A Notable Letter from Ex-Governor John-
809.
Sandy Gsoye. I
Bartow P. O., Georgia, August 13, 1873. )
His Excellency, James M. Smith :
Sib—I addressed you a letter on the 25 of
July, in which I called your attention to the
manner in which yon assumed to close the
correspondence which had been pending be
tween us, and stated to you, that if you had
been contented, simply to express your satis
faction with my disavowal, I should not have
said another word. But that you indulged
in remarks quite unnecessary, seeming to
point to inferences unjust to myself; that as
I intended to intimate no opinion in the
speech referred to, as to the truth or false
hood of the charrgo of deception against you,
so that I intended that no such opinion should
be inferred from anything I said in that cor
respondence ; that I had mado no allusion
whatever t© your not offering me a seat on
the Bench of the Supreme Court, but that
you had done so in terms, thus opening a
new issue, which I should he compelled,
however reluctantly, to meet, if your last let
ter went to the press in that form. My mo
tive for this last communication was to ar
rest temporarily, if possible, the publication
of the correspondence, with the hope that
you would so modify it, as to dispense with
the necessity of my saying a word more on
the subject. I had the right to be consulted
as to when the correspondence should close.
It was not for you alone to decide that point,
and, in closing, say what you pleased. But
you were in a hurry. I received no reply to
my protest until long after the publication
(yon being absent from Atlanta) and that re
ply simply said, yon would have withheld
the publication if you had supposed that I
would have desired to say more ; that you re
ferred to the “rumor in the eastern portion
of the State,” which was substantially the
same as the * ‘vague rumors” to which you al
luded in your first letter, to meet what you
thought was an intimation by mo that you
were overdiffleuit to satisfy; that you did not
know in making allusion to such rumor you
were opening a new issue; but that if I
thought so, you would be pleased to hear
from me again. Thus the matter stands. I
cannot submit in silence to the attitude in
which you have placed me, by the false and
unwarrantable construction yon have given
to my letter of the 17th of July. I take up
the correspondence, at the date of 22d July,
when you assumed to close it.
In my Macon bar dinner speech, respond
ing to a toast complimentary of my adminis
tration, while Governor of Georgia, I remark
ed that “I never deceived anybody.” Yon
conceived that I could not have said so, with
out intending to imply that you had deceived
somebody. Hence, yon inaugurated the cor
respondence between you anil myself.
Your first letter was dated June 17th, 1873,
but two days after the uttering of the (to you)
obnoxious remark. Yon asked: “Whatref
erence, if any, I intended the remark to have
to yourself?” It is important here to note,
that your enquiry referred specifically to my
intention by that remark on that occasion. This
was the issue:
On the 21st of June, I replied that “at the
moment” (of the remark) “the charge against
you, which I have so often heard, of having
deceived applicants tor office, came into mv
mind and suggested the remark. Thus I
may be said to have alluded to you. But I
intended no sucb charge myself, nor to ex
press regret that I was misunderstood, and
that it would have been discourteous in me
to have selected such an occasion to be of
fensive.
On the 27th June, you replied that you
were not satisfied. You seemed to be con
tented with the negative aspect of my disa
vowal,—that is, as to “wliat my' intention was
not," but you asked to be informed affirma
tively “what my intention was.” This was
really the only point made in your second
letter. My reply of the 4th of July to this
point was (repeating previous disavowals)
‘ ‘that, by the remark under consideration,
amplified into its affirmative signification, I
intended to imply, that, in my intercourse
with men touching matters of constitutional
and official duty, I exercised entire candor
and good faith.”
You said no more about affirmative intention,
hut being still dissatisfied with my disavowal
and explanations, in y r our letter of the 10th,
July you asked me to say “that nothing I
said in my T Macon speech was intended as a re
flection on yourself, or as an endorsement or
countenance of any injurious charge against
you.” In my reply to this, July 17th, I re
peated my former disavowals, and said : “1
did not intend by the remark and on the oc
casion of its utterance, to charge you with de
ceiving applicants for office, nor to express
any opinion in reference to such charges,'"
either directly, indirectly, overtly or covertly.
