THE CoNvENrroN--A SUGGESTION.

The indications are that the mass assem-
blage Of Tennessee which is to take place in
this city on Thursday, will be one of the
largest ever held here. The Railroads lead
ing to Nashville have shown unusual liner
ality in extending the use of the roads free
of charge to all accredited delegates-both
coming and returning on that occasion. Our
steamboats, have also made liberal arrange
ments for carrying the various delegations
looking to this mode of conveyance. In
view of the probable inadequacy of hotel
accommodations for the vast crowd, we res
pectfully suggest that our citizens open their
homes to the reception of their friends and
fellow-citizens. Whilst the occasion is to be
political, it is not designed to be partisan,
and it would afford most appropriate OPP
portuny for a social reunion Of no less value
and significance than its public objects. 1t
is thus that the wanderers Of forr bitter and
dreary years, friendsseparated and estranged,
could again renew the social ties, and pledge
at one and the same time, upon the affairs of
private friendship and ofpublic duty union
of hearts, heads and hands as the surest and
strongest support of the American people.
Pouring the waters of Lethe over the past,
all can now come together in a common pur-
pose to repair as far as may be its errors, and
to make the future happy and glorious.
We submit this suggestion to the Com
mittee of Arrangements that steps may be
taken at once in the premises.

SOUTHERN PERSONAL ITEMS.


Victor Flournoy, one of the richest plan
tiers in Louisiana before the war, died at
Helena, Arkansas, a few days ago. He was
native of Scott county, KY.
Among the passengers saved from the
wreck of the w. r. Carter, was Richard
Gano, late Brigadier General in the Con-
federate army. He had been through a
thousand perils Of the camp and the battle
field, and finally was blown up on the w. r.
Garter. He was rescued from the burning
wreck and taken to Vicksburg, where he at
the last dates, was in fair way of recovery.
Gov. Hamilton, of Texas, has appointed
William Alexander Attorney General of
that State. Mr.. Alexander is a native of
Kentucky, but has been for many years a
resident of Texas.
J. NJ. Campbell & Sons, of New York,

The call for the Mass Convention which
is to assemble in this ctr on the 22d inst
sufficiently indicates its purposes. The Or
gan Of the Radicals has been kind enough to
suggest, from time to time, suitable resolu-
tons for the adoption of that body, and
some Of those who either dictate its courie or
follow in its footsteps have been indisTeet
enough to denounce the President IS the
leader of the Secessionists. This is easily
explained. The attachment of ANDREW
JOHNSON to the Constitution, his determine
ton to administer the Government on it, and
the just interpretation placed on its pro-
visions by the fathers Of freedom in America,
does not please Mr.. Sumner and Mr. Stevens
and those Of that liver. 1t does not please
the memorialists" and their "begtarly
account" of followers in this State. II was
not intended to please them. On the contra
ry, it was designed to counteract and, as iaras
possible, in this State and elsewhere, redress
the fnatical schemes of those who would
change thenature of the Government and re-
duce to silence and bondage those who would
perpetuate it in thespiritand upon the princi-
Piles laid down by those who wrested it from
British domination and laid its foundations
on the broad basis of written organic law.
If it has any object outside of this, we have
no interest whatever in it.
We did not call this meeting, and have no
right or desire to dictate what shall Be its
action. But we may be permitted to utter
warning against the mischief-makers who
may seek to control, either directly or midi
rectly, its action. 1t has only to perform
the great duties devolving upon the true
lovers of constitutional liberty. II in any
shape, looking TO different result, the en-
emiesof this end and aim appear, it will
only have to spurn them from its consi,lera-
ton, and go forward in the assertion Of the
Union upon the Constitution, and the wise
and magnanimous means adopted by the
President 20 restore and maintain it.

THE New York 1ribanes Washington
correspondent says of Mr.. Bancroft Grafton:
''The opinion that Mr.. Bancroft's attack on
foreign Governments, on the occasion Of the
obsequies of Mr.. Lincoln, in the presence of
the Representatives of these Governments as
the guests of the nation, was an unjustiiiable
act of impropriety, is quite generally enter
tanned and openly expressed here. One of
the most singular incidents of the occasion
was the following: Mr.. Romero, the Minis
ter of the Mexican Republic, presented him
self at one of the doors of the Hall of Rep
resentatives, but having accidentally forgot
ten TO bring his card of invitation with him,
he was refused admission by the door-keep-
err, on the grounds that the orders issued on
that point were very strict. The matter was
referred to the chairman of the Committee
of Arrangements, but the door-keeper was
sustained in his refusal to let Mr.. Romero
in, 50 that the Foreign Minister to whom
Mr. Bancroft had something very agreeable
to say, was kept out, while the English Min
lister, who had to submit to very hard treat
ment, was let in to hear it." 1t is under
stood that Mr. Bancroft failed in more res
poets than one to please the Radicals.

