Six weeks hive been spent ia arnost preparation, and the Rreat battlu ta to be foujjht today. The blacks and the whites.the vagrant and the tixpiyer meet at the polls to day. How shall the contest end? Jast as the Democrats elect will the election result. They have the ma jority, and if they will exerc'se it as they have done for the pait sixteen yean, a g'orloua victory will be chieved. Then let all work today with that onergy and enthusiasm which hupe carrlod the August elec tions for sixteen years. Men who would willingly restore the dreadful past the negro ru'o that prevailed when the taxpaying whites were disfranchised will have their forces marshaled today. They must not b) allowed to succeed. Every Democrat who fails to do bis duty by not voting, helps tbo Republicans, He gives ail and comfort to the ens my. We must carry the county by a rousing majority. 1( those who op pone negro role and favor white su premacy, will do their duty, the vie tory will be overwhelming. If the Republican ticket succeeds there will be no lest than half a Aosm negroes a, the Courthouse as ofliolals, deputies and aes'stants. Tosscura this object the negroes are united in compact, so' id niisi on the color line. Bucb a spectacle shou'd arouse every man in whose veins flows the warm blood of the Caucasian, and In whose heart throbs the genuine love for the white race. Every Democrat should feel that the election depends on his indl viliul work, and not only vote but work for the tickot and thus aid in electing it by a majority that will be decisive and crushing. Thors is no excuse for indifference, for the ticket has the indorsement of publio senti ment. The business men of the city are undivided in its support, and its auccjsa at the ballot box today de pends outlis individual ollorts of those who know it 6nght to be elected. A TAIOO F.LTA CONVENTION. The Yatoo delta is famouB as one of the most fertile districts upon the banks of the, Mississippi river, but such ia its situation that the people there have always bad serious difficul ties to contend with, princlpa'ly through the extreme want in the river country of means of intercommunica tion and interior travol. Railroads are now penetrating this rich region, and a procpfct is opening for an era of prosperity such aa has long been ardently desired. This brightening of future possibilities carries with It changes which the people there must be prepared so to meet as to derive the greatest possible amount of benefit from the new opportunities offered, and to remove or diminish all obstacles to a permanent Improvement of the condition of the Yasoo delta. The Greenville Timti publishes a call for a convention to assemble at that place in December, for consulta tion upon tho most practical measures lor Improving the agriculture and ad vancing the industrial development of the delta, so aa to augment the pros perity of its occupants. Such a con vention cannot but be of great utility, as organiza'ion and union of effort will produce satisfactory results more speedily and effectually than can be accomplnhed by individual efforts, which are Mow in operation and too often discordant as to objects and methods. Hill, Hllt.l.BT Nl'HKENDERT On Monday last the Democracy of Alabama swept the State. The people of that State know what negro rule menus, and in a contest involving the rule of white integrity and intelligence or the rule of corro.pt, ignorant ne groes, Intelligence and integrity will triumph. It has so triumphed In all the Southern States. Will Shelby County, situated in the heart of the South, will Memphis, the central em porium for the trade of an immense scope of country, be the first to strike its colors and surrender to the gang who rated and ruined the South T The Democracy of Shelby County have crnabed out the Barbour Lewises and the Bhaws, tad they do not propose to restore to power the iebru they left behind them by electing eueh necrose aa Morris and Fields to offices. There ia no safety lor the people of the South, of Shelby county and of Memphis ax cept id the Democratic party a party identified with the material interests of the intelligent taxpaying people. Ths Democrats have carried Shelby county for sixteen years, and they il cirry it again today by work and a fall vote. THE BEPEATEBH AKE HERE. The trains were crowded yesterday with negroes imported from Arkansas snd MiBsifBippl to vote Ike Republic an ticket today. Dmccrats who mine up on the Mississippi and Ten ni esco railroad yesterday morning es timate the number of negro pafst tigers at over 100. 8111 more will arrive this morning. Five hundred negroes are colon:z?d ia Memphis this morn ing, and will vo'o errly and often if the black rates Is are not detected and imprisoned. Unless the Democrats kerp a vigilant watch in every ward there will bs 1000 fraudulent votes ca't for the Republican ticket today. The Democratic Executive Committee has made ample provision for the detection of tho imported re peaters and every one will he sent to prison and to the penitentiary. i.i m: hi a. Liberia, in Africa, is wbere a colony of American colored people are etriv iagtorpread civilizing influences with in the dark continent. As the influ ences exerted are American In or gin and chatacter, and ai the cjlony was a development of American philan thropic, Liberia must always be a place of interest to us. Gen. Lewis, the American Consul at Sierra Leone, has recently mado a report to our gov eminent that gives the latest informa tion of what is going on there. The traveler along the west coast of Africa, eays tho report, finds at the French colony of Benegul railroads, telegraphs and the busy routine of commercial and political life. The prospect of the French among the natives, how ever, is not cheering, as they are op posed to French pretensions and ef forts. An American trading houso on the Gambia river is doing a successful business. There are other French, Portuguese and German settlements. Sierra Leone is seeking an extension of territory under British protection; there is an aoti-Amerlcin house here. On the Manna river, 200 miles from Sierra Lsone, begins Liberia. It extendi 400 miles a'ongths coast to Sin Tiedio river.and Is considered one of the most fertile of the West African settlements. It is accomplishing a great work for that pirt of Africa. The people have a constitution modeled after our own, with an executive, a legislature and civil service. The religion is Protestant and most of the eecta have schools and clin ches there. Acollege established by Boston citizens is, as yet, hardly a success. The resources of the country are rich, and with cipiUl could be very productive. Liberia coffee is In repu'e, the land and climate are favorable to its growth, which is extending. Immigrants from tho United Slates have of late given it much attention. Some of the Llhorian firmers, nil colored, have made money, and occasionally tike their trips to Europo on business or pleasure. Fifty thou and intelligent negroes are wanted to pep ulnte the country ilf y miles from the coast. The imports and exports are becoming important but the country has cipac'ty to double them easily, Steamors call weekly at some of the port, yet, although the settlement is American, there is not an Amrican trading house in any part of the Re public, but American vessels occa sionally trade, along tho coast. The Consul deairoa to see Americau enter prise quickened In that direction, and believes effort a would bo successful and remunerative, besides being of great advantage to the country. For young and enterprising colored people, who are not satistled hero, the colony pre' senta great attractions, and they are among none who view them as in feriors. WHITE OR BLACK OFFICIAL! The white people of Shelby ooun'y unquestionably possess the greatest amount of capacity, intelligence and honesty, and unless our system of government offer? a premium on Ignorance, the whites are the palest custodians of the people's business, and the best qualified to manage the affair) of the county, If so, let us try and prevent Illiterate negro suprem acy by voting the Democratic ticket. N orris and Fields, backed by their prospective colored deputies, will be at the polls today. The whites should be there too. LANDLORD! IN THE VSITED (STATIN. a. The acquisition by foreigners of millions of acres of land in this conn try has for some time attracted the attention of our people, and measures are before Congress for abating the evil. The United States Conail at Dundee, Scotland, Mr. A. B. Wood, in a report to the State Department, has made known facta obtained on that aids of the water, showing how exton stve and threatening this abuse is, He finds that capitalists in Dundee have 117,500,000 invested in property in this country. Furthnr inquiries brought to his knowledge the exist ence of forty-two trust, investment and mortgage companies, twenty three cattle and land companies, and sixteen mining companies, having a total capital of $300,000,000. These Investments are paying from to 12) per eent in moat instances; one mining company was paying IS per cent. Though nnable to obtain a full statement, the Consul traced up ownerships of 11,973,452 acres of land in fee simple, and 1,467( 666 acres on lease. There is enough In all this to arouse the attention of every American citizen. The New Orleans Pteoywwvroferring to these facts, says "It is evident that ws are going to landlordism of the worst phase. It is Infinitely preferable to have that land' lordisn which Is composed of Indi- MEMPHIS DAILY vidua! landlords than thai sort made up of heartless and soulless corpora tions. We have been grandly talking for fcalf a century about the great evils of landlordism in Ireland and England, and meantime the landlords are coming over here in corporation form and investing in our own toil directly and indirectly the earn irgi which they have saved." When the spread of population causes much of this foreign held land to become valuable, what ia to pre vent these foreign landlords running whole village;, and even towns, and exacting extortionate rents from herd- working farmers? It looks as if the rackreot Irish system was to be re peated upon our own soil. Perhaps the reader says that American citi zens will resist, they will never sub mit to the yoke that has so long been i i ye ted around Irish necks. Snpposo their resistance be successf al, at what price would success be bouglit? Vio lence and bloodshed. Shall we allow a system to continue that bos such consequences before it? By attention to the mat'.er now we may save untold evil and suffering in the future. In the struggle that would, ia the end, follow the corporate landlord system, some of Mr. George's ideas might be deemed app'iuablp, and euch a possi bility should stir up all our home land owners to oppose vigorously the monopolizing of onr land by foreign capitalists and corporations. PRINCIPLE AND MONET. There is both principle and money in voting the Dsmocratio ticket today tho principle of preferring whit9 to negro rule the supremacy of I nielli gent white men to the rule of ignorant negroes. And money will be made by defeating the reckless, irresponsible party which has ruined wherever it uled in the South. 80UM CAROLINA DEMOCRATS. Meeting of (be Ntate Convention at '.Colombia.

