OLIVER, FINNIE& CO LOCAL FARAGKAPHS. The general council will meet at the city hall at the uual hour this afternoon. Lime was scattered along the street irut tera by the boartl of health ear'y yesterday morning. Sixty-nine prisoners are spending the summer months at the county jail. The j'dil is kept thoroughly disinfected. Yellow-fever mk"S no difference in the Louisiana Stito lottfry drawing, which will come off on Tuesday next, the thirteenth in stant. One of the first open bolls of colton ar rived in the city yesterday from the farm of K. A. Hanson, who retidts near Barik-U, in this county. The republicans will hold a mass con vention in this city next Saturday week, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the gu bernatorial and congressional conventions. Coroner Cildwell is ex officio sheriff of Shelby county at present, and will remain so until the sheriff elect, J. W. Anderson, qual ifier, gives bond and takes his seat, in Sep tember. The remains of the Lite Sheriff C. L. Anderson will be takn to Elmwood, from the Memphis and Charleston depot, at four o'clock this afternoon, on the arrival of the special train. Yellow-fever makes no diff rence with the Louisiana State l ittery drawing, which will come off on Tuesday next, the thirteenth instant. Monday is the iat day on which tickets can bei purchased. A special train will leave the Memphis and Charleston railroad d'pot at on o'clock, this atternoou tor the remains ot C. L An derson, returning at lour o'clock this evening. Friends are invited to attend. The coolest place in the city in the fore noon is Front street, t ut in the atternoon when the suu is sinking in the west, and the heat is reflected from thesnrtace of the bright river, it w about the hottest locality in the village. The National central club, composed of thirty delegates from the ci'y. and eighteen from the county, met in t-ecret ses-ion last nivht, and, by the light of a dark-lanti rn. selected delegates to their Stats convention cf the twenty-ninth instant Several star-Hazing citizTS took rides on watermelon riods which adorned the side walks jesterday, the rinds having been thrown there by white and black mackerels. Hiding on a watermelon rind would b pleas ant enough provided you could tegulate the direction and the velocity. Sunday next, at eight o'clock in the fvemng, ttie bell ot St. Joseph's Catholic church, on Georgia street, South Memphis, will be consecrated. The tw-il calls the faith ful to prayer around the altar, and it is cus tomary to consecrate the bell to God by anointing it amid imposing ceremonies. Wat Vecton, colored, left New Orleans Wednesday last, and eot off the train of the Mississippi and Tenne.'see railroad at Whitehaven and walked into Memphis. He wai-larrested Lere bj Oftietr Coilt n. He says he lives out at the tact ry lot, in Chelsea, and works at old man Folk's, on Poplar street. The quarantine breaker was stripped of a new suit of clothing, which was burned. He was given an old suit, and was sent out of town, by order of the chief of police. Last evening a white woman, named Mrs. Wolf, died in hr room in the Webster block, oa Alain street, in rather a suspicious and sudden manner. Enquire Spelman held an inquest on the body, when the following facts were elicited : The woman had been in the habit of taking morphine for some seven ears past. Yesterday she became sick and IS PLODS ! constantly went out for morphine. It wa-s not given her, and death ensued. The jury return-'U a verdict of death from the efi' cl of nij:phine. The deceased has relatives resid ing in the southern pott ion of the city, Ve-?erd.iy a!fernon a party of emi yviints from Sou'h Carolina, n roult tor A kaij.a, came t-. the city cu the five o'clock lx)uisville train. On anivirg they discov ered that on" of the party, a youth of tender ax-, was missing. '1 he last seen of him was Mime d. stance from the city, where he was observed in one of the tars. His loss could not be accounted tor, and treat distress pre vailed among ths emigrant. A telegram was sent up the line making inquiries, it be ing supto-ed that the. boy got cM at some sta tion end was left by the train. Nothing was hear 1 of th misting youth up to a late hour last evening. We have ben shown the prospectus of a book now in I n , written by James D. Lynch, which is devoted to a vindication of the i,t-ople of Mississ ippi and the whole Dem ocratic party against the villainou:, slanders perpetrated by J. M. Wells, and others, who have painted the Kemper county affair in colors to suit their own designs upon the peo ple ot Mississippi. Mr. Lynch s book will contain a truthful and thrilling account of the terrible scenes enacted in Kemper county while under K.idical rule, and will show the existeuce at that time of a state of affairs in that county almost as incredible as tales of rornauce. It will be neatly bound in cloth, will contain about five hundred pajres, and will be sold by subscription at two dollars per copy. They make some fast time on the old Charleston railroad yet. Last Wednesday, when Dr. W. E Rogers was telegraphed tor to go to Germantown to visit Sheriff Ander son, Mr. U. M. Butford, mahter of machinery of the road, received orders to dispatch a lo comotive to Germantown as soon as possible. In twenty minutes the locomotive was started, with Dr. Rogers on the tender, and J. E. Ciin acting as engineer. The run was m;ide to Germantown, a distance of fifteen miles, id eighteen minutes. There are sev eral sharp curves on the route, which required fie engineer to slacken up occasionally. Old engineers say this is the fastest time ever made between Memphis and Germantown. The engineers and locomotives of the Charles ton railroad can yet make crack time when ever necessary. The affairs of the sheriff's office are in perfect condition. Those having money com ing to them can secure it on application at 'he office pf Deputy Sheriff Ben K. Pnllen. All accounts are made up, and settlements with all