e republican Revolutions at MeRDhi

Republican Resolutions at Memphis.
! The Republican Con gressional Con-
yentfon-a Memphis, made up largely
of colored delegates, passed the fol-
lowing resolutions:
81 We affirm as the fundamental
principles of this Government the
civil and political equality of all citi-
zens, without distinction of race,
creed or color. The Republican party
has never claimed or desired to force
the social equality of different races OF
individuals of the same race We re-
cogniZe the line of distinction between
civil and political and social and pri-
vate rights, as clear and distinct in the
nature of things, and we reject with
scorn the issue of race against race Gas
| rendered by the Democracy, which
has already resulted in wholesale
murder, and which, if persisted in,
will plunge us again into the horrors
of civil war. We neither desire nor
seek the Invasion of the rights
of whites by colored citizens, but only
ask equal justice in matters of public
and common right. The Republican
party neither desires favors the en-
| forcement of mixed schools, or of any
social equality, except before the law
| but we recognize the principle which
| is older than our Constitution, that
every mans house is his CASTLE
land under our Government every
| citizen, white or black, has the right
! to bear arms, in conformity to law
and to ex press his opinion without in-
| reference Or molestatiOn.

LETTER FROM NASHVILLE.

1rrespondence Of the chroniefe. I


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. s, IA.
More animation has been displayed
in business circles to-day, than has
been noticed for some time. Nhat IL
is all owing TO I am unable to state,
but the fact that Nashville has one
lively business day out of the three
hundred and sixty-fve, is certainly
very gratifying to this people. With
the exception OF the.cotton trade, and
it can hardly be excepted, this city is
commercially dead; dead, and possess
ed of unusual facilities fora vigorous
life. Had Knoxville the Railroad ad-
vantages of Nashville, she would -.
1 withhold the prophecy.
On Saturday last the Democrats OF
Davidson county, met in Convention
at the Court House, in this city, and
proceeded to "fix things" The meet
ing was not a paragon of harmony,
and its action is not the most satisfac-
tory. After two days .wrangling and
balloting, the result of their delibera-
tions is to-day announced in the NOM
ination of two Bourbon Democrats, for
Senators, one Confederate colonel,
Judges Jno. M. Lea, Edward H. East
and Carl C. Giers (Republicans) for
the Legislature. This result is not
nailed With any manifestations or ap-
plause on the part of the truly loyal
representative Democrats of the Bill
Bate stamp. Billy will need all the
votes he can get to elevate him to the
Senate: but if all these nominees are
elected, and they will be, three of them
would more likely support Mr.. May

NEW YORK.
Another Child Kidnapped in New
York.

s New YORK, Sept. 10.-There is great
excitement in Green Point over the dis
appearance of child of Jacob Hogar,
a wealthy tObacconist. It's nurse, Liz
zie- Menker. had been dismissed on
Tuesday ,.Ia last hoaIg and sohe hfefi lime, asked
permission to take the child, which is
only three months old, for sail. It
was granted, and she departed. Since
that time the chffd has not been seen.
The woman returned on Wednesday
morning with her arms covered with
blood, and could at that time give no
account of herself. She was placed
under arrest, and told a rambling story
to Commissioner Jenson. She said
that when the boat reached the New
York side, and while she was waiting
for it, to return to Green Point, two
men came in, and, after blindfolding
her, carried off the child and dragged
her on shore that they crossed some
other ferry and were taken to a dingy
house, where the handkerchief was
taken from her eyes; that the child
was carried away, and on her making
an cutlery they cut her on the arms,
but she finally escaped and got back
to New York, from where she returned
to Green Point. No credence is placed
in her story, and the police are investi-
eating the affair.

The New Orleans "Timcs7 says the
extent Of the damage which has re-
suited from the great overflow is Just
beginning to be fully understood;
that it was vast was readily conceiv-
cd, but that it should involve five
Millions of acres and q population of
178,000 was appm entity beyond rea-
sonable calculation. Yetsuch is real.
ly the case. In the cotton regions
it is now ascertained that nine of the
largest and richest parishes produc-
ing cotton have been inundated. The
porishes OF Carroll, Morehouse,
Richland, Madison, Franklin, Tensas,
Caldwell, Concordia and Catalonia,
are all overfOwed and embracing full
ly 2,5OOO,OOO acres. The amount OF
cotton land in these parishes in actu
al cultivation is ascertained to be
100000 acres, besides 100000 acres
in corn. These estimates include
only the large places, leaving out
hundreds of small farmers, and all
the estimates of cattle, hogs and gar
dens. The population Of these nine
parishes is 20,394 whites and 54,033
blacks, according to the ccncus Of
1870.
In the sugar producing parishes
the ascertaincd facts discovcran equal
if not a greater amount Of ruin and
suffering. These parishes are Pointe
Coupee, East Baton Rouge, West
Baton Rouge, Iberville Ascension,
Assumption, Lafourche. ST. James,
st. John the Baptispt st. Charles,
Tewe Bonnie and Plaqueminc. The
overflow in these parishes covers
nearly 100000 acres titled and I'M
titled, including n production $780,
600 hogshcads Of sugar, besides a
large product of rice and the crops
of small farmers, Of whom there are
many hundreds who have lost their
and pretty much everything else
they possess. Tho population Of
these parishes, according to the cen
cas- of 1870, was 5O,36S whites and
7O24l blacks, making q total OF lzz,-
500, from which must be deducted
the population of East Baton Rouge,
as only small portion of that par
ish has suffered from the overflow
The deduction being made, the par
isles named contain n population Of
100000.
In all the parishes named it is be-
licved that more than $4,000 people
are now in an actual suffering condi-
tion for the necessary supplies OF
life, sand that in less than sixty days
the number of those whose circum-
stances will require alienation will
increase to more than $4,000 per
sons.
