Tlio Toomlm und Urown Af
fair.
We lay bsf, re our reader! in to-day'a iuue a card
from Hon. Robert Toombe, pnbUehed in (ho Atlanta
paper*, on the 16th in»t., together with a reeponee
to the name from Ex-Gov. Brown on the 18th.
We regret that we have not the firet cards of Mcaars.
Toomb* and Brown, which bare already appeared
iu print, wherein the former accuse* the !a>ter ,of
being guilty of bribery and corruption connected
with'he‘•Mitchell Claim Caae’’nnd in which the
a tier denies the statement and denounce* Toombs
asan “unscrupulous liar.*’ The public ia ail qi.'ivite
to know how the difficulty will terminate.
From the Ex-Obief Justice's card, one would bo
ed to suppoeo that he meant “fight,” but from the
card of Col. Nicholls, which we also publish, tit ap
pears that the latter gentleman and Gov. Brown, die
agree as to the converaaiion which passed between
them on thefilh iust.
Wo have uo comments to off.r nor charge* to
make, hut beiug indiff reut wo retire in the
backgrounds until the smoke is past.

The Georgia Legislature met in Atlanta, on the
J7th mat.., and, if wc may ho allowed to judge by
the largo number of bills preaented on the flrat
‘ ‘call of tho counties, ’’ organized promptly, and set
the law making machine earnestly to work. Among
(he hilla offered, wo notice several of loth general
and sectional interest. Os tho latter class, our
owu Represent..live, Hon, a. V, Stovall, presented
tho following:
To Consolidate the offices of Clerk of the Supe
rior Court and Treasurer of Mehluffio county; to
authorize tho Ordinary of MoDnffio county to is
sue and negotiate bonds; to appoint a committee
to report a bill in relation to tho apportionment of
R iprrscntitUvos of the Gonorel Assembly ; also, to
change the tima.uf holding t,Uo Superior Courts for
McDuffluo and Columbia counties.
Tho Governor's message was received, read, nnd
refcrred'to the appropriate committees. Wo shall
publish tho message outiro iu our next issue, and
will, therefore, only say hero that it is an able, dig
nilied State document, altogether worthy of the
hea l and heart of oua Governor.
Our space, of o nirso, will preclude tho possibil
ity of our publishing tho whole miss of liuNinoss
that will lie hr eight forward for the deliberation of
the General Assembly. Wo must, therefore, eon*
lent ourselves by publishing suelt matter as
shall reooivo tho final endorsement of tho Legisla
ture and such hills as actually become laws.
CSrcoley «ifc Homo.
ASi uthera Democratic paper a Georgia Dcm
oerattO paper -publishes tho following item -lead
ed-—and so far as wo aro able to judge, rolls it as a
sweet morsel under its tongue. Tim same paper a
few days ago devoted a considerable space to tho
praise of Miss Greeloy, the daughter of the re
doubtable Horace. While wo have no word to say
against Nly* Greeloy in any manner whatever, we
can hut this pa riling of. the young la
dy’s name before tho country in the columns of
newspapers. It is iu bad taste, nnd if tlio lady in
quostion has ouo particle of maidenly modesty in
hor composition, her cheek must tingle with shame
when her eye falls upon one of those fulsome par
agraphs. Miss Greeley is not a Candidate for Proa
dontial honors, neither was sho made tlio Domom
ocratio candidate by the Baltimore Convention, and
we tliink it would bo in good taste to loavo her
name out of the electioneering schemes of tho day.
But to the item, It runs thus :
“The World saya tho Southern delegates to Bal
timore, who visitod Mr. Greeley at Chappaqna.
were charmed with his frank, miuily ami cordial
demeanor, and said all that is required is for
Southern people to know him, and they will sup
port him unanimously,"
Bali I Do Democratic papers expect to further
the political internets of Greeloy by flaunting such
paragraphs as this one before the Southern peo
ple ? Does not a very small amount of knowl
edge of human nature learn them that every man
who haa any aelfrospeot will become disgusted at
such truculent syoophaney rather than impressed
with a fooling of admiration ? Because Greoloy
did not kiok these despised rebels, who huiuby
visited hitu, off bis plantation, they come homo
with hearts full to overflowing with gratitude for
him who luts spent a life-time in working their
ruin I And yet, it is insinuated that tho Southern
people do not know him! God grant wo never
may! Verily, a milo of leaven seems to work
wonders.
