II. That the aggregate white vote of
the State does not exceed. $4,000 pro
rata; the honest colored vote would not
exceed thirty per cent. more, which
would require us to overcome majority
OF about Is, 900 at the ballot.box.
IL. If we introduce $4,000 immi-
grants. who will have an interest in the
development of the State, it would save
the State from the ruinous expenditures
which are represented az it's current ex.
penses. For instance, the expenses of
the State in 1866 were $266. .244. IA,
and in 1873, SLIT, 1880. Yet with
this enormous expenditure there still
exists deficiencies to the amount of
$54o, 328. II the State was in the hands
OF honest officials, these enormities
would be corrected, and in few years
the present expenditures of the State
would be reduced to the basis of 1856
and 1866. There are now ten Counties
in the State with white majorities, and
there are twelve Others which, with the
introduction Of few hundred immi.
grants, and firm and united effort on
the part of the white vote, might be
added to them, which would give us
such representation in the General
Assembly as would place the control of
taxation in the hands of honest officials.
: The committee, therefore, recon.
mendthe adoption of tho following re-
solutions:
iRessoc!!esa, That this convention do ut
once organize Bureau of Immigration,
to consist OF one commissioners for
the State at large aud one commissioner
for each County in tho State. to reside
Mt or near the County seat. %
Resolped, That the said Commission.
ers OF Immigration shall be elected by
this convention as soon alter the adop.
ton OF these resolutions as may be
found convenient.

THE cusroM.HousE QUESTION

The following gentlemen were ap
pointed over year ago as commission
ers to select site for the future custom
house of Memphis: /. NJ. Hill, Chair
man; Henry G. Smith, VIM. M. Far
rington, NJ. c. Galloway, Chas. Kor'
trecht, Jno. Cubbins, W. ]. Smith,
Bronson Bayless and William G. Ford.
A proper committee, the public natu-
rally said, and one from which some
thing definite and sensible might be ex-
pec.ed. Well, what have they doneT
Nothing. Months roll up into years,
and still no report So far as the pub
lie has any official information, they
have never held a meeting. And yet
people wonder why Congress does not
send the money here to build a custom
house. How can Congress be expected
to trouble itself about custom-house
in Memphis, when the leading citizens
are apparently too Indifferent to select
the site. True, there is no great prob
ability that any appropriation will be
made at this session of Congress. We
stated this several weeks ago; but we
hold that that fact should have no bear
ing upon the action Of the commits
sioners. They should perform the
duty entrusted to them or re-
sign. Thus far they have not made a
m ajority report, minority report, or any
other kind. No wonder that Congress
is tardy in coming to our aid, and that
Barbour Lewis cannot secure cent in
the shape of an appropriation. Knox
vile has a magnificent custom house
because the people worked for it, and
Horace Maynard could say that his con-
stituents wanted it. Horace Harrison,
who represents the Nashville district, is
actively seconded in his efforts to secure
a custom.house for that city. Memphis
alone seems Indifferent. The mere
question of location, whether in North
or South Memphis, or in the center, is of
minor importance. Let US have it any
wherein Chelsea or Huppertstown, or
Fort Pickering, SO something is done.
The selection of site is preliminary
step whichwe venture to assert will have
to be taken before Congress pays any
further attention to the subject.

to talk of hunting than he had during

Of them that has ever seen a run in

We cannot unite with our cotempora-
ries in their hearty support of Mr..
Leagues plan to retire the interest past
due on city bonds. He is doubtless act
ing in good faith and doing what he
thinks best for Memphis under perplex-
ing circumstances. But when city
goes on the market to buy up its indebt-
edness, it becomes an interested party IN
the breaking down of its own credit
The charter, we do not think, gives
any such power, nor can such
policy in the end be productive OF
good results. It is telling the coupon
holder that he must take the lowest mar
ket price which be can get or nothing.
1t is indirectly repudiating fraction OF
the city debt. 1t is giving brokers on
the street all the advantages instead OF
the people. We shall insist that these
coupons should be received in payment
of the interest tax. There is no reason
in equity, justice, law or sound policy
why such an ordinance should not be
passed for the benefit OF the people.
The city has no right to tamper with Its
own credit in this manner. We will
speak more fully on this matter here

co1oNEL CoLYAR,s CONVENTION

A. s. Colyar has concluded to hold
his Convention at Nashville on the first
Tuesday in May. We cannot under
stand the object fully, but presume that
il is to indorse the Bartlett resolutions
and otherwise promote harmony in the
Conservative and Democratic ranks.
The Banner, in speaking of the call,
says: The proposed gathering, we take
il, if it does no good, is rot nhely to 40
any harm. A conference, having in
in view the discussion of live and vital
issues affecting our State, can hardly be
Objectionable to anybody, Democratic,
Conservative or Independent. As the
address at least suggests harmonious
action among the conservative elements
of the State, it is to be commended on
that account. In the present condition
of affairs a consolidation of energies
and elements in the cause Of retrench-
ments and reform is desirable, and II
this proposed conference meeting con-
tributes anything in that direction, II
will not have met in vain. 1t may, be-
sides, have the effect Of inducing spirit
of federation and progress all around
BY setting a wholesome example that
viii be we'll worthy Of imitation. But
vhether it may or may not have this de
sired effect, the propositions are entitled
"a respectful and tolerant consideration.