I did not give you the statement you request
ed about “endorsement or countenancing”
any such charge, for the reason I said, that,
“as to endorsement or countenauing” I can
I can only say “that the state of my mind
was just what it was relative to the expression
of any opinion in reference to it.” I had no
intention, either pro or esn, as to endorsing
or countenancing. You were, at last, satis
fied, and on the 22d July you wrote that my
“disavowal of any intention to reflect injuri
ously upon you, in my Macon Bar-dinner
speech is full and satisfactory.”
I say again, if you had stopped at that
point, and submitted the correspondence to
the public, without further remark, I should
not have had another word to say. I have
given this brief synopsis of the correspon
dence, in order to show, even to you, if you
are disposed to be fair and candid, that the
issue was as to my intention, by that remark,
and on that occasion. You yourself made the
issue and fixed its limits. Your acknowledge
ment of satisfaction shows that you so unde- I
stood it, and all my replies show that I so ;
understood and so treated it.
But you thought proper to add the follow
ing language to your expression, of satista-
tion: “It is proper for me to say before
closingtliis correspondence however, what I
"had often heard before your speech was de
livered, viz : that a report had been circulat
ed, in the eastern portion of the State, to the
effect that I had violated a promise to you by
not offering you a place on the Supreme
Court Bench. ******
“When I learned, however, that a gentle
man of your consequence—the person whom
the report charged me with having deceived
—had used, in a public speech, language un
derstood by persons present as intended to
imply that the charge was true, it became
proper for me, at once, notpnly to seek an
explanation, but also to require a distinct
avowal or disavowal of such intention on
your part It was due to me that the explana
tion should be very full, and that 0<x disavowal, if
made, should be broad enough to meet the charge
in dU its aspects, -with a negative." (I italicise
these words.) “Iam pleased to repeat, that
in these requirements, your last has met my rea
sonable expectation." {Italics.)
Now, from the two last sentences quoted
and italicised by me, it is evident that you
designed the correspondence to be construed,
(1) to cover “the charge” embraced in the
“report in the eastern part of the State, to
the effect that yon had violated a promise to
me by not offering me a place on the Su
preme Court Bench,” and (2) that my hist
letter, of the 17th July, contains a disavowal
“broad onongh to meet the charge, in all its
aspects, with a negative.” How could you
be so unjust as to give such a construction
to my letter of I7tn July ? How could you,
in view of such construction, assume that
our correspondence referred to closed with
your letter of the 22d July ?, How could you
assert that my letter of the 17th Jtny “met
the charge, in all ils aspects, loith a negative ?”
You and all intelligent men must have seen
that there was in that letter but an enlarge
ment and fuller expression of the feelings
by which I was actuated in what I said at
the Macon Bar dinner, but not the slightest
modification or disavowal of any sentiment
ever uttered by me on other occasions in refer
ence to yourself.
My third letter to you, of the 17th July
was, as the first, on the 21st of June, con
fined solely and exclusively to your issue, lo-
wit: Your enquiry as to my intention, by the
remark complained of, made on the occasion of
the Macon Bar dinner, and what reference, if
any, I intended it to have to yourself : wheth
er I intended to make on injurious imputation
against you by that remark, and on that occa
sion. I replied explicitly that I did not.
With this yon werenot satisfied, butaddress-
ed me again on the 27th June. The reason,
perhaps, that yon were not satisfied with my
full and explicit answer to your question was
my careful avoidance, as was apparent from
my letter, of any allusion whatever in it, to
the “vague rumors” that yon said had reach
ed you, of my having “made unkind re
marks” about you. This part of your letter
I did not rer.ly to, because you had stated
nothing distictly about those “rumors” more
than that they were “vague” and purported
the expression of some sort of unkind feel
ing, on my part, towards you. You, howev
er, gave them no tangible embodiment, pre
sented no facts upon which they were foun
ded and made no request of me for any ex
planation of them. They were only stated
as a reason for your supposing that I might
have intended to cast an injurious imputation
upon yon by the remark of which yon com
plained. To these “rumors” therefore, as to
myself, as veil as the general charge against
yon, of having deceived applicants for office
and a want of sincerity in yonr official inter
views with gentlemen touching matters of
that character, I made no allusion in my re
plies to your enquiry ns to my intention in my
Macon speech. I confined myself strictly to
the words of yonr enquiry. Hence your sec
ond and third letters, in both of which you
seemed to aim at getting something from me,
in reference to those “ vague rumors” with
out giving them any substantial form or ma
king any distinct enquiry about them. In
my second and third letters I still confined
myself strictly to the sole issue you had pre
sented.
