In the Daily Kn quirer, of the 2fid iuat., appears an editorial base*! upon a r*vii*g telegraphUt dispatch and unknown Washington correspondence to that vilest of abo lit ion sheets, the New York Tribune, doing, In oar opinion, greet injuetice to our distinguished Georgian, Mr. Stephen*. It is asserted that Mr. Stapban* has written a letter against tbo adoption of the majority report at NaUimore, and that an “important case” prevented his attendance in person at the Convention to lead the Kouthern “Doagla* forces.” Will the Enquirer give us the proof of those statements? Will it publish such “assertion?'’ without “examining to see whether t hey are correct ?” Uan unknown Washington letter writer to an abolition paper better autho rity than the leading democratic organ of Vlr ginia, edited by the distinguished Wise ? Is an Idle telegraphic dispatch, of which no one claims thettuthnrship.conmining remarkable statements, proof sufficient for so fair and honest a journal as tho Enquirer ? Would it. upon tbo authority of a Northern abolition paper, state that Mr. Stephen* was “unfortunately prevented by un toward rireum-tiinces, front attending at Charles ton and at lialriinore to uphold th® statu*ard of their chieftain” (Mr. Douglas?) \pt, such Is the offence of the Enquirer. It reads ns a lesson about John Dell, but so far forgets its own cod® of morality for a public journal as to be “deathly steeped” in the very crime, which it ohwrges upon ns. Will it adnpt.tbe language of Its own coni plaint * applicable to itself more than the ( Tiroes ? italtimoir fouvrallea The telegraphic news of the pro'*eeding of thi? * body published in our yesterday's pnjKjr gate bnf little encouragement to hope for its harmonious action. Th® report of the Committee *n tre .lontisb favoring the admission of the Douglas delegations from (ieorgta. Alabama and Louisi- ana, to tho exclusion of the real representatives of the Democracy in these States, fa a startling indication thnt to “rule or ruin,” has become the Mettled policy of the Douglas faction, lu regard to the Uenrgia regular delegation (more portico Jarly, hiwiiuso we are better acquainted with it claims,) we ennnot comprehend upon what shadow j of a pretext It* exclusion has been recommended. The < harfestou Convention just previous to ad journment, ptisited u resolution requesting the De mocracy, iu the several Slates who.se ih-fegutlotiH had Aoceilod from that Ixudy, to take the proper measures to fill their vacancies aud te represented ul Baltimore. For this purpose, another Conven or the party was called in this Statu. The con duel of their delegates was freely canvussed be fore the people, the Convention endorsed it by an urn whelm ing majority, and re-appointed them i to the National Convention in Baltimore. If there was a raortecy, us declared by tbe Chariteton Con vention, it was thus adequately and fully sup plied The new (ieorgia Convention won the insignia of party sovereignty and had the undfa puled right to commission whom they pleased. No credentials can te superior to those which her delegation tears—they are not wanting a solitary link in the chain of regularity. This faet him not hitherto beeu disputed. Tho ad dress ol ex tioveruor Johnson and others, pub Ifahcd after the adjournment at Milledgev lle, scouted the idea that the party fragment which be represented claimed a representation at Haiti more until tbe regular delegation, in obedience to the mandate of tbe Convention, should find R neoeMiary.again to aeoede. . Tbos the credentials of the tteorgla regulars have tbo double endorse moot of the Bute Convention and of thoso who were dfasetbtled with tbo action .ofthat body and se ceded therefrom. Yet this Douglas committee has seen fit to ignore the claims of tho (loorgia delegation thus #nb*Untfated, uml to substitute and establfah a claim which was nevor adi anccd nnd which has not the shadow of foundation,— Wo trust that tbo Baltimore Convention will have the justice to rebuke ibis outrage upon the rights of the (leorgia Democracy. If this faith should ho disappointed . if the adherents of Judge Doug las should be eo blind to reason as to deny us participation in tbo doings of tbeCutiventiun, tho bond of mnlty and association will te severed mid tho Democracy of (leorgia will have hut little con cern for what may te done at Baltimore.

It fa certain thnt tbe |•arson upon whom their prefer ence shall rest will fill that office for the ensuing year, nnd there fa, therefore, a heavy responsibil ity attached to their conduct. It becomes them to consider well tho claims of those who are can didates for their suffrages, for the city, whose agents they lire, has a large interest in this en terprise, and that interest may be materially nnd permanently effected by the vote they shall give. We confess that, amid the various rumors and surmises we have heard, we liaveuever entertain ed misgivings as to tho result. We huvo believed and we .stall trust, that the men whom the city has cborged with tbe guardianship f Hr inter oats, will, when the time for action comes, firm )y refuse to fend iliemsclvea to tho sehemes which passion or prejudice urny have contrived, and will move steadily onward to the goal where res son aud duty beokou them.

