R. 1L Co., ; Fbesipknt'b Oiticb, - i Raxkigh, September 13, 1881j - In asking space in your eoloriis to reply to the second onslaught of Senator Vance I beg your readers, to bear in mind that I did not itutngu rate the controversy, . and 'r that; xrry appeal to the great tribtmsl of pubEd opinion was forced upon nW by' tho Senator, j j Some of the matters apparently at issne have been already settled, nd it is well are. to determine whaf these Senator Yance in hiu first inter-; view asserted that the vrOrd "contin ually" was found bth "in the origfc Hal bill and I the grant of the extent sion," and enlifirhtened ' the reporter with an ingenious argument to howi tUO W1BUUIU f Ui. DUU1 lyjlDIWiij though the word mighty appear 'technical to a casual examiner." When the "casual examiner" after dilligent search, fails to . find the word thus quoted and commented upon, the Senator grandlj says that such quibbling unworthy of notice." j .. . -. ; He also stated in the interview? "At the expiration of two weeks there had been no renewed application for the extension complying with the conditions. I conclude; the ! present controllers were procrastinating to gain time, and wrote letters to Gov ernor Jarvisl and Dr. Worth with drawing my consent." . I proved by the statement of Governor Jarvis that I presented the petition on the ninth day after the meeting "pre pared strictly as agreed upon," and thus exposed his misstatement in re gard to that fact This, too, the Senator deems "quibbling," and pisses by. But an enlightened pub iio cannot so esteem it, because it was this venf alleged delay which he ollered as his excuse for withdraw ing his assent to the extension, sol emnly promised nine days before. If there was no procrastination, and lie does not now pretend there was any, the Senator, is left without justifica tion for his action. THE CHARGE OF FRAUD. This brings me to the charge made in the interview and reiterated in tlj" leLlei'i bUttt, '-iV. 0f Dr. Worth j to the extension" was "obtained by fraud." The Senator now says the fraud consisted in my getting Dr.: Worth's signature 'fin ignorance of his (Vance's) letter,'' thovgh not in ignorance of the Sena tor's purpose to withdraw his assent from that grant, for the knowledge of such purpose by Dr. Worth he i is obliged to admit, Here he Senator pins his reliance to the strict letter of the interview, and nolongermakes the reporter the scape goat to bear all its errors. Until the publication of this last letter I understood the point of his charge to be that I had procured the signature without put tin? Dr. Worth on bis iraard as to the views of the Senator, and his at tempted withdrawal. It did not then occur to me, as I suppose it did not occur to any reasonable human being, that Senator Vance intended to base his charge af fraud upon my obtaininff the signature of Dr. Worth before the actual receipt of his letter, when the amplest notice of tne sen ator's views and purposes '' had been given. So grave an accusation from so high source upon such a slender foundation did not seem to me pos sible. In this,however, it seems that I am mistaken; but if X was in error Senator Vance himself led me info' lfc Any one who reads thed interview and the card of ftiw" next diyfprij perceive that tneirirhole scope-fog ifr impress the public with the idea that Dr. Worth Iwas not aware of his with drawal when he signed the extension; and in answer I proved that Dr. Worth had full and complete notice of the withdrawal.. ,In his interview the Senator couples both letters to gether and; speaks of their contents as the same, and if the contents of the letter to Governor Jarvis and the contents of the letter Dr. Worth were tho same, a notice of the con tents of the one was notice of the other. j "I wrote letters," he says,: t Governor Jarvis and Dr. - Worth, withdrawing my consent to the ex tension under any circumstances, and begging them not to act without me " i In his card he says: "Again, you say in relation to my letteas to 'Gov ernor Jarvis and Dr. Worth with drawing my assent to the expected application' &c. It was not until the Senator's third attempt to write the "history of this transaction" that he discovered : that Dr. Worths letter was "fuller than the one to Governor Jarvis," , and yet it seems that so insignificantvas tho letter that it was not even pre served by Dr. Worth, and the Sena tor is unable to publish its actual contents. Am I to blame for failing to discover the difference in the' let ters of the Senator, when I never caw the letters? I took the Sena tor's word for the contents as he stated s them in his interview and card. .("". If the Senator , stands on I fDr. Worth's ignorance of the letter lit er ally, when he had full, knowledge of its contents, tho assignees need have no cause of alarm about " the validity of their extension. , J SKXATOa's CHAS8& KIB XS IOSO- -i ? t,z'U KAKCB Or TOT -FACT;,..- J.iig t The' Senator says: ; - . ; ' . 1 never saw ; the letter which Governor Jarvis vratetoJJ Worthy Sublished by .

Worth, on the 15th, that Governor Jarvis had signed the. -application, whereas the record shows -that he did not sign it until the; ICth. If Mr. Badger did say that, he had Governor Jarvis written authority for the assertion, for Governor Jar vis, in his letter of the 14th to , Dr. Worth, j which ; Senator fVance - pub: lishes in. immediate connection with the signing, uses this language: , "The situation seems to me to be that we have to take the responsibil ity to extend the time or tho respon Blbiuty wj atop tne wut. ; z v.vv to take the responsibility to extend the time. If you agree with me you can, in; your own way, say so to An drews in writing.. I have already done it for myself." .! . ! If Mr. Badger was incorrect in his statement as to the, time of , signing by Governor Jarvis, every fair-minded man will pee. that; it - was Governor Jarvis who misled bin by the para graph quoted, from his letter. It must, be remembered also that Gov-r ernor Jarvis , participated in all the transactions on , "which the Senator bases his charge of fraud against me. Did 3 send a - messenger to Dr. Wortht to get him to sign the exten siont So did. Governor Jarvis, for Mr. Badger-bore his ' letter to the Doctor also! - Did I reqaest Dr. Worth1 verbally, through my agent, 3Ir. Badger, to uign the extension? Governor Jarvis did more. He wrote the "urgent letter," as the Senator lla it, to induce the Doctor to' sign tho extension. Di I fail to mention the fact that the Senator had written Dr,Worth a letter? ip did thJ5ovr ernor, for he no where mentions 11 in his letter'--Did I send a commumca' tion on Sunday; as thw fienatorl em' phasizesT Sof did tha Governor. .

If tho Senator will per mit me to tate legal advice upon this point, my' counsel ; suggests that ' Judge Iteade, just - a little further down 'in the opinion1 quoted, says: "A diferent ruld "prevails 'in public agencies, where a majority may act"., Ihe Senator, as a lawyer, ought to . quote all the opinion.) , , Judge Ituf -tin, in the State vs. Lane, 4 Iredell, on page 455, to which' the Senator refers, say3: 'Tt is the old principle of the common law that tho interest of the public, that the powets of a public nature - should be exercised, makes it r.ecessary: li: to . ; enablo the majority to act iu tho . oppo -sition to the minority.''
