NEGRO CONVENTION AT READING.-We
find the following account of negro con-
vention in Reading. in the New York pa
pers. Forney's Press-the special organ
of the negroes in this State had the report
of the affair: Reading, Pa, Aug. IA
The Pennsylvania Negro Equal Rights
League held two harmonious and enthusi-
astic session here TO-DAY. There was a ve-
ry full attendance and several speeches
were deivered-one by the President,
VIM. Nesbt; another BY the Chaplain,
John r. Nelson-expressing joy at the
progress made BY the league in its educa-
tional efforts, and promising the day was
not distant when negroes would vote in
Pennsylvania. Capt. E. Fl. Ranch, a
white soldier of Dick Couter's Regiment of
Pennsylvania Volunteers, spoke at length;
Pennsylvania was no longer a slave.hunt-
ing ground, thanks to Thadeus Stevens
(The mention of Mr.. Stevens, name drew
forth unboupded applause) He promised
that soon the right offranchise must be
vested in the negro. In the afternoon,
series of resolutions were passed, thanking
the Legislature for the bill granting negroes
tha right to ride in public conveyances :;
thanking Congress for its protection con
graduating the country on the Republican
victory in Tennessee; couBseling the negroes
of the South to stand bv the Republicans
who are the only hope here and there, and
appointing a committee to visit Congress
and press the extension of the franchise
bill to every State in the Union.

Gg The Harrisburg Telegraph, the cen
trail organ of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania, comes out squarely in favor
of negro suffrage in this and all the
Northern Statee, but it has not the hon
esty of manliness to advocate its submis-
sion to a vote of the people of the States
to be affected thereby. 1t evidently fears
the people, for it says sit is a question
which, if debated, State by State, must
arouse the old and buried prejudices Of
the vulgar and ignorant" Hence, to get
around the prejudices of the people, whom
it designates as vulgar and ignorant" it
calls upon Congress to do by usurpation
that which it fears the people of Penn
svlvania and other Northern States would
not do, ifleft free to act for themselves in
the matter.-Er.

The Issue.

We clip the following from the New
York Herald of the 22d ult., paper that
has no love for the Democratic party, out
which can state point in plain way
Let the people read what the Herald says
So far as the State election of next fall
is concerned there will be no question OF
candidates raised on either side. 1t is i'm
material what individuals may be in the
field for this or that office. The great is
sue to be decided will be one of principle
alone-whether we are to have a restored
Union under broad policy of general am
nesty and universal suffrage, reconstructing
the Southern States by giving all men,
black and white, the right to vote, or
whether, after squandering three or four
thousand millions of dollars to get rid of
the rule of negro owners and negro drivers
of the South, we are to give up the gov
ernmcnt of the country for a quarter of a
century to coalition Of Puritans and mig
gers.
1t is to settle both these issues, national
and local, that the War Democracy Of
New York are about to move and to per-
feet their organization and as they mate
rally contributed to put down the slave
owners rebellion, there is no doubt they
will do good service in securing thorough
change in our municipal affairs and in res
cuing the government of the nation from
the control of New England Puritans and
Southern negroes.

A REPUBLICAN VIEW OF THE SITUA-
TIoN.-The Pittsburg Republic declared
that it would have gladly supported Judge
Williams, but
"No word or act of ours, however could
be given in support of the dogma announ-
ced in the Williomsport platform-that
the Supreme Bench should be debased to
harmonic with the clamor of a political
majority. There are yet other reasons Of
equal weight which lead us to labor for
the election of the candidate of Democra-
cy in preference to his worthy opponent
The election of Judge Williams will be
claimed by the opposition as an endorse
ment of all the heresies of the Radicals,
including negro suffrage at the North by
enactment of Congress, continued and
more oppressive military despotism at the
South, which must also eventually extend
to the Northern States, and of all the con-
templated wrongs which the wicked and
corrupt Radical leaders have foreshadowed
or can invest. We thus define our own
position IN regard to tho canvass for the
office of Judge of the Supreme Court of
this State"

THE FATE OF CRINoLINE.-Crinoline is
growing "small by degrees and beautifully
less" Some ladies dispense with it alto
gether indoors, but this is just. as bad as
the other extreme. In Paris it is still al
most universally worn, but is quite unob-
trusive and almost imperceptible. There
are none of the violent fluctuations from
nothing to the old-fashioned rotudity,
which are still to be seen among US. We
ry small hoops and underskirts, gored, are
a necessity with gored dresses, and ladies
who would avoid the imputation of ignor-
ance and bad taste must remember this
A new skirt, all wool, made without plaits
so as to fit perfectly over small hoop, is
among the fall novelties. 1t is called the
Boulevard" and will naturally supercede
the Balmoral as it is light, durable; hand
some, and especially adapted to the re-
quirements of the present style of dress
1t is made in different STYLES; some plain,
some trimmed with several rows of alpaca
braid, and others with box plating,
bound on either edge with braid.

