ADOPTION or \ MEMORIAL AND AN ADDREsS-FISAL
ADJOURNMENT.
~ TALRGElPB Tribune.
INpIANAPelIs, Nov. 9.--The COlored Convention adj
ourned sine die at II o'clock tonight, after four days
deliberations The work Of the day was the adoption OF
memorial to the Legislature; address to the voters Of
the State and the fnal Reports Of Committees. The
memorial presents the past record Of the race, proving
LOYALTY 10 the Government under every circumstance and
asking equality before the law and suffrage. They par
culary request that the Law be changed that they
NAV be allowed public schools The memorial IS
brf and eloquent. The address is more forcble and
makes the question o. suffrage more prominent Virtue
aud patriotism are thought necessary TO the voter
than intelligence, yet claiming that as they were sum-
cicnty intelligent to fight right they were certain not TO
vote wrong They DO not ask social equality. That -
not subject for legislation. II depends on culture aud
taste. Every Committee appointed made complete re-
ports This Convention is of the best ever held IN the
West by the coored men, II had in 1t minds Of high
order and will awaken zeal in the race in this state that
will have q permanent good effect.

@ The Joint Committee on Re-
construction, consisting of six Sena-
tors and nine Representatives, have
agreed on the following proposal Of
Constitutional Amendment which
was yesterday reported to the Senate
by Mr.. Fessenden of Maine:
ARTICLE -, Representative and
Direct Taxes shall be apportioned
among the several States which NAV
be included within this Union accord
ing to their respective number Of
persons in each State, excluding In
dians not taxed; prorided, that phen-
erer the siective franchise shall Be denied
or abridged IN any State, on account Of
race OF color, all persons Of such race or
color shall be excluded from the basis o.;
representation.
- This amendment virtually re-
mits tie question of Black Suffrage
to the several States, requiring only
that each shall abide by its own de-
cisiUn, and not count as a basis OF
political power in the Union such
portion of its population as it shall
deliberately deprive Of power and.
exclude from the body polite. In
other words, it says: Account your
Blacks men or brutes, but, if you ac-
count them brutes, do not ask other
States to regard them as men,"
Itseems difficult to imagine ground
whereon this rule can be nationally
objected 10. Its principle is in sub
stance embodied in our State Con-
stitution (Art. III. s4), which says:
IAN enumeration of the inhabitants
of the State shall be taken, under
the direction of the. Legislature, in
the year 1866, and at the end of every
ten years thereafter; anG the said
fSenate Districts shall be so altered
by the Legislature, at the first ses-
sies after the return of each enumer-
alton, that each district shall contain,
as nearly as may be, an equal num-
Der of inhabitants, excluding aliens and
persons of color not tazed" So also in
s., with regard to Assembly Dis
Irlcts.
If the majority in Congress
shall decide to take its stand on the
practical and reasonable ground thus
taken, trusting to the silent but re-
sistless operation of Time, and State
pride, and self-interest, to bring each
State TO a practical recognition Of
the equal right of its humber class,
we feel confident that its trust will
not be vain.

IMPORTANT TO SoLDIERs-A prop

was referred, and with q fair pros

subsequent Congress, to equalize the

Soldiers are cautioned against send
ing away their discharges to foreign
claim agents, in anticipation of such
congressional action. The object Of
such agents as have flooded the coun-
try with their advertisements is to
obtain a monopoly of those claims
and thus be able to demand their
own fees in their collection. As .
soldier we wonld advise them to
await the action of Congress, and
when such provisions are made, and
of which they will be promptly in
formed, place their claims in the
hands of agents with whom they are
personally acquainted and know are
qualified to prosecute the sum, 40
they will be at much less cost snd
trouble by so doing, and obviate all
risks of fraud.

THE TAX ON EDUCATION.

The report of the Commissioners
upon the revenue system is awaited
with the utmost interest by all who
feel that the recommendations oi
gentlemen so wisely selected, and
who have so faithfully devoted them.
selves to their arduous work, must
necessarily have great weight with
Congress. We trust that two facts
will not have escaped their attention;
that English publishing houses are
rapidly establirhing agencies in this
country, and that school committees
and teachers in all parts of the land
are busily devising means to avoid
the expence of schoolbooks, the pri
ces of which are necessarily so high.
I Cheap schoolbooks are surely q
cardinal necessity of the United
States. The one thing that should
escape taxation is education. We
certainly do not say that any trade
should be favored at the expense OF
any other, but we do ask whether
taxes which materially lessen the
circulation of school books do not
harm the country more than they
help 1t? I
Paper, which is the principal ma
terial Of books, after the chemicals
used in its manufacture have paid 4
heavy duty, is taxed as a whole, un-
der the Internal Revenr e act. The
printing ink and all the materials
used in boCkbinding also pay separ-
ate taxes Finally, the finished book
is taxed as a whole. In England,
where, as In this country, foreign
rags are imported free, BOOKS, paper,
etc, are especially exempted from
taxation, and the English manufac
:urer is able to pay his dnties and
land books in New York or Boston

can make them here.

state of things is to send our book.

paper mills, and force our skilled
workmen into other channels Of labor
Yet three quarters OF the works now
published in this country are books
of education Do we wish that Eng
land should write and make them