Mis oeatb, thongii possible at any time on account cf bis age, was euiirely nnexotctcd. He bad been suflering for a'few bonis from aa at tack of nausea and diarrhoea and was attended by Dib. Simminds and Swift, from this place. He partial y recov ered, but following shortly after came a sadden stoppage of the- heart's ac tion and death, ensued. Tbe lest hours of the deceased statesman were peaceful and paiolees, For eeveral months pest Mr. Tilden bas enjoyed unusual health for him. He bid gained thirty-five pounds of Mesh in six months. He used his yacht Viking frequently, and took long carriage rides daily. His face was familiar to tke sixty people of Yonkers, and be frequently drove through tbe streets of the city. The latt time he went out was on Sunday, wten be was dr von out by bis coach man, items U liara, attended by bis valet Louis Johansen, both of whom have been in his service for years (Saturday he was ttken with a slight chill while tittinz in his porch overlooking the Hudeon river and was removed to bis room where he was attended by! bis friend snd physician, Dr. E. Samuels, of New York, who is stopping with his family in the neighboring estate of Blank mown. The cold settled in Mr. Tilden's bowels and stomseh. causing vomiting and purging. With medical aid be lait muca better on Sunday and went out in bis carriage Monday and yesterday, lie also lelt much better last night. Mr, lilden was ttken with tbe sime symptoms wbi'e in the parlor and was supported to his room by his va'et and private secra tary, George Smith. KeachiDg his room, the ex-Governor experienced considerable trouble In breathing, Tbis alarmed his friends, and Dr, Simmons was called. The patient was suffering from nausaa and d'ar rbrea, and was in great distress. The difficulty in breathing ceassd after a while, and he was placed in bed. Later he was aesisted to an easy chair. Dr. Simmons remained all night, Early this morning Mr. Tilden began to grow worse. and was aga n placed in bed. Tbe general gases of stomach and bowels disordered them and earned a failure of action of the heart. As the second fit of the difficulty of breathing re curred Dr. 8wift( of Yonkers, was called in consultation. He arrived at Greyetono at 8 o'clock, but Mr. Tilden was then bevond tbe reach ol medical pkill. The two physicians consulted in a wbiper, but nothing could be done.

