Fred erick Douglass said yesterday to
a Star reporter in Washington that
there was no truth in the report that
the proposed Convention of colored
men to be held in Louisville on the oath
inst. "was to be in the interest of the
present Admins tration." Mr.. Doug
lass said he nded to 20 as delegate
to the Convention if it should be held,
and that he had received letters from
Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Nebraska,
Illinois, Indiana, Maryland and other
States informing him that the delegates
from those States would attend" He
said also that she had received letters
from Senator Harrison, of Indiana
from the Mayor of indianapolis, and
from other prominent gentlemen OF
Indiana, welcoming the Convention to
Indianapolis, in case it should not be
welcomed to Louisiana, and in any case
if the colored people should wish to
hold the Convention there"

The Germantown Telegraph says
" We consider the just passed summer
to be the dulltst in a business point of
view that we ever remember, when
there has been 10 direct impediment to
its customary progress. 1t is an inva.
riable fact that the 3 summer months
are hard upon all business operations of
a mercantile nature; but the past heat
ed tern, though cooler than any we
nave had for many years, showed re.
markable stagnant disposi ion. Now,
however, that September, the first au-
tumn month, has set in. we have the
'est reasons for anticipating brisk re-
cuperation of all kinds of business, and
those who will not open wide their
doors to welcome it and through liberal

heartily to call and inspect their stock
Of goods, of whatever nature they may

"ln my opinion. there IL surplus ef
labor III this country. There has been
large Immigration, and recently Rail
road building has been stopped, and
the market il overcrowded with labor
ers. In time these things will adjust
themselves This surplus of labor il
placing itself in the West and North
west. Immigrants are rapidly occupy
ing the Government and Railroad lands
of the West"
Mr. Gould at this point stated that
he did not believe In the system of Civ.
ing land grants to Railroads, and the
Government had wisely reserved every
alternate section.
| Mr. Gould thought that every man
who was sober and industrious would
succeed. The majOrity of employees
regarded their employers with friendly
feelings, and any animosities and
grievances that might exist had baen
fostered and exaggerated by the socie-
ties to which many Of the laboring
classes belong.
On the question Of legislation, Mr..
Gould declared that the only safeguard
to society was the education of the mas
ses.
Labor,as everything else, was govern
ed by the law of fsupply and demand.
At this point Senator Blair said that |
he had finished his examination, and |
Senator Call asked leave to put before
the witness few questions which had |
been submitted by some gentlemen in
regard to the amassing of wealth by the |
exercise of corporate franchises.
Mr.. Gould in answer to these stated
that he did not believe that there was
any such things As an exclusive privi-
lege In this country, at least iu those
in which he was engaged.
He believed that the State had a righ,
to fix the limit Of rate charges and could
exercise 1t, but natural facilities would
also create limit.
Mr.. Gould also said that he thought
that 1t was not just to limit in any way
mans capacity to acquire wealth, and
that it certainly should not be Hunted
by the amount of wealth to be acquired
in the farming industry. He had tried
his himself at one time, and finding
hat he could not make 1t pay had gone
nto the Railroad business, which he had
FouDd In the long run was more prof.
able. A young man. he said should
be educated in such way that he could
urn his hand to more than one business !
70 that if he failed in one vocation he
'oud turn to another. Mr. Gould's ex- !,
was closed at this point, and
he hearing was adjourned. To NOR