parties are earnestly desired. The books are ready for settlement, and money is in hand to pay off all claims. This is grati fying newB. It shows how the late Sheriff Anderson transacted official business. Sher iff Anderson's private aff-tirs are in quite a prosperous condition. He was out ot debt, owned a tine farm and an elegant residence at Germantown, besides having money in band and a large amount of fees qf office yet to be collected. Sheriff Anderson had, it is understood, a life insiav.uce policy for seven thousand dollars. PERSONAL. Mrs. W. It. Smitii is on a visit to her dauchter in Kentucky. Mr. Robert Gates, of the Jackson (Tenn.) Tribune and Sun, is in the city. Judge James A. Anderson was made the recipient of a prize girl-baby on Wednes day last. Captain J. W. Leech, editor of the Rip saw, of May Geld, Kentucky, is in the city, en rout for Texas. Visitors at the cotton exchange yesterday were: Alex Proud fit, Macon, Georgia; B. M. Sherrill. Louisville; Hugh B. M'Cauley, New York City. II Kb. E. L. Belcjier and children left the city yesterday by rail for Oconomowoc, Wis consin, to spend the remainder of the sum mer. Captain Ed Belcher is now keeping b t.h with all the dignity of his nature. Major Mike Waldron, assistant-superintendent of the postal railway service, re turned from Raleigh epringa yesterday, quite recovered from his recent serious illness. He leaves in a dav or tsvo for Alabama and Geor g a on postal business. NEW rUJJLICATIONS. A Heart Twice Won, by Elizabeth Tan Loon, just published by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia, mmt hit the public taste, and be a brilliant Buccess. That it is by a new writer is very evident; it is equally obvious, from the delicacy and force with which the plot has been framed and worked out to a legitimate conclusion, as well as from the development of the respective charac ters, that a young lady is the author. It is pure as wtll as passionate. Moreover, the incidents, sometimes startling, are put together in tae most skillful manner, and by a master-hand, all within the legitimate limit of probability. We advise all to get this remarkable book. Henry Greville's new book, and most dramatic and most powerful novel, and the one that established her fame in Europe, is Savelis Expiation, now in press and to be published in a few days by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia. It is a faithful por trayal of Russian despotism in the time of serfdom; and although the character on which the plot rests is strongly drawn, it is not overdrawn, but is true to the times and situation, for the pictures of Russian life are drawn in a manner which would only have beea acquired through actual observation and experience. Powerful as it is, it is free from exaggeration, while a pathetic, tender love story is presented for relief. This novel shows more power and wonderful concentration than any the author has written; the discriptions are so vivid, and the characters and surround ings presented with such clearness and strength, that one is carried to the very3cene and leels the atmosphere. Henry Greville, indeed, is a charming and exquisite writer. It will be issued in uniform style and price with Theo, Kathleen, Gabrielle and Aftss Crespigny, published by the same firm. LOCAL NOTICES.

What the Mew Orleanii Picm Maya la- ntrortlonn ilven by Or. Choppln, of the Xeir Orleans Board of Health The Fever at Wal vrntoa. The Muperintendeat of the Pontal Kerv ire and the Hnraeon-dieneral Heard from Covington, Tenn.. Asks for Information Onr Own Hoard of Health. The New Orleans Citv Item, of the sixth contains the following: "Is it yellow-fever? Such is the question which doctors and citi zens frequently ak each other, and on which they are by no means likely to come to a common understanding, lne doctors espe cially disagree, soiue asserting that the pre vailing disease is a pronounced form of yellow-fever, while others contend that the fever is simply miasmatic, and is attributable to filthy streets, extreme heat and periodical moisture. In furtherance of this latter view it is urged that yellow-fever does not attack children born here, nor colored people, whether born here or not; whereas the ex isting fever is indiscriminate in its attacks, and is specially severe on children and col ored people. There may be some genuine cases of yellow-fever here, but according to the pros and cons in the argument the pre vailing sickness is of a malarial type, and being local it laughs at quarantine. The opinion of the maj'ority inclines to the theory of a local origin of the fever, caused by the disturbance of deposits of filth and the humidity of the atmosphere. Care ful observations of the atmospherical condi tions here and at Havana are recommended in aid of the discovery of the germ, which, as yet, has defied the skill of the medical fraternity. The fever has attained such an area that carbolic-acid is almost ineffectual in checking its spread, for the reason that it is not carefully used around infected premi ses. Dr. Choppin will not allow reporters to take new cases of yellow-fever hereafter, the publication having, it is alleged, an injuri ous effect upon the community." The St. Louis Post eays: "New Orleans seems to have done all that lay in her power to invite the yellow-fever, and the only won der about the present visitation is that it is not more severe. The negligence of the au thorities in allowing the deadly filth to accu mulate in the streets is something inexpli cable'. The city has already lost by the di version of her trade tea times as much as it would have cost her to keep clean, and the payment in other ways has boen correspond ingly heavy." NEW ORLEANS BOARD QF HEALTH. The New Orleans board of health has is sued the following respecting the incipient treatment of yellow-fever: "The onset is more apt to be sudden and violent than that of the other fevers which prevail here, and apt to occur at night. Frequently, but