BOSTON, March II, 1873.
The preliminary steps towards the election Of Q

taken in the Massachusetts Legislature to-day.

Beacon Hill there has been q daily counting Of

probably hear from some of them during his Sena-
toria services, unless they are slenced early by

The two leading candidates for the Vice Pres.

Congressional member of the western district.

The Hampton students' Concert.
Parepa-Rosa or Nilsson would have been cheered
al the sight OF the audience assembled at Steinway
Hall last night. And yet 1t was but a colored con-
cert-not Of the rose-tinted character which the
above mentioned artists were accustomed to, but
dusky in its elements A white audience sat and
applauded the efforts Of nineteen dark-skinned
voca!sts, who made up for want OF artistic train
Ing by deal OF earnestness, csmmendable energy
and an intimate knowledge of the selected themes
Even the much Wanted Handel and Haydn Society
would have failed to convey the occult sentiment
OF choruses like "Run, Mary, Run" and .Sweet
Canaan, :" and the baton of Carl Zerrahn would have
been pOwerless in the "Dat great gttin' up morn
in'." 1t requires dnsky RudersdOrn to ''See de
moon bleedin'," and an ebony Santley to .See de
dry bones creepn" However strange such
strains may sound to regular concerr-goers, the
Hampton students sing them we'll and even create
enthusiasm. 1t is not always mere correctness or
artistic mechanism that srirs an audience. Earn
estness, combined with fire, can do q great deal.
We have notable instance Of 1t on the eperatic
stage. The last concert OF these students takes

fighting for his liberty shall be wounded or
taken prisoner he shall be respected as q
soldier and not be hanged like pirate or q
dog" He appealed to the government to
concede to the Cubans the belligerent rights
to which they are entitled by a long and
heroic struggle, and because Spain had shown
her inability to conquer them. "When," he
exclaimed, twill men at the State Depart
ment and at the White House and the men at
the Capitol say that they are ready to accord
belligerents rightsp" He then tells the col
ored people that though the government is
hard of hearing it will act as soon as they
demand action and arouse the country to
sense of justice to the Cubans The conven-
ton understood well enough that the freedom
of the blacks in Cuba was not to be expected
from Spain, and that the Cubans had already
declared liberty TO the slaves. This move
ment of the colored people is significant, and
cannot fail to have powerful influence in the
end favorable to Cuban independence

1t is said that Messrs. Lemoyne and Crisp and
Miss Fanny Morant, Of the Fifth Avenue Theatre,

Boston seems to be particularly delighted with

asks for-'the truth and nothing but the
truth'-will be told, no matter who is
hurt-Cuban or Spaniard. On the smaller
question-for it is relatively smaller-which
agitates the Spanish bosom, namely, whether
Mr.. Henderson did or did not have an inter-
view with President Cespedes, we promise the
same illumination, regardless of the fact
that it was furnished us by a man bearing
credentials from the HERALD. No cause, how
ever otherwise worthy, could be permanently
assisted by Justification in such matter. and
no deception of the kind, if attempted, could
hope to escape ultimate detection Our en-
deavor is to reach the truth, and that once in
our hands we will give it unhesitatingly to the
world. whether it be General Riquelme or Mr..
Henderson who suffers thereby.
On review of the events which have tran
spired in relation to our representatives in
Cuba one fact will make itself patent-namely,
that they form a magnificent tribute to the
power welded by an independent American
journal in the interests of mankind General
Ceballos declined to countersign Mr..
O'Kelly's credentials to travel in and
report on what he had seen in the
island of Cuba, rebel and loyal but
the saluo conducto which carried him
serenely through was his authority from the
HERALD. As the independent, impartial jour
nalist he has been man apart from men.
The rules applied to others could not be made
to fit his case by any perversity or ingenuity
of the officials who administered in the Spanish
name. With the irresponsible curiosity
monger or the reckless adventurer the course
for action by the authorities might have been
clear; but they knew very well that
to shoot the impartial HERALD Commits
sioner as spy would be murder
would be assassination. The Captain
General in his action has tacitly admitted
this reasoning, and we say itwithout reproach.
The way is now clear for Mr.. O Kelly's return,
and, in common with the public, we look for
ward anxiously for his first words from the
rebel camp.

Freedom OF the Press I'm New Jersey.
The recent attempts made by some legis-
lative wiseacres in New Jersey to have the
HERALD correspondent expelled from seat
in o corner of the Senate chamber as .
means of frightening the HERALD out
of its opposition to railway monopoly
is about as sensible and effective as
would be the essay to keep out the tide off
Cape May with bean pole. These legis-
lators, for all their cunning in the ways of the
Pennsylvania Central, are especially verdant
on the rights of the press in this Republic of
ours. They certainly showed that Jersey
still cultivates the art of blushing,
for the Legislators are ashamed of
themselves. The removal of the reporter
camp stool from the floor of the chamber to
the gallery would, they observed, be of small
service in gagging the HERALD. This happy
thought worked slowly through their minds as
would Jersey bluebottle fly through saucer
of treacle. When at last it had done so, they
blushed with charming suffusion, as we have
before observed Now, it makes very little
difference whether our information is taken
from the gallery or the roof or the floor of
building, so long as we get it. This
we can accomplish without asking the
leave of Legislators interested in sustain
ing something which the HERALD in the
interest of the people decides to condemn.
We learn this evening that tom Scott has
decided to allow the General Railroad bill

The convention of colored people In Wash

especially to give expressions favorable 10 the
Cubans and the freedom of the slaves In Cuba.
1t took, however, wider range, and other
matters were discussed and acted upon as
well. The question of equal civil rights for
the colored people with the whites dme up
and resolution of sympathy with AID graft
tude to Senator Sumner was adopted, as was
also an address prepared ON the subject of
Cuba and civil rights The most interesting
part OF the proceedings was the speech of Gen.

belligerent rights to the Cubans b. our gov
