that Of the frsnd or exposure claimed /
know nothing, nor have ever contro-
7erted hat point. But / have said:
First-That the man who wrote the &C.
account never witnessed it, as the impress
sion was made by his notice OF it; Sec
ond-that be was aeyer authorized by
DR.. Rice or Major Rhea to write the ar
ticle. This DR.. Rice told me in q con.
Versation / had with him after | had
called him ont to come to my house, be
and Major Rhes, and that would 20
with them and let them. make their own
conditions so they did not hurt the me-
dun. The Doctor will bear me witness
that / was very solicitous for him to do
so, urging that after what had been pub.
lished he owed it to the community as
well as himself to do so; but after all l
failed to get his consent TO engage in Che
investigation. This is what Major Rhea
says 10 his card al published in the APP.

nor myself authorized Captain Gift to

this point should be settled, that the
author Of the exposure" never saw

into PRINT he did it without any author.
ity from the par5ee who made the in.
investigation. Third did 6rst throug Oh
the Appeal invite these gentlemen to an
Investigation, aud the only condition
that | required Of them was to publish
what occurred. After failing to draw
them out through the Appeal | made a
similar proposition through the LEDGER,
saying to the editor Of the LEDGER, "as
you published the article, l wish you to

set no ''pitfalls'' for any one, but / have
read in an old book Of persons digging a

gard to his addressing 0 note to Brother

it to Red Face he said that any or oil
OF the gentlemen named could come and
Investigate the subject thoroughly but
the man who wrote that article Tor the

he is, he knew more Of this man than