not invariably, a chill precedes the fever. There is violent pain in the forehead at the begin ning, soon followed by severe pains in the lower part of the back. The eyes are red and glistening. Any individual affected as above described should immediately go home, go to bed, and send for a physician without delay. Without waiting for his arrival a hot foot bath should be taken, and perspiration en couraged by warm drinks and a moderate cover in bed. If there should be any delay in the arrival of the physician, a simple mir- gattve should be taken; and if the attack comes on soon after eating, an emetic of ipe cac or mustard would be advisable. Prompt treatment is of the utmost importance in this disease, id it should be understood that persons ought not to walk about after falling sick, nor get up at all after once going to bed, until the attack is over. Those who have not had the fever should avoid the localities known to be infected, and should stay in their houses as much as possi ble during the night. Preventive medicines are useless, and free alcoholic potations are the worst preparation for encountering the fever. Regular habits, tranquillity of mind, and moderation in ail things should be ob served. If any have determined to leave tne city, they should do so before they have ren dered themselves liable to contract the fever, for it would be much safer to go through it here at home than away among strangers. It is recommended that all articles of cloth ing taken from a patient's person be put in a five per cent, solution of Calvert's No. 5 car bolic acid. All discharges from a patient's body should also bo treated with carbolic acid, together with any articles soiled by the same. As a further precaution and to aid the board of health in their efforts for prevention, it is recommended to all householders, as far as tbey are able to do so at their own expense, whether there be cases of yellow-fever on the premises or not, to disinfect frequently their privy vaults and drains, and also the street gutters. A suitable agent for this purpose, being both efficient and eco nomical, is a solution of copperas and car bolic acid in water, in the proportion of three pounds of copperas and one-half pint of Cal vert's No. S carbolic acid to a bucket of wa ter. In case Calvert's No. 5 cannot be obtained, Page's crude acid may be used one and a half pints in a bucket of water, and thoroughly stirred up. It is further rec ommended that the coffins of inJividuals who have died of yellow-fever should be closed at the earliest possible moment, and in the room where death occurred. The public generally are earnestly dissuaded from attending the funerals of jellow-fever patients, unless cir cumstances imperatively demand. These measures of domestic disinfection are consid ered of great importance, and the board of health urge their general observance upon the public. sam'l choppin, m d.. President Board of Health. YELLOW FEVER SYMPTOMS AT GALVESTON. The Austin (Texas) Gazette, of the third, eives the particulars of an interview had with Dr. Heard, of Galveston, Texas, as to the yellow-fever: "Dr. Burns called Dr. Heard's attention to the daily presence of a reddish yellow canopy in tne shape of a cloud floating above the city. Dr. Heard had noticed this phenomenon on approaching the city, but had ascribed it to natural causes. He was informed, however, that this cloud had pre ceded the epidemic, and had steadily re mained above the city since the prevalence of yellow-jack. The symptoms of the disease are most unusual, the fever period being much shorter than heretofore, and unac companied by many of the accepted charac teristics of the disease. Yellow-fever here tofore ha3 usually manifested great pains in the head, back aud legs of the afflicted. These pains do not accompany the present type, but every patient whom Dr. Heard had an opportunity of questioning complained of violent pains in the stomach and nowhere else. There is also an absence of the usual flush; the fever ranges extremely low; rapid sinking sets in quickly, and hemorrhage and black vomit follow in a very short space of time. The most infallible test of the disease is an extraordinary deposit of albumen in the urine. Dr. Heard gives it as his opinion that the disease cannot lie controlled in New Or leans; that it must break through the cordons in that city, and must eventually spread, in dependent of contact. He f urther states that it is the most malignant type of yellow-fever he ever saw." UNITED STATES OFFICIALS. A special to the New York Ilerald, from Washington, dated August 4th, says: "The superintendent of the postal service, in reply to inquiries, said that if the yellow-fever should continue to be epidemic at New Or leans he would adopt the same mode of transferring the mails that was carried out in Florida last year during the prevalence of the fever at St. Augustine and other points. The mails at that time were taken to a se lected place, a few miles beyond the infected district, and there unloaded and left; then placed in wagons and conveyed to the train, thus avoiding all possibility of contact with persons who might possibly spread the dis ease The opinion of the superintendent, however, is that there will probably be a modification of the existing regulations gov erning quarantine at New Orleans, in which event the necessity of carrying out this tedi ous plan will be obviated." Dr. Woodward, surgeon-general of the United States marine hospital service, on being interviewed, said in response to the following inquiries: "What do you think of the land quaran tines established against New Oi leans?" "Quarantine by land, beyond disinfecting the clothing or effects of vassengers, is, in my opinion, impracticable, if not nseless. In this opinion I do not take into account the harm done to commerce. The sick of yellow-fever do not communicate the disease. The yellow fever poison may be transported in the cloth ing or effects of