WASHINGTON, October II.
To the Public:-Ths speech OF Gen.
Jubal A. Early in Richmond on October
IIth. 1881, has been read by me. SO tar
az it relates to myself, the rank OF Gen.
Early in the confederate army entities the
speech to that much, that it brings me TO
5ecide whether l shall demand saiisfac-
tion fom Gen. Early for what Was in
tend ID by him as Al insult. After years
Of uuuroyoked malice and indirection be
presents the issues sluarely and grossly
| II admits Of no DISCUSSION, and would
neither be NIT nor eyaded by re-crimina-
tion. Iso accept it, and my decision, ar
rived al. ..advisedly and maturely, Is that
the rank Of Gen. Early, which Is his sole
claim to recognition, does not outweigh
the other considerations which forbid
such recognition. The public Of Virginia
need no specification Of the facts CONCERN
ing Gen. Early on which rely for this
action. only desire to make it known
that am not ignorant nor nesleetiui OF
his speech. l could not have satisfaction,
and can have none even in describing
hi,a as he is known by all men. He may
therefore proceed with his falsehoods and
would be insults, assured of immunity as
far as am concerned. WM- MAHONE.
