Ny DEAR SIR:In answer to yours Of Thursday last,
will say sou what would be riilng to say 10 but
| lew others. At any tine within the past twelve or
eighteen months it would have given me great pleasure
to resign my ofiies, could have done consistently
with my self respect. But the storms OF wholly IN
deserved abuse with which have been assaed during
that PERIOD and the threats OF Impeachment, arrest
sssaesnauo1, constantly made against me, have
compelled 70 continue In the quiet discharge OF my
duty Otherwise should have been regarded rs either
tacidy admitting tie truth Of the charges against me,
or as quAilng before the threats 0! my enemies.
esnwhe however several sessions OF the ?gislaure
have passed withou, soge charge having been formal
~ preferred against me. Then, recently, reasons oil
quasi public character have determined TO perseyere
n that N, political friends and BY this term
mean the Southern Rights Party great majority Of
whom are not and sscsssionists have been
sut ced to what seems to me, in modern times an u1.
exam Piled persecution Ny position WAS such that Was
totsy unable TO relieve them, and yet could not re-
eouce il to my conscience appear 10 desert them
Ia their need.
Gould at ANY time, by my resignation have aided in
restoring the peace Of the State which, In my opinion
can only be done by giving TO the whole people the fullest
assurance Of Profession TO their constitutional rights
should cheerully have any mere personal oh
jscions might have entertane 70 such step. need
hardly say TO you that would be most happy now to
lay down my cfhcs il this or ct could be attained
Soui DO ASSURED that my SUCCESSOR would be conser

some half dozen Federal officers rode up to

dinner was over, and that she was not

GERS answered that she had several servant
women about the house who could do III ,
