A Defense of the COIOred Convention.
 WASHINGTON, May 9.-Fred. Douglas in an interview o-day defends the proposed col ored convention at Washington for the pur- pose of bettering the political condition of colored citizens as class and replies to the criticisms of Professor Greener, prominent colored citizen of Washington, and others upon the callers of the convention. The col- ored citizens of the country he thinks, whether they wish it or not, are in some sense 2 separate class. He expresses surprise that the proposed convention has met so little favor from the Republican press and is equally surprised that the colored editors have generally op- posed it. If the convention does no good he feels it his duty to endeavor to prevent it doing harm to the cause of the colored men He believes, however, 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 a better footing in hn ranuh1in

 Pencil.
 WASHINGTON, May 9.-In the Star route trial to-day MT. Wilson argued for the de- fense. He began his argument observing by way of introduction that if length of speech give fame certainly the gentleman who pre- ceded him would be immortal. He disclaim- ed any intention on his part to achieve i'm mortality in that way. He referred to Messrs Ker and Bliss ss having distorted testimony As sn instance of an effort to prejudice the jury he referred to 8 remark by MT. Ker that he (Wilson) and other lawyers for the defense were receiving enormous fees from the de- fendants. The government he declared had not sought fair and impartial trial. On the contrary there had been developed here g base trick or conspiracy to injure the defend ants He referred to what he called bar gain with RerdeIl to sit with the defendants and challenge four jurors in the interest of the government. "Talk about jury fxers, !" exclaimed MT. Wilson, s'there's jury fixing for you" Mir. Ingersoll found the portion or herO6lS testimony 1n Wn1cn ne Sa1Q ne had made proposition to MT. Blackmar to sit with the defendants and challenge jurors, but had spoken to none of the counsel for the prosecution. MT. Wilson proceeding said he had not said that there was a bargain with the govern ment nor with the counsel for the prosecu- ton. The government has not disclaimed it. There were other government officials about this town who could make this bargain with out these attorneys knowing anything about it. He declared it an act of unparalleled in- fanny, desperately wicked combination. 'I want to understand about that" said Judge Wylie. ''I understand that he had but one peremptory challenge" Mir. Ker for the government disclaimed such bargain. MT. Wilson continued until adjournment. He will resume tomorrow.

 A Highly Improbable story-An Alleged
 Scheme to Head or Butler.
 BOSTON, May 9.-It is alleged that the Re- publicans of the Legislature held meeting to night to concoct scheme to head of Butler. It is stated that they are determined to rush through the appropriation bills and then announce that they are ready to be pro- rogued, throwing on the Governor the re- sponsibility of keeping them in session. It is also stated that they will import witnesses from Washington to prove that Governor Butler was there February 26th when the safety deposit bill was vetoed, thus proving the illegalty of the veto also that they will endeavor to squelch further publication of the results of the Tewksbury investigation. The story is highly improbable, especially the Tewksbury part of it, as the defense is about to begin, and if there is an abundant defense, as the Republicans have all along claimed, it would be certainly to their ad- vantage to have it widely disseminated.
