You commence by giving your understanding Of
the occurrence on Tucsday last TO which your note
REFERS before you ask the questions to which you
desire an answer and shall follow your example
of giving mine before answer.
After presenting my views to the audcbcc against
the union of the Government aud the Banks, pro-
cecded to reply 10 the objections which had heard
alleged from various quarters against the separation
and among others, that the proposition to separate
had originated with Col. Benton, and WAS what is
called one of his humbugs. This | directly contra
dicted and asserted TO b. untrue stating the
time the facts ON which | rested my asserton.-
This, in your reply, as l understood you, yop pos
itvcy denied, aud asserted, that in spite Of all that
had been said he the author Of the PROPOSE
ton and, in proof read proposition that Col. Ben
ton made in the Senate in 1896 for the sepaIaton.-
1t was then, requested you to give way, whenl
asked you, il You did not know that Gen. Gordon OF
Virginia had made "A proposition in the House Of
Representatives for the separation in 1884, two years
before Col. Benton had made his and that Gondy
Racquet had suggested il before General Gordon had
