Tho Difference between Hsn. Herschel v.
Johnsen and Govoruer Smith, Of Gesrsia,
must be Settled with Pistols Of Csursc.

must be Settled with Pistols Of Course.
From the Chattanooga Timesl
The difference between Hon. Herschel v. John
son and Governor Smith, Of Georgia, that some
time ago threatened to be serious, had sunk out
Of sight for some days, but now flashes up, and
In . more threatening aspect The history OF the
quarrel Is, brieny: Mr.. johnson was, a. reported,
proffered . seat on the supreme bench OF the
State BY Governor smith at or about the time he
was inaugurated. The Governor "went back
on his promise. Mr.. johnson was not satisfied
with the treatment he had received, and was not
slow to express his classification to his friends
privately. This, although It came TO his ears the
Governor did not or could not well take notice
o.. But MS opportunity came. Il wa: furnished
ner In Macon, In which the Governor thought he
saw q repetition Of what Mr.. johnson should
have said privately regarding his lthe Govern
Court appointment.
SEVERAL NOTES PASSED
between the two honorable gentlemen, Mr..
dinner speech he had not referred 70 Governor
Smith In any way that Governor Smith, nor his
dealings with him, were not, so 70 speak, in his
mlnd's eye. This Governor Smith seems TO have
taken a. q. denial upon the part Of johnson OF
the authenticity OF the "rumored conversations
Of the latter upon the matter Of the pronered
lillmept Of the promise by his EIcellency. The
Governor appears TO have taken 1t as q general
rather than specific denial, and so says in his
letter closing the nrst correspondence. But
NOW CONES Mr.. JOHNSON,
and 10 long letter sharply reminds the Cover
nor that he has committed discourtesy, II not
been guilty Of an untruth. in alleging that his
disclaimer covered any ground except that he
was referring, or intending TO refer, 70 the Gov
ernor In his Macon speech.
In short, In reopening the controversy, Mr.
johnson squArely coutrovsrts tho truth OF ma.
terial portion OF the note By which Governor
Smith sought 10 close the quarrel.
AND NOW WE HEAR fHoh GOVERNOR sNuTH,
through the Atlanta Herald, and he says, In
effect, that matters have come 70 head; that
hencef0rth the controversy will be withdraw
from the arena OF the newspapers; that he will,
10 good time, dsprove the last allegations OF
Mr.. johnson. And upon this the Herald, (the
editors OF which are upon intimate terms with
Governor Smith,) slgnlncantly remarks that
q man like lIerschel v. johnson must be an
swered.

city and Davenport 1t places the matter
in the hands of the Secretary of War. and
seems to give equal privileges to all horse
railway companies on either side of the
river to cross the Island with their cars.
No other arrangement would be satistac-

same that he brought forward in the late
Congress, and which was then published
