No explanation that Mr. Klni; made availed, and it was not until he had a personal interview with Mr. Buchanan, when. In a Bharp way born of indignation at the manner In which h<? had been treate 1. he gave his version of the affair, mat amity was established. The letters of Presiden I Buchanan in Mr Klng'a posses.-lon are in a clear and delicate handwriting, as fresh In api?earan.e as If they had been recently written instead of thirty years and more ag ?. The first of the correspondence Is on official mbje.-is. ar,?1 one wonders to-lay. when personal n>tes ?,n b ?slness affairs are rare, that the President had time to write and to concern himself about matters that are nowadays Invariably Intrusted to a clerk The President writes to Mr King to come and see Km in the evening.