passengers, especially if con fined in trunks or boxes; but its favorite lurking-place is in the damp, filthy holds and bilge-water of ships, where, if confined, it multiplies and increases in virulence to such an extent as not only to affect those on board, but even to exert its rernicious influence in the direction of the currents of air to a con siderable distance." "Are the quarantines of the southern porta efficient?" "Many of them cannot be as now managed. If a vessel is infected, every person should be removed from it; the vessel should be thor oughly disinfected and then scrubbed inside and outside, and then disinfected again. In this way a vessel can be returned tocommerce in twenty-four hours in a healthy condition, as is done at .New l ork. At many ot the quar antines of this country there are no facilities for providing for the sick or well of an in fected vessel, and they are accordingly re tained on the vessel, which is the condition most favorable for propauatiDg the poison. and not only exposes all on board, but every one who comes near the vessel. "Do you think yellow-fever can le con' tracted from letters? Galveston has forbid den the entry into that city of the New Or leans mails." "1 do not think there is an? danirer from letters. I receive letters from Havana and other yellow-fever-infected districts every week, and never think of any danger, there is none." COVINGTON ASKS FOR INFORMATION. Covington. Tenn,, August 8, 187S. To the Board of Health. Dr. D. D. Saunders, Presi dent, Memphis, Tennessee: Gentlemen We, the undersigned, citi zens of Covington, Tennessee, would most respectfully request ot your honorable board to publish in the city papers, for the use and benefit of citizens in the country surrounding Memphis: First The different kinds of cheap disinfectants and prevent ives. Second The remedies to be UBed in the event the fever is taken by persons. By so doing you will confer on mankind not only a favor, but a never-to-be-forgotten blessing: J Lowanhaupt, W.

Moore. As to the remedies. Dr. Choppin's instruc tions, emanating from the New Orleans board of health, and published above, are excellent, as are also his instructions as to disinfectants, and the same agents are in use by our board of health. In addition, our board of health sprinkles lime along the street-gutters, and citizens sprinkle it freely in their cellars and around their premises generally. All refuse and garbage should be removed daily from premises. In all suspected case3 of yellow fever send for the best physicians as soon as possible. THE MEMPHIS BOARD OF HEALTH. Quarantine by rail and river continues to be enforced strictly against infected districts south. The city is being rapidly placed in a good 'sanitary condition; the corps of the board is at worK daily throughout the city. cleansing the gutters, streets and alleys, and enforcing the sanitary rules and regulations. Mo case ot yellow-fever haa appeared up to late last night, and the health board feels confident that the fever can be kept out of the city this season. .Many communications have been received by the Loard from persons in the infected districts asking permission to come to or to pass through Memphis, but these requests have been refused, no excep tion being made in favor of any. A 8ERIOUS'REIGHT QUESTION. Information has been received by Colonel M. Liurke, superintendent of the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad, that the authorities at Grenada prohibit the unloading of all New Orleans freights at that town. It ronse quence of this there is serious embarrassment relative to certain JNew York freights shipped by steamer to New Orleans, and now en route by rail to this city and for Memphis merchants. Several days ago the board of health had to rescind the order prohibiting freight on the railroad coming into this city, and stopping it at Whitehaven, because the people there threatened to destroy it unless removed. This very serious question. The freight now en route from New Orleans to Memphis, merchants amounts to forty or fifty thousand dollars in value. The board determined to prevent the freiaht coming to Memphis and ordered it to be unloaded at Mitchell's tank, five miles south of the city, where it will be kept ten days and disin fected before brought into the city. OUR QUARANTINE STATION. The following letter from Dr. Laurence was read and filed yesterday: Quarantine Station, August 7, 1878. J. H. Ersklne, M.D., Health Officer: Dear Sir I have examined the steamer John A. Scudder carefully, and find one case of fever Mrs. Bleakly, from New Orleans (within one and half squares of the infected district), on her way to St. Louis. A Mr. Duffy was put off at Ketuge, Mississippi, said to have been sicfc all the way from New Or leans. Our gunner, John Brockinger, left to-day, although told expressly that he could not do so. Send a keg of powder and fifteen flannel-bags, also ice, at once. Respect fully, A. A. LAURENCE. quarantine onicer. The police are oa the lookout for persons who are attempting to break the quarantine by vail. If they are captured they will be severely dealt with. The railroads and river front are watched closely by the police, de tectives and citizens, for all violators of quar antine regulations. BCOCKADE RUNNERS. At eleven o'clock last night Police Ser geant Homan was on the landing between Adams and Washington streets, where he discovered a skiff' rapidly approaching the shore. The boatman was usinx muffled oars, and was slipping to the bank. In the siff were four or five persons. Just then a po liceman blew a whistle, and at once the skiff was headed out in the stream, and it was propelled rapidly but noiselessly down the river. The police followed the skiff down be low the elevator, wherj it disappeored in the darkness, making for below Fort Pickering. A squad of police was sent down to arrest the party, should they make a landing. It is be lieved that the passengers got off of the steamer Paris