Convention.


anxiety to SEQ the course of the color
cd population Of the South in the pre-
paration for the Convention: that in
the course of a few weeks will assem-
BILE, i'll conformity with tho reconstruc-
tion acts Of Congress. The situation
presents phenomenon for which tho
political history of tho world affords
no parallel--thc sudden acquisition Of
political power by race distinct from
the hitherto dominant population--a
racc Ignorant and ponnilcss. The.
anxiety is to SEQ how this raco is go-
ing to exercise thcir new prerogativc.
Are they going to recognize their ut
ter absolute incompctcncy and seek
tho aid Of the intelligent white citi-
zcns Of the country--or will they de-
monstratc the a.rocity of Congress
and thoir own mnlitncss for political
franchises, by passing over tho supc-
rior qualifications of tho educated
white man and committing the digni-
ty and future Of the State to ignorant
Representatives Of their own color.
Now it is matter Of common rumor
that in various Districts of the State
colorcd delegations have been formal
ly nominated for tho Convention.
What can DC the moaning of such u
procedure : Are they inflated by the
hypocritical and insidious nattcry of
yankee cmissalics into an idea of su-
periorityl or do thoy mistrust tho
triondlness of tho whitcsl or lastly dc
they mean mischief Upon what
other assumption can they explain the
foolish policy Of cntrusting to igno.

Wo would dcplorc above measure
such policy among the negroes, and
wo caution them against tho madness
of executing it. We tell them serious
ly that il will be construed into un-
friendly and sinister designs, and that
twill alicnatc tho feeling of many
white men who now recognize thoir
political rights, and who are disposed
TO render tbom friendly assistance in
thcir novel position.
Let our negroes consider this we'll.
lot thcm reflect npon tho difficulties
and subtlotics Of law making. Let
them realize their untutorcd history,
without experience, information or
any other qualification, and let thcm
refrain from stupldly, usurping what
can only mako them rcdiculous--the
trust and responsibility of tho law
giver.
Many white gentlemen have assur-
cd them Of thcir friendship. That ought
to be q sufficient guarantee of proteo-
ton. But in addition to this they
have tho double remedy and safeguard
of being invested with the right of rati.
flying or rejecting the work Of tho Con-
vontion, and ofhaving that work also
submitted to tho approval or disap-
proval of Congress.

GENERAL GRANT AN Our AN Our
RADIcAL.-Gencral Sheridan, while
on HIS way from Washington to Phla-
delphia, spoke as follows to one of the
party, as reported by the Philadel-
phin En9uirer:
"The Reconstruction acts of Con.
grcss are tho only measures calculated
to benefit the people of the Southern
States. Allof my acts while in COM
mand of the Department of Mississippi
and Louisiana were not only fully in.
dorscd by General Grant, but in reali-
ty might he considered the execution
of General Grants own orders. II
the first letter written by General
Grant TO President Johnson regard
ing my removal was to made public,
tho people of the North would he as
tonished at its radical tone, and when
it is published, tho people will find
that lc (Grant) is radical to the core.
AS far as radicalism is concerned,
General Grant is moro so than | am,
and in several instances I have writ
ton to him asking to modify the in
structions sont me, as being too cx-
tremc to suit the occasion for which
they were intended"

The KNABE +" PIANo!-The great

the "Knabe" Piano the most perfect
of all Pianos. So great is the demand
for them that although the factory is
one of the largest in the world. being
capable of turning out from thirty
five to fifty per week, yet it is impos-
sible to keep up supply. The fol-
lowing testimonial is one of a large
number in our possession, recently re-
ceived from the first masters in the
profession: ~. 49,,
Messrs. VIM. Knabe & C6.-GENTs:
Our Opera Troupe are at present
using four of your justly celebrated
Pianos, and as the exponent of the
views and opinions of the various ar
lists, permit me to say: | consider
them : as unsurpassed IN brillidn-
ca and excellence, and pre- emf
nent, without rival in this
country or in Europe. Their superb
ority of tone, combining great depth
and powerfulvolume, with rich aud
peculiarly clear and even trebel, to-
gether with magic elasticity of touch
and action, render them superior to
the other instruments, which rarely if
ever combine these most essential re-
quisites. Profoundly impressed with
the many valuable qualities of these
Pianos. ] most cheerfully endorse the
high and meritorious encOniums
everywhere pronounced upon them.

