For the Times
Mn. GREEY:-I find myself under the
necessity of asking of you a small space,
promising that it shall be the last on this
unpleasant subject. Judge Digges says that
| come down on him with wholesale denun-
Citations, and charged him with falsehood -
never charged him with fulsehood; the
strongest remark was that certain state
ment 'was simply false" In my vindica-
ton had to deal with these statements and
the reason that l wrote my communication
was TO declare them false. l distinctly dis
claimed all personal allusion to Judge D.;
and | appear again in your columns not for
the purpose of indulging in personal abuse,
but to bring my record and testimony. Mr..
Burton and B. Deatherage were the only
persons present when the occurrence took
place, and the only disinterested testimony
that can be introduced, and they are too well
known 10 need any comment from me.
FAYETTE, June II, 1856.
Col. B. DEATHERAGE-- Dear Sir:-I wish 10
get statement of the facts from YOU in regard to
what took place at the election Of County School
Commissioner at the March Term, 1886, SO fur as
you may recollect the same.
Your Ob't Serv't, II. L. BROWN.
FAYETTE, June II, 1886.
JUDGE BRowN--DeGr Sr:ln reply to your note
OF this day ;, | will give statement of my recol-
lection of what passed in the County Court al lis
March Term last in relation to the appointment of
County School Commissioner. On the third day
Of the Court Judge Sweatnam proposed TO appoint
School Commissioner, Judge Brown objected Oh
the ground that the Court could not appoint al
that time. That the regular term for appointment
had passed After some debate Oh tie law, tc
which Judge Sweatnam referred Judge Brown
Brown proposed to postpone the matter until the
next Court, which was overrued by the balance
of the Court. Judge Brown then said the Cour
should counsel together and make the best ap.
poiutment that could be made. Judge Brown said
that 4. Hendrix would make a good Commission.
| er, that his term OF office was hear a close, L
which Judge Sweatnain objected. Judge Sweat
proposed that each one should vote by writing
down the name of his candidate, which was dont
by Judges ID. and s., and after some time spent il
talking, was by them deposited in hat. Judg,
B. said Saltonstall was good enough for him, anc
offered to throw in the hat a copy of the SchoO
law which he had in his hand, which was object
ed to.
There was some further conversation which
do not now recolect | did not consider the Cour
unanimous in Mr.. SaltoUstalPs removal, or tha
Judge Brown voted for any person. Neither di,
| suppose from his course, that he regarded tn
action of the Court as legal in making the appoint
ment OF that time. that he took any part in thu
final action of the court When Mr.. Burton, th
Deputy Clerk, asked him what kind of entry shoul,
be made, he referred him to the balance Of tn,
Court, and said he had nothing to do with the mat
ter, or something 10 that effect. He remarked tc
me immediately afterwards, at the court-hous
door that he did not consider the appointment legal
Respectfully, BIRD DEATHERAGE.
