CARL SCBURZ, in the st. Louis West

well arranged. Wherever three or four
sc5undrels were gathered together in
Grants name, there he was in the
midst OF them, in the person Of a brother,
brother lin-lsw, cousin, or friend. No
customhouss or whisky ring could d.
vide its plunder without the devil being

Shepherd and Bsteock could make

COLORED CONVENTION.
Resolutions Adopted Yesterday-PInch'
back and Morton Endorsed.

NASHVILLE, April 7.-Another i'm
mense audience crested the COlOred Ma
tioEal convention. Resolutions were
adopted indoIsing and reaffirming de-
votion and adherence to the National
Republican party and its principles;
that nevertheless they have just Teas Ons
for complaint against those members
who rroved Tecresnt to their trusts; re-
turning thanks to thefriends Of freedom
and dls'avoring any desire TO cherish
ilI-teeling toward the ex-slaveholding
element of the south, but on the
contrary extend them the olive
branch OF peace; asking all good
men 10 srise in their sovereign ca
pacity to strengthen the arm Of the
law, and protect all citizens sgaiDst
mobs, assassination, outrage ana vio-
lence; that the determined and increas-
ing efforts of the enemies of our race to
establish color-line in the present con-
dition Of affairs is TO be deplored by all
lovers of liberty and order, and one
which threatens the peace, security
and prosperity Of both blacks and
whites; bold no sympathy with official
rogues, but most earnestly condemn dis
honesty, corruption and iufidelity to the
public trust in whomsoever found, and
most heartily subscribe to the policy,
''Let no guilty man eseape;" recognize
and appreciate the services rend cred in
their behalf by President Grant, and
assuring him of their lasting gratitude.
Supplemental resolutions were adopt
ed, recognizing the validity Of the pres
ent State government OF Louisiana
under which Pinchback was elected to q
seat in the United States senate: deeply
deploring the manner in which his con-
test ended, and regarding it ss humili-
atlng to the prize Of the colOred people
Of America; that Senator Morton, by
his unyielding claims, and those who
voted and acted with him, are deserving
of the lasting gratitude OF the colored
American citizens; and that compulsory
education be inaugurated in the southern
States.

made some days ago by Detective Bell,
that Revenue Agent Colony had in his
confidence or employ an operator in the
Western Union telegraph office in this
city, from whom he obtained valuable
information regarding the operations Of
the whisky ring, has led to an investi-
cation of the matter by the officers of
the telegraph company here. Mr.. Col
ony says that Belrs testimony on this
point, at least, is false. He denies ever
having had an arrangement with any
telegraph operator here, and offers to
make affidavit to that effect. Inquiry
in other directions fails to show that any
telegrapher here had any connection
whatever with the whisky frauds, or
that any dispatches were obtained from
the telegraph Office here except under
the subpoena duce8 tecun1 issued by the
