AMAZING GRACE 1

HE TUISSTXTH FOB BLOOD I
A most Ixtraordlaarj Doca-
moal.
In tho Bonham Nows of last
Friday appeared the most remarka-
ble articlo perhaps it has beon the
province of tho readers of that pa-
per to poruse—” a caid" from one
Charles D, G ratio—a document
whose insipidity is only exceeded
by its malignity and whose moan
and malicious intention doubtless
struck astonishment in tho minds
of all who read it. Appoaring in
the role of a defender of Dr. A. G.
Clopton, but in fact to subsorve a
very different purpose, tho writer
raves through a column of vituper-
ation and vile words nnd in bed-
ridden English poors out his little
soul in bitter abuse of tho editor of*
this paper, because wo prosumed to
correct hts misrepresentation of as
made, by him in a former issue of
that papor, Whatover possessed this
gentleman to begin his attacks on us,
and in the spirit in whioh they are
waged, is doubtloss a mystery to
his own friends. We bud never
assailed him, had never mentioned
him—bad hardly thought of him—
and when his first article appeared,
in whioh he so shamofu.ly misrepre-
sented our card to Dr. Clopton, and
ased such unwarranted and insult-
ing language, it was with astonish-
ment wo learned that tho author
was Charles D. Grace. Wo had
never given him credit for having
any great deal of sense, but we
thought he hat* at least a moaicum
of behavior, and would not rush
recklessly into an undortaking so
uooalled for and withal so base. Wo
have aasnranco, however, that he is
but the cat’s paw of othor parties,
who have an object 4o attain, and
that he was set on for the purpose,
not of engaging in tho discussion of
any question, (for nobody thought
him capable of that,) but to create
a personal quarrel and difficulty,
that was designed to oripple our
bps!nose and cause us trouble, that
the long-sought doslroof bcflAkiiUL
momoo^^mr^pOP^tttgttTmu possible
be aooompllshed. They patted him
on the book, and flattered bis vanity,
by making kirn beli eve that Im was
•ighty shrewd and mighty brave
valorous, and that he oould
honor by a controversy 6t this
kind.
understand
people of this community, who
know that Grace would not dure
attempt a discussion of any question
in the oolumns of a newspaper with
a man of any ability. It is further
evidenoed by the stylo and animus
of his first onslaught, and by his
attempt in bis second article to alia}*
the oensure of the public, (which
ho expected to incur by his uugol-
lant conduot,) with the statement
that “ if Barnett could rise to the
dignity of a gentleman and genteel
wit,” he would not regret a fair
controversy. When all the oountry
knows that the editor of this paper
is a gentleman held in for higher
esteem by the people than Grace oan
ever hope to attain, while wit Is not
at all essential to a disousa.on. It
would be Indelicate in us to attempt
to argue whether or not we have
this aooompliahmsnt—wit. Grace is
preenmvd to be a competent judge
of suoh matters. Is he not a gen-
tleman ol rare parts, and have not
bia inimitable sallies of wit and re-
partee often brought down juries
and oourts In this oountry, and as-
tonished the bar of the land I and is
It not a matter of street talk that
he carries the brains ef this commu-
nity in his braeohos pookot f What
then shall we say when he publishes
it to the world that our wit is only
low vulgarity, and that wo are no
gentleman? Shados of the loarnod
protect a* I But, as wo said, this is
only to hide the real motive, and we
have only instanced it to show the
■ubterfoge by which this man hopes
to escape oon-mre, by refilling to
moot us in an honorablo way, and
assuming the role of a blackguard
and a fomenter of broils an! blood-
thfd, by Brit misrepresenting us
and then insulting us in the most
•humeftil manner. The peacoable,
civil people of this oonnty are not
unaware of the real motive in this
case, and will plaoa tho blame whero among Uic vile and vicious, and be
Tfcts is all clear to those who
Sand the {risk, and to the
it rightfully belongs. If we are aot
a gentleman upon as high a level as
Charles D. Grace, and have not tal-
ent worthy of his controversial
prowess, the citizen! of this county
are wonderfully misled upon this
subject. Grace has been a lawyer
(sc-:i I ed) in this place for a number
of years, and wo hoard an old citi-
zen of Bjnham say a few days
since, that he had never known him
in fivo yoars to have but two cases
in tho District court 1 We have
beon publishing a small six-column
papor in Bonham loss than two
years, and in that timo have built up
a larger circulation and a stronger
list ot cash subscribers among the
people of tho county than any pa-
por ever published in the county
sinco it lias been a county. Have
the people ot tho county no sense of
honor or rospoctability ? and are
they no judges of whut constitutes'
a gentleman and a muiv arOrthy (if
being supported ? Or isLit beAflfee
wo are so much better oditor than
Grace is a lawyor? Which one of
the horns of this dilemma, Major,
will you impalo yuorsolf upon ?
Why this difference? Either the
poople think wo are a bettor fol-
low than you givo us credit
for, or else they think you
a mighty poor lawyer. They have
given us a good support for our pa-
