BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss, May ISL have
lately seen mostly in the New Orleans
papers, editorial and news items which
have attracted my attention, and which
have struck me as being Of sufficient in
terest, taken in connection with what !
have been writing from the South, to re.
produce in your columns for the attention
OF your readers. Some oil these items are
as follows:
Race and color are elements altogether
eliminated from citizenship, and the negro
should be the last to attempt to restore
them. He cannot successfully compete
for place on that basis any more than a
German ora Welshman can. The National
colored Convention mast recognize this.
Fred Douglass and his fellow leaders must
recognize it, or the cause oil their race will
be turned backward to encounter again
the elements and influences which hitherto
have been its chief distractions Philaiel.

ss Ia the negro to remain in the South /?
The widest reactionist will admit that he
is here to stay. Is the negro TO remain q
voter? There is no one to deny that he
will retain the privileges OF citizenship. 1t
follows inevitably that the education OF
the race is necessity. There is no other
escape from the decentralization and dis
aster that attend upon ignorant suffrage.
It is to the interest OF every white man,
woman and child in Georgia that the ne.
groes should be educated.-4Aanta C0asti.

d. The South is very tired OF constant de-
feat, and is inclined to sit down pretty
heavily on all those presumptuous leaders
who persist in counting defeat by thrusting
the whole party into distinct antagonism to
the beat interests OF the nation. Protec.

nor mistake, hut well settled principle oil
democracy. Fit were impossible to dis.

[ New YoHx, May l9.-The World will say
Sunday concerning the coming colored
convention: 1.-THE best thing it can do is to
ignore politics and to impress upon the col.
ored people the importance OF educational
development and labor, all OF which will
strengthen them in their political rights,
advance their prosperity aud benefit them
generally far'more than the selfish and I'M.
enviable friendship OF any political party"

1t is the opinion Of the ContiutiOn that
the negroes will be Just what the justice
and humanity OF the South chooses to
make them; and no one doubts that the
best public sentiment OF the South desires
to make them worthy in every way OF the
great privileges and responsibilities that
have been conferred them.-Auantd

4. A marked change is visible in the com.
on the question Of the future OF the colored
man. From whatever cause this arises, it
cannot be denied that a more friendly feel.
