Call and aaeara i gratify tha boo! fea* eepfT If The lUdioiilM of KumcII county, Ala., bald their noinitmting contention^ in OU rerd yeatarday. It was a convention ot' delegates from tue several heats, hut the large attendance gave it more (be appear- ance of a mass meeting. It yarn evident that many negroes attiiiMed under'the impression that they wereusfiee to h|h*sk and vote as the delegates, and it gave the temporary chairman some trouble * to undeceive them in this respect. Several who rose with words of wisdom or patri otism on their lips weru summarily put down by tho chilling reminder, ‘mot a delegate.*' For a loug time befoie the Convention opened, the leadeis of the party, white ami b<ack, together with the candidates, were caucusing with closed doors in tl\e blacksmith shop near the school-houHe, and it waa understood that everything waa “cut and dried” in this exclusive pre liminary meeting. - We notioed. among the whites M. L. Patterson, nominee for Circuit Judge, and Isaac* Heyman of Ope lika. Among the blacks from ar distance were Bill Turner, of Elmore, and Williams, assistant postmaster at Enfaula. It Boon became evident that the white outsider# had moulded the Convention to suit their purposes, though we believe there was but one wbit^ delegate in it. Eliku Marino,‘the colored wood work man at Forsyth's blacksmith shop, in Gi rard, called tho meeting to order in a very dictatorial and peremptory manner. He nominated Solomon Claik, oolored, for chairman, and got a white secretary in some manner which we could not oatch. scene of confusion then occurred. Elihu announced that there was a dispute about some of the delegations. Millen moved the appointment of a committee of live on credentials. Frank Ford charged that a “clique" composed of per sons running up and down on the M. A G. Railroad, was trying to rulo the con. vention, and moved that the committee be appointed “by the sense of the house,” not by the chairman. In the midst of the ooufusion rampant, u delegate moved to “open with prayer,” which was agreed to, and a prayer, which we refraiu front criti cising, was offered by a colored tuau. The oommifteo was finally chosen “by the sense of the house,” and retired. During their absence, in response to calls, Williams, colored assistant postmas ter at Eufaula, made a speech. He com menced by counselling harmony aud warn' ing his party that they had before them a fight such as they had never before had in Alabama; that iu this contest they ‘had either to go down for gooil, or to go up forever.” He declared that in Georgia colored men were crushed to powder ou account of their color.” They had no time for Irifliug. He called for 1200 1400 majority in Russell, which he said his party could roll up. He charged that the olftoers heretofore t lected in Russell had not done justice t«> the colored peo pled hat they had not. appointed them as jurors, though they had white jurors better qualified than the negroes. He said that the cry about civil rights and social eqnality was raised by the same men who raised the rebellion, aud that they raised it for the purpope of arraying the white men against the negroes; that there was no social equality iu the Civil Rights bill—it did not require mixed schools, or mixed railroad or hotel accommodations! He said that he and his race did not want social equality— they only wanted justioo and tho samo sort of accommodations for their money that the white men got for theirs. (Do not the laws already give them this?) Some nearly white colored persona, he said, wanted social equality, because they olaimed lhat their fathers were white, but the eiiaon pure negroes don't—they had had too much of it already. He ap pealed to his audionoe to bo oautiona what they said or did, because tho news papers would report them wrong anyhow (queer logic.) When Williams had concluded, the committee on credentials not having re turned, another committee was sent out to bring them in. On motion of Millen, a committee permanent organization was appointed. Thos. Harvey was called on to apeak, but Milieu objected to a candidate’s speak ing. Harvey, with his mouth and hands full of gingerbread, protested that the only reason for the objection was the fear that the candidate would“oanvass” for him self, and deolared“on his word and honor that he would not canvass.” But the turn of the committees out off the speech for whioh he had plead so earnestly. The committee on credentials made report, which waa adopted without con tee*. The committee on permanent officer! reported Elihu Marino for President, and ftsmuel Strong, white, for Secretary (Mr. H;.roog, we believe, is not a Republican.) Filihn took tha chair with muoh reluc tance. He deolared that he had endeav ored to avoid the position, but the dele gations seemed dissstisfled with the ohsirmao and wanted him! He went to work with a vim—deolared that they had been there all day and done nothing; but if