PLANTERS CONVENTION.
Report of the Committee of Arrange.
ments ON the Chinese.
MEMPHIS, TENN, July /. 1st

mEhPHlbs IENNss q uiy - ioVss
The undersigned, appointed by meet
ing of citizens to make arrangements Tor
a convention of planters and others, to be
holden on Tuesday, the 18th instant, for
the purpose of considering the matter OF
Introducing Chinese labor for agricul-
tural and ether purposes, submit to their
felIow-citizens the following suggestions:
1t is not our purpose to argue the me-
cessity of more laborers. That we take
as foregone conclusion; every man OF
sense and observation can see and feel
it. 1t is q fact More labor we want
more labor WE MUST HAVE. That point
conceded, our next duty is to ascertain
and discuss the ways and means for pro-
curing such labor. Our necessities are
pressing and immediate; hence we must
look to source of supply which even
under our demand will prove inexhaust-
ible. That source Ne believe to be China.
That empire, overwhelmed with popu-
lation trained TO obedience, economy and
industry, can aud will supply us, we
think, at once. These people, we under
stand, require but one argument to In
duce them to come, to-wit: The certainty
of lettering their condition by receiving
wages for their labor; that we are ready
aud willing to give. Consequently no dit
fculty caR occur, nor is any persuasion
necessary. Another point: the empire
of China extends within the limits OF the
tropics, where in the valleys Of her great
rivers, rice, sugar, tobacco and all other
products flourish as they do with u.s.
And il is well known that where rice and
sugar grow the climate must be unfriend-
" 10 the white men who labor in the sun.
1t is so here, and it is the same there
therefore, the Chinsman comes to Us dc-
handicapped to withstand mala-
rial attacks in our river bottoms and al
luvial lands.
We are authoritatively informed that
on the 18th of July next merchant from
San Francisco will visit this city with the
object of ascertaining our wants and re-
quirements in this behalf, and who is re-
sponsible and able to comply with all his
contracts. We. therefore, earnestly urge
every planter who is interested in this
business-snd who is not f-to come for
ward and meet with US on the day speci-
fed, then and there dispsssionately to
consider the whole matter in detail.
Each and every one should remember
that noso is the time to prepare for the
coming season. The railroad companies
have agreed to grant return tickets free
TO all who may attend the convention.

msree III making Mehphis L tobacco
market rifalinE the beat in the country.
Dyer and Obion counties, and the vest
ern counties of Kentucky I'd be pene-
trated by the Mississippi road, are hesvy
tobacco growing counties--Dyer county
alone. in 1860, growing about six hum
bred hogaheads. Inquiry was started In
our Chamber of Commerce last Monday,
in regard to the inauguration OF to-
bacco market in Memphis. The way TO
secure this most desirable addition to
our city's trade ia to push forward the
Mississippi river road to early compile
ton. We will have tobacco market,
then, perpetually.
We need not dwell on the Importance
of this road to Memphis in regaining the
great travel of the Northwest seeking the
South, which so long has swept around
us by the Mobile and Ohio railroad, fifty
miles to the East. We will gain and keep
forever through Memphis nearly all the
North and South travel of the Mississippi
Valley, as soen as the Mississippi River
railroad reaches Cairo, its chartered ter
minus.
Have we not occasion, then, to rejoice
in Mr.. Mitchells success? Have We not
all reason to sustain him with generous
support, who has shown himself so skill
full and able ia sustaining himself in the
great work he undertook to do for our
city2 Let it always be remembered to
the credit of the Shelby county Commits
sioners, that they were the first to back
the Mississippi River road by a hearty
support, which gave it the prestige OF
success now so nearly realized.

Earthauake.

Two or three severe shocks of an earth
quake we're felt this morning, just after
two o'clock. 1t was so heavy that the
clock in the LEDGER composing room was
stopped. This morning the printers
found the hands standing at two o'clock
and nine minutes am. Many people
were aroused in their beds, and all unite
in describing this as the heaviest series
of shocks they ever experienced. An
interval of about one minute elapsed
between the two principal shocks. Some
people we're so alarmed that they ran out
of doors and remaaed in the open cir all
night We have seen hundreds of people
who felt the shock. Some say there were
three shocks, and others say there were
only two, and some who are very sleepy
headed say there was but one. Houses
shook fearfully, and windows ratified as
though mere toys before the wind. We
heard of one gentleman who rolled out OF
bed, but this may have been from some
other cause. We were at Forest Hill,
on the Memphis and Charleston rail-
road, last night, aud returned on
the early train. Nothing was heard
of the earthquake in that direction.
though the people may have a way of
sleeping sounder in the country than they
do in the city. Whether the earthquake
purely belonged to the city (said to be
built over lake, or was general we have
no means of ascertaining.

