ting candidates for the State Convention,

presented, 20 delegates being assembled. DR..
II. NJ. Pritchard was unanimously called to
the chair. and the Rev. S. C. Alexander was
chosen Secretary. An appropriate and pa
triotic address was delived by Gen. R. M.
Barringer, when the Convention proceeded to
the nomination of candidates, which result
ed in the choice of Messrs. Gluyas and E.
Fullings. Upon the nomination of Mr.. Glu-
vas an able and telling speech was made by

iofu one already formed. The mission of the
Republican party is to restore the Union and
perpetuate the blessings of free government. 1t
/ will do this without confscation if it cam with
it, if it must. All private considerations must
yield to this grand object of the partv,Of the
ceantry. How futile would it be then to form
party in North Carolina having any other object
In view than the restoration Of the Union and
the salvation OF the Republic. Men who under
take to divide and distract the Union party now,
are unworthy of public confidence, II the trum-

America expects every man to 90 his duty now.
20 1t has been said, and in the sight of recent
events, trust we may reverently confederate
the truth that God is in history. Seven years
ago the party which elected Abraham Line In
President Of the United States, and which has
since maintained the authority of the government
at the point OF the bayonet, offered by an amend
ment OF the Constitution to guarantee the exist
eEce Of slavery In every State in which 1t then
was untii abolished by the State ITSELF The
student Of history will be puzzled to know why
the South! rejected this offer. The true solution
mag be that God intended that slavery should
be abolished Hence the South rejected the of
fer and went to war. upon the abstract right OF
carrying slavery into the Territories and lost 1t
4 in the States. It grasped at the shadow and lost
\ the assistance. 4 gain the hand of providence
appears to be seen in the work OF reconstruction,
4 SO far IS it has been carried on. Ordinarily 1t is
4 desirable that the coordinate branches OF the
4 government should he In harmony with each
\ other. - The want of harmony in the present
instance, however, has singularly contributed to

| Foul Slander Refated The School
Fund.

Two Of the speakers in the Rebel Con-
vention, Cameron and Baxter CHARGED
Governor Brownlow and his State officers
with the crime of robbing the School Fund
and dividing the proceeds The lie IL
easily refuted. The only State officer who
had ANYTHING to do with placing the school
Fund in the Tennessee National Bank of
Memphis was Treasurer Stanford. who was
the only Johnson Democrat connected with
the State Government. The fund remained
in the keeping of the Governor and Comm
troller for fifteen months, in perfect safety
when DR.. Stanford went to the ComptroI
ler's Office and took possession of It as the
legal custodian of the School Fund. This
step was taken without the knowledge of
the Governor. 1t was the Treasurer's per-
sonal act. The Comptroller had no discre-
ton in the premises His safe had been
used to keep the bonds as matter of con-
yenience, and not of legal duty, and he
could do nothing but surrender them to the |
officer appointed by law to keep them.
The Treasurer gave no intimation to Gov |
ernor Brownlow as to the use he intended |
10 make of the bonds, and, without consul |
tation or advice, placed the full amount in /
the hands Of the President of the Tonnes
see National Bank of Memphis. The Radi /
cal officers of the State Government were
kept ignorant of the transaction. and the
officer whose folly and crime endangered so
large fund was an original JohasoTi Demo
erat, not in sympathy with Gov. Brownlow
or his measures. We trust that Messrs.
Cameron and Baxter will not fail to make
note of those remarkable facts In their next
stump effort, and that they will point the
moral of the tale with the impressive re-
fection that Johnson Democrats are not to
be trusted with places ofhonor or profit

colered man but the white race-such was the policy
OF the Radicals. They were after the subverson Of
i all government this same party. The State was in
the hands Of an oligarehy composed Of as wicked
men as one could Hnd, working together for their
own aggrandizement.
The Radicals he said. were proceeding in such a
way as TO call on collision between the black and
the white races and he very much feared the result
would be attained. He thought, however, that Rad
| icaiism was doomed 10 certain destruction and If
was only question Of tiae, which would be speed
| lily solved.
He was not in favor Of entering into scramble
for the negro vote, but to use them peaceably and
quietly, if not they could be let alone
The speaker then entered upon a somewhat
lengthy abuse of the present State Government
BE drew desolsts picture of Tennessee and her
future prospects, he ranted against the establish
ment Of State militia, and scrambled around
among matters and things generally, to very little
purpose.
A. the close of Baxter's remarks John Leftwitch,
Samuel Jones and VIM. Coleman were appointed
committee Of three to inform Emerson Etheridgs of
his nomination the Conservative candidate for
Governor of Tennessee.
An appeal was then read in behalf of the "Nash-
vile Demokrat," only Conservative sheet in Ten
nessee.
Mr.. Cooper then moved that the Chair appoint
committee of fifteen, one from each Congressional
District aud from the State at large, to act as
Conservative Central State Committee. Adopted.
Mr.. Cameron then moved that committee of ten
be appointed to draft an address to the people of
Tennessee setting forth acts Of tyranny practieed
by the Tennessee State Legislature. Carried.
sl LEFTwITCH CALLED FOR.
Mr.. Leftwitch being called for, addressed the
Convention for a short time, speaking in very en-
couraging terms relative to the prospects of the
CONSERVATIVE party. He thought no man Appreci-
sted the condition more thoroughly than did their
nominee for Governor. Mr. Ethridge, who had been
painting to get before the people as their champion
against the wrongs :hey had suffered
Come what would, they were determined to ex-
trcate the State from its present condition and he
thought they would soon be successful in their eff
forts.
BE felt very hopeful when he looked over the
whole field. The Northern people were coming up
nobly TO their aid, and every election showed that
the Conservatives were steadily gaining ground.
At the close of the remarks of Mr.. Leftwitch, the
Convention passed resolutions of thanks to its Off
cers, and then adjourned sine die, with the under
standing that the delegates were to meet in the Hall
of Representatives at p NJ for the purpose of list
ening TO speeches, etc.

The crusade against Chinese labor on the Pacific
coast seems to be increasing in violence. The Bull
etn Of San Francisco, is doing all it TO set pub
lie opinion right and TO prevent race persecution.
In recent editorial it says that the number of Chi
nau,en IN California Is but little greater now than
il has been any time in the last fifteen years Those
who are not traders usually prefer to work indepen-
IDENTIFY III the mines, or as gardeners. In factories
and on the railroads they I'll places which whites
men win nottake. The Central Pacific road did not
employ Chinese laoorer until compelled % do SO
bv the dearth Of white laborers asking double the
was-es paid TO Cinnamon. Yet the building OF this
road has opened quarres established mills and ma
chine shops, and started several towns. So the
woollen mills Of San Francisco which now employ
bnndreds Of skilled white operatives, could never
have been undertaken without the cheap Chinese
laboy. In the ease Of domestic service the eompe-
tion seems to be more injurious though the Bulle-
tin saws that those who hire Chinese servants would
in their absence do the work of the house them
selves. The Bulletin points to the fact that the
merchants saloon keepers, BARRIERS, &c do not COM
Main Of Chinese competition, and advises the la
borers 10 follow so sensible and manly an example

The following letters reveal the infamous tactics

for the Radical ticket The following letter is from
colored man, who wthholds his name through
fear of violence:

THE FENIAEss-Taough the cable is silent about
Fenian affairs in Ireland and the general belief is
that the rising" is over for the present. all our in

government bestows the most lavish eucomiums on
the Irish police. Many ef the men are TO be deco
