FROM MEMPHIS,

At the meeting held in Memphis Mon
day night, at which delegates were ap-
pointed to a convention to nominate can
didates for Supreme Judge, it was re-
solved that, should the proposed conven-
ton at Nashville be not held, that the
delegates from Shelby meet at Humboldt
and nominate candidates for the Western
district provided a majority of the coun-
ties in West Tennessee be represented
there.
From the present indications in Middle
and East Tennessee, We are induced to
believe that there will be reasonably full
representation here from those divisions
of the State on the second Monday in July.
1t is therefore to be hoped that all the
delegates from West Tennessee will be in
ATTENDANCE. Even if it should be determ-
incd not TO nominate candidates in other
divisions Of the State, the delegates from
West Tennessee can nominate their candi
dates here as well as at Humboldt We
hope they will be present in full force.

GEN. BUTLER, who has continually been
at the head of some committee, investi-
eating somebody, is, at last, himself the
subject of investigation, as Treasurer and
President of the National Soldiers and
Sailors Orphans Home. He appeared
before the House Military Committee as a
witness. That committee having been
directed to thoroughly investigate that in
stitutiOn, he made statement of the way
he had received and discussed the funds,
which the committee did not appear to be
satisfied with, and, therefore, decided to
send for persons and papers. 1t seems
that Butler got bill passed turning over
the unclaimed bounty fund, draft, COM
mutation fund, etc., to this institution,
which amounted to-over a million and a
quarter of dollars. He recently drew
nearly two-thirds of this amount, and
Congress is determined that he shall show
what he did with it.

r,,E IUoTCraI CONVENTION.

THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION
We publish this morning the proceed
ings of the convention in Maury held to
appoint delegates to State Judicial Con-
vention. Yesterday we published the
proceedings of similar convention In
Summer. We notice in our exchanges
that like conventions have been held or
called in some of the counties of East
and West Tennessee. Some time ago the
bar of West Tennessee in attendance up
on the Supreme Court at jackson recon-
mended the holding Of convention In
this city, on the second Monday in july
for the purpose of nominating candidates
for the Supreme Bench.
We have not hitherto advocated the
holding of such a convention because,
among other reasons, we thought 1t I'm
politie to make nominations until after
Congress had acted upon the pending
bill to remove political disabilities. A
very large proportion of the gentlemen
whose names have been suggested as
candidates for the high position have
never been relieved from the disabilities
imposed by the Fourteenth Amendment.
From the information which we have
received from Washington a nomination
by the proposed State Convention would
probably be the cause Of having the
nominees name stricken from the pend
ing bill. r..
Hence delay seemed to US the dictate OF
sound policy. 1t may be urged that
the postponement of the Convention
later than the second Monday In July
would be equivalent to an aban-
donment of that mode of nomi-
nation, and possibly secure through
the multitude of Conservative candidates
the reelection of the present bench. As
we would do nothing which might oc-
casion such misfortune, and as
many of the counties have appointed
or propose to appoint delegates, we would
suggest and urge that every county
that has not already done SO, appoint dele
gates on the day designated by the bar al
jacksonville second Monday in July
to consider and determine as to the adj
visibility of making nominations The
delegates from the various portions OF the
State, with the lights then before them,
can better determine the proper course to
pursue than we can now advise. The
Convention may decide to make nominal
tons for the whole State; or that the del
egates from the respective divisions shall
act as to each division may seem proper;
or the Convention may determine
not to make any nominations. II
the people are fully represented as
they should be, and the delegates
come, as we presume they will, with the
sole view of promoting the public good,
we shall expect beneficial effects.
We are not of those who think that
nominations should be made without re-
gard 10 the political views ofthe aspirant.
We do not deny the high legal ability OF
some of the membersof the Radical party,
but their views of constitutions, laws and
government are widely different from
those we entertain. We therefore insist
that the same policy which they pursued
in the election of their judicial officers
Shall be wisely followed by US.

CONGRESS-.

A telegram from Washington, dated
June 90, says: Cuisines moves so slow
ly through Congress that come of the
chsirmen of committees expressed the
opinion to-day that the session would have
to be extended beyond the 18th of July.
The new fiscal year commences in ten
days time and only one-half of the ap-
preparation bills are yet enacted into laws.
The principal delay is in the Senate,
where q few men occupied most of the
time in debate. Today, for instance,
nearly all the Senators who spoke last
week on the cheap postage question re-
peated their remarks. The tax and tariff
bills, the whisky and tobacco tax meas
ures, and the funding and currency bills
are the most important ones pending, be-
sides the appropriation bills. "

THE SITUATION.

