The Color Line AgltatOrs.

Leading colored Radicals held a con-
ference in Washington City last week
over which Pinchback presided, in ref
erence to the condition of the colored
citizens of the Southern States. The
removing the colored people out of the
South was discussed. The discussion
resulted in decision to call conference
of all the leading colored citizens of the
United States, to be held at Nashville,
Tenn, on the 9th of May next, to con-
slider the subject Of migration and other
questions affecting the race. Among
the colored men of prominence at the
meeting on Monday night, were John R.
Lynch, of Mississippi; and Cardozo, of
South Carolina. Cardozo, it will be
remembered, has just been convicted of
a Penitentiary offense. He is not the
sort of Moses We would advise the colored
people to follow, though it is natural that
he would himself be glad to find a new
local habitation.

War Claims.

Senator Hill of Georgia, has recently
made flaming speech against paying
any of the 80 called Southern war claims;
and his course seems to have received
the endorsement of the Dem ocratic press
of his State. For example the Atlanta
CONSTITUTION says that he has Gun
doubtedly struck the key mote of Demo
cratic policy; ''let them all, whether loyal
or disloyal, be bundled up and burned,
and by so much do We put the past be-
hind US" The Augusta Chronicle says:
"Mr. Hill appears to have produced a
sensation by his recent speech in opposi
tion to the payment of war claims. What
is better, he has done wise and timely
thing" The Evening News of the same
city says that these claims are repudiated
by the great mass of honest Southerners,
and adds ''Mr. Hill is right, ard we
earnestly hope no Southern man in Con-
gress will ever again vote to pay loyal
Southern claim and prevent the North
Times says: : ''Surely no representative
of the South after having been compelled
to repudiate all the war debts OF his own
section, both Confederate and State, can
feel any compunctions of conscience in
taking a stand now, fourteen years after
the close of the war, against the payment
of any more claims against the Federal
Government for damages during the war,
whether the claimant be loyal or disloy-
al" But there is a claim which the
South should with equal unanimity main
tain. 1t is to be treated as aquals in the
Union, with the full right to the control
of their own affairs subject to the limi
tations of the Constitution, aud pro-
portional share of the benefits of the
common governm ent for the maintenance
of which, her people are cheerfully
bearing their portion of the burden.
