From the letter signed "Sherwood," dated
Uacon, and rccenUy published in the Clneln
nsU Inquirer, we take th« following:
“II certainly cannot bo that all inch Items
u the above are not mthUahed because of the
rawardl'-e of ihu editors ot the hlaeon papers,
hoboiydonbutht braver* of such men as
A' - rtl:. Umar, tho brilliant an 1 fearless

, duel. The place selected wu a point In Ala
bama near the border line. Col. Howell wu
•n th. spot at the appol n'e 1 Ume, hut Lamar
was breve s nongU to never show up."
Tho publication of this statement lesde us to
rtf red nee the following si tract from the At
lanta Post-Appeal of July 5, 1M3, the data upon
whleh A. R. Lamar and J. F. Hanson were
t placed under bond lo keep the peace. This to
dona for the pnrpoae of calling tho attenllon
. *1 tho public again to real torts In eonncctlun
with this affair.
MIIH
Hunt’ll MtUthts ••••* aiu SIAM istsas-
ested himself. Witness told him that if such
wu the case it would be best to arrest the
parties. Crape had written letters to all cou
i-ernvd. He acted as a peace officer and was
proceeding to carry out nls Intention when he
met W. O. Jones, who said be was looking (or
him; that be had hired a carriage toaomo men
who had gone to fight a duel. Witness had
road article In Constitution calculated to pro
voke a difficulty, and the general opluion waa
that one waa Imminent.
Cross-examined, the witness said he had
not heard from Henry Grady: did not go alter
Howell because Jones said Jackson had gone
out of town to meet him.
William O. Jones, the proprietor of a livery
ble, waa called and stated that Capt. Harry
Jackion came f"t a bugxy to go a snort dis
tance into the rolntry, alter witness had gone
to bed last night. One w,-a hired to him. and
a colored man went along with it. Captain
Jacason aald Howell wa* out of the city and
he was golog to Join him, but he wanted it
kept quiet; they were going to East Point
Witness then turned down the light in bis
office, and Capuio Jackson told him Howell
had a difficulty w th Lamar to settle.
•‘This closed the testimony. Governor Smith
urged that tbero never waa any purpose t«i
violate the peace of the State lie made a
strong protest against hl« own arrest at Mr.
Lowry’s instance, but added that it waa bit
own matter and he would know how to deal
with it.
“Jndge Hlllycr aald it was plain that tho
peace of the Htate required a bond. He there
upon required both prisoners p* give IS • 00
bond 'not to violate the peace of the Slate of
Georgia.' All tho parties left the court
room.”
The rost-Appeal’« reporter, speaking of tho
proceedings before Judge Hlllyer, says:
“Deputy Sheri IT Thomas, who swore out the
warrant and made the srrest,was the
ness called. He testified that action was
taken upon information obtained IromWn^
lux O. Joses ('mail-capitals ours) and
Robert J. Lowry. About 1 o’clocx this
morning, Jtut at the West Point train waa
about to leave, he arrested Albert R. Umar
and J. F. Hanson. He made search for the
others, Evan P. Howell and Harry Jackson,
•ending to East Point and Red Oak In his en
deavor to catch tho latter. Ho understood that
Jackson was In the city last evening, having
been aeen at the theatre, but lift by the roaa
in a conveyance.”
And again:
"Captain Couch, of the police force, who
assisted In the arrests, testified that bo got
his information from Alderraau Lowry, whom
be met at the corner of Pryor and the car
track, no had uo other knowledge of tho In
tended duel."
And again:
“William 0. Jones, the proprietor of a livery
stable was called and stated that Cant. Harry
Jackson came for a buggy lo go a short dis
tance into the country alter witness had gone
to bed last night. One was hired to him aud
acolond man went along with It. Capt. Jack-
said Howell was out of the city and he
got g to Join him. but he wanted it kept
t; they were going to East Point. Witness
son said Howell wi
wjjjM
turned down tneUghta in his office a r d Capt.
