In our advertising columns will be
found the advertisement Of the Desoto
Commercial College, under the presi-
dency Of Prof Towel, who comes among
us amply attested as an accomplished
and successful teacher We understand
that each student of this institution, be :
fore he can graduate, must receive a
certificate from Me,srs. Ben. May and j.
L. Norton, Of the firm Of Briggs Il Nor
ton, of his ability to keep set of mer-
camille books by double entry, after
undergoing an examination by these
parties. The names of these gentlemen
are an ample guarantee that this exami-
nation will be no sham. We especially
commend this feature of the Desoto
Commercial College. We hope now, as
Journalists we shall soon be relieved of
the annoyance so often experienced of
the difficulty of getting reporting well
and thoroughly done. A young man in
a few months time might, by availing
himself of the facilities now offered him
for acquiring the art of short hand, make
a really handsome income. N8

Memphis Club Hall, corner Second and
Union streets, commencing tonight.

tition. Go to the fair tonight.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY ON JEFFeRsoS
STRREr-About 2 o'clock this morning
the private Waterman employed by the
tenants Of the Adams and Jefferson
blocks discovered two amen iumbling
about the door Of s. Kaufman a Bros
tobacco and cigar store, under the Edo
RADIO. In q moment the door opened
and one of the men stepped inside.
The Waterman who meanwhile stealthily
approached, called to them. The rob-
Der who had entered suddenly sprang out
on the pavement, and both ran toward
the nearest alley. The Waterman at
once fred, but without effect, and the
rascals escaped. In their flight they
dropped large, new brass door key and
small iron key. The FIRST had evil
IDENTIFY been made for the door from an
impression previously taken in wax
The large key fitted the lock exactly.
Both were found by the watchman, and
this morning given to Kaufman 4 Bro.
Whether the burglars were white men
could not be ascertsined in the darkness.
That they are skilled operatives there
can be no doubt Our merchants should
bar as we'll as lock their doors, il they
would be safe from the efforts of night
nrowlers.

THE CONVENTION.

We have not yet seen the official re-
suit Of the late election in regard to a
Convention. The majority for it will
be about 10000; but could very easily
have been doubled. Frederick, Carroll,
Hartford aud Calvert, We believe, are
the only counties 10 the State against
IL; aud they by very small majoritics.
Hartford aud Calvert being very largely
Conservative only prove that tho full
strength Of the party was not exerted.
The Convention having been called, il
is the duty of our friends not to under.
rate its Importance. The Legislature
has done much, but much yet remains
to be dine. Notwithstanding the fire.
que-t changes Of the Constitution it is
yet far from perfect. We sincerely
hope that it may be greatly improved
on the present occasion but VIC coun-
sci our friends TO have patience. We
well know the difficulties which environ
such bodies, and that with the best in.
tentions delays win creep in, and that
part Of the public press will give cur.
rency to i'll natured expressions and un.
deserved ccnsures. The Convention Of
1851 sat about six months, that of 1864
a little over four months; but We trust
the present one viii not exceed three
months. Some think they eau finish
in one month /; aud so they may, if they
do not waste time in debate, or attempt
to revise very much of the Constitution,
The Convention is composed of the best
men Of the State, and we shall expect
ofthem to do their work weHand expe.

On the 18th inst. the Stat, Central
Committee Of the Radical Party met in
Baltimore. How many counties were
represented We know not; but, as so
ilttle flourish over the matter is made
in the report, We presume there was a
slim attendance. They determined
that district meetings should be held,
and County Conventions to select dele
gates to attend a State Convention to
meet in Baltimore May II, to deliber-
ate on the best mode of guaranteeing to
the people Of this State a Republican
form Of government. To the primary
meetings, County Conventions and State
Convention arc invited all loyal citizens

race to the broad and inviting field Of
Africa could be effected peacuably il
all the whites would carefully instil IN
to the African mind the true doctrine
Il capuot be 80 doae now. Congress IS
filed with men who, for mere party
purposes, or mistaken zeal, have tram
pied upon the Constitution aud the
rights Of white men in order to exalt to
a position beyond their merit, and even
their expectations, race whose per.
manent home this cannot be. The re-
suit viii be that, in a very short period,
the whites aud the blacks will be ar
rayed against each other with the most
bitter feelings--thc latter having been
instigated to this BY those for whom the
Southern whites win ever feel the great
eat eontempt-and then, when the real
war Of races commences, the North will
at last take sides with their own color
and it will be soon found out again that
the ignorance and perversity ofmen on
y hasten what they mean to preveutE
and that they cannot alter the law Of
nature, or, which is the same thing, the
designs Of Providence.

biack race 70 equal pohfieai rights--'is
agreat mistake; and that il viii be re
GREETED BY most Ofthen, perhaps when
too late for remedy. A fit Of excessive
condescension appears 70 have seized
on their minds, when they thus seek so
suddenly, to raise 70 the high dignity Of
full American citizenship mass Of
people who are 90 little fitted for the
intelligent exercise Of this great privi-
lsge. We are inclined, however, 10 at
tribute il more to a spirit Of hatred and
revenge towards the South, rather than
to excessive philanthropy and sincere
desire to Acknowledge the brotherhood
OF man.
We have explained our position here
tofere. We maintain the doctrine that
all men are equal in the sight Of their
Creator; but we believe He has ordered
that the equality Of races shall only be
exhibited in distinct nationali,ies; aud
has implanted in each peculiar pride
Of race and color Which, if properly OBJ
served, will preserve its purity, and
bring to perfection that charming pari-
ety. which appears to be the grand de-
sign Of the Creator in every department
Of his wonderful works, man not ex-
ceptsd. We claim for the white race
nothing more than we are willing to
concedc to the black race under similar
circumstances. Should they prove
themselves capable of working out the
glorious destiny which we believe the
Almighty designs for them, and raise
up in Africa, the land from whence they
came, great civilized and Christian
nation Of the black race, we would con-
cede to them the same right of jealous
care over the purity Of the fashionable
color; and the same privilege Of refus-
ing the pale faces to participate in the
affairs Of their government.
Besides the great difference ofcolor,
which must ever stand as an impossible
barrier between the two races, the black
race never participated in laying the
foundations ofthis government, nor con-
tributed 10 any degree to the original
acquisition OF these rights and privile-
ges which constitute the glory Of the
white man in this country. It is true
that they we're brought to this land
against their will, and have ever since
been held, as they only properly could
be, as subordinate race but what
would they have become had they not
been stolen from their native land p
Clearly, nothing more than their fpro-
fathers we're, or their kindred there Of
the present day arc now-uumitigated
barbarians. For thousands Of years the
black race Of Africa, when left 10 them
selves, have not improved particle
We have proved that, in state ofser-
vitudc, they can be highly improved !,
but for doing them this service they can
have no riplt IN. claim, tb.t mo .hn,ll
