On the 14th of February Mr. Calhoun re sented hit seat In the senate as Vice Fr*al dent, after having been ftilly and amply ex onorated from all autnlvioo of being con cerned In the famous Rip Rap contract, In Any way dishonourable to himself. Indeed, arc never heard of any mau who knew Mr. Cal houn, but who entertained a lull belief that the result of the Investigation before the Committee, wonldbe exactly what it lias been, vis, a complete acquittal iu all res pects. ttr. Calho?n*s chfcf clcrk Mujor Vandc ttfnfrr, has been dismissed from office. \ For our own parts, we are not inclined to > throw any blame whatever on the conduct of that committee, or on tholengthof time spcr.* |. the Investigation. \\ o think the result ?A3 shewn, that the com mlttec have not in is ' pent their time, and that the occasion de manded nihil and minute investigation. Mr. M'Duffic who attended as the friend of Mr. Calhoun, wrote a letter of complaint against the conduct of the committee, ad dressed to the Hon. Mr. Floyd; which in ear opinion was unecessary and assuredly has had no good effect. The public are not satisfied that the course token by the com mittee culled for it; and Mr. M'Duffle would have acted as we think more prudent ly, by resting satisfied with the c >mpient ex oneration of his triend Mr. Calhoun. In this letter, Mr. M'Duffic made n mistake as to a former vote of the house of represen tatives: this mistake has brought on, the following unpleasant correspondence, whose termination we do not yet know. Gen. Met calfe's last letter is any thin]* but pacific: nor it is of a description, easily to be pussed over. We greatly regret that any of our public men should shew a propensity t<? harshness of manner nnd expression, and a readiness to take an affront beyond what ab solute necessity requires. Such a dis|msitfoti unfits a man for being us useful as he might be, siH operates greatly against his public char acter. Reply of Messrs. Metcalfe and Campbell, to Mr. M'Duffie's firnt letter. The communication of Mr. M'Duffic to the ?elect committor instituted at the. request of the vic<e-president, dated the 29th of Janua ry, contains one sentence ut which wc think it our duty to respond. It is in these word*: ??such was the conducive force of this testi mony tn 1822, that the hare rending of it, without a Mimic word of commentary or ar Sanient, induced the house of rcpscntatives y a vote of 131 to UO, to reject the rciiort aod resolution of the select committee, which recommended a suspicion of nil uppn> printings for the luihllment of that con tract." Having been inemliers of the sclcct com mittee of 1822, and fully satisfied with their report and resolution, wc feel disuoscd to ?say something in our own defencc. H id Mr. M^Duffie confined himself to facta and just conclusions, wc should have abstained from all remark. This he has in.t done. Ilia mis representations, wc will not say intentional ones, demand awl shall rcccivc correction. Unwilling to depend exclusively upon memory, we have adverted to the journal of the house of representatives from which the following extracts are made: JftrWiQ, 1822.?"The resolution of Mr. Butler, requiring the appointment of a selcct committee, to enquire whether the Kip Knp contract was made According to law, and whether the contractor had fulfilled hia cov enant, w.is adopted. The committee con sisted of Messrs. Butler, Mctculf, and Camp bell." (Bee journal, p. 477.) May 2.?" Mr. Cocke moved to strike out the *' bill making further anpropriatioos for the military service for 18K, and foi other purposes," the words "for fort Calhoun fifty thousand dollars." The house adjourn ed without a decision." (Seejournal p. 347.) May 3.-?*' The same hill being the unfin ished business of the proceeding day was ?gain under consideration. A debate arising upon Mr. Cocke's amendment, Mr. Colden called for the previous question which i was uut, the main question being shall' the bill be engrosed, and read a third time?" Which waa carried, 121 to 20. (dec journal, p. 449.) May This bill was returned from the senate with an amendment in these words J following the appropriation for fort Calhoun: ?' this appropriation not to he regarded as a confirmation of the contract made with Kli iah Mix, In regard to this fort" Mr. WiU liars* moved to amend, bjr adding the words " or disaffirmance" after the word ? confir mation" which was determined in the nega tive. Mr. Sawyer called for the previotta question, which Was, " will the house agree to the amendment of the senate as aforesaid?" The division was 40 to 80. (ike journal, p. 581.) May 7.?Mr. Butler from the select com mittee on the Rip Map contract, made a re port, which was read and ordered to lie on the table. (Bee journal, p. .586.) TW error into which Mr. M'Duffle has fcDettle this: he asserts that the report and " ? ? ~ imittee were, ?f>ou being d by a vote of 131 to 20{ i &X ? <*?