EDIroR HERALD:-I see IN your
paper of August 18th, what Is intend
ed to be q reply to my account OF the
FIy's Store barbecue. published IN
YOUR paper Of August 18th, which re-
ply to say the least OF it, IL wide OF
the mark. In lieu ola lengthy dis
cussion will state that the ''erlt1-
cisms,n as he calls our account, are
solid facts, and he knows they are.
We arrived on the grounds on the
9Th inst about 20 minutes past ~
o'clock Mr.. .Gooch was then In the
stand. We left Mr.. Roberts short
distance in our rear, or perhaps ne
was then on the grounds; SO you see
Mr.. Roberts could then have had one
and one half hours to speak before
dinner. .it
I then asked a number of gentle
men If they would let Col. Bibb
speak. They very readily said Ger
| tainIy he should speak" Col. Btbo
said he would speak. Other parties
being interviewed said "rest easy,
Bibb shall speak, Nothing more
until after dinner. Mr.. Roberts then
took the stand and knitted the Demo-
cratic party about an hour and half.
Col. Bibb then, although he had
taken notes in order to reply to Mr..
Roberts, asked to be excused from
| speaking, saying he had BEEN waited
upon and requested not to speak, and
saying if he did it would get up dis
turbance, and it was against the rules
of their order for one member to Op.
pose another in q public discussion
We then very readily excused Col
Bibb. .r.-2 a
Gentlemen, you should not have
agreed SO readily tor Col Bibb tt
speak" ''rhe bloody resolutions,
as they are termed, were then read
