On our fourth page we publish a list OF
the delegates elected at the ward meet
iugs last night. These meetings we're
we'll attended, aud the proceedings were
marked by dignity, 6rmness and due
deliberation. Every precaution was
taken TO prevent irregularities in voting.
In every instance the vote was taken by
ballot, in accordance with the programme
laid down by tn, Executive Committee.
Il viii be seen that the delegates elected
are we'll known representative msn,
capable Of rising above every considera-
ton except the welfare of Memphis; and
when assembled in Convention to.mor-
row they will, no doubt, act wisely, and
make nominations that will command
the support of good and true men from
every class of our people.
The Radicals are nearly two thousand
strong, and they are watching this CON-
motion with the greatest eagerness,
hoping and praying for some disFgfee-
ment to occur in our ranks that will in
creaso their chances Of running in one
Of their number. We only hepe that they
will be as badly disappointed this time IS
they were at the convention last week
whom Mr.. Woodruff was nominated. Of
course the convention will Set adjourn
this time without knowing that the NOM
inee will accep. and run.
Thus Car the excellent rules for the
canYass made out by the Executive Com
mittes have been observed, not only in
the ward meetings but at the convention,
and we presume the programme for to-
morrow will likewise be adopted almost
unanimously. 1t is as follows:
|. The Convention to meet at the Law
Courtroom, Thrrsday, at II o'clock M,
the 30.h inst, to nomiuate candidate
for Mayor.
2. The Chairman of the Executive
Committee to call the Convention TO
order
3 The appointment of temporary
Chairman and Secretary.
A Appointment of a Committee on
Credentials.
s. Permanent organization.

that the Convention adopt the time-hon-
ored rule, requiring two thirds vote
to elect. I. 81. LoGwooD, Ch'mn.

Yesterday youth OF sixteen or seven
teen, named Henry NJ. Hampton, who
clerks at the steamboat Office Of Cap tain
Larry Harvested, went to the DeSoto
Bank on business, and found a one
thousand dollar bill on the side desk
No one saw him pick It up, but he
promptly reported the fact 10 the cashier
at the desk. The cashier told him that
the clerk of ,be steamer St. Joseph, Mr..
John Lyle, had just drawn twenty thou
sand dollars out Of the bank, and had
probably lost the thousand dollar bill
Young Hampton hurried off to fad the
clork. bat, failing in this, left the bill
with the clerk of the ST.. Louis Packet
Company for him, taking receipt for
the sane.
Shortly afterward the clerk sppeare'
at the bank in state of excitement, + .ut
appeared greatly relieved whom told tina,
boy had found Thousand dollor bill,
and was looking for him. Whe1 be 90,
20 Capt. Harmstsd's Office he lad col
lected bis wits, aud demanded she money
as cody as if somebody owed him thou
sand dollars. When tie honesty of the
boy was alluded TO he said be didn't know
as it was so very honest after all-this in
the face OF the fact that the boy picked
up the bill unobserved, and could have
put it in his pocket without anyone no.
iicing the act. The boy was not even
thanked for hia trouble.

CANT as the man we read of once who lost
