that the Judge could not put IN q word After

porter In an auction room in Church street, earns

"My God, woman, don't see how any man can
live with you You should have a separation.
That tongue would drive any husband mad.'' He
subsequently ordered William to pay Mary So so

New ORLEANS, April 10.

NEW ORLEANS, April 10.
Frederick Douglass arrived last night
and presided to-day over the National
Colored Convention. Before taking the
chair he made speech in which he said
when the war began we heard that this
was the white mans government and
white mans war, no negro should have a
hand in it, even Abraham Lincoln did
not, at first believe us. At last with us
his object was to save the Union and
when the fight became severe he learned
wisdom. Not until they saw the star
spangled banner trampled in dust and
blood by the victorious rebels. did they
call for us. Hence the preservation Of
the Union was through us in part. l
don't say we saved the republic, but
we had hand in it and so derived our
freedom. He stated that he had been
denied hotel accommodation since he
left Washington, and advised the exer-
else of moral and political power to
bring about change in this respect.
We are more indebted to the Federal
government than to the States for what
rights we have and so should support it.
He stated that the party led by Senators
Trumbull and Schurz favored State
rights. In that party he had no conf
dence, but the Republican party must
come up higher. Gen. Grant is an hon
Orable man and one for whom he expects
to vote. (Cheers.) Yet the Republican
party has other leaders besides Gen.
Grant. Enthusiastic applause). There
is now man in Washington who repre-
sents the future and is a majority in
himself. A man at whose feet Grant may
learn wisdom. That man is Charles
Sumner. (Applause). l know them
both. They are great men. But Sum-
ner is steady. He is no Pickering light.
For % years he has worked for the Re-
publican party and hope may cease for
ever if l cease to give all honor to
Charles Sumner
On motion the house rose and gave
three cheers for Charles Sumner, and
Douglass concluded amidst loud ap-
plause.
A resolution was reported by the COM
mittce demanding the enforcement of
laws on the subject of civil rights, de-
handing equality in public conveyances,
hotels, etc, which was referred back to
the committee and made special order
for Monday.

leave to Great Britain the right to with
draw from the arbitration, should the
difference on the subject of indirect
damages not be settled.
Earl Russell thought that the govern
ment had failed to escape from the dill
Guilty. He declared that they ought not
under any circumstances to consent 10
the consideration of claims tor indirect
losses.
Lord Russell gave notice that, on the
22d inst, he should bring in motion
for an address to the Queen, praying
that instructions be given that the pro-
ceedings before the arbitration at Ge-
neva be suspended until the United
States withdraw their claims for indirect
damages.
The Duke of Richmond wanted to
have an understanding so that there
would be no possibility of the arbitrators
saving to England ''You complied with
the treaty, you entered your counter
case, therefore we shall proceed to
decision"
Earl Granville suggested that, whether
the counter-case was presented or not,
the arbitrator might go on with the
business of arbitration.
Lord Westbury wanted the jurisdic-
ton of the Geneva tribunal determined.
Earl Granville reiterated that he had
been careful to put the point so that
| England would not be compromised in
| the matter of indirect claims, that the
| United States Government had signified
! its agreement to this understanding.
The Marquis of Salisbury regretted
that the government had abandoned the
last chance of preventing the exercise by
the Geneva board of jurisdiction over
indirect claims, because the arbitrator
might award a lump sum without speci-
| fication.
The Duke of Somerset said that the
| governments course seriously imperilled
the country's position. The government
should have refused to present its coun-
ter-case until the claims for indirect
damages were withdrawn. This he de-
clared was the intention of the nation.
Lord Penzance gathered from what
Earl Granville had said that the gov
eminent was free to withdraw from
arbitration if the reply of the American
Government to the noble lords last note
persisted in the determination to present
! indirect claims.
After remarks by Lords Denmars and
Colonisay, the discussion ceased.
In the House of Commons, later i'll
the evening, Sir Wilfred Lawson moved
an address to the Crown praying that
measures be taken for the withdrawal of
Great Britain from any treaty binding
her to interfere with other nations by
war. After protracted debate the mo-
ton was negatived 1876 to 81.
