CojiMiiiRK-os Ways and Means,
House of Representatives, Washing
ton, D. O, April 10th, 1882.—Edi
tors Constitution; I a?k through the
columns of your paper to reply to
the brutal attack on me in the Ma
con Telegraph and Messenger of the
7th instant. I know that the policy
of the Constitution is hostile to me
and to my representation of a Geor
gia Congressional district, but I
presume it will give m'e the oppor
tunity to defend myself. I do not
often" claim the attention of the pub
lic to matters personal to me, and
Ibe most nnjnstifiableand unmanly
provocation is my excuse this time.
In his comments on the homicide
of young Mr. Bountree, Albert B..
Lamar, the editor of the Telegraph
and Messenger, declares; “We re
cognize in this the legitimate conclu
sion of the partially successful at
tempt of Mr. Emorv Speer to Afri
canize that portion of the Stale, to
gratify his persona) ambition and
vanity.’’
• This proposition contains two pal
pable untruths. It is stated that I
have attempted to. Africanize that
portion of the State. No act or ut
terance or ambition of mine can be
truthfully held to show such at
tempt. My Independent candidacy
and eleciion to Congress had and
can have no such effect. Again, the
deplorable death of Mr. Bountree
had no connection with a political
cause. “We should feel better
abor.t the matter if we might justly
lay the blame of the entire transac
tion to his (Mr. Speer’s) door,’’
writes Mr. Albert Lamar. This
genial and Christian wish serves to
show the cordial feeling of Mr.
Lamar toward Mr. Speer, but the
truth is Mr. Speer is no more con
nected with the death of Mr. Bouu-
tree than was any other member of
Congress with any other breach of
the peace in Georgia during his
term of service. No more, for in
stance, than was the representative
of the Savannah district w ith the re-
greted but still remembered occa
sion when, in that city, Mr. Wayne
Russell, with the palm of his hand,
buffeted Mr. Albert Lamar on the
face. I am no more responsible for
the bloody tragedy in my city than
was the Savanuah representative
for the bloodless ex parte encounter
jn his.
Mr. Lamar continues: “But it is
true, and it is about time for the
people of Athens and the surround
ing country to awaken to a knowl
edge of the fact that they who have
upheld and sustained this young
man (Mr. Speer) in his anything
but admirable career, may have to
bear a part of the r& ponsibility for
Ihe results which have followed.”
Now, the animosity of Mr. Albert
Lamar towards me is well under
stood, and is generally ascribed to
the fact that he was dismissed for in
competency by the Democratic clerk
of tbe 16th Congress, and to the fur
ther fact that my cousin, Mr. Eugene
Speer, was appointed to tbe vacant
position, and held it while the Dem
ocrats held the Honse. I have been
informed also that Mr. Lamar an
nounced his purpose with Mr. Han
son’s paper “to drive me from pub
lic life.” To accomplish this ambi
tion, he charges me and the men
who have voted for me with blood-
gniitiness. Mr. Lamar should re
flect that in this statement lie is do
ing a cruel injustice to a community
who are not in “public life,” and at
whom he strikes with a view to
wound and cripple me. He states
that Mr. Rountree was killed by a
couple of negro politicians. He
was perhaps justifiable in this, as an
Athens paper, the 1 Banner- Watch
man, made the same statement, or
rather stated they were great-“Inde
pendent politicians.’ 1 This is untrne.
The boy who did the killing was
only 19 years of age, and had never
voted. Hia eoadjntor came into the
county and the district since the last
election. How indefensible, there
fore, is it to ascribe thiB crime to in-
dependentism in the ninth district?
With the* jame propriety the rather
frequent homicides in Macon for
several years past may he charged
to the organized politics of that dis
trict, and if Mr. Lamar can find in
liis spleen to me and my family the
justification of his slanders, what ex
cuse has he to assail the high-mind
ed and orderly people whom I rep
resent ?
My “career,” in the opinion of Mr.