He remained conecious to the lost, tbe labored breathing grew fainter and mote feeb'e and at 8:45 o'clock am the face of the dying man began to change. Tbe ashen pallor of death slowly crept over his countenance, the eves closed and his muscles re. lax Ml. At 8:55 o'clock he breathed his last. At the time of bis death the only persons in the room were Drs. Simmons and Swift, Miss Annie Gould, a relative, the amanueneiaof the dead statesman and the faithful va'et Louis Johanes.

Tldei ra ely put Lis hand to pop r and the last time he wrote was to sign a telegMm of condolence to the father of Hubert O. Ttonnson. The list letter which he sitted was written to Secretary Daniel Manning. Mr. Manning was tbe last guest whom be had entertained at his bouse. Mr. Menniug was there for a week and left about eleven das ago. For some months past Mr. Tilden bas bused himself at odd times with the composition of a family record of the Tilden famdy. He traced the line back to John Til den, who lived in the Vale cf Tilden, county ot Kent, i.jgland, in 140.'. Somo of the family sli 1 reeide there. Mr. Tilden completed tins work 1 st week, and oft Monday of tbis weuk be dictated the preface his lust dicta tion.

Tut esbe had placed together by the aid cf memory, and from what he could ar d should got from others. Hewro'e, he says, because he thought it might be ot use to the younger members ot tne family, as it showed them that tbey had sprung from an honest, Bturdy B"t, of wh im tbey could be prond. It will thus be eeen that Mr. Ti lerj a mental vigor was unimpaired by bis long illness. His appetite was good and he ate as much as uioit men.

The club and hotel corridors are pretty well deserted at this time of vear. and lilt'e conveisation on tne death of Mr. 'lilden could be beard among prominent people on that ac count. Whenever talk was heard sorrow was expressed in unlimited terms. People of all political faiths and callings united in expressing re gret for the dead statesman. Great man, and the "Dem ocratic party's moet able cham pion" were favorite descriptions of the late leader. Among many tbe hope was expressed that the funeral ceremonies would take place in this city, tbat an opportunity might be bad by the popuiat on to snow the ex treme feeling of respect that is felt for the man's memory. It was predicted that Mr. Tilden's lunerai would be attended by a gntbeiing of people that had never been equaled In numbers or variety of representation in the history of the country.

Our politi cal relations became quite intimate and always of a pleesant cbarae'er, He told me,the first days of the seseion after that Legislature met that bis object incoming there was to setu e the removal of the corrupt, judges of New York. He was the prime mover in ail tbe imoeacbraent proceedings which followed, and he succeeded in all his efforts. He was not es pecially popular in tbat Legis lature. and antagonized many mem' bers and made enemies. At tbat time no one would have dared to predict that be would become tbe leader of bis party in tbe State and nation. His growth in public esteem was slow, but enr?. He was always courteous and extremely conferva five. He was evr on tbe heaviest Bide of every public question, and per severing in what he undertook.
