Is1-A Red-HOt Time.
Last night, from seven to nine O'Clock,
the vicinity of Assembly Hall, ON Main
street, was enlivened by the footing Of
horns, beating of drums, the shrill sound
of martial flies and the discordant roar
of mingled hoarse Caucasian and Afri-
can voices, for the cohorts of Grant, the
Nepotist, were assembled in great force
to appoint delegates to the State Ted-hot,
uncompromising war knitted, ,yed-
in-the-wool convention, which is to
meet shortly in Nashville, in the inter-
est Of the various army of office holders.
The colOred brass band made discordant
sounds, both outside and in, for an hour
and half previous 10 the opening OF
business, during which time the inter-
ested were gathering principally atrom
the various locations OF Federal offices
in the city and from Rotten Row and
HELPS HaIf-acre. At half past eight
o'clock the benign cOuntenance Of Bar
bour Lewis opened beautifully as he
raped upon the table and said: Gen
tIenaen, it is time that this meeting
come to order.n He also said that he
hoped the business would be conducted
in a gentlemanly and orderly manner,
and that the meeting would have to ap-
point delegates to the Nashville gather
ing on the fifteenth, to nominate man
for Congress in this district, and to do
many other useful and appropriate
things. He concluded by saying that
the first business to be done would be to
elect a chairman. Several men in the
hall nominated Judge Hudson, who
was made chairman by acelamation-
JUDGE HUDSON,
on taking the chair, said he was glad to
see around him those that were COM
rades in many a good fight on former
occasions. 1t was two years since they
had met to deliberate politically, owing
to the fact that they were betrayed; but
they would remember those traitors, and
they would also be mindful of the men
who would betray them now. lie then
spoke of the great things they took part
in achieving in the past, among which
was the election of Q. 5. Grant. Ire
mendous roaring. He said that many
events had since transpired which re-
bounded to the glory of the Grant men
and to the benefit of the country, by
which an impression was made on the
popular mind, which could not be re-
moved by the vain efforts Of the
oFFsCoURINGs OF THE REPUBLIcAN
PARTY,
called Liberal Republicans. Those off
scourings were either sore-heads, or orig
inal wool-dyed Democrats. The people
who were most clamOrous for Gree
lev, and were the lOudest-mOuthed Lib
erai Republicans, were men who never
voted the Republican ticket-fellOws
who were Union men since 1854
STEALING PROCLIvITIEs.
The object of this Republican move
meDt was to steal from the treasury OF
the United States. l say, look at the
men who are foremost in this detection,
/ and YOU will find they are twin brothers
to the Tammany Ring of New York.
The Judge, having tapered off with q
! few more graceful remarks, said that il
would be necessary to have a secretary.
| A motion was made to have Colonel
| Eaton for secretary, but another one was
made, which was carried, making Mr..
| DYER, editor of the Memphis RepUbIi-