the delegates would sustain him he would show them how business would be done. Millen rose and nominated Hon. Sim eon O'Neal for Probate Judge, and called for hia nomination by acclamation. Ob- jeetion to this mode of nomination was made. The ayev and r.oes were e died for, and Elihn put. the question thus: “All who are in favor of the nomination of Mr. O'Neal say I.” Home said I. “All opposed, by the same rule”—to which there waa no response. He deolsred Mr. Simeon O'Neal the Probate Judge, in the midst of objections that lie had not given tbe other party any right to vote. Millen than nominated Hart Perry for Sheriff by acclamation. Prank Ford ob jected end called for a ballot. The Presi dent told him “the majority moat rule, and if you don't know it I'll let you know it; and I don't want yon to interrupt me. Don't eay a aord while I am talking.” A negro delegate here charged that the telegraph had brought men from Elmore and Lee counties to control the conven- they called for fried ohicken they didn't want greens. Elihu was evidently very reluctant to ) put iu the name ef Mr. Ware. He asked if Mr. Warn hnd (< effm>befo]« .t(te Con- j vcntiod»-*a qtesSWHmt-TMked * ebout r O’Neil or Perry. A delegate declared j that Mr. W^e stood before the Conven- | tion in the ettitudw»of-ifit “independent,” j and Elihu gave a learned exp'anatlon of I what an “independent” was. Neverthe less, Ware’s uame was put in, and Millen SHked the Secretary to call the roll and lot the delegates answer. According to our count the vote stood l."> for Perry and 3 for Ware, and the President declared Perry the Sheriff of Russell county. A delegate iu>iw moved to “adjourn this Convention ; ' but the motion wan not put. The oppoHition to “the Clique appear ed here to break -d »wrn for a while, and the following jmiAinjtious were huccos- sively made with tome ease and prompt ness; County' Treadurir, Joseph Allen ; Tex Collector, Wm. H; Strong ; Tax Ah- seaaor, David Peck; Clerk of the Circuit Court, W. A. B. Faulkner/the incumbent. Ford hefo ro*e and nominated Prince Gardner .for. Representative, and another delegate deolared that he was too soon— the cefihty ticket liad ubt yet been com pleted. Elihu to Ford—“Keep your seat, with- ontyon know what you are talking about." Nominations for four A)oramissionerH of Roads and Revenue ifere next called for, end the following persons nominated: John McG’VUgh; Rev. Harry Blount, Phil. Walker and Wiley Lewis. During the squabble over the Commis sioner*, one delegate said he wanted ool ored nun. Another said they did not want men, but brains. No. 1—“And the colored men liavn’t got brains” ? No. 2— ‘Not in the right place." The division that exhibited itself iu re ference to the first nominations was appa rent again when the convention came to nominate Representatives. Ford, deter mined to be first this time, nominated riuee Gardner, aud called for his nomi nation by acclamation. The President lost all his promptness; the first advocates the “acclamation" vote were taken aback. Instead of a vote on Gardner separately, other nominations were made and the vote was called. Gardner got nine votes oat of the eighteen. Home contended it wss a majority, and some disputed it. Finally, after a good deal oufusiou aud wrangling, it was agreed to receive nominations aud tako the vote by ballot—each ticket to contain two names. Prince j ruled, 1 w Gardner, Burton Loug, J. D. Daniel, j ilihu Marino and Wash Thompson were j nominated, a’.l colored, we believe. Gard- ; tier and Daniel were pronounced the ! nominees on the first balloting. It was declared that they had received 12 votes each, though we could uot by nnoffioial count make out that many for Dai.'el. It is our impression that what Ford oslled “the clique" was defeated in tho nomination of Daniel. We had heard that Burton Long was the man agreed upon by the leaders. But, be that as it may, it is evident that there is much dis satisfaction with the ticket. Whether it will lead to a split of the party, or to tho Domination of another ticket, wo cannot All the nominees, we think, are whites, except Peck, for Tax Assessor; Blount, for Commissioner, and Gardner aud Daniel, for Representatives ; and the white nominees, !o understand, as*» all Democrats. When we left the Convention Bill Tur ner was splurging and declaiming in the most sensational style about the wrongs of his rae». He declared that the whites of Alabama wero making war upon the negroes; that every mail brought ac counts of outrages and murders commit ted ; that a dear friend of his had been shot down for no other reason than that he was a Federal officer in the discharge of his duties, ike. This was the same Bill Turner, of Elmore, who oooed so gently in onr court-house on the night before. We left with a sense of oppres sion and disgust, caused by the exhi bition of such double-dealing and decep tion by one whose speech in Columbus had impressed us so favorably.
