Riots
The select committee on the Memphis riots
made their report on the Doth ult, Mr. Spaul-
ding alone dissenting. 1t said the outbreak
resulted from collision between some 30.
licemen and discharged colored soldiers,
which was seized upon on pretext for an or
ganized and bloody massacre Of the negroes
of Memphis, regardless of age, sex or condi-
ton, inspired by the teachings Of the press,
and led on by the sworn officers OF the law,
comprising the city government and others
The committee declare there is little or no
loyalty in Memphis, or in that section. SO far
as they can learn, and that there will be DO
safety for loyal men if the troops are with
drawn The committee believe it to be the
duty Of the Government to arrest, try and
punish the offenders by military authority,
and also, by the same authority, levy tax
upon the citizens Of Memphis, sufficient to
cover the losses of ali the property destroyed.

THE VACANT CHAIR.

by P. W.
I've been lonely since parted
With my own W!uy dear.
And Oh I'm brokeE-hearted,
For my Willy IS not here.
/ think Of him even,
And look this lock Of hair.
Which unto me given,
When he sat that chair.
How precious is each relic
Now TO me so doubIy dear
That album ana this bracelet.
And this lock of raven hair.
This portrait Of my Willy,
Yes an Of them are dear:
Bat OH. my heart grows chilly,
When 1 see that vaeaat chair.
On the dreadful fsld OF shiloh.
Was my dear Willy slain,
And 1 no more shall behold him.
Though my tears may fan like rain.
1 miss him at the Preside.
at the haly hour Of prayer.
For there is one kneeiing
Beside that vacant chair.
They say a wreath Of glory
Doth now his brow adorn
I care not for such story,
Still my aching heart doth
scorn their talk Of glory,
It's all but empty air,
For flames iiIusive ~.
CANxoT FILL THAT vAcANr CHAIR.
But I'll meet him up in Heaven,
All clothed in yes5men5s white;
For while nay heart is rtvsn.
lie doth dwell in Mansions bright
And I'll Try to be submissive
To Gods viii till meet there.
Where there is no more sorrow,
Where there is vacant chair.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Trial of Conover.

WASHINGTON, December l9.- In the
case Of Conover, upon arguments of the
demurrer to indictment, this morning,
Sanford Conover, alias Charles A. Dun
ham, indicted for perjury in connection
with the conspiracy trials, was brought
into court before Judge Fisher The ae-
cused is quite fine looking man, appa-
rently twenty-five or twenty eight years
old, nearly, if not quite, six feet high,
oval face, black eyes and dark hair. Mr..
Gooding, for the prisoner, after brief
history Of the case, proceeded to argue
the demurrer to the indictment filed yes
terday, taking the following grounds
First-The issue on which the evidence
of defendant was given was an inmate
rial issue. The so called dispositions
were not depositions-were not affidayits
even The Judge Advocate General,
Holt, having no authority to administer
an oath, if false it would not have sup
ported the charge Of perjury, and there
fore anything said as to their truth or
falsity would not support the charge.
The said depositions we're never sworn
TO and could not be evidence.
The defendant was sworn to testify as
to the truth or falsity Of said deposit
tons, and as TO the truth or falsity Of
Hare statement, which was altogether
about said dispositions. all of which was
immaterial to the inquiry authorized to
be made. i
Second-Admitting said dispositions
were proper and legitimate, the evidence
to the court does not expressly state that
they were admitted as evidence on in
quiry, pending which omission cannot be
supplied by indictment.
Third-The first and second arguments
of perjury are repugnant, the first al
leging that defendant denies it in the
main.
Fourth-As to the second assignment,
defendant says, in substance, that part
Of Hare's statement is true aud part not
true The indictment should set out the
part about which the false statement is
made, for certainly the first and second
questions are too general to support the
charge of perjury.
Pifth-That defendant has reason to
doubt, or does doubt, is immaterisl as
an abstract question. The fact that the
answer forestalls further inquiry into
the facts, does not make it perjury. His
doubts and reasons 10 doubt in matters
of personal opinion, not even profession
al opinion, which alone is admissible as
evidence, and il which perjury can sell
dom, IL ever. be sustained

What the War has Proved.

