A CORRECTWX. The tlateuient l made tu Rime ol the 1 a| ci* oi the district that Harris wag the uii only candidate at llieWeat Point nom inating convcnth n two years ago. The fact is in the first lalk'l he only lacked at tut three votes ol receiving two-thlrils ol all the votes caa'. According to our rec •nlUctiou, he maintained tbit la all tbo bal lot* dt’iing the day, about 00 in all. We •weie prevented from attending the night t carton tut tearu that Cap'. Peiaona lead ou a uuml>er oi ballots, hit ina)oril y being nominal not real a* the whole convention ktew. There was an idea prevalent linn as now, that by iutioducing dillerent can-, •didatea, tbe friends of Harris niiclit l>e wearied Into a drier lion ol hi* cause and thus a "lied out U oitc” brought iu who would win the rsrt. Judges Buchanan and Crawford, both gor'd men, were then, nnd are to day, the candidates held in re serve. Uapt Persona then, we aero as sured received certain vote*, not that the delegates c tetri's them, loved Persont bat were optoted to Harris and employ'd three methods of weakening Harris and pavtrg the way tor the rucal of their “tied out’ - tavoiiter. This, we think, is the true rtaument cl the matter. Harris was nominated by a two-thirds vote Urea, tbs Muscogeedelegation, lead by l£ajat Motes, first coming t o him. A* aooa as Muscogee ceme to Harris there was a ruth ol the other counties to follow suit —CoMTiH otto we'it ritt neated.

[Tremendous and prolonged cheering, Mr. Freeman’* speech w* the speech ol the convention, clear, logical rod over whelming. Mr. Butt replied in a speech ol some length, discussing rather tho merits of Col. Hants '.ban the question before the body, ar.d at the close of his nJdmra called the previous question*, thus cutting off the ma Jority of the committee with only one speech. Mr. Rev ill moved to table the minority report. Before tho vole was taken Gov Smith wished an investigation Into lbs vt-. tidily ol the proxies claimed- *Tl.e chair ruled the proposition out of order at that time. Gov. 8m Ith saying that there were quite a number ol proxies reported pres ent and that lx wished no chesting, was responded Ur by Mr. lUvill that care would be takeu that u> cheating wss done by any one. The chair ruinonnced the question to be oo tabling the minority re port, but previous to calling the roll Mr. L. F. Garrard, ot Muscogee, asked shy the counties were called as they were, say ing that they were neither alphabetically nor geographic lly arranged. The aecrc tary had been u(ag the order aa employ ed by Mr. Her ill, aecrstary ol the execo tivu committee, which was in leaded to he geographical, aud waaaatoliowa : Marion, < that tahouchee, Talbot, Muauoaee, Harris, Troup, Meriwether, Coweta, Campbell, Heard and Douglas.