C. Brown, which passed up from New Orleans yesterday, and that they got off somewhere above the islands and secured the services of a fisherman to row them back to the city last night. Should they be arrested, they will be punished to the full extent of the quarantine law, and an ex ample will be made of them. The police have an inkling as to the identity of the blockade runners, they having been heard, while the Paris Brown lay ia frontof the city taking on coal, swearing that they would be in Mem phis before midnight. A MEMPHIS LADY Insulted by a Little Rock Haekman' wbo, at her Instance, was Arrested and Held for Trial. Little llock Gazette: W. A. Woods, a hack driver, was arrested yesterday on the com plaint of a lady, who charged him with in ducing her to take a ride in his hack and conveying her to the outskirts of the city, and there insulting her. The lady, whose name we suppress for obvious reasons, was en route for Memphis, in company with her child, a girl of some eight years of age, and was detained at the Union depot. She alleges that she was approached oy Woods, who urged her, as it would be several hours be fore the train for Memphis would leave, to take a drive about the city. Her little girl being anxious to co, she finally consented, with the above result. Woods was arrested upon a warrant which was sworn to by the lady, and, after undergoing a preliminary ex amination by Justice Howe, was committed to jail in default of five hundred dollars bail. He had only been in the city a few days, and it is but justice to the Jehus of th's city that they not only universally disown ail fellow ship with Woods, but we have yet to hear of the first instance where any of them have in sulted a lady passenger. To those who wish to f ree themselves of the mosquitoes and heat of the city, the Mem phis and Charleston railroad will sell, for the Somerviile train, leaving at six o'clock, p.m., and the regular mail train, leaving at mid night on Saturdays, round trip tickets to any station on its line, good to return until the following Monday, inclusive, at one fare for the round trip. This arrangement will be continued during the remainder of the "heat ed term," and will enable many of our good people, whose business will not admit of a more protracted absence, to wake a short trip to the country, which will prove very re freshing and beneficial to them.

A Large and Thoroughly llepresentallve Gathering of the Hank and File of the Tart j Selection of Delegates from the Wards and Dis tricts to the State Con vention. Adoption or a Platform that Expresses the Views of the Majority on the Greenback Question, the Set tlement of the State Debt and a Mechanics' Lien Law. Pursuant to a call made by the Shelby county Democratic executive committee, a mass convention was held at the criminal court-room yesterday at eleven o'clock for the purpose ot selecting delegates to attend the gubernatorial convention, to be held at Nashville on Thursday, the fifteenth instant There was quite a large as.-emblage of resi dents, both white and colored, of the city and county in attendance tiepublicans. Nation' alists, and representative Democrats who be' beved in party organization, and in fighting the enemy at all points from Shelby to Carter county. Mr. W. L. ClapD. chairman of the execu tive committee, called the meeting to order and stated the obiect of the call. Colonel Luke i inlay nominated Hon. R. J Morgan as chairman of the convention. The nomination wis made unanimous. CHAIRMAN MORGAN'S SPEECH. Judge Morgan was conducted to the stand amid applause. He stated the objects of the convention, viz: lo elect delegates to .Nash ville, oreanize for the coming campaign, and elect a Democratic governor. In Shelby county the Democratic party has fallen before the foe, but the old Volunteer State of lennessee has never succumbed to the enemy since the days ot enfranchisement, and the Democrats still intend to bear aloft the banner ot the victo rious Democracy. Local combinations may be made to defeat the Democracy, but the principles ot ihomas Jetterson are immuta ble and must prevail. Be not cast down by unnatural combinations. Let us show to the people of these United States that the De mocracy of Tennessee intends to be success ful. Judse Morgan gave a brief history of the progress and success ot the Democratic party since the war, and his remarks were greeted with applause, the people or this section will respond to the appeals made by the Democrats ot the north, south, east and west. Is greenbacks the issue i The Demo cratic is the only party in existence that has supported the greenback question. All the prosperity to this country must come through, the Democratic party. The greenback party of this country might naturally come into the tola ot the Democratic party, which is a pow ertul organization, impossible to break uown or destroy. Oppression and opposition but untold its latent omnipotence. Judge Mor gan added that so long as he was on the chancery bench he abstained from speech making, but now that he had become a pri vate citizen, he would be heard from in sup port of the principles of his party. Loud applause. On motion, Mr. J. D. Stewartj'wa3 elected secretary, assisted by the members of the press present. COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS. Judge T. W. Brown moved that a commit tee of seven bo appointed to draft resolutions tor the convention. the motion was adopt ed. The committee was as follows: Judge 1. VV. rirown. M. C. Gallaway, J. A. Snane, J. J. Duffy, J. R. Goodwin, W. F. Taylor, W. f. Wilson. DISCUSSION ON RESOLUTIONS. A motion was made to refer all resolutions to the above committee. General Luke E. Wright proposed to offer a series of resolutions. Colonel George R. Phelan opposed the res olution to submit all resolutions to a commit tee. He wanted the young men to come to the front, and he want-id a tree and open dis cussion, lie wanted no resolution smothered in a committee. He