Cali For a convention.

The Democratic voters of the 9Th Civil
District in this county, on Saturday last,
election day, resolved themselves into q
convention to consider the aspect of the
present legislative race in this and Hick-
man county. Esq. James Bushart was
called to the chair and Mr. j. 8. Goal
der, appointed Secretary.
The following resolution was unani-
mcusly adopted
ResQlved. That we, the Democratic
voters of Civil District No. s, respect.
fully suggest to the Executive Commit
tees of Hickman and Fulton counties
that in our judgment, the interest of the
party would be best subserved, by the
calling Of convention of the party o.
both counties, to select democratic
candidate for the Legislature.
We commend the above resolution t.
the consideration Of our committees. Fol
our own part, We apprehend no danger
Of the election Of Radical; but, nev,
srtheless, We are aware, q large number
Of voters, share the opinion expressed b.
the 9th District. The candidates, a
well as the committees, should give the
suggestion proper consideration.

Rich without Money.

Many a man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in their
pockets, and thousands without even a
pocket are rich. A man born with a
good sound constitution, good stomach,
good heart, and good limbs, and pretty
good head piece, is rich.-Good bones
are better than gold; tough muscles than
silver, and nerves that fash fire and carry
energy to every function, are better than
houses and iand.-It is better than a
land estate to have the right kind of q
father and mother Good breeds and
bad breeds exist among men as really
as among herds and horses. Educa-
ton may do much to check evil ten
deucies or to develop good ones; but
it is a great thing to in herit the
right proportion of faculties to start
with The man is rich who has q
good disposition-who is naturally kind,
patient, cheerful, and hopeful, and who
has flavor of wit and fun in his compo-
l,ition. The hardest thing to get along
With In this life is mans own self. A
c,oss, selfish fellow, desponding com
plining fellow timid and care bur-
dened man-these are all born deformed
on tAe inside. Their feet may not limp
but their thoughts do.

The RauIsfon Uaur,,.

We are reliably informed that Gen.
Harrison, the U. 8, Marshal for Ten
nessee, is vigorously pushing an investi-
cation of the hanging of two negroes. re-
Gently forcibly taken from the Sheriff of
Weakly county by disguised band Of
armed men. We are permitted to pub
lish that the charge connecting citizens of
Fulton county with the act is found to be
without foundation, and almost imnossi-
bic from facts ELECTED. Some citizens
around Fulton Station were considerably
aggrieved by the said negroes depreda-
ting on their horses, etc., but are proven
free of any possible connection with the
hanging, aud are known to have been
entirely satisfied with their arrest by the
civil authorities. The Marshal will pre-
sent strong indictment against Mr..
Shaver, of Dresden, for the alleged shoot
ing and attempt to murder negro woman
at Fulton Station, the wife of'one of the
negroes hanged. 1t is charged that Dir.
Shaver, in company with Mr.. Sim
mons, visited the house of this woman,
demanded the whereabouts of her hus-
band, and upon her failure to tell, shot
her, inficting dangerous wound, and
afterwards knocked her with pistol and
stamped her severely. 1t is also added
that this woman had not recovered from
child bed What there may be oil the
facts of this case, we of course, k,ow
nothing, and pretend to say nothing, lut
as the charges as We give them are ly

General Harrison, we learn, intends TO
turn the cases over to the State authori-
ties.
We learn, also, the Marshsl's assis-
tants. claim to be in possession of facts,
which will lead to the detection of those
who did the hanging. Every good citi-
zen will of course pray that no innocent
man may be made to suffer, but the good
of society demands that these acts Of
lawlessness should be suppressed aud
discouraged. We sincerely trust the
gentlemen under indictment by the U. S
Marshal, or to be indicted by him before
the State Courts, may thoroughly estab
lish their innocence Since they are tc
be arraigned before State tribunal there
can be no question but that they vii
have fair trial

A Liberal Education.

That man, I think, has liberal edu-
cation, who has been SO trained in his
youth that his body is the ready servant
of his will, and does with ease and pleas
ure all the work that, as mechanism, it
is capable of /; whose intellect is q clear,
cold logic engine, with oil its parts Of
equal strength and in smooth working
order, ready, like a steam engine to be
turned to any kind of work, and spin the
gossamers as we'll as forge the anchors
of the mind; whose mind is stored with
the great and fundamental truths of
nature and of the laws of her operations;
one, who, no stunted ascetic, is full of
life and FIRE but whose passions are train
ed to come to heel by a vigorous will,
the servant of a tender conscience; who
has learned to love all beauty, whether
of nature or of art, to hate all vileness
and to respect others as himself.

