T itt: Ikok Pkohibtorv Tarikk.—Dr. Lewis,
Ike Superintendent of the Stale. Road, has written
f- letter to the Journal & Messenger, in which he
1 brows rdl tho responsibility of the unjust discrimi
nation in favor of his iron Interests, upon the Gov
ernor. He alone, it seems, made 1 his very comfort
able provision for his particular friend, Dr. Lswis
Laving declined, from the Get that ire w-.s engaged
in the iron business Limself.
I bis only makes matters more conclusive gqainet
the Governor. Dr. Lewie is a sort of god-father to
h’.B Excellency, and, of course, entitled to bis special
consideration, hence the shameless abn;a of the
authority granted by the Legislature. When that
body passed a resolution for reasonable encourage
ment to the iron interests of the State, who but the
Governor, constiued it into authority to destroy
rs-e business of citizens of Georgia (Messrs. Coth
,sn& Elliot say “it tiopped the sale 0/ cur iron”),
and to deprive the road of the larger proportion of
is lucrative business in that article 1 Did any mem
ber of the Legislature -iappore that iiev&s enacting
a prohibitory tariff when ha voted for the resolu
tion? We apprehend net. ...
We also perceive that Dr. I#ew!d and sue Gov
i-.Yi .vt have relented, and promised to reduce the
freights on the Rome iron. We are uot surprised
at their reconsideration alter such an exposure.—

In the lii-t “doutheru Recorder,” (August 30th)
ia a i mg article signed “Hall,” in which the writer
maks h lost desperate effort to bolster up the
Governor on this subject. By a syatem of inferen
ces, and oi deceptive calculations, baaed on “pro
rota” premises, this writer ptccetde to prove that
Gov. Brown’s mauagcaieat is superior to Gov.
Johnson’s. The great inju.-lice done Gov. John on
in the calculation-: and it-i ‘recces, wo have nothing
to do with. It Gov. Johnson's friends can quietly
submit to them, we of course, have no complaint to
make. We shall simply content ourselve s by ma
king some calculations and inferences ba of on
“pro rata” premises, to ehow to what ridiculous
results it will lead By whom it was prepared we
can only 00: ieeturo Why it was given to the

< it y the “Recorder’' published it, we treat some !
loss to daterraine. It teems to us the “Recorder'

[rejected it. As it stands, it is calculated to mi 3
lead.

Tin • “pro rata" procss> of argumentation leads to
r.v.nw very curious, if not astounding conclUßious.
A I)# mockat Mad ano ut Gov. Browk’s “Bio
B< a hu.”— Hon. A. R. Wright, of the sth Dislrict,
in announcing his purpose not to bo an independent
candidate for C-mgrei-u, took occasion t»decutre
that hia own iuouoalionM prompted him to be ac-an
tli late, aud that k wu iu doubt as to what course
t-> pur. ua until ho received “reliable information
that G»v Brown thought hv- election would he
embarniseed” should he run, and “earnestly de
eired” that he would not boa candidate. Thii set
tled the question, and Wright declined.
The Democratic Platform, of Calhoun, Georgia
—a paper that has Gov. Brown’s name at its
“mas head” as the Democratic nominee—is much
chagrined at Governor Browu’a inteifereacein this
family quarrel. If does not seem to understand
how the man who bod-te of the “thirty thousand
majority” which he commands at his beck aud
call, can be afraid oi the effect upon 6is prospects
of a Democratic free fight in the sth Congressional
District, aud it intimates preity plainly that this sutl
den fear that, has possessed the Governor is not go
ing to help him in that region. We copy from the
Platform -.—Columbus Enquirer.
“There is something in this affair which the people
do not understand, and wish explained. This letter
-makes an indirect charge upon Gov. Brown, of
interfering in the Congressional election in this
District; and v* bother true or not. it is not denied,
the people will believe it true, and will necessarily
become eomewhat relaxed : u their efforts for him.
We must confess, with all our admiration of Gov.
Brown, aud the cordiality with which we have
support ed his administration, and do yet, that this
is a* matter beneath hia dignity. Wa wish to be
understood distinctly. We are yet for Brown’s
administration, but whenever we believe any man
in position, whether high or low, friend or toe. is
wrong, sell respect compels U 3 to speak of it. Our
admiration never compels ua to let error pass un
combatted. And we speak knowingly when we
say tha‘ maay good and influential Democrats lake
the same view of this matter that wa do,’’
A Novei. Ai>vs.rtiskm*>t.—Tse most remarka
ble among tho many remarkable advertisements
which daily fall under our notice, in hundreds of
exchange*) from every section of the country, is the
one below: , . .
“A pew is for sale m toe meeting house of the

