most difficult State to organize because OF
the prejudice against secret organizations. &
The report says the committee, having
gone over the whole ground as above, arrive
at the conclusions: ~-- f---+
1st. That with constant, systematic, ana
vigorous action the League can complete Its
organizations held in the South.
Cd That by reviving the order in the
Northwest it can carry for the Republican
party all of the Lake and Mississippi States
and Kansas and Nebraska; that it can hold
all the New England States save Connectl-
cut; that Oregon and Nevada can be held,
and that with sufficient effort California may
be recovered; and that Pennsylvania can De
made secure. This leaves to the democracy
the border States of Kentucky, Maryland,
Delaware, and one New England State, Con-
necticut, and the option Of contestlng with
us for the supremacy in New Jersey NOW
York and California and they cnn have no
more if Congress will act with reasonable
discretion and firmness and the party and
League will unitedly do their whole duty as
they did in 1868, 1864, 1865, 1865.
The report concludes with certain suSges-
lions as to the effective working OF the
League, and states that its success will de
pencls in II great measures on the financial
support received, and further suggests the
formation OF u practical and efficient tinancl-
al system.
The report was accepted and referred to a
committee consisting of Messrs. Mackey,
South Carolina Gwenner, Pennsylvania;
Powell, New York Chester, Illinois; Full
ing, North Carolina Cook, Virginia; and
Wilson, Indiana.
The committee appointed to confer with
the National Republican Committee presen-
ted verbal report, stating that they had
reached the hall in which that committee
was in session Immediately after the ques-
ton of time had been decided in favor of the
goth day of May next and that assurances
had been given that every State, North and
South, would be represented in the Conven-
ton, and that the interview was of the most
satisfactory character
Mr.. Forten offered a preamble and series
of resolutions which were made the special
order for the evening session. After setting
forth that rs the results of the recent cleo
lions in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
other States demonstrated that the ignoring
of the right Of negroes to the ballot Is to in
sure the defeat of the Republican party, and
expose the whole country to the terrible pro-
liability OF Il reign of Democracy, and that
the loyal men looked to Congress for sup
port and appropriate action in the premises,
they provided for the appointment of COM
mittee to visit the members of Congress
connected with the organization, and to urge
them to pass bill which will extend the
right to vote, unless guilty of crime, to every
American citizen, regardless of color, thereby
establishing in every State republican form
of government such us is expressly deman-
ded by the fourth section of the Constitu-
ton.
The convention then adjourned until u

National U. l.. A.

We publish to-day, from the Chronicle,
the proceedings of the National Council re-
Gently in session at Washington. The ac-
counts given by the distinguished President,
Judge Edmunds, of the progress of the Or
der, are most gratifying. This Order is the
great nursery of loyalty for the whole coun-
try; and without its aid the reconstruction
of the Southern States would have been
very difficult, if not impracticable. But the
work is not yet accomplished. Let every
member of the League, and every true Re
publican address himself with renewed zeal
to the work, until the heaven of loyalty
shall leaven the whole lump, and the State
is restored to the Union on the broad basis
of justice and equal rights.
We are especially gratifed at the action
of the Grand Council ON the subject of man
hood suffrage. No true Republican in these
Southern States will support any man 70
President or Vice President, who is not firm
ly and solemnly pledged to the great prin :
ciple of manhood suffrage.

ing voted for on a general ticket, or elected

have time to take a census of this part OF
the population. He proposes still further,
as soon as tleir@constitution is formed by
the delegates, and ready to be submitted to
Congress, the that convention shall, as an in
dependent body, have power to establish
State governments in lieu of the district
commanders.
The delegation in body said that such
| legislation would be attended with the best
results in the entire South anil would make
an immense difference in the popular vote,
| Mr.. Stevens inquired whether the old
masters and neighbors of the colored people
were able to seduce them from proper dis
charge of their duty
Mr. Harris said, speaking for North Caro-
lima, that there was but one means by which
they could possibly be made to do such
wrong, and that means, he felt positive, they
intended to resort to- The colored people
of his State were fully educated and ac-
quainted with the Importance OF their duty
at the polls. At the same time. they were
entirely dependent upon their former mas
tiers for their daily bread. These masters
now hoped to succeed by threatening to
turn the colored people out of employment,
to drive them from their farms, and to take
from them the means of gaining an honest
livelihood and, as last resort, to starre
them out. But the colored people had
learned by instinct that their permanent
salvation depends upon the success of the
Republican party. They are very well in
formed, and he felt confident they would
endure great privations rather than be be-
trayed by their former oppressors.
Virginia, said the remarks of Mr. Harris
were equally applicable to his own section.
Their opponents were determined to make
every effort to defeat the ratification of the
constitution, but they hoped to be able to
carry it, notwithstanding the efforts of their
enemies.
A white delegate said some eight hundred
men had already been turned out of employ
ment in Richmond on account of their votes
at the late election, and referred to the hero
ism they had manifested for their course
Their Union Leagues had been broken up
in Lynchbnre by the authorities on the most
trifllng pr"y"cirlons.
Mr.. Stevens expressed the hope that the
whole Southern vote would be cast for the
Republican party, SD rs TO gain the as
tendency and elect the next President; for
If this were secured. the work of reconstruct
ton 50 auspiciously begun might be tri-
umphantly completed.
After some further remarks the delega-
ton retired, much pleased with their inter-
view.
