nay- Az the annual meeting OF

NY AT the annual meeting oil the
stockholders OF the Memphis n ONO
railroad held in this city yesterday, the
old directory was reelected 10 serve
during the ensuing corporate year by
almost a unanimous ballot This Is the
very strongest aud most unqualified
Endorsement Of their past acts and ex'
pression of confidence in their future ac-
ceptable management of the affairs OF the
company that Messrs Woodruff, Jones
and their associates could possibly have
received. We trust it may alse serve TO
entirely eradicate any prejudice from
the public mind which may have been
aroused against them by their enemies
through the organ of the clique IN TINS
city. The motives, which from the hrst
have actuated the Bulletin in its assault
upon these gentlemen, have been too pa
tent, we believe to escape the discern
ment of any unprejudiced individ-
ual, and have appeared through all
the logic and cogent reasoning OF
its ponderous editorial deliverances
upon the threatened interests OF
Memphis as through so much gauze.
1t was only the old dodge over again OF
the hedgehog dressed in lace, and the
deception didn't work The public mind
must now be satisfied. The stockholders,
and those having property in the read,
probably know their interests much bet
ter than any newspaper concern could
point the same out to them, and they
have seen fit to continue in office for an
other corporate year the old directory
and officers. To this much has amounted
the stop thief cry of the Bulletin,
and the type and ink it has
expended in waging war upon
Messrs. Woodruff & Co.
Those, if any thea be, whom the But
letia has frightened into belief that the
rolling stock of the road if longer in
trusted in the hands Of the cid direc-
tory, would be devoted to transporting
Memphis, lock, stock and barrel, to
some point on the Ohio river, or distri-
buting the fragments along the line OF
the Louisville and Nashville road, will
now be permitted to breath a trife
easier. They at least have this conso
lation that if they, and all that is theirs
are to be picked up and unceremoni-
ousIy sent whzzing in the direction Of
Louisville, they will have some excel
lent company on the trip in the persons
of the stockholders. We congratulate
both the public and Messrs. Woodruff,
Jones Il Co., upon the election yester-
day, feeling assured that the best inter.
ests of Memphis were consulted therein.

ER We have predicted the inevita'
bility of Radicalism eventually EN-
brscing in its capacious fold all the
isms which with abolition were begot-
ten in New England years ago. The
tendency and disposition to reunion of
this, for some time separated and widely
scattered family of isms, is daily be-
coming more apparent. Negro suprem'
acy is no longer the only plank in the
Radical platform, as many Of its mem
bers are bold to confess. Liquor prohi-
bi,ion and womens rights have already
been migrated in the Radical creed
We note, for instance, no less an ad'
vocate Of the first named ism than Chic
Justice Chase, whose chances for the
next Presidency, if Radicalism holds SC
long lease of power, must be regarded
as very fair.

E6- The Shelbyville Union indorses
our suggestion Of a primary convention
for the purpose fremodelIng the organic
laws of the State. The LEDGER has
shown that no constitutional impediment
exists to the people assembling with this
view, and we hail as propitious omen
the growing sentiment in favor Of the
convention, evidences of which are daily
appearing The inspiration of the edi-
torial course of our Shelbyville contem-
porary being no other than the Presi-
dents Private Secretary, Hon. Edmund
Cooper, an Endorsement ofthe movement
from this quarter is of more than ordinary
significance. Our consciousness of the
right Of our people to assemble in con-
vention is no stronger than our confidence
that they would be protected in the
exercise of that right. As there is no
other redress Of our grievances left us,
convention of our people should by all
means be called, and that at the earliest
day practicable.
