We learn that, it is the intention OF
some OF the most influential;a ana re-
spectacle colored men of this city
shortly to hold a meeting for the pur-
pose of forming a DEMOCRATIC ciup'i
This is a moUe IN the right direction:

In Charleston, though little has been
done publicly, the colored Democratic
clubs are in flourishing condition.
The Ward No. 6 club at one time NUM-
bered about I'VE hundred members but
many Of these have now Joined the club
of the ward in which they live. In
Wards Nos. and there are also
colored clubs, and in a short time there
will be one in each ward OF the city.
At least one thousand colored Demo-
Gratis may now be counted on. They
are respectable men, and have Joined
the Democratic party from conviction
that RadicalIsm is only the road to
ruin. Altogether the movement shows
encouraging elements of strength and
prosperity.
Throughout the State the change OF
sentiment among the freedmen'is even
more decided, as the statements pub
| liShed from ii me to timein our columns
will have shown. There is hardly n
district in the State that does not boRst
of one or moro Democratic clubs. and
the disaffected members of the Union
Leagues are daily coming over.
AT Democratic meeting held at va
zoo City, Mississippi, last week, among
other resolutions adopted were the fol-
lowing:
L. AS citizens of Mississippi, we de-
clare that IL is our. purpose to confer i'm
partial suffrage on all men, irrespective
Of color, and to place all men on terms
of equality before the law, SO that life,
liberty and property may be equally
assured to ali.
2. That our thanks aredue to our col
ored friends, who, actuated by sense
of Justice and patriotic duty, co-opera-
ted with us in the late election, in de-
defeating the oppressive and iniqui-
tous constitution, framed by strangers
and common enemies to them and
ourselves.
o. That as an evidence and testimo.
NAL OF our esteem and goodwill for
them and the value of their noble aid in
just cause and patriotic principles,
and as further token of friendship and
union in support of Democratic princi-
pies, we tender to themsa public barbe-
cue at this place on the fourth Saturday
OF August, 1868.

A number of Democratic negro clubs
have been formed in Eastern Texas,
and colored orators, it is stated, are do
ing efficient work among the freedmen.
AT barbecue at Independence, Wash
in9ton county, the BRENNAN Banner
says there were mt least three hundred
negroes present, who listened with
great interest 10 the speeches, and
many OF them, before leaving the
ground, declared their Dissemination
10 adhere to their white Southern
friends, and vote the Democratic ticket"
The Banner is convinced that with very
little effort nine-tenths of all the ne
groes in the State can be converted TO
the Democratic faith.
a colored Democratic club has been
formed Mt Houston, which holds regu-
lur weekly meetings. The speakers are
unanimously III favor of Seymour and
Blair, and state generally that they are
proud of the opportunity TO unlte with

The Last Word.

The Appeal being on the hunt of the
school fund, and the inquiry having been
suggested to it by the LEDGER, as to
whether $50, GOO, rumored to be in the
city, belonged to that fund, replied that
it did not, but existed in the shape OF
certain claims in the hands of a law firm
here, which represented, not the school
fund, but a like amount of additional de-
falcation for taxes collected, and depos-
tied with the Tennessee National Bank.
And, touching the $1,000, the Appeal
acquitted the officials of the State. Thus
it appears that eur nsighbor was fully
advised. We then asked how it
happens that the officials are not
to blame for surrendering money of the
State for claims yet to be collected, and
who is to blame? For this purpose we
have asked variety of questions, which
may have been regarded as incompetent,
because leading. But as our neighbor is
Trustworthy, there could be no material
objection in all that, after all. He now
comes out with a last word" and proves
q mum witness. If he knew nothing he
should have kept off the witness stand.
Adieu. We wish him well.

We understand that Messrs. Merri-

to-day commence making the permanent
location, ,5oa;;oH ofs this road. 1t will deviate but
very little from the air line already sur
veyed, which fortunately is the cheapest
as well as practicable route. No doubt
remains of the completion of this in
valuable enterprise, which is to benefit
Memphis, enhance the value of all the
property along its whole line, and pro-
mote the convenience of all concerned.
The devotion of capital and the proceeds
of industry to such objects, instead OF
the purchase of negroes, as in former
times, will be of incalculsble advantage

bat few months in operation, very
manifest good has already been accom-
plished. IL there are among the unfor-
tunate Of our city those who love their
children too we'll to wish them to follow
IN the walks Of life and the practices
which have been the cause Of their own
distrssses, let them look in and see what
these teachers are doing, and DO all pos
sible TO aid them 10 turn the faces Of
their children in the right direction.
There are few fathers and fewer mothers
even among those who have sunk into
the depths Of crime, who have not sense
and heart enough to desire that their
offspring should escape the degradation
and miseries and penalties, which, by
actual experience, they know so we'll that
vice and crime bring in their train. He
Is monster, and not human, who seeks
not the good Of his child. And, to do the
very worst full justice, we do not believe
that among the shrewd and Intelligent of
our race there is one in thousand, even
of those who disregard oil law them
selves, so UNANIMOUSLY base as that. 1t is
possible to be both criminal and man.
But he who loves not his own offspring
enough to be glad when the benevolent
come to direct it in the way of virtue, is
a monster and no man. This work OF
charity can be opposed only by the very
fewest We may reasonably look for the
encouragement Of all. And as for our
better class of citizens, we should say
there would be only one limit TO the aid
they will give this laudable enterprise.
And that is what may be required to
support and render it efficient and COM
plets. As means to good order and the
prosperity of a people, religion and
moral culture is cheaper as well as
better remedy than jails and penitentia-
ries. This enterprise, if properly en-
couraged, will do boundlsss good. And
the thanks of the whole public are due to
those who so unselfshly are engaged in
it. We look to it with hope, as inaugu-
rating valuable results, affecting the vel
fare of all classes, whether rich or poor.
