COLORED MEMS DISCUSSIONS.
Close of the Interstate Conference a:
Pittsburg.

New York Times.
The proceedings Of the colOred mems
Interstate conference to-day were decid-
edly interesting. The chief feature of the
morning was the introduction of resOlu-
tons by Major Downing, of Rhode Is
land, declaring that the Democratic and
Republican managers have not, as arule,
respected the rights and proper feelings
of cOlored citizens in the management of
their parties, and directing the appoint
ment of a committee to meet after the
Presidential conventions and issue an ad-
dress to the colored voters and advise
them what policy to pursue in their cam
paign. Major Downing moved that the
resolutions be considered with closed
doors, but an animated debate ended in
the withdrawal of the motion. H. Price
Williams, of Philadelphia, created a SEN
sation by advocating the use of dyna-
mite as a means of securing political re-
cognition and the extension to colOred
men of the privilege of engaging in me-
chanical and business pursuits.
The afternoon session was bOisterous
and exciting. Mr.. Williams, of Phila-
delphia attempted at the outset to have
the conference place itself on record
against protective tariff, but his resolu-
ton to that effect was smothered. The
introduction of the report of the commit
tee of resolutions, condemning therecent
Supreme Court civil rights decision. fur
nished an opportunity for a number of
imprisoned addresses. Delegate Foster.
of Virginia was hOoted when he declared
the decision was wise. The report was
adopted, however, by an almost unani-
nous vote. The polical faith of the del
egates was tested when the committee re-
ported with a favorable recommendation
the resolution offered by Major Downing
at the morning session. 1t was tabled by
the decisive vote of 30 to p. The lead
ers of the conference profess to be well
pleased with the result.

were all fed together in an adjoining
yard. Alcohol was mixed with their
food, and after each meal they all fell
into deep sleep, but showed no signs of
excitement, except now and then slight
muscular trembling. The difference of
the effect of alcohol on human beings and
pigs is believed to arise from the small
ness Of a pigs brains, for the larger the
brain the more dangerous the effect of in
toxication. Hence, although the COM
panions of st. Anthony may occasionally
indulge in their taste for juniper, they
are IN no danger of being attacked by de-
lirium tremens.

Politically, things are very quiet. Com
mercially active, agriculturally dry. dry,
very very dry; an eight months drouth is
sufficient to parch up most of the vegeta-
ton that attempts to grow on sandy soil.
We have not had a sufficient waterfall
here since the 18th of last October to fill
up our cisterns, and the consequence is,
the vegetable and animal kingdom are all
suffering and thirsting for more rain.
Quite number of our population are
leaving for the north to spend the sum-
mer. The fine steamer Hancox started
last Sunday, as we learn, to make regular
trips as far up as Lake George, but she
unfortunately got out of or did not keep
inside of the channel, in Little Lake
George, and she stuck fast. and there re-
manned about thirty hours, although sew
etal of our large boats did their level best
to pull her off. On Monday evening, the
Sylvan Glen came up, and after several
desperate efforts succeeded in taking the
II. Back down stream. You must not
conclude that the dry weather has made
water scarce in Little Lake George, for
it is well known fact that the water is
ninety feet deep in that lake by actual
measurement, and that deep place is
where the BEST fish in Florida are caught
with hook and line. These fish are
known here as crackers and when