wanted young and new blood mtnsed into the party. Oueers.I Judge Brown said that if all the resolutions were not submitted to the committee it would look like a want of confidence in the commit tee, and he would not wish to be placed in such an embarrassing position. He favored young men being in the front. He was a young man himself. ILaughter.l General Luke E. Wright read and offered a preamble and series of resolutions, which were greeted with applause and 6eut to the committee on resolutions. Major Minor Meriwether presented and read a series ot resolutions ot tne greenback school, which, were also sent to the commit tee. Colonel George It. Phelan introduced the following resolutions, which were also re ferred to the committee: Remitted, That we are unalterably opposed to the employment of convict labor. In any manner, which may compete with the honest workingtnen of tbls State. Krmlvttf, That we are solemnly pledged to the passage of a lien law which sh ill absolutely secure to the laborer the payment of his wages; and also a repeal or an laws permuting a stay or execution upon any juagmem ioi Wiiges. Captain C. W. Frazer offered some reso lutions on the subject of the State debt, and these were also referred. On motion. Messrs. J. M. Crews and J. P, Gentry, from the country, were added to the committee on resolutions. Colonel Luke Finlay stated that in the late judicial convention the bases of representa tion was one for every one hundred or frac tion over, this would give Shelby county eighty-hve delegates. Colonel John Donovan moved that a com mittee of five be called to make the appoint ment as to wards and districts. Carried, and the following committee was appointed by the chairman. Messr3. John Donovan, II. L. Priddy, M. D. li. btewart, bam Jones, W. L. (Jlapp. Judge Y ked that Colonel George Gantt be requested to offer his resolutions on the State debt question. Colonel Gantt stat ;d that he had sent the resolutions to the ccuumittee. COLONEL GANTT'S SPEECH. Colonel Gantt, on being called upon to make a speech, said that he was slightly dis figured, but he was still in the ring. He was fully aware that the other day a train ran off the track, but they were here to-day to put it back. They lost the offices in a local election, but they saved their principles, their honor, their banner, and the Dtuiocracy was now strongpr than ever, and more determined to succeed than ever. He believed in one sort of money for all, for the bondholder and the blacksmith, for the rich and the poor, for the white ms.n and the black mau. The Demo cratic party wished to aid the people. The National party makes mouths at the Demo cratic party, but the latter intended to do the National party good, and to make the Na tional and Republican party hew to the line, let the chips tall where they may. Let them now hew to the line; the Democratic party will see that they do it. Cheers. He be lieved that thirty-three and one third per cent, cf the principal of the debt, with three per ceut. interest, is sufficient to offer the State bondholders as acompromise; and he believed that, should the legislature be able to secure such compromise, that the Battlement should then be submitted to a vote of the people. The oppression of the bonded debt of the land has aroused the people, and has evoked he hydra-headed mons'er, the commune. But, the other day, the commune raised its head in Faneuil hall, in the cradle of liberty. Here is the danger that must be met in some way. The bondholders must be made to ac cept this compromise of thirty-three and one third per cent. These cormorants must be stayed. This will stop the bondholder on the one hand, and the commune on the other, and as the thing is always test in the middle, the people will secure relief between these two oppressors. One hundred and thirty thousand dollara in mandamuses were served on the city yesterday by the bondholders. The supreme court of the United States fol lowed the decisions of the State supreme courts when it suited them, but when it did not the supreme court called such decisions "oscillations." He wanted a law passed com pelling the supreme court to recognize and follow the decisions of the supreme court of the States on local matters. Cheers. Col onel Gantt closed his speech in an eloquent peroration as to the greatness, glory and power of the Democratic party, and its suc cess in the future, which was received with great applause by the convention. THE APPORTIONMENT. The committee on apportionment came in at this time and reported that they had adopted as a basis the vote cast for W. B. Bate, elector for S. J. Tilden in the last Pres idential election, and give one delegate for every one hundred votes and one for every fraction over fifty and under one hundred. This tfives each ward the following represen- i , tation: First, 5 delegates; second, 7; third, (9; fourth, 9; fifth, 4; sixth, 4; seventh, 3; ' eighth, 6; ninth, 4; tenth, 4; first district, 2; '. second, 2; third, 2; fourth, 2; fifth, 2; sixth, 3; seventh, ."; eighth, 2; ninth, 3; tenth, 2; flpvpnth. 1: twelfth 1: thirteenth. 2: four- ! teenth, 2; fifteenth, 2; sixteenth, 1; seven teenth, 1; eighteenth, 1. The rt port was unanimously adopted. A recess of twenty minutes was taken, so as to enable each ward aud district to consider and report its delegates. All Democrats, white or colored present were requested by Chair man Morgan to meet with their respH;tive wards or districts. It was remarked during recess by many Nationalists who were present, Ex-Mayor Loague included, that the conven tion was more like a people's convention than a Democratic one; that they were pleased with the spirit of the speeches made, with the resolutions, and the general good feeling which seemed to exist in the convention. The Session Krnumed. The convention was called to order by Chairman Morgan, and the secretary read out the following list of delegates as pre sented by the wards and districts: CITY DELEGATES.

