to be the surrender Of the whole
army-not less than one hundred
thousand men; as prisoners of war,
with all their arms, baggage, horses,
standards and guns. a
The officers who sign an agree

the remainder to be sent to the garri-

GERS refuse to sign, preferring to shai q
the captivity of their men. On Satur-
day the whole force laid down their
ar ans.
Not a few soldiers in their rage
broke rather than give up their arms,
and the streets were Uttered with frag-
ments of all kinds of weapons, broken
swords, rifles, pistols, lances, helmets,
cuirrases, and even mitrailleuse, COW

where the Meuse runs through the
town, heaps of such fragments choked

ever liked might have horses. even
officers horses, which were private
property, for the trouble of catching

into the town they were very sore

struction and waste. What must have
pleased them still less was the state
in which they found the military

Havor of Democracy. They are not
tne tangled bundle of crudities and
generalities for which the malcontents
clamored. The abominable doctrine
ofsubmission to accomplished facts"
accomplished violations of the con-

called the Fifteenth Amendment is a
fraud, an outrage and a treason, per-
petuated by conspirators who had no
more legal or moral right to declare it

brigands had to butcher their cap

Of Democrats, allies the Democracy
Of Tennessee with the National De-
mOcracy who have for the last eight
years fought the tyranny of the Radi-
Gals and their despotic ~infractions of
the Constitution with a vigOr, an
earnestness, and a zeal which has
won for them the gratitude and sup
port of every lover of the Con-
stitution. The Convention most
signally rebukes the trimmers and the
mischief makers, and the result is we
have a bold, compact democracy.
For the future, treason to the party
which seeks to make the whole
Union a common brotherhood, be-
comes doubly criminal. None but

THE proceedings of the Democratic
State Convention are so eminently
wise, patriotic and orthodox, that we
cannot resist the temptation to offer a
few comments, IN addition TO those
made yesterday. We repeat the joy
which we feel at the mutual spirit Of
harmony which pervaded the Con-
vention. An the energies Of the
party are now enlisted; minor differ
ences are recOnciled, and we hear the
steady and resistless tramp of the
Democratic legions on their march to
victory. General John c. Brown is
n nominee. It wOHld be like "gild-
ing refined gold, or painting the lily,p
speak of the merits Of our standard
bearer. Prolific as the Radicals are
known to be, in resources Of eaiumny
and detractiOn, they dare not assail
the name of General Brown.
What pleases US most of ali Il

true metal They shine out in the

In these simple facts we find
abundant reason for that pro-
gressive disintegration which distin-
guishes the current fortunes of Radi-

power of public plU1der IS almost the
only operative force that consolidates
the enemies of Democracy. Such an

inevitable as was the Withdrawal

A CITY paper issues an extra in re-
lation to the tragedy at Shelby Depot,
and speaks of it in the sensational
heading, necessary to buy the five
cents, as "anOther duel" Weare I'M
willing to believe the mischief likely
to result from such a proceeding could
have been intended. Have we not
suffered enough, and done enough, to.
drive away immigration and capital
by two duels which we have had,
without adding our own testimony to
the report of another which we have
not had? We would not suppress the
truth. We are willing it should be
spoken, come what will. We think
it is time for an expression of COM
bined pubic sentiment to discounte-
nance violence in all its criminal
forms. Let the laws be executed with
rigor. If they are insufficient, or can
be rendered more efficient, it is the
duty of the Legislature to look to ii,
and then we must enforce them. But
meanwhile, it is but just that only
the crimes committed in our midst
should be laid at our door.

THE Brooklyn Eagle, which has a
habit Of saying good things in the
best possible manner, after calling the
attention Of foreign born residents and
citizens to the duties which their es-
cape from mOnarchial rule, and their

imply, continues:-"While the war

L.L.
IN a Louisville paper we find tele-
graphed from here and placed to the
credit of Memphis, five different
homicides in one day, three Of which
occurred in Mississippi. OF the other
two cases, that in Chelsea was by ne
groes of one another, the result of
freedom, idIeness and whisky. The
other, the cose Of Glassmeyer, is sup
posed to be the effect of jealousy. 1t
is bad enough to bear the discredit
which belongs to US, and which is
quite sufficient. But it is hardly fair
to place to the discredit of this city
the acts of vicious negroes swarming
here, and q~uarreling and fighting
and killing n another under the
lead and encouragement of the carpet
bag officials, in addition to the crimes
of whites, and they mostly transient
corners and goers.
Every case of crime occurring With
in a hundred miles of the city, is
caught up and ~telegraphed com
Memphis, and placed to its discredit
accordingly. We 9sk from our friends
some more careful discrimination in
their statements, and from our enc
mics that they will respect themselves
by withholding injustice. Even now,
while we write, we are panied to learn
that another tragedy must be re-.
corded. Eighteen miles from this
city, on the Louisville railroad, two
young men shot each other with mu-
tually fatal effect. Must we bear the
shame of this also? Are the causes of
decentralization and the fruits of the
war never 10 cease? Fortunately it
is among the violent, and not among
prudent and peaceful men that these
ofTenses occur. Such as these have no
sense Of insecurity, and no sympathy
with or quarter to give to offenders.
Their unanimous voice is that the
shall be executed.

THE more candid and sensible Re
publican journals ofthe north are now
beginning to see plainly from the re-
suit of the North Carolina elections
and other indications, and to admit
that a change of tactics IS necessary
to success, that the votes of the peO-
pie cannot be secured by force,
that in the political field they must
''stOop to conquer" The New York
Times thus unequivocally speaks on
this subject:
"0ur party managers, in their deal
iDgs with the South, should now recOg-
nizs the fact that their success in that
section will h-enceforward depend upon
the good will of the people. Victory
must be secured at the ba-lot-box, if at
all. Federal bsyonets are as much out
of place there as they would be in New
York ; and the idea of seeking afresh
Congressional assistance must be dis
carded for ever. When these features of
the case shall be Iully comprehended by
Republican leaders IN these latitudes.
the wisdom of the warning that comes
from the organ of Virginia Republicans
will be practically acknowledged"

hundred guests. There are five great
hotels and ample accommodations flor
one hundred thousand strangers.
Special trains will crowd the railways,
and premiums, besides those offered
by individuals and associations,
amount to $4,000. Railways con-
verging at Atlanta charge half fare,
and the exhibition will be perhaps
the grandest of the kind ever pre-

Why should Atlanta, in a matter of
this sort, surpass Memphis in any de-
partment of mechanical, artistic or
agricultural excellence? We have
the advantage in numbers, in manu-
factories, in the richest fields and gar
dens on which the sun shines in
circuit of the globe. Why not draw
two hundred thousand people to
Memphis? What IS wanting?
