\ that the delegation will number about
eighty Of the most prominent negroes in

property, influence, and intelligence
of this section in most remarkable de-
gree. The Committee" for such il is,
he SAYS, will include Pinchbeck, Allan

are all men Of prominence, property and
distinction as their race goes.
The members Of the delegation have
all been canyassed, and there opinion is
that the time has come when the cOlored
man has the right to expect larger
share of the patronage. il is proposed,
therefore, that the claims of the negroes
shall be presented TO him and demand
made for a greater degree of considera-
ton than has heretofore been bestowed
upon them. No negro will be endor;ed
