A Washington dispatch of the
10th inst, noticing the arrival of a
Republican delegation from North
Carolina, adds the following:
Notwithstanding that the Dem
ocratic majority in North Carolina
is estimated at $4,000, and will
probably reach 10000, these wor-
thies propose to contest the cleo
ton Of four or five members elect
on the ground of intimidation so
successfully carried out in favor
of the majority candidates in the
last session in the Louisiana cases.
The New Orleans Times, "a pa
per quoted here for its authority
with Conservatives and on account
of the Republican associations of
it's publisher, Mr.. Weed referrin 6
to the tactics ofthe North Carolina
Republicans as indicated above,
says: - =
OF course, this will be done, not
only in North Carolina, but in
every other. State where the Radi-
calls suffer a defeat. They intend
to hold on to Southern representa-
ton, and through that the central
| government, at all hazards, within
I the pale Of law as long as possible,
and without it when it may be-
come necessary. From the way
elections are inaugurated this fall,
they seem to he mere jocular mat
ers Of form. No man can be
elected over a Radical, except
through a mistake, and that will
be rectified by Congress.
] The NewY ork World announces,
with singular fidelity to fact, that
the battle for the rights Of the
South is to b. fought in the
| Northern States.
! With Radicals for Governors in
the Southern States, and with a
Radical clerk empowered to Or
ganize the House of Representa-
tives-the first to give Congress
men their certificates, and the
second topass upon their sufticien-
Ecy-what rejecting student of
I political history and Radical ethics
can doubt the result of an issue
as to the complexion, Of the next
House, unless the Northern States
send to Washington a clear ma
! .jority of Democrats : If that
majority be Republican, the tao
tics of the North Carolina Repub-
licans will prevail, until two-thirds
OF the House are found to be
straight-out Radicals. If Demo-
cratic, the people of the South
| may rely upon having their best
men admitted, if elected. Our
main business is to sec that s.
peaceable canvass is had and a
fair election held. Even then, as
in 1868, scores of witnesses may
be found to swear the Democrats
used violence and intimidation,
and the House, if Republican, will
believe them.

VICTORY, Or DEFEAT.

the Democratic party depends
momentous issues. During the
next few weeks the battle for
that party will be either won or
lost, without formal decision at
the ballot box in November. The
appearances at present forbode
evil consequences to the Democ-
racy, on account of discussions
among its own members. We
ask to be heard in behalf of har-
mony and success. 'sa
Let Democrats reflect long and
we'll what it is they have at stake.
It is not simply party success we
are. to fight for, as i'll days past,
but 6 for the repeal of ubiquitous
laws, for the more honest and
economical administration Of the
State govern ment, for the pacifi-
cation of society. and against the
dire calamity of Q prolongation
for two years of the rule of a most
corrupt and irresponsible faction.
There are laws upon our statute
book that are q disgrace to any
age-the treasury is bankrupt and
Q grievous debt saddled upon the
people-society is unsettled, fever
ish and partly disorganized-and
before us is the dreaded contin-
gency of oppressive Radical rule.
What citizen is there who has no
interest in Democratic reform7
But our leaders must be wise
aud prudent, careful and not over
bearing. The common enemy. the
Radicals, are well-organized, pow
erful and INSCRIPTIONS, and arm
ed with laws threatening even to
success. While they are maneuver-
ing their own forces, they are in
dustriously encouraging sedition
and Reorganization. among the
Democracy. In addition to this,
there is class of our best citizens
standing back with arms folded,
calling themselves Conservatives,
who charge that the Democratic
party is corrupt, clique-ridden and
unsound. The party itself is in
such q condition that if it's affairs
are imprudently managed, many
good men are likely to become
Mkewarm, and disposed to abs tain
from that active participation in
the election which is so necessary
ON the part of every good citizen,
to overthrow the Republican party.
1t is with such embarrassment
as these that the Democratic party
finds itself surrounded, and to re-
move which great skill is necessa-
ry. It will not do for leaders of
the party to affect indifference
for the wishes and views Of the
most humble voter belonging to
it, or to forget that great parties
are only great and strong because
their principles and their candi-
dates enlist the support and SYM
pathy OF the masses. Let, there
fore, the Conventions of the party
deliberate we'll upon their se1ec-
tions, and endeavor to soothe all
bitterness and harmonize all diff
fercnces.. In many of the parishes
public meetings have been held
where there was a lack of harmony
and where disintegration is seri-
ously threatened. To go into the
canvass in this condition would be
futile. Now, while there is time
these differences should be adjust
ed, and where men, or personal
animosities are the causes of diff
ference, men or personal animosi-
ties should give way. Let nomi-
nations be made only after al
thorough canvass and a fair set