/* subsequent to th# _s ?kta sustained, puts u|d? all i and prrcfttdcTlurttier debute. tkw Is ofteir sustained by the I _ ?ion, when there n no time for ? discussion. It l? possible tliHt Mr. Calhoun, through hi* friend Mr. M'Duflte. means to prove, by the vote of the house nf the 3rd of May* 1892, that tbe report of the committee, if made at that time, was reject*'i, and thereby all the Irregularities of the contract fully sanc tioned. I hif flirt ronld only he ascertained by ftoUbig the members who voted on that w-cnaion, as It is not practicable to ascertain in any other way, the motives andrcuwms by which gentlemen were influenced. His de claration, to say the least of it, is wholly gra tuitous. We feol no disposition to engage in a con trotMr?y with Messrs. Calhoun and M'Duffie, respecting this contract; none to decline such a controversy if necessary to our own viudicution. against any unjust imputation. THOMA8 MKTCALFK, J. W. CAMPBELL Rrfily nf Mr, AtDi'jfflr. The publication made by Gen. Metcalfe and Mr. Campbell, relative to an error con-! Mined in my communication to the select, committee appointed to investigate certain charge* against the vice-president, denmudi of me a t-.ank acknowledgement, and a brief explanation of the error Tnto which I really did fall, in my reference to a former vote of the house of representative! on the ltip Hup contract. My mistake, which will be ahewn to have been merely formal, and of no prac tical importance either to the gentlemen who have taken exception to it, or to the public, j confuted in sup|K>Miig the vote wua taken on the motion to strike out the appropriation for tort Calhoun, when in fact the the prevl- , ous que: At ion precluded a vote on the en-1 grosament of the nppropiiation bill. This vote was certainly no te>t of the opinion of thr bonne <>n <hc repoii and resolution of the j ?elect comihittee, and I never should have ' though ol' making un h an impression had 1 ( nut inadvertantly confounded the diirerent! questions upon which the several votci were . taken. 1 made the statement entirely from i memory, with the exception of the result of j the vote, which was obtained from the joum- t al of the house by unotlici gentleman, and' ! handed to me. I made it, however, under a I full belief, from my own recollection, thut j | it was correct, uiul it in now apparent, from ; | the journal, that it wxt substantially sr. * The senate proposed to amend the appro- ? Ipriation f r fort Calhoun, by deciariii), that "this appropriation should not be regarded Ins u confirmation of the contract made with Klij.ih Mix." The house rejected tlun, which wan a much milder pro|>osition tliuu ' that recommended by the sclcct committee, j by a vote of t.O to 40. It is J?clf evident, thut j ever>- member who voted against the amend ment of the senate; would hive voted against the rosolutionof the select committee: for it cannot be supposed that any of those who refused to declare that "tfce appropria tion should not be regarded as a confirmation of the contract," would have voted that the contract was null, mid that no further appro priation ought to be inudc for hs fulfillments. Ou the contrary, it muy well be supposed that some of those who voted for the amend ment of the senate, would have voted aflMtat the recommendation of the select committee. Although it was not technically correct to say, that the report and resolutions of the se lect committee were rejected before they were formally presented to the house; and 1 certainly should not have committed such an apparent solecism, c\ en in terms, if 1 had consulted the journals fur chronological or der of events; yet, it will be obvious trom the statement of a few ficta, which do not up fear upon thejournals of the house, and which ?en. Metcalfe und Mr. Campbell will pro bnbly recollect, thut my statement and, in this particular, was correct to every practi cal purpose, .with the single exception, tha? the trying tote was carried by a majority ol only two to one, instead of the still largei majority which was given on the previous question When the proposition of (Jen. Cocke, to strikeout tho appropriation fur furt C.dhoun, wiiit under dlscusswh the second day, Mr. Butler, the chairman of the select comiiuttce of three, supported the motion to utrike out, upon the autfiority of the evidence produced before that committee, and 1 wus nmL-r the lmpre?sinn that he had their re|>ort read. It seems, however, from the journal, that till* imp reus ion was incorrect, hut I have a dis tinct recollection that he stated substantially the result of the examination made by the committee, and either said or did something that induced me to Inslieve that hu hi d the papers of that committee then in his postcs slon. I called for the readingof the evidence ftt'iting that I would submit the question, af ter that was d'xic, without a word of argu ment on my part. When the reading of tlic evidence was closed, Mr. Colilen, of New York, stated that though lie had entertained tttfavorahle imptcations of the contract, the evidcncc so clearly showed that it has been tftirly made, and was highly adventageous to the government, that he felt bound to pit an end tcan unprofitable discussion, by calling for the pnrvious question. The call was sustained by a large majority, and the bill waa ordered for a third re tiling with ot.ly twenty disaentlnjr voice*.?Subsequent to this, the .prntioscu nmendincn of the senate was rejnrvcd by the vc?te already st.ited, of 80 to 40. Having discharged the obligation which I have incurred to tlic committee, by an unin tentional and unimimrtant error, it remain* that I discharge a fluty of still higher obliga tion, which I owe to myself. and to those who feel an luteiest In my character. Oen. Metcalfe and Mr. Campbell arc pleaded to say, * we feci no disposition lo en gage In a controversy with Messrs, CVhoun and M'Duflte, respecting this contract." ( exceedingly regret that they should have thought K necessary to make such an allusion to the viee-presklenr, as there is assuredly nothing In the e?*a, either to tier ~ * tifylt With any possible conti may arise between ttiem and m aulject lie can hi !o?retohin?, h R,ap?i?ills wWp nw proven _fit (?, and the mitigation of the *pa, m MMjr more.