Jackson told him that Howell had a difficulty
with Lamar to settle."
The testimony was given In open court by
witness under oath. It will bo seen that Dep
uty Sheriff Thomas testified that his action
was taken from Information obtained from
Wm. O Jones and Robert J. Lowry: that Al
derman Lowry testified that “he was acting as
a peace office and was proceeding to carry «*ot
his Intention when he met W. O. Jones, who
said he was looking for him; that he bad hired
a carriage to some men who had gone to fight
a duel;" that W. 0. Jones testified that Cap
tain Jackson had told him that ho wanted a
a buggy to leave the city to go to the couutry
to Join Howell, who had a difficulty with
Lamar to settle.
It will bo seen that there Is not a particle of
evidence going to show that A. R. Umar, or
any of hla friends, ever imparted any Infor
mation to any one in reference to this mat-
Constitution, reproduced In the Pust-App««l of

Whether Lamar and Hanson were arrested
as the result of the Information thatCapraln
Jackion, Mr. Howell's second, gave to Jones,
the UverJ aUhle keeper, or col, the public
eea Judge for ttoelf. It cannot ho denied that
Jackson Informed Jones shoot what was going
on, wa anppoae, for the reason that the testl*
mongot Jones In open court, as reported In
the Poet-appeal, has never, so far as we are
advised, been celled In question.
Neither Mr. Lamar nor hla friends who were
with him In this affair have evtv made anj
effort to manufacture public opinion In refer
ence to it A due regard forth* proprieties of
a- ease, sk-r »« amicable adjustment of the
dlfflcnltj had been made, has earned them to
keep illent to the face of manj lelao and slan

These publications, and U>* farther fact that
the pnblle to entitled to the beet evidence that
could be obtained, to ourapologv and Justifica
tion for calling attention again to the s eon:
testimony of respectable witnesses In open
court touching this affair. Mr. Umar la not
responsible for those facta, nor the manner la
which thej were developed. They are not
reproduced with pleasure, but In the Interest
of troth and Justice.
The Atlanta Confititutlon of the 2t>th
of Febmarjr published the following
reply:
a riw rutiM woans.
In regard to ths slanderous and acurrilona
aitlda In tho Cincinnati Enquirer concerning
tho people of Macon, wo did not intend to say
a word. The writer ol that article had prert-
onaly visited Nashville, Chattanooga and At
lanta, and bad written equally as vll* staff
about leading citizens of thaea places aa waa
written shoot some of th* respectable eUtoens
of Macon. Tha local papers In each city paid
no attention to U, and to the credit ol Journal
ism U may he said that ao faraswe are In
formed, no decent paper In the Lulled State,
has noticed them slanderous matters, and th*
result la that outside of the fact that for a day
fa each ctry there waa a rush lor the paper con
taining tha slanders particular to It, the peo
ple understood tho saallgnant animus of tho
writsr, and ignored hla miserable effort to aeU
. camber of copiee ot hie paper at thoox-
peco ol good people who ought not to have
been disturbed by inch a scurrilous usd In*-
•poaalbl* publication.
No on* mocarspaeUlly condemn*, or
heartily despises, tho Journal tom that lira* on
x.i. and ■ lander, and thrives only when In
th* work ol assassination or lacurrocUoo
Ih.n tho Cowatlfnllon Non* will go fur-
tner toward punishing such Journaltott. or la
making inch Journalism Impoaafble. Bat lo
aoueh creatures la print to simply -
whatever goes wrong In politics, religion and
ockty In this Elate, comte whining before
the public In lu Issue ot yesterday, and
shows lu unhealed sores, and ajlcmpu to
gain •jmpethy by parading Itself as an Injured
martyr In tho association of good company.
We regret deeply that the writer of the article
should have mentioned our name In connec
tion with the good people whom wo know to
have been slandered by bis article. Of course
we cotrld not help this, no more than could the
men o'. Macon and the good ladles of the city
(and no city can toait of a more reined to
ddy) prevent their naaet being mentioned.
