WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 10. - Professor
Langsdon, who intended to have attended the
convention of cOlored men at New Orleans as a
delegate from this district, but was stopped on
his way by the floods in Ohio, was the bearer of
letter addressed to him at his request by MIR,
Sumner. In these days when so many false.
hoods and inventions are attributed to the sena-
tor from Massachusetts it may be interesting to
read his own opinions.
The following is a copy of the letter:

convention should think more Of principles than
of men, except so far as men may stand for
principles Above all, let them insist on the
rights of their own much abused and insulted
people.
1t is absurd for any one to say that he "accepts
| the situation" and then deny the equal rights
of the colored man. If the Situation" is ac.

fore the law, SO that in all institutions, agencies
or conYeniences created or regulated by law
there can be no discrimination on account OF
color, but black man shall be treated as

In maintaining their rights, it will be proper
for the convention TO invoke the declaration OF
Independence, so that Its principles and prom

The liberal republican meeting in New York
presents useful study. II was large because
the democratic allies of its managers were sufi-
ciently numerous TO make it Sc. We are told
that mot few democratic organizations turned
out in force" Anon the democrats who made
themselves prominent on the platform was an
Eek confederate colonel" named Fellows. The
interest felt in the meeting by the democrats was
very great; and their newspapers made this
conspicuous in advance by means of double
loaded editorials. But many regular republj-
cans were present as lockers on +; and, more than
ooce, thelr presence was indicated by significant
oeuonSIatons. The Herald says:-" When
irumpnil made what he and his friends deemed
most palpaole bit against the president the
cheers and applause following upoo if were
equaledif not surpassed by the kisses and groo,,s
Of the friends Of the president" This demon.

is "as politically dead as Andrew Jackson

Senator Trumbul's speech which actuallv
pledges him to sustain the action of the "Cin.

"a notice has been given that there will be ,

fact that Judge Richardson of Middlesex conn

willing TO adopt the order if mt in milder terms.
Accordingly. a substitute proposed bv Mr.
Corswell was passed. ipstructinc The committee

When this subject had been disposed of. MIR.
Ely of Newton made motion that
the bills comprised in the report of
the committee on state commissionerships
be placed separately in the orders of the
day. This very remarkable motion was not
strictly in order at that time, as the speaker
ruled, and on subsequent motion of the same
gentleman to accomplish the object. discus.

speaker that the motion was inadmissable.

solve the bubble was sufficient for the consider.

Jumped together under one number in the or

bered in the list of house documents. There
was a general desire TO know why Mr.. Elv's mo-
lion was not in order, and probably TO ascertain
the facts in the case that gentleman appealed
from the speakers decision, which appeal, how
ever, he withdrew after the discussion had been
prolonged until the chair made statement of
the case, which gave the needed light. He said
that when the report of the committee was re-
ceiyed, it was laid on the table and ordered to
be printed without the bills being read. as tbey
must be under rule So, in order TO BRING them
before the house The speaker refused to allow
Mr.. Ely to withdraw his appeal. and The bouse
sustained him, of course, no one voting other

discussion was to find ont why fine hills copId

The changes in position of the states at the
beginning of successive decades deyelope some
interesting facts as TO their relative growth in
population. The first three, New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio, have kept their respective
stations without change for twenty years, but
Illinois promises to change places with Ohio
before the next national census. Iowa has adj
Nanced in relative rank faster than any other
state, and next comes Illinois, NJ ssouri, and
Michigan. Iowa, which was not a state in 1880,
has gained sixteen places in twenty years. II.
linois and Missouri have each risen the same
number since 1880, and Michigan has gained
thirteen in the same time. Massachusetts has
held her own remarkably well when we consider
the smalness Of her territory, and tue rapid
growth of the western states with which she
mas had to compete The other New England
states have all fallen from nine to thirteen
places in the scale.

was divided in such way that such action
could not he forced upon the house as would
lead to a debate, in which defence might have
been presented. The secretary of the treasury
was IN position where he could not well retain

The case is certainly very suspicious one and
clearly suggests unjust action, though, doubt
less, Internationally unjust action on the part
OF inc committee. If there are grounds for pro-
ceeding against Mr. Hulburd other than have
appeared in the printed evidence, the committee
owe II tto themselves to produce it, and, until
something more definite Is presented, the friends
OF Mr. Hulburd claim that they have a right to
be deeply dissatisfied with the steps thus far
taken. There is no more honorable or fair
minded man in congress than Mr.. Monroe,
OF Ohio, who drew the resolution against
the controller. He is besides, both able and
keenly conscientious. Still, there is very
general belief that in some way he, with other
members of his committee have been led to
adopt Judgment which the complete inyestiga-
| ton will not warrant. At any rate, it is simply
fair TO Mr.. Hulburd 10 give him every benefit OF
the doubt suggested by the facts presented
| above. Since the resolution of the committee

men, and leading business men from Chicago,
