Eranf,s wit.

In the camp before Yicksbnrg the
pompous ways Of Gen. MeClernand,
and Gen. Grants dislike Of him, were
elucidated BY a little pleasantly among
tho officers. Once when q number OF
the Generals were amusing themselves
by guessing the ages of one and an
Other of the officers, Gen. McClern-
and's age was under discussion. Some
guessed that he was fifty years of age.
"Ohl no." said Grant "sueb man
as that was mover got up in fifty
years" Pbis derisive hit at the Pc
culiari:ies Of the Illinois General was
received with much merriment among
the Generals; and not less enjoyed
among all ranks as it was rchearsed
among them.

MEETING OF COUNTY
CoMsuTrEE.LAt a meeting of tn,
! County Executive Committee, held a
the Office of the Chairman, January 25
1868, it was resolved that the ratio o.
delegation in the Convention TO be held
on the 18th February, 1868, shall be one
for each lO0 votes cast Ia the last Mayors
election, or fraction over half the same,
and shall be distributed as follows:
First ward, seven delegates; Second
Ward, four delegates; Third Ward, four
delegates; Fourth Ward, two delegates /;
Fifth Ward, three delegates; Sixth
Ward, three delegates Seventh Ward,
ten delegates Eighth Ward, Eve dele
gates; Ninth Ward, two delegates ,
Tenth Ward, four delegates and that
the Fifth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Civil Districts outside the city of Mem
phis shall be entitled each TO two dele
gates in the said Convention.
On motion the names of Ed. O'Neal
and John Clancy are added as members
of the County Executive Committee.
The COMMITTEES would state that they
simply suggested the Sth Of February asa
suitable time for holding ward and dis.
trict meetings for the selection Of dele.
gates, but since a proclamation of the
Governor has been Issued revoking our
registration certificates, it is now deemed
e%Xpedient aud proper that said meetings
shtli be held as soon as practicable, to
the end that our people shall be made to
fully appreciate she necessity and impOr-
lance of obtaining in due time their GER
tifcstes Of registTs ton, and shall address J
themselves to the important Work before
them. |
The committee is gratiied at the
prompt action Of some of the districts in
the selection OF delegates, and hope they
will be equally prompt and energetic in
applying for their certificates of registra.
ton, for nothing but votes will count on
the day Of election.
The committee would be glad TO see
meetings called and speeches made which
will serve to energize our organization,
for without which we cannot succeed.
