The Catholic rouneiI i'm 1854

The Baltimore .SUi. received the follow
ing special dispatch from Rome:
"The Pope has created Archbishop Glib.
bons delegate apostolic to preside at the
Catholic Council to he held in Baltimore
in November, 1891. The report that Mgr
Seppiaci is to 90 out to America to preside
at the National Council is, therefore, quite
incorrect, and Archbishop Gibbons will
virtually, though not nominally, hold the
rank OF Papal legate.'
The Baltimore Sun also had the follow
ing:
''Vicar-General Edward McColgan, of st.
Peters Catholic Church, this city, received
letter yesterday from Archbishop Glib
bons, dated Rome, December 9TH. The
archbishop, after referring to the excel
lence OF his health, expresses the opinion
that the business of the American prelates
with Pope Leo will be entirely finished by
Christmas. The biihops held their session
alternately in the American College and
the College of the Propaganda. The mat
ters discussed with the pontifical repre-
sentatives related entirely to ecclesiastical
discipline. The archbishop stated that the
Irish question in this county haa not and
nor would it be a. all mentioned in the
conference. The archbishop saws: The
holy father will not send any admonition
to the Catholics of America on the Irish
question:

CIVIL RIGHTS HOWL.
The Negroes of Ohio i'm Convention af
Columbus.

COLUMBUS, o., December ga State
convention OF colored citizens convened
with large attendance from all parts of
the State. w. S. Thomas, of Delaware,
was temorarily elected chairman. 1t was
stated that the object of the convention
was to show that the rights of the colored
people were being more and more disre-
garded, and the Danville outrages show
such condition of affairs as to lead to an
organization for the protection of all the
rights of all citizens. The Supreme Court
civil rights decisions were generally dis
cussed. The forenoon was occupied in APP
pointing committees on credentials and
permanent organization. There was some
contest over the makeup of the commit
tee on resolutions. The convention then
adjourned to the afternoon.
Resolutions were adopted to petition the
Legislature to pass laws for their protec-
ton, to repeal old statutes against them,
to improve the facilities for the education
of colored youth, asking both State and
national aid for colOred schools, recon-
mending cooperation among colored peo-
pie by the formation of jointsto ok COM
panies in business, thanking Senator Ed
munds for his civil rights bill, Justice Har-
Ian for his dissenting opinion and the
Speaker for his services, and recommend
ing the appointment OF a State committee
of one from each Congressional district to
perfect plan for the protection of the in
terests of colored citizens, and the organ
ization throughout the State of civil rights
leagues. A State Committee was selected
to proceed with the organization.
At the afternoon session. eleven coun-
ties were represented, and permanent
organization effected us follows: Presi-
dent, G. l.. Maxwell, Green county; secre-

action for II Il: rights.
The greater portion of the afternoon
was taken mp in short speeches to get the
sentiment Of delegates, and those repre-
sented.
The convention continued in session
until after midnight. At times the ex-
citement over alleged abuses of the race
became very high. and most infammatory
speeches were made.
Congress was memorialiZed, through

Mr.. Cox was cited as espousing the cause
of 0'llOUHc'l, AMI asked to plead for hun
dreds OF his fellQw-citizens being muir
dered at home.
a long list OF resolutions was adopted,
pointing out their grievances and citing
the causes for organized effort and protec-
ton. The resolutions set forth that the
sentiments in the States lately in
rebellion were averse to the rights
OF colored men, and demand Of the Pres
ident and Congress that the constitution
and laws be enforced for equal protection !;
held that negro supremacy had never been
allowed; where they had majority they
we're soon pnt down by violence, and in
this State eten they arg denied representa-

Court in its civil-rights decision had left

Cox and Springer to Resign Their Re-

WASHINGTON, December 26.-Mr. Cox,
of New York, who was appointed chair
man OF the House Committee on Naval
Affairs, informed an intimate friend, a
member of the House, that he will posi-
lively decline to serve on that committee
when Congress reeonvenes. The reasons
assigned for Cox's refusal are that the
Committee on Naval fairs has compare
lively little before it the present Congress,
and twenty-five years service IN the House
entitled him to the Craftsmanship of
Foreign Affairs. His friends say, in that
position Cox contemplated advocating a
number OF reforms in the line of reducing
the number of foreign ministers and vest
ing consuls with diplomatic power, when
necessary, and improving the consular
system so as to make it a more powerful
agency for the Advancement OF the COM
mercial interests of the country.

HILLsBoRo, Ill, December 26.-The
Bond case was not opened till nearly noon
to-day Minnie Pettus, sister of Lee Pet
tus. one of the defendants, was put on the
stand, and testified that her brother Lee
owned but one pair of red-striped stock
ings. The prosecution then subjected her
to long cross-examination, evidently for
the purpose OF obtaining something con-
Trajectory to the testimony of the other
members OF the family. The result was
that the witness gave in a number OF in
stances quite different testimony from that
given at the preliminary trial, and also
contradicted herself and other members
of the family. These were on minor points,
however, and Will probably not cut much
figure in the summing up.