@,The radical newspapers are parading
before their readers the fact that the rad
ical state Legislature repealed the State
tax on real estate; and that without this,
Geo. Geary is rapidly paying off the state
debt. They neglect to tell the people
that the State authorities demand and re-.
ceive as large, if not a larger amount from
the funds collected for county purposes
than that realized from the old state tax.
1t makes but little difference by what name
a tax is called. The laboriug masses are
sure to have it to pay. The State tax on
real estate was pretended to be repealed
in order to deceive and humbug the peo-
pie.
Governor Geary is not paying the state
debt with money earned by himself.

Or CoURsE.--Old Ben Wade made a
speech atMarietta, Ohio, on the 29th, in
support Of the Radical course. He said
negro suffrage is the logical result of Re
publican principles. OF course; and so is
negro equality and miscegenaton--a mix
ture of the races. The Democrats used to
charge this tact upon the old Abolition
party, years ago, and they always denied
it. They Aaid they only meant free races.
They now admit that equality is the legit-
imote result of their action, and when they
demand miscegenation they will claim for
that the same prestige Legitimacy as Sc
quence ct Radicalism. Aud the claim
will be true.

PAYING DEARLY FOR THE WHISTLE
1t should rot be forgotten by taxpayers,
that it costs from $35,OOO,0O0 year to
support the army in the South-where
not a soldier is needed for any honest pur-
pose. This is high price to pay for the
whistle it is heavy tax upon the busi-
ness and industry of the Country. But
the high-priced whistle plays African
tunes and that is now the fashionable mu-
sic.

EVERY WORD TRUE.-The New York
Heratd says conviction is now working
the minds of the people that the immense
war debt was incurred, not to save the
Radical party and get the negro's vote for
that party. There are now six hundred
thousand men slaughtered, and three thou
sand millions of debt created simply to
build up fanatical party, to make bad
laws aud steal the public money.

The Stay Law.

GREESsv:LLE COUNTY, VA, January IA.
To tie Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:
have observed in your valuable paper
a well-written communication, signed
"Justice and Equality" in regard to the
stay law; and although ! shall not attempt
TO discuss its constitutionality, am con-
strained to say few words in reply. | will
premise by saying owe no old debts, and
can speak disinterestedly in the premises.
/ simply inquire: Should people who are
unfortunately in debt have no respite-no
relief?
Should they be left to the tender mer-
cics of creditors, many of whom would
take the last farthing from their starving
children. Ii takes two or more to make a
contract, and men who owe money Oh
tanned the consent of the party or parties
10 whom 1t is now owing. Negro property
was the basis of credit in Eastern Virginia,
and il has been destroyed unconStitutionaHy,
and without any means in their power 10
prevent it.
II a fruitful tree be robbed of all its
branches except one by the destructive
storm, should the woodman's axe be applied
to that or should it be allowed toremain, and
recover, and bear fruit again? Ny friend,
| write in kindness but let me beseech
YOU 10 have mercy on our own suffering
people. You may "enact at the polls a stay
at-home law" and you may have "ample
means to test the c0nStltutiopaluy OF the
stay law. and employ the ableSt counsel
| trust, in any event, it may tend 10 operate
for the most good to the greatest number
| contend that the people ought to have
some relief, and | believe the present Lee
gi>lature ,cW have the nerve and charity to
afford it. If your funds he "ample to en-
gage the able>t COUNSEL" / verify believe II
could he better applied in relieving the
thousands around you who owe money and
are suffering for bread than to spend 1t in
testing the consttutionali,y of the stay law
Should three -fourths of the people be made
paupers to make better of the other
fourth? favor the homestead bill intro
duced by Mr.. Ould, and am glad that the
stay law has been extended.
In my humble opinion, compromise
should be had between debtor and credi-
tor. am willing to compromise with halt
the principal due to me. | was never sued
or warranted, and never warranted or sued
any one, nor do expect to do it. i con-
clude by saying am candidate for no Of
fee or place, and never expect to be.