Demoorut it* Mnotintj.
In pursuance to a call by tho Chairman of the
Exeoutivo Committee, tho Democratic party of
McDuffie county met at tho court house on Satur
day last, the 20th iust.
Owing to tlio absence of tho Chairman, oil mo
tion of Paul C. Hudson, Esq., Capt. Win. Johnson
mis call to the eliair, and H. C. ltoney, Esq., re
quested to act as Secretary.
The Chairman on taking his seal briefly explain
ed the object of the meeting to bo tire appointment
of delegates to the Gubernatorial Convention, to
be held in Atlanta on the'Jtth iust.
Ou motion of Paul C. Hudson, Esq., tho follow

Resolved, That the Chairman appoint a com
mittee of five to draft and prepare bus
iness for the me itiug, and to nominate eight del
egates with power to appoint their own alter

tlio coming Presidential campaign.
The Chair appointed tho following gentlemen :
Paul C. Hudson, Esq., Col. M. C. Pulton, Jona

After a brief absence the Committee reported
tho following resolutions which were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, Iu both the coming State and county
elections tire unity of the Democratic Party upon
its Platform of principles recently enunciated by
the Convention held in Atlanta is essential to
sucoess;
Resolved, That we implore our people to lay
aside oil differences as to men or their opinions,
growing out of tho present National Party policy
and that our election for Kith State and county
officers Vie made regardless of the opinion they en
tertain as to tho action of the late Convention
held in Baltimore.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting
that the present incumbent, Hon. James M. Srn ith
is justly entitled to renomination for the office he
now so ably and honestly fills.
Resolved, That while we send delegates to the
Convention nninstrncted, this meeting cannot re
frain from earnestly recommending them to cast
| the rote of McDuffie as a unit for the renomina
tion of James M. Bmitb.
Resolved, That John R. Wilson, George P.
Stovall, James B. Neal, Josephus Hillman, M.
C. Fulton, John E. Smith, John H. Scott, and
E. A. Sturges, bo appointed delegates to the Con*

ings of this meeting lie published in thu Atlanta
Sun. Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel and the Mc-
Duffie JotjßNAn.

From the Atlanta Sun,
Gon. Toombe’ Reply to tlio
Curd of Ex-Governor
Brown.
Washington, Ga., July 11, 1872.
To the Editors of the Sum A brace
of ex-Chief-Justices, of this State, hon
ored me with their notice and vitupera
tion in the Constitution of the 3d instant.
There were a trio of these chevaliers
d’industrie engageJ in the transactions
reffered to. The third member of tha
firm (Mr, If. I. Kimball) is absent from
tho State, I suppose, ‘from circumstan
ces beyond his control.’ 'These assaults
excite no surprise.
Since the adjournment of that band of
public plunderers whom Geueral Terry
and Bullock instullc 1 as the Legislature
of Georgia in October, 1870, I have de
voted much of my time and strength in
endeavoring to secure the persons of
these accomplices in guilt and to pre
serve the evidence of their crimes from
destruction, until ths criminal laws
could be enforced against them, and a
‘free parliament of the people’ could
assemble to aid the administration of
justice, and wrest from the grasp of the
spoilers so much of their ill-gotten
gains as might be within the reach of
law or legislation.
These efforts have not been wholly
unavailing and 1 trust I have been able
to render some small service to some of
the very able and efficient committees
whom the Legislature have charged
with tho consummation of the great
work. My small portion of tho work
has excited the deepest enmity of the
whole gang of spoiliators against me.
I accept it as some evidence that I have
not labored wholly in vain.
