That correspondence has been published in every county in this dis trict. Commenting on it, n newtpspor in tba district, on the Aral of Juno last, said of Colo nel Mynatt: “He was a member of tbe constitutions! cenventkn of 1877 and ably und persistently advocated tbe railroad commiatiou, which was pertinaciously opposed by Hon.

Colonel Mynatt voted with them, bnt ao did Dr. Itoach and Colonel Hulsey, and so far as we are informed they deserve u much credit in the mstter as Colonel Mynatt. Up to tbit point no mention bu hecu made of any ccmmlasiou bill in tbe house. On tbo lllh of November, 1878, Mr. Fort introduced tbe only bill for a railroad cnmmlsdon which wuput before tho house and It was never [ rested even to a ■croud reading. Nobody n tbe houso ever alluded to it, so far as we remember. The Fort-Bankin bill went to the aenete on the 13lh of September, 1879, and wu referred to tbe committee on railroads. Judge Lump- bin, tbe chairman, reported, on the 1st of Oc- later, 1879, tbe railroad commission bill u e substitute for tbe house bill, end It pused by a vote of 37 yeas to 7 nays. When It went to the house Mr. Itankin, not Colonel Mynatt, moved to emend by e provision u to "long end short haul," end that wu rejected. The bill wu between tbe two bouses until the Uth cf October, 1OT. The house Anally concurred with the aenate's amendment upon the motion of Mr. Bankin, by yeu 102 to nan 37. Ful ton's memtera all voted "yea:" they yieldod lo the more popular method of a commission whau their news were rejected. And It A re markable ihet no e ffort hu since been nude to go beck to tke method advocated by Colonel Mynatt. On the contrary, tbe unanimous wish of the friends of snch legislation is to keep tbe commission u now organised. Were these Acte known to the exeellont gentlemen when, at this late day, they pro pose to pay that old “debt" of 18777 Wero they all known to tbe writer or that editorial which gus-e Colonel Mynatt credit for "formn- latlng” that bill end advocating its passage? Purely not The petition made no charge •gainst Mr. Hammond u to bA conduct in tbit convention. Ho, with inch men uGovernor Jenkins, oppoaod the Toomke report and favor ed tbo Rseae substitute. Wu that luimical to Atlanta's Interest? Her people thought net so, fer they immediately elected him, with UrloneA Mynatt and Uulroy, to the legislature of 1878 9, end before ho could take hit seat there the same people sent delegates to a con vention of tbo old flfth district, where he was nominated over Judge Stewart, Colonel Dun can. of Uouaten, and tbe Hen. M. A. Candler, of DeKtib. It will be remembered that that was before specie reeumption and the Issues of that campaign wero AaencAl end nut at to railroads In Georgia. Ur. Hammond bu been continuously renominated and re-elected to congress by increased majorities ever since, though sometimes opposed by very strong meu with very strong backing. Considering that the commission bill it to popular tbet both candidates for governor were trying to outdo each other in lb praise. It wun grave wrong to give to Colonel My natt the cttdlt of lb authorship, or of even aiding in flaming the bill. In tho light ef thou facts. It wu a gravec wrong to charge Mr. Hirumond, absent npon public duty u our representative at Wuhiagtou, with hiv ing. "pertinaciously opposed" tke com- mission MU. He wu in coagveu when it wu passed and hu never uttered * word •gaiaet that bill anywhere. The Atlanta chamber of commerce, always working tor the feed of enr;eity, understanding tke mine of radioed commissions, on the 12th day of May, 1889. passed resolutions Indorsing the Cullom iuter-kUUe commerce biU as "aboolntely wish Just and accessary legislation, doing equal jus tice to both transportation Him aad the pub lic," and asked Ur. Hammond's support of tbe Mil. Promptly, u soon u temporary illness would allow him, on the 17th day of May last, Mr. Hammond responded thet he would. HA reason therefore wu: "A railroad commission for the United States te supplement the opera tions of state commltaioatand help them to for mulate e plan hy whioh to control both intra state end inter.state commerce eeems to me to he the logleel remit of the beet thought on both of whom spoke against the bUI.

Editors Constitution: We bellevo that the friende of Colonel Mynatt will not vote for him for nomination for congrau unless they tellcvo he coaid probably succeed. They would not use him tunply to endanger Mr. Hemmond’e renominutfoo. It A proper for them, therefore, to ask what atrengib be will he likely to have outside of Fulton and De- Kalb. They have called public attention to the const!tnrional convention of 1877, of, whioh be wee e member. Inquiry will be nude ee to what be did end said there.

That letter was published iu the daily Cox* STITUTIOX of the 20lh of Kfsy. 13S& And yet tke fake charge of that editorial continues f ba repeated hy the pm and to private talk. This, we repeat, if a grave wrong. Twice hff Mr. Ilaamond favored tke Itagaa bill ia tke 46th aad 47th eeagrsasee. Ha did not vote, bat wee paired with Oeverwer Rebiawa, ef Massachusetts, and Mr. Bxaaa,ef ibaujlnaia, may find it on page 346 of tho proceedings of the convention or1877. The proposition under discussion was the senatorial apportionment, '•utho wss talking of the house. He said: Gem If men remind me that we are not discus* sing the subject of a representation in the houso but in tha senate. I cannot, nor can any other gentleman, discuss the one without discussing the other, for there is no method by which you can base representation in the tiDHte that will not apply to the house also." When later the matter was discussed as to tbo house of representatives, General Gartrell 1 tinted out the practical rcaultaofthe idea, and said, 'Therefore, if gen tlemen desire thet the smaller counties shall be protected, and there has been aatiugglo here this morning to securo them repress tat ions, I warn them now that they should reject this proposition. We should by all means vote it down: It seems to bo p!au«ib!c, bnt it is against the interests of thetmaller counties and I move that tho auk* •titute lio upon the table." Tho motion pre vailed, Mr. Hammond voting "yea" and Colo- ncl Mynatt voting "nay." See page 363 of taid proceedings. To test tho practical workings of that notion of Colonel Mynatt, examine how it would op erate in our congressional district. Now, Ful ton bnt there'rtf) rrsentati vet, DeKalb and Wal ton two each, and the other eight rountie* ono each, making a total of fifteen. By tho last census tho population of the counties,In round tboorands, was as follows: Csmpboll ten, Clayton eight, DeKalb fonrtccu and a half, Douglas seven, Fay*tto eight and a hair, Fnlton forty-nine, Henry fourteen, Newton thirteen and a half, Rockdale seven, 8palding twelve and a half, and Walton fifteen and a half thousands, or a total of one hundred and fifty-pine and a half thousands. Sowsweuld hsvo a representativo for each ten thoueand six bundled votes. Clsyton, Douglas, Fay ette sud Rockdale would each have lost its representative and be tlod on to another coun ty. DeKalb and Walton would each have lost one. So thoroughly is representation for each county fixed on our people that even whan grouped for senatorial districts each oounty claims its turn by rotation. How will the smaller counties like Colonel Mynatt's notion? _ Vote*. TDK GOXQIU&SIOXAL HACK. Colonel Mynatt Tried by the Record and Found Wanting.
