In article I'd of the platform adopted
by the Republicans at their Congress
sional Convention yesterday, they "recog-
nize the principle is older than our Con-
stitution, that that every mans house is
his castle" That, however, did not de-
ter thirteen of the colored members of
the party from breaking into Mr.. Du-
rants well protected house on the
Pigeon Roost road the other night to
rob the house and outrage his wife. If
they failed to carry out their designs it
was from fright and cowardice. The
citizens castle was very little protec
ton on that occasion against the mob
who undertook to illustrate their ideas

A SPECIMEN BRICK.

Ed Shaw is the recognized colored
leader of the Republican party in West
Tennessee, although he holds an Office
10 which he could not have been elected
without more white votes than his party
usually controls. He led off the civil
rights crusade in the State at the colored
convention held last spring in Nashville.
On that occasion he'demsnded that col
Ored children should be admitted to white
schools. Yesterday be took pains at
Zion Hall to prove that the Republican
party wants nothing of the sort. He not
only knows better than he did at Nash
vile, but knows better how to interpret
the civil rights bill than Senator Bout
we'll, who proclaimed himself from
his desk in the United States SEN
ate in favor of mixed schools as
the best way to destroy race preiudices
at the South. Then Shaw came home
and made a very inaammatory speech at
The POle-Bearer's Hall, on Second street,
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1874-09-09

in which he advised his enthusiastic
hearers to assassinate the editors OF the
LEDGER. Next we hear Of the gentle
and lamb-like Shaw, who is so anxious
for peace and good will, at peace
meeting, so called, held at the EXPOSE
ton building to furnish him another OPP
portunity for abusing the press OF Mem
phis and the white race without STINT or
discrimination. He rose to such vast
and dignifed proportions on that occs-
sion as to forget the name of the obscure
little evening sheet until colored brother
rose up in meeting and suggested that 1t
might be the LEDGER ("yaw yaw, ne
he ~. He thought possibly that was
the name, and went on. This, OF
course, was bit of pleasantly
for stage effect, like everything else
he perpetrates, whether original or Dor
rowed, when in public. After disposing OF
the LEDGER in bis usual felicitous and
pleasant manneyesterday, he denounced
tbeSouthern whites awhile, and then paid
his respects 10 Governor John Q. Brown.
lie informed what few people live In the
United States that they should never
rest until John c. Brown is hung as
high as Haman, which was so high as to
leave the lamp-post branch of the busl-
ness entirely out of the question. The
placid orator, after soowling once more
at the LEDGER's chief of artillery, who
happened to be present taking notes,
and shaking his long, spectral finger in
that direction, renewed his oath of allie
glance to the Republican party, and re-
tired amid hideous applause and showers
of sunAower bouquets. Shaw is an un-
lettered mulatto, and it may be said
that his utterances are not worthy OF
any notice, any more than the senseless
rawlings of a lunatic This would be so if
be addressed an intelligent class of peo- |
pie, but, unfortunately, his hearers are |
an ignorant, prejudiced race, who hang |
on his words as gospel messages. His
widest utterances and most incendiary |
appeals bring forth the most vosdooic
storms of emotional applause. When
he proposes to shoot the editor of an in
dependent paper or hang Demo
cratic Governor by way OF getting up
an appetite for breakfast his colored
hearers evince their delight by liberal
display of ivory and the hungry shout of
impatient cannibals. Shaw is harmless
himself, as all towards are, single hand
ed, but he moulds the sentiment of the
colored people in Shelby county, who
look upon him as an orator and
prophet. His insane rawlings, made I'M
der the presumed forbearance OF the
white people, have more weight with his
followers than the combined testimony
and wisdom of the whole world. This
is no overdrawn picture, but an every
day reality which Northern Radicals
think is the very thing to reconstruct
Southern rebels.

Democratic and Conservative Party
rHr CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Democratic and Conservative
Convention, which closed its labors al
Bolivar last night after twelve o'clock,
was the most important gathering that
has occurred in this end of the state
since the close of the war. The magnl-
tude of its relations to the public veal
can be understood and appreciated only
by those who have closely studied the
political complexion of Tennessee and
the South for the past ten years, and who
are now cognizant of the great issues
that will be developed during the pend
ing canvass. The Convention was
equal to the demands of the public. 1t
was composed of the best men of the
district, men who represented with emil
nent distinction every profession, avoca-
ton and trade, and every nationality OF
the city and country. 1t was to be ex-
Dected, then, that its deliberations would
be characterized by the dignity and
harmony consistent with the morale,
intelligence and worth of such an as
semblage. When we consider that the
Convention was called upon to choose a
standard bearer from such an array OF
distinguished men as Fentress, OF Har-
deman; Mosby, of Fayette; Townsend,
Lowe, Avery, Young, Morgan and Win
chester, of Shelby, no wonder that tt-
cen ballots were cast before conclusion
was reached. While the respective
friends of these gentlemen-any one of
whom would do honor to our party
displayed laudable zeal in attempting
to secure the nomination Of their favorite,
the entire proceedings we're noted for
being conciliatory and harmonious in
the highest degree. The delegates went
to Bolivar determined to nominate a
man that could represent the people, and
right well did they succeed. Some fea-
lures of the contest are worthy of special
note, though 1t is hard to discriminate
where so much magnanimity was
displayed. The career of Mr..
Lowe, however, should not go unnoticed.
He entered the convention with larger
positive strength than any other candi-
date in the field, and his friends re-
manned steadfast as long as he would
allow them to use his name Had he
been factious or over-ambitious, he
might have defeated the objects of the
entire convention; but with the unself-
ishness worthy Of noble nature, he
twice withdrew from the contest, and
that too when he was the strongest man
in the field. While he was not
nominated, he occupies high
position in the hearts of his
countrymen, and he will doubtless
yet fill some exalted station in recogni-
ton Of his patriotism and selfdenial
Colonel II. C. Young the nominee, is
well calculated to lead eur party to a
glorious victory over the black coherts
of Radicalism in the November election.
He is a hard studenN. man of I'M
doubted integrity and ability, cool, clear
headed and well versed as to The needs
of the country. He is fluent SPEAKER,
a forcible debater and a sound reasoaer.
His nomination will meet with genera
appreciation, and we predict his election
over Barbour Lewis by an overwhelming
majority.
