It is well known in Americas why ( _ author ot too above entortains malice towards tny*elf. His personal feeling* toward me, or his disposition to shoot me with pst>er bullets, is of no consequence to ths pubue. I will, however, notion his charge that I am an unreliable correspond ent.

These are the only counties regarded in thia immediate Motion, eigh teen votes against Stephens to six for Ste phens. The result shows that Lee was oubt, and in your U»ue yesterday I gi some reasons why Huratcr voted Stephc— Other reasons could have been givou, suah M the recer tion by prominent cTtiten* who supported (olquitt two ye its ago, numer ous letter* from both Gov.

July C.—The Constitution of to-day says: "We have given no oounty to the majority rule column where the instructions were not specific and formal.” And yet l'ike was pnt in tho majority role oolumn in the Constitution of yesteiday, although l'ike took no action on ths two-thirds rule and gave to her delegates neither formal nor informal instructions. The Constitution was in the possession of the information that I'ike's delegates were not instructed: for in the ieiue of the same date appeared a communicf lion from like, in which these words were nsrd: "The delegation is not instructed aa to anything.” Now, why should the Conslttofton so misrepre sent ? If it is so in error as to l'ike, what credit can be given to its tabular state ment of the vote o( the Elate ? l'ike will cast four votes in the conven tion and uot two as you have it recorded, 1'lKK. Fort Valley, July I notice in to-day's issue of the Tklkouaf0, in a communication dated Fort Valley, it is represented that a pri mary election has been held in Taylor. Crawford and Houston counties, and that Mr. Smith was nominated. This is not the fact. Houston has not held any elec tion for the nomination of a Senator from tholwenty-third district, and I understand that Toy lor oounty has not done so. It is generally understood that Houston is en titled to the Senator the next time and that she claims the right. As I am yonr corres pondent here I get credit for nil that CoL Jsmts F.