Judge Orville Yerger moved that the dis tricts not reported be allowed to appoint del egates and report to the secretary of the con vention. Adopted. Colonel Joseph Patterson said he was at the judicial convention, at Nashville, and he discovered that when the Shelby county del egates were split up, they got nothing. The delegates should be a unit on all matters, and he moved that the convention instruct the dulegates to vote as a unit and act harmoni ously. The resolution was unanimously adopted. It was ruled that where vacancies occur and proxies have to be selected, that the al ternates have precedence. RE)LUTIONS OF RESPECT. Judge Orville Yerger introduced a series of resolutions with reference to the death of the late Sheriff C. L. Anderson. Judge Yerger presented the resolutions in a brief but elo quent speech, and paid a well-deserved trib ute to the memory of the lamented de ceased. Ex-Mayor Johnson seconded the resolu tions, which were also seconded by the chair man, Judge Morgan, in a few appropriate remarks. General Gordon made an address, compli mentary of the deceased as a citizen and faith ful public officer. The resolutions, as follows, were unani mously adopted : Whereas, The members r f this convention have tbls mornlna heard with orofonnd erlef of (he death of Charles L. Anderson, late sherllf of Shelby coun ty; ineretore, Rexolixxi, That the county of Shelby, In his death, has lost one of the most efficient and faithful of ficers the county baa ever had; that we take this oc casion to express our great regrets at his sudden de mise, and that we extend to his family the condo lence cf the county, through this meeting, at their great bereavement. Jtesolvcd, That a copy of these resolutions be fur nished his family and be published In the papers of this city. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS. Judge T. W. Brown, chairman of the com mittee, reported the following preamble and series of resolutions: Whereas, We, the Democracy of Shelby county, have assembled for the purpose ot selecting dele gates to attend the gubernatorial convention, to nieet in Nashville on the titu-enth Instant; and whereas, that convention will. In accordance with established precedent, enunciate a platform of prin ciples, which will be a profession of faith for the present, and will also guide and control the policy of the Democratic party in the State for the future; and being painfully alive to the prostration of trade, the paralysis of Industrial enterprise, the dearth of labor except at starvation wages, the depreciation and threatened destruction ot all values, save money or bonds, and that these evils due largely to the maladministration of national and State affairs un der Republican rule can only be remedied by wise and patriotic legislation, we therefore Instruct our delegates to present to the said convention the fol lowing resolutions as expressive of the sentiments ot the Democracy of Shelby county, and that they endeavor, by all means In their power, to secure their adoption as a pan oi meir piattorm : Kt"Aid, That the labors and policies of the Demo cratic party restored to the southern States domestic governments, republican In spirit as well as form, and replaced in the Federal circle these States with iunctions ana ngnia coequal wnn tne otner mem bers of the Union. Rfxoliitt. That for the accomplishment of this great work this political organization deserves the gratitude of the south and the respectful considera tion of the whole republic; the gratitude of the for mer is due because It was the direct recipient of the blessings ot restorrd political and civil liberty; the respectiul consideration of the National republic is due because by the success of Democratic policies in this regard, the sword was eliminated from its inter nal administration, centralization arrested, and the ancient forms aud methods of the Federal system re estuDiisnea. Kendifit. That we deem It unwise and unjust to re strict the free coinage of silver, and demand that It shall be pliiced upon the same footing with gold In this resect. Rejuivat, That we regard the present national banking system as burdensome and oppressive, and favor the lmmeol;it retirement of the national bank notes from circulation, and that In lieu thereof greenbacks shall be substituted; and tht the act Imposing a tax of ten per cent on the banks cr bu reaus, chattered by any State, be repealed. tlcxoliva. That we denounce a a crime against the people of these united States that legislation of congress which gratuitously changed and added to tne terms and obligations of a large proportion of our national bonded debt; that we regard such laws as a fraud upon the rights of the people, in no mor al sense binding uiion tnem; demand their repeal. and favor the Immediate payment of said bonded debt in tne lej?al-tender currency of the United States. Resolied, That the avowed policy of the Federal aumlnlstra ion, to systematically and forcibly con trol the currency of the country, constituting as it does the measure of values and the medium of ex changes. Is opposed to all sound financial prin ciples; that the injury it has alrgady In flicted is incalculable; that to persist in it is monstrous H'ti inhuman; mat tnis policy should Immediately be reversed; that the act of 1875. knon as the resumption act, be repealed. and legal-tender currency should be Issued In suf ficient quantities tv meet the legitimate demands of tiadeaud Industry; and to this end, extending our sympathies to tne debtor and laboring classes, we invoke their co-operation and support. ReilieU, Thai we recognize the constltuttox il power of the general government to make appropria tions for internal improvements beneficial to large sections of the country, and which cannot be accom- pusnea by inuiviuual action; and having in view the fact thu the great bulk ot such appropriations In the pa.