HE
On Tuesday last the Democratic Con-
vention of Louisiana opened an adjourned
session, at which much good work In the
interest of the party was accomplished.
Among other things the following rules
for the organization Of the party oil q
permanent basis were adopted
Rule In each parish of the State
the present parish committee shall pro-
ceed as 0 as practicable to order an
election under such rules and regulations
as they may provide, Of 2 parish COM
mittee. to serve for the term Of one year
to date from the third Monday Of No
vember, 1s68, or until their SUCCESSORS
are elected and Immediately after the
organization of the parish committee, 1t
shall be their duty TO communicate the
names OF their officers and To furnish
their address Co the State Central Com
mittee.
Rule 2.-Immediately after the organ
izAtion of the Parish Committee as pro-
vided for above, they shall proceed TO
elect one delegate from each country
parish, and delegate from q ward
Of the parish of Orleans, whom, together
with five to be appointed by the Presi-
dent of the present State Convention, to
constitute q State Central Committee,
located in the city Of New Orleans, seven
of whose members shall constitute q
Quorum. The State Central Committee
to serve for q year from the third Mon
day in December, OF until relieved by
their successors in Office.
Rule 3.-The Parish Committee shall
have full power TO provide fer the time
and ann Of all primary elections and
TO control all financial matters within
their respective parishes.
Ru!e 4.-The State Central Committee
shall have power to call all State or Con-
grezsional Conventions through the vs.
Tious parish committees. It shall be
their duty to supervise and control the
general welfare OF the party, and TO
Communicate al matters OF interest to
the parishes.
Rule 5-As soon as a quorum OF the
Central Committee is appointed, as here
tofore provided, they shall proceed TO Or
ganizs and enter upon their duties.
We commend these rules to the con-
sideratiou Of the party in Tennessee, who
should remember that we are shortly to
be called upon again to contest with
Radicalism for supremacy in the State.
We should take time by the forelock,
and be prepared with at least the nu-
cleue of an organization ia every county,
such IS the above rules provide for.

The party 10 which we adhere, and we
believe is based upon sound principles Of
State policy.
When the Post again attempts to lee
ture Us upon prescription we hope It will
remember is late advice to the negro
"to arm, arm," and also that it is the
only organ OF its party in the State that
at present opposes the Acknowledgement
of the 80, 600 white msn whose intelli-
gence built up the Commonwealth Of
Tennessee. It must purge itself Of these
crimes, as we'll as that we slledged and
proved against it yesterday, ere it lee
lures US upon a prescription, the best dis
avowaI of which we have given in re-
peated articles upon internal improve
meats and immigration. As to the en-
icrcement of the laws, It rests more with
the Post and its party than with
Us to enforce them, since we have
no voice, and can only advise
where our advice has time and again
been rejected. But we will contend, as
We have, for the utmost latitude con-
sistent with law, for every individual,
and publish the most encouraging and
the bsst words we can muster in favor of
every enterprise for the coed Of our State
and people.

Halleekis report recommends the estab-
lishment of military posts in the vicinity

OF a vessel Of war In those waters. A

That its agricultural facilities would yield

PROsCRIPTT0R

The Post Of last evening does not apol-
Ogise for its Misrepresentation of the
spirit Of our people, but takes up the
dead embers Of the late political fires
and u~nblushingly charges US with now
wRging a wal against the freedmen.
The fact is patent to every reader of the
APPEAL that we do not and have not
waged war sgsinst the negro; that We
are DESTROYS that the freedmen shall be
guaranteed In every right necessary to
bis welfare and W~ell-bei1g. We do not
believe the franchise should be conferred
upon him because he has not ia our
opinion the intelligence TO discriminate
for himself, or to become well informed
as to the right IT wrong of the great
questions Of State policy upon which
elections turn; and because every at
tempted interference with these questions
by him, robs the country Of his labor and.
as 80 far has proven the case, leads to
turmoil, riot and murder.
The free expression Of these sen.
timents does not necessarily carry
with it the persecution of the col
ored a 1t is part Of the platform Of

TIKI AVALANCHE ON A GRAVE SUB
IFCT


Oar contemporary Of the Avalanche,
Who, every day, like the famous Knight
Of Ls MRBehs," roams in search of 8
fresh object of attack, yesterday made
an onslaught upon the APPEAL on SC
count Of the industry it displayed in
placing the obituaries Of certain eminent
worthless before the Memphis public be-
fore it could End time to look around and
hunt up the material for 80 much labor
aud evidence of intelligence and enter
priss. Il regards US as having grown lu-
gubTicus, and advises that we should
wear Grape, sink into q m%ausoleum, and
think forever upon grave subjects, or else
apply to it for the matter for that spirit
aud dash which it thinks should chRrsc-
terise our editorial expression. We are
afraid it is beyond the province of the
Avalanche to advise us. Its devotion Of
q whole half column to SO grave g sub
ject, suggests 8 strong tendency to the
gravity for which it butts" US in its
" peculiar way. Besides that, in
airing its ignorance OF the community
whom it speaks Of as never having heard
of RossIEI and RoTHsCHILD, we are re-
minded that 1t is too far behind the age,
too backward in the true journalistic tact
that seizes upon the current news Of the
day, and deals with it as it deserves
until another subject presents, for US to
be guided by It ia u conduct Of the
"OLD APPEAL" Then, too, in sheer
pity for an old friend who win run blind
tits, we cannot apply to it for matter for
editorials when the only subject it has
bsrped upon for two weeks is the " uni
verssl suffrage " doctrine that GREELEY
and WENDELL PHILLIPS ssy will be
forced down our Threats, whether we
will or not-R subject that We regard an
error Of judgment and political heresy
likely to prove the death Of the AVG-
IGache, and give Gs occasion for another
obituary, longer and more dolorous than
any we have yet published to the public
Of Memphis. AS to the description or
Paradise which the AVGlGnchs suggests
we should give q readers, We prefer
that each for himself shall find al EVE
and make q paradise, by = true life, far
surprising our descriptive powers and
beyond our lugubriOus dreams.

