CONSERVATIVE MEETING.

A correspondent from 'Tolleson's Store Un-
ion District, whose communication we have not
room to publish in full, informs us of the organi-
cation Of Conservative Democratic Club at that
place on the 25th ultimo, by the election Of the
following gentlemen as officers Jas. E. De1Ieach,
President; j. H. Alexander and NJ. S. Lynn,
Vice Presidents; ". L. Goudelock and James B.
Toleson, Secretaries We make the following ex.
tract from our correspondents letter:
"Col !. G. McKissick was introduced to the
audience by the President, and delivered an elo-
quent and appropriate address. He explained the
purpose and importance of Conservative meetings
throughout the country, and reasoned sensibly
with our colored friends on the importance Of una
nimity of sentiment. Our esteemed fellow citizen,
Gen. W. H. Wallace, was next introduced to the
assemblage, who acquitted himself most admira-
bly, as an intelligent and able orator. He clearly
showed our colored friends that their former own
ers and not the Radicals, were their true and only
friends. To these gentlemen we feel greatly in
debted and would to God we had enough such
men as Gen. Wallace and Col. McKissick.
Lastly, E. J. Anderson was introduced as our
coored Democratic friend, and after three loud
cheers and hearty welcome, he addressed his COL
ored brethren with q view to convert them over
from Radicalism. He said the Democrats were his
best friends, and he thought they would all find it
out-that they were the true gentlemen and friends
of both races. He advised them to follow wise
and just men in poiitics-such men as those who
had just addressed them.

the Southern States who are here clamoring at the
doors Of either House for seats upon the floor.
One of the reasons alleged for the sudden change
of base Indeed the most potent reason-is the
fear that some of the Southern States-those that
have the largest electoral vote-are likely to cast
those votes for the Democratic presidential ticket.
Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Virginia are
specially named, and are likely to be kept out from
this fear"
The ramie plant, which was introduced into
this country from Java, to the soil of which it Is
indigenous, is attracting much attention in the
South. At an agricultural fair recently held in
Alabama, it was one of the special features Of the
exhibition 1t is claimed that if properly cpltlva,
ted and worked, twill eventually take the place OF
cotton and supply any deficiency in that great
staple production It's fbres are said to be much
finer and stronger than the best fax; that they
are as fine as sea island cotton, and that, after
cleaning they become very soft and white, and
take colors as readily as the finest wool or silk.
Several articles of clothing made from this fabric
were exhibited at the fair referred to, and were
particularly noticed for the strength and beauty OF
the material. The cultivation of the ramie plant
has been successful on number Of plantations in
Alabama.

DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO.

On Sunday night, terrific storm, accompanied
with hail and rain, passed along the western Dor,
dets of this District, following the course of Broad
River The damage done to crops and fencing is
reported to have been heavy. A friend writes to
US, that his farm will notproduce the seed planted
upon it. In some places the fences were lifted up
and the rails strewn several hundred yards away,
leaving scarcely vestige to show where fence
once stood. The wheat crop, under the track Of
the storm, is reported as utterly ruined.
The handsome brick residence of Mrs. Ann E.
Wright on Broad River, was struck by the storm,
which peeled off the roof and carried it over upon
an opposite hill Several smaller dwellings are re-
ported as damaged, or blown over, and many barns,
stables and other outhouses.
The storm extended on both sides of Broad
River, and seemed to follow its course Southward.
Its breadth, and the full extent of the damage
done in this and adjoining Districts, We have not
been able to learn definitely

ADDRESS OF J. B. T00KER, ESQ.

Mr.. Chairman and Citizens: rise to address
you with no small degree of dif6dence, occasioned
by the peculiar position I occupy-that Of being q
Northern man addressing Southern political
meeting on the eve of local or District election
and I am not so certain that should not feel
somewhat embarrassed, when | look around and
see so many who are far more capable of instruct.
ing and edifying you upon politica! subjects and
the state of the country. But lam here to-day for
the purpose of fulfilling what I consider bounden
duty-a duty owe to myself my felow-man, my
section Of country, and my Maker In all actions
of apublic nature, every man is rghtfuly supposed
to be actuated by motive, either of gain, selfin-
terest, revenge, love of applause desire to please
notoriety, or an honest conviction Of duty to do
good and benefit his fcllow-man. And such being
the fact, what is the motive actuating me to-day?
Is it gain? Surely not Is it selfinterest? That
can't be, because [ am not in the ring as a cand-
date for any Office and not even citizen or vo-
ter. Revenge? Most assuredly not. Love ofap-
plause and desire to please? That is absurd !;
for were such the case, am most certainly on the
wrong side of the fence and barking up the wrong
tree Notoriety? No, indeed, or l should have
laid my wires long ago, and long since been in full
communion with the radicals. Then it must fol-
low that my motive is an honest conviction of du-
ty to do good and benefit my felow-man, and such

colored friends present-of whom [ had hoped to
have seen many more than are here to-day-and

footsteps of any who may have been seduced into

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

Since the nomination of Grant and Colfax, at
Chicago, by the Republicans, the interest in de-
termining the men who are to run on the opposite
ticket has been rapidly on the increase. The
chances of Hancock, Pcndleton, Seymour, Chase
and others, are being discussed by the politicians
of the day with much warmth and from present
prospects, the New York Convention will have a
delicate task to perform in harmonizing the con-
fictng preferences of the differing sections, for
their favorites. The Western men want Pendle-
ton and Pendleton they will have (if they can get
him) because he is in favor of,repudiation. Han
cock, also, has strong host ready to support his
claims. But by far the most formidable rival in
the field, thus far, is Chief Justice Chase, who
has been both Democrat and Republican, and a
man possessing more brain, perhaps, than all the
others combined Chase enters the field with a
good war records an able fnancier, and is sup
posed to be able to bring to his aid large Con-
servative Republican vote. His availability seems
to be conceded on all sides, and although still
claiming to be a moderate Republican, has, it
is asserted signifed his willingness to become the
Democratic standard bearer upon the platform of
principles that will, in all likelihood, be adopted at
New York. He is opposed to Military Recon
struction in the South, in favor of a general am
nesty, and all the other principles in the Demo
cratic creed, with one single exception He favors
the suffrage of all classes possessing certain requi-
site qualifications 1t is even supposed that he is
willing to abandon this idea, if the Democrats will
put him in the field as their candidate.
We are not particularly engaged in the business
of President-making, and may not be for some
time to come; and are, therefore, mere spectators
in this gladiatorial picture. We would, however,
be glad to see the Democrats select some man
whom they can elect-who possesses brain enough
to administer the duties of his Office, and who has
enough Of honesty (if such thing be possible) to
administer its duties in the interests of honest

much excitement. 1t is due to the colored people
to say that they behaved in very orderly manner

was no drinking or fighting Many of them return
