A National Colorcd Liberal Convention.
The New York Herald, of Sunday

The New York Herald, of Sunday
last, says:
We have received circular ro
questiug call negro men of the United
States friendly to the Liboral Ro
publican movement to meet in con
vcntion at Louisville, KY, Septembc,
2S, 1872" This call for q "National
| Colorcd Liberal Convention" Of ali
who are in favor Of the election OF
| Greeley and Brown is signed by
William II. Chambers, aud ad
dressed from tho Liberal Committee
Rooms, indianapolis, Ind. 1t has the
endorsement Of the Rev. j. B. Win
yard, and Rev. B. NJ. Williams, as
we'll as that Of William IL. Chambers,
under tn" head of Executive Com
mittee. Conventions Of every kind
and color are cropping out continually
at this season, and why should there
not be this colorcd diversion at Louis
vile as we'll as that Of the straight
out Bourbon Democrats ? Wo do
not suppose the gathering Of colorcd
Liberal Republicans will have much
influence upon the great mass Of
negro voters in the South, but it
might have some upon those of the
Northern States. The line is strictly
drawn in the South according to race.
The colorcd voters are MS solidly for
Grant and Wilson as tn, white voters
are for Greeley and Brown. But it
is we'll for intelligent negroes to dis.
cnss tho merits of the opposing can
didates and the principles they repro.
sent, though it would be b.ttor that
parties and Conventions should not
be basod upon race. There il, we
fear great trouble in prospect from
political parties in the South being
divided strictly by race andsif tho
intelligent negroes of the North can
DO anything to prevent that and to
avert the evil consequences we would
encourage the movement.

SOnth Carolina's Second Moses.

During the sitting of the recent
Boiling Convention, ut Columbia, a
man and brother told q talo out of
school as follows:
Samuel Lee, of Sumter, made o
speech. Hc said he was embarrassed,
because Moses was his bosom friend,
and some said his half brother, (roarA
Of laughter, Lee being oolored,) and
he could not support him. He pledg-
ed Sumner with four thousand votes
to tho honest ticket, but that il the
Democrats ran a third ticket, all the
Republicans would Immediately re-
unite and give tho Democrats the cor
rupt governm ent they would deserve.

peoples interests. We have no
more confidence in one than the other
and, in our opinion, nei her will give
US reform. Mr.. Tvml,nsou is pre-
sented to the people as most
righteous mau, who left the position
of Auditor because he found the eff
cials we're 50 corrupt that he could
not hold official Intercourse with
them. Now, long before Mr.. Tomliu-
son resigned his position as auditor
many Of the most stupendous frauds
against the people were committed by
these corrupt officials, aud, in his po-
a'tion he must have been fully ap-
prised of them. Then, in the name
OF honesty, we ask why did he not
disclo,e them 7 If he is the honest m n
he is represented to be, and saw, as he
says he did, the corruption Of the
other officials, why did he not come
out boldly and denounco the rascals :?
No, Mr.. Tomlinson, we could not
trust the man who would see mon
plotting our destruction and not warn
US Of our danger any more than we
would those who carried the plot into
exccution.-U Union Times.
If it required anything to show
that the reform of which Judge Orr
aud his followers into the boiling con.
veu,ion rrofesscd themselves to be
intent upon etfecting was q shallow
and meaningless pretepce, it will be
found in the language of every one of
them. not only at the convention,
but since they have arrived at home
that if the Liberal Republicans and
Democrats should bring out ticket
they will immediately abandon the
Geld aud coalesce with men whom
they have bitterly denounced as
thieves, robbers, liars aud villains.
According 10 their doctrine, o thiev-
ing Radical is infinitely preferable
to an honest Liberal or Democrat.
This Conduct demonstrates clearly
that the Boilers are after the purse
strings aud not actuated by any desire
To benefit the State Georgetown

MOle Wheat than Can be Sent to Market

a San Francisco journal says {:
"There is no prospect that the great
or part OF the wheat at San Joaquin
valley can be brought down to tide
water before the rainy season sets in.
The river is falling rapidly, and the
boating season on tho upper waite, ,
viii soon be over until the rains come. {.
One large landholder has 800, 600
bushels in the valley, aud having no
prospect Of getting it to market at
present, is making arrangements TO
store it in temporary sheds, where it
will remain until another season.
This necessity may not work any spe-
cial hardship for men Of large means,
no are i'll 40 hurry to realize, bat
farmers who are in debt and are pay
ing heavy interest neod the full
money value Of their wheat at once.
Most Of these can obtain advances,
but many such have already anticipa-
ted this advantage, and now want
the balonce to make ends meet. The
grain product this year in California
is in excess Of all the means Of trans
pOrtation.

In this matter In connection with any
committee tho House may appoint, But
there Is the additional reason which
should outweigh all others, that the Gov.
ernor haspassed upon and certified certain
Of the accounts ofthe Public Printer, and
which will comeup again for review, and
II the resolutions Of the majority be
adopted, the singular spectacle win be
presented OF committee to investigate
the accounts already passed upon by the
most potential member Of that commit.
tee. And while l have the highest opin.
Of the integrity Of the Governor, and
believe the people Of the State may safely
repose the honor Of the State In his hands,
yeta precedent 30 unusual and fraught
with such dangers when conferred on a
less scrupulouS person ought not 10 be
now set. In addition to this, the long
time that must elapse until the next
session Of tho Legislature, before any Of.
fetal publication Of the result Of the In.
vestigaton can be made, and tho conse-
quent uncertainty and want OF confidence
on the part Of the people, as well Us the
suspense IN which tho Public Printer
must DO kept, all demand the adoption Of
some speedier mode Of action. If any
gentleman upon the floor Of this House Is
actuated by no higher consideration than
those Of mere party fealty, II should in.
duce him TO vote for tho proposition
which will soonest satisfy the public mind
MS tothe guilt or innocence OF tho accused
and If guilty, that will soonest purge 1t OF
corruption. No party can long retain the
confidence Of The people and control
the destiny of the State or nation to
which tho faint Of fraud, extravaganza
and corruption is attached. Lett be in
Tammany rings or custom houses, in
New Orleans or West Virginia, the hon.
est intentions and tho purity Of the people,
though they be often long suffering, will
sooner or later rise in their might and
hurl oil such corrupt combinations from
power and place.
In conclusion, Mr.. Speaker, Let me hope
that the House will adopt that line Of
action which will soonest relieve the sus.
pcnse Of all parties and tho public, and
secure that full, fair and speedy trial which
the accused has a right TO demand, and
which we ought not to refuse, and if he
shall stand indicated and acquitted upon
such trial, none will rejoice more than
myself have aimed 10 discharge the
duties which you have imposed upon inc,
and from which l would gladly have
been relieved ifpossible, and which has
not been of my seeking, with IN eye sin.
