THANKS HIS FRIENDS For I'sing Their Influence to Have Hiin Freed of Crime Charge. To The Chronicle : I wish to take this opportunity to thank the good citi-j zc n s and officials of Camden for the kind intercession and consideration that they h^|_ve_ _ employed in iny behalf. Ih releiv JnjJf fne of further humiliation under a charge of which I positively declare my-! self to be innocent. We learn that J the primary aim of society is to protect (he individual in the enjoyment <>f his absolute rights and I am quite sun- that' fur on re I have been made to feel and appreciate the protecting hand of society. Although I am relieved of further humili ation. I don't want that those who in terc<*ded in ni># behalf should feel that they have eugagod in a mission of mercy ; for 1 hnve done no wrong, but rather I want them to feel and uu'ler that ?t??*?r* hn* been n mission of justice. My manner of life from my youth known by ali the people of Camden, who know me. if they would but testify, a* many havt> done, cnuM not but say it beyond reproach. Voluntarily g- ing into the t?ervice of my country it is true that I came under the hardening in fluences .>f soldier life, but as there always remains one point of perfect stillness in the heart of a cyclone, no have I retained, even in the fervor of action, and in the mi<W of degrading influences, those elevating ideals of h life of honor and sertice. as a lamp, in a sheltered spot. Much reference has been made to my military service and distinction upon the field of battle.) ?14 ? I ? have ? 'loite ? anvthmg ? worthy ? <>f public commendation. I am glad. For that I do not ask any com pe illation. I have only donr* my duly, but I 'do a?k and expect the privilege of enjoy ing peacefully the rights of a citizen. *Tis true that "justice while she winks at crime, stumbles. on innocence some times," but even so that fact does not relieve the unfortunate victim of the suffering and jtximiliation caused by the accirsation and sometimes the ronTie-] tion. I am innocent. To the friends and citizens. both white and colored, whose true and noble hearts have inspired them to use their lofinence in my behalf, I offer my deepest gratitude and earn.-at appreciation. With the hope and determination rhat thay may never have occasion to ttilnk me unworthy or apch consideration, I un, Yonrs for t*kc* and jpstW, Herbert F. McGlrt. PERSONAL MENTION.
