RICHMOND, March Is, 1879.
General 3. I. johnson:
Dear Sir.-Your letter OF the 18th instant,
"excusing yourself from any further par.
ticipation in the Riyes cases as counsel" IS
received.
After the Governors published disavowal
of nv authority TOR / could have no all-
thorty but from HIM to invite you into the
cases as counsel, cannot say that your let
ter Of withdrawal took me at all by sur
prise.
beg now to assure you OF my profound
thanks for the able, active, and efficient aid
rendered by YOU to me during the few days
OF our icint service. The very great ability
displayed by you as chairman OF the Senate
committee for the Rives investigation was
fully equaied by your arguments and Sug-
geStions while in conference with me. Your
declared readiness to perform any work,
and TO 60 anywhere at my solicitation, enti-
ties you to, and l hereby tender without
measure, my grateful thanks.
The form OF petition prepared by you at
my request for habedS corpus, to be used in
the cases of the indicted judges, connects
YOU with this litigation, destined to become,
il it is not already. the most celebrated in
trust that YOU will accept, as l shall ever re-
gard this petition, which will be used very
soon (as the capios against the judges has
already been issueD as fitting memorial OF
YOUR services in the cause of Virginia in
this her last, and I believe her greatest,
wrong and outrage.
/ do not know that it will ever be in my
power to rcciprocate the valuable aid you
have rendered lne Dor now desire TO ac
cent it as pcrsonaD; bat should opportunity
ever offer (unleSs become obivious to th(
instincts that now animate mel that oppor
tunitv will not fail Of improvement.
Expressing my deepest regret that nave
been, even unwittngly. the instrument o
causing YOU to occupy, even for shor
time, 4 position so delicate as to make
painful,
am very sincerely and truly,

NOFFETT LIQUOR LAW.

An effort will be made to-day to have the
House of Delegates consider the proposed
substitute for the Alotiett liquor law. which
proposes in effect to restore the Old license
law, with an increase OF rates OF l5 per cent.
The friends of the new measure, 1t must
be confessed, have very little hope OF sue
cess. The disposition now is rather TO
amend the MofTett law, so as to make it more
efficient. With the present loopholes IN II,
and the absence OF any provision for ap.
pointment Of officers to see it enforced ana
the imperfections of the register, it is Won
dcrful that it has increased the public reve-
nue. so much as it has.

4. johnson.
RICHMOND. VA, March II, 1870
General James g. Field, AHorRey- General:
Dear Sir,-W hen l received your note Of
the lSt instant inviting me 10 be associated
with Judge Robertson to assist you in the
Riyes matter. understood that the invita-
tion was extended by authority OF the Gov
crnor, and it was accepted by me in the be-
lief that Judge Robertson and myself were
in the case on the same footing.
1t appears by your letter published this
morning that the Governor suggested or re-
ouested you TO associate me with vou, partly
TO ob!ige very dear friend OF mine and
partly because such employment would be
without cost 10 the State, and that "the
Only induccment you had for suggesting to
Judge Robertson the propriety of inviting
General Johnson to our conference was the
supposed wishes OF the Governor, he acting
upon the assurance OF Judge Keith that his
services would be rendered gratuitously."
No one was authorized in any way to say OF
intimate or suggest that ! would act with
ont fee. No one was requested, desired, in
vited. or moved by Inc, to recommend my
appointment to the Governor or Attorney
General or any one else. The movement
was a voluntary one by my friends. and
never communicated to me until after it
was determined on, when was asked ii 1t
would be agreeable to me.
Having offered the resolution providing
for the appointment Of associate counsel,
should have felt bound to decline compen-
Sation when rendered on that ground alone;
but that was q matter solely for myself and
no: for the consideration OF the Governor or
YOU. Under these circumstances l find
ample justification FOR eNcusipg myself
