Death wields his sceptre fearless, bold,
He' wields it ftifli resistless power ;
He takes alike the young and old, '
And saeiiis to pho.ose the fairest flower.
He roams defiant through the laud;
,, IIis v^its cannot be denied;
Hundreds fall daily by his hand;
His thirst is never satisfied.
Then let me wake my quiv’ring lute,
For one struck dotyn with fatal shaft ;
Who sleep's—Whose lips are pale and mute,
Let me for him a tribute waft.

Earth seemed the gloomy soul to cheer,
While feathered warblers trill’d their lays.

Cut off from earth in youthful bloom.

W'heu every breeze with rieli purtuuae,

Tlie news spread swiftly thro' the town;
When tidd that Charley was no more,
Strong hearts were bowed with sorrow down.
Who, who can know the writhing pang,

When in her ears words cliilliug rang.
That death had seized her darling boy ?
And who can know the sisters’ grief •
When told their brother dear, was drown’d 1

Whose love can hejl the deepest wound.

What pen their feelings can-portray,
When keeu despair began to press—
When darkness drove the light away,
' Closing the search without success?

The stai-s seemed then to sympathise,
The gentle winds blew sadly by,
While death ’twould seem,-who held his prize,
Could not have checked a mournful sigh.
All night the edW andlifeless clod,
Moved slowly’neath the rolling flood,
While those who felt tlie chaat’uing rod,
Mourned tof the tender, faded bud...
The longed for dawu of light appeared,
A misty thickness gathered round,
Warm hearts with feelings volunteered,
And soon the body lost was found.
Then, to the stricken home ’twasborne,
While'heaven’s dews were streaming down,
The clouds seemed tlieD, to we&p arid'mourn
With those bow'd neath Jelfovah’s frown.
It was a sad and solemn seine,
And touching was it to behold,
The sprightly form that, skipped the green
The day before, so stark aud cold.
And now .it mouldeis in the ground,
Shrouded with flowers, still he lies,
l>Et when the last great trump shall sound,
Death will no longer hold his prize.

Yesterday was, perhaps, the occasion
of the most magnificent event which has
ever transpired, not only in Memphis, but
in the Southern country. The Tourna
ment, in every sense, was a success, the
recollection ot which will be alive for ma
ny, many years of the future^ and its des
cription will be given with delight to those
who will form the people of the next, aiid'
yet another generation. At an early hour
Of the morning, there were five thousand
people on the grounds. One incessant
Stream poured from the city—-goipg horse
back, in earriages, omnibusses, and in ev
ery other kind of vehicle known to the
motion of horses and wheels! The large
amphitheatre, by ten o'clock, was filled
by a perfact boquet of beautiftil ‘ ladies,
while the hundreds of carriages encircling
the track, contained a rainbow of tbe
same female loveliuess. At that hour
there were at least eight thousand people
present, anxiously awaiting the appear
ance .of the knigbts who had entered the
lists that, day for the trial of skill in aim
ing tbe luuce and winning the smile of
approbation for featly deeds.

AT THE I’OUUNAM ENT, ... .
The movements and necessities of prep
aration in the city, had delayed the arri
val of the knights upon the ground, .un
til some time after the appointed hour for
the commencement of the 'Sports. The
vast concourse had become weary of Wait
ing, and although tha day was glorious in
its brightness, there was a universal
feeling predominant that.farlure would bq
the fate of the occasion, so fruitful in prom
ises of pleasant entertainment an hour be
fore. Bht such foreboding was doomed,
uh just at this j uncture, the folding gates
of tbe course were thrown apart, and
that glorious band heralded the arrival of
“Knight and lance and neighing steed.”
Such g shout of joyous welcome, we have
never heard, unless it was when the pol
ished and eloquent, orafor, Hon, Langdon
C. Haynes, closed his soul-stirring address.
At the command of the Grand Marshal,
the cavalcade broke from its slow and
stately movement of passing thrbiigh the
portal* of entrance, into a sweeping and
graceful gallop around tbe ring, and disap
peared, to the appointed, rendezvous for
the arrangement of details for the. tilt.
This caused but little delay, and a blast
front the bugle soon announced that the
lots had been drawn by the knights for
preference in starting, and that all was
ready for the trial of skill.
JPDOES IN THE StAkd. '
The appointed Judges of the tilting for
the pyze diamond ring, and the selection
of f he Queen of Love and Beauty, Were

INVITED CiOESTS ON THE STAND
General Stoneman, wife and sister-in-
law, were invited to seats on the stand,
and were pleased witnesses of the sports

Florence Journal, was also an occupant
of the stand, a* a distinguished visitor.

