party and then going against it. When he
found them in sympathy with Democrats
and opponents OF Republlcanism, he could
only characterize them as illiberal and
treacherous partisans. The regulars would
meet in Philadelphia, and he firmly believed
they would select as their nominee Ulysses
S. Grant, man in whose favor the country
had already pronounced, and he was con-
WINGED he would be the standard-bearer in
1872. He was not of those who believed
the Republicans were without fault as a
party. He announced the principles OF the
party to consist in true protection OF all
men throughout the country, white and
black, of which doctrine Grant was the
embodiment. An administration which
had been characterized by honesty and
economy" He went on in this stream for
some time, and closed in an allusiOn to ''the
ship of State.' Barnacles must be stripped
from her bottom, unsound planks be taken
out, when, after she wouldnpme out OF the
docks, she would sail on to Triumph.
Mr.. Ransier of South Carolina, had come
here to attend the convention. and had seen
our sharp men and fair ladies. Il have
seen your stagnant waters, it is true, which
brought chill over me, and suggested ya!-
Ter fever" He went on to tell the object
which animated the convention, who were
determined that the black man should have
just as many rights of citizenship as any
other man. 1--WE had determined he said,
mot to participate in the Cincinnati con
yention." He then said that after - we had
gone through with all the wire pulling, and
Somebody Is beated,' the platform of the
convention would be found firmly estab
lished throughout the whole country.
He went on to speak of Cincinnati and
its forthcoming convention, and of those
who, III case they would stem the tide of
civilization by belonging to that conven-
ton would be fools. For one. he did not
believe that Governor Warmoth was going
there.
When the speaker had finished, Mr.. j. r.
G. Pitkin read the resolutions, which affirmed
the principles OF the National Republican
party, went in for Grant, and failed to
recognize any division in the Republican
ranks. The resolutions then closed in the
arraignment Of Governor Warmoth for vio-
lation of every public trust.
THE RESOLUTIONS.

Orleans, in mass meeting assembled, reaihrm ther

Yesterday afternoon twenty negroes,
mounted on males, galloped from the
north through the city and down to the
United States Marsbals office. There
was dismounting in hot haste, and a
general rush was made upstairs where
Marshal Eaton sat absorbed in thought,
bordering over the expected defeat
of Radicalism in Shelby county. The
twenty negroes were taken into the Uni
ted States Courtroom, the doors were
locked, and in the presence of the Mar
shall, the District Attorney and Sheriff
A. p. Curry, the tale was told as to how
the big fight came of at Bottoms store
in the Fourth district and how several
negroes were desperately wounded by the
Ku-Klux. Parson Dunlap, a colored
preacher, engaged in difficulty with a
white man, and was knocked down. The
colored men cried out "our preacher is
killed" and a general rush was made to-
wards the polls. Then firing commenced
between the whites and blacks, and in a
few minutes general stampede Of the
latter took place. The twenty mounted
their mules, rode with might and main,
aud never Stacked rein until the church
spires of Memphis were in sight. Seve-
raj negroes received flesh wounds from
pistol balls, and few white men we're
likewise injured. Last evening warrants
we're being prepared by the United
States officials for the arrest Of a num-
Der of white men, charged'with violation
of the amendments preventing negroes
from voting-threatening to Ku-Klux
them, and other high crimes and INSIDE
meanors. To-day the officers started for
the Fourth district, in order to make the
arrests on the warrants sworn out by the
excited negroes. l3f

The WARM WEATHER.-We probably
shall not feel any cooler by rejecting
that others are suffering still more than
we from the fierce rays of the sun, but
some churlish persons may fad comfort
in the thought. For the benefit of such
we will note, from the Bombay Gazette,
that the thermometer was lately ll5o in
the shade at Allahabad, and ll60 at
Hyderabad, and that the wells were dry
ing up and men and beasts dying with
thirst. We are strongly of opiAion
these places have h0rrid bad weather for
this season Of the year.
