UNITING OF THETwo CONVENTIONS

The committee appointed to invite
the Liberal Republican Convention to
unite with this convention here ap-
peared, and report that they have per-
formed the duty assigned them, and
that the members of the Liberal Repuj-
lican Convention wete now on the
way to the hall.
During the afternoon Governor Pal
mer, President of the Liberal Republi-
can Convention. appeared arm-in-arm
with Governor KOerner amid the wild
est enthusiasm on the part of the dele
gates and spectators, and advanced
to the platform, where they were met
by Governor Allen, President of the
Democratic Convention.
Governor Palmer announced that the
Liberal Republican Convention had
heartily indOrsed the nominations re-
ported by the Joint Committee on Con-
ference of the two conventions and glad
ly joined hands with the Democracy in
their support.
Governor Allen said he desired to meet
the advances of the Chairman of the
Liberal Republican Convention in the
spirit in which they were; and, like
Paul, forgetting the things that are be-
hind, strike hands with him in the COM
mon cause.
As the ehairmen of the two conven-
tions advanced and elasped hands, an
other scene of wild excitement ensued,
the delegates standing upon benches,
and cheering frantieally for several mo-
msnts. Governor Koerner was then
introduced, and in a brief speech re-
turned thanks for the honor conferred
upon him, which he had not sought, but
on the contrary, had hoped to see an
other nominated for the position. He
accepted the nomination, however, and
pledged his best efforts for the success of
the ticket and the cause it represented.

OBITUARY..

=EMERY Mrs. MARY CARROLL EMERY
sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, June 18th, 1872, at
the residence of her mother, Mrs. Eliza B. Car
roll, Memphis, Tennessee, aged little more
than twenty-three years.
1t is not within the compass of this brief
notice to analyEe and unfold this lovely
character, which, like a modest violet, ex-
hailed its rich perfume in the sacred privacy
of home. They only who love and mourn
husband, mother, sister and devoted friends
can fully realize all that she was. And even
they are making new discoveries as they miss
the countless little deeds OF love which dis
titled silently, like the dews Of night, from her
gentle hands, so that one could scarcely tell
whence they came.
She was reared in the nurture and admoni-
ton of the Lord. Her childish feet were made
familiar with the Sabbath-schOol and the
sanctuary. The good seed fell ia TO good sol, /,
and grew, man could not tell how-nrst the
blade. then the ear, after that the full corn In
the ear. The Kingdom Of God came not with
observation, for her shy spirit could not as yet
speak freely of its sweet experiences. In due
time, however, she sought and obtained from
the venerable eldsrs, who had watched over
her childhood, permission to approach the
Lord s 1aDle. But Qe&Jn seemed 70 u1seal neE
lips to speak in words of wondrous beauty of
what the Lord had done for her soul. Her
dying hopes clothed themselves in the most
beautiful expressions of Scripture. Loving
messages, breathing ofIHeaven and hope, were
sent to absent friends, and the most pathetic
entreaties to those who had not accepted the
Savior.
The agony was protracted, while she re-
peated again and again the submissive yet
urgent prayer: "Come, Lord; come nowT
Just before the end, one btint over to whisper:
"Be patient few moments longer. Hold fast
to the Savior's hand, and the dark valley shall
be behind you forever" l,1lash of holy conf
dence lighted up her pale features while she
replied: "I will. Oh, I'm &C hapPy-so happyp
These were her last words. The delicate frame
shiyered a few times, asif ihe cold waters were
flowing over IL, the sweet eyes grew dim, and
the ransomed spirit fed to be with Jesus.
"And 1 heard a voice from Heaven saying
unto me: Write, Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the
Lord, that they may rest from their labors,
and their works do follow them.'"

