The principal features of the pro-
gramme were the Hallelujah Chorus from
the Messiah, the selection from the st.
Paul, the Chorus from Handels Sam
SON." "Let their celestial concerts all
unite" the Motett in G by Mozart, and

On the third day at the Morning SEES
sion the President called for Mr.. 7. 9.
Eato, delegate from the Colored
Young Mems Association of New York.
Mr., Eato was received with the greatest
enthusiasm by the Convention, and 1t
was some time before he could proceed.
He said that he rejoiced that he stood
upon Her Gracious Majesty's dominions
ia Canada. He had reason to feel thank
full that this country had, in the past,
ever furnished an asylum to the oppres-
sed and down-trodden of his race; and,
he reioiced that he was enabled to ap-
pear this morning under the glorious
banner of Christ, and amidst an assem-
bly, of Christians. Here they could shake
hands and call all brethren. He APP
pearld as the representative OF the Col.
CURED Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton of New York, one which had been
planted by the Young Mems Christian
Association of that city. 1t was the
first ever established among his African
brethren; and he believed that these
and kindred efforts would prove far more
successful than any political measure In
elevating the great mass of the colored
population.
The following resolution was adopted.
Resolvsd-That the primary object OF
Young Mems Christian Associations,
was to elevate and purify the moral
character of young men in the sphere oil
their influence.
Mr., Whittimore, of Cambridge, Mass
read an essay, which he proceeded to do
the subject being Literary Glasses in con
nection with Young Mems Christian AS
sociations. The discourse abounded IL
interesting and practical thoughts anc
suggestions touching various matters
embraced in the subject. Various meth
DDS of turning literary classes to TIL
best account, in the most etfectual Cul
tivation and training of the mind, wer
ably pointed out. The conclusion O
this able and eloquent essay was greeted
with loud applause.
We shall conclude our report of tn

We are gratiied. to learn, from the
Alexandria Gazette, that the colored
population of that city are waking
up to the issuesiof the day, and are
beginning to realize the true charac-
ter ofsome Of their would-be leaders
from abroad Many of the more in
Z telligent and prominent among them
are denounoing, in fierce terms, the
duplicity and party trickery of those
who seek to use them as n lever to
hoist them into office. They declare
they will never nominate one of these
people, or vote for one under any
circumstances; but that their votes
shall, if cast for o white man, be
given to some old and trustworthy
citizen. The Gazette remarks, that
those who express themselves in this
way occupy a position of influence
among the colored people, and are
familiar with their pretensions and
predictions. This revolution in
feeling, as we learn from the Virgi-
mia papers. was caused by the late
Richmond Convention, the majority
of the delegates attending that mon
lgrel assemblage expressing them
selves as being disgusted with the
conduct of the leaders, and the dis
graceful management of that meet
ing.
We have no doubt but that the
: thinking colored men in Virginia Us
Nwen as everywhere else, will feel that
whatever may be theirpower, it would
be impolitic to use it in way to ex-
aspcrate the white residents, whom
they should rather strive to conci-
late; and would be, if nothing more,
to their interest to cultivate the
kindly sentiments of the whites to-
wards them, seeing that they must
live with and be dependent on them,
at least for some years to come.
Above all party considerations, above
all delusive theories with regard to the
benefits conferred upon them by their
recent enfranchisement, we hope the
colored people of the South will con-
slider their true position, and, in
stead of opposing those among whom
they were raised, at the bidding of
strangers, for party purposes, they
will work with them for the benefit
of their section, not only in politics,
but in industrial pursuits.

Disoriaeriy Conduct OF Freedmen.

