Editais : I hope you will allow me space to give the pub Ho tho reason which led mo to think of giving up my commission as United States Deputy Marshal, as called for by somo ono writ ing from this-placo on the loth inst. I have not resigned, but havo been think ing of doing so far the ?implo and suffi cient reason that I have failed to receive the cordial support and encouragement of the better clajs of citizens, which their profession, when I accepted the office, led me to expect, I accepted thc appoint ment at the rcqnest of the citizens of this community, and when these very people begin to think and say the work bas gone far enough, even though lt ls tun com menced, why, ot courue, I can but hesi tate. I embrace this opportunity to chaltengo any roan to say I have caused unnecessa ry, hardship or inconvenience to any wnotri I have taken into custody, or that j hSiVe busied myself to "work up" cases, i ^tfiier ehauknge shy man to say that In, any vase I have not shown as am oh in dulgence and favor as a due regard (br my sworn dnty would allow. 'One reason, Messrs. Editors, which ls the true one, perhaps, for the chango of opinion already mentioned, ls the dis. co very of tho fact that a number of ne groes and whitos, scaitorod ell over this Fork country, have been retailing whis key tn a small way. This state of things was scarcely known till nrter I accepted office. Two or three of these purtles were brought to my notiee, and the neces sary witnesses being furnished I was com pelled to take cognisance nf them. Ar rests followed and the Investigation of those oases exposed others, so that quite . number of persons are implicated. So lt goes, sud the upshot of the matter seems to be the demoralization, to somo extent of the fanning Interest and the probable annoyance ami ex pens? or nomo persons who ?re doubtless innocent. At least these are tho fcara oxpressod by some of our good ixoplo. This bit nation or alTalrs gives rise to the question, shall tho enforcement of tho laws be suspended und abandoned be cause it would perchance occasion a tom porary deraugomont of farming opera tions, and because forsooth au innocent man might occasionally ho put to a little trouble? No thinking, law-abiding man eau alford to answer this question iu tho affirmative. No, I have not retdgned. inasmuch as I took the appointment nt thc request of thc belter class of tin* citizen,. I consider myself their servant, MO that whenever thoy unanimously command I cheerfully obey. l.ct mo trouble you, in conclusion, with my classification of the pooplo of this section, It will hold good u-s to other communities. lu thu Aral class 1 put those who aro fully law abiding and will sustain and encourage an olliccr in tho proper dis charge of his duty, let the couseiiucnccs be what they may.
