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 he was as well to-night as when I saw him 22 years ago slumpingGeor gia w ith Mephen A. Dougins. Washington, D C., May 3—The contest lor the Attorne\ship of the new Georgia Judical District appears to lav between Charles ,/bhnsnn, of Grittin, and Prof, l'sh-y, of Macon. It is stated here that tlie latter has Gen. Longstreel’s endorsement, be* ■idea other influ* neisl backing, lie Live* at Home Mr. E B.

He raises all hia own supplies and sells several thoui wind pounds of meat every year, be* sides a large quantity of, wheat and oats.

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 vent ions ?” "1 do; and I so stated in an inter view published in (lie month ot Feb ruary last My purpose has not changed and 1 am daily laoeiviqg let ters and personal appeals .from t ic(med friends all over the State nr ling me to continue my candidacy ” VARIETY WORKS, sim iimt J • • 114.