Dk8OEGeEAy OOnuucb On - EcC0fnehs
On last Wednesday, registration
was commenced in St.. Thomas Pa
rish, at the Brick Church, under the
Isuperintendence' of Mr.. l.. r. Smith,
white, and jeremiah Yates and Aaron
Logan, colored. Mr.. Smith is q
Northerner, who has lately settled in
this State, When the polls were
opened, about 1000 freedmen were
present, most of them being armed
with guns and muskets. Mr., Smith,
the chairman, addressed them on their
duties as citizens, explaining to them
their rights, and urging them to keep
the peace. Some of the freedmen
requested to know the rights of the
planters, and if their wages could be
deducted while absent from their
work at the polls. Mr.. Smith was
about to reply, when interrupted by
his colleague, who made violent ha-
ranguo, stating that the planters
could not interfere with their move
ments, and that this was the time to
assert their rights over the whites,
who could not be trusted.
He proceeded in this style of lam
guage for some time, until Mr.. Smith,
seeing that the passions of the crowd
were becoming excited, exercised his
authority, and adjourned the Board.
Pursuant to the adjournment, the
Board met Mt Mount Pleasant on
Monday, and when the books were
opened, about 800 freedmen we're
present, armed with various weapons.
Mr.. Smith again addressed the crowd,
when he was interrupted second
time by Aaron Logan, who was more
violent than on the former occasion.
On his declining to desist, Mr.. Smith
closed the poll, and came to the city
end reported the facts to Gen. Clitz,
the Commandant of the Post. Logan
came to the city on the same boat, to
present his statement of the case.
On hearing the circumstances, Gen.
Clitz promptly ordered the arrest of
Logan, who was sent to Castle Pinck-
ney, on a charge of impeding regis
tration.
Mr.. Smith returned to Mount Plea
SAINT yesterday, accompanied by Maj.
O'Brien, the Provost Marshal. The
poll was re-opened and the freedmen
invited to register. but this they de-
clined doing, unless Logan wps re-
leased. A number of the negroes
were armed, as on the previous occa-
sions, and Maj. O'Brien commanded
them to deliver their weapons, and
explained to them their violation of
law and order, but to no avail. Not
being supported by sufficient force
to ensure obedience, and being un-
willing to provoke q disturbance, he
returned to the city and reported the
facts to Gen. Clitz.
The freedmen, finding that they
were not permitted to enjoy the
rights that Logan had declared them
entitled to exercise, slowly dispersed,
with threats to burn the village if
they were not granted. We under
stand that Gen. Clitz will visit Mount
Pleasant this morning, with q suffi-
cient force to- prevent any riotous
assemblage, and to compel the freed
men to obey the laws of the land.
The entire difficulty was caused by
the action of Logan, and we trust
that when the freedmen see the fate
of their adviser, they will refrain
from any further disturbance.

PHoNoGRAPHY-MUNsoN VS.. GRA-
HAM.-We assume that most intelli-
gent persons have some idea of the
uses and advantages of knowledge
of photography. The advantages of
such knowledge are incalculable to
the professional man-especially the
editor. the teacher, the lawyer, the
preacher, the lecturer and the AIe,'a-
teur. We have devoted several
months to a careful comparison of
the two latest books published Ora
hams (Pitman's) and Munson's.
Graham's was published in 1853 and
Munson's in 1866-eight years later.
This throws the presumption at once
in favor of Munson. Upon exami-
nation, with the aid of some expe-
rience in teaching other branches of
knowledge, we find Munson supe-
rior to Graham in great number of
'points, the most important of which
are: 1. In abolishing the two styles
of Graham, the corresponding and
the reporting, and making the whole
system one and uniform. In Ora
ham, after the student has spent
months in acquiring the correspond
ing style, he must set in anew upon
the reporting style, which is different
in SO many particulars and princi-
pies from the one already acquired,
that the work is almost equal to
learning an utterly different system.
Munson's entire system is about as
long, but not SO hard to learn, rs
Graham's corresponding part. 2. In
abolishing the old turnover plan ap-
piled to + and V, thus getting quit of
most perplexing source of confu-
sion and discouragement to the stu
dent. 3. In adopting the new and
natural scale for the dot-vowels. 4. In
adding the ter, acuy and gag hooks,
thus shortening large class of words.
With such advantages, we believe
that Munson is far superior to Gra-
ham; and we further estimate that
his system can be thoroughly learned
in, at farthest, three-fourths of the
time required to learn Graham to the
same degree. We are not indebted
to either of these men for any favors,
or even courtesies, and present our
opinions for what they are worth
from our own standpoint: Duffie &
Chapman have both books. Gra-
hams sells at 80; while Munson's is
cheaper at 1926, because, in connec-
ton with the former, you have to
buy lot Of collateral books, readers,
dictionaries, &c. J. w. d.
