steamboat Convention - Last Day.
LOUISVILLE, November lin the
Steamboat Convention yesterday the
Committee on Finance reported recon-
mending the appointment Of two dele
gates from each State to lay before Con-
gress bill of exceptions to the steam
boat law, the delegates to pay their own
expenses; and that five cents per ton be
assessed on all steamboats,, and two and
a halfcents per ton on registered barges'
to defray the costs and for the mainte-
nance of the organization. The report
was adopted by the Convention.
A statement was made that over five
hundred boats plying about Pittsburg,
while exempt from the workings of the
law, had lost only four lives in five
years. t1
The Committee was authorized to send
to the Secretary of the Treasury re-
auesting that the further action Of the
steamboat law be withheld for nine
months. The Convention represents six
hundred thousand tons, being two-thirds
the total tonnage Of the country. One
half the tonnage of the Western rivers
is laid up in consequence Of the unjust
provisions of the law.
The Inspector of this district was de-
nounced as unqualified for the office
and should be dismissed.
A resolution was adopted calling on
Congress to repeal the new law. Also,
resolution of thanks to the Cincinnati
Boatmen's Association for being the first
to resist the new steamboat law, and
which caused the assembling OF this
National Convention.
A resolution that it is the sense OF
this Convention that the General Gov
eminent should complete the Portland
canal, take charge of it, and reduce
tolls, was adopted.
The report of the Committee on Me
mortal to the Secretary of the Treasury,
was adopted and ordered to be signed by
all members of the Convention.
After an address from the President,
the National Convention of steamboat
owners adjourned sine die
About half of the members left yes
terday and last night for their homes.
Many remain to visit the work on the
canal today

DUBLIN, November 1.-THE trial OF
Kelly, who has been accused of the as
sassination of Chief Constable Talbot,
of this city, was concluded yesterday,
the jury rendering a verdict of not
guilty. During the continuation of the
trial public interest has been active, the
general feelings of the citizens being
strongly in sympathy with the prisoner.
Immense crowds have thronged the
courtroom each day since the opening
of the examination. The evidence adj
duced utterly failed to establish the
charge of murder brought against the
prisoner. The announcement Of the ac-
quittal of Kelly was received with the
greatest feeling of satisfaction by the
hundreds who had assembled in the vi
cinity Of the courtroom in expectation
of final verdict. Subsequent to his
discharge Kelly was greeted with an en-
thusiastic reception, which almost
amounted to an ovation.

THE MONEY POWER.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says we have
wear after year the same old political re-
suits in Massachusetts,. They can be as
well stated before as after the election.
The truth is that the immense money
power which is consolidated in that lit
tie State, in banks and corporations,
have it entirely under their thumb, and
the interests of labor seem to be power
less to contend against it. The domina-
ton Of capital in Massachusetts, is su-
preme. The only healthy indication for
the future is the bold and resolute stand
taken by Wendell Phillips against the
proud and powerful oligarchy and the
efforts which he is making to arouse the
down-trodden masses to sense OF the
injuries and expressions they have long
been subjected to. If he can make any
sort of political disturbance in the old
Bay State, he will atone for many trans
gressions in the past.

WAR ON THE PEOPLE.

The Louisville Ledger says that early
in the day on the 9th inst. United
States Depty Marshal, sent from Oxford
to Columbus, Miss, for the purpose, be-
gan his arbitrary arrests in that vicinity.
The Democrats had made a splendid
canvass in Lowndes and adjoining coun-
ties, and the danger that they might
carry the election on the 18th had to be
obviated. At midnight the day before the
polls we're opened, the sheriff and ten
respectable citizens we're dragged from
their beds. The warrants for the arrest
Of these persons, says the New York
Herald, simply state that affidavit had
been made by one Rose that these men
had violated the Enforcement act.
These citizens have been guilty of no
other odense than having acted, when
commanded by the sheriff, in arresting
the parties against whom warrants had
been issued by the State courts as i'm
plicated in the murder Of young Lee, at
Artesia, by negro mob. The United
States Marshal carries about with him
wherever he goes a budget of blank war
rants charging a violation Of the
Enforcement act, which he can fill up at
pleasure, and as the exigency of the
canvass may require. II colored To-
ter isl ordered, rather too sharply, to
draw bucket of water, he at once goes
in search of the Lords man. as he
calls the Marshal, and has old boss
Gagged to his satisfaction.

