that Midi a com
munication as this is distasteful lo
me. It i» r however, not of my seek
ing. You have forced it upon me;
1 am avers j to personal controversy,
I appeal to the published portion
of this correspondence as firoof of
it. It contains not an unkind worts
Oran offensive allusion: It is per
vaded by a spirit of courtesy, and is
corfined throughout, on my part,
to ihe specific issue made by you*
self, I intentionally avoided ‘trav
eling out* ©fit. wiifi the s‘»cert por
pose of showing the necessity of
discussing the ‘Juniors’ to which you
alluded, of y*mr having violated a
promise to me by not offering me a
place on the Supreme Court Bench.
Whenever you shall inviteihat dis
cussion, I am ready to stand upon
the truth of what I may have s idl
and vindicate it before the bar of
public opinion. It is with painful
reluctance that I’ make even this al
lusion to the subject. An* I as y>ui

I cannot permit you to close the