Tlic Proof!
A few days ago e, e said Mr. Akin was paid a
thousana dollars by the State to attend n case
, against the Hoad, and agreed vvh-a tie was paid, to
attend to it to the end of the litigation, and that be
, left it. when it was decided against Ihe State in G >B3
Superior Court, and that another lawyer had io b
, employed to carry it up to the Supremo Court. In
f the latter Court tho case was reversed and is now
i pending, but Mr. Akin who kept the tee, did not
keep /us word. Now look at the proof. Lit tho
reader turn to an article in this paper, which we
, have copied from the Atlanta Intelligencer, and see
for himself the agreement between Akin and G.-v.
Brown in the Kinney case vs. the Stats Road. lie
will there uee Mr Akin's pledged word to conduct
the case for the State, through to the end of the liti
gation—not through Gass Superior Court but through
to the. end of the. litigation. Now reader, hadn’t
Warren Akin better go home and fulfill his promise,
before lie atks tae people of Georgia to make kin-.
Governor? What says the Chronu-lo «5c Sentinel
now, ot the “miscreants ?” Who is the “miscreant”
now ?— Fed. I r nion.
The above, which we clip from the Federal Union
I contains a pioss uiLrepresentation of Mr. Akin.— ;
The Federal Union knew that Mr, Akin tea* not
paid one thousand dollars for his services in the
C ise alluded to, the case ol Kinney vs. the State
Hoad. T be Federal Union knew that Mr. Akin
had made no charge in the Kinney cruse, in the biil
which he presented to Gov. Brown, anti which
Brown refused to pay. Gov. Brown \ roposed to
pay Mr. Akin’s biil, if the latter would deduct SSOO,
which Mr. Akin refused, but agreed, upon ihe pay
ment of the bill, to attend to the Kinney case, with
out further charge, which stow s conclusively that
the Kinney fee would not have been SI,OOO. Ia
fact, Col. Akin was not paid any fee, in that case,
bat simply agreed—to avoid a law suit—do at
tend to the case, without charge, upon the pay
ment of his bill for other services. Further, Col.
Akin did not agree to attend to the case to the end
of the litigation, and the Federal Union and Gov
Brown know it. lie only agreed, and bound
himself, to attend to it to its end—meaning its cud
in Cacs Court. The agreement was in writing, it
teas legally lauding, and was so intended to be by
Gov. Brown. Now, if Mr. A kin failed to oonipiy
with ilia legally binding written agreement, the
Governor of the State has failed to discharge his
duly, in not compelling the fulfilment of ihe agree
ment. Instead of that, however, he authorized the
ifcoad Attorney to employ and pay for legal ser
vices to carry tho case up to the Supreme Court,
and never once demanded of Mr. Akin the fulfil
ment of what the Governor ai: d his minions now
Bay was a lepal obligation. SL&me, shame, upon
such despicable trumpery. “Who, now, is the
miscreant l" We answer Joseph E. Brown, as
the instigator of the false charge, and the futelli
gencer and Union as aiders and abettors in U*e
cliffy wprk.

I the opposition of a portion of the Americans of the i
District, beaded by a gentle man of ability, with *
whom I was on terms of song standing pars- sial
friendship. The result will be m :de public, and I
trust may prove agr,>eab!e' to &;! who deehe my
aui’oosa. I regarded it, as due to candor to concede
the existence of a state of thing i adverse to a pros
perous issue of the canvass. I have never known
a matt complained of for underrating Lis own popu

convinced of my mistake. The error is not a com
mon one, and wiil be pardoned by out’s friends. I
have every reason to b live that tho accommoda

Oar Federal Government, though so much com

thr public treasure, aad its partial legislation, is
