Special Dinpfitch to Tlid€oiutituUon.
Washington, April 27.—Since the
Constitution announced, on good aus
thority, a few Weeks ago, that ‘Mr.
Stephens had determined -to retire
from public life, he has been con
stantly receiving from friends here
and in'Goorgia remonstrances against
such a.-resolution. As the guberna
torial campaign approached, without
taking any definite sh.pe, these im
portunities have increased:until now
every day brings its supply. To night
I said to him :
‘‘Mr. tho people of Geor
gia do not seem disposed to allow you
to relire.’'
“I don’t know.” said bo. “I re
ceived a great many letters on t Hp sub
ject, more I think than I ever rceiv
ed on any question before. Ti.ey
carjio from my own district and from
others, and from all pails of the
Stale. They came from organized
•Democrats, from new movement men
and from Republicans:”
“VVliftt is the tenor of those let.
ters ?” I asked,
“They do not insist so much on.my
returning to Congress as ou <my ma
kiug the race for Governor. They
urge ine for many reasons to do so.
They seem to believe that certain
troubles are threatened, which I might
assist in averting, and that some dis
sensions exist in the Democratic parly
which I might help to heal. In fact,
,1 have been assured by men on whose
judgement I can rely that Chore is a
general wish among the people of
Georgia that I should be a candidate
for Governor.”
‘‘.How have you answered these let
•tors and assurance TANARUS”
“How could I, expect ns I answer
ed a friend who wrote the other day
and asked me if my resolution to re*
tire was irrevocable and inexoraclo f
I wrote him that I thought no public
mun had a right to eay that. JJo
ought to be at all times at. tho com.
unand ot his people, if it lay in his
power to serve them.”
“What would prevent you from an
awering a call of the people -to the of
fice of Governor
“A. great deail depends on my
health. I am an old man, and though
I havo been long in public life,
mv balmiest and most profitable
years were those that passed between
my rtsignatii.n in 1859 and the be
ginning of the war. My sincere pur
pose wns to retire from pubiic life at
the eud ol my present term in con
gress, but I cannot tell what shape
things may take. It may be my duty
to continue the public labors I would
have lain down for peace of private
life."
“Suppose your health continues
about like it is now, and there is a
goneral wish to havo you enter the
gubernatorial canvass, will you not
deem it your duly to do so t’’
“With my present state of health
there iso imperious reason why 1
should not. When I resigned in 18J9.
I expected to spend the remnent o’
my days in private life, but there was
a demand iVoin my people that I should
go to Montgomery to the Provision
l CongroßS, and I thought it was my
duty to go and serve them the best I
could, though I foresaw the dirk
days surely coming.”
The streams ot vis'tors constantly
pouring into the great Georgian’*
room interrupted the conversa
tion. As to his heal'h, if I were to
judge by appearance, I should any

People’in Any Event.
In order that all sides of the quea
tion may be clearly understood, and as
a matter of news to the’readers of the
Post Appeal, we publish the follow
ing, as it appeared in (he Cousutu
lion. We armnot ifraid to republish
a. me things from that paper. We do
no|, however, concur with Gen. Gar
trell in his views aa'here-expressed,
especially about tho mass meeting.
Though Gen. Garlrell may be tbe
•choice and candidate of tbe mass,
meeiing’here on fhe first of June : |
“Yesterday a representative Of the,
Constitution called upon Gen. Gar
trrll and asked him if he had read
Mr Si c| hen’s interview with the
Constitution’s Washington corres
pondent, | üb.ished yesterday mor
ning, 'Gen, Garlrell replied :
“Mr. Stephens having been so of
ten foi eeveral months past repot led:
lo have staled that he would not be
a candidate for Governor, !l .confess
my surprise at the course he seems
now to have marked out lor him elf.
When he slated as reported hereto
tore, .that at the end of his present
ierin in congress he iinfended to re
tire to private life, I acted in pari
upon that understanding of his posi
lion, and have, as you know publicly
announced my name as an independ.
ent Democra.ic candidate for govern
or, and my friends of all parties
throughout the State expect me t -
continue in the race. J have .never
scrambled for office, but have hereto
fore, as is known, yielded (to others
when anything like a heated or exci
ting contest seem to be impending. I
do not wish to be understood as com
plaining should Mr Stephens, for
whom I entertain the highest person
al regard, become also an Independ
ent candidate for governor. This of
fice, as sill others, 'belongs to the peo
and ithoy have the right to select from
their fell >w citizens whomsoever they
deem best qualified to administer the
government lor them in their interest
alone.”
“Will this announcement of Mr
Stephen's probable candidacy drive
yon from fhe track ?”
“Ii will not. As one of the people I
am always more than willing for them
to select their own servants and
agents, and should they prefer Mr.
Stephens or anyone ese to myself
for the office in question, they will so
deoide at the ballot box. If satisfied
of their preference for another I shall
never obtrude myself upon t tin in
opposition to w'hat I understand to
he itvcir wishes fairly and honestly
expressel.”
“Do you understand that the mass
meeting of the Independent or Liber
al party called for the first day of
,/iine was intended to iKMiii’Jbiu or
I ul forward candidates for any office
“I do not so understand. But on
the contrary supposed it wss for tin
sole purpose of giving additional
impetus to the new movement in
Georgia, as to nominate, by caucus or
mass meeting when only a ( mall por
tion of the people are rt presonted is
inconsistent with my idea ot Inde
pendentisin and the great right of
the whole people to have a voioe and
a choice iu the aeleo ion of their offi
oera and representatives. I have
never expected that the mass meet
ing to wh'cli you refer would take
any such action.’’
“Then general you expect to nuke
the race lor governor without regard
to the action of emeu-ses atm ooti
