UMan did mot oo TOALaiAxa. 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 editor of tha Maeon TiutoRArn amd Mx.azx- , an.

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.

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.

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.
