The Common Sense Of IL.

NuotNahVVsd Aluuebg 10
There is no reason 10 the world why
the RUSSELL men who attended the
convention last Saturday should feel
insulted or chagrined at the action
taken. No insult was meant. and il
would be exceedingly foolish to assume
that such was the case. Those gentle
men certainly knew that they we're
going to attend a Democratic conven
ton, and they could not reasonably
have expected any other action than
that which was taken.
1t has not been long since the gen
tlemen who compose the bolt believed
in the old Democratic maxim that
majorities should rule; and even now
there are a vast majority OF Democrats
who do actually believe in the wisdom
of the maxim. 1t is also a fair infer
enoe to say that majorities are just
about as sincere and well grounded in
their convictions as are minorities.
We know of no divinity or supreme
moral stamina inherent in mlnorities
that are not to be found in majorities
In fact. it is a homely precedent
established by our old time father
that the liability to err being equally
distributed to each individual mortal
there is more likelihood that a pa
triotic and wise result will be attained
by a conference ofthe many than in the
disappointed plottings OF a few. 1t is
also an old time principle that the
people have a right to assemble them
selves together for the purpose Of
de, laring their opinions and promul-
eating their views through petitions
memorials and declarations of rights
and they have always done these
things without being charged with
desiring to insult those who preferred
to differ with them in the matters
about which they sought to take
steps. These are old fashioned truths,
but they are those upon which are
founded the stability of our institu
tions and, because Of their antiquity,
they are none the less true and wise,
nor on that account do they antago-
nize progressiveness and national ad.
vancement.
The vast majority of the Demo.
crat party in the State, assembled in
convention at Nashville on the 10th
Of June and issued a manifesto of
principles, in the ratification of which
the party has almost unanimously
concurred, But dissenting from the
will ofthat vast majority were a few
gentlemen who set up a contrary view
and insisted that if that majority
would not consent to yield up their
convictions and survilcly surrender to
a small minority. then there would be
a bolt. Accordingly upon tho adop-
ton of a platform, an inconsiderable
number Of gentlemen left the conven-
ton and afterwards adopted a plat.
form antagonizipg that adopted by the
Democratic party. They refused the
overtures for harmony and declined
to act in concert with the party.

THE ASSASSINATION OF ma.
BLIsS.
Action Of the Citizens OF Ger
mantOwn ia Public Meeting.

GERNANTOwS, TENN, Oct. l6, 1882
EDITOR LEDeER-At a meeting of the
citizens Of the Eleventh Civil District Of
Shelby county, held at Germantown on
the l6thinstant todevise ways and means
for the apprehension and conviction of the
murderer of our fellow-citizen, j. w.
Bliss, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That in the assassination Of
our late fellow-citizen, J.W. Bliss, a great
and fragrant wrong has been put upon us as
= law-abiding and Christian community,
rs well as a fearful feeling of insecurity for
our own lives.
Resolved, That a contribution be at
once started for the purpose Of offering 4
reward for the capture Of the assassin.
Resolved, That Gov. Hawkins be and is
hereby petitioned and earnestly requested
to offer such a reward for the apprehon-
sion Of the assassin as in his Judgment may
seem right and proper.
Resolved. That the newspapers of tho
city of Memphis be respectfully requested
to publish the foregoing resolutions.
Mr.. Bliss was one Of our oldest and most
respected citizens. He was cruelty assas-
sinated in his own house between | and 2
o'clock in the morning. He was never
known to have a difficulty with any one.
He was nearly sixty years Of age, and was
conspicuous for his quiet and gentle
manners. This is one Of the most unpro-
voked and infamous murders that has
eyer stained the name of Shelby county.

MET ans MATCH.
A Hickman HumiIiated by His
Horses.

Thare were five mighty mad hackmen
and five pair of equally happy horses last
night. Everybody knows that it is a
physical impossibility tc drive a team OF
hack horses without something more than
the persuasive voice of u Memphis hack
man. Even his variegated profanity is
insufficient to stir a hack horse to action
unless supplemented by something a little
more substantial. Memphis hack horses
are as proverbial for theirmoral depravity
as their masters. All of this must have
been known to Robert Holloway, who,
il a thief, is certainly a practical
joker Of the most accomplished type.
Robert took advantage Of the excitement
a steam whistle always rouses in the
bosom of the hackman, and at the Charles
ton depot last night he quietly pilfered
the whips from FIVE hacks and hied him
away. Five hackmen secured loads and
mounted boxes, and five hackmen smiled,
But the sunshine on their faces suddenly
gave way to gloom, and the atmosphere
became filed with sulphur. Two of them,
who had a greater supply of birthstone in
their constitutions than the rest, finally
scared their horses into a dead march, two
more used their boot heels to advantage,
but the fifth found all his threats and en-
treaties u~navailing. He cussed awhile
and then begged pitfully, but all to no
purpose. The OF horse would OCCASION
ally switch his tail and look around in
Quiringly at the empty whipstock, while
the other, it is said, actually smiled softly
to himself aud onoe or twice giggled out
load. The hackman tried 10 remember u
prayer, and got as far as Nov / lay me-
when the old gentleman in the hack
wanted TO know what was the matter, and
the words died away on his lips. The
depot was by this time deserted, dark and
dreary, and.the hickman got down, went
to the heads Of his horses and regarded
them with silent awe. His lofty spirit
was subdued by the grim determinations
of these scrawny beasts. He looked each
one in the eye, but read only the sternest
resolution there. They were not smiling
now, but met his gaze with steady,
adamantine eyes. Even the blind eye OF
the off horse seemed to beam with an I'M
wonted luster, and it was plain that the
ever-before-conquered hackman had met
his equals at last. His tone was soft now
and his eyes dim with emotion as he
gently grasped the bride and led those
horsts to his passengers destination.
