THE ELECTIONS IN SOUTHERN STATES
The Congressional Republican Central Com

South from which it appears that all of the South

go strongly Republican except Texas, which ls
doubtful. In that State registration has been de-

party largely interfered with by the lawlessness o.

THE NEGRO QUESTION IN RELIGIOUS BODY
LIVELY DISCUSSION.
An interesting and ludicrous emeute took place
to-day at the session of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association Convention for Maryland and the
District of Columbia, which is being held III this
city. Among the delegates were three represent
| ing the Colored Young Mems Association of Wash
ington. One Of them, by vote OF nineteen to ten
we're added to the list of vice-presidents. This
created much dissatisfaction on the part OF some
of the white delegates from Maryland, who ear
nestly protested against the act of the majority
| They wished to secede, being opposed to whites
/ and blacks mingling in the same body. The color
I ed vice-president regretted that the presence O.
delegates Of an association formed for Christian
purposes should produce discord. Several white
| delegates, looking at the matter in Christian
light said there could be no real cause for serious
dissatisfaction. One of the objectors declared ht
/ had been Confederate officer, and could witt
| sincerity extend the right hand Of fellowship tt
| the colored man, and to prove the truth of th'
rtterance he ssipped forward and earnestly shool
the colored vice-president by the hand. Notwlth
standing this, he could not conceive the propriet
Of making special provision whereby coloret
person should be made vce-presldent. Othe
obiectors declared similar views adding that the
| were friends of the colored man. The discussion
| was earnest on all sides, when white delegate
for the sake of harmony, offered resolution re
questing the colored vice-president to Withdraw
from that Office. The convention, by two majority
refused to lay the resolution on the table, and b
a majority OF six, also refused to suspend the rule
| in order to allow ayote on the resolution.
