A dispatch of the fid inst., from Nash
ville. repoiis a conference there between
tho Governors of Tennessee and Ken
tucky. to consider the question of holding
a convention of Democratic Governors
as soon aftr r the Chattanooga Radical Con
vention as possible, with a view of meet
ing and insisting the anticipated incendi
ary pvommeiair.ento of the last imnod
body. Tho following is given as tho con
clusion reached by this conference of
Governors Brown and Leslie:
That the original proposition was not
feasible nor desirable for various reasons,
among others that such a movement
should have the hearty concurrence of all
the Democratic States, whereas the Gov
ernor of Virginia questions the propriety
of it, and the Governor of Texas de
clines. Further, Hint there was at least
the possibility of such a discussion of tho
grievances of the Southern Statrs which
might operate injuriously instead of ben
eficially, wlulo simply serving tho pur
pose of dignifying the manifesto of the
Chattanooga conclave. That from its es
sential sectional and partisan character
such a meeting would bo treated as sec
tional aud partisau, aud ho it would t o
obviously futile. In lieu of this original
proposition, therefore, it was agreed at
the conference to-day and is suggested
that there be a inference of Governors
of all the Democratic States North and
South, together with representative
Democratic citizens of influence, fiom
States not Democratic, or possibly of the
Governors of all the States, irrespective
of party, with a view to a calm, earnest
and patriotic discussion of tho broader
questions of the conflict between the
JlUts and Federal jurisdictions.
black men we have pity, and the sorio
of one who would be their friend. There
are many colored men in our city for
whom wo entertain tho greatest respect,
but the majority are, we regret to say,
worthless, thriftless and unprincipled;
men iscnpahle of freedom, because a
quart or in ailver will buy their suffrage,
and incapable of honesty, as they never
practice it to prove tlio contrary.
What an utter farco was tho
gathering of the negroes at tho Court
House yesterday ! Lacking the principle
to vote for good men, they came into the
market with their votes uml sold them to
the highest hiddor, and again sold them
after they had been mortgaged. Hnch
another coutomptihle farce wo havo never
witnessed, aud tho effect on us was to in-
creaso our disgust for that most damnable
political heresy, “universal suffrage."
After V»2 wo thought it wine, for the sake
of the Union, to free the blacks, and af
terwards wo were willing to give them tho
protection of the ballot, if assured that
they could use it for their own elevation,
but they have shown themselves in the
majority of cases incapable of being hon
est freemen aud utterly tin worthy of ox-
ercising the right to vote. Tho heart of
the non-alaveholding civilized world has
ever beat in sympathy with freedom for
tho blacks, aud that sympathy hns found
expression in a thousand philanthropic
acts since tho blacks wero freed,^and wo
for ouo wore willing to staud by them;
indeed, wo are now, whore they show
themselves men, but wo have nothing but
contempt for tlio political acts of
the black men in our vicinity. A
man with very littlo education, and
not much brains, like Kotchum, a man
who was nover a slave, a man*born un
der tho English flag, a nmu who may not
even bo u citizen of this Republic, comes
here and against the council of good
Union inon, ho rallied the ignorant blacks
about him and drew tho lines of party by
color, and ho consigned his race to defeat
and contempt. Now and then an iufcel'i-
gent colored man will admit thD, but tho
majority are two venal or two ignorant to
reason about it. It is tho bluck man.Lore
at loast, and to our knowledge, who has
drawn the linos of color, and wo, who
wore willing to bravo prejudice and in
sult to aid him, now renounce our regard
for tho great mass of ignorant, unprinci
pled men who lmvo brought disgrace on
their taco and nmdo freedom a burlesque.
Sympathy is exhausted, and the strongest
frionds of tho blacks in the North nro
turning away in disgust from tho freedom
of their own creation. Tlio end is not
reached, but unless the blacks become
more honest, more intelligent, more vir
tuous and less corruptible, white labor
and wliito voters will come in to supplant
them, aud an exodus will occur with tho
Red soo in front and no Johovah to hold
back tho hungry waves. 0.
“MOT MO EAST/'
We infer from an editorial of tho
Washington National Republican of M
day, that orders have been issued to 8
ator Patterson to hold up with his little
schoiue of nominating Gen. Grant for a
third torm at the Chattanooga Radical
Convention. In an editorial bended “Tho
Chattanooga Convention," ifc says that
“tho purpose of tho gathering is vague
and indefinite"; that if the Convention
shall confine itself to tho programme of
sending out* to tho country information
and statements concerning tho condition
of tho Bouth, “it cannot do harm and
may do good"; but that “it ought to con
fine itself exclusively to Southern matters
and Southern questions"—“ahoee all, let
us havo uo nonsouMO about questions of
uational politics, which are nearly two
years in the future, aud which will take
care of themselves.*'
This, of course, can mean nothing else
thau a protest against a declaration in favor
of Gen. Grant for a third term. Such a
declaration would bo considered prema
tureiu as much as tho election is two
years off, and tho third term nomi
nation will “tsko care of itself.”
This later proposition is undoubtedly cor
rect. No political movement is more
likely to “Uko earo of itsolf" than the
third term nomination. The thiug is pro
gressing very smoothly now, and though
the Chattanooga Convention is design
to promote it by representing tho exi
ouco at the South of such a condition
affairs as would seoiu to call for the con
tinuauce of a military despotism, it
politic to disclose the ulterior objects of
tho conclave by a third term nominat
All that is asked of the Chattanooga Con
volition is the representation to the conn
try of such a «condition of affairs at the
South as will seeui to cull for a third t
for Grant, and then the movement
“take care of itself." Very many—per
haps a majority—of the Radicals of the
North are now opposed to a third ter
for Grant, and such a declaration mig’
do more harm than good in tho quart
where tho action of tho Convention is iu-
teuded to have effect. It might open the
eyes of tho anti-third term Radicals of
the North to tho trap that is being set for
them. It might cause them to see that
this ery of “outrage" at the South and
this Chattanooga Convention project are
both intended to help Grant in his aspi
rations for another term. Thufore the
order to stop that “nonsense.”
Of course, the Southern olfieo-seoker*
and political intriguers, whan they moot
at Chattanooga, will impl citly obey this
restraining order. They are as completely
under the command of Grant as his army
operating against Richmond was. They
will “pile up the agony" about Southern
outrages, but they will carefully conceal
the fact that their remote design is to
procure the nomination of Geo. Grant
for another term. It will ho rather
strange, however, if the Radicals of tho
North do not get au iukling of the fact
damage tho rice crop on the Altamaha.

An affray took placo to-night at Waller’s

among the trustees of the Justice Mining
Comp my, two parties fighting for the
c-mtivl of tho company. One aide is rep
resented by Minoar, president of the
company, who appointed N. Kellogg ns
superintendent. Trouble has been anti
cipated for tlio last two days. This even
ing about 7 o’clock a part y of men headed
by Kellogg went to Waller’s Defeat Works.
When near the works they were warned
off. Instead of obeying they nude a rush
for the entrance, when shooting com
menced on both sides, 'lhe following are
the names of the killed : W. Kellogg and
M. Kane. Reilly J. Brown was mortally
wounded. Tho men killed are represent
