promises to pay the Indans-the alleged owners Of
the lands In question-twenty cents per acre some

public meeting OF the Young Mems Democratic

Addresses were made in the course OF the evening
by the chairman and Messrs. Ambrose l.. Pinney,
Cyril H. Brackett, John W. Murphy, ID. G. Calvin and
others. Most Of the speakers alluded in high terms
to the prospects OF the democratic party at the ap

Der, and the name OF Chase was received with
marks Of enthusiastic appreciation Mcclellan, Sey-
mour and other prominent democratic leaders and
statesmen were not without supporters, and cheers
long and loud repeated at the slightest allusion
to them as probable candidates for the Presidency.
There seemed be that however In the tone OF the
speakers and In the applause OF the assembly which
virtually accepted beforehand the succession OF
Chase. The July Convention, II was believed, would
be composed OF the wises ablest and purest men OF
the democratic party. and they were to select the
man who to be the executive officer OF the ma
tlon for the next term. IL might be the other
OF the popular men OF the party; but 1t would be the

transaction OF some routine business the president
remarked that there was not, In his judgment, that

vailed and Thomas o. Donahue, Jerry Hurley aud

To correspondents inquiry upon the point, We
reply Yes, it is ungrammatical to say II shall try
and come to see YOU" One reason is that, i
come is construed in that way, there is sense il
using try at all-that is to say, I shall try and !
shall come, become two separate propositions O.
which the latter covers the former, and more. Il
is somewhat analogous to saying II shall buy some
corn and barrel of corn, when barrel of corn

THE CONVENTION.

Unless the Supreme Court, which is now in ses-
sion at Washington, declares the Reconstruction
Acts unconstitutional is not improbable
Convention of adventurers negroes and no-bodles,
which is to assemble in Charleston, on to-day,
will organize government, which, in our opinion,
will last for several years at least and it is mat
ter of some interest to know what they are going
to do or attempt.
From all that we can learn, the recent changes
in political sentiment at the North will modify very
materially, the proposed plans Of the Radical par
ty here and we would not be surprised ifthe Con-
stitution they frame, Tor rather which has been
framed for them) should abound in specious con-
servatism. Universal suffrage may be expected
as matter of course, and that of itself, would be
enough to damn it but beyond this we doubt if
they will attempt any violent changes, which would
not be acceptable to majority of the white people
of the State. 1t is probable that all debts con-
tracted for negroes will be declared null and void.
and all other ante-war debts scaled down. These
measures will be very popular with very large
class, who would prefer risking their political
rights, to sacrificing their property to pay debts
which they are fast coming to regard as unright-
eous '...r.c- ...-
We have heard that it is the intention Of the
leaders to leave, undisturbed the present judiciary
system, and to continue in Office all of the old
Chancellors and Judges, requiring no test oath
from them, and to disfranchise none save bose al
ready debarred by act of Congress. By making
such show of conservatism, they will hope to
have their Constitution ratified by the people and
accepted by Congress- and will then fasten upon
us government, which WILDE like the Old Man
of the Sea on the back of Sinbad the Sailor.
From all that we can learn, everything is not
harmonious among this band of brothers, asdis-
sensions and divisions raise their hideous forms al
ready. The Northern men, the Saints" who
have come out to possess the earth, wish the lion
share of the offices and spoils, while the South
en renegades think it all very fine that none but
..'loyal' men should feed upon the carcase of our
odState. Theyfeel that they are the true "saints,
the men who have passed through fire and perse
cution Tin Confederate "bomb- proof Offices" for
example, and that by virtue of their capacity for
''iron-clads," they are entitled to and fitted for
the government of the land, with all the steaings
thereunto accruing.
Besides these elements, there will be the negro
faction, pure and smple-the 'forty acre and
mule" men-the most honest parcel in the whole
lot probably Altogether, the constitutional con-
veution," so-caled-will be an interesting specta-
Gle to God and man, and the actings and doings in
the ''City by the Sea" for the next month, will
cause many ripple which will stir up the dead
serenity of our existences.

THE REMOVAL OF THE aARRIsoN.

Everything has been quiet, since the withdrawal
Of the troops from this point. In other parts Of
the South someapprehensions have been felt that
upon such an event. there would be acolision and
trouble. We have never had any fears of this
kind, and the results, so far, do not warrant any,
The negroes are as quiet and peaceable as we
have ever known them. Most of them have set
tied down in their respective homes, and but few
are to be found upon the streets. Lieut. DeFor-
rest, of the Feedman's Bureau, still remains here.
Those persons who employ freedmen would do well
to have their contracts approved by him, to save
any trouble in the future.
