delegation to ne National Civil Right
Convention, accompanied by Senator
i West, called to-day on the President, whC
In responseito the address thanking hin
for the care and attention he had giyer
the colored people Of Louisiana, said ht
would always endeavor to secure for the
colofed man all the rights which should
accompany his enfranchisemeut. Certain
rights were still withheld, but he hoped
that ere long they would find themselves
In full possession OF all the legal privileges
which belong to freemen. He did NOT
know what Congress would do In the
matter, but he thought 1t likely that
body would ut It's present session pass
some civil rights bill, and that If such bill
Is defeated 1t will probably be because
some extreme measure will be urged by
persons claiming to be particular friends
of the colored man. After hand;shaking
the delegation took their leave. -pfD
