This distinguished citizen Of Clarks
vile is now in Memphis, and Will remair
here day or two. He is lawyer o
the very highest attainments, a politician
of the purest record a most genial and
excellent gentleman, and patriot who
stood in the battles front when the breasts
Of her sons were their conntry's ram
mart He bears the witness Of the
dangers he had passd in his hand
which hung in the way of some unerrinp
marksman and formed his target The
Appeal of this morning pays him the fol
lowing neat and elegant compliment
true, every word;
"As citizen without reproach, as a
soldier whose honor Is as stainless as his
lineage. we greet him in the name Of the
people Of Memphis, II is most fit that he,
so true representative OF the highest
type Of Southern manhood, should re-
ceive the hearty greetings of people he
has served so faithfully"
We, too, have heard the name of Gen.
Quarles repeatedly mentioned in connec-
ton with the gubernatorial chalr--a
station that he would ominently adorn,
and which he well merits at the hands OF
his fellow citizens, whose interests he is
at all times ready to subserye, and whose
rights he went intot the ranks of battle to
defend and protect. In the trio whose
names have been used in this connection
he does not stand one whit behind those
popular favorites, Gems. VIM. b. Bate
and John c. Brown. 1t is most signih-
cant that the Democracy have such a
field from which to draw their candidates.
Who in all the Radical ranks can be men
toned in the same breath with either of
them? Whosoever shall be designated
will be sure to wear the yietors wreath,
for will he not lead our serried hosts to
glorious triumph Should it devolve
on General Quarles, we shall be proud
Of our Executive, who, in the language Of
another, ito the most complete know
edge of the interests and resources of
his native State, adds the most extensive
sxperince in public affairs" We trust
hat his stay among us, though neces-
,arily brief and in the discharge Of busi-
aess duties, may be made as agreeable
rs the most cordial friendships and I'M
pounded Inequalities can devise.

NAsnvlLLE, June 2,-Gentlemeut |
have seen in the newspapers your public
request that l should Announce myself a
candidate for Congress IN this district.
That request have considered, in con-
nection with many urgent personal sol
icitations TO the same effect. lam CRATE
| full for these kind illusions to my former
public services, and proud Of the conf
dence which they imply. To serve in
any puclc capacity the old friends and
constituents Of my early manhood would
be a pleasant duty; and TO be again
called to the protection of their
interests and the vindication of
their liberties in that forum where,
alone, the great battle of Consti-
tutional freedom must be fought, is an
honor of which any patriot might be
proud. II is to the House of Represen-
tatives that we mist mainly look for that
revolution in public opinion which alone
can save us from the usurpations of cen
tralized power. The Senate is almost as
independent of public opinion as was the
House of Lords in the time of the Stuarts.
The House of Representatives, however,
is still biennially responsible to the peo-
pie; it still controls taxation, and may
give or withhold supplies; TO the House,
must we look for those reforms
which alone can save us from the evils
of centralized despotism.
Less than three years ago was chosen
to lead forlorn hope in congressional
in this district 1t was an une-
quail contest with an INSCRIPTIONS des-
potism. The great body OF the citizens
Of the district were disfranchised and
driven from the polls by an irresponsible
military power. At last our people have
been permitted TO regain their liberties.
And, now that all are once more free, l
frankly confess that | should be gratified
BY that vindication which will be afforded
BY an election in a district where, three
years ago, my friends were DISTINGUISHED.
| authorize you to announce me as a
and do not think it can be re-
sarded premature, as other gentlemen

RoME, June 4.-The debate on infalli
bility continues vigorously. The opposi
ton are still stubborn against the over
whelming odds, and seem to be reserving
their strength for the final assault, the
near approach of which revives them fol
the affray, aud exciting scenes are pre-
dicted. Yesterday Monsigneur Darboy
declared the question of infallibility
to be violent and irregular, and charac-
terized its champions for springing the
scheme upon the Council, asking them if
the declarations of bishops and episco-
pacy were to be overridden Cardinal
Manning denied the prematurity of tile
introduction, and said it was necessary
for the interests Of the Church.
The great powers are anxiously watch
ing developments in the infallibility
question through their diplomatic repre-
sentatives. The Prussian Government
informs Antonelli that if any proceed
ings of the Council cause difficulties be-
tween the Government and clergy, the
Government viii forbid any official in
tercourse between the clergy and the
Holy See.

WASHINGTON.
The Dominican Commissioners nm 4
UnderhandDeaI binetMeet-

WASHINGTON, June 4.--The charges Of
underhand dealing on the part of the
Dominican commissioners is something
over which the President has no control
and with which he cannot be connected
in any way; as the President himself
stated, in conversation, that under the
provisions of the treaty no grants or
rights can be ceded away, and if after
the Senate shall have ratified the treaty,
Of which it now seems in fair prospect,
any such grants or concessions made in
signing the convention, on the 29th of
November, shall be discovered, they will
be treated as null and void by the United
States Government No respect, what
ever, will be paid to grants clashing
with the provisions. So scheming
grantees will find themselves in no way
benefited by their plottings. Surprising
even Baez or his Ministers made large
secret concessions to private spectators
since the execution Of the convention
last November, they cannot be used as
sound argument against the ratification
of the treaty.
There was a full attendance at the
Cabinet meeting yesterday SamaRa
Bay and San Domingo matters were un-
der consideration. 1t is understood the
Cabinet was unanimous in urging on the
Senate the adoption of the treaty.
The President announced his inten-
ton TO be absent from the city few
days next week.
