Pursuant to public notice the citizens of Hardeman assembled at the court room last Monday for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Convention which takes place at the State Capital on the 16th of the present month.

ROSE, Esq., was called to the chair, and on motion, W. M. JOHNSON was chosen secretary.

By request, the address of the conservative members of the Legislature was read, after which it was moved by H. R.

PARRISH, Thomas JONES, and J. B. FAWCETT.

After the business appertaining to the gubernatorial canvas had been transacted, it was then deemed advisable to select delegates from the civil districts to attend a district convention, should one be called, for the purpose of selecting a suitable candidate for Congress.

This court, Judge W. P. BOND, presiding, has been in session during the present week and owing to the large amount of business to be transacted, drew thither from day-to-day a large concourse of interested parties and spectators. Among the members of the bar in attendance we noticed the following distinguished gentlemen: W. F. TALLEY, Attorney General; Messrs. Humphreys and Pulliam of Somerville; Thomas R. SMITH, of Memphis; Alex CAMPBELL, of Jackson; Calvin JONES, H. C. MOORMAN; Thomas AVERY, Memphis; and William H. STEPHENS. The case of the State vs. Cross was continued until the next term of the court, the defendant showing that he was not ready for trial, owing to the absence of important witnesses; the case of the State vs. Parks was also continued. The following are the names of the Grand Jurors: Milton CROSS, foreman, William NUCKOLLS, B. F. USSERY, R. S. CARTER, V. TREESE, J. B. WILKINSON, Robert CLINTON, John CRAWFORD, Thomas E. MCCLENDON, Burrel SAULS, W. S. CARSON, W. R. HOWELL, John W. WILKES; B. F. MYERS, officer. The court will probably adjourn on next Monday; however, there are a number of very important cases pending, one of which, by change of venue, was brought up from Shelby county and involves the settlement of $30,000.
