A Sensible Rebel.

Mr.. j. l.. Alcorn, Senator elect
from Mississippi, delivered a sensible
speech in Memphis, Tennessee, on
the 9th of June. He declares that
when the South went into the war it
cut loose from all party, as well as
national ties, with the North, and
that when the war was over n party
at the North was as acceptable to
them as the other. In the work OF
1.-THE reconstruction a conflict has
arisen between two departments of
the Government-the Executive and
the Legislative, and it is possible that
the people may be dragged into a
bloody conflict. When that con-
hict comes he advises the South to
be on the winning side. In 1860
they made the mistake of a
political alliance with the Democracy
of the North, and when the struggle
came they found themselves leaning
on a broken reed. The body of the
Radical party were not obnoxious to
the South; a few leaders might be,
but such men as Wilson and Beecher
were not. The Democratic party had
been dashed in pieces by secession
one-half going into the war to fight
the South, and the others still wor-
Shipping texts from the resolutions of
49," Had the Democrats of the
North stood firm to their pledges, the
Republicans would not have dared to
make war upon the South.
Mr.. Alcorn urged that the South
accept the proposition to settle the
controversy by constitutional amend
5000 IL %ho-ohA Tho Snnthorn
people should be just in this matter,
and look at the subject as if they were
in the position of the North. There
eminent unless the national debt was
guaranteed. The disabled soldiers
and the widows and orphans of those
who fell fighting for their country,
were justly entitled to the care and
protection of the Government. The
South should hasten to put on record
its protest against a reputation
of the National Debt. He de-
clared that Thomas Jefferson was the
Wendell Phillips of his day, and had
uttered sentiments as fatal to slavery
as were ever uttered by any man.
Jefferson's ideas were but carried out
in giving the negro the ballot. Upon
the whole he was in favor of accept
ing the terms proposed by the con-
stitutional amendment. by which the
North forced nothing upon the South
but what it had to take itself.
Mr.. Alcorn is evidently much
nearer reconstruction than the ma
jority of his white fellow-citizens in
Mississippi. He expresses the con
tempt for the Democratic party which
is universal among all the intelligent
and thinking portion of the rebels.
and tells the truth when he assures
the Southern people hat when they
put themselves honestly on the re-
cord in favor Of maintaining the
Government, and upon the platform
of the pending constitutional amend
ment, they will find the Radicals their
best friends in advancing the CONNER
cial, agricultural, and other material
interests of the Southern States

Our citizens will regret to learn of the
resignation Of Alderman Townsend,
which was presented to the Board Of
Aldermen Saturday. One Of our Oldest

course has been marked by devotion to
the best interests of the community.
Memphis never possessed more worthy
public servant, or one whose loss in the
Board will be more keenly felt In con-

drawal it is gratifying to record the
selection of so experienced and practical
a business man as Captain Church as his
successor We hope Captain Church
will find it convenient to serve.

ENDEAVoRIEG TO MANUFACTURE A
RloT.-In consequence of the prepare
tons made we think there is little reason
to anticipate trouble on election day,
despite the efforts of some of the Radi-
Gals to produce it by appeals to the pas
sions and prejudices of the colored
people. 1t is known that the more un-
scrupulous of the leaders, both black and
white, are industriously seeking to
inAame the minds of the blacks by
representing that the Conservatives are
scheming to prevent them, by force, from
voting on the LIST proximo. We have it
from good authority that several Mem
phis Radicals have made representations
Of this character to General Thomas,
although knowing them to be false The
object is to obtain absolute control Of the
troops wherever sent to preserve order,
and use them in accomplishing the
object falsely charged upon their politi
cal opponents. We deem it proper to
mention this as another contribution to
the monument of infamy which the
Radicals are building with which to
crush themselves one Of these days.
