Convention Of COlOre1 Citizens Of
Utica.

UTICA, September IA Convention of
delegates representing the colored citizens OF
the State is in session at the City Hall in this
city to-day. III. G. Nelson, of Norwich,
Chenango County, is permanent Chairman,
and J. j. Freeman, of New York, j. John
son, of Rome, q. ). Loguen, of Syracuse,
II. J. Jefferson, of Troy, and the Rev. {.
wood, OF Oswego, compose the Committee
on Resolutions. Chairman Nelson delivered
an address, saying that it was important for
the welfare and protection Of the colored
people OF this country that Congress should
pass the Civil Rights bill. There are AZ
delegates present.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
declaring that the present barbarities in the
South are due to policy altogether too len.
lent on the part ofthe Administration towards
the ex-rebels of the South, in enfranchising
the self.dsfranchised enemies of the Govern
ment to the disparagement of loyal colOred
citizens that we disapprove of the action OF
the President of the United States in pardon
ing the convicted and imprisoned Ku.Kux,
who should have been hanged, only for their
return to former haunts to recommit their
hellish Preparations on their inOtfensve
fellow-citizens that the defeat of the civil
rights bill IN the House of Representatives
is due to the conduct Of treacherous Repub-
Leans, and they deserve the ostracism OF
both white and cOlOred voters that we look
to the Republican party for the passage OF
an adequate civil rights bill that we earn
estly entreat the Republican party not to
nominate men who have put themselves on
record against this bill, or to nominate others
of the same principles, asserting that we will
positively withhold ovr support from the
same that the colored people of this State
recommend the denomination of Gen. Dix for
Governor, aud pledge him 20, 900 votes that
those of our own race who refuse to grant
civil rights to their own color for fear of the
disapprOval of the white factions, deserve the
severest condemnation, and are living dis
grace to the people with whom they are iden-
titled; that we call upon the American Gov
eminent to repress the existing Outrages IN
the South, and to protect the colored citizens,
in their natural rights, and anything short oil
that will be looked upon as failure to recos-
nize the rights guaranteed to us by the Con-
stitution of the United States that it the
President requires our services in the present
struggle of right against wrong, of weakness
against strength, we are willing to tender
them; that, while we do not acquiesce in the
present State temperance movement, we 10
heartily approve the principle of temperance
believing it to be one Of the gems OF Ameff
can prosperity.
The convention will probably continue III
session tomorrow.

E&lSG- One Of the Commissioners for closing
up the Freedman's Bank states that the rea-
son for placing the young white man in charge
of the Branch in this city is TO discover the
cause of errors committed by the old clerks.
We asked what the appointment meant be-
cause we were informed that the young white
man placed in this important position is no
better qualified than colored young men who,
because oftheir color cannot find employment
in Institutions established in the interest of
white men.

senator PinCllba clk.

We elsewhere print the able speech of
Senator Pinchback, delivered on the 18th
instant, in indianapolis, Indiana. In the
course of his speech, Hon. Z. b. $. Pinch
back says truly, in speaking of the cause of
the brutality toward the colored people, by
Southern white people, sit is not the negro
they hate, nor do they murder him because
he is a negro. In every relation save that
of politics, these people are kind, loving and
generous toward the colored people. 1t is
the Republican party they hate, and the
colored men are butchered because they are
Republicans and vote the Republican ticket
We believe with Senator Pinchback that the
only objection to the negro in the South is
that he votes for the party that protects his
freedom aud not with the party that will
subject him to a system as near akin to
slavery as is possible under the Constitution.
The New York Tribune, and other semi-rcbel
papers, indulge in a vast amount of sophstry
in attempting to justify the treason and re.
bellion in Louisiana Oh the ground that the
negroes are insOlent, brutal, murderous, and
threaten the overthrow of the whites. The
truth is, that if the negro will vote the Demo.
cratic ticket, and thus reduce himself to slave
ry, the love ofthe white people for him in the
South will wax stronger and stronger. The
negro's insolence is his love for freedom
The condition of products in Louisiana, for
the cultivation of which the labor Of the
negro is indispensable, proves that he does
not give any considerable time to insolence
Or idling. The crops of Louisiana are more
promising than they have been for years.
Read the speech Of Senator Pinchback.

George Francis Train says: "All the
ferocity of my nature has died out, and yet |
am in average health and terrible mental
vigor. l never imagined Bengal Tiger
could be transformed into Monaghan sheep
by Turkish baths and vegetarian diet. |
suppose the new religion Of evolution has
helped to make the. change. l am either
incubating some gigantic power to develope
love and truth in mankind, or have culmi-
mated in the most magnificent fizzle produced
for centuries" The fzzle is more likely.

The Democracy Of New Yori. .

The Democratic party of New York pledge
themselves anew to the principles set forth
in their platform adopted last year at Utica,
approved by the votes Of the people of the
Empire State, and endorsed by the Demo-
Gratis of Illinois, Michigan Maine, and other
States of the Union.
.Sinth. Equal and exact justice to all men :;
no partial legislation; no partial taxation.
The above pled:Je of the Democratic party
was made by men who consider themselves
honorable. Among those who entered into
the pledge was Governor Seymour, man of
character and supposed honesty. Though
the pledge has been made in convention
composed of several gentlemen who, in COM
mon every day business matters would scOrn
to act dishonesty, they have entered into
the promise with no intention whatever of
acting up to it. The pledge is put forth as
a snare to catch votes. Every Democratic
member of Congress from the State of New
York at its last session voted against a
measure placing all citizens upon an equality
before the law. The same pledge of equal
and exact justice for all men had been made
in 1872 by the Democratic party, and we
have had abundant opportunity to learn that
it was a false pretensc. The word or pledge
of equal and exact justice to all men made by
such fierce negro-hater as IIoratio Seymour
proved himself to be in 1868 cannot safely
be accepted. The people of the State OF
New York, no doubt, will repudiate by a
handsome majority the party of false pre-
lenses, though it is supported by such highly
respectable friends of rioters and murdercrs
as the Hon. Horatio Seymour.

An AtrOcious Murder.

On Wednesday night, July %, Jules
Joffrion, a colored man, was killed near
Rev Father Gallot's church, about twenty
one miles below here, on Cane river. Amos
Wright. another colored man, was arrested
as the guilty party. and is now in the par
ish prison. Joffrion was killed while
asleep. his head being crushed by some blunt
weapon. His murderer then dragged the
body to a bed and concealed it between two
mattresses and then set FIRE to them. The
fire was discovered and eEtinguished and
the bruised and burnt body Of Jofrion
found.
The evidence elected at the coroner's in
quest proves that Wright had not only re-
Dearedly threatened 20 kill Jotrion, but
had also endeavored to carry out his threat.
Jotfrion was very popular man, and had
been in Rev Father Callot's employ for
plumber of years.
When Wright was unprecedented, It was
ONLY with the utmost difficulty that the in
furiated people were prevented from taking
summary vengeance upon him. 4 woman
named Mary was the cause of this double
crime and foul murder and arson, and jeal-
ousy the tend that melted Wright to the
deed
Thus il is that base assassination stalks
abroad in our midst. and the perpetrators
escape a lust punishment. Such acts should
be condemned las cowardly, base, inhuman
and utterly uniustifcable.' and no plea OF
mercy should shield the guilty from certain
and swift Observation-Disclosures RepasJ-
