H \ Convention of colored men con
vcncJ at indianapolis on last Tuesday
week. There were some forty or fifty del.
egatcs in attendance. a lengthy discus
sion arose on proposition to memorial
ize the Legislature in reference to the nat
ural rights of the colorel people of thu
State. The Indiana Journal gives the fol
lowing account Of the Conventions:
Tho principal object OF the convention
is TO PETITION the Legislature for the pas
sage of law making colored persons com
pctcnt witnesses in courts Of justice. The,
insis: on such measure as matter o
equal Justice to all classes of persons. I'm
der the law dcharring negroes and mulat
toes from testifyiag where white person
is party to a suit injustice had been don,
to both whites and blacks in numerous in
stances. Illustrations of the evil effects o
the law were given. White persons, i
was contendcd, suffered by it quite rs fire.
qucntly as negroes or mulattocs.
The Thirteenth Article of the new Con
stitution of Indiana, which prevents tn,
immigration of negroes TO the State. wa.
regarded as heartless anil cruel. 1t wa.
said that Maryland, Virginia and kentuck,
were agitating the question of Kidding
themselves of all free persons of color
Other slave States had laws preventing tho
emancipation of slaves within their limits
Indiana, through her constitution, says nj
more celorcl persons shall have home
within her borders. Where. asked mem.
bers Of the convention, were they to so.
They and their ancestors were brought in
tn the several States named without THEN
consent, and after having their lots cast fol
them by others they were denied the natu-
raj rights which the American Declaration
of Independence comedies to all men.
The question of the extension of suffrage
to colored men was briefly alluded to by
some of the speakers. but with no hope Of
being able. at this time, to effect any thing
in reference thereto. They thought that
while they were taxed to the full extent OF
their pecnniary means to support the gov
eminent. they should have some voice in
the direction Of that government and the
expenditure of their own money.
Many of the points made were sustain
Cd with considerable strength of argument

his judgement in selecting the place where
it should be deposited. The result of the
exercise of this Judgment has sometimes
been unfortunate. Is it not therefore bet
ter that the Legislature should determine
by law the kind of money which shall be re-
ceivcd by the various County Treasurors
for State taxes, and provide a suitable
place OF deposit, in which the Treasurer
of State shall retain it, until the laws re-
quire its disbursement. In determining
the kind OF money to be received. is not
the highest safety sof the State secured in
recurring it in the constitutional currency
of the government? If you proy;,l.. that
the taxes may be paid in the notes of
banks, you simply loan 10 those insst;,,-

The effect OF confering upon the Treas

that law be passed. providing that tho

that the Treasurer of State receive n prop.

"The little flower that blooms at the going

and nativity than the mountain white lily
As carly as February, the strange floral beau

around which the earth had been exposed by

RIGHT NoTIoNs.-One of the ablest, and TO
the mining community at least, decidedly the
most interesting debate which has occurred
during the present session of the Legislature,
came off in the Assembly last week, on the
joint resolution offered by Mr. Pixlev rela-
tive to the mineral lands of this State. The
resolutions, which propose the survey and
donation, or sale, in small sections of the
lands in question, were warmly defended by
their author but his remarks evinced much
Ignorance of the actual condition of affairs in
the regions for which he wishes to inaugur-
ate new system of tenure. His assertion
that, in consequence of the mineral land not
having been surveyed and sold, great confu-
sion has arisen from the uncertainty of its
tenure, and from conflicting local laws regu--
lating the possession thereof, was convincing
ly refuted by Mr.. Buck of Tuolumne, who
made the most sound, practical and weighty
argument we have read on the subject He
remarked that each district has a common
law adapted to its own characteristics and
peculiarities which IS perfect. They never
conflict with each other, because the iurisdic-
tional limits of any set Of laws is described
perfectly; and besides that, every miner
whose interest is to be affected by the laws,
helped to frame them, and knows to a Ger
tainty where and to what they extend Mr..
Buck eontended very justly, that if the min
eral lands were parcelled out into lots and
held by fee simple titles, emigration to the
State would be checked, instead of increased
as held by the friends OF the resolutions. The
great inducement to immigration may be
found in the fact that the mineral lands have
been held as one vast common, where the
rich and the poor can meet on equal terms.
and where if piece of land is abandoned by
one to-day 1t can be taken up by another to-
morrow, without cost or trouble, and may
yield him a support or a fortune. The miner
being secure in his possessory title and hav-
ing his rights protected by laws Of his own
framing which have received legislative sane
tion, does not want permanent interest in
ground that cannot have permanent value,
and asks nothing but to be let alone.-Hy
