Alexander Pope Abell of W 'ginia, John Stout of South Carolina, JN " Bozeman of Mississippi, J. w Montgomery Wilson of Maryland, and Joseph Walker of Virginia.

The report was finally recommitted with instructions to the committee to confne the list to those last named As amended 1t included the name of Rev. w. W. Gardner of Ken lucky.

 Rev NJ M. Vaun, colored, president of the American National Baptist conven- tion, was introduced as the man who occupied the highest position in his race and who would occupy but minute or the time of the convention. When the minute was up Dr. Vaun said he hated to let his audience go, for he seldom had such an opportunity Uaughter) He said the colored people were intensely Christian and intensely Baptists, and that what they lacked in sanctified in- telligence they proposed to make up in zeal. Since the emancipation proclama- tion out of 100000 colored people liber- i bod brfaI rIaf if1fn the Baptist church. while out of 50,00O,- 900 white people and after 200 years of work, but few more have united with the same church. pr. Vaun created deep and favorable impression upon the convention, and was listened to for quarter of an hour