Anairs I'm the south.

The joint committee of twenty-one to
investigate the condition Of affairs in the
South will reassemble here next week,
when it will be decided whether the in
vestigation shall be conducted in Wash
ington, and witnesses summoned here, or
whether the committee shall be divided
into sub committees, and distributed
through the South. The more extreme
Republicans think that the evidence will
be more general and important if the
witnesses are summoned here. Several
members favor postponing the investiga-
ton till next Fall in order that a fresh
report may be made to Congress in De-
cenber, while proposition will also be
made to have an Investigation now, and
another one in October.

1t is very we'll put in, says the Yeo-
man, in our Democrtic State platform,
where il is demanded in the second reso-
luton that a revenue system shall be
adopted by which the burdens of taxation
shall not only be justly and equally dis
tributed, but that all taxes actually col
lected from the people shall surely reach
the Treasury. Recent developments be-
fore Congress- have disclosed the start
ling fact that score or two Of millions
of internal revenue actually paid to the
Federal tax gatheers have never been, and
never will be, by them, paid into

HORACE GREELEY having been charged
by the Springfield Republican with con

indignantly repels the charge of conceal
meut, and candidly avows that he is
unfriendly to that eminent smokers re-
nomination. In justification of this open
unfriendliness, the famous agriculturist
and philosopher says he "ardently de-
sires to see the principle established that
President shall have no aspirations ex-
cept to serve the country eminently."

The platform presented, we think, will
be indorsed by the entire party, State
and National. II can be presented with
pride 10 Kentucky, 10 Massachusetts,, OF
IN any part of the American Union. We
regard these resolution as the happy ex-
preston of the delegated wisdom of the
party, looking to thorough harmony
with the National Democracy, aud re
lieving the National organization of any
possible or conceivable embarrassment
which might result from impracticable
local questions or differences of opinion
by members of the Kentucky Democracy
It insures Democratic harmony in any
section of the Union. 1t is liberal in
spirit, and so rigidly guards the funda-
mental States rights principles of the
party as to silence any apprehension in
the minds of the most extreme as to a
purpose to compromise principles for the
sake of policy OF the alluremeuts Of vic
tory. The party is pledged to all taicful
aud iust measures to reverse all acts oi
the Radical party whereby it is sought
to stripthe State Of their sovereign rights;
but, it must be observed that war is
made upon these acts because Of their un
constitutionality, aud because they strip
States of ali rights. and not because they
confer rights or privileges upon certain
class of people.
The 4th resolution endorses the ad
dress recently issued by the Democratic
members of Congress, which indeed
covers the full grounds upon which the
Presidential contest of 1872 will be
fought. This address urges the party to
discourage the violafion Of the rights oi
the negro [any peoplel secured under the
Constitution. or any Of It's amendments;
and not to aid Radical attempts to renew
the issues of the war. The obvious OBJ
ject and meaning of which is to cut the
party loose from the fossil remains of the
negro. free the party from all prejudices
pertaiuing to him, and fight the next
campaign upon live, existing issues.
This is the spirit of the platform present.
ed by the unanimous voice of the De
mocracy of Kentucky in convention as
sembled 1t nowhere, in no word or
manner. squints toward the recognition
of the impracticable idea of what is call
ed "White Mans Party" If there
are those who entertain such impracti
cable theories, they must end approval
outside the Democratic party of Ken
tucky.
The 5th resolution pledges the Demo
cratic party of Kentucky to secure to
every person ample protection of life,
liberty and property Hnder lasos enacted
By our oica Legislature, and administer
ed by our own courts, and to this end to
have enacted such laws as experience
may demonstrate to be necessary. II
this is intended to encourage or in
augurate what is termed the "White
Mans Party" we should have to concede
the 1000 delegates assembled at Frank
fort a set of hypocrits and fools. No; il
means TO cut the party loose from such
disadvantageOus positions, and fight the
real enemy in the next campaign. IL
other words the platform, we regard, as a
confirmation and approval of the position
taken by those democrats known as being
in favor of accepting the situation, and
by failure of recognition disapproval
of the Bourbon type. This is its mean.
ing, or il means nothing.

anger of the Versailles troops against the
insurgents is terrible-inconceivable
they refuse them quarter; and it is utter
ly useless for an insurgent officer to ask
for mercy. By consequence, the con.

marked by scenes of unparalleled blood
shed and slaughter. In one s.little af-
fair" at Clamart fully 800 insurgents
were transfxed by the bayonet.