1.-THE RIGHT WAY As UNDERSTOOD
AT BOSTON.

The leaders, both great and small, of the
revolutionary party in the Northern States,
who on the floor of the Federal Congress,
and elsewhere, are obstructing the work Of
paci6cation, are earning positions in history
for themselves which will be far from envia-
BILE They are requiring the indefinite ex-
clusion of eleven or twelve of the States from
their proper and rightfnl position in the
Union, and the resumption by their people
Of their civil rights and advocating the con-
tinuance Of military and pro-consular rule
over them. They know that this system is
at direct variance with the genius of our in
situations, and palpably in contrayention of
the rudimental principles Of republicanism.
They know, that in effect, it is the despotic
rule Of portion of the people of this coun-
try over another portion, and in princi-
pie not whit different from the domination
exercised by England, France or Russia over
one of their colonies. They are ever prating of
liberty, and proclaim themselves the espe-
cial champions of republicanism; they as
sumo 10 know better than the fathers or any
one else, what republication is, and have
erected a cabal OF their worthless into a
Court Of High Commission, TO examine the
constitutions Of States, and pronounce upon
their republican soundness; they are filling
the earth with cry for freedom "as broad
and general as the casing all" and ye, are
denying TO their own fellow citizens Of the
same lineage and ancestry the simplest priv
ileges which attach to the character Of free
citizens. And all this they are doing and
proposing TO do under the plea Of "neces-
sitvp-the ever recurring cry and Shibbo-
leth of tyrants; and on the ground that 'the
life of the nation" of which they have as
sumed the peculiar guardianship demands
certain guarantees" which they viii pres
cribe.
To sustain this plea and position they are
never weary Of describing the chaotic condi-
ton Of governmental affairs in the Southern
States, and descaniing upon the obstinate
and incouisible disloyalty Of their people,
and their deep-seaied dislike to the Union,
and so-ealled Union people--of asserting the
impossibilify Of Northern man or unio n
man being permitted TO live there in peace
end IN the pursuit Of business, unless the
military power Of the government Is al
hand fos his protection; and of paradins

THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

This body is still at dead lock. There
being no law to COMPEL the attendance Of
absent members, the present status is likely
to be preserved for awhile. The State
Constitution (Art. 2, sec. III defining the
powers of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatiyes says:
'Two-thirds Of each House shall constitute
quorum to do bushes; but smaller num-
Der may adjourn from day to day, and may
be authorized By lar to compel the attendance Of
absent members"
, The Legislature never having passed any
law authorizing either House. when below
quorum, to compel the attendance of alb
sent members, the Speaker and the House
are powerless.
Since the foregoing was in type the fol-
lowing compulsory process has been issued
by the Speaker.
We understand that Messrs Garrett, of
Overton, Thomas of Coffee, Willis Of Haw-
kins, and one or two others, whosenames we
did not learn, have rendered their resig-
nations. IN the present condition of the
country it would be wise and patriotic if the
Legislature would adjourn sine die and refer
all these matters back to the people who
elected them. The country wants peac 1t

FRED. DOUGLASS AND THE TENNEs-
SEE LEGISLATURES.

We publish this morning. as one of the
curiosities of these disjointed times, the
lecture" delivered by FRED. DOUGLASS in
Washington one day last week, entitled "the
assassination and is Lessons" Rather a
significant theme for the consideration of
the incumbent of the Executive chair. The
meeting was presided over by CHIEF JUS
TIcE CHASE. We are not told by whom the
lecture was written, but that is not important,
as it is well adapted to the calaber of the
party delivering it. The lecture was re-
peated in Philadelphia, with some increase of
virulence. From the report as delivered in
the latter city, we extract the following, to
show the admirable harmony existing be-
tween this recognised "head center" of the
sable race, and his colaborers against PREsI-
DENT JOHNSON in the present Legislature OF
Tennessee:
The crime Of crimes which now threatens this
nation is not one that kills the body but one that
murders the soul of the nation. 1t is one that
strikes at the national honor 1t is one that must
