Debate followed. q.
Bayne favored Harris, and said if color
WIS not admitted to the ticket he would quit
it, sure as you born.
Flynn, Of Dsnville, was In favor Of Har-
ris. 1t would place the poor black man in
his proper place, and do away with the aris-
tocracy. He wouldn't vote for any man not
pardoned. f!.fslT.iA" ls- ca .s.
Tucker also favored Harris.
A delegate from Norfolk was in favor of
Harris erregardiess Of his color. He was o
man. Ef q man was q man he was man,
and ought to be treated as man. He was
either a man or long-tail rat or mouse
one or tother. Ef he was q long-tail rat, he
would show his tail If he was mouse, he
would 60, to his hole |; and if he was man,
he would stan out and show ,hisself.
Lewis Lindsey said the question was not
in regards Of color, but it was offered for
competent men to take the nominations.
They wanted men of able ,bility, who could
confute with any man offered. This was
the time for the rights of Meriken citizens,
and ef any man would follow his antece-
dents they would find that he had been in
favor Of these Meriken gentlemen for these
Lieutenant Governors. The question was
not in regards Of color, and eff men Of the
more greater bility would be put forward
the patriotics would march forward in bold
body. .5iE@t
Several others spoke pro and CON, and
under cell for the previous question the
ballot was taken. = AtI this hour (6:30 P.
N.Y. it has not proceeded very far, although
far enough to make it pretty sure that Har-
ris will be nominated.
COL0RED DELEGATE TAKEN DOWN.
Last night Bland, the Prince Edward
colleague of Yankee Allen, went into Jar
rats Hotel and made himself conspicuous
by his bearing in and about the office. Mr..
Brown, the brother Of the proprietor, ap-
preached him, and in quiet manner asked
him what he wished. He replied that he
wanted to gee some one in Room 4S. Mr..
Brown told him that there was no one in the
room st that time. Bland said that he in
tended to remain there until he saw the
party. Whereupon he was asked to leave the
hotel, as his presence might lead to dis
turbance, several of the guests having OBJ
jected to his being there. Bland refused
to leave until he should be forced to do 60.
A policeman was called in, who put Bland
out, and was about to release him from ar
rest, when he insisted that he should be
carried to the proper authorities. Accord
ingly, he was carried to Jail, and there
bailed for his appearance before the
Mayor this morning. He made his appear
ance, and Mayor Burgess, after hearing the
testimony, in keeping with the above-men-
toned facts, decided that Bland was in the
wrong. Jarratt's Hotel was known to be
kept for the accommodation of white
guests, and the proprietors had q perfect
right to eject colored persons who intruded
themselves. In this case Bland had no
right in the house, as he was not registered
as o guest, and he should have left when
ordered. -s.~. lDw a4r-g~
After the Mayor had finished, Bland said
g" beg leave to differ with your Honor"
Mayor: What, sir? With me
Bland: Not exactly to di fer, but rather
to ask question. -
He then asked the Mayor what recourse
was left him. The Mayor answered that
he was judge and not counsellor at law,
and Bland must consult a lawyer. f.
p Bland, it is understood, contemplates a
suit under the civil rights bill.
THE MELEE YESTERDAY.
In regard to the melee yesterday, I had
neglected to remark upon the conduct Of
the colored delegates present. In justice
to them, will say that they had nothing
whatever to do with the disorder which pre-
vailed. They were evidently in for peace,
and no one of them made any demonstra-
ton to the contrary. a Richmond dele
gate remarked to me, Hn.Ef dis de way
things is done in Petersburg, for Gods sake
lem me git back to Richmond
Your correspondent as" from this place,
in his letter of yesterday saw. fit to COM
ment on the vamosing Of the reporters
during the me,ee, "natiye and foreign"
in rather slurring manner. Personally I
would prefer to let it pass, but my contreres
complain Of it, and obj jectdecidedly to being
misrepresented and mentioned in a manner
so disrespectful as would lead your'readers
to think that he clsssed the reporters as a
part and parcel of the mob assembled. Your
correspondent was probably some distance
from the scene, and made his statement
upon hearsay. In the first place, the re-
,porters we're there in the performance of
their legitimate duties, and had nothing
whatever to do with the proceedings one
way or the other, except to report them.
When the row commenced, those who were
on the same side of the church with
myself, responsive to reportorial instinct,
obtained good gpoints of observation, stood
thcir ground, and took notes Of proceedings.
They notonIy did this, but closed the windows
in their neighborhood, and prevented the
egress of many timid delegates. In this
party a class the representatives OF the
DispGtch, Enquirer and Examiner, Asso-
'ciated Press, New York Tribune, Spring
field Rspu5lican, and Petersburg Times.
AS to those on the other side of the stand
I am not able to speak. I mention this as
q matter Of Justice to my complaining COR
freres. = % { va Z kF.a DENIS
