and who did not know A from B, who
are now either practieing some profess
sion, in business for themselves or hold
ing responsible positions under the
Government, paying taxes and build
ing up families. These are the exam-
pies that our young men should seek to
initiate and not this chronic growler
and pretender. He has slurred and
abused every hand that ever helped him
and they are many, yes, too many.
Greener has stored knowledge, like
the hidden and undeveloped minerals
Of Africa, of mouse to himself or any
body else. He is opposed to colored
men who are recognized as leaders, yet
would like to be considered one among
them. He is opposed to colored men
seeking Office, yet he has done nothing
else-for many years. 1heard him once
at the head of a delegation at the
White House, demanding recognition
and office of President Grant, on ae-
count of Pennsylvania negro vote, he
claiming that in the election held at
that time, that the victory was won by
negro votes, they, as he figured it out
holding the balance of power.
Ingratitude is one of his distinguish
ing traits. The young men who were
connected with the late Freedman's
Bank, some of whom are now dead,
came in for large share of his abuse
at a discussion of that institution had
recently before the Bethel Literary.
When he first came here, these young
men were his chQsTe introduced him
into society, wined and dined him, and
saw that he did not want for the where
with all. They made him their cham
pion aud fed and fattened him only
now to have him turn upon and de-
your them.
Now, Mr.. Editor, will you inform
your readers, or if you have not the
data, let somebody vino has do so, of
what this man has accomplished out
side of getting an education, that is
worthy of emulation by the colored
youth of this country. PLEBIAN.

Mr.. GREENER'S PAPER.

Mr.. Richard I. Greener, had large
as well as cultivated audience to listen

Tuesday evening at the Bethel Liter
ary and Historical Society. The paper
down TO its close in fact the real paper,
as Mr.. Greener, proposed it was
like all things that he graces with his
touch, something elegant in language,
theory and diction yet it lacked prac-
ticability, however the audience was
pleased with it, because it did show
that he had gone to some trouble and
it was truly in splendid shape. But
where the reader left the high sphere
he had dwelt in and carried his hearers
along SO even and easy even in the
theories and obtuse ideas, still they
were pleased fer many and various
reasons, and while no very large
amount of practical benefit could be
derived from the discourse all were
glad to even applaud him for his liter
airy effort. But when the professor left
the elevated plain, and took his audi
ence 30 the Lime Kiln Club, there was an

Congressional life appears to agree

almost oneness all through the audi
ence, that it was really taking them
from the most sublime to the redicu-
lous. 1t was unfortunate that this
was so and Mr.. Greener's best friends
wish ever so much that he had Of done
otherwise than brought lime kiln stuff

and reasnable people who are to all

audiance that had even went so far as
to dignity the reader and the occasion

appearance and depriving themselves
of other luxuries, which many they
did, deserve better than this. The
discussion great, animated, warm ex-
citing, till it finally reached fever heat
and passion and the audience dismissed
in confusion. We think the Prof. was
if anything, quite unfortunate in what
he boldly prided himself upon-the
late interview with a newspaper man
wherein he reflected quite too severely
on some of his heretofore col
leagues, and representative men. The
language as contained in that inter-
view is seriously insulting and
uncalled for and the friends of those

convention, Mr.. Milton NJ. Holland.
made a very animated speech defend
ing his friend NJ. Douglass, and the
others who signed the call for con-
vention, from Mr.. Greeners slurs.
Messrs Smith, Chase, Waring, Wood
and others discussed the paper but no
one seemed to get SO near to it as did
Mr.. Arthur S. Smith, who in our judg-
ment made mince meat of it by his
reasoning that it contained more i'll
gotten references to the past which
could do no good, than it did to some
thing that had the appearance of po-
litical common sense in it. Mr..
Smith evidently does not belong to
that school of men who hold to the
idea that it takes the best efforts of
three generations to educate and make
strong Intellectually a defendant.
The debate throughout showed much
ldiosyncracy, as well as an unusual
amount of biographical ideas, but on
the whole only one speaker did us the
kindness to show our developments
and that was Mr.. A. A. Smith.

