PTRs0SEL OF THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION
Visitors to the Convention unite in the
opinion that it would he difficult to get to-
gcther finer looking or more intellectual
body Of men. The delegates number little,
if any, less than thousand, and represent
nearly every financial. commercial, manu-
featuring, and agricultural interest. Poll
ticians there are, too; but politics are
utterly ignored. The common good of the
county is the thing uppermost in their de-
alterations and Proceedings. In former
years commercial conventions were some
what political in character, but in this there
is nothing of the kind. Most of the dele
gates are young men or in the prime of life,
and are active, energetic, and progressive.
Mr.. Isaacs, tall, sedate-!ooking gentle
man of about fifty years, is prominent in
the Virginia delegation. He is leading
banker Of Richmond. Colonel Lamb, Of this
delegation, is famous as the commander of
Fort Fisher, where he defeated General
Butler when that worthy cndcavored to
blow him into the middle of next week
with powder ships. The fort was finally
captured by General Terry, when Colonel
Lamb was dangerously wounded, from the
effects of which he is now lame. Memphis

FROM GEoRG1A.--A Washin gton telegram

FROM GEoRG1A.--A Washin gton telegram
in the New York Tribune says,
ga legal gentleman of this city, who has
recently been TO Georgia on business, and
while there was in close professional rea-
tons with Toombs, Stephens, Ben Hill, and
other rebel leaders, declares that these men,
and the great body Of the whites are, so far
as Georgia is concerned, more bitterly hos
tile toward the Government and loyal States
than ever, if that be possible. The spirit of
violence rcigns supreme, though now mani
testing itself entirely in acts such as the re-
cent aSSasSinations, and not in mobs and
riots, as was the case last fall So bitter is
this hostile spirit that the gentleman refer
red to, who was till recently high legal
officer of the Government, believes that, in
the event Of Il foreign war, a large ma iority
of the Georgia whites would not hesitate to
Join the enemy, if there should be an at
tempt to invade the country. lie regards
the feeling rs one of bitter, blind, implaca-
BILE hatred to the Republic, which would
not stop at any means to crafty ITSELF
Admitting this statement to be true, what
are we to think of that "free government
which holds an unwilling rule over such
mcn?

count it over agnin. which he did, aud
found that it amounted to f1Hr hundred
Instead of two hundred. Now, II. is a

one not to have bit of fun out of tho
new officials So he hhrri"d back t"
the po,tolficc and with luguGrirus conn

thus addressed himself 10 Deputy See

General Henry Grey, of Bienrille,
vas suhpenaed to give testimony before
the Congressional Committee now sit
ting in this city to Investigate tac facts
of,he last election. From what We hear
the Generals testimony was Of very
unsatisfactory character. lie was asked
the cause of tho small vote for Gen.
Grant in his parish, only Two votes be-
ing received for the ralical electors.
The General am wered that, as far as
ho could learn from the negroes, the
reason they would not come to the polls
and vote was because the Provost Mar
shal, who came to the parish as radl-
cal organizer, had promised, if they
would vote the radical ticket III the
State election, to give c,ch Of them for
ty acres Of good land, a mule, pillow, hoe,
uxe, und set them up in the world. This
promise had not been kept, and, there
fore, the negroes would not turn out to
vot. for the nominees Of the party in the
November election.
Ouestion-Who told you this vas the
reason
Auswcr-About 500 of the negroes
themselves.
Odestion-Can you give the names Of
any Of these?
Answ,r-Yes; Jerry, jim, Bob, Big
Bill, squin,. ,.cycd Joe, Bow legged Tom,
Gorge
Mr.. Steyenson.-That will do. Please
give us their surnamcs.
Answcr-Thry never Lad any at
least. | never knew them by such.
Qucstion-IIavc yon not been pro-
mincnt politician III this State
Tcr--No.
Question Were you not mcmbcr OF
to Legislature?
Answcr-Yos; but was never proml,
ncnt.
Qursrion-Wcrc you not nominated
for the United States Senate in opposl.
tion to 'r. Brnjlmin?
Answcr-Ycs; Il was voted for.
Ouc.riun-D.d hot tins show that
you were prominent politician
Answcr1No; 1t only showed that |
had somr popularity ; not that | was the
proper man For the right place, any more
than the votes received by Gen. Grant
proved that he WAS ct to be President
of the tnitel States.
"Yuu can sit down, sir"
Thcreupon the General retired. after
haring been brought down all the 'Say
rroin :hc bnr,lcrs Of Texas to give testi-
mony before the committee.
