A CONTEMPLATED BLOODY SHIRT CoNvEN-
r,oN OPPOSED BY THEM-How MORTON
HAa BEEN HoAxED.
ISpccial Dispatch to the N. Y. Heraldl
The colored members in the present
House have shown sound Judgment in
several instances since the meeting OF
Congress. They were and are ready, 1or
instance, to vote for universal amnesty,
not excluding jeff Davis. They have on
several occasions shown themselves con-
servative in tendency, and this after
noon 1t has. become known that they
have unitedly opposed, and by their
resistance will paobably defeat, a plan
To hold another "bloody shirt" conven-
tion like that Of 1874 in Chattanooga at
which "Poker" Jack, the Chief Justice
OF Arkansas, presided. A number OF
Southern Republican extremists, chiefly
Mississippians, who have been stufilng
Senator Morton with horrors, have been
engaged in trying to get up such con-
ventiOn to be held here, which was for
mally and in the name of the Republi-
can party of the Southern States, to
anprove Of Mr.. Morton's speech and OF
his Views on the South Rumor says It
was also to nominate him for the Presl-
dency. To make this scheme succeed II
was, or course, ueCeSSIIy W oOCuA0 Viz "
oneration of the colOred members, for il
was in defense Of the "poor downtrod-
den negro" that this appeal was to be
made to the country. Unfortunately
the colored Congressman, like the
needy knife-grinder, have no story,
and they are getting privately cursed as
sniritless wretches. Nor is this the
only misfortune which has happened tG
the convention plan. 1t was a part o.
the plan to get some eminent, Or, al
least. thoroughly respectable, Republl
can to preside, and so the managers
made weary round only to meet with
universal refusal, even when they In
sisted that Grant had agreed to attend
:.If Gen Grant is sure TO attend, was
the reply Of a senator, ''suppose you le
him preside. He'll make gooo nsure
head"
Bnt the President did not even prom
ise TO attend. The besU authorities re
iaie that two or three OF the manager
visited the White House, and tnei

1rant the object OF the convention, SO

Gen. BahcOck's Case.
IBy Telegraph to the Tribune.l

iBy Telegraph To the Iribuhel
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-lt is still I'M
certain when the trial OF Gen. Babcock
villbegin in st. Louis, but it can hardly
Mreached for fortnight. Elk Attorney
General Williams, his counsel in this
ciy, is busy on his case, and expresses
ne greatest confidence in his ability TO
establish Gen. Babcock's innocence OF
any completely in the whisky conspira-
s. The most intimate friends OF Gen.
baocock do not share this confidence,
aud await the trial with the greatest
anxiety. The latest report, which comes
nom q source not to be questioned. Is
The effect that Gen. Babcock will in
aS that Secretary Bristow be sum-
named at the trial as a witness. to prove
aat Gen. Babcock never attempted to
interfere in revenue matters, and never
sought TO influence appointments or re,
aosals, and that he never approached
le Secretary on any matters connected
shn the whisky cases or revenue affairs
gany nature. 1t is difficult to see how
ns will help Gen. Babcock's case IN
ny emergency, for it has already been
saexn. or can be demonstrated beyond
Saouht. that he did interfere with Mr.;
pouglas when Commissioner of Internal
.eSenue, and before Gen. Brist0W was
appointed Secretary.

Of the Whole on the private calendar.
Mr.. Holman, Of Indiana, in the chair.
Numerous bills, to which no objections
were made, this being objection day,
were read and ordered laid aside to be
reported to the House. The committee
then rose and number Of bills report
od by tho committee. were passed;
Granting pensions When tho bill
granting q pension to VIM. II. Duncan
was reached, Mr. Tucker, OF Virginia,
objected, and inquired II Duncan had
not served In the Confederate army, and
wanted to know II they proposed to
pension all the Confederates.
Mr.. Raincy, Of South Carolina, said
they had reported the bill from the com
mittee. Duncan was a Union man, liv-
ing near Cumberland Mountain, Tenn.
and was n guide and escort OF Union
men from Tennessee to Kentucky. A
brother OF his was also IN the snrne bust
ness, and was captured by the Confede'
rates and imprisoned I'm Knoxville,
Tenn. In order to secure the release OF
his brother. VIM. II. Duncan agreed to
Join the Confederate forces He did SO,
and deserted as soon us tho release OF
his brother was effected, and going to
Kentucky ho entered the Federal army
and served them until the expiration OF
his term OF enlistment, In 1866. He was
at one time on tho pension roll, but was
dropped when IL was ascortlined that
he had served In the Confederate army.
Mr.. Morrison, Of Illinois. inquired II
IL was u fact that Duncan entered the
Confederate army under u pledge which
he subsequently, violated. and whether
Nc tntentef 10 desert % soon 10 his
brother was rclensed.
Mr.. Rainey said he entered tho Con
federate army only to secure his bro
theirs release.
Mr.. Morrison said then ho was n
scoundrel, and should not be on the
pension rolls.
Mr.. Kasson deprecated the remarks
made by Mr.. Morrison. He thought the
fact that Duncan had entered the Con
federate army, under the circumstances
should not operate against him simply.
Mr.. Morrison said that Mr.. Kasson
never knew the time when Mr.. Morrison
voted against the granting Of pensions
to Union soldiers. As to this case. j
the statement Of Mr. 1taincy was cor
rect, the man was hardly worthy pen
sion.
Mr.. Townsend said It had been sug-
gested, jocosely he supposed, that the
request for amnesty would run 50 far.
that amnesty would have to be given to
all who had served in the Union army, u
you refuse pension to this man, be
cause he deserted the Confederate army
and entered tho Union service. lie
feared that the time would come when
gentlemen on this floor who served in
the Union army. would have to suppress
that fact when they published their his,
tories. After further discussion the bill
passed.
On motion OF Mr.. Duckner, of Mis-
souri,, the bill In relation to the 500 dis
trict bonds. Us amended by the Senate,
was taken from the Speakers table and
referred to the Committee on District
Of Columbia.
The House then, ut 4: :55 p. m, al.
