As I have bceu dragged into the discussion of this question contrary to my expecta tions and wishes I propose now briefly as possible, to give tbe bottom facts, that the public may know how to appreciate Mr. Speer’s fierce as sault upou the “Gwinnett Grand J ury.” lie predicates his claims to this money upon the ground that there is due him upon his insolvent list in this county $800. “This,” lie says, in his letter above referred to, “had been granted to mo and to my pred ecessor, Col. Wm. L. Marler, (whose insolvent list I purchased) by the or ders of the Judge of the Superior ,Ctiuri. * * * The law is that, the lien ol the office’s actually discharge in i the duties of the offiue, should be paid from this fine and forfeiture fund, in preference to the claims of all previous incumbents of the offices of Clerk, Solicitor, Sheriff, etc.” The law does provide that the incumbents of these offices shall be paid their res pective costs, which accrue during their terms of office, out of the funds brought into court daring their tenns, to the exclusion of their prede cessors. If, however, the incumbents of the office have received all this in solvent costs which have actually ac crued during their term of office, and there is a surplus fund abovo this, then sucli excess goes to the extin guishment of the insolvent costs of prior officera. When Mr. Speer pur chased Mr. Marler's insolvent list he wai simply subrogated to Marler’s rights. Marler certainly had no pri or lien on the insolvent fund to that ofthe Clerk, Sheriff, etc., who were in the office at the time he was, bat could only share prorata with those officers. Now Mr. Speer, before he received the $350 upon tbe Frasier bond, had been paid more than all his insolvent cost which accrued dur ing his term. In substantiation of this assertion I quote from the offi cial repoit of the committee last re ferred to, and which is an official doo uraent, of file in the office ofthe Clerk of tbe Superior Court, via: “The Clerk has paid Emo ry Speer, former SoL Gen., as per receipt on bis insolv ent list, np to Dec. Adjourn* ed Tetm 1875, $1720,50 “His said insolvent list amounts to $1684,57 Deducted from amounts received leaves in his hands ovtr paid insolvent list, ■ «To which add amount received on Frasier's and own handwriting and ^is own signature—indirectly, tbat only half of the fund in $is hands arising from the . Ffa^ey bond belongs to him, via: $175.-/ The fol lowing is an exact copy of a receipt entered by Mr. Speer and signed by him, in the official book of rccoj-d 5| oj insolvent cos^s: Sept. 18 th, 1874.

Emory Speer.’’ . If Mr Speer considered all this $350 legally and' properly his, why did be not receipt, on the record, for the whole amount, instead of for half ofit? It would have been just ns easy. Mark you, it will not do to say that Mr. Vanghan—the the^. Clerk— may have the other half, hecausq M^, Speer admits in his letter,. hereipbc?, fore referred to, in the .

He haa the costa due the Clerk for issu ing tlie scire facias, eta, and of tho- Sheriff for serving it. Does this be long to him also ? Bnt suppose the whole amount does belong to him, was it not his du ty to receipt on the record for it, that * the account might life property credit ed? As it now atauds, lie hits the money, and yet his insolvent ‘ list is ibi*-irtnch lteger than it ought*to-ffe. It would Lake a debtor a long time to pay off a note if credit were not al lowed him for his payments, and his paper kept open and unsatisfied. The Watchman wants to know If I will charge Mr. Speer with be*ng a thief. Mr. Speer ar.d I have discus sed this question together, publicly, upon four different' occasions, -and I gave he people substantially the views herein expressed. They,* I know, did not consider that I charged him with stealing this money, or in* tending to do so, nor did Mr.. Speer so think. Oil the contrary, I would be doing both Mr. Speer and myself injustice were I to f til to state here, that I do not regard him as dishpnost and that I cannot believe ho ever in tended to wi'ODg his official associates by his conduct in this matter. I have never done more, either l>y word or thought, than to attribute the unfor tunate situation in which he has placed himself in this transaction, to his carelessness and neglect of official duty.

He had just proposed, and she didn’t seem to respond very heartily. “Oh, say you will accept me! Say you will havo me, Tilly! You don’t know how mnch I love you. I never loved any other woman but you.” “Never any but me, Mr. Busby ?” “ Never, never, never! You are my first and only love P* “ Why, Mr. Busby, I have heard that you have been cugaged eight times already.’’ Eight times, darlingWhat a wicked slander! I have been engaged only five times, I pledge you my word of honor.” And didn’t you love any of tho ladies? 1 ’ “Well, now, I’ll explain to,you how it was. The first, yop. know, ble to dream that I ate the colored girl,and dm said die couldn’t help it; the bad impression was just the same She could not bear tbe idea of marry ing a man whom she would never see without thinking of that cannibal with wings, so I broke off that en gagement, too. Hanged if I believe Julia Dobson ever really loved me!” “Who did you say the next one was?” JLet’s see; M’Cosh, Peabody, Dobson—Dobson—oh, yes! The next was Bertie Magruder. I never kne w exactly what to make ot that girl. She declared that she was fond of me, but she insisted that I ongbt to help her and her mother with the house cleaning. So for the first three days after we were ^engaged I was washing windows, scrubbing floors, and mashing my fingers with the tack-hammer, trying to put down carpets. It struck me as a mighty queer way for a girl to express her tender feelings for a man; but they ore a peculiar family. One day I stepped in a bucket of soap-suds and pset it ou the parlor carpet, and old '‘Magruder, her father, you know, was so mad that he said if I didn’t leave the house he would pitch me out of the window. Bertie said it would serve me right if he did; so I conoiU' ded maybe her love-light, so to speak, had flickered out, and I handed in my resignation. “ How about the fifth ?” “Oh, that was Nancy Bannister. I flow to her in despair, because I felt so badly about the Magruders. I was never really engaged to her. She accepted me conditionally. Said she would have me when I made a for tune. I began boring for oil in our back yard the next morning, but b&« fore I’d got down ten feet she sent me word that she’d accepted another man; some kind ot an officer in tbe marine corps, I think.
