Colored Men in Convention.

The executive committee appointed
by the colored national convention at Louis
vile met at Washington on the 10Th.
Twelve states and the District Of Columbia
responded to the roll call. The chairman
stated that since the meeting of the conven-
ton the civil rights decision of the supreme
court had caused considerable agitation
among the colored people, and this would
no doubt incidentally affect the discussions
of the present meeting, but the members
should not lose sight of the main principles
enumerated at the Louisville convention.
Fred Douglas said the public mind was
largely divided On the recent decision OF the
supreme court. he suggested that if a
unar imous decision was possible by the
committee in the dissenting opinion of JUS
tice Harlan. it would be the proper thing