In my letter of July 17th, yon got nothing
but what was substantially given in that of
the 21st .June on that issue, which embraced
everything concerning which yon had ven
tured to make an eqniry. Yet, in your letter
of the 22d of July, which you give to the
public with the whole of the correspondence
up to that time, and which you assume to
say was the close of it, you say you are satis
fied. I repeat, if you had simply said this,
there the correspondence would have closed,
so far as I was concerned. I had, in my first
letter, very clearly and fully stated in sub
stance that I did not intend to cast an inju
rious imputation upon you in my remark at
the Macon Bar dinner. * But in that letter,
nor in the 2d or 3d, did I say anything from
which you were warranted in drawing the
inference as you have done, in your closing
tetter (so called,) that I had disavowed any
thing pertaining to the “vague rumor” re
ferred to by you, and which apjjears in all
your letters as the real gravamen with yon,
though, for some reason, you chose to keep
that matter in the background.
On that point you were not justified in
drawing any inference whatever, either “pro
or con," from any or all of my responses to
your enquires. Least of all.could you legiti
mately say that I had met ‘ ‘the charge” in
reference to my non-appointment io the bench
of the Supreme Court with a negative “in all
its aspects.”
What “vague” rumors you may have heard
of expressions made by me, other than at the
Macon dinner, in relation to yonrself and
my appoint! lent to the bench of the Supreme
Court I know not, I know and I will not un
dertake to answer anything which is not
specifically stated.
But I will remark that if yon wish to know
the opinion I have expressed, and I now en
tertain, in reference to your not offering me
n place on the Supreme Court Bench, I have
not the slightest objection to inform you
frankly; and with equal frankness I will
give the reason for it Perhaps the turn
which this correspondence has taken, in
consequence of the closing paragraphs of
your letter of the 22d July, herein before
quoted, would fully justify me in doing so
voluntarily, and I doubt not many persons
might think it necessary. But, as the scope
of the matter in hand does not require it, I
leave it for yon to say whether you wish
public controversy on that subject. What
I have said, I have said; and the opinion I
have expressed is firmly and honestly en
tertained. It is proper, however, to remark,
that what I have said has been elicited by
questions directly put tc me by persons who
asked me why I was not appointed to the
Supreme Court Bench, or drawn out in pri
vate circles, when the wide-spread dissatis
faction, relative to yonr appointments, was
the topic of conversation. The whole ob
ject of this letter, however, is to protest
against r.nd expose the false construction
which you have unwarrantably given in
your letter of the 22d of July, to mine of the
17th of July, to-wit: (1) That my disavowal
in it applied to “the charge” rumored in the
eastern portion of the State to the effect
that you had violated a promise to me by
not off ring me a place on the Supreme
Court Bench;” and (2) that that disavowal is
“broad enough to meet the charge in all its
aspects, with a negative.” I now repeat fin
ally and emphatically that I made no disa
vowal, in my letter of the 7th of June, nor in
any other—never intended to make any dis
avowal—in reference to that charge, nor in
reference to anything I may have ever said,
nor in reference to any opinion I may have
ever expressed concerning your failure to of
fer me a place on the Supreme Court Bench.
I need not say that such a communication
as this is distasteful to me. It is, however,
not of my seeking. You have forced it upon
me. I ain averse to personal controversy. I
appeal to the published portion of this corres
pondence as proof of it. It contains not an
unkind word or an offensive allusion; It is
pervaded by a spirit of courtesy, and is con
fined throughout, on my part, to the speci
fic issue made by yourself. I intentionally
avoided “traveling out” of it, with the sin
cere purpose of showing the necessity of dis
cussing the “rumors” to which yon alluded,
of your having violated a promise to me by
not offering me a place on the Supreme Court
Bench, Whenever yon shall invite that dis
cussion, I am ready to stand upon the truth
of what I may have said, and vindicate it be
fore the bar ol public opinion. It is with pain
ful reluctance that I make even this allusion
to the subject. Bnt as j r ou have placed me
in the attitude of disavowing what I may have
said, and the opinion I honestly entertain,
when, what I have said, and that opinion
were not embraced in the issue you made, I
must speak cut I must subordinate the con
siderations ofdelicacy, which, under ordina
ry circumstances, would entitle you to my si
lence to the higher duty I owe to my own
seif-respect. I cannot permit you to close the
corresponence at your pleasure and with
your entering up of judgment against me, as
if by my confession, on matter not included in
the issue, and concerning which I was not
oven called upon by yon to answer.