Butihe editor of the Tit EOBArn, In pretend
ing *to defend the people of Macon, has
really aouaht occasion to put hlmielf for-
ward lu a nutter that we were willing to
let remain buried, In a way that calls for a
few words from us In response. This relpnnse
wo shall make plain, prefacing It w ith the as
sert on that ama. who noised abroad and
multiplied tha slandert put upon estimable
people of bis own city, simply that he might
•Dike a blow at a successful business rival, or
cauterize a disgrace that had fostered In his
own hack, to not a whit better thin the men
who first wrote the slanders.
Now to our reply—
1st The Inelnustlon that the correspondent o!
the C.munition, Walea Wymon, had anything
to do with the article, we believe to be unjust
and unfounded. We have hla most positive
assurance tnat it fa entirely ao, and we believe
him lobe homeland trathfuL The min who,
attempts to make an Innocent man tire victim
of tbto vile staff to, when the real abettor and
perpetrator can be reached, guilty of coward
tee and nnmanllnesa. '
2d. If the editor of tho Macon TCLEoaAru
axo Mcasaxoan, by publishing the extracts
from the Post- Appeal,wishes to convey the lm
prcsslon that E. P. Howell or narry Jackson
had anything lo do with hla arreat-and
can see no other object in hla publishing It—
he willfully and maliciously represents facU
thet he himself confessed to bo false when he
signed the eetLement made by Colonel Andrr-
•on, Judge Bleckley end Jndge Whittle. We
kave refrained from any mention ot this mat
ter since this settlement, and wo do so now
since we find this creature ready to try and
misrepresent the facta that be may get sym
pslhy by parading himself with good citizens
of Macon who have been grossly and wanton
ly wronged.
Wa have neither time nor apace to devote to
further controversy with the TsLgaaam axd
Massgxoan. When It becomes necessary here
after for na to notice anytblog laid by the ed
itor ol that paper, we will do It without con-
aumlng spare that belongs to our readers, pre
ferring to write our answer on a carcass worth
less for all It has yet been used for In this
world.
Giving the Constitution fall credit
(or ftith in the innocence o( its repre
sentative of any connection with tho
dirty work, when tho article above
quoted was written, subsequent inves
tigations sndltis own confession fix tho
fact that ho was a party to the work
and furnished a portion of the data
If the editor of the Constitution be
lieved when the foregoing article was
penned that Wynton was innocent of
tho great outrage charged upon him
he has since become better Informed,
or else his action in discharging Wyn
ton was aa cowardly and contempti
ble as it would have been if he had de
fended him as innocent, knowing hia
guilt.
If he believed Wynton innocent, and
became satisfied of bis guilt, lie was
bound as an honorable man to have
emphasised his disapprobation of the
Work with an apology to the parties ho
had wronged, os full as it was ia his
power to make.
Wynton has been discharged for an
offense, the consequences of which the
editor of the Constitution cannot
escape by bravado. lie stands in
Wynton’s stead as tho offender un
til ho repairs the wrong the
former die. So long as he falls to do
tills, the only regret that he expresses
by Wynton’s discharge is that he was
detected. There is no regret (or tho
wrong.
The editor of tho constitution is
powerless to divert attention from any
(act developed by thiscaie. lie lias
proven himaelf to he a blackguard and
a bally, and bis own acta have placed
him lieyond the recognition of uimgea
that prevail among and govern honor
able men.
In aaaumingtohe a law unto him
self, and indulging in the coarse threat
with which he winds up his
spective applications, be has taken a
position that involves its execution. So
be it. Whenever he shall feel inclined
to keep the pledge upon himself im
posed, ample opportunity will, he af
forded him. We ibail be aa willing to
stand upon the record we shall then
make, withoot police interference, as
we are now to stand upon (acta that are
herewith presented.
