A Very Ugly Glass House.
(From the New York Herald.)

IFrOu Lut NtW lOTh HVTaIu'J
The Republicans ought to be careful not
to fix public attention too closely on the
events of 1876 and 1878. They cannot af-
ford to have it remembered that the ia
nous, or rather Infamous, tissue ballots
used by the South Carolina Democrats
last year were Republican invention, used
first by that party in 1875 to carry the
Florida election; they should be glad to
have it forgotten that in the Sea Island
region of South Carolina it was less pos
sible for Democrats to gain a safe hearing
than in the uplands for Republican to
make himself heard 10 quiet. So far as
the South is concerned, the Republicans
live in very ugly glass house, and they
ought to prohibit their people from throw
| ing stones,

II, by the improved Sherman process Of
boarding nearly $3OO,OOO,OOO of gold in
the treasury, and reducing the rate Of
interest on U. S. bonds to four and one-
half per cent by exchange with others
bearing higher rate of interest, the
national debt is increased $S5, OOG, 900, and
the interest $l,9OOOOO in a single year
how long time will it require to double our
present debt and quadruple the interest
Perhaps, while Sherman is nourishiDg that
presidential boom 1t would not be amiss
to explain this enigma of Increasing the
debt by reducing the rate Of interest.

NATIONAL coLoRED CONVENTION
Meets at Nashville and Organizes.

AANChH 90 ANNSNNhlu sNuu VESNIIAGoa
NASHVILLE, May 0.-The National Col
ored Convention met in the hall of the
House Of Representatives at l o'clock thiI
afternoon, with representatives from Ten
nessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Arkansas
Missouri, South Carolina, Georgia, Vir
ginia, District of Columbia, Texas, Indi,
ana, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Oregon
Nebraska, Louisiana and Alabama.
The Convention was called to order by
Gov. PinChback, who nominated Hon
John B Lynch, OF Mississippi, for perma,
nent Chairman.
In speaking, Mr.. Lynch denied that the
conference had been called in the interest
OF any party, but for the purpose Of pre-.
senting grievances OF colored people Ia
the country. He urged dispassionate
consideration OF the question 10 be pre-.
sented. When this movement was begun
the present migration OF colored people
from the South had not commenced, and
was not previously apprehended. This,
therefore, was not one OF the chief objects
Of the Convention.
Robert Nichols, OF Indiana, was elected
Vice President. Louis T. Kenner, OF
Louisiana, F. L. Barret, OF Illinois, and
]. T. Rapier, Of Alabama, were appointed
Secretaries. The organization was made
permanent.
The afternoon session was devoted most.
ly to the adoption Of rules for the govern
ment OF the conference.
In the morning the Tennessee delega,
tion OF sixty insisted on being admitted,
when each State was only entitled to
thirty. 1t was agreed to admit thirty, but
this was at first refused, the Tennesseeans
being turbulent and denouncing the con.
ference as packed for political purposes

BALTIMORE, MD., May 5.-The reported

more 4 Ohio for Chicago, at Defiance, and
the construction Of an independent limo
from Detroit to connect the Grand Trunk
line of Canada with the new route, is &C.
cepted here as a fact. The Baltimore &
Ohio deny any knowledge of the scheme,
but say they are not ayerse and are un-
doubtedly in favor Of It. An ofllcor Of the
company, while In the West few days
ago was told by Jay Gould that the sixty
miles from Detroit to Toledo had been sur.

present detective school system and re

ored man. He had strong hopes OF better
feeling hereafter between the two races
had consulted with the committee on the
resolutions, together with other coloreC
men, and both races, and had made con
Cessions,
W. T. Pittman, prominent lawyer o
this city, followed in q speech, which wa
directed particularly to Gov. Footc, whom
he called political trickster, denounced
as a demagogue. At the conclusion he
was loudly applauded from the whites
side OF the Convention, and considerable
excitement was manifested when Gov
Foote rose to reply.
The President, however, had recognized
II. B. Robinson, colored, OF Helena, Ar
kansas, who managed 10 quiet the conVen.
ton by condemning both Pittman and
Foote, for their Incorporate utterances,
he said the resolutions Of Foote met his
hearty approval, but 1t was most too big a
dose for the whites tn swallow at once. II
they would carry out in good faith the
resolutions introduced by the committee,
the colored men would be satisfied, and
the exodus would cease.
Gov. FoOte In reply to the denunciations
Of Mr.. Pittman, related in q like manner,
and retuted the charge made, that politics
had anything to do with the resolutions
offered by him.
The debate on the resolutions was closed
by W. L. Nugent, Chairman OF the COM
mittee, and the original resolutions were
adopted. Only the whites voted, the me-
groes under instructions OF their leaders
refrained from giving their expressions,
The Convention then adjourned sine die.
The general sentiment Of the whites is
to fully carry out the provisions OF the
resolutions adopted. The negroes have
but little TO say. Many express their
opinion that the result OF the convention
will stop the exodus for the present, ,tillthe
next election will afford an opportunity to
test the sincerity OF the pledges made by
the whites. The convention was noted
for It's wealth and intelligence. The load
ing cotton planters OF the Mississippi
Valley were in attendance, as was also
the most prominent leaders OF the colored
people in the South. During the progress
OF the convention telegram was received
from st, Louis announcing the return Of
iorty.eight colored men who had been fur
nished transportation by the Wyandotte,
KS, Relief Committee, to their homes in
the vicinity OF this city.
