The following communication
from our esteemed friend, Mr. Eli A.
Smith, of Walton, was intended for our
last issue, but was not received in time.
It will, we trust, set the matter of closed
doors at rest.
We regret that our publication of au
extract of a private letter from him to
us—and which was published without
his knowledge or consent—should in
volve him in a controversy about a
chafge which every citizen ot Walton
with whom we have conversed, admits
to be true:
For the Southern Watchman.
TttAT meeting with closed
AGAIN.
In reply to John Prior Edwards’ com
munication, dated 20th July, and pub
lished in the Banner man’s issue of 26th
same month, I beg leave, most respect-
fblly, to inform him. that notwithstand
ing his possitive assertion to the con
trary, there lives in Walton a man who
<dares to shoulder the responsibility of
the Watchman's article of 19th July ;
and although he professes to have acted
as Secretary of the Democratic nominat
ing Convention of this county, and no
ticed closely everything that happened
during the session of that convention
and asserts, to the best of his knowledge
and belief, the court house doors were
not closed during the day—on the con
trary, I am still ready to assert and pre
pared to prove, by any reasonable num
ber and kind or character of witnesses,
that the Democratic candidates of this
-county were nominated inside closed
•doors, and nobody, so far as 1 know, in
this community—Whig, Democrat,
or Know Nothing—who has any regard
for veracity or propriety, attempts to
deny the charge ; saving, perhaps, parti
san John; and I doubt very capitally
•whether he will now, notwithstanding
his desire for notoriety and distinction.
Now, in regard to the persons turned
out of the Convention, I have but little
to say—as immaculate John sets that all
.right by his admission that 200 men
were in the court house when the Con
vention organized, and on motion of
Judge Stroud, sconded and carried by
tlie Convention and spectators, all ex
cept the delegates withdrew; or, in other
words, were turned out • for l see no
] (difference, except in phraseology.
The delegates voted for the motion
without a dissenting voice, (so says
John) evidently requiring a clear ring
. -and empty Barn, nobody with any
brains at all would wait to be kicked
down stairs without faking the hint.
The Secretary, (John,) says the wri
ter of that article must be either foolish
or perverse, if he failed to see the pro
priety' of this measure. Then the first
term must apply to him, if he saw the
propriety of it and misrepresented it,
then the other applies to him. He can
choose which horn of the dilemma he
pleases.’’
As to the above, I |beg leave most re
€ pectfully to suggest, that cur Demo
cratic friends have a perfect right to
hold just as many closed-door meetings
as they please, and be their own judges
as to the propriety; but with all due
deference, hinting the propriety of first
ing, while the doors were closed. He
was induced to go by the misrepresen
tation of a delegate, who assured him
the . business of the Convention was
closed, and invited him up—closing the
door after them as they went. He was
very politely asked down—apologized
and went out.
The whole-souled Democrat alluded
to, I care very little about, any way.—
This much is true of him : he voted for
C. J. McDonald for Governor; he also
supported H. V. Johnson, in preference
to Jenkins, in the last gubernatorial
election, and it is said supported the
Johnson ticket throughout. This
think makes up a pretty strong case of
Democracy.
Allow me, in conclusion, to say, 1
am no partizan—take no active part
in politics—to the best tf my recollec
tion have never attended a closed-door
political meeting—neither have I con
doned others for doing it, if they wish.
Neither am 1 sure but our Democratic
friends have held more private meetings
than the one in the court house, and
possibly by candle or lantern light.
They possible may also have proscrib
ed some body for his religion, other
than Catholics; they know best. lam
not disposed to complain. They have
the right to cast their suffrage where
they please, and more particularly to
nominate who, and in what manner they
may choose. With due respect, and
lasting regard for all parties interested,
I subscribe myself, with a clear con
science and right purpose of mind, their
sincere und devoted friend and well-
wisher, ELI A. SMITH.

From the CUrouicle <t Sentinel.
A writer who signs his name “ Pey
tonin the Constitutionalist & Repu
blic of the 1st of August, says:—
“ There is a law upon our statute-book,
requiring the State Road to have a Com
tnissioner, and if we mistake not, under
every administration of our State, this
Commissioner has been appointed. The
increasing business on the Road and its
litigation, sensibly impressed Gov. John
son with the necessity of having this
Commissioner a legal man, hence Col.
R. J. Cowart was appointed.” (Do you
mean Commissioner ?)
The Rev. R. J. Cowart told me, he
was appointed Attorney for the Road
with a salary of $2,000 a year. lie has
been known from one end of the Road
to the other as Attorney for the Road
and not as Commissioner. He was re
cognized in the Courts as Attorney for
the Road, and as such controlled cases
against the Road. He never was called
recognized, or known as Commissioner
until it was found necessary to cover
Johnson’s usurpations, to cake up an
obsolete law which was entirely super-
ceded by the act of 1852,reorganizing the
Road. Acts 1S52, page 110. This act
repeals all laws and parts of laws militat
ing against it. The compiler in a note,
page 114, says: *• This act abolishes
the office of Chief Engineer and repeal
all the provisions of former acts, giving
the Governor discretionary power in ap
pointing agents,” dec.
The Governor and his friends, I have
a right to presume, give up that they

As to Judge Briscoe's position, con
aistent John again contradicts himself,
by saying, he (Judge Briscoe) is the
Know Nothing candidate, nominated by
|jjln Know Nothing meeting, in which he
$ ’(the Judge) participated himself-—
T Having just before charged that he is

for Judge Andrews for Governor, and

at ail. At any rate, his friends are
ignorant of it. That he is a temperate
man inf the use of liquors, no roan dis
putes—hence the Overby part of that
charge is utterly unfounded.
• He (John) says “ the meeting was
interrupted by the intrusion of one or
two old line Whig-, (now Know Noth-
