I thought I had earned the repute of a fair and candiel, if not honest man. I carne on this bench with a full dclermlnation ander oath to be an Impartía] Judye and I have kept it. I resolved that no man should have a just cause tor saying I had not given him, his attorneys and his cause a fair hearing. Some of the bar of this city have sought to make for me a difterent reputatiou, and have so far succeeded that many honorable citi.ens of this county have come to believe from want of honesty or independent manbood I have not done as I had sworn and resolved I would. As a continued dropping of water wears a stone, so this continued assault had yesterday so far woru me that I had almost resolved to leave the beuch that some other man niight take my placo. To-day I have resolved not to resirn, and at his request I will not hereafter try a case in this county when Charles It. Whitman appears In t, and will gladly exchange with other juüges to do the WOrk of this county.''