Fizer, and his assistants, Colonel DaWson,
Captain Sneed and Major Rambnut, en
tered the ground of combat and formed in
line before the stand, to hear the oration
and receive the charge. Tbe Hon. W. T.
Avery then advanced to the front of . the
stand, and, in appropriate language, , in
troduced the distinguished speaker, Hon.
Langdon C. Haynes.
This truly eloquent address we shall
publish to-morrow.
The address being concluded, Captain
Jonh W. Wilkerson proclaimed that the
spmts would commence, in the chivalric
contest for the honors Rod prize, to bo de
termined in the first series of tilts.

SCENES AND INCIDENTS OF THE TILT.
During the tilts, we have ncvfer seen
more intense interest exhibited, or more
enthusiasm expressed. The excellent
horsemanship of nearly all the gallant
Contestants led the favor of the throng
from one to another, as with lance poised
and steed shooting meteor-like by, they
passed along the posts where bung tile
rings so coveted. As the lance of the for
tunate knight would pass through the ring,
skillfully caught on the point, the bugle
would ring out the signal of tRe fact,. And
the very heavens seemed to shake with
shouts. Of Course, there were some ex
press favorites of the entire crowd, and
among this number were the Knigbts of
Fitz James. Night Before Last; Ldne Star,
Wooden Leg, Devon and Confederate,
for each of these rode magnificently,--and
we do not say it in disparagemeut of tlie
horsemanship of the rest. The Knight
Fitz James took six rings in the first two
tilts, which put him on ahead of'the knight
next highest in numb.er, bidding- fair to?
carry off the prize with no trouble in ,tbe
third tilt. But! fate was against him, al
though he was master of tbe skill, for ' in
the last rouud his hitherto unerring lance
came out without bearing a single trophy.
In justice to this gallant knight, who had
come all the Way from Okolona, to break
a lance with the most knightly ofalfassem-
bled- we must admit that the wind- which
had turned the rir>gs adversely to the
range of his lance, was the bar to his oth
erwise certain victory. The gallant
Knight, Night-Before Last, is beyond
question the most accomplished horseman
we have ever seen. He is daring to
recklessness, and the same time the .per
fection of gracefulness. The little
Knight Lone Star, who is but fourteen
years of age, won all hearts by the display
of his wonderful accomplishments in the
saddle, and we are not snre, had he but'
strength to manage the powerful steed
he rode, his lance, though poised by boy
ish hands, would have won honors only of
tbe second choice. As we have express
ed above, the horsemanship was most ex
cellent, and all the feat6 of the occasion
weie most gratifying to all assembled.
The average time made by the contes
tants can be fairly set down at eight and
a half seconds. We were gratified to ob-
The lance was poised, and off he sped.
The first post was passed, and the bugle
rang ont the ring was taken. The .second .
post was passed, and the same signal was.
sounded; the third and last post was pass-
ed; and again ftie bugle blew the blast of
suecess, amid the most tremendons and
continuous applause.
, THE FINALE.
The Grand Marshal and his assistants
once more formed the line, the victorious
Knight leading his comrades, and passed
around tbe track, receiving on all sides
prolonged cheers, while the band added
new. enthusiasiri to the already exuberant
spirit of the occasion with the soul-stirring
air of “Dixie.” The procession again hal
ted in front of the stand, for the victor to
receive upon his lance the Crown for the
Queen of LoVe and Beauty, and the six
next successful knights, the wreaths for
her Maids of Honor. We give below the
list: : ' ' *“

