"Yonis, respectfully,
‘‘JkTTERBON Davis."
Mr. Davis stated in formal conversation
with a representative of the Picayune, and
not for pnblioation, that the views express-
ed in this spnrions letter are precisely the
reverse of thoso actually entertained by
him. The troops in the Union army were
all mustered into the Federal service. The
States, as snob, had no troops in the war,
and consequently all military stores and
and trophies captured became the property
of the general government, and snbjoot to
the control aid disposition cf Congress
only. Confederate flogs had from time to
time been returned to Southern States by
Northern legislatures and various military
associations. There was in reality no
authority nnder law for these acts of
courtesy, bat tho matter was con
sidered of no material importance and the
question was never raised until the issuance
of the recent order by Mr. Cleveland. Mr.
Davis declared that he had resisted all of tbo
attempts of newspapers to interview him on
this subject, and wonld have remained
silent bnt for this remarkable and nniqne
sttindle, which he denounced, over end
over, in general and detail, as falee In every
respeot.
A REPLY TO TAX PAYER.
Ex-Governor Bullock Points Oat Errors In
Ills Statements.
Editor TBLEMiArn: Yonr paper of the
231 contains another communication from
•Tax payer," in which the bond question is
abandoned entirely, and a line of personal
attack on me is substituted.
If I did not have yonr editorial assurance
of the r,.l: tbit “T.tx-I ayer" wiu "one cf
the most gifted writers and purest patriots
in Georgia" there wonld bo no jnstifloation
for me in taking notice of this lost effusion
of your correspondent. No fair-minded
person would expect me to notice the stars
of a correspondent wbo is without the eonr-
ago to subscribe bis own proper name, and
it is only in deference to the high character
yen announce for him that I cow stop to
point ont one ot two instances in his com
munication of misquotation and unsup
ported assertion.
“Tax-payer” says; “He (referring to me)
may take oomfort in the fact that preceding
officials signed bonds illegally, therefore be
followed their example.” I have made no
snob statement, and do not thns take oom
fort.

resigned.’’ What I did say, as you Hr. edi
tor know, was tbat after my resignation it
wbb moro agreeable for me to spend si
luueh time a* possible in New York State.
I did not give that as a reason for my resig.
nation and my language is not bob
eeptible of tbat construction. The
reasons for my resignation were
givin in a letter to the pnblio published at
the time. Those reasons were well founded,
sndtl have no disposition to now change the
opinion then expressed. I retired from tho
exeentive office to defeat. political conspir

revolutionary methods, and waa in a meas

was nothing in them to my discredit, and
they are eternally dead.
It is true tbat Governor Smith sent his
official nqn sition throngh Colonel Fitz-

being "Offloially requested to reepond to

had previously met Governor Smith, Attor

Sneed and Cal. Kibbee, at their request in

the ^requisition conld have boon legally

to oome to Georgia, believing that tbe offi

A gentleman wbobasbadeomscxperience
with rattieenakes was speaking a day or two
ego abont the habits of the reptile. "Few

there is a good de. 1 of nnneocssary fear re

The Hon. N. J. Hammond was Attorney-
General of Georgia when I presented myself
here for trial. Does "Tax-payer"—yonr

yours, Mr. Editor, daro aaxert that I "pnt

tried the Hon. George Hltljer presided in
tbe Snperior Conn as judge, and in each of
the thre e cases juries were bad composed of
Gtorgians of uniupeaebed character, all
white men and Democrats, many of whom
are still living. Does yonr valued corres
pondent dare ehaige that all these, or any
of them, were "rotten Democrats,” and
that my acquittal and vindication was
"put up jo*'."
No, Mr. Editor, yonr corrsapendent will
not dare to charge this even behind the safe
refnge of a fictitious notn de plnmt>.

A Reward for Michigan Jumpers,
The manager* of Bellevue Park, at Pitta-
bnrg, recently bought seven fine deer in
Michigan, and had them shipped to the
K k, where a nice big yard, with a eeiea-
t fence, was waiting for them. Tbe
boxes were earefnlly placed in the yard and
opened end the animals came ont one by
one. Then the biggest deer turned her
targe, dreamy eyee toward tha aevan-foot
fence, and in a moment made for it, fol
lowed by tbe other six. Those who were
present vers wining to swear that th*
draemy-eyed animal leaped twenty-five feat
high over the fence if ib* cleared it at all,
and she certainly cleared it, as did the
other eix. A reward is uow offered for the
Michigan jumpers.