A debt of $135,000 rested upon it aud the stock was absolutely worthless.— Mnj<*r Howard was strongly, imploringly urged to take charge of it iu this condition. The friends nnd stockholders of the road represented to him that unless he enure to their assistance, and that speedily, the road must inevitably go under the Khoiift’s hammer. He yielded to tlieir solielta tion*. Uo went to work, aud everybody knows that be has not been stilt a moment since. Ho logged enough money to pay off the existing debt. With only HH,NO la bonds >f tho city, lie ha* extended tho road thirty four mil*s beyond Its then terminus, and still beyond this, has now ncur !y twenty mile* of grading completed, lie has done this under obstacles which wuaild have ap palled and disheartened any other man. nnd through almost tho worst country in the world. He did it hy means of (lie most indomitable and unwearied perseverance - -by moirey, absolutely wrung from reluctant subscribers add given /e ----ly on the faith of his Individual energy. Now the question is not whether Major Howard could not have done better, but whether any eire else could bavo done on tosU ; aye, cau there be found u umn in the city of Columbus, who could have done it nt all ? If there can, let him te produced, and if bis antecedents furnish tb slightest foundation for the pretension, wn will agree that he be now elected. So much for what has been done. But more remains to be accomplished. The interests of this cty imperatively require that this road te ex tended HU it connects with (he Montgomery and Pensacola road. Until that end is achieved, the office Major Howard now holds will te no sine- j cut* affair. Its duties cannot te discharged with | hands In kid gloves or holding silk umbrellas.

Coflaggfog energy, dis placed in active, energetic labor is required.~ Mcn have tube seen, talked to, reasoned with.— JfobAcriptbros have to tie made, money raised in short, what he? been done must l*e done again- Who shall be selected to perforin the task ?

A our eon slit uon t a will wait to icp whetbci you will place this trust in the bunds of oflo whom their gratitude and their interest alike point out: in whose vocabulary there is no such word ** fail ; who ha? redeemed this great inter est from bankruptcy and death, and -cut it torn tiding oa a career of ti*ufulnenft and rigor; who, in bis zeal for its promotion, has .'pared not his individual credit, but who, time and time again, for thousands upon thousands of dollars, as every bank officer in the city will attest, has protected its credit with bis own name, or wheth er yon will confide it to one in whom none, or but few, of these elements of success and power meet, and who, notwithstanding his good inteutionr, may Wring ruin upon the rood and disgrace upon himself ami you.

Editors ; As ahfoekholdcr in the short road, 1 naturally feel nn interest in its proper management, and, therefore, view with regret the exertions which are being made to discredit the competency of its present able chief, and those who, with him, have control of it* affairs. The charges of inefficiency which hare been and are being so iodustrioualy circulated against Ihe present management, ore all bo*h You, Messrs. Editors, hit the nail on the head when you spoke oftbeir “periodicity,” and thence inferred that t hey wera manufactured from personal and selfish motives. That is the whole truth. The time for the elect ion of officers is again at band, and the enemies of Major Howard ore turning every atone in their power to displace hnu. You recollect that, abottt this timo lost year, nearly equal zeal was manifested in pursuit of the same object.— Tho sarno arguments, too, were used then as now. It was fiorfuUnt/y assorted by some of our wise acres, that if Maj. Howard was if-dected, the business of the road and the commerce of the city would decline: that thousands of bags of cotton, fas if cotton hud tbo sentiment of malico or re t enge) would refuse shelter in Columbus and find itu wav in Montgomery. Well, tho City Council ami an overwhelmiag majority of tho re maining stockholder* weire foolish enough to dis credit these gloomy predictions. They r® • leeted Major Howard.

Wo copy the following from tho laM number of tho Spring* (itnetH, which exposes the falsity ot the boost ic eortiu .(uarter/ that Mn jor Howard hu. no friend# at tho other end oftho road : As the time is fM approaching forth© selection of a President of the Mobile A tiirard linad for tho ensuing term, and several names having becu mentioned in euuuection with the office, wo leel it duo our rcadors and tho public at large, to place before them important facts bearing upon the sub joct. That all parties may have equal justice through <nrcolumns, wo publish, this week, the respective cards of Maj. Howard and Col. Winter. We have no dwiro or iuelitMtioii to meddle in this affair, but when facts aro placed Iroforc us, we feel it duo to ourselves, as public journalists, and tu public justice, to give an unreserved ex prosrtion of opinion upon all question? affecting public iutercLst. Whatever personal prejudice may exist aguuust Maj. Howard the most rehtc taut are forced bi the enfossion of bis cftciency as an uftioer, and President oftho Hoad. Wo have heard it intimated that “Howard ha# no friondsupon the line.” This is simply untrue for we ure satisfied inun reliable and uuthoritn liro information that hebu*mattywa da admirers, who will give him thoir support cordially and most cheerfully. Wo know Major Howard. Wo know him to be a practical, hurdsen#o*l, clear headed tuan; who would do nothing that he thought not host and advantageous to the best interest of the road. A hue and cry Ims been raised nguiust him by some of onr Troy friends on account of his opposition to the pro posed deflect too. Now. for the life its, \*e arc unable tore© where Iho Major, with the lights before him, has erred in this matter. Mr. Long, the able and efficient engiuocr who surveyed the road troui the present main trunk to Troy, reports that the difference in Iho survey is five hundred yards, ugaiust tho Troy route, and the cost twelve thousand dollar# nr more, and the expense of keeping it tip much greater. Mr. Long was employed by the ponpi# of Troy to wake tho survey, and hi# experience and kuown ability as a surveyor, should commend hi* report to the favorable retleetion and consid eration of all tho stockholders of the road. It is known fact that when Maj. Howard as sumed the Presidency of the Road, its indebted ness amounted to one hundred And twenty-fn e thousand dollars, without asset*. The road is now in good running order, and nearly able to liqui date it# indebtonue##, with the exception of the bonds out for the construction of the bridge aero# the Chattahoochee, which said bonds are not duo in ten year#. We .seo t hat our neighbor of tho Home Journal, in his lost issue, call* fr the man upon whom all can unite. Wo know not what mo/i-n may in fluence i. ur neighbor, bat we think, if be but knew it, wo have tiik man now.
