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.

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.