It is worthy of notice in the begin
ning, that not a single statement made
by me in the publication to which they
refer, is denied by either Loch nine or
Brown. They do not deny that
they, in connection with Kimball, en
gineered through the Legislature the
resolution ceding tho Railroad' Park
property in Atlanta, in the name Os the
heirs Mitchell; nnr that the Legislature
accepted thirty five thousand dollars
from.their clients in the face of a respon
sible offer of one hundred thousand
dollars for a quit claim deed to the same
property; nor that this action of the
Legislature was the result of bribery,
pure and simple; nor that the accept
ance t)f the thirty-five thousand dollars
in lieu of tho one humired thousand dol
lars offered under tho circumstances con
tained in the journals, is conclusive of
that fact. Here aro the specific char
ges contained in my letter, and proof
refered to, to sustain them.
I shall dismiss the reply of Lochrane
very summarily. Treacly, mendaci
ty, venality, servility to Bullock and
the Radical gang, rottenness in and out
of oilico since the surrender, has so
stamped his character, that nothing he
could now- say—no new falsehood he
might utter, ana no new crime he
might now commit would, in the least
degree, affe t his public reputation or
his private character where he is known.
lie boasts of buyiug a largo portion
of the park property, and large amounts
expended in its improvement, when I
know that since that purchase, if pur
chase it be, he has been compromising
his houest debts for about thirty cents
in the dollar; and if the money for the
improvements came out of his purse,
it must have been acquired by his prac
tiees under color of his profession, or
his mal-practices on the Bench.
Ex-Chief Justice Brown denies nei
ther of these statements which I affirm
ed. He contents himself with quoting
from my letter, and then adding: ‘Now
il General Toombs, by this language,
intends to say that I have been guilty
of bribery in engineering this bill
through tlie Legislature, L pronounce
his statemeut an infamous falsehood and
its author an unscrupulous liar.’
He quoted the language, and there
fore knew I did not ‘say’ so. If he felt
in doubt about the intention—the con
struction of tiio language—he might
have asked for an explanation. The
propriety of this course is so obvious
that no gentlemen could fail to per
ceivo it. Brown prefered hypothetical
denunciation, the usual dodge of a vul
gar poltroon, and played his charicter
istic role. He is extremely technical:
‘if General Toombs intends by this
language that l have been guilty of
bribery in engineering this bill through
the Legislature,’ etc. I think the proba
bilities are very much against Brown’s
being personally engaged in the bribery,
j I think he is too cunning and skillfull
| a lobbyist to uin any such uutiecesaty
risks, especially with such experts as
Kimball and Lochrane, aided by Blod
gett, assisting him in the work of engin
eering the bill through the Legislature.
The plain history of the case, and the
examination of the journals of the Leg
islature (the evidence to which I refer
red) will fully vindicate the correctness
of the transaction.
In 1842, Charles Mitchell, with the
view to secure the location of the depot
of the road on his land, donated, in fee
simple, by deed of warranty, five acres
of land to the State for ‘placing thereon
the necessary buildings which may
hereafter be required for public purpo
sesat the terminus of said road.’ Tte
State entered, occupied and held undis
turbed possession of this property for
nearly a quarter of a century.
In 1867, Brown & Pope brought suit
for the heirs of Mitchell for the park
portion of the property. No action
was ever had on this suit; but in 1868,
the case was carried before the Legisla
ture, and the claim rejected. It there slept
until Bullock got another reconstruction
act through Congress, and he and Gen
eral Terry had, by fraud and forco, eject
ed a large number of the taM'-rapTescn
tatives of the people, and replaced them
with a sufficient number of his own pli
ant and corrupt tools to render power
less the honest men whom he could get
no pretext for ejection.
The State being thus prostrate at the
feet of tho usurpers and plundeiers,
Bullock, their chief, with a corrupt
Judiciary of his own appiontrnent, with
a venal Legislature, sounded his bugle
and called his clans to the sacking of
the Commonwealth.