Lamar, “is anything but admirable.”
I confess that I often think, in look
ing backwards, that I might have
done better, and I do not boast of
my career. Such as it is, however,
it is infinitely better and higher than
that of Mr. Albert B. Lamar. I have
never been discharged by my own
party from public office for incom
petency, nor have^I used tie powers
entrusted to me to glnt a detestable
malice toward a man who had never
injured me. The brilliant corres
pondent, Mr. George Alfred Town
send, declares that Mr. Lamar, said
in a%recent interview, that be, with
deliberate purpose, mixed; liqnors
which palsied the brain and tongue
of Herschel V. Johnson, -when in
convention he was pleading for the
Union against secession, and thus
the powerful advocate of peace and
Union was stricken down at the
crisis of our country’s fate by the
man who now traduces me and the
people among whom I live. Thank
God my career does not seem ad
mirable to Mr. Albert B. Lamar.
Let him not charge me with blood-
guiltiness when I am innocent,’while
the furtive hand with which he held
tbe stnpifying cup to -the lips of
Herschel V. Johnson is stained with
tho torrents of blood in that tem
ple war which the latter-was seeking
to avert.
“Give rein,” says Mr. Lanar, “to
the nnbridled ambition and passions
of Mr. Speer and his followers, and
the classic walls of the nniversity,
within which now lies the bloody
corpse of ihe first of its children
murdered by negro politicians, will

EDITOR
LARfAR’S REFLY
HR. SPEER,
TO
Macoti Telegraph.
In another column of this issue
may be found a letter written by
Mr. Emory Speer of the Atlanta
Constitution and published in that
journal on the 14th just, Mr. Speer
had no need to go to the Consti
tution, for the columns of the Tele
graph are always open to any one
who may feel himself aggrieved by
its utterances. M'r Speer, who, it
he is noted for anything beyond a.
reckless ambition or an inordinate
vanity, is the proprietor of a very
vivid imagination (and a loose and
foul tongue, delivers himself of a
denunciation of us, for the reason,
that in the discharge of a journal
ist we had thought proper fo lay
at his door where it properly be
longs, the responsibility for the
recent bloody tragedy at Athens.
'As introductory to his diatribe he
charges that we cherish “animosity”
against him, for the reason that we
were discharged from a clerical po
sition in the forty-sixth Congress for
“incompetently,” which position his
cousin succeeded to..
The charge is without foundation.
Mr. .Speer mistakes the feeling we
entertain for him. It does not ap
proach the dignity of animosity,
which;- whether rightly grounded
or not, recognizes something worthy
in the object at which it may be di
rected. Why should our animosity
reach out for Mr. Speer when the
injury or injustice to us, if commit
ted at all, was performed by other
bands? Our relations', with hiscous-
iii are, and have always been, kind
ly. Is Mr. Speer haunted with the
memory of some dirty trickery in
connection with this "affair ? It was
brought tons at the time that our
official head was the price of his
vote to the Democratic organiza
tion in’ the House. ’ Our position
cune from the hands of our friend,
Mr. Hartridge. Upon application
to his snccessor, Hon. John Nicholls,
he frankly informed us that only one
position could, be held by his dis
trict, and for sufficient reasons he
had recommended the retention of
another person. This was satisfac
tory to us. We probed no farther.
What has reached us since is not
pertinent to this issue. But grant
ing that the charge in all of its force
be true, that one who had done
during four years, the bulk of the
clerical work of the Confederate
Congress, was incompetent for far
ther duty, this was a misfortune,
not a fault. There is an immeas
urable gulf bel\”eeu iiicompetency
and infamy. Tho over weening ego
tism of Mr. Speer blinds him to the
tact that we stand on opposite shores
of the gulf,
We cannot recall the use at any
time of the expression, that we in
tended to nse Mr.Hanson’s paper to
drive Mr.’ Speer from public life.