CINCINNATI, June 26.-It is well un-
derstoOd here and certain, that Mr..
Groesbeck will show respect to the
action of the Democratic National Con-
ventiOn, and will not antagOnize it by
accepting the nomination made at New
York, or by any other nomination made
outside the regular Democratic Conven-
ton.
1t is claimed this morning by those
favOring Trumbull's nomination, that if
he shall be nominated he will not de-
cline, and the prospect is he will be
placed at the head of the ticket. There
is strong influence at work for Koer-
ner, however, which with the reluctance
OF Senator Trumbull TO accept the noIni-
nation if rendered him, leads many to
the opinion that Koerner viii be the
nominee, as stated in last nights dis
patches. 1t is not expected that either
convention will proceed further to-day
than forming a temporary organization.
Trumbull viii speak at two o'clock from
the stand erected in the State house
yard Governor Brown, of Missouri,
who was also announced to speak this
afternoon, it is now learned, viii not be
here, having been detained in jefferson
City by an extra session Of the Legisla-
tnne- The weather is very warm, the
thermometer standing at ninety-six in
the shade.
The following call was issued here to-
day:
A conference having been had on the
part of many Democrats Of the city and
State Of New York, who are opposed to
the nomination of Horace Greeley, at
Baltimore and who will nrt slInrorf
him if nominated, to take such meas
ures as principle, duty and self-respect
demand in view of such event, it is
deemed the most practical method of
giving expression 10 such opposition, to
invite all Democrats, IN every part of
the Union who are willing TO cooperate
IN such movement and can personally
attend, TO be present at Baltimore on
the eighth Of ! Iy, to confer together
ana take such action as then may be
deemed advisable.
The call is signed by Joseph r. Flan-
ders and John F. Van Allen.

ESTA ABLISHED 1910.

SENATOR TRUMBULL pronounced a
magnificent speech yesterday at Spring
field, Illinois, in advocacy of Greeiey's
election. We would like to publish it;
but cannot afford TO have it appear on
the same day with Shaw's and Barbour
Lewis's efTUsions. Let these two stand
in he solitude Of their own perfect
originality, and let every weak
kneed Democrat read Shaw's splen-
f6d haran2ue. See how true
are those patriots who term themselves
ffndependent candidates" Read Shaw
and Barbour to-day, and think of Demo-
cratic traitors; aud, tomorrow, read a
statesman 5 Oration-Senator TTumbulrs
contrasting it with this of Barbour
Lewis's, which we print this morning.

STARTLING REVELATION.
Facts Stranger than Fiction.

Now that the people of Memphis are
awakening from their lethargy, and are
becoming alive to the importance of
home industry and manufacture, we pro-
pose to state few facts for their con-
sideration. For the past few years there
have been men from 1ouisviIle.and other
places, coming to Memphis and carry
ing away thousands of dollars every
year for roof painting alone This could,
every dollar, be left here without being
the least detrimental to any of our own
citizens. We are manufacturing the
best roof coating out of material made
most of it in its crude state in Memphis.
All of the ingredients are purchased
here, manufactured by Memphis men,
and applied by Memphis mechanics,
and guaranteed for its durability for five
years, by a Memphis house, whose in
tegrity and responsibility has never
been questioned, all for the low sum of
seventy-five cents per square. We have
the recommendation of all the Mem
phis architects, and can furnish samples
and recommendation from a host Of
Memphis men. These are stubborn
facts, plainly told, and it is for the prop
erty holders themselve to say whether
they will continue this suicidal policy or
not. All those who have roofs needing
paint would do well to call on us and
be convinced of the truth of our state
ment. Hook Il LAGRILL,
328 Second street.

Iy covered up by the mud. A sand-bar
extending out into the river nearly a
hundred feet has been formed by the

Cincinnati and Red river tr&de next fall.
The st. Louis Republican OF the
twenty-fifth says: "The river ct this
port is still slowly receding. All the
upper tributaries of the Mississippi Me
declining. The far upper Missouri is
again reported rising, but there is no
prospect of a great flood that we can see.
The signal reports are generally reliable
enough for all practical purposes, espe-
cially when the condition Of the rivers
at Leavenworth, Omaha, Fort Benton,
St. Paul and Davenport is concerned.
Taking these reports as a guide, we have
reason to say that at present there is not
the least probability of damaging flood
this season."

form of principles adopted by the Gin
cinnati Convention, together with the
clear Interpretation of the same emu
merated in the letter of Horace Greeley
accepting the nomination of that con-
ventiOn for the office of President of the
United States, offers common ground up
