NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. 3-The election

INDIANA CoLORED CONVENTION.
TERRE HAUTE, IND, Aug. S.--The Con

ued its session here yesterday. There were
about fifty delegates present. Strangely
worded resolutions were adopted urging the
| colored people of the South to flee from
there and come North. Measures were
proposed and adopted to induce them tc
come to Indiana and that they shall be
assisted in transportation and the finding
of homes and employment. Nothing polit
ical was specially discussed, but it was very
evident they are devoted to the Republican
party. They resolved to urge the
repeal of the existing State laws relative tt
the intermarriage of the white and black
races. The emigration scheme is the most
important and principal feature of the Con
vention, and probably will lead to i'm
nortant nolitical results in this State
