To the Editor Of the Enquirer: -4r
Dear Sir--In the editorial columns of
your paper Of yesterday, you say, "We
understand the Radical State Committee in
this city boast they have a list of some of
the most prominent subscribers to the
Enquirer, and that if they have such list
it was either stolen from our office or OBJ
tanned through the postofice." You
also say that they are using the list to
circulate documents against Mr.. Greeley.
AS the Secretary of the " Republican
State Committee" it gives me pleasure to
state that you have been grossly deceived,
and that we not only have never boaSted
of having a list Of your subscribers but
that we have never had and never saw your
list.
There are sources from which we can
obtain the name of every voter in the State
without your list, and as we Go not wish to
enlighten only the Enq,ayer's subscribers,
or render you uneasy about them, but pre-
fer to be more general, you will pardon me
for not attaching the same Importance to
the subscribers of the Enquirer as you do.
Your article having misrepresented our
committee (unintentionaly of course) you
will oblige me by publishing this denial Of
your statement.
Very respectfully,

The Act Reducing the Number of
.ImdCes and ChamcellOrN.

EDIToRs CLARION 1T has been asserted
in every conceivable manner and with most
solemn protestations Of truth that his Acct
deBcy. Gov. Powers. intended to approve
the act of tile last Legislature reducing the
number of Judges and Chancellors in the
State Indeed the Pilot has been wont To
wax quite wroth at the insinuation that
such was not the case. The Governor $50
called) has himself repeatedly stated 70
various parties that he would 90 so. Many
honest men groaning under taxation and
anxious to hail even ray of light actually
believed that it would be done.
For my own part l never believed IT, /
could not realize that carpet-bag official
would ever voluntarily do any act the effect
of which would be to rid the State of q half
score of leeches for the most part as useless
and as incompetent as himself. Time has
demonstrated the truth of my fears aud the
falsity of Radical promises
| have il from several sources and on un-
doubte authority that tue bill will not be
signed and that the Governor has so stated.
In this connection i hear also that it was in
contemp lation to have in the city of jack
son a meeting of all the Judges and Chan
cellors in the State for the purpose of in
ducing the Governor by prayers, tears or
threats to withhold his signature from the
bill. l learn that day tor this meeting
was actually appointed and that the assem-
blage was only prevented by assurances
from the Governor that he did not intend
to sign the act. What a pitiable sight it
would have been!
For the sake of my DrofesSion and for the
sake OF their own past history and charae-
ter, | must think that there are two or
three Judges and Chancellors i'll the State
who would not have taken part in such a
meeting. LAWYER.

1t will not now be questioned that Con-
tingent Governor Powers is entitled to
the belt as a champion witness. For ex-
ample, on the one side he testified to the
Legislature that peace prevailed through
out the State, and that the civil author
tiles were able to enforce the laws; on
the other side, he testified to the War
Department through Emory, that law
lessness prevailed in the State, and that
the civil authorities unaided by federal
troops were unable to enforce the laws.

In the absence of constituted author
ity of the party opposed to Radicalism,
the members of the Legislature represent
ing antiRadical constituencies appointed
Temporary Committee to initiate the
proceeding essential to its reorganization
for the pending Presidential campaign
This duty the Committee have performed
by appointing time and place for the
assembling of a State Convention Con
STRUNG this action to be the limit of their
authority, the Committee have RENTED
to the Convention itself the nature of the
business to be transacted. These are
matters which will doubtless be discussed
by the Press and the people in advance
of the assembling of the Convention.
l. 1t seems to be settled in the public
mind that the State shall be represented
in the Baltimore Convention.
2. To this body the Convention will,
therefore appoint delegates of ability,
and of fidelity to the principles and policy
of the party.
3. The Baltimore Convention should
be strictly representative body. The
will of the constituency should be declared
in the State Convention; and the dele
gates should be instructed to cast the
vote of the State as a unit in conformity
thereto.
2. In the National Convention, each
State is entitled to four delegates at large
and double as many delegates us it has
Representatives in the popular branch of
Congress. This State will therefore be
entitled to sixteen Heretofore it has
been customary for the delegates at large
to be selected by the whole body of the
Convention, and for the others to be
nominated by the several districts subject
to the ratification of the Convention.
5. 1t will be for the Convention to
determine whether it will appoint Presi-
Dental Electors at this time, or await
the action of the National Convention.
Heretofore the same rule has been OBJ
served in the selection of Electors that
has obtained in the appointment Of dele
gates, viz: by the several Districts (for
the District electors) in order that the
wishes of the people in the various local
tiles of the State may be consulted.
As the present Committee will have
performed the sole purpose fits appoint
ment, when it shall have called the party
together in Convention, and inflated the
organization of that body, it will devolvt
on that body to select State Executive
Committee to serve for such time as i
may designate or until its authority j.
revoked.
The foregoing comprise the principle
matters which will necessarily require the
attention of the Convention. We trus
that the people of the several counties
who are in sympathy with the movement
will display the interest which as patriot
they ought to feel in the matter, b.
selecting delegates who will attend tn
Convention and represent them faithfully
The time within which delegates are t.
be chosen is too short to admit of delay
