A CARD.

In an editorial of the Nashville
Wing, of the Oath ult., w. ]. Graves,
Of Kentucky. is reported to have made
speech in that city on the day pre-
ceding, III which he made various
charges against me, which require
brief notice. The general abuse which
was levelled at me by the gentleman,
like the kindred slang from his associ-
ate orators and editors, is disregarded.
But the gentleman has made two
distinct charges against me, to which
l feel bound to answer. First, that |
caused the death of my friend Mr.. Ben
ming, the editor of the Kentucky Ga
zette, by refusing him permission to
surrender my name as the author Of an
anonymous article in that paper, when
demanded; thereby, in a cowardly man
ner, involving him in a contest which
ended in his death.
The proof in the case showed clear.
ly, that Mr.. Benning, when called on
for the name, told the applicant that he
would see the author and give him an
answer at given time. When that
time arrived, Mr.. Bennlng told the ap-
plicant that he had not yet seen the au-
thor, but promised that he should haze
has name the neat morning; agith schich
promise he svos satisfied. The conflict
and the catastrophe arose from some
remarks made by Mr.. Benning after
wards. For the proof Of the above
statement, see the annexed statement
of Dr. A. K. Marshall. ~
am further charged by the gentle
man with having used money in the
late canvass, to purchase votes; and
that the funds were furnished by the
locofoco party of Kentucy.
| annex my affidavit marked ~ as
contradiction to this charge, and
and might await the production of
what well know they cannot produce
the evidence to support it. | have
on several occasions, before large as
semblages of the people, given the lie
direct to it, and the democratic press
has published my denial It is, how
ktser, still, repeated by the press and
vi the stump. The Louisville Jour
nal and the Lexington Observer and
Reporter have again repeated it.
will not enter into controversy with
the editor of either of those presses. I
leave the first to that public contempt
which he has SO well merited, and so
richly enjoyed, and the second leave
to the discipline which he occasional
" receives after night in the streets of
Lexington from his fair friends. But
repetition of the charge by person
Of standing in his party, and of unfor-
tunate notoriety in the Union, requires
of me a different notice.
For having made the above charges
on his own responsibility, as vouched
for by the editor of the Nashville Wing,
] pronounce w. j. Graves liar and
slanderer.
| have no doubt that / was charged
with having received and disbursed
money in the canvass, to induce reluc-
tant wings to subscribe literally towards
a fund for a similar purpose in that
party. now charge it upon them,
and / call upon the Lexington commit
tee the whig electors, and the active

NIcHoLAsvILLE, Sept. 5, 1914.
DEAR SIR: | was at the trial Of c.
Wickliffe for the killing of Benning,
and my recollection of the evidence is,
that Mr.. Wickliffe called on Mr.. Ben
mig for the name of the author of
some publication which had appeared
in his (Benning'sj paper, and that
Benning deferred the name until he
could see the author, and fixed time
when Wickliffe should call again; that
Mr.. Wickliffe called at the time APP
pointed, when Benning told him that
he had not been able to see the author,
but that he would see HIM that day,
and the name should be given up
Mr.. Wickliffe agreed to this, but re-
marked, that if he would give up the
name, he would save him the trouble
of finding the author. Benning re-
pied that when Wicklifie learned
who was the author, he would be the
last man in Lexington, Tor perhaps
in Kentucky,) he would wish to find.
And upon this remark the difficulty a.
rose, which resulted in the death of
Benning.
Such is my recollection of the evil
dence, to which | was very attentive,
feeling, as | did, great anxiety for the
acquittal of Charles who was relation
with whom | had been intimate from
childhood.
Yours, respectfully,
A. X. MARSHALL.
