tit * ailj ffrtss. City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST Cl TV CWI LATIOS aTTuuhta. ua. WEPXKdPAY MORNING—Hay *J. IMT The Radical Party aad the Hegroea. The effect which hat thws for been produced by thw efforts of the Radical party to secure the votes of the negroes, is a heavy blow and great discourage ment to thoee who were honestly and disinterestedly in fort* acceptance of the Sherman Bdl, and who were striving aealoaaly to persuade others to acquiesce, as the sorest, promptest, and safest way of freeing the country from military rule, and restoring to the people the rights of sell-government and equality in the Union. There are few—l do not know that there are any—of thnse who have re ,o!rcd to comply with and help to carrv out the Congressional plan of reconstruction, who have done so from a belief in the intrinsic justice or wia dom of that plan. They have deter mined to submit, because they think that it is the best they can do for themselves and tbeir fellow citixens. and that were they to do otherwise, harsher and more disastrous measures would be inevitably adopted by Con gress, which has the will and the power to enforce its decrees. Social peace, security of property, stability of govern ment, the power to regulate our affairs by our oan laws, admininislered by officers of our own choice, a removal of the uncertainty and apprehension which now fill every mind and paralyze every energy, rendering recuperation of our shattered fortunes impossible are among the advantages which the advo cates of Congressional reconstruction believe to be attainable by submission, and furnish the most convincing argu ments by which they try to persuade others to follow their advice and concur in their ac'ion. They are powerful arguments, and were rapidly and surely producing popular conviction as to their soundness, until the emissaries of Radicalism avowed their purpose and eipiained their programme, both of which are weli calculated to create popular alarm, because their success clearly imperils, if it do not render impossible the social peace, security of property, and stability of government, to obtain which the people are willing to make the sacrifices which Congress demands. The appeals which are made to the negroes to induce them to lend their political power to the extreme Radicals: the bitter and insulting language which is employed by the Radical missionaries when they allude to the Southern peo ple ; the rewards which are promised to the black voters if they become the antagonists of the whites, and the threats which are used to compel sub mission—all tend to stir up strife be tween the two raees. and render social peace and security of property impos eibie. When reflecting men contemplate the condition of affairs which the spokes men of the Radical party desire to produce in these States—a direct, open, and anzry antagonism between the semi-barbarous negro and the white race, both of whom are entirely equal politically, and almost equal numeri cally, (in two States the blacks are in a large majority), they are compelled to halt and consider whether anythin? can be more disastrous to their peace and aecunty, than the consummation of the Radical purpose. They hear what unrestrained R idiea’isra has done in Richmond. Virginia, ar.d New Orleans, they see the demoralising influences of Radical teaching in their own midst; they learn the baneful fruits which it has produced at Mobile, and they ask them selves, is not military despotism, admin istered by an intelligent, upright officer, preferable to negro government, directed and controlled by Radicals like those who have made- their campaign speeches upon our soil? A large majority of our people are perfectly willing to concede to tbe i erro eTery right and privilege which Las been conferred upon him, and toaid and protect him in their free exercise They do not seek to coerce bis vote, or throw any obstacles in the way of his registration. They do not ask to con vert his race into a political machine for them to drive and control, but they do ask—and it is not unreasonable— that the race be not convered into a political machine to be controlled by party adventurers, hostile to their inter estg, and utterly regardless of the well being of the negro further than to use him as a tool to buiid up the fortunes of the Radical party. Every speech that Wilsou and Kelly have made since they came to the South has damaged tbe reconstruction movement, and thrown obstructions in the path of conciliation and harmony on which the people had entered witfi sincerity and hopefulness. Ihe intelligent masses at the North, who are hardiy less interested lhao our selves in the speedy and final adjust ment of the difficulties between tbe sections, must see the fatal consequences of the attempt to make the negroes s Radical whip to sconrge the Southern peoole. Tbe influential organs of moderate republicanism, like the New Y’ork Times, condemo the attempt in s vere terms, and it is to be hoped that they will produce an expre:sion ol popular opinion against a course which can serve no pmrpose but to prolong s rife and suffering, and postpone that t-nnquility and union which all good citixens know and feel are absolutely essential to the prosperity of the whole nation. Xvlok. (OonaapaaduMs of tfce Barer Paass.] The City of Me*phis Msurais, Tut, May IT. Dean Pans:—baring tha aeatiwn of the