We have read with great interest five
specifications in the Mobile AdrertiSeT
of what the war has proved, but il has
proved great deal more. The principal
fact proved is that the North was too
many for us, and that our natural de-
fenses against the odds were destroyed
or lost by our railroads. The war
proved a very great mutual ignorance
upon the part of both sections Of each
other and Of themselves. II proved that
both had the wor st and weakest set OF
politicians ever known. 1t proved that
the South was never safe a momen
under the Federal Union, and was IN
worse danger out of it 1t proved
that we had no chance anyhow. 1t
proved that we never shall have q
chance for security or repose, until
the North divides or fnds more profit
able game. 1t proved that the love Of
domination and tyranny is one Of
the strongest passions in the human
breast, and that no barriers Of
the Constitution or OF the morals
can restrain it. It proved that the
South has great deal Of property which
she has lost, and which our Northern
brethren were fond Of II proved that
We have in future got TO take what
luck the Radicals send us, aud grumi
bling won't help matters, Il proved
that hereafter the North will have her
Own way in all things, till she gets tired
Of it, and we suspect If she runs the ship
into mud, as she is bound to do, in some
way or other, she will hold the South re.
sponsible FOR the catastrophe.-AacoH

HENRY WARD BEEcHER IN 1874.

The following resolution of HENRY
WARD BEEcHER was offered in New York,
on the I'd day of May, ls44:
Resolced, That it is the duty Of every
Abolitionist, South and North, to agitate
aud reagitate until they affect an over
throw Of the Federal Constitution, and
effect the dissolving Of the American
Union.-ErchaRge.
Commenting upon this, the Cincinnati
Enquirer says; There we're never men
who more faithfully and religiously ex-
erted themselves to respond to a senti-
ment than did the class to whom it was
addressed. In season AID out Of season,
in the press, in the pulpit aud in the TO-
rum, they have labored with an energy
that was satanic to effect its objects, and
at last, after seventeen years of vehement
struggle, substantially accomplished their
purpose. Then they-the planners aud
schemers for seeession-took new role
before the political world, and appear as
the champions Of Unios, the defenders
ofthe Constitution To-day they are the
leaders of what facetiously calls itself
the Union party and there arc nun

believe in their sincerity and long ser

PLANS OF THE FENIANS.

NEg YoRg, Dec. 2.-The Mercury
says a very important meeting Of leaders
Of the Fenian movement was held in this
city, a, which a certain contemplated
rising of the Fenians in Ireland was dis
cussed at considerable length.
The mostimportant feature in the plan
Of assistance from this side Of the water
is the contemplated seizure Of certain
European steamers aud TO convert them
into privateers.
Ii was suggested to get command Of the
Queen City, Baltimore and Scotia, be-
longing, respectively, TO the National,
Imam and Cunard lines
This is to be accomplished by intro
ducing the right kind Of men among
crews, sufficient inducements being
offered to crews which come over to leave
the vessel in order that their places may
be supplied By picked men from Fenian
organizations.
In connection with this part Of the plan
al who sTailed passages on board the
steamers are 20 be taken for members Of
the order, and the available room al
loved for freigh. 70 be Rsed for arms

and ammunition to be introduced as the
personal baggage ofpassengers.
In order to prevent, as far as possible,
the effusion of blood, it is proposed to
seize vessels at night, when the opposi-
ton Of commanders would be likely to
be less effective.
When once under the control OF the
Fenians the vessel can be easily trans
ferred ino privateers, and would be ex'
ceedingly formidable, being swlit, pro
portioned, and well supplied with arms.
In case it be found impossibleto make
reprisals the vessels are to steam into
mort under English colors and disembark
passengers with directions to join the
different circles now in progress in Eng.
land and Ireland.
This is a brief outline of this daring
movement. As to its ultimate consum'
nation time can tell. +-A

MEETING LAST NIGHT.

The meeting at Odd Fellows Hall last
night was very large and very respect
able. The best men Of the city were
present, and embodied their grievance in
terms at once firm and moderate They
protest against the exorbitant rates OF
rent now demanded by landlords, and
resolve to resist them. In calling atten'
ton to this subject we have accom-
plished all we sought, and now dismiss
the matter, knowing that it is in the
hands of those who will not be likely to
abandon it until justice shall have been
obtained.
