THE MEN TO RECONSTRUCT VIRGINIA.
There was quite q respectable attendance
of colored men at Hlliard's Hall last night
to hear a lecture on the above subject
from Joseph Ferguson (colored), OF this
city. His theory was that men of ability
and moral worth must do it, and that the
ignorant and the debased must be left out,
said persons to be either white or black.
1t was the opinion of the speaker that the
Constitutional Convention was composed
of the lower order of whites and blacks,
and did not represent the people of Viz
oinia,

TExAs.-The Convention has been car,
ried by o small majority of the registered
voters. Three-fourths of the votes were
cast for the Republican ticket, and the

blacks were elected.-F67aey.

RESULT OF THE Inquest. THE coroner's
Jury met at the Old Market yesterday, pur-
suant to adjournment, and proceeded to
further investigate into the causes Of the
death of the mulatto infant found on
Mr.. Nye's premises late Monday night.
After full hearing of the testimony
of all who knew anything about 1t
(Which was not much), the jury rendered a
verdict that the child had been born alive,
and had come to its death by the hands OF
some person to them unknown.

A STRANGE YEAR.
The present year has been strange enc
thus far We have had more severe thun-
der and lightning, more sudden rain storms
than for many years previous Not many
months ago a celebrated astronomer pre-
dicted that this would be one of the most
memorable years for tornadoos hurricanes,
storms and earthquakes. The prediction
thus far has been singularlY correct; storms
of the most severe character have occurred
in ali parts of the country, and we fear they
are not yet at an end.

Thoughts for Tennesseeans

All profess to be anxious for the redemp
ton of our loved State and of the whole
country from the bonds of Radicalism. The
labors and successes of Democracy towards
that end have been earnest and promising
Such as have not lost all hope confess that
the Democracy is-our only hope. Would it
not be a shame to Tennesseeans If they re-
fused to join hands with this party Of tie
future, and failed to be represented in its
general councils
We must have State Congentienl
And would it not be a greater SHAME if the
people allowed politicians to D15sTepreSeHt
them before the Democratic Council ?-if
the people showed so little interest in their
own redemption as to permit a few timid
men, in whom the fear of God has been sup
planted by the fear Of Brownlow. to use the
name and reputation Of this proud old
| Democratic State for their own selfish pur-
poses, mayhap?
The people grumble that BrOwnlow does
not allow them to regulate their own affairs
/ But Brownlow cannot prevent them from
/ regulating the affairs of their party-the
/ Democracy. There is no excuse for apathy
in this matter. If the people allow a few
! oligarehs to frame and personate their party,
/ they should, in consistency, cease to abuse
| the Brownlowites for monopolizing the civil
machinery.
Some will ask, what can we do2 We
/ have no hope of carrying the State for the
Democratic candidate next November.
BE not too sure of that. The part Of
wisdom is to be alsays prepared.
Besides, we have quite as much substantial
support to offer the party as the Democracy
of Spragues plantation, sometimes called
Rhode Island We have as much right at
least as they in the Convention We have
as much power as they And we can DO as
much as they, towards carving the success Of