HOLT. ONE OF THE MURIJERERs

Holt, the Judge Advocate Of ihe COURT
martial which murdered Mrs. Surratt, is
now pursuing with bloodhound ferociiy
the wronged relatives Of this unfortunate
lady. Mics surratt was married few
days since to an hospital teward, whose
name was Toney. As soon as the fact
was made known at the War Department
the man was dismissed from his Office.

A meeting Of the prominent liqtof
dealers Of Nashville was held last Tues-
day night, and the following resolutions
we're adopted: a. aa.- w
WHEREAS. The present State. county
and city tax upon liquor dealers is so
exorbitant as to amount, if continued, to
an absolute prohibition of the sale of
spirituous liquors, said law being unequal
in it's burdens and unjust in its exactions,
and as such violative Of the spirit il not
the letter Of the constitution; therefore,
BE IL rssolped, That justice, equity
and self-defense require of the liquor
dealers of this county, and indeed OF the
whole State, that they. should at once
take steps to procure the repeal Of the
odious and onerous exactions of the
tax laws SO far as they apply to liquor
dealers.
Resolped further, That, to accom-
plish the end desired, the liquor dealers
throughout the State should unite and
organize for the purpose of securing the
election to the Legislature of candidates
pledged to the repeal of the onerous tax
laws above referred to.
Resolped further, That an Executive
Committee Of FIVE persons be appointed
by the chairman of this meeting to take
such steps as they may deem proper to
accomplish an efficient organization of
the liquor dealers in this county and to
unite and correspond with similar or
ganizationsin other counties. 8H x

Dispatches to the Southwestern Press
Association.
WASHINGTON.

WAsHISGTeN, July 2.--Ex-President
johnson was serenaded last night, at the
Metropolitan Hotel He made speech
returning thanks for the welcome he bad
received. He said the time would come,
and that ere long, when the American
people will be aroused to the Importance
of preserving the great principles which
had been oversighted and trampled under
foot so long. He believed CLEAN of
the morning of redemption could now be
seen, and that the time was coming when
the constitution of our fathers would be
restored. he spoke of a usurping aud
tyrannical Congress, which dominated
over the Judicial Department of the Gov
eminent and attempted to absorb all the
powers of the President, and stood with
the mailed heel of power on the necks of
all freemen in the United States. II he
was compelld to take his choice-which,'
thank God, he was not-he would take
an individual who was honest, wise,
patriotic and just as his ruler or master
in preference to the Congress so usurp-
ing, cspricious and corrupt. Already
feelers had been sent out to develop the
sentiment of the country on the question
of an Empire. A paper printed in New
York had on its title page the Empire is
peace, and on the other side let us have
peace; the meaning of this was, let us
have the Empire with Grant at its
head, and we shall have peace; but
you will find lurking behind this debt
of twenty FIVE hundred million dollars.
The greatest fear is, the people are not to
be trusted, and hence we must have a
strong government, with an army at our
backs, and when the people become res
tive as to payment of taxes, they are to
be compelled to do so at the point of the
bayonet.
Mr.. johnson alluded to the deprecia-
ton of the currency and of the measures
looking to its repudiatiop,as advanced in
Congress; of the Disappearance of slav'
cry and its re-appearauce in the shape Of
Government stocks, and OF the bonds
locked up in the vaults and their rotten
ing and eating into the vitals Of the
country, instead of the capital they
represent being used to develop the ma
terial interest of the nation. he said we
had second Washington, and he would
like to see what kind of an animal he
was. He was feared be was as little like
the first Washington as was Diogenes
version, in the shape of goose stripped
of its plumage, and of Peiatter's defini-
ton of o man-an animal with two legs
and without feathers. Again retHrning
to the Constitution, the speaker expressed
his determination to cling to it as a pal
ladium of our civil and religious liberty,
saying: 1.-THE American people have
high and noble duties to perform. Let
us not falter. The day is not far distant
when they will meet under mere auspi-
cious circumstances than now" He was
much applauded.