Spanking on that sub ject, they say, "hb misrepresentations, we will net say intentional one*, demand and shall rcceivc correction." I will not assume the responsibility of Interpreting this lan guage, Tor fear 1 should do Injustice to the gentleman by whom it Is nied) from one of whom, at leaat, I thought 1 had right to.?x~ pect ordinary kindness and courtesy. But, as the expression used by those gentlemen may be rtgnntcd by others as being equivo csl, I am MTenittlWy' impelled by a monitor whose suggestions f will always hold sacred, to state explicitly, thai, if they, or either of them, meant to insinuate that 1 made an Jn trttthnal whrrfirtaentuilon, the insinuation Is wantonly and absolutely fait. C.KO. M'DUFFIE. A publication In the National Intelligen cer of the ll>?h.inst. over the signature <4 George M'Dutflc, has attracted my notices and shall receive an answer, which would h ive been more promptly furnished, but that 1 was then associated in the affair with another gentlemen and friend, whom I con sidered it ?uy duty to consult, before 1 pro ? ceeded to act singly, and on my own respon sibility. Having been iustly regatdful of i th:?t dutv, I now proceed to state, that it is i not my intention, upon this, or an/ other oc casion, to engage in a newspaper controversy; hut merely to make n remark or two, in rela tion to the course which Mr. M'Unfile has 1 thought fit to pursue, and which, he seems to belie\ e, wits necessary to the protection | of hi* character. The mls-st ttement of facts which he made is acknowledged by him. Denial would have added nothing to his justifica tion. He regrets exceedingly that Mr. Camp bell rind my?elf, in correcting hi* erroneous statement of the fact*, should have thought it necessary, to make the allusion we did, to the Vice President. And why so! Hecause, he says, the Vice President, *? had no agen cy in the production of the letter which had proved so iffemwr, further than to suggest the rra*ure of one or two sentences, and the mitigation of the lan^iagc of |K'rhups as many more." I certainly have no disposi tion to rob Mr. Duffle of the credit of being the author of tint letter; whiUt, nt the same time, I r?wtive t'?at it was made out with the knowledge and approbation, and under the direct of the Vice President. I, therefore, felt myself c died on to notice it, with fu'.l authority to tiuiiie that gentle man. Wh it part he nr.iy have taken in drafting nnd preparing it, and how Tar the rashness of tl<c avowed author may have been brindled by his suggestions, arc mutters about which 1 ieel the most cutiie indiffer ence, nor arc tltey at ail material to my pur pose. But Mr M'Duflic add*, 111 should have been more than willing myself to avoid any controversy; and there is certainly nothing in the substance of the> communication of Gen. Metcalfe and Mr. Campbell, that 1 should have deemed it necessary to itotice in this public manner, but for the terms in whiclt they have characterised the error which I committed." And again-^'Hhat tie ?vill not assume the responsibility of inter preting our language, for fear he should do injustice," tcc. What, under such circumstances, shopld have been Mr. M'DufAe's course, as a gen tleman? Jt %vns the terms in which hii er 1 or was characterised to which he objects. If those tefms were offensive to him, his re medy, as a man of honor and bravery, was obvious. If the language was so " equivo cd" that lie could not ?? assume the respon nihility" of interpretation, it was not less plain. Its interpretation, or any honorable satisfaction, if callcd for, would have been jmtmptly furnished. He seems to have for gotten, that, whiUt lis thinks he has laid askic his own judgment in the construction of the Iangu.ige used, and has acted on his fe irs of what might he the construction of others, he must necessarily l>econsidered as viewiug thd language as offensive. Opprobrious epithets are not the weapons with which men of hon<* should settle their controversies. I will not descend to them. It is sufficient for ray purpose that Mr M'DufTic considered himself as insnlted. Otherwise, his replication was uncalled for; and that, without demanding an explanation, he Ivis, by his publication, attempted to re deem himself from the influence of that sup posed insult. THOMA8MB FCALPE. Siw.c putting the preceding account to pre**, wc huve receive*! the sequel of this dUpittc, which in substan;e >s a* follows:? Mr. M'Duffie writes to Cicn.