The st. Louis Republican is still ham
mering at the impolicy of making q
Democratic nomination for the Presi-
dency in 1872. In reference TO the re-
results Of the recent elections, il says;
"They show that while the Democracy
cannot hope to beat the Administration
party with their own ticket in 1872, a
Liberal Republican ticket, supported by
lust such a union of Democrats and Lib
erals as carried Virginia, Texas and Lit
tie Rock, would almost certainly be sue
cessful against Grant. Such a ticket
would carry New York and Illinois, to
begin with; it would probably carry
Pennsylvania and Ohio; il would GER
tsinly carry all the Southern States,
with the exception Of South Carolina
and Florida; in one word, It would carry
50 many powerful States, whose votes
are nov cast invariably against the De-
moeracy. that President Grant would be
AZ decisiyely defeated as President Van
Buren, vas in ls40." This is rosecol-
orea view Of the situation. but the cclors

CORRECT.

The Columbus Miss. J Index of yes
terday says; There should be no abus-
ing the negro for the manner in which
he has chosen to exercise his rights as a
voter. We may hope to make him
ashamed of the character of some Of the
men he has put into ofiice--these men
we will hold to the strictest responsibility
for their acts-but it is foolish as well as
unfair to denounce the negro for stick
ing to his party organization; we must
enlist him in our own, and then we will
expect the same fidelity from him. =
This is the proper spirit and the right
kind OF talk. Time will bring all things
right, If there is any right not yet
crushed out of the world. 1t is not only
wrong, but unmanly to abuse the negro
for going his own way, or rather the way
those whose dupe he is mark out for
him. Win him by kindness, and then,
let us have peace.

Tuesday evening the 9TH, about dark,
Marsh Renfro, constable Of Maury
county, was killed at Neapolis, eight
miles from Columbia, by man named
Wicks, who lives at Neapols and is
painter by trade.
Renfro was shot at twice last Friday
night, while riding near his home. He
was in Columbia Thursday, and charged
Wicks with being the person who at
tempted to assassinate him.
While Renfio was at Heapolis Tues
day evening Wieks rode up. Renfro
saw him, fred both barrels of shotgun
and then commenced discharging his re-
yolyer. Wicks drew his pistol and fred
one shot, after having received three
wounds. He is expected to die. Rem

ing shot. He was member Of Chiea-

MEMPHIS THEArER- Rankin Comedy Company
BRooM's OPERA HoUsK-Variety performance
MRS. POLK.

The custom adopted by our Legisla-
lures of visiting Mrs. Polk in body Is
beautiful. So long as that noble woman
lives. we trust it will be observed. She
has come down to us from purer gene
ration. Among all the great ladies' oil
the land, she has no superior in all the
qualities that constitute aperfect woman.
The mention of her name suggests remi-
niscences of days when men were truly
great and when the conflicts of the bar
and the hastings were the battles OF
giants. Mrs. Polk knew Clay, Webster,
jackson, and all their great cotempora-
ries She saw the development of the
highest order of talent, character and
craftsmanship. She heard the giants in
the stormy debate, when passion or am
bition moved them to battle; and then
she saw them in the parlors as gentle,
and simple, and natural, as if they had
never played the role of intellectual
gladiators. As public men, their hands
were unstained with plumber, or gifts,
or the fruits OF speculation on the
money of the people. They were rare
men and lived at rare time. The po-
litical events from 1920 to 1850 make,
perhaps, the brightest pages in our his
tory. That period is celebrated for three
compromises to save the Union. First
was the Missouri, then the tariff, and
then that Of 1850, when the sections
were excited almost to the verge OF war
It was in 1920, we believe, when such
men as Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Lowndes
Cheves and many others who became
distinguished, first met in the House o.
Representatives. They we're all young
ambitious and brilliant. Perhaps in nj
other deliberative body at no other time
either ancient or modern, have such re
markable men met. Their fame is, 0
was, the glory of the country. The!
taught Europe that America could no
only produce Washington, but 1t coul'
produce Marshall, a Story, Kent,
Webster, Clay and Calhoun. Jane
K. Polk came into public life at late
day, and had the advantage of the teach
ings and examples Of the creates
men our Continent had produced. ID
grew to be himself strong man, and on
whose purity has never been questioned
And then, there was that prodigy o
debate, James C. Jones. And there wa
Gentry, with his ringing voice; and Has
kell, the finest orator, after 5. 5. Prem
tiss, the country has produced, Their
was Aaron V. Brown, a strong man an
a good man. Greatest of them all wa
John Bell. He was not only an orator
but statesman. These are all dead
but their fame sheds luster on the State