the fire originated or what was the amount
of damage sustained. The delay of the
steam engines last night seemed to be oc-
casioned by the distance to be traversed
from the stable to the lower engine house.
We were at this engine house few min
utes after the alarm was first sounded, and
after remaining there several minutes we
walked down to the corner of Second and
Division Streets-a square and half
where we met the horses coming at a gait
that indicated that The riders were fearful
of violating the ordinance against fast
riding in the streets. The engineer was
prompt, and was busy firing up when we
reached the engine house. The horses
should be kept under the same roof with
the engine if possible, and the drivers
should be always with them, and have
them well trained.

Court RenOrfs.

RECORDERS CoURT.-Business in the Re-
corder's Court is but little improved. One
young man was up yesterday for fast riding
in the street and fined IS, with So SIS costs.
There were two others riding fast with him
at the same time, but the police failed to
catch or recognize them, and the young
man, less fortunate, declined giving their
names until he has had time to reflect
upon it. One or two other complaints were
made of trivial otfenses, but the parties
have not been arrested. f
BEFORE JUSTICE WALKER. A female
woman of the African persuasion made
complaint before Justice Walker against
a man and his wife tor assault and battery.
hut the parties had not been brought into
court up to late hour last evening. From
all the ia cts we could ascertain in the case,
we infer that the daughter of EtLiop rather
provoked any demonstration of assault
that may have been made.

TURNERS's HALL.-TheFe was another
large audience at Turner's Hall last night,
embracing much of the fashion and intel
igence of the city, to witness the We nder-
full gymnastic feats of the ROllande Bro
theirs. We dropped in for a moment as we
returned from the fire, and found the au-
dience perfectly enthused with the I'M
paralIeled performance. There were many
fea performed for the first time, and
more daring and perilous than any hereto
fore exhibited. Indeed, il is speciality
with this unrivalled Troupe to improve
their exhibition each evening. Tonight
they will again appear in new characters,
including the Leap for Life" and a full
casket of brilliants, and a new and start
ling pantomime. This will, positively, be
their last appearance but one.
Tomorrow night they give benefit for
the orphan Asylum under the auspices of
the lady managers of that institution, and
we hope that every friend of the fatherIess
and M OF erless children will exert him or
herself to sell tickets and secure an over
flowing audience. The offer is generous on
the part of these extraordinary gymnasts,
and should be dsly appreciated by our Cit
liens.
Mr.. John Denier had another immense
audience TO witness his exhibition on the
tight rope, last night, and he gave the most
perfect satisfaction. We acknowledge the

ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIBLE SOCIETY,"
The Vanderburgh County Bible Society
held its anniversary last night in the lee
ture-room of the Walnut Street Chui CHI,
and was largely attended. Short and in
teresting speeches were made by Mr.. Alex
ander, County Agent; Rev. Mr.. Langdon,
City Agent; Rev. Mr.. Thompson, State
Agent; Mr.. John Ingle, Jr., Gen. Shackel-
ford, and perhaps Others. We could not
stay to hear all the speeches, nor would we
have time or space to give anything like a
fair synopsis of the speeches. Mr.. Lang
don gave many interesting incidents of his
experience in this city-some of which
were very affecting. Mr.. Thompson gave
a narrative of the work as it was being
carried on in various parts of the country.
The meeting taken altogether, was high
ly interesting one, and will, we hope, re-
suit in much good and an increased inter-
est in the Bible cause. --.
