Cash) bv Elerbe as the cause of his second offense at Col. Shannon which resulted in the fatal duel: (I may here perenthesize that I did not suggest any question propounded by (joi. buannon to? the witness, nor tlid 1 ever hear a Question propounded that impugned the character of Mrs. Cash) :and 5th.the letter of Col.

Cash' has r i a i s j ; never speciuea anyming as onensive but the aforesaid marginal clause); of which marginal elause Col. Shannon stated that he knew my explanation and that it completely exonerated him. though he declined to enter upon it further as it was a matter for my justi fication alone, and therefore peculiarly and exclusively mine. In addition to the evidence thus briefly glanced at, which renders it impossible for an un prejudiced person who will for a mo ment consider it. to doubt foran instant mv entire innocence of blame for the Cash-Shannon duel, I may here state that after a brief absence I find upon my return to my home m Camden so cordial a reception among my fellow itizeus that lean discover nochange whatever in their demeanor towards me, nor doubt but that the correspon dent. C H., was imposed upon through sinister motives, By some per son unfriendly to me. I have thus briefly synopsized the evidence contained in the lettersjove referred to, all, of which are published by the friends of Col. Shannon to show that my vindication from the imputa tions ast upon ine by yonr eorrespon- dent is perfect, complete, unequivocal and irrefragable, without the necessity of a syllable of statement from me ; and that the statements which l may inci dentally make in the1 following expla nation and history of ' the aforesaid marginal clause cannot be suggested or influenced by any anxieties on that sub ject. : - This "marginal clause" which has been so often referred to, never existed so far as I am aware, except in the nrst crude,- rough' draft from which the complaint in the aforesaid case was proposed, and in a single copy ot the same made by a copyist to whom, through mistake, it was handed instead of the complaint to be copied. This copy I served on Messrs. Leitner & Dunlan.Col. Cash's attorneys, but soori after, upon discovering the mistake which had been made, I recalled it with their permission as incorrect, and sup plied its place iwith a correct copy of the complaint. Upon the margin of the rough draft after it was written, I wrote several al legations, which subsequently occurred to my, mind as calculated to increase the validity of the complaint, and among them one which reads thus : All these marginalia I instructed my wife, who drew off the complaint for me. and who otten acts as my connaen tial clerk or secretary, to incorporate into the body of the complaint, except the one lust quoted, which is the "mar ginal clause, about which so much has een said, This I instructed her to leave out of the complaint altogether, as, upon reconsidering it, l saw that its language might be misconstrued into a reflection upon the character of Mrs. Cash, which I had never intended. My wife performed the work with faultless correctness, drawing up uie compiainc, incorporating mto it the k other margi nalia, as I had instructed her, and throwing out altogether the one quoted above, and signing it with the names of Col. Sharrnoa aad myseii, m per .nana writinsr. To this complaint thus drawn uo. my client, the complainant. Conrad M. Weingep, mad&oath, subscribing his" proper signature before me as notary public, and I also signing it in tbafcpflj cial capacity. This complaint was laid before Judsre Maekey at Chester by me. and he granted the injunction prayed for. Previously ,tq idoing so, however, and after looking over the complaint. he inauired if there was not a relation shin existing between Elerbe and Mrs. Cash, and being informed that she was his sister, suggested that an allegation similar to the one quoted above and suppressed, would greatly mons copied by myself from the ongi nat summons written by myself, and also wrapped around the complaint, so that the two parcels comnlaint and summons, on the one hand, , and rough MAKES.

When she informed me that she had the complaint in the house and had made several copies, but had not the rough draft which I had prepared for her to copy from, I asked to see the complaint, which she hroUght, and which l found to be indeed the com plaint I'Svas so much disturbed by this discovery that though It was; nearly midnight and my opcq more than half, a mile away, I wentimmcdiately thither and found that the paper which I had been exhibiting as the complaint was the crude, rough draft from which the complaint had been, drawn up, and which was nevfeT intended to meet any other eyes than those of myself and of my wife as my confidential clerk or secretary. Kuch is my "explanation of the mar ginal clause of which Col. Shannon, in his letter of June 5th, says be knew, it is" corroborated by the certificate of Judge Mackey here subjoined, and by a statement substantially similar to.this Avhich 1 gave to ray friend Col. Ulair.to be used at his discretion, towards the last of May immediately after his return from a visit to Col. Cash. If Col. Cash has never received this explanation it is due to the following circumstances: In .November last, immediately after 1 had an intimation that Col. Cash had taken offerise at Col. Shannorrand myself, I called on Col. Shannon and expressed my intention to write immediately to Col. Cash, and assuming, as 1 have ever done, the entire responsibility for the manner in which the papers are drawn up, to explain to him frankly, as above, how this "marginal clause" had got into notice. Col. Shannon replied that it was unnecessary, as he had already written to Col. Cash and completely satisfied him upon the subject. I, there fore, by his advice, desisted from my purpose and had no further intimation of his being offended until I received his insulting challenge, which precluded the possibility of explanation. I may be permitted here to bear wit nesstto the correctness of all Col. Shan non's statements, even where they are contradicted by some of the certificates. He never read any of the papers, never signed any. Messrs! Leitner & Dunlap and the sheriff certify that his signa ture in his own handwriting was to the complaint and to the copy served Messrs. L. & D. This is a mistake of theirs (doubtless inadvertent) as both the papers now in my possession will show. Yours truly, W. S. DePass. Camden, S. C, July 25, 1880. A Happy Inrpalse.