BOSTON.

BOSTON. November 19.-There was 3
large attendance on the Tesssembling Of
he Woman's Rights Convention to-day.
Rev. J. Freeman Clark advocated edu-
eating the sexes together. Addresses fol-
lowed by Fred Douglass, Chss. Barnard,
and Hon. W. Frank Bird, expressive OF
sympathy with the movement to estab-
lish suffrage for women.
The following embraces the general
scope:
Resolved, That We invite the Republic
can party to drop the wstchWoId of
" manhood suffrage" and the Democrats
the motto OF " white government" and
write en- amendment TO the Constitution
Of the United States, extending suffrage
to al men and women, az the inaliena
BILE birth-right of every American citizen.
Senator Wilson spoke, and expressed
himself strongly in favor of female suf-
frage. but he did not want that or any
other question put forward untl the
Southern question was fully settled. He
said he had no doubt but that Congress
would authorizes cOiored men to vote in
every State, but as sOme good men doubt
ed the prOpriety OF this il Was proposed
70 put forward during the coming win.
ter an amendment TO the Constitution
enforcing the political dogma that s
negro has the right 10 vote in every
State, and with twenty-six legislatures
ia our favor to only nine against Us, our
success is at least probable, and when
that was done the female suffrage ques-
ton world have q clear way and be
aided By the success of the other, and
would stand q better chance of q speedy
triumph, because men could not feel a
prejudice against their own mothers,
sisters, lovers, and friends, az they had
against the colored man heretofore, and
he was in favor of making colored SUIT
frage sure before taking another step.

The telegraph of this morning affords
US the first approach to a truthful &C
count of the present status Of the Cuban
revolution that we have hsd since it
commenced. We are told that the
wealthy people and the students, those
most interested in the material prosper
ity Of the island, have Joined the insur-
gents, who have possession Of the int
riOr, sI the lines OF railroad, and every
strategic point. The troops Of the Span
ish Government are confined to the
towns, and feel them selves SO unequal to
the task of coping with the insurgents
that they have barricaded ia Puerto
Principe and other places, in hourly fear
Of an attack. The dispatch closes with
the intelligence that the "~insurgeRt Or
CARNATIONS are complete IL every re-
spect," and are therefore well advised
that the Madrid authorities cannot sue
cor the soldiers they SO closely beieaguer,
and that in New York as well IS In New
Orleans preparations are being made by
LlELL ALlcnNS loL al LuC WSuI L4DLGT anu
material they may need to accomplish
their purpose. They are slss advised Of
the great abolition meeting held 1t Mad
rid three weeks since, presided over By
SALUsTIANo O~LoZAGO, which lasted
Ave hours, and where five thousand OF
the best people OF the capital voted
unanimously for the abolition Of slavery
IN al the Spanish colonies.
The only barrier to the unanimous an
nexstion Of Cuba TO the United States,
by the vote Of her people, is the fear Of
the loss of their slave property. II that
loss is TO be forced upon them-snd it
will be, We are well assured-then they
will make 3 choice 10 favor of that Gov
eminent to which they sre allied by ties
stronger than any that have ever bound
them to Spain. So far the indications
are favorable to such a coDsullmstion.

DIVIDE YOUR

In our local columns this morning we
publish some facts in regard to immigrs-
ton, that we commend to the careful
attention Of our readers. The sugges-
tons there made are the result OF ex-
perience and inquiry, by a gentleman OF
this city, intimately connected with one
Of our leading railroad enterprises. he
has been Is far as Montreal, Canada, and
New York city, and in each place con-
versed not only with the emigraDt
agents and officials, but with the emf
grants themselves, receiving from each,
in answer to his question Why they
did not eHnigrste to the South 81 the re
ply That we (5outhFons) had not made
provision for them, by the subdivision
Of lands and by such other preparations
as are usual IN the Western States.D We
send agents to New York and Montreal,
but do not provide agents here at home,
at the points whence the immigrants are
to be distributed to such portions OF the
State as they desire to inbsbit.
Yesterday we published some remarks
from Commissioner BOKUM pertinent to
the complaint Of these people, who as
sured our informant that nothing pre-
vented their immigration to e land like
ours-where they can enjoy so delightful
q climate, in comparison TO the rigorous
one Of the North-but the failure Of our
State to meet them and look after their
wants of location and coil, until they
become fairly settled and Incorporated
by years residence with cur people.
Our farmers should first 10 their part,
and divide their land, and then ask the
Legislature, in conformity with the
recommendation Of the Governor and
the Commissioners Of Emigration, TO ap-
point proper officers to provide for i'm
migrants as their ignorance Of our habits
and customs msy require.
