Better Die from Cold than by the Shot
Gun.
New Orleans, April ia conven-
tion of colored men from all parts of
the state held a conference yesterday
regarding the exodus. Pinchback
headed the politicians. and Rev. A. NJ.
Newman, the church members. The
latter prevailed, and organized the
convention. Some very Incorporate
speeches we're made, but the generally
prevailing sentiment was voiced by G.
81. Thompson, the permanent president,
who delivered moderate but extremely
ominous address. He said: Prominent
southern men have confessed to me
that when the country was involved
and its women and children were at
the mercy of the negro, that the race
remained faithful beyond expectation,
but the southern people have trusted
too much to the docility of the negro.
There is a settled conviction among
our race that we have not been justly
treated. Our fidelity in season Of
deadly peril has not been met with the
amity we have 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.

available for funding the 1870 loan was
not telegraphed in time to receive a

banking institutions in the general
course of business and by the actual

Perfect Farce-Talmage Shakes
Hands.
New York, April 1S.-At Talmage's
trial, after opening prayer, the mod
orator stated to an immense audience
present, that at his suggestion, a meet
ing had taken place on the previous
evening between Talmage and Hatha-
way and that each had written letter
to the Presbytery. They had come to-
gether at his invitation and from the
meeting had gone forth friends. The
letters were then read, each expressing
regrets at the revival of an old difficult
ties and declining to proceed In any self
vindication. All present were very
much astonished. Talmage said: 81
wish at this point, before We go any
further, to offer brother Hathaway the
right hand of fellowship. We settled
this matter last night, and no power
under heaven shall stop It," (sensation)
Talmage, with his hand outstretched,
walked hurriedly down the centre aisle
toward the pew in which Hathaway
sat. The latter rose and with arms up
raised and smiling countenance,
awaited his coming The hands were
grasped, shaken, and while great ma
jority of the congregation looked on
admiring, Talmage marched back TO
his seat again. The closing scenes of
the day were not so harmonious. Some
feminine spectators audibly called one
of the reverend speakers liar and then
there was much bitterness and confu-
sion. The Tribune, commenting on
the proceedings, says: 1.-The public
will be apt to agree with Talmage'
prosecutors that the charge of false
hood and deceit cannot be "settled" by
handshaking between the defendan
and one of the witnesses"

Financial Matters.

New York, April 18.-A prominent
banker and a member of the syndicate,
says:
1.-THE enormous retail trade Of the
past week shook the entire 10:40 line,
and the bankers saw the necessity Of
securing them all at once. One of the
happiest effects Of this large subscrip-
tion will be to advance the price of
four per cent. bonds in the English
market and make them much sought
after. These enormous subscriptions
only illustrate the great material de-
velopment of wealth in the United
States during the last three years,
which passes the understanding not
only of Europe, but of our own finan-
cial men.

The Indemnity Resolution.

London, April 1S.-In the house Of
commons last night, Cartwright moved
resolution declaring that the tranquil
ity of the east demands that satisfac-
tion be given to the just claims of
Greece, as embodied in the recommen-
dations of the Berlin congress.
Gladstone strongly supported the res
olution.
Northcote denied that there was any
lack of sympathy for Greece. The
government felt that q satisfactory ar
rangement was of the greatest import
ance for tranquility in the east, and for
the interest of Turkey. Any arrange
ment must involve cession of portion
of Turkish territory, and the readiness
of Greece to give friendly assurances.
The government was not without the
hope that direct agreement would be
reached between Greece and Turkey,
but, falling in that, it would be ready
to participate in the mediation proposed
by the Berlin congress.
Sir Charles Dixie declared that the
statement of the chancellor exchequer

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SESSION.

sENATE-AFTERNooN SESSION.
Washington, April l8.-The senate
having under consideration the army
appropriation bill, Randolph, Of New
Jersey, continued his remarks.
He said the simple question was:
Had Congress the right to demand re-
dress for the grievance as condition
of granting supplies to the army? He
gravely doubted, not the right, but the
expediency of that step. He was
proud of the achievements of the army,
but it was monstrous doctrine, that
the government owes it life and power
to the army in time of peace. Its total
disbandment now would not seriously
endanger the life of the nation.
Randolph said that in '76 he bore a
message from Gov. Hampton to the
then president of the United States,
urging the latter to withdraw the
troops from the state house. You may
imagine, sir, said Randolph, my aston
ishment and indignation when in an
angry tone and an uncivil manner the
president rep lied: 81 won't withdraw
the troops; Idon't regard the decision
Of the supreme court Of that state, and
if had any message to send to Hamp-
ton, it would be that his message to
me is an impertinence. An imperti-
nence, sir, for the governor of the state
to communicate his wishes, not demand
his rights, as he might properly have
done, to the president of the United
States. An impertinence, indeed.
Upon what meat does this, our Cesar,
feed, that he is grown 30 greatp''
Groome, of Maryland, cited several
cases where the army had been used in
Maryland, also a letter from Gen.
Grant to President johnson, expressing
the hope the army would never be used
on the eve of election. He wondered
if the party was now intending to trust
its fortune to the prestige Of Grants
name, and whether it concurred in
these views.
After an executive session, the SEN
ate adjourned until Monday.

HOUSE.

Washington, April 18.-The morn
ing hour was dispensed with, and the
subsidiary silver coin bill was not taken
up. The house then went into COM
mittee of the whole on the legislative
appropriation bill.
Mckinley spoke in opposition to the
proposed repeal of the general election
laws. He denounced such legislation as
bold and wanton attempt to wipe
from the law every protection of the
ballot-box, and to surrender it into
the unholy hands of hired repeaters and
ballot-box suffers at the north and of
Tissue ballot" cheats at the south.
Mckinley having read that Black
burn in his last debate said the demo-
Gratis meant to wipe from the statute
books all such measures, Blackburn
left the chair and denounced him for a
want of fairness and truth in present
ing from his speech an incomplete
extract.

DANIEL NJ. Potter ana the District
Attorney ship.

As some articles have recently APP
peared in the two papers, the Clarion
and The COMET, in reference to the
necessary qualifications of an aspirant
for the Office of District Attorney, it
is but proper that a word or two
should be said in this connection, in
reference to our talented young fellow
townsman, Mr.. Daniel NJ. Potter.
1t is useless to say to those who
know Potter that he is eminently fitted
for the office for which he is candi-
date. They all know this, but for the
benefit of those who may not have
met him, let it be known that he goes
before the coming convention with the
most hattering endorsements from
men whose experience and abilities
render them the most competent
iudpes of such matters. Men whose
nndoubted and admitted standing in
their profession entitle their opinions
TO the respect of all. Such as Gen.
IL. George, now Chief Justice, w.
T, Nupent' w. p. Harris ]. A. Brown,
and many other men of like promi-
nepee throughout the District. What
more eould be said of any man. Pot
ter's talents and reputation are recog-
nized not only by the community in
which he lives, but especially by men
whose lives and labOrs have rendered
them the most competent to speak IN
s,,cb a matter. One OF THE BAR.
