coLoRED CONVENTION.
Resolutions of the Nature of an Histori.
cal Review.

Nashville, May 9.-Gov. Pinchback,
chairman of the committee on address,
in the labor convention, made report
tonight, setting forth that in fifteen
years of emancipation, the negro race
had made material advancement des-
pite the obstacles of unrequited labor,
oppression of poverty and ignorance,
the intolerant spirit Of men who to-day
control the south in the abolition of
free speech in many localities, an uni
versal prescription in the schoolroom
and ch urch, jury box and official posi-
ton. Under such disadvantages they
cannot expect to rise to the dignity of
true manhood. Wages are low at best,
but paid in scrip with no purchasing
power, they admit of no bettering of
their present hard condition.
The race in the north are not wholly
exempt from caste distinction, and are
excluded from trades and work.
shops.
Education is the lever to raise the
people, but the colored race is denied
the necessary advantages in most of the
southern states.
Therefore they Recommend nation
al educational system, with equal ad-
vantages, the same to be sustained by
the sale of public lands.
They view the political condition of
the race with serious apprehension,
murder, violence and intimidation
have stifled the protecting ballot.
The present migration demands de-
liberate consideration. 1t is the result
| of no idle curiosity or desire to evade
labor, but from an~anticipation of serf-
dom that seems to be impending. If
their labor cannot be respected in the
south, the only alternative is emigra-
tion, but they prefer to remain in the
south if possible.
They heartily endorse the national
emigration aid society recently organ
ized in Washington. They believe that
such efforts as inaugurated by the
planters, at the Vicksburg convention,
may yet establish friendly relations and
settle all troubles. They recommend
to the youth of the colored race, morali-
ty, temperance, economy, acquisition
Of land and agricultural education,
and to force their way in the profess
sions, literature, science and art, as
being material and certain aid to ad-
vancement.
The report alludes to the record of
the colored men in the revolution and
rebellion and demands treatment in ac-
cord with their rights of citizenship
thus acquired and since then the richly
merited crisis is reached in the history
of the race and now it is question of
recognition or extinction, protection or
death.
Pinchback in his address, predicted
the nomination of Grant. Ex-Con-
gresham Rainey, alluding to the
| Vicksburg convention, said that the
negroes would no longer trust to
the promises of the southern whites
which have always been broken.
A report was read from the COM
mittee on emigration, it leaves the ques-
tion with the convention to decide
whether or not the southern colored
people have better reasons to go or
stay. The whole country is waiting
for the verdict from the convention.

Another Great Debate Pending.

Washington, May 10.-The senate
took up the legislative appropriation
bill soon after meeting, and lost no
time in adopting the amendment re-
storing the salaries of senate employees
to the rate now fixed.
There will be long and interesting
debate over the political sections of the
bill repeating the election supervisor law
and it is very doubtful whether the bill

and one of the experts has placed the amount that
would be required to pay the arrears as high as
s75.OOO00O. The fact that in the Pension Blu
can definitely estimate the sum has alarmed the
Secretary and further investigation shows that the
wording OF the bill is such that thousands of PEN
sioners would under strict construction of it, be
entitled each TO large sum. In view of these facts
there is strong probability that the President
will veto it, and in doing will call attention to
manifest antiquities in tho wording of the act as
the reason for declining to sign bill which would
draw from the Treasury such enormous sum-
General Rice, chairman Of the House Committee on
Pensions who originated the bill, says that the bill
as passed not the bill perfected by him. and
admits that it is defective in not making the
intended to be benefited more specific. He thinks if
the President should veto it for the above
given. that bill remedying the defects will be
promptly reported, and that the amount required
to pay the cases contemplated will not exceed
$40, 100000
