The Ceio'td Convention in New
OrIeaus.
CHICAGO, April 1S.-A Times
New Orleans special says: The
Convention of colored men from
all parts of the State had confer
! enee yesterday regarding the ex-
odus. Pinchback headed the poll
ticians and Rev. A. NJ. Newman
the church members. The latter
prevailed, and organized the Con-
vention. Some very intemperate
speeches were made, but generally
the prevailing sentiment was voic-
ed by c. FL. Thompson, the perma-
nent President, who delivered o
moderate but extremely ominous
address. He said: "Prominent
Southern men have confessed to
me that when the country was in
vaded and its women and children
were at the mercy of the negro,
that race remained faithful beyond
expectation; but the Southern peo-
pie have trusted too much to the
docility of the negro. There is a
settled conviction among our race
that we have not been justly treat
ed. Our fidelity in season of
deadly peril has not been met by
the amity we had right to expect.
They tell US we will die in Kansas
of cold, but we had better die there
than die here by the shotgun.
Treated as citizens, we can do bet
ter here than anywhere else. If
white capitalists will put down ruff
fianism, L will, to the utmost of my
ability, endeavor to prevent the ex-
odus. We were born here, and the
climate is congenial, but if we can
not live here in peace, we had bet
ter leave. One delegation on this
floor represents a society of 40 900
souls. We have carefully consid.
cred the consequences of this move.
The experience of few in St.
) Louis will not be repeated. Those
who go henceiorth will 60 amply
provided with means to place them
in their homes, and with suifi-
cient sum to maintain them until
they can secure profitable labor.
We know the consequences, and we
} know that our labor here cannot be
replaced, but the white people have
| presumed upon our good nature,
and unless we have better guaran
tees than have yet been accorded
within a year there will not be "a
man, woman or child OF our race

Proposed Ronors 10 q eneraI Grant.
CHICAGO, April 19th.-A Tribune
Philadelphia special says: The
, Councils to-day continued the
Committee appointed by last years
body to prepare for the reception of
General Grant at San Francisco.
Colonel Charles Thompson Jones,
who made the motion, said the
Councils had decided when he lie #
here that they would receive him
on his return, and it would be
done. The General, said he, ex-
pected to make Philadelphia his
home in the future, and the Colonel
thought it no more than proper
that the Councils should send a
delegation to California to escort
him home. He (the speaker) was
going to California, whether any
body else went or not.
