The triumph of the Conservatives
in the Memphis election, is d very
cheering incident in the history of
the day, when connected with the
fact that the Radicals resorted to all
the rascality for which they ar noted,
in order to elect their candidates,
Mr.. Leftwhich will make an efficient
officer, and the city affairs will be ad.
Mustered in the interests of the entire
population, not of negroes and bum

this result, that portion, at least, of
the Radicals are beginning to see and
appreciate the dangers pending over
the country, from the Joint influence
of negro ignorance and Radical cor
ruption. Every section of the State
ought to.take heart from the example
set by Memphis, and try to do like.
