HUMILITY AND SINCERITY.
There are two other strong points in your
reply which | will notice and BASS to other
matters. ] quote: "Bv resolution of our

CoHncllot Brunswlck, in spirit of generosity,
To share with me the penalty Of usurplng the
rights and privileges OF the Representative of
the First district"
Now, really, this 10 too bad!
Tour friends all say that nothing has kept
you under but your distressing diflidence and
maldenly modesty, and here it is! You never
can say all yoU ought to say when your own
interest Is Involved. You are a. humble rs
Urlah Heep, as sincere - PeCksnih. You are
all the time giving your friends trouble to
supply what you, through humility or mod
esty, or something else, fail to say. And here
Is case In hand. Ju1t see how you have
humbled yourself. Listen: "In this instance
l must request, etc, in a spirit of generosity
TO share with me the penalty of usurping, "
etc' why 50 generous as to request
your friends to acrept share OF your
punishment? You are too good, too sc nervous.
But you say, that the Representative was
jealous OF you, was malignant, wished TO pun
lsh you, ieit that you were usurplng his RICH 5
and privileges. because you were there, and
sent by the Council at that. You know that
TO be fact. the truth? You say Yes | do ;
have said 1t, and meant that the people of
THIS district should understand me in that
way. NV language admits OF no other mean
Ing" Wei, if you have told the truth. that
Representative is a wicked wretch, but IL YOU
have not-if you have knowingly, willfully
withheld or concealed from the public any
material fact for the purpose of misleading
and deceivIng them, and of iniurIng that
representative, then what?
The truth is that you, Dunn and Day were
sent as delegation by the City Council of
brunswick, at nv special request, made by
letter 10 Mayor spears.

THE JULY VISIT TO WASHINGTON.
Your visit to Washington in July was to get
an IN rease of pay for The pos Office IN Bruins
wick, and to have mail service from Bruins
wick, via Jekyl Island, etc, 10 Ferna. dina.
You met me in Savannah on your way, but
dd not speak OF your purpose. You met me
IN Washington on July %, and was stil silent.
When the First aud Second Assistant Post
Master General heard [ had returned, you
were asked Saturday if you tad consulted
me. You sad. no; that YOU would not have

tod you had ample time to see me. You re-
fused 10 do 40, and left. You failed in the OBJ
lect OF your visit. Yet, you told the MORNING
NEWS reporter that you had a prom Sc" of
an increase for pr. Blaiu. Postmaster.
Your reply to Waddell, who criticised your
attempt to ignore your Representative and
ITO lift yourself by pulling at your own
galluses," IL that YOU did not know It twas
necessary or proper TO see your representa-
tive 1t seems you learned one fact by your
visit. Still, you did think you required aid,
| for you asked it OF Mr.. Blonnt. You publish
his letter TO prove 1t was mot necessary OF
proper" to consult your own Representative
and he supports You strongly, Indeed. He
says to you: when you came to Washing
ton Mr.. Norwood was absent. AS
Mr.. Norwood was absent, it woulu seem per
fectly legitimate for you 10 have applied for

J returned Mr.. Biount declined to act further
You try again to parry the blow by making