say that if a convention should be
called that Washington is not the place
for it and that the men who signed
The call for it are not suitable to do so.
THERE'S no force in either of these OBJ
Jections. Washington is easily acces-
sible to all parts of the country; it is
the political centre of the republic; a
thousand presses are fed by tightening
from this spot; nowhere else can a
convention be brought into more in
antaneous communication with the
whole country. As to the men who
signed the call, they would bear favor
able comparison with the same num-
Der of colored men anywhere in the
country. But if better men can be
found let them step to the front, and
for one, / am ready to step down and
out. 1t is easy to stand off and criti-
else the work of other men. AS the
callers of this convention are now crit
icised, we only have to say in response
let them come and do it better. | see
that my old friend Greener is opposed
to the convention, and seeks to belit-
tie the men who have called it. I re-
gret this all the more because looked
to him as one of the guarantees of the
success of the convention. Could we
have convention composed of men Of
his intelligence and learning it would
be one of which we would not be
ashamed; but even without him we
think very profitable convention can
be held and held here in Washington.
What he is pleased to say against Of
fee holders, as not being the stuff of
which to make leaders, have only to
say that | see very little moral differ
ence between one who is an office
holder and another who is an Office
seeker. | have no doubt that the gen
eral unsettled condition of political
parties and the prospect of some COM
bination being formed in politics has
given rise to the idea of holding this
convention, and whether such con-
tingency should arise or not | do not
see that there could be any harm in our
peoples coming together and consult
ing as to the course which will be the
wiseSt for them topursue in any con-
tingency that may arise"
"What do you hope or expect from
the convention ?" asked the reporter.
''lf the convention does no good"
said Mr.. Douglass, "or is likely not to
do any good, | feel it my duty to act
with it and do my best to prevent it's
doing any harm to the cause of the
colored man. My belief is that it can
put forth such an utterance as will raise
the colored man in the estimation of
his fellow-citizens and secure for him
better footing in the republic. All
sorts of motives are attributed to the
callers of the onvention-that they
are office-seekerS-and the Boston Id
certiSer tells us that we make mistake
when we challenge consideration On the
strength of color, or the former state
OF our race; that the color of his skin
is no reason for giving man business,
Office or special courtesy. All of which
is very true, but equally true is it that
a mans color should not be the reason
of his exclusion from any business or
officer or denial of any courtesy. The
one proposition is as true as the other.

What is the object of this conven
tion?' a star reporter asked yesterday
of Mr.. Frederick Douglass, referring t.
the national colored convention fol
which call was issued recently by q
committee, of which Mr.. Douglass is
chairman.
"Well," replied Mr.. Douglas $, 1.-THE
call of tie convention is perhaps the
best explanation that can be given.
assure you that there is no secret in
tention or purpose about it. The col
Ored citizens of the country occupy. or
think they occupy, peculiar relation
to tf1e other citizens of the republic.
Whether they wish it or not, they are
in some sense a seperate class. They
are reminded of this in all their rela-
tions to the general American public.
| think it is the intention to come to-
gether for consultation as to the best
means of bettering our condition as a
class. am surprised that the proposed
convention has met SO little favor
from the republican papers of the coun-
try. am equally surprised that the
editors Of colored newspapers have
generally opposed the convention.
The republican presses betray a fear
that the convention will be anti-repub-
lican, while the colored editors fear
that the convention will be controlled
10y the existing administration. Neither
ground Of opposition is really tenable.
Nothing is more common in this
country than conventions for various
purposes. We have all sorts Of con-
ventions Irish conventions, woman's
conventions, temperance conventions,
workingmen's conventions, religious
conventions, infidel conventions, con-
ventions to put God into the Constitu-
ticn, and conventions opposed to put
ting God into the Constitutin, and each
convention must be judged upon its
merits. One would think that
there was something wrong in the very
idea of convention, but it is not SO.
They are the safety valves of the re-
public. Men meet together and
speak of their wants, their, wishes,
present their grievances if they have
any. and make them known to the |
public. There is no use for dynamite
where men can assemble in conven-
ions. The opposition to this conven-
ion on the part of colored editors has
IN element of bitterness in it. They