Lochrane was among the very first
to obey the call. In July, 1870, he
put in the rejected claim of the heirs of
Mitchell, in a proposition to Bullock,
to give him the whole of the properly
in dispute in the suits, except a strip of
luud two hundred and fortywide,
between Loyd and Pryor streets, where
the depot then and now stands, for
thirty-five thousand dollars. This prop
erty was estimated then to be worth
between three hundred thousand anJ
four hundred thousand dollars, by some
of the best citizens of Atjanta. The
proposition was referred by Bulloc/t to
the counsel he had employed to defend
the State’s interests. Mr. William
Dougherty, Judge Collier, Mr. Hoyt,
Judge Hopkins and Mr. Normally, of
the counsel, met, consulted, and ex
cept Nunnally, unamous’y decided that
tho title of the State was clear and un
quesliouahlc, and directed one of their
number so to report to tho Governor.
Judge Hopkins differs with Messrs.
Dougherty, Collier and Hoyt as to the
other facts, but agrees thatxhe title of
tho State was clear.
Bullock sent in Lochrane’s proposi
tion, with a falst statement, as was his
habit, of a material fact in the case.—
This message was received on the 13th
of October, IS7O, referred to a select
committee of both houses the same day,
and on the next day was reported back
with a recommendation that Lochrane’s
proposition be accepted. The counsel
for the State had no notice of tho meet
ing of tho committee, and were not
present, except Nunnally, who favored
Lochran’s proposition, and Judge Hop
kins, who suggested to Bullock a com
promise, ‘on such terms as the relatives
vantage ground of the two parties will
justify.’ Lochrane represented the
Mitchell heirs.
This report was made the special or
der of the day for the 17tfi oi October.
It was taken up on that day. Mr. Can
dler, on the 14th, having moved to re
quest the Governor to send in the opin
ions of the counsel for the State, his
resolution, on motion of Mr. Speer,
was laid on the table, t
On the 17th Mr. Candler moved a
substitute reciting the offer of General
Austell and others, to bid one hundred
thousand dollais for a quit claim to the
Park, and providing for its acceptance
and putting the property up at auction
with that upset bid.
Mr. Bradley offered as a substitute
to the whole a resolution to give the
heirs of Mitchell the right to sue in the
courts of the State for the property,
which substitute was rejected, and the
substitute of Mr. CandtftHH'SS"filso re
jected by one vote, and the report was
then adopted by 22 to 11 votes.
The chairman of the House Commit
tee, on the 4th of October, made the
same joint report to the House. It
was taken up on the 26th, and Mr.
Hall moved the adoption of the Senate's
report as a substitute for bis own.
Mr. Scott then submitted the offer of
General Austell and twelve other citi
zens of Atlanta, to pay one hundred
thousand dollars for the State’s quit
claim deed to the property within nine
ty days after date ; and offered a resolu
tion providing for commissioners to put
up the property at public auction ; and
providing further, that if tho commis
soners failed to get a bid of one hun
dred thousand dollars for a qait claim
title to the property, the Governor
should be authorized to accept the pro
position of the Mitchell heirs for thirty
five thousand dollars. This proposition
was rejected by a vote of 49 to 73, and
the Senate’s sobs itute was adopted.
Such is the record upon which I
formed the opinion that the action was
the result of bribery, pure and simple.
I did not suppose that all who voted
for the bil! were corrupted. Some men
Were doubtless misled. Others, influ
enced by other than corrupt motives,
but it is clear that the managero of the
scheme of plunder profited by their be
trayal of their public trust,
The record is complete. The State’s
title was settled by the judgement o
the Supreme Court; was clear and inf
disputable, in the opinion of four of the
leading counsel of the State,
Their opinions were suppressed by 'a
direct vote of the Senate. The friends
of the bill refused to permit the claims
to go before the courts for trial, though
counsel fees to the amount of fifteen
thousand dollars Were paid to defend
the titles. Thirty-five thousand dol
lars was accepted from the Mitchell
hefts for a property In lieu of one hun
dred thousand dollars offered by others,
without the pretence of a reason there
for being found on the record—except
Jackson’s letter to Bullock—which
property, within a few days after the
consummation of this wickedness, with
aU the cloud of this corruption hanging
over it, bought at public outcry over
two hundred thousand dollars.
