Meeting of Colored Men at Cooper
Institute.

/ New YORK, Sept. IA mass meeting
OF colored citizens, was held tonight Of
Cooper Institute, TO hear the views Of the
delegates OF the colored Senators from
Louisiana inregard to the political griev.
ances Of that State. Col. Chas. Spencer
presided, and briefly addressed the meet.
Ing, explaining its object. y 't.e4 t-sa :.
Gen. Chester, (colorcd), then addressed
the meeting. He reviewed the. career ot
the REPUBLICAN party since the days OF
slavery, and urged every colorcd man in
the United States to cspouse It's doctrines.
RepubIicanism was the salvation Of the
blsckmen, and their freedom, even with
its powerful aid, was only gained
through blood and massacre. Governor
Warmoth, when he first ran for
office was an ayowed Republican. but
no sooner had he obtained the reins ofthe
Government than he abandoned his party
and coincided with the Democracy, and
by frand OF tho most corrupt character
caused tic ballot boxes at the last elec-
,ion 10 DO stuffed, sc. that neither white
nor black Republicans had q fair chance
at the polls. Throughout, his career was
one Of corruption, bribery and fraud.
Several. other, speakers addressed the
meeting IN the same strain, after which
resolution was adopted, condemning tho
CONDUCT Of Warmoth and sanctioning that
Of Kellogg, Judge. Durrell, and President
Grant, and calling on the coloreds race,
North and Sonth, TO support Grants adj
ministration.

rup Second Branch OF Council last
.venjng adopted resolution authorizing
,be Committee on the Fire Department
n contract ior tho erection Of Fire
Alarm Telegraph, at a cost not exceeding
,GMO. Our recollection is that q year
Sr two ago this same thing was offered to
Council for 5000. II there Is any req.
ann for this increase Of price, what Is 1t I?
We cannot help thinking that q fire alarm
telegraph is not the thing most needed for
the extinguishment Of fires in this city.
Our observation for years has been that
lelsys in getting the engines to fires have
never or very rarely been due to an ina
bllI,y to find out where the fire was, but
d causes wholly Independent Of the means
Of giving the alarm. The alarm telegraph
would have its advantages, no doubt, II
properly employed; but would it not be
better 10 expcnd that sum in so increasing
the efficiency Of the Department that the
engines could be got in motion and on the
ground promptly after the locality of the
IRE has been ascertained. This scheme
has been pressed on tho attention Of coun-
Gil with persistency which had 1t been
employed in adding TO the efficiency Of
the Fire Department would by this time
have made 1t one Of the best in the coun-
try. There may be no job in this thing.
We do not say-for we do not know
that there is. We only express the hope
that the First Branch before concurring
with the second will consider carefully
whether this Is the thing first and most
needed, or whether the same sum would
not accomplish more II expended on the
Department in other directions, also why
$1,000 is now added to the price asked
three or four years ago.

lPlom The Cleveland Leader)
The reelection Of Governor Noyes and
The general State ticket being conceded
BY all parties, the interest Of tho campaign
II Ohio ali turns on the election OF Leg
stature. Past contests have shown that
while the Republican party is strong
enough TO hold q decisive control over
both branches Of the Legislature, they
have suffered Il TO slip out oi their hands
by over -confdencein their own strength.
The election OF 1867, In which the Repub:
leans barely carried the State ticket and
Lost the Legislature and o United States
Senator, should be borne 10 mind by the
over confident Republicans this iall. There
Is no question but that tho Republican
party is strong enough 70 secure .
clear majority In the Legislature this
winter. But tcA it2 The elections since
1867 have shown the Republicans to hold
clear working majority. Taking the
yo;e Of last year on Secretary OF State as
basis on which TO. figure, we have clear
Republican majority OF three on Joint
ballot That Is counting on a lie In the
Senate and a Republican majority OF three
tn,he House. The vote OF last years State
election Is probably the best upon which to
base calculations. II makes the strongest
possible showing To-; the Democrats who
polled very iull vote, and 1t shows
the Republicans that they have work
before them. A Democratic gain
Of Two members' q. the Legislature
Ga this basis would secure the rc'elec-
ton Of Senator Thurman. There are
three or iour counties which are closely
Contested, and where the. result turns on
few votes either way. Two Of these
close districts which are now Republican
going Democratic would elect Thurman,
unless the Democrats should lose ono oi
Their close districts, which will not do TO
count upon, Iu this estimate we have
counted Hamilton county for the Demo-
etalic Ticket Indications now are that q
portion, lfnot oil, Of her delegation will be
Republican, The detection Of Pngh and
HfCesbeck and Collins and other party
leaders IRON the Democracy to the third
party movement, will materially weaken
lae organization. The German element
which went with the Democrats In The
G'eeley wild-goose chase last year will
divide this fall between the Republicans
