Republican Meeting at Reese's Hall

About o'clock on Saturday evening the
"Hayseeds" began TO get together with
their torches and bob tall uniforms and
soon about l40 torches were in line, while
two drum corps pounded sheepskin at q
terrific rate to raise, if possible, some
enthusiasm in the ranks. The military
company with Chinese lanterns joined to
swell the crowd, uniformed with U. S.
infantry dress coats, eyiden y furnished
by the Rock Island Arsenal authorities.
After parading the streets for about an
hour, without increasing the number
already marching, they we're joined by the
Rock Island deleg alton, under the manage
ment of Mack Wiser and Eph Wood, to
the number of &c. boys included, and
finally halted in front of Chas. Reese S
where addresses were delivered by Mr.
Searle, of Chicago, and Mr.. Hawley, OF
Rock Island. The speeches were of the
same old style, reviving the old war issues
and appealing to the passions rather thar
the Judgment of those who composed the
audience. By desperate efforts, a few
cheers were finally sent up sounding more
like the spasmodio yell OF dishearteneC

Conservative Convention and confronted
by the Loague-Lswis fraternity, we see
something in it beyond a mere question
Of " salaries" and cannot hesitate for a
moment which side to take. 1t seems
that there are nearly six thousand voters
in Memphis who saw it in that light and
took the trouble to express themselves
most emphaticslly yesterday at the bal.
lot-box. A good General Council has
been elected. The new charter goes
fully into effect, and the people feel as.
sured that Mayor Flippin will thorough
ly acquaint himself with city affairs as
soon as possible; that be will select FIRST
class business men as advisors, and meet
the difficulties that present themselves
with q cool head, sound Judgment and a
firm hand. 1t is not likely that be will
sntagonizs the General Council in the
first few weeks, defy public sentiment, or
enter at any sime upon unnecessary lii-
cation or fruitless W~rangles. BE is like
ly to carry with him through his admin.
istrstion the moral support Of the better
part Of the community, which will
add greatly to his efficiency and
usefulness. The result is glorious
enough. It is a fit event with which
to inaugurate the centennial year,
showing that the people appreciate the
principles and the benefits Of free gov
eminent and are resolved that it shall
be purified and elevated rather than cor.
rupted and prostituted to base personal
uses. This is the message that Memphis
sends forth to the world; this the fixed
purpose Of Democrats, Conservatives
and Liberals of all parties; of white and
colOred citizens; of native and foreign
born, Jew and Gentle; Of all creeds,
%colors, n~stionalities, and honest, intelli-
gent freemen. There is a meaning in
this spontaneous outburst of the people
more significant than official emoluments
or personal preferences, which Office
holders and ofioe-brokers may consider
with profit. 1t conveys a great moral
lesson, which has found a permanent
Judgment upon the public mind.

sue bis unhappy ghost with a lot Of fol-
some resolutions. and, as they have no
ire-bells to ring. this may be we'll enough.
for even the best Of lawyers commit
some sins during life, and post mortem

auctions are generally of a melancholy

ing, but a set Of them just passed by

siderable comment. In the midst OF the

moter in Paris. An engineer of Mans,
NJ. Amedee Rollee, has patented a self
propelling carriage which goes simply
by steam. BE recently drove from Mans
to Paris, a distance Of 240 miles, in
eighteen hours,hi carriage weighing four
tons, and carrying twelve men. He
whizzed through Paris in daylight attract
ing the attention Of everybody except the
horses, who seemed to regard the car,
riage with no suspicion whatever. In.
deed, the horses probably wondered in
their hearts why such a machine had not
been invented before. NJ. Rollee guides
his carriage as he would a horse, sitting
in front. The boiler is placed in the back,
and there are four cylinders placed two
by-two between the four wheels. The
Parisians, who 60 crazy over every new
sensation, expect to see their streets full
Of steam carriages soon of all sorts, and
