The publio ar< not interested in suek literature, and therefore do not expect me in this replv to engag< in any snob blackguardism. The public however, have a right to be informed as t the truth or falsity of any statement s BB -M- %A n.n Urged fact that may be oeniaineu ? v.? entl Farley'* article. There are only two statement* of moiueo Id the letter as I read it: Flr?? That 1 liotsteil to my private aeon tery an article, which appeared the seooc week of March in the Augusta Ckronit signed "Craddock," without the consent < knowledge of the person who uses that no de plume. {Second. That I insulted an editorii which was wrifton by IV. T. Crews, in t Laurensnlle lhrald. , The lirst charge is as ridiculous am it * false. The idea of a person with a tliiwil full of sense forging the uutue of a not paper man is laughable in llio extreme ; I 1 am willing that tbo public should ku the whole truth about tho "Craddock" I Iff. James 11. Tillman, a aou of Congrcssn Tillman, was, about the date of the "t'r deck" letter, the correspondent of Augusta Chronicle iu Washington,and "Ci dock" was bis nom de pluiuo. On Ha day, just one week after the inaugurn of the President, >1 nj. Wm. T. (iary Augusta, aad James II.

Farley ottered Tillman a place en the ticket ns Adjutant and Inspector General if he would go to his father and make the arrangements hy which lie would not oppose but support Tnlhert's re-election. (At this time every uuu in Washington knew that the " ,J,\ Oovornor( and Col. Tillman were not on terms.) 1 asked Mr. Tillman what fit rep y to Farley was, and ho said that he ^^vtold Farley that blood was thicker than ~-L*~r water, and lie would be d?d if he would go 1 back on h:s uncle for Butler or anybody cleo. 1 asked hitn if this was a ,ucwsnai>i>r p.- *1 mean bttsintfs, I'll publish it in full. Tlicro aud then lie wrote the piece signed "Craddoelt.' I did not have anything further to do wuh it ; did not see it any move until it appeared iu the papers; thought nothing of tt until the blowing week, when I heard him read a ccr unctue ironi some one ta the elltcl that he (Jim Tllliunn) had written and was the author of the "1'iaddock" letter. That night in my room between mid It) o'clock, while Dr. l'opc anl 1 were talking, Jim Tillman eaine in, an i 1 nuked him to rehearse the whole inle to Dr. l'opo, which he did, exhibiting the "Cruddock" letter, and saying that it would go otf by telegraph in n few niiuutos. As to the piece referred to from the Luuretisville Herald 1 can only say that I knew nothing of it until 1 saw it iu print. The subjoined letter from Mr. Crews on that subject will explain bself. lu conclusion, 1 will ask the public to think of ou? thing only. Why did not Ucn. Farley usk of uic uu explanation, if he believed what he pretends to believe of the assumed wrong 1 did him. The oviJcut reasou to mo. why he sought uu explanation is ihut if he had donc-so, he would not have hat the opportunity to abuse me for political purposes ; lor lie knew had he called on me, a satisfactory answer would have ' . -i given him, his excuse f>r denouncing nn< iu<l li s chance for ingratiating himeetl ttl' I lllO cl?:;;cat V.uuid iiavt b . a lo-t. 1 nitre it to the public to say wliuthci ?> its subsequent to the 4th of last Mareli it.\ inn proved that Jim Tillman toid tin Iroih when he came to me with the report -? _ i,: this conversation between him and Geuer'v i' Parley. \ need not give the argument ' ' lialiawa J tux -Xrllnian told lUt> truth J i 1 nm satisfied that every one who rfHTTS i.,. ..owwimnej-s n1111 who has watched tho >, " T. t Years ana moj.-.irv'U ? try, of Augusta, which will prove coneln lively that the chnrges made by (ienera I irley are false.

With this explanation I have done with the newspupers as a means of adjusting differences. I am, very respectfully. John l?. M. Ihhy, Nrwiikiiry, S. t'., July 11, lSl?:i. Hon. J. L. M.

Hespectfully, k. w. haiuus. I Some days ego 8ehool Commissioner L. P Davenport. a boat 65 years old, of Leureni county, attempted a criminal assault on i young married woman, 16 years old, namsc Fuller. The woman's husband "agreed t< oompromiee the matter for $100. The neigh bors beard of tbs transaction and bold at indignation meeting, at whioh a revolatioi was passed calling on Davenport te resigi and leave the State in forty-eight hour* He obeyed orders." There is considerable mystery about tbl infamous affair, in consequence of very con iradictory reports being published about it but there are also some very unsavory tram actions connected with it, in which net onl; Davenport but other persons of respectahl social standing are darkly implicated, an we are inclined te believe that some politi< was in it that saved Davenport from the fal of the negro Peterson, at Denmark,or the ol negro, Klnard, or t;oiumoi?, ior w? crime. There wee this diference betwot the eases: there was not a shadow of doul as to Daveoport's guilt and identity. Mr Faller is the yonog wife of a poor, illitera man, who did not at first appear to appret ate the enormity and character of the asset upon his wife's honor, and, evident through tho influence of Davenport's friend i ?m Induced to compromise the affair fer toMjj consideration. Mrs. Benjamin, tl ,cema t? ba up up?n ?ny consideration. Senator Irby became mixed up with tl compromise, by being called in by friem aud relatives of both parties, but in a cat from him ho distinctly says : "The two fathers of Mr. and Mrs. Full retired to the hnrse lot and were gone ft ten minutes and then called me and said th they had agreed that Mr. Davenport shoul pay $100 and that the matter should tht be dropped. I told them that it was one the kind of esses that couldn't be sclth with money, and that it would be a compr< mise of the girl as well as of the whole fan ily, and I advised against taking it. The, however, insisted and said that they woui not bo satisfied with anything hut roont aud called Colonel Shaw, who is a nephew i Mr. Davenport, and told hint that the would have to have $100. Samuel Fullt seemed to lo highly pleased with this eetth moot, especially the money part of it, whe I advised him that he ought not to acccf money of this sort. Mr. Davenport gave Mi Shaw his note for $100, which was writte by myself, and Mr. Shaw paul Fuller $5i and gave him his note, endorsed by mysell for $50 more in sixty days."
