Hard toS,uit.

Said, sho, Pray tell me, if you can,
Why men so bashfal are
They fall in love, and dream, and sigh,
And worship as afar;
But when they strive to tell tho tale,
They stutter, hesitate, and-fail!
I'VE ladies like man, yon know,
One not afraid to speak"
And here thought blush appeared
Upon the maiden's cheek.
Then to myself said, II see
This Inaiden's heart belong to me-"
Then out spake, !" Oh, lady fair,
Ny heart, my life, is thin6!
Since boldly speak my love,
Pray wilt thou not be mine 2"
No, sir, she said, with wondering stare,
"Strange, how presuming some men are!'

The heading to this article signifies
California Colored Citizens in Council"
which interesting fact we obtain from o
Sacramento dispatch of the 25th. From
the report of the proceedings we copy the
following:
The State Convention of the Colored
Citizens of California, assembled in Sac
ramento, yesterday, to elect delegates to
the National Convention, to meet at
Washington on December 9th, and ex-
press the demand for supplementary
Civil Rights Bill and for remodeling of
the State school laws. The Convention
met in the A. NJ. Z. Church, on Seventh
street, between G. and H, and was called
to order by P. Anderson, of the Pacific
Appeal, who read the call for the Con-
vention. d. d. Carter, of Nevada, was
unanimously chosen temporary Chair
man, and Chas. McDougal, of Sacramen.
to, temporary Secretary.
After reporting upon the credentials OF
members, appointing committees, etc.,
during which harmony and good feeling
prevailed, Peter Anderson, of the Pacific
Appeal, read written address, in which
it was recited that the colored vote had
heretofore been Republican; that $50, 0Ot
colored votes had been given for Grant
which, If otherwise cast, would have
caused his defeat; that nevertheless col
ored people ara still denied rights, ant
that il Supplementary Civil Rights Bill
did not pass, there would be no NOR,
black Republicans. .... F
Philip A. Bell, of San Francisco
moved that the address be laid on tn,
table. Small, of Sacramento, and Sa,
Joaquin delegate wanted either that tn
address should be tabled or put back il
Anderson's pocket, or in some way dis
posed of, whereby the Convention :woal,
not be suspected Of indorsing its sent
ments, Anderson finally pocketed tn
ssdress. We cannot see why Anderso
should have "coughed down" SO uncert
moniously.