Southern Baptist Con Teat sot) in Memphis—reports of which I have been sending yea for the past week—it was almost impossible for me to learn anything about the condition and proa pects of the city in which we were assembled. The public duties of the day benn at 8 o'clock, A. N, (one hour being spent in devotional exer rises before the Convention was called to order), and ended at 6 o'clock, P. M. Two hours and a half were allowed for dinner. After lea, every night, there were sermons or mass meetings, so that a member of the Convention, as I was, bad very little time for anything else thnn bis duties as a member. But I spent a day in the Bluff City after the adjournment of the Convention, and improved it in looking rouud, and get ting information. t*e ovkrton Horse HIJttiER. I omitted to mention at the proper time an interesting incident of the Convention. It was a dinner to aboct fifty of the delegates, given at the Overton House, by John J. Brown. Esq., cotton factor and commission merchant. It was an occasion which none of us who were present will soon forget. At the dinner hour the guests repaired to the Reading Room of the Overton, when we were introduced to Col. Brown, our host, and to Gen. Forrest. Col B. conducted us to the spacious dtning hall, where, upon two long parallel tables we found a repast awaiting ns which, as one of the speakers said, whatever may be the definition of common sense, certainly appealed irre sistably to a sense which is common to all Baptist preachers—it would be no barm to add, “ and to some other people.” Gen. Forrest and Rev. Dr. Fuller sat at the head and foot of one table, and President Mell and Rev. Dr. Burrows, occupied the same positions at the other. After partaking of a rich feast of all manner of good things, Dr. Fuller was called upon to express the deep appreciation which the guests felt of the kindness of our host. This ser vice be performed in his happiest style. Resolutions were offered by another guest, giving utterance to our thanks and wishes for the temporal and spirit ual prosperity of CoL Brown. The Colonel responded briefly, but feelingly. Gen. Forrest was called for, bat declared himself unable to make a speech, and kept his seat. He, however, consented to stand up at the request of our host, that the reverend gentlemen present might have a clear view of his personal appearance. He is not such a man as one would expect to see. The expres sion of his countenance is quiet and gentle, but indicative of firmness and decision. He is erect and rather stiff in his manners, though he was hardly himself, I suspect, in a company of clergymen. This dinner impressed us all most pleasantly, and we retired equally convinced of the liberality of our host, and the excellence of the arrangements in the pantry and kitchen of the Overton. TiUDE OF tIEXPUIS. It is very sad to say that the business of this city has declined rapidly, and, for many, fatally, within the past few months. A number of prominent houses have failed, and others arc supposed to be tottering, while uneasi ness and distrust prevail on ail sides. But no one supposes it will long be so. It is the abiding conviction of the resi. dents that Memphis is to be the com mercial metropolis of the Southwest. Indeed, any one who will consider the location of the city, the rapidity of its growth, tbe immense width of country from which it draws its trade, its nu merous. unsurpassed facilities for busi ness of all kinds, will be satisfied that no place south of Chicago has such a destiny. Notwithstanding the ac knowledged duilnes of trade now, it was remari;fed to me by one of the lea-ding business men of the city, that a thou sand barrels of potatoes, or a thousand barrels of eggs landed on the wharf there in one day, would not effect the price of potatoes or eggs two cents a barrel. The same gentleman informed me that the shipment of cotton this season already reaches three hundred thousand bales. Building, which was so esten-isely earried on iast year, that it was impos sible to procure the needful number of workmen, has a check. Very few houses, comparatively, are now going up. The streets, which have been in a wretched condition since the war, are receiving attention. In One place, (I believe it is in Third Street, on Court Square), the Nicholson pavement is being laid. Street cars are running the whole length of Main street, and also of Beal street. They will sooo be put on some other streets. The people appre ciste this great convenience; I fre quently saw tbe cars crowded. TUE PKF.SB OF MEMPHIS Is hardly surpassed by that of any city on the continent in ability, pros p.-rity, or in courtesy. Galloway at the heirn of the Avalanche. Semmes in the Bulletin Office, and Albert Pike in the Appe il what city can show three more able and accomplished editors ?

What a power for good hag goeb a press beer. in Memphis ? Who can tell how much of the prosperity of the city is owing to this tremendous power? During tbe session of the Convention, many of these journals extended special courte sies to that body. Too much could not be said in praise of the generous hospitality of the citi zens of Memphis. Private and public bouses were thrown open everywhere for the entertainment of delegates, and as preachers and laymen rolled away to their homes, no doubt many a prayer and many a blessing was wafted back to the good people of the Bluff City.
