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.
