Radical Convention.

BALTIMORE, MAY 14.-In accordance
with a resolution adopted by the Republi-
can Radical State Central Committee on
the 18th April, mixed convention of
whites and blacks assembled at noon, at
Broadway Hall TO take into consideration
the condition of the political affairs of the
State
Col. Wilson, Chairman of the State Gen.
trail Committee, called the convention TO
order and nominated Mai. Gen. A. Denni-
son, temporary chairman, and the nomina-
ton was adopted by reclamation. The
General returned thanks for the honor
conferred upon him in some appropriate
remarks.
On motion a committee on credentials
was appointed. 1t being announced that
the delegation from the Republican asso-
Citations from Delaware were in attendance,
a resolution WINS unanimously adopted IN
yiting them to seats. A number of gen
tlemen were present in the hall, amount
ing to about 1000, which were equally
white and black The latter generally oc-
eupy separate portions of the floor. The
colored representative, Sanders, made an
eloquent and witty speech, advising his
colored brethren to vote the Radical
ticket, and predicting that they will do SO
from the Potomac to the Rio Grandei
Crowds of blacks were winding their way
TO the hall, which promised to be densely
packed during the evening. Some fifty or
sixty policemen were on duty, preserving
The best order, beyond the enthusiasm OF
a number of the members of the conven-
ton. No apprehension of violence or dis
order was apprehended.

From RIchmond-Mr. Davis.

RICHMOND, May l4.-As Mr.. Davis
came ont from the court room and entered
the carriage after his release, he was loudly
cheered by the crowd of negroes outside,
and about fifty of them gathered around
the coach and shook hands with him. He
remained quietly in the hotel all the even
ing. He will visit Canada soon to see his
children.
The first names signed TO the bail bonds

Greeley, then Schell, of New York. and
Jackman, of Philadelphia A little lower
down is the name of John Minor Bolts.
Among those of the residents who signed

There seems to be general feeling Of
relief among the citizens and authorities
that Davis is in the city.
1t is stated that the grand Jury has an
indictment against Vice President ]. c..
Breckenridge, Judge II. Thomas, of Fair
fax, and four others for treason.
The following telegram was received by
Judge Underwood, in the court room to-
day, a short time before he admitted Davis
to bail.
WASHINGTON, May l3.-To Judge I'm

correspondent says Arnell proceeded
to make his speech, which was a mere
school-boy defamation, wholly devoid of
argument, and tending only to array the
white and black races against each

the Coniederacy, and seemed to think,
on the whole, that Jeff Davis was at one

negro

A SCRAP OF HISTORY AND ITS AP-
PLICATION

During the discussion yesterday before
the Court of Impeachment, Of the excep>
ton by the respondent TO the competen-
CIV of member of the court, on the
ground that he was a nonresident Of the
State, at the time Of his election to the
Senate, and also at the time he was sworn
as a member Of the court One OF the
counsel for the State, who was a former
member of the Senate now resolved into
the court argued with emphasis and
iteration, that neither the constitution nor
the statutes made any provision, declaring
non-residence in tie State, or the dis
trict claimed to be represented, dis
qualification from exercising the duties
Of a Senator, when once admitted and
qualified and that upon the disclosure
Of such fact regarding a person filing
that station, there was no vacancy
created and that therefore Mr. Hall as
a member Of the Senate, could not be
declared incompetent as a member of the
court
On the 18th April, 1866, the ereden-
tails Of A. L Garrett, elected a Senator
from Smith and Sumner, having been
presented. the counsel referred %, then
a Senator as chairman Of the Committee
on Elections, reported adversely on the
question Of his admission. The report
said
"The question in his case is whether at
| the date Of the election, 3lst March, 1860,
| and for one wear Immediately preceding
| the election, the claimant resided in Smith
| county, within said Senatorial district.
| The 10th section of article of the con-
siimtion is in the following words: No
person shall be a Senator unless he shall De
a citizen ofAhe United States, Of the age of
| thirty wears, and shall have resided three
years in this State, and one year in the
| county or district Immediately preceding
| the election, The
committee, however, DO not believe that
his domicil or residence was changed from
| Overton To Smith, as far as the proof goes.
| His name was placed on the general ticket
| for the House Of Representatives from
| Overt on county in 1865, and was elected as
such member, and took his seat, and sat as
| such member from Overton until February
| 18th, 1865, when he resigned, signing his
name as Representative from OvertOn.
| This the committee regard as decisive OF
the question Of his domicil and residence
a settlement Of the question of residence
by the claimant himself In the opinion
Of the committee, therefore, the claimant
not being resident of the county of
Smith, or of the Senatorial district, on the
Dist day Of March, 1865, and one year
previous thereto, is not entitled 10 a seat IN
he Senate from said Senatorial district, bat
the same is rdcduf, and we recommend the
adoption Of a resolution declaring the
| same
"All Of which is respectfully submitted.

in, and Col CARROTS seat made vacant

Correspondence of the Union and Dispatch.
DAEDRIDGE, Tenn, May 18th, 18G7.-It
may interest your readers TO learn some
thing of the doings of BrOWnlow's State
Guard in this part of his dominions. A
Mr.. s. T. Harris of this place has been for
several weeks trying to make up a COM
pany, and on Saturday last the llth inst,
they assembled at this place to complete
the organization of the company by the
election of officers, and harder looking
gang never saw in my life. The com
pany is mostly composed of boys from
fourteen to twenty years DID, not half q
dozen ex-Federal soldiers belong TO it, from
the fact that the most Of them are opposed
to Brownlow, and have no faith in such SER
vice. After the election was over and the
State Guards were returning home they met
some colored men on the road, ordered one of
them to dismount and when he dismounted
he was fired al by one of them; but the
colored man saved his life by striking the
pistol with his hand. The ball entered his
horses hip and ruined the animal-after
which some one interfered, and the colored
man was permitted 10 come on to town,
where he procured States warrant for the
malicious offender; but nothing up to this
date has been heard of the assassin. Anoth-
er colored man was cruelty beaten over the
head with pistol by the samesquad. Also
an aged and qniet citizen of this place, Mr..
Campbell, was oyertaken a short distance
from town and badly abused-making him
get off of his wagon-and he was struck on
the head and cursed, and abused shamefnlly
by one of these desperadoes.
So the people can see there is no telling
what bad corn whisky and Radicalism may
do or be instrumental in doing, when armed
and equipped according to Brownlow and
Our recent Radical Legislature.
The people of Jefferson county are wax
ing up to the enormity and outrage upon
them of standing army in time Of peace.
A great many look upon it as the very
means to destroy peace, and retard industry
and enterprise in the country, and bring
about a state of bankruptcy, lawlessness and
general ruin. Yours truly,
JEFFERSON,

JEFFERSON.

CANNON CoUNTY.-A friend writing
from this county says:
Radical rule has made this county an
unpleasant section to live in. A corps of
county officers, elected nobody knows
when, where or how, and no provision
having been made for the election of their
successors, have become supremacy AFRO
CANT The holder of them have even
abandoned hypocrisy-which is the last
homage that vice pays to virtue. Taking
their cue from their leaders, they say that
Congress and Brownlow do not intend to
let the Conservatives control Tennessee. /

go elsewhere as soon ~ possible.
Wheat is more promising here than
ever before at this season. The prospect
for fruit is about an average. There Is

RADICALS PROPOSING To BUY

The latter was Colonel of one of the
first colored regiments recruited in South
