a third of the nominating convention.

THE Chicago Tribune correspondent,
who was in Memphis few weeks since
"a Mr.. Thompson-cOn continues his let
tiers to that paper, and takes a very
gloomy view of the political situation in
the south, and processes to believe that
the Democratic leaders are only wait
ing their opportunity to establish new
southern confederacy." The Tribune is
constrained to confess that it publishes
these views ''merely as curiosities, and
disavows any sympathy or respect for
them" But would it not be better and
more praiseworthy in our contemporary
to recall the correspondent, and save us
and itself from the mess Of stuff for
which it has no Memphis APP
peal.
This fellow was the recipient of gen.
erous treatment by the press of this
State. We will venture to say that he
cannot give the name of any respectable
or sane man in the South, whose CONVEX
sation furnished him a reason for what
he is reported to have written. His con-
duct will serve as warning to our CO.
temporaries, and citizens generally, to be
on their guard against peripatetic cores
pondents in search Of sensational items
tor partizan use.

Good Nominations.

None but good nominations, the very
best, should be made by the opposers o
Radical misrule in this State for the
coming election. The popular heart anC
intelligence will invariably point to sucl
men; and when they are thus indicated,
they will not have the right to decline the
service. No man should thrust himself
forward and seek place when not called
for by clearly defined public preference.
Nobody has right to obtain nomina.
ton for Congress, simply as a personal
compliment unless he is able to do the
work of the canvass faithfully and we'll
The same remark will apply to the nomi-
nations for the Legislature. Improper
nominations are the bane Of any party
The personal fitness, availability and
qualifications of candidates are the prime
objects to be considered.

What the Policy Of Patience and
Cancellation il doing for
the South.

The Picayune is permitted to copy the
following extract from letter of lead
ing Republican of Utica, New York, to a
citizen of New Orleans:
THE address of the Bishop Of Louis
lana, "a Defense of Louisiana" was re-
ceived and read with great interest, and
l thank you for sending it TO me.
Its whole spirit is kind and conciliatory,
under sense If great trial and wrong
endured by the South, and especially by
Louisiana.
| have pretty carefully studied the
relations of the General Government to
that State since 1872, and wonder at the
patience of your people but patience is
having its perfect works producing its
legitimate result and, / believe, inspiring
the North with sentiments of respect that
will not fail in due time to produce the
best results.
Think the policy of the Administration
in respect 10 the South will be totally
changed, in view of the determined at
titude that prevails at the North in favor
Of fairness and equality. The case of
Senator o. Spencer, of Alabama, is
revelation that will not fail to exert
profound sensation and open many blind
eyes"

eight years ago by Ex-Gov. John j.