The Chattanooga Times defines its
views of the situation in the following
article:
We find in the Louisville Courier
Journal, of June II, an editorial upon
the present political situation, which so
nearly accords with the principles we
have advocated for the past four years,
that we do not hesitate to adopt it as our
own. The Courier Journal says that a
genuine ray of dawn, and not de-
msiye flash of Northern lights, seems
to have penetrated the Eastern sky
at last. 1t was significant that The
season was begun by a Democratic
victory in Connecticut and that this was
speedily followed by another Democratic
victory in New York. The day thus
broken in the natural quarter will widen
and expand, and grow brighter as it tray
els westward. Everywhere that the
Democratic party has cut itself lose from
its obsolete prejudices, it has won. The
country wants peace and the Republicans
refuse to give it what it wants. The
people must therefore look TO the Demo-
cracy. There is but one issue and that
is the final settlement of our internal
troubles upon the broad principle of uni
veral amnesty and impartial suffrage.
Under this generous provision
of peace we shall have
right and equal taxes, sound currency,
and truly national spirit. 1t is the de-
liberate resolve of the intelligence of this
country, that no man, white, red, brown
or black, shall be denied his legal, civil or
political rights. On this impartial, nom
proscriptive basis, the party of the future,
which must be the party of peace, will
stand. The Democratic party most
nearly approaches the true ideal. Hence
the cheerful prospect which stretches out
before is, and which will continue to
stretch out before it, increasing in cheer
fulness and extent, as the party realizes IFS
mission of peace through magnanimity and
tolerance towards all mankind. The Re
publican party is losing its hold upon the
people, because as they have progressed
in moderation it haspTogressed in radical
ism. The people are honest, sober and
generous. They desire to persecute no.
body. A proscriptive organization can
not last, and ought not to last, in this
country. Society will settle itself as soon
as our legislation is purged of its class
distinctions, and the leaders who possess
the sagacity to see and the courage to act
on this idea, will succeed TO power and
influence never possessed in human af-
fairs.

NATIONAL BANKS VS.. STATE
BANKS.

The Herald claims that the State
Banking law of New York is the pro-
genitor of the National Currency act,
but insists that the child is not equal to
the parent, being hedged around with
difficulties from which the State law is
free. We know nothing of the New
York law, but we are confident that no
State in the Union has banking law
which is so oppressive TO the people as
the National Bank law. Yet we have
but little hope from the present Congress.
We learn that they have just passed
through the House a bill increasing the
currency to the extent of fifty millions of
dollars-an increase greatly needed, in
deed, by the business of the country,
which could readily absorb and prefitably
use three times the amount. But, in
stead of making the increase in green
backs, which cost nothing, and redeem
ing an equivalent amount of the debt,
which costs ax-payers three millions a
year, the new currency is to be added
to the National Bank circulation.
The tax is ten per cent on State bank
circulation while that of national banks
is only taxed one per cent The only pos
sible defence this action is capable of is
that as a war measure it seemed necessary
to make the whole circulation medium of
the country contribute means 10 carry on
the contest; and msomuch as the boldest
statesman did not presume to deny the
rights of the States to charter their own
banks, the plan of forcing them to CON
tribute to the national finances by taxing
them out of existence was tried. Now
the war is over, let us 20 backto our own
institutions.
1t is always unwise to impose taxes in
an unequal manner, and wherever it is
done a reaction will arise; for nothing is
more true than that the public sympa-
thizes with any interest which seems to
be oppressed. To one of the most glar-
ing inequalities of the taxation of capital
attention is now being called in different
parts of the country. Let Congress en-
act thai there shall lee no greater tax
levied on any Of the franchises of any
State bank than is imposed on the nation
al banks. This is justice, this is equity
and only fair dealing.

perinduce travel to and sojourn In our
midst. There must be attractions combined
with business pursuits to give to the
latter elasticity and vitality. We have
now hotel among the most superb on
the continent. We have wealth almost
unlimited, and we have as refined, cult
waited and appreciative population as
can be found anywhere; population too
that Is amusement-loving, fond of that
sort of amusement that Is eleVeting, in
structivs and refining we mear--to an
eminent degree. Our city is rapidly
growing in population, increasing in the
number of its elegant residences, and ex-
panding In dimensions. To keep pace
with these, we must have an opera
house or place of amusement,
consummate in style and size
with the tastes and demands of the
people. We viii be untrue to ourselves
and to the best interests of the city if
we do not give this matter the proper
attention. Nashville is now without
place of amusement worthy of her.
Really there is neither Opera House.
Theater, Public Park OF. Library In our
city. This is burning shame, and is
the remark of dlsparagement made by
all strangers coming among US. Other
cities see and feel its manifest Importance;
why not we2 The visitors to a city as
well as tho residents must have some
place of amusement for recreation after
they have been busily engaged in
shopping during the day, and
the place of amusement which
Is most pleasing is the theater, where the
performance should be intellectual and
interesting. But if, in place of this, the
management-having no competition
picks up the most worthless actors and
actresses, the visitor is disguised, and
when the next business season arrives, he
seeks some other market for the purchase
of his supplies, with its accompanying
advantages of interesting places of amuse-
ment- This fact was made so apparent
at the North few years ago, that Boston,
fearing to lose the trade of the mer-
chants from the North and West, who
stopped at New York on account of its
superior attractions, built seven theaters
to supply the deficiency.
All the large cities have walked up TO a
realization of the fact that to them there
is no public institution of moro general
importance than first class opera house
or theater. Let US arouse ourselves to
the same fact.
There are number of sites in the city,
at present encountered with mere shanties
that are absolute eye-sores, that are
most eligible for the construction of
such a building To company
who would build it, the institution
would prove remuneratiye from
the start. Besides the large enhance
ment of the property adjoining, the rent
| ais of the store rooms connected with il
would be very heavy. The rentals alone
for the stores and adjuncts of such an
institution would pay liberal interest on
the cost of its erection, to say nothing of
the income accruing from the amusement
department. Let some of our enter
prising friends give this matter their earn
est attention, and let us have an opera
house worthy of our people and our
city.

AN OPERA HOUSE.

There is no public want more strikingly
apparent to the resident, the stranger or
the visitor in our city than that of an
opera house or frst-class place of amuse-
ment Such an institution is an important
and material adjunct to the prosperity
aud tone of growing city, a fact which
has been readily recognized and acted upon
by all the populous cities of the coun-

vigorous and healthful recreation Of our
people at home, and their enlightenment
and culture, such an institution would SUI
