LOUISVILLE, Septem Der "A special
dispatch to the COurier-Journal from
Holly Springs, Mississippi, says the
largest political meeting ever held in
the State occurred yesterday. Senator
Gordon, of Georgia, and Congressman
Lamar spoke to number of colored
men who were present.
Senator GOrdOn's speech was con-
sentative, beseeching a spirit of recon-
ciliation and good feeling and eulo-
CYSTIC of the Federal soldiers. He APP
pealed to the colored people to unite
with the white people, and drive out
the carpet-baggers. He contrasted the
condition of his State with that of
Mississippi, and described the peace
that reigned i'm Georgia and the mis-
rule rampant in Mississippi.
Congressman Lamar followed. sec
ending Senator Gordou's effort. He
reviewed the politics of the State since
the war, held up to public scorn the
acts of the Republican party in Mis-
sissippi, aud fixed on Governor Ames
the blood of the coIored men killed
in the Vicksburg riots.

THE telegraph brings us startling
intelligence from Mississippi. From
all accounts it appears that o race
conflict was precipitated by the me-
groes ut a political barbecue. That
the latter were the aggrossors is
sufficiently proved by the facts as
reported BY the Geographic dis
patches. In the first place, there
were twelve hundred negroes on the
ground and only about fifty whites.
These latter would scarcely have
sought the difficulty under .circum-
stances which placed them at such
a numerical disadvantage. In the
second place the young man who
had the alteration with the negro
marginal, that led to the firing, sur
rendered 10 tho latter and was bru
tally murdered by tho enfuriated
mob of blacks. These two facts are
sufficient to show that the conflict
was unprecedented, at least on the
part of the whites.
The question would then natu-
rally arise, who were the instigators
&c this bloody scene? When we re.
fleet that occurrences of tins nature
are alinOst unknown in the South,
except on the eve Of elections; that
the negroes and whites are, as Q
general rule, on terms of the great
est friendship; that the negro retains
the greatest affection Cor his old
owner, who was in many INSTANCES
bis old associate; that an election is
shortly to be held in Mississippi;
that Governor Ames, worthy SON.
in-law of Benjamin +. Butler, re-
Gently said that few dead negroes
would help the party, even as the
blood of the martyrs helped the
church, when all these facts are
considered, IN hrejudiced minds can
not fell to place the solemn respon
sibiIity for these bloody crimes on
the head Of Adelbeet Ames and his
co-eriminals of tbo Republican
party Of Mississippi.

DALLAS. TEXAS.
SATURDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER II.

Now that tho Constitution Con-
vcntion is thoroughly organized and
ready for business, it is to be hoped
that they will go vigorously ana
earnestly to wark; and that no stone
will be left unturncd in the adoption
of measures that will rebound to
the public interest. Devise somc
means whereby the expenses OF our
courts may be curtailcd, and still
the ends Of justice met, and moro
speedily than has yet been the case
in Texas. 1t Is II notorious
fact that in tho larger
cities Of tho State, our jalls are
crowded with criminals from year to
year, at IN enormous expense to tho
counties in which they are situated
Another very important considera-
ton should be the provision for
Just and equitable usury law. Our
business men, and our bankers, too,
in u large number of cases, see ana
admit the necessity of such law.
That il would prove 10 us, us it has to
other States, just blessing, there
seems to be but little doubt. Let
the Convention do nothing that will
in any way injure tho credit OF
the State; but, on the other
hand. let all its acts look to her
credit, and to the final payment OF
every dollar she owes ut the earliest
possible moment Her finances can
be SO arranged asto meet her debts
Her credit now is far above that OF
any other State, and it should be
the pride OF her lawmakers to keep
it so, and make all her paper when
issued worth the money it calls for,
FROM Illc CHul uSlCI VI WV ''N' $500
compose the Convention, 1T is fair to
expect from them a Constitution
that will meet every demand as near
as it ia possible for such IN instru-
ment to meet the varied wants OF
our rapidly growing State; and if
the people do not get such Constl-
tuition their expectations VIII not
be realized. The probabilities are
that the Convention will not long
remain in session, but that they
will do their work quickly and
do it well. That the Constitution
will, when referred back to the peo-
pic, be confirmed, there is but little
doubt, for we cannot conceive that
such u body az composes this Con-
ycntjon would tramela Constitution
that the people would not at once
accept.