Oov. Brown does not deny that he
aided in lobbying this measure through
the Legislature. lie was present in
the Senate when the bill was before it,
as was also Lochrane, Kimball and
Blodgett ; and he was justly rebuked
on the floor of the Senate by Mr. Can
dler fcr his conduct in this matter.
Lobbying is a crime—a misdemean
or at common law ; a crime intensified
by his high judicial position.
But there is yet a still graver charge
than lobbying against tho ex-Chits Jus
tice. Before these occurred, the case
of Thornton and others, vs. Trammel
and others, came before the Supreme
Court. It was a case really against the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, and the
Dalton depot, and involving the same
principles. The counsel for the Road
objected to Brown’s sitting in that case,
on the ground that he was emptoyed in
the Mitchell heirs’ case, which was Jun
decided. See 39th Georgia, 208.
Brown stated ‘that in that case, the
language of the deed is different, and
I hare turned over the case with the
lion of the fee to the other counsel.
Under these circumstances,’ he was ad
judged by the other Judges competent
to sit on the case.
He did sit, dissented from the court,
but gave no opinion. He weakened
the opinion all he could by his dissent,
but gave no opinion himself-
Was that statement of Brown true f
If so, he either had no claims on the
Mitchell heirs for fees, or lie afterwards
contracted for and accepted fees while
on the Bench. If not true, he sat in a
cast; iu tho decision of whidli he was
interested, and decided in his own fa
vor.
It is a high crime in the highest ju
dicial officer of the Stßte to bring his
influence to bear in any way to control
the action of the Legislature. Ills very
position may control those who have
suits before him. The ordinary crimi
nal may be in his hands. He may have
power to save from just punishment for
his crimes even the victim of his own
perfidious debauchery. R. Toombs.
To tlio PubUc.
Atlanta, Ga., July 17, 1872-
Editors Constitution: As General
Toombs has thought proper to appear
again in print betore the public, while
a personaf issue was pending between
him and me, I have a very simple reply
for him. In this card dated IDA instant,
and published on the 16/A he refers to me,
as resorting to the usual bodge of a vul
gar poltroon.
This man, having been branded by
me as an unscrupulous liar, fancied per
haps, that he had sufficient courage to
defend his personal honor, or perhaps
he thought he could safely play the
role of a bully. Accepting, therefore,
the position of the injured party, and
feeling no little concern about my
church relations, he sent a friend to me
to inquire if I held myself amenable to
the code of honor. I replied as fol
lows ;
Colonel J. C. Nicholts entered my
office, on the morning of the 9th instant,
and said, ‘I desire to see you a moment
privately,’ when the following conver
sation occurred :
Nicholls —‘I have come in behalf of
General Toombs to make an inquiry of
you.’
Brown—‘Well, sir, I will hear you.’
Nicholls—‘On accountof your church
relations, General Toombs does not
know whether you hold yourself ame
nable to the code, and while I anmit
this is an irregular proceeding, in be
half of Geu. Toombs, I make the in
quiry.’
Brown—‘lt seems to me, this coarse
is extraordinary. General Toombs has
nothing to do with my church relations,
ilf lie desires to send me a communica
| tion, I am ready to receive it at any
I moment. I have conferred with a
friend who does not reside in Atlanta,
I but I will telegraph him at once, and
respond to a communication, it made,
after referring it to him, without un
reasonable delay. Are you General
I Toombs’ friend in this matter?’
Nicholls —‘I am not, in that sense.—
I expect to have nothing whatever to
do with the matter. I only come to
make thi3 inquiry, at Gen. Toombs’
suggestion. He may desire a little
time, as he will have to get a friend
who resides out of the State, for he
does not wish to complicate his friends
in the State.*
Brown—‘l shall not trouble persans
out of the State. I have a friend in
the State who will serve me.’
