To Mas. BENTON


Ever prompt to acknowledge fault as to resent an
injury, now Mrs. Benton, through most sincerely
ask tho forgiveness of your niece, Miss Mcdowell for
the letter that addressed to her In which done
her very great injustice The only apology that can
Offer is that respects Miss Mcdowell have been
me by every tic of gratitude and friendship.


Respectfully yours, ---"


Governor Thomas argues that this last letter of
apology was extortcd from the writer by the pow
er of Colonel Benton. However that may be, we
have reason to believe that the writer if produced
before Court, would testify exactly the tenor of
the first letter with what proof OF the plausblity
OF such testimony remains to be seen, though we
are free to express the opinion that the only
proofs would be the inierences of an extremely
sensitive mind. .
And here we leave the case for the present. h
is unpleasant TO treat of such delicate but
public tribunal has made it an net of necessity,
to the end OF right understanding of the subject.
We expect the Court will decide upon the continu-
ance of the cause tomorrow and what may oc-
cur in the interim, is beyond our capacity ofpro-
phecy.