Bepudiating any such narrow scope
of journalistic labor and responsi
bility the fact stands, that Mr. Han
son has no paper. This gentleman
is associated with us, in the conduct
of the Telegraph and Messenger,
and Mr. Speer has in his possession
the highest evidence of accord be
tween manager and editor in rela
tion to himself.
But in view of recent events and
the present-condition of affairs in
Georgia, we can not imagine how a
journal may be more judiciously
used, and a life more usefully and
honorably spent than in an effort to
put Mr. Speer in close communion
alone, with that dangerous and de
graded element upon which he
mainly relies for political prefer
ment.
We-have feltit*a duty, warranted
by all of the circumstances and sur
roundings, to charge upon Mr.
Speer, the main responsibility for
the late murder of a student at the
State University. We regreted then,
and still regret, thatinonr opinion
this responsibility was divided.
We desire to re-iterate with all-of
the force that simple English is ca
pable of carrying to “the intelligent
mind, that our opinion is unaltered
and the conclnsion of our judgment
in giving it shape and expression.
Oar position has been unequivocal
ly endorsed by the leading journal
of the city of Athens, the home of
Mr. Emory Speer, and by other
journals of the State. Beyond this,
the article in question has received
the warm encoinums of many of
people ot Georgia.
V:'e have inflamed with wild har
angues no brutal anil drunken mobs
of negroes on,the streets of the most
cultured city of the State. We have
never regaled a gang of low and ig
norant while men with brochures of
Jilijjpdbscenity and blackguardism,
that would have caused a panic in a
brothel and brought the blush of
shame to the habitues of a rat-pit.
We have never used a negro for the
promotion of our ambition, and had
hint publicly denounce us for ter
giversation, and threaten to cudgel
ns for personal deception and treach
ery. We have not professed loyal
ty to the principles of one party
and taken cover in the camp of
another. We can look all Geor
gia ns squarely in the face, our wife
and children, and say to them that
our record, whatever it may be, at
least enjoys one inestimable honor
— hat it has never been polluted by
the indorsement or approval of Mr.
Emory Speer, or any such as he.
Wandcriug from the real issue,
Mr. Speer has referred to matters
not relevant to this discussion. We
do noL propose to follow hint in
that direction. He has invited, even
provoked nsto step over the barriers
of public discussion and to drag
forth the incidents of private life.
As a journalist, it is part of our
calling to be acquainted with the
careers of the men with whom we
have to deal. There is at our elbow
a mass whose airing would not tend
to elevate Mr. Speer in popular es
teem and admiration. Present ne
cessity does'not require its use.
Our pen is stayed by the memory
of dead and living people who have
not participated in his honors, and
who are not responsible for the
more than dubious methods by
which he has gained (hem. Nor do
we intend that Mr. Speer shall di
vide among his family and friends
what we mean for him, and him
alone.
We have no cause of complaint of
them. All so far as wo know are
doing honorable service iu their re
spective callings. Some, wc know,
are upholding the principles by
which all that is honorable and de
cent in Georgia can be transmitted
to our children, and which princi
ples Mr. Speer and the motely raji-
scallions With whom he is associat
ed are endeavoring to overthrow.
We have had occasion before to
deal with fellows as windy and as
vaporingjas he. He can say nothing,
can do nothing that may add to the
unutterable contempt which we en
tertain and enjoy for him.
IS THERE NOIPROTECTIONt
A Few Words to Sheep-Raisers—
Some Steps Necessary to Protct
This Important Industry.
Worth County Ga., April 11.
Editor Star: Worth county has
had two questions before it for some
time that has brought forth a good
deal - of comment. .One seems to
have died a natural death, tho other
has come to a successful termination.
There is another trouble existing in
the connty that is, perhaps, of far
greater importance than either of
the above, to-wit: Sheep and dogs.
There are a great number of sheep
in this county, and almost all the
settled citizens own- more or less.
The wool brings a large amout of
money into the connty, and almost
everybody receives some benefit
from it.