Saturdays Convention--Strange
Proceedings. y

proceedings of the Democratic
Parish Convention which met here
on Saturday last, as published to-
day on our first page, that MI.
McCranie, late member of Con-
gress elect from this district, failed
to obtain the endorsement of this
(his) parish for a denomination
by the Convention called to meet
here on the Dist proximo. 1t is
Incumbent upon us to explain
how this result was obtained.
In undisguised terms the issue
before the Convention, was wheth-
or or not the Democrats of the
parish of Ouachita would instruct
their delegates to support Mr..
ceramic, one of their own citi-
zens, for a denomination for the
unexpired portion of his own term
in the 41st Congress, and also for
the full term in the 42nd Congress.
The parish is composed of sew
en- precincts, having altogether
~ votes, in four Of which, with 20
votes, the triends,of Mr.. McCranie
were understood to have prevail
ed, his opponents carrying two.
louisville and the Island, with
an aggregate vote of IL, one pre-
cinct with 2 votes not being rep
resented on Saturday.
But the organization of the Con-
iyention fell into the hands of Mr..
Nc Ceramics opponents, Judge T.
G. Scarborough, who was selected
permanent President, not being
friendly to tho denomination of
Mr.. McCranie, because of his elm
eligibility
When the President and the
precinct delegations had selected
the delegates for the Congressional
Convention, it was believed that
a majority we're opposed to Mr..
Mechanics denomination. DR..
d. O. Brown thereupon introduced
the preamble and resolution to be
found among the proceedings, ex-
pressing the conviction of the De-
1nocracy of the parish, that to
vindicate the part taken by the
party in this district in the cleo
ton of 1868, the same gentleman
should be returned for both terms.
It was objected by Col. Richard
son that this was instructing the
delegates to support Mr.. McCra-
ME, and he moved that the reso-
luton be so amended as to leave
the delegates uninstructed.
Considerable discussion had pre-
viously arisen upon a kindred
movement made by Mr.. j. ID. Nc
Emery, in the shape of a substi-
tute instructing the delegation to
support no candidate who could
not subscribe to the oath required,
(Which substitute was withdrawn
the discussion being participated
in by Mr.. j. d. McEnery in sup.
port of the substitute, and Mr.. S
d. McEnery in opposition, and by
Mr.. Mechanic in explanation OF
the history of the Louisiana con-
tests and to enforce the. idea that
the question of eligibility was not
material, as was shown by those
contests and by other presidents
cited by him.
The chair decided that the vote
upon the motion made to lay Col.
Richardson's motion upon the
table would be taken by precincts.
The result of the vote was oppos-
ed to laying the amendment on
the table, 30 votes; in favor, 10
votes. For vote by precincts, see
proceedings.)

lieved they had elected a majority

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Were Acts, Done by Confederate NOtarIes
j GPablle, POstmasters and Mail
Carriers Legal7

From the Huntsville tAla) Democrat, 2Ist1
On Thursday last, in the case of a
bill or petition filed in the United
States District Court by Isham j.
Fennel, in opposition to the discharge
of Thos. S. McCaIley in bankruptcy,
and presenting a claim for some $I5,-
Geo, being a bill of exchange drawn by
B.. I. Moore on Bradley, Wilson d Co.,
at New Orleans, La, and Endorsed
by McCalley, the bill of exchange
having been protested by a New Or
leans Notary Public, for n~On-accept-
anee in October, 1861, and for Eon-
payment in January, 1862, a question
arose as to the legality in a u. s.
Court of said protests by an officer of
a seeded State and the transmission
of notices of protests 10 McCaliey by
a Confederate mail and pOstmasters.
Judge Busted decided, on the au-
thority of ThOringtOn VS.. HALEY, that
acts done by persons in States which
were in antagonism to the United
States Government, if regular and au-
thorized by the power reQn0Ht, must
be recognized as legal, provided those
acts were not done in aid of the rebel
lion. He said that the notary public,
the poStmasters and mail carriers in
question were regular and au-
thOriZed by the power regnGlt,
and their acts in the premises did
not, in any manner, affect the%ues
between the Government of the
United States and the Confederate
States-that the capture of New Or
leans by Farragut was not expedited
a minute or delayed an hour by those
acts. He concluded that the officers
in question, and their acts, were legal,
so far as regards the matter involved
in the present issue, and he, there
fore, admitted the evidence.

