The lecture of Admiral Semmes at the
theater, Saturday night, was gem. 1t
was instructive and scientific, while it
was full of incident, zest and interest at
the same time. In his previous lecture
here be dealt with principles, which the
audience did not so much care to hear,
as the incidents of his perilous cruise,
and hence, in part, doubtless arose the
sparseness of his present audience. We
assure our friends they have lost treat
in not hearing him. The lecture should
be repeated to full house. 1t was, all
in all, the best lecture we have ever
heard in Memphis from anybody, and
one which indicates the man of thought,
scientific information and mind.

We call attention to the report of Col.
John s. Kerr, chairman of committee OF
the Seventh ward club, to form consti-
tuition and bylaws. 1t is good model,
and the suggestion of return to the
Constitution and the government as it
was before the war strikes us as the right
thing. We hope the other wards will go
and do likewise.

TEST OATH FOR VOTERS.

The New York Times says The
Virginia Convention is following the
eximple of Alabama in requiring every
voter to take All oath. "neyer to oppose
the civil and political equality OF all
men without distinction of race or
color" This is to be adopted as test
of fitness to vote. OF course its effect
will be TO exclude all who are opposed
to the Constitution from voting at all.
Why not enact at once that votes a.
gainst the Constitution will not be
counted Why does not Congress
frame q Constitution for every South
eru State and declare it adopted, with
out going through the formal farce OF
submitting It to a popular vote? This
would be quite rs honest and fair as the
bill by which Mr.. Stevens proposed to
impose upon Alabama Constitution
which the people Of that State have
Just rejected. The idea of popular
vote is made ridiculous by such man
ipulations. 1t is enttled to no more
respect here than in France.