When- this country was first set
tled, it was full of "wild varmints,
which preyed apon stock, bat the
old settlers exterminated them and
stock, especially sheep, prospered
and done well.
It is true, there have been dogs
that would kill them ocasiounll
that would kill them ocasioua.Ilv, °
and some people who would I not gathering round him, bnt is not
stop their dogs; but owing to. the
iucrease in the saw mills and tur
pentine farms, the dogs are greatly
on the increase, andifrom- the de
struction they have been making
for the last six or eight months,
they will soon overran the sheep in
in this section and, in laot, in the
whole country.
Now, what is to he done? Let
both the stock men and tho turpen
tine and saw mill men answer this
question. As for mv part, if there
is not some protection guaranteed
to sheep, .my . little gang is for
sale.
I suggest that there be a meeting
called at daring Snperior Coart for
the purpose of discussing this mat
ter, and, if thought advisable, or
ganizing a wool-grower’s asooia-
tion, Respectfully.

unhesitatingly take death—were it
net his duty to live and endure.
The last operation was the most
severe, and probably successful.
Wheu he was put under ether lor it,
it was intended to only take out a
small lamp that had hardened on the
gland in his neck. After he was
insensible.it was determined to adopt
the heroic treatment and take out
the entire gland. He was kept un
der the knife two hours, the gland
cut out, and the knife sent clear to
the new flesh that had filled the
place of the first operation. "When
Mr. Hill awoke he was terribly ex
hausted, and shocked at the hole
cut his neck. Tho gashes had been
neatly sewed up. For seven days
heeould not move his lips, and liv
ed on liquid food. After this, he
improved until inflammation de
veloped along the wound. Then
comes the most critical period of his
sickness. The entire opening of the
wonnd was closed the pns accumu
lated and pressed against his throat.
He was seized with fever and conld
hardly speak. At last the tension
beeame so great that the wonnd
burst inside his month. This gave
him relief, and he went to Philadel
phia. He was put under the knife
again and the outer edge of the
wound slit open so tllat it might
heal from the bottom. This is doing
finely, and without inflammation.
No traoe of the disease can be found,
and the hope of his permanent cure
were never so strong. He says he
will not snbmit to the knife again,
and his snrgeons think there wiU
be no need.
An affectionate friendship has been
developed between Mr. Hill and
Senator Brown who, to use his own
words, “has been to him in his afflic
tion all that a brother conld he.”
Govern Brown said to me:
“I have never seen in my life such
courage and heroism and Christian
fortitude as Mr. Hill has shown in
the past few months. I have been
with him daily, and every day has
been a revelation to me. Never
have I beard him murmur or com
plain ; never have I seen him shrink
ftom the present or the fatnre. It
lias been patience; dignity, heroism
from first to last. His chief concern
has been for those about him, and
his own suffering has been lost in a
sense of sympathy for his loved ones,
i tell yon no mere human fortitude
could give such strength as Mr. HiU
has shown. He is sustained by a
Ijigher power and higher assurance
than this earth can give.’’
I have written a great many things
about Mr. Hill, but I have never
written anything so to his honor as
this. He has won a victory and
achieved a triumph under this keen
and relentless agony, more precious
and glorions than any that ever come
to him on the hnstiugs or in the
fornm. God grant that be may live
many years to enjoy it—to give his
people a broader and better service
even than that he has rendered, and
receive from them the continued
assurance of their love and confi
dence. H. 'W. G.
Hugo Anticipating His Death.
P»! is Correspondence Pall Mall Gazette.
Victor Hugo does not look for
ward to witnessing another birthday.
He feels the .shadow of the tomb
troubled by it. His instinct tells
him, he says, that when he passes
through the black” tunnel called
death he will open his eyes to a
higher and brighter existence, and
that God'will at once receive him as
a maitre compagnon.- ’Why should
he not, ho argnes, believe in his in
stinct? Instinct is one of the rare -
things that never He.