THE NEW STATE OFFICERS.
Secretary Of State Butler, Comptroller
Pennebaker, and Treasurer Morrow.

.
The Union and american of Tuesday
says the elections, which have Occu-
pied for several days almost the entire
time of the Legislature, terminated
yesterday afternoon. The successful
candidates, although comparatively
unknown in public life, are, we are
assured, gentlemen who stand well IN
their several communities, of ire
proachable private character, of BUSH
ness habits and qualifications, and
will make efficient and acceptable
officers Of State.
The Secretary of State elect, Mr..
Thomas ii. Butler, is a native of Jack
son county, where he now resides and
of which he has been for a numher al
years the Circuit Court Clerk. He Is
about fifty years of age and comes
with the highest recommendation
from the bar and people of his section
of country.
Nj. Ed. R. Pennebaker, Comp
troller, although a resident of Wilson
county, has been so long and init
mately connected with the business
of Nashville that he is considered one
of us. OF great personal popularity,
an energetic business man, he will
doubles realize in his official capac-
ity the Expectations of his friends.
DIR. William Morrow, who was
elected Treasurer, is the youngest of
the three officers. He is a resident of
Knoxville, the son of Robert Morrow,
of Campbell county, and son-in-law
of Senator Luttreil, OF Knox. Previ-
Gus to the war he was engaged in
banking in Knoxville, with his uncle
Sam. Morrow. His duties in that
business eminently fitted him for his
present position. During the war he
was a surgeon in the Confederate
army. He has the confidence and es-
TEEN Of those who know him, and it
is believed he viii discharge the du-
ties of his office to the satisfaction of
the people and to the creditan honor
of the State and himself.

FISK, GOULD 8 co.
A Grand COup--Wan Street ia a Huff---Iim
Fisk Triumphant.

New YORK, May 23.-The grandeSt
coup yet made by Fisk and Gould will
ere long astOnish not only Wall street
but the entire financial world. 1t will
be remembered that during the ses-
sion of the Legislature the Stock Ex-
change applied for a charter in Al
bany. When it passed out of the
hands of the committee it was found
that the names of the incorporates
had all been changed, and the Wall
street brokers would have nothing to
do with it in that shape. Still the
charter passed both houses, and it is
now reported in well informed circles
that Governor Holman will sign the
bill as passed, constituting the gentle
men whose names were inserted in the
list after it left Wall street sole incOr-
porators of the New York Stock Ex=
change, thus making that institution
the only legal institution for the sale
and purchase of stocks in New York
city, as the present Stock Exchange
has no charter. Behind the names
thus quietly inserted against the wish
es of Wall street loom up in grand
proportions the names of Jay Gould
and James Fisk, jr., and the moment
their new institution has legally been
called into existence by the Governors
signing of the new Stock Exchange
charter, they become the legal arbi-
tiers of all stock transactions, and can
disregard and overrule the contracts
now entered into among parties on
the regular Stock Exchange, where
the Erie is not called. The Erie mag
mates will then be able to override all
financial arrangements in the old or
present board, as their new exchange
will then be the only legalized and
chartered institution of the kind in the
State.

DEMOCRATS! the day of battle has
arrived! We have a ticket composed
of well-tried and faithful men. The
destiny of the county of Shelby is now
in the hands of the people. The i'm
pOrtance of the contest now upon us
cannot be over estimated. The time
fd argument and discussion has
passed. lit only remains now for Us
to act. Democrats, at this time shall
there be any ~recreancy in our ranks?
Will not every man anxious for the
success of our gallant candidates, who
desires the defeat of Hudson and his
Radical associates, be at his post?
VIII there one be found to desert his
colors in this trying emergency?
Rather let there be a grand rally of
all our fOrces-let each man battle
with might and main for the truth
and right. To work, friends, then
friends Of our glorious cause! To
work with all your power to-day, with
your whole soul and mind and
strength. We appeal to you to stand
by your flag, by your candidates, by
your principles, by your country-to
devote THE WHOLE OF THIS DAY to
the u you have espoused-to the
noble men who viii so ably fill the
offices for which you have nominated
them in one of the largest, most intel
ligent and harmonious Conventions
ever held in Shelby county.