I am, sir, yonr obedient servant,
Hekschel V. Johnson.
Ohoopie Sunday School Celebration.
Last Friday the annual Sunday School
Celebration took place at Ohoopie church.
We had the pleasure of attending, and we
met there a large crowd of people, and several
of our friends. The exercises of the day
were begun by the Sunday School children
forming in line under the shady trees, and
marching into the house; singing ono of their
sweet songs of Zion. They had a very hand
some banner, emblazoned in an elegant style.
It was white with a blue fringed border.
Near the top was the word “Faith.” In the
center was “Hope” with an anchor, encircled
with a delineation of a wreath. At the bot
tom was “Charity.” After the largoaudience
was seated in the house, a very impressive
sermon was delivered to the children by
Rev. J. J. Hyman, Pastor of the Ohoopie
church, and principal of the Sunday School.
After the sermon, a reees3 was given and
all repaired to the large table which had
been prepared for the occasion, and which
was fairly burdened with the good things
which the good ladies of that vicinity had
prepared. It was a most sumptuous repast,
and there was a great profusion; enough to
have feasted the same crowd twice. After
the intermission, a short address was deliver
ed by Rev. Mr. Peeler, after which came
the address of Dr. H. N. Hollifleld, which,
upon a vote of the assemblage, was requested
of the Doctor for publication in The Sandees-
ville He aald, and will be found on the first
page this week. —
And just here pardon us for a little digres
sion. It affords ns much pleasure to observe
that The Heb^ld is read and liked by almost
every body, and we tike occasion here to
tender our thanks to o«r readers and friends
for their kind appreciation of our efforts.
We shall continue our endeavors to make
The Rebald a welcome visitor to all, and we
will try at all times to make it a suitable pa
per to be placed upon the parlor table or in
the hands of theyoungto instruct, admonish
and entertain, in a pleasant, agreeable, and
wholesome manner.
Bnt to the day. It was one of much pleas
ure, and the flourishing Sunday School re
flects much credit upon the good people
around Ohoopie church. May it continue
to prosper, and may the citizens never lose
interest in it.
Letter from Tennille.
Ten-mule, Aug. 26th 1873.
Editors Herald: We intrude ourselves upon
your columns, knowing yon always advocate
any movement tending toward the advance
ment of your fellow-citizens. We have al
ways advocated, ourselves, the improvement
of our little placs— though we don’t own a
foot of land here—and have tried to arouse
public spirit enoughj to have a good school
and chnrch at Tennille, but alas, for publie
'spirit, it is dead, and repeated trials in this
way have only resulted in signal failures.
We might sustain a good school, and who
docs not feel the importance of a church and
Sunday school ? Here we can’t get to hear
a sermon, unless we go to somebody else’a
church.
This place is fast increasing in popula
tion, and yet nothing is being done to edu
cate, mentally and morally, our youths.
They may grow up in ignorance and vice,
all for the want of a sufficient spirit of en
terprise among the parents, to provide for
them a school, and the advantages of a
church. !
Now what must bo done, if things can’t be
done by public means? Let us, as private
citizens, take hold of the matter and erect
a building for public uses. The proposi
tion is to form a joint stock company and
erect a house, by shares of twenty-five dol
lars each. This will he owned, controlled
and rented by this company, whether it be
for a School, a Grange, or a Templar’s Hall,
it will pay a handsome per cent on the in
vestment,—besides it will greatly improve
the place and tend towards its prosperity.
As for a church, it will be gratuitously offer
ed to any sect,who will preach for ns. Now
is the time to' work, we have been idle long
enough. Let’s inaugurate a mental and m«ral
education for our youths and no longer allow
them to grow np in ignorance and vice. All
who feel an interest inothe welfare of tho
place, can get further information by calling
on our Postmaster. Tennodb.
