CINCINNATI, Nov. 8, 1873.
II, The Editor Of tie Neio National Era and Citi.en:
An intense excitement that can hardly be
appreciated in other sections of the country,
has been created here by the publication of
an article entitled
"a CASTE CONVENTION"
Few persons arc ready to believe that in
city possessing the intelligence and culture
reputed to be found here, there could be per-
sons silly enough to hope they could reor-
ganizc society upon such basis as color
prejudice Nevertheless, the fact is demon
strable that there are those among us who
possess good blood, but bad brains, and,
having assumed the fools cap, are now indig-
nant, because it happens to fit.
Your readers must pardon the egotism
which induces me to send YOU some of the
complimentary notices l have received, to-
gether with my final rejoinder, in the way Of
advice "to whom it may concern" upon that
subject:
The Colored People.
To the Editor of the Commercial:
There appeared in your paper of Sunday
last a very mischievous article signed "De-
puch," which is calculated to mislead those
who do not understand it. "Depugh's"
article is a burlesque on the colored people
of Cincinnati.
There was no such meeting held as de-
scribsd by him, and / defy 'Depugh' to
name the place or any person who took part
in the "Blue Vein Convention" He has
succeeded in arraying one class of eolored
citizens against the other by msrepresentng
them. l regret exceedingly that our people
are so sensitive and easily misled on a subject
of this kind, and "Depugh," knowing the
fact, should have the manliness to come out
and tell the public that his article was but n
joke. \ CoLoRED CITIZEN.
The Caste Convention.
To The Editor ollie Commercial:
Please to allow me the space in your val
liable paper to repel the injustice that was
perpetrated on the cOlored people, in a COM
munication head "Caste Convention" and
signed by one Depugh, the puke,) in your
| last Sunday morning issue. The conceited
ass has succeeded in arraying one class OF
our colored people against the other for no
other purpose than to give popularity, which
| he lost by allowing himself 30 be made a tool
| of by his superior. The pusillanimons knave
knew that he was lying when be said that q
certain class of young men and ladies were
forming themselves in q blue vein society
l demand of him to name the place and the
party that attended such a meeting. In one
Of his characters he describes me SO that
am pointed out by my acquaintance and sub.
jected to a great many insults. defy hin
or anybody else TO tell me when or where
ever made any distinction on account OF color

The following beautiful fragment IS taken

they heard the cry distinctly. Digging down,
they found the body Of "A mana spanish

WASHINGTON.

WAsHIyGToy, December 81. 1t is
stated semi-oficially that the policy Of
the government regarding our relations
with Spain will soon assume such dis
tinctiye and positive form as to prevent
the possibility of a recurrence Of the
Virginius affair Propositions viii soon
be submitted to Spain Of such a char
acter agto insure, in event Of their ac-
ceptance, peace aud quiet upon the
island Of Cuba, either through compro-
mise between the insurgent aud Madrid
governments or some equally efectual
method. No advices Of any character
have been received regarding the alleged
intention Of the Spanish government to
demand a return Of the Virginius and
repsration for damages. kilograms from
Madrid. ia which these allegations are
embraced, are pronounced to be without
foundation, while it is known that a
strong feeling very naturally exists in
Spain against submission by CASTELAR,
to the requirements Of the Palo-Fish
protocol. It is also known that the
Spanish authorities will patiently await
the arrival Of the neE Minister from the
United States before attempting, If they
SO intend, TO reopen the controversy.
It is not expected, however. that under
any circumstances a demand for the re-.
turn OF the Virginius will be made. but
If such demand should be made il will be
instantly rejected. When Cushing a..
rives at Madrid it is probable that nego
tiations viii be opened for the purpos,

CALLER GUSHING,

It is understood that the appointment
of Mr.. Caleb Gushing as Minister to
Spain is only temporary, and that when
he accomplishes the delicate and diff
cult negotiations pending between this
country and Spain, he will be allowed to
return. The sinking Of the steamer Vir-
ginius will not, probably, affect that
status OF the question to be determined.
The vessel was delivered to our Govern
ment, and is virtually, and in the eyes
Of the law, in our possession. Her sinking
was an accident for which, perhaps,
neither nation was responsible, unless it
can be shown that she had been injured
Intentionally by the spaniards after the
surrender was agreed upon. The ap-
pointment of Mr.. Cushing, in view Of his
well known opinions, is believed to NEAR
that flibustering is to be suppressed
and that all societies, juntas or person.
engaged in this country in raising fund
for the Cuban cause viii be proceeded
against by law. Mr. Cushing has Away
denounced flibusters.

Robson has telegraphed for the full
particulars.
Cabinet officers say that II no lives
were lost tho total destruction of the
vessel will be a great relief both TO this
aud the Spanish Government. II re-
reves both from a most embarrassing
question.
Robson, after the receipt of the dis
patch, proceeded to the Executive Man
sion to lay the news before the Presi'
dent and members of the Cabinet.
A dispatch to the Herald intimates
that the virginius was sunk by order Of
the Government, and asserts that the
late war preparations were useless ex-
peuditures, the ten millionSbeing squan'
dered TO fatten a Government fayorite.

DEAR SIR--S:noe you were at my
Office / have had the matter OF the APP
pointment Of Deputy Sheriiis under
consideration. You say that it is your
intention TO appoint posse comitatus
Of one hundred persons 10 preserve
order on election day, and suggest that
the friends of Mr.. League furnish you
the names of fifty of said posse. After
consultation with other members of the
Executive Committee it is thought that
the presence of such posse would have
a far different effect, and perhaps lead
10 the very trouble you and | wish to
avert. My opinion is that the citizens
are anxious to have fair election, and
more than ever in favor Of allowing
every man 70 vote as he pleases. We
are perfectly willing to leave the whole
matter where it properly belongs-with
the Chief OF Police, and are entirely
satisfied that his force is ample to pre-
serve order and protect all persons in
their right to the exercise of the elective
franchise.
| have the honor to be, sir, very
truly WIN. j. SMITH,