Nicholls—‘l would like to know
whether you hold yourself bound by
the Code V
Brown—‘Say to General Toombs dis
tinctly that I am ready to receive any
communication that he desires to send,
and if I don’t respond properly, he
knows his remedy.’
Nicholls —‘What I have done in this
instance is simply an act of friendship
to Gen. Toombs, because he requested
it. I expect to ta£e no part in any un
pleasant affair between you and him.’
Brown—‘Say to Gen. Toombs I hold
myself ready to give him any satisfac
tion which I may be due him, or to
which he is entitled as a gentleman.’
This language is in General Toombs’
possession in writing, over my own sig
nature. To be certain that he received
it as uttered, it was sent to him, on
the 10th, after he left Atlanta, by the
first express to his home at Washington.
This code-of-honor gentleman left
Atlanta the day after this language was
uttered. He lesponded in the newspa
pars. I leave the public to judge who
who is the paltroon, and whether Gen
eral Toombs preferred newspaper artille
ry to heavier metal.

Atlanta, July IS, 1572.
General Robert Toombs, Atlanta, Ga. :
Dear General —A card is published,
this morning, in the Sun and the Con
stitution, over the signature of Joseph
E. Brown, which purports to give the
verbiage of a conversation had with me
on the 9th instant.
This statement of the conversation is
substantially untrue.
Governor Brown states that he was
advised to see me ‘and have me to agree
in writing what occurred.’ He failed
to follow the advice. He lias not ap
proached me on the subject.
As Governor Brown has seen fit to
pursue this extraordinary eourse, I leel
that it is due to you and to myself, that
you publish my statement of the con
versation. Sincerely your freind,
Jno. C. Nicholls,
A statement of the material facts of a con
versatbn hiul with Joseph E. Grown, oh
the 9th instant.
I said ; ‘I call on you in behalf of
Gen. Toombs, to ascertain if you are
responsible in the way usual among
gentlemen, for the language contained
iu your card of a recent date ?’
He replied, ‘I am responsible for my
language.’
I then said, ‘Gen. Toombs desires to
know if you will give him satisfaction
under the code. If he should address a
note to you, demanding a meeting, will
you meet him ii the usual way V
I explained that, whilst the inquiry
was perhaps made in an informal man
ner, yet it was thought to be warrant
ed by his well known position in the
church. To this he bowed assent and
auswered :
‘lt Gen, Toombs addresses me a
note, I will consult with a friend, and
then reply to it I will answer your in
quiry when he submits it in writing.’—
He declined to answer the question
more directly.
In my opinion, from the language
and manner of Governor Brown, he
will decline to answer the inquiry iu
the affirmative, if submitted by you in
writing. I am impressed with the
conviction that it is his purpose to use
a formal call, to your injury, under the
constitution of this State.
[Signed] Jno C. Nicholls.

Atlanta, July 20, 1^72.
Editors of the Daily Sun : I have read
the card of Col. Nicholls, published in
your paper yesterday. Between him
and myse’f there seems to be a conflict
of memory, as to the verbiage and pur
port of the interview. But Gen. Toombs
cannot shield his poltroonery in that
way, for he could not mistake the lan
guage over my own signature, sent him
by Express, and doubtless received by
him before he penned his last card,
published five days afterwatds.
Col. Nicholls, in his card, referring
to my own of the previous day, says :
‘Gov. Brown states that he was advised
to see me, ‘and have me to agree in
writing what occurred.’ This state
ment nowhere appears in my published
card but it does appear iu a memoran
dum appended to my revision of the in
terview, which was sent to General
Toombs by express. The proof is con
clusive, therefore, that my written
statement was received by General
Toombs.
The verbal report of a conversation
would never be the guide to a proud,
brave man, as to what his honor de
manded, when he had in writing before
him the pledge that he would receive,
if he called for it, the satisfaction due a
gentleman.
