A sENsIBLE CoLoREp rEACHER.

The Mckenzie Times tells us that at a
colored school picnic az Huntington on
the 10th the Rev. Charley Moore (col-
ored), one Of the great lights of the race
in that section, made a speech, taking
strong ground against the civil rights bill;
be said he did not want mixed schools, but
would prefer that each race have its own
teachers and schools. The Reverend
Charley has level head. We do not
doubt but there are hundreds Of just as
intelligent, well meaning cOlorea men in
every county who will vote the Conserv
alive ticket if the social and political
questions Of the day are eandidly and
fairly presented to them. They should
not be ignored in the canvass. They
should not be left to the wiles and mis-
representations Of selfish race agitators.
They are worth Withdrawing from the
folds Of the colored commune, and it is
lint humanity to make the effort.

THE CONVENTION.

The members of the Executive Board
may congratulate themselves upon the
snccessful manner in which they per-
formed their labors. The details have
been admirably adapted to the end in
view which, after all, was merely to
hiring forth an authoritative expression
from the people in the nomination OF a
ticket. Primary elections have been
fairly held in all the wards and districts
of Memphis and Shelby county The
delegates, when assembled, will consti-
tute as able, digui6ed and Intelligent
body of men as ever met for a political
purpose in Tennessee. The list speaks
for itself, and gives assurance OF wise
coupsels and harmonious action. We
confidently expect to see strong ticket
nut forth and elected. The character OF
the material to be presented before the
Convention has been pretty freely
discussed already by the people
No doubt many silly and mali
cious rumors viii be put in circnla-
ton at the last moment by cunning OPP
moments of tie Bartlett movement to
distract the Convention, and if possible
TO cause the nomination of weak men
for some of the Offices. Many of those
unfounied reports have been put forth
already as feelers, but have utterly failed
to produce any visible effect, The ar
rangement whereby delegates will oc-
cupy a floor to themselves, free from
intruders and lobbyists, will secure
much greater freedom of action, as we'll
as conduce to good order and the COM
fort of delegates. This is turning
point, for four years at least, in the local
affairs of Shelby county, and the realiza
ton of such serious fact cannot fail to
impress upon the mind of every dele
gate high sense of the delicate and
responsible duty he has to perform.

Lncra,ive Deed Of Trust.

Some years ago a st. Louis merchant,
we'll known and highly respected, failed
10 business, and after settling up his
affairs gave to his principal creditor a
deed Of trust on certain real estate to
secure the payment Of $4,000. At the
time the property was barely valued at
that, SO the creditor put the deed in his
safe, and there, SO far IS he was con-
cerned, the matter ended. The mer-
chant, broken down, disappointed, poor,
but yet enterprising, went South, visited
California, Mexico and South America,
specialized, and, as is not uncommon
with such men, made a half dozen for
tunes, aud lost them again. In the
course of years he returned to the city
sick. travel-worn, needy and disheart.
ened. By chance he soon met his old
lawyer, a gentleman of high professional
and personal standing. After the fret
greeting, the lawyer remarked:
l am glad to see you back, and, as
you seem TO be in want of funds, the
sale will be just in time"
The merchant looked hard at his
Trend, and finally said: Sale what
sale I've got nothing to sell. "
Nonsensep my dear fellow; you
are richer than you imagine. Don't you
remember the deed Of trust / drew uI
for you some twelve years ago?"
81 do. What Of III"
Wen at that time the property woule
not have realized the sum; so it was lei
lie; but it is now in the market. and j
expect TO close contract for the sal,

You amaze me; what price do yor
expect to get9
i've asked eighty-six thousand dol
lars, and shall get it, too. Your deb
and interest will amount TO twenty-on,
thousand dollars, or Whereabouts, 5,

The sensations Of the benefited part
may almost be personally shared b
those who read this story Of his goo
fortune.

BRING OUT TIE RESERVES.

Under this heading the Union and
American of yesterday has an article
which applys very aptly to Shelby county
as we'll as Davidson and others. We
hope the warning will be needed by those
who SO often fail to vote on the ground
that they are not politicians: The
State census Of 1871 gave Davidson 923I
white voters to 5Sl7 blacks, making g
total Of 1904. The highest poll of 1872
was only 1889, showing 1924 stay at
homes. This is twenty-three per cent.
of the entire voting population, or thirty
per cent Of the vote actually cast. In
other words. one man Of every four
stayed away from the polls. Other
counties also show remarkably large
percentage Of voters whose voice has
been silent in past contests. We have
every reason to believe that nine-tenths
of this self-disfranchised class belong to
the peoples party. The county elec
tons, bearing directly on their local
interests, afford good chance for draw
ing them out. Once aroused, they may
be depended on. The most practical
and the most profitable work in all tbs
counties during the coming six weeks is
to bring out the reserves. After draw
ing out all we can in August, we vii
have three months to rally the rest t.
the November polls"

A WASHINGTON special says: "a long
letter from General Sherman has been
made public, addressed to the Secretary
of War on the 18th of August 1870, en-
deavoring to show by argument that the
General of the army ought to be q
much bigger Indian than he had been
allowed to be under Presidents Grant,
Polk, Pierce and Buchanan. The letter
was not replied to, and the refusal to
comply with the suggestions for broader
to the General is supposed to
have induced General Sherman to re-
move his headquarters to St. Louis.

Among the names of candidates for
admission to the bar before the Supreme
Court of Illinois, will be found that of
e. j. Conger, name with a story APP
pended, he being the identical Conger
that effected the capture Of John Wilkes
Booth, the assassin Of President Lincoln.
His history since that time is an event
full one. Having received $4,000 as his
reward for the capture he loaned it to a
friend, Colonel Baker, who secured the
loan by a mortgage on piece of land
in Michigan. Shortly after the execu-
ton OF the mortgage Baker died, and
Conger, after the maturity of the debt,
proceeded to foreclose. Unfortunately
the land was not correctly located in the
mortgage, and the Baker heirs contested
the foreclosure. After a protracted
series Of efforts to recover, Conger was
finally beaten and left pepniless. In
this condition he removed to Carmi, ILL.,,
to reside, and since then has prepared
himself, by long and earnest study, to fit
himself for the profession he has entered.

was arrested in Winchester, Kentucky,
Sunday, for poisoning three children Of
Mr.. Eclal, who lives near that place.
Two Of the children died. The girl said
she had nothing against the family, but
poisoned the children because she
wanted to. Two white girls, who died
suddenly a year ago in family in Clark

are now supposed to have been poisoned
by her.
