CoIored Editors in Convention.

CINCIkNATI, o., March 1.-THE Sey-
enth Annual Convention OF the Colored
Press association opened under very
favorable auspices at Allen Temple this
morning. The attendance Was large.
The president, John Mitchell, Jr., called
the convention to sorder, and in his
annual address called attention to the
increase Of outrages in the South, to the
plain violation of the rights of citizens
as granted by the Constitution OF the
United States. He referred also to the
attitude Of the two political parties,
which he said was the cause for serious
alarm, that the defeat of the Blair edu-
cational bill, the failure to favor to the
Federal election bill and the condonlng
Of the Freedman's bank deal are power
ful indexes for the drift Of pubic senSl-
ment in both parties.
He concluded by saying: "The Re
pnblican party of the nation, owing 10
treachery in its rank, has grlevousiy
disappointed Us. In the future the
colored man must set up himself ana
proceed to do all he can to alleviate his
condition.