-t have been expended In the north and north west, and to ttie exclusion of the south, we submit It is but simple justice, and accordingly urge, that the congress of the United States shall extend aid to a southern Pac He railway, shall Improve the Missis sippi and Its tributaries, and protect and reclaim the lands subject to luund it on from said streams. Jie-vAued, That In the opinion of this meeting It Is of doubtful policy to attempt any adjustment or set tlement or the State debt until prosperity shall be restored to the business of the country, and such a material amelioration In our circumstances shall have occurred as will not require the farmer, me chanic and laborer to deprive his children of an ed ucation, and to saint his lamuj in toou ana raiment In order to meet the demands of the tax-gatherer, as Is the case now with our overwrought and overbur dened people. But any settlement wha'. soever, be- rore becoming a law, should De submitted to the people for their approval or rejection. Kaolttd. That no convict shall be worked outside the walls of the penitentiary, except on or In mines or public works. Rrmivtd, That we demand a reduction ot the fees ot office in conformity to the general shrinkage of values and the stringency of the tlmes.and the adop tion of a maximum standard all fees In excess to go into the public treasury of the counties for the use of schools. On motion of Colonel John Overton, the resolutions were amended so as to embrace the following lien-law resolution, offered by Colonel George K. Phelan : Retnlitd. That we are solemnly nladrod to the riHHoairn of a lien law which ahull nhonluiel amure fo the laborer the pnyment of his wages; and, also, a repeal of all laws permitting a stay of execution upon any Judgmentffor wages. MOTIONS AND DISCUSSION ON" RESOLUTIONS. Colonel Georce R. Phelan moved to lay the i report of the committee on the table. The i motion was lost. A motion was made to read the report of the committee and vote on it section by sec tion. The motion was adopted. The preamble was unanimously adopted. The first resolution was read, and its adop tion was opposed by Colonel Phelan, who fa vored the resolution on the same subject offered by General Luke E. Wright. Colonel Phelan made a lengthy and stirring speech, in Bupport of his position, and favored leav ing out tb southern question from the reso lutions. He referred to the rise of the Na tional party, it- pnncipless and its origin. He fctood on the National platform, and in dorsed every word of it. Both he and the Nationals of Memphis are Democrats, but they wanted no dead issues. If the party held on to dead issues, then he was no lontrer a Democrat, and the Democratic party would go down in defeat. Loud cheers. Judge T. W. Brown supported the resolu tion as reported by the emmittee. He was loudly applauded. Colonel Luke Finlay moved the adoption of thf resolution as reported by the committee. At this point a sharp and pleasant passage at arms took place, in a running discussion between Colonel Phelan and Judtte Brown, which was highly enjoyed by the members of the convention. Judge Ray favored the passage of the res olution as presented by the committee. The sense of the convention bying taken, the resolution was adopted. The second resolution was read and adopt ed. The third resolution was read and adopted. The fourth resolution was read and adopted. The fifth resolution was read and adopted. The sixth resolution was read and adopted. The seventh resolution was read and adopted. The eighth resolution was read and adopted. The ninth resolution was read and adopted. The tenth resolution was read. It was with eference to employing convict la bor. It was moved to amend the resolution by striking out the words "in mines." Judge Ray moved that Colonel Phe'ian's resolution on the subject of convict labor be adopted in lieu of the resolution offered by the committee. Colonel Phelan 's resolution opposed the employment of convict labor in any manner competing with the honest labor of the State. Major Minor Meriwether supported the res olution of the committee. Colonel Phelan's substitute wa9 laid on the table, and the original resolution of the com mittee was adopted as n-poited. The eleventh resolution was read and adopted. The report of the committee as a whole was then unanimously adopted. THE WIND-UP AND ADJOURNMENT. Captain R. C. Williamson offered a resolu tion as to the mandamus question, and de manded legislation on the subject and a rem edy, if a legal one can be found. Colonel Luke Finlay opposed the resolution. Captain Williamson withdrew the resolu tion. On motion, the convention adjourned sine die. The convention was a large one, and the greatest of harmony prevailed; the resolu tions adopted were satisfactory to all, and even Nationalists present could find no ob jection to them. As several of tbem said, "In our platform we wdl have to promise more to the people;" and as another leading Nationalist said, 'The Democrats have stolen our thundpr." STI5JLHJUOATS. FOR NEW ORLEANS.