REASSEMBLINO OF THE KNIGHTS.
When the Herald announced the con- j or
elusion of the tilts,, the knights were reas
sembled, thrown into line, and marched
in Ront of the Judges’ stand, to learn the
fate their deeds liad met. The G.raud
Marshal rode in front and aunounceu t,hat
all were ready, whereupon it was proclaim
ed that the highest number of rings taken
was seven,-and tbe knights cf “Night. Be;
fore Last” and Devon had borne upon their
IfineeS'to' the stand the same amount of
rings, which still left tbe matter of gnpe->'
rior skill unsettled betweee them. The
course ..was again cleared, and the two
contestants, under conduct of the Grand
'Marshal, slowly moved around the r, ifiUg:
This was a fheinent of breathless intpeest,
as the two knights had meny. admirers
each. On /reaching the point, from
whence but a few hours before, twenty-
five had, in turn, started off with bound;
ing hearts and high hopes, this single.pair
of contestants halted their ateeds to deter
tnine».by one dash at tbe rings, ’which
should bear upon his lance the crown to,
•be graced by the. fair lady’’whom it would
be his well-eqfned honor to select. The
Herald announced that the moment had
arrived, and the bngle sounded the Knight

’When and to what/e^tentJiRye the
Dcmbciats, as party—World
liicTuded—pracfically sustained the ef
forts- of tbe U^esideflL.anthhie-friends to
restore the harmony of the Union ?
. To whicln the-Now* 'York 4i r brld re
plies, that two millions of Democratic
voters approve, by ,cojovjction, of the
policy bf the President, and* wiJJ vote
for no candidate for , Congress...not
pledged to support it. The, World
shrinks from no comparison with, the
Times respecting the success-of its ad
vocacy of President Johnson's policy
no4- in respect to th’e co^operatiou and
following- it fehj0y8 in its Ovvii party.
Considering the incalculable aid a cer
tain member of Congress, with a gfeat
newspaper to reinforce bis influence,
has been able to give tbe President,
we trust be will not take it amiss if
we remind him that others C&h ask
questions which the public may, per
haps, consider as sufficient as his. ,In
a republic, where, voters-ultimately
decide all public.questions*, we .count
it no mean support of the President to
give him the solid assurance 6f ftoo
millions of Votes; Th‘e Democratic jflkr-
t’y alonh" b'jt-riumbqrs the ’Radicals ;
and if the conservative Republicans
will simply stand aloof.aud do-noth
ing, we will, in the fall elections, give
the President a Congress that will
support* his polTcy. Let tVie Republi-
ca n stfpporters of r tlie Pi esidentj,, if
they 'please, .run separate candidates
of their own; let them,if they..please,
vote with the Democrats; let-them,
stay quite- away from tbepolls ;«• let
them do anything but positive mis-
chief-—-anything but reihfOrce. the
Radicals—and we guarantee the suc
cess of the President’s policy.. 1 Except
as a, uia.ke-wight against the President,
in the scale of the Radicals, they are
of no practical account whatever. If
they will but forbear that mischief,
the country is safe.
What do this fraction, this shred of
a party, except and claim'? Whether
they class themselves with the friends
or with the enemies of the President,
they will be but a small minority of
either. It is contrary to usage for. a
minority, of any party, to make its
nominations. If these men keep with
the Republicans, the Radicals will se
lect candidates for them to vote lor.
Under a republican government, it
is proper enough that those who think
alike should act together; but it is the
province of the majority of a party to
make the nominations. It is tolerably
safe to assume that the Radical majors
ity in the Republican party will not
allow Mr. Seward’s friends to make
their nominations for them; and
Democrats will hesitate somewhat be
fore offering them a privilege denied
them in their own pirty. Ufiless
they run separate candidates, they
will have to choose between those se
lected by President Johnson’s friends
and those selected bv his enemies;
and their declared intention to adhere
to the Republican organization is an
avowal that they mean to turn th? scale
against the President in the Congression
al elections by votingJor the candidates sey
lect-ed by his enemies, ........ .

Canada, is said to be*the same otficer

official report of Gen. Stoneman has

It will be interesting to the country to
know that these outrages are not trace
able to any complicity on the part of
the respectable inhabitants of Mem
phis, disloyal as they might hqye been
^during the rebellion, nor to the return-
ed rebid soldiers, as many people in
the North have surmised. The whole
series of tumults and tragedies, it ap
pears from our present information, re- ’
suited from a feeling of intense hatred -
entertained by the local police against
'a detachment of negro troops station
ed in Memphis, between whom there
have been foequent encounters in tbedis-
charge of their respective duties, With
the light before us of* tfle negro riate
that have occurred at certain period?,,
in the city of New York,, there can be ,
but little question as'lo the character
of the riots in Memphis. It lias been *
a desperate conflict ” bdttoeeii whites ‘
and blacks as to whsi shUtl <f6ftirriand’ ^
