Colored Men Of New York.

The State committee of the colored men
held meeting in Association Hall, Utica,
New York, May %. Three delegates were
elected to the National Republican Conven-
ton, to lay before that body the serious
evils to which freedmen are exposed through
Democratic supremacy in some of the
Southern States. The following resolution
approving the candidacy of Senator Conk-
ling for the Presidency was adopted unani-
mously:
Resolved, That we hold Roscoe Conkling
in grateful memory for being the first friend
of our race to present to the Congress of
the United States resolutions looking to
emancipation on the tenth day of March,
1862, at time when the artillery of
the enemies of our race and of
the nation was laundering within sound of
the Capitol, and the whole country was
locked in the embrace of death; and
we recognize in his courage, integrity
and wisdom the attribute which peculiar
ly fit him for the presidential Office. We
present him as our choice for presidential
candidate, with the full assurance that his
nomination will secure the election of Re-
publican President whose character guar
antees an honorable administration, and
whose undaunted courage will secure to
all, Of high or low degree, the equal rights
which the constitution promises.

A Solution.

How to properly dispose of the wharf
question seems to have been solved for the
city Administrators by quartette of we'll
known and responsible citizens, whose
names appear to their proposal, which is
given below. They are not men who would
go blindly into such an undertaking, and if
they can see money in it. we suspect the
incumbent lessees will be induced to take
an improved view Of their own situation
rather than be put in default:
The undersigned bondholdcrs wharf i'm
provement) of the city of New Orleans do
hereby propose to your honorable body to
take the lease off the hands of the present
incumbents on the second day of June, 1876;
provided, the said parties will settle up

the terms of your lease, made June %,

Several petitions were presented from

House.
Mr.. Morey, of Louisiana, rose to q per-
sonal explanation in reference to the testi-
mony given by Seelye before the committee
charged with investigating federal Offices in
Louisiana. He declared that all the state
ments made by that witness, charging him
with crimes and impugning his honor and
integrity, were false and infamous. Seelye'B
own evidence showed that he was infamous,
and he had made very weak attempt to
prove that Morey was equally 90. In the
summer of 1875 this witness had sent
him an abstract of what he called
history of occurrences in the fal
of 1874 in the State of Louisiana.
He had been West when this communica-
ti0n had been mailed to him, and ON his
return to Warrington he heard that this
man proposed to make publication of that
statement. He (Morey) was aware that his
seat in Congress was to be contested, and
he felt that publication of that sort would
be prejudicial to his interests, and that after
paying Seelye a few hundred dollars he
could stop that current OF abuse and false =
hood. He was justified in 60 doing and :,
therefore, he had done 90. In conclusion ;.
he thanked the gentlemen on both sides Of
the House for the expression of their conf
dence which they had given him since the
publication OF Seelye's testimony.
The House then proceeded to consider
the Louisiana contested election case Of
Spencer vs. Morey, and was addressed by.
Mr.. McCrary, of Iowa, who supported the
minority report of the committee, declaring
that Morey, the sitting member, is entitled
to the seat. After long discussion the
minority resolutions were rejected-yeas 72,
nays l00-and the majority resolution, de
claring Morey, the sitting member, not en-
titled to the seat, and William B. Spencer
entitled to it, were adopted without divi
sion, Adjourned.

The desperation of Mr. Blaine's enemies

would not be tolerated by society anywhere

A School Entertainment at the Packer
Institute.
A little musical entertainment, quite out
OF the usual hsckneyed groove OF concerts. was
given on Friday evening by the pupils of the
Packer Collegiate Institute at Brooklyn.
Grimm, one OF the famous brothers who have
so long been the nrst and best Of story tellers,
wrote II little fairy tale called Schneewitchen, :"
or Snowdrop, consisting partly of narrative por-
tions, and partly OF solos and choruses, with 10
strumental inteiludes, and Reinecke OF Lelpsic,
whose pen touches nothing that 1t does not re-
fne and oeautify. has set 1t to music for fem ale
voices.
No pretter story, or more simple. graceful,
and lovely music could have been chos.if 70 Do
sung by the young ladies' OF this institutions. 1t
was given under the direction OF Nr. 5. Lasar, a
musician OF strict and cultivated taste and ad-
He selected the chorus, which consisted Of
about l6O voices from the 600 pupils under his
musical supervision at the Packer Institute.
The enect was entirely pleasant and shtisfac-
tory. Tue choruses were smoothly sung, the
solo parts excellently rendered, aud the recita-
tions, which connected the vocal paTts spoken,
with intelligence and grace,
The chapel OF the Institute was hlled wit h the
parents and friends OF the pupils, and fairer
sight could be seen than those bright glrlt, all
dressed In white, singing Reinecke's music
with such earnestness, and taking part In tho
taoleauI that served also TO illustrate the story.
The influence OF such an entertainment Ia not
only refining and elsyating,in sccustoming the
scholars to prefer really good to trivial music,
but In pleasantly bre king up the routine aud
monotoDy OF the educational course, and lend
ing zest aud Interest 10 school llfe.
