It is true that being provoked by bis insults, I assaulted him. It is true that I struck him sev- eral blows with my fist, and con tinued to strike until the bystaud ers inter post'd. ^It is true that without tet iiing from the spot, and within a few seconds after we were separated, I picked up a slick or slat that was Ijiug on the ground, and with it struck him over the head But 1 d'd not approach him from bis rear, bnt each time advanced •nd struck him lace to face. I confess, in view of the oftice I have the honor to bold, that my conduct eanuot be iii<titied; that it was my duty to stiff* i wrong rather than punish ih< -virngditer by un lawful nieans. >i:<l i have nothing to say by way «•!' palliaiiou or ex cuse. I trust, however, that a brave and gene:ous public wi!l loucede that there aie times when -‘.’uibiar auce coasts to be a virtu .” Tbe s* »ere illness of a member of my family has prevented my ear lier attention to this matter.
