THE PRESS-THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION.
The committee having amended the
call for a National convention from
Washington, ID. G., to Louisville. XIV.
the Gate city Press gives notice that
IL waves all previous objections and
wheels into line in favor of the con-
ventlon. The date has been fixed for
September "a. Let Missouri and Kan
sas papers join us in hereafter dicuss-
ing the policies to be outlined and the
programme to be carried out. Let
Missouri call state convention. at an
early date to select her quota of dele
gates. Join all together with long
pull and a strong pull for grand and
noble results from this representative
meeting.--Gate City Press.
The National convention of colored
men meets at Louisville, Sept. "a.
Now let the colored men agree
and make the success of our delibera-
tlons assured. Kentucky has elected
her delegates, and Indiana is already
primed to do likewise.
Daily more names are received of
prominent colored men of this State
in favor of the State and National con-
vention. The names will be appended
to the call for the convention, which is
the peoples, not one mans. Due no
tice of the time of meeting will be
given through the The World.-India-
upoIis World.
Nearly hundred colored represen-
tative men from most of the states as
sembled at Timm's hall, Washington, D.
e., on the 18th. inst, to enter a pro-
test against the late call for a conYen-
tion of colored men. Speeches were
made by prominent colored men from
Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina
and Virginia, protesting against the
action of the local committee in the
manner Of calling the proposed con-
vention and the selection of Washing
ton as the place. The meeting was
quiet and orderly. A set of forcible
resolutions was unanimously passed. =

Please name the prominent colored
men from North Carolina, Tennessee,
South Carolina, Georgia, louisiana,
Arkansas, or Virginia that were there
and in harmony with the Timm's Hall
meeting? The meeting was an alb
solute failure so are majority of
those that nursed it. The resolutions
were not passed as stated, they were
gagged down. Representative men"
We should say they were, but of what?
Get them right, or hush up.
| 1t appears that Gen. Malone has
been badly worsted in Old Virginia.
1t is difficult to get the truth about the
election, but what has been obtained
rather gives the doughty little general
a very black eye.--LouiSrille, Ky,
/ Bulletin.
The truth is, that General Malone,
and his faithful allies, the Readjusters
and Republicans gained in the late
municipal election and were successful
in many counties in putting in their
candidates and ousting bourbon demo-
Gratis, this is q fact.
The coalition is success in the state,
it has come to stay. The best informed
men concede that the General will
carry his policy through to success this
fall, and choose Legislature with a
majority favoring his policy, and in
support of the administration. The
forces of the Coalition party are now
estimated at 10000 white and 100000
colored voters. There is no capitation
tax. No whipping post to disfran-
chiSe the celored voter. The new
party, under the doughty generals"
dictation, abolished both these obnoN-
ious features of specious legislation.

Of the state. By virtue of these two
features being abolished, along with
the improved condition Of the colored
schools and the school system of the
state, which adds nearly a thousand
more colored teachers, and several
hundred more schools with three
months more teaching time" during
the year than ever before), a better
jury system, and in fact, the general
! situation and condition of affairs, the
entire colored vote of the state may,
with a very few exceptions, be set down
for the generals policy, and the candl-
dates that will be brought forward 10y

Virginia colored men do not lack po-
litical sagacity, their wisdom has been
tested often, and each time they have
exhibited sound judgment, and plenty
of common sense, political philosophy.
