The Morning News in an editorial on Wedoeseay attempted to throw the responsibility of the de feat of prohibition in Atlanta npon the colored vote, and argues that out of the 40i'0 that w registered i Io vote; prohibition onlv got 500. I it continue* its laie>*ntatiouß bv Baying “If one half of the colored voter- had supported prohibition, victory would have been with the prohibitionist. If ihar is true is it not a lesson that might yield «Ofn« good to all natties if propnlv com-idered. I* la said that two years ago colored men supported the prohibitionist in Fulton county end carried it under promise* from them that their irhnds would repeal certain obnox ions laws operating against them, also that in the making up of the “political slate” the Negro should n«t be forgot ten. hut alas 1 likß “our b--s’ friends’ always do when ••lections are over the Negro like Rip Van Winkle, is soon forgotten. The leaders of parties in our State must learn that the color d m oi is dady obtaining knowledge, in fact he is improving his old time common sense and when the n’t mpt is made t<» defraud him of certain privileges by false promises, he Beals the fate of that reciprocity of feeling in thought and action- as would in other cases naturally xis . It is ihe workings nt hum «n nature the world over, and from the d feat of the prohibitionists in Fulton conntv the leaders might le >rn a )e*a<>n that mar be of importance to their parties in the coming election a year hence, by a proper treatment and respect for the colored vote. It is seldom that we ever have to chronicle the f ct ol our esteemed contemporary the Desi ince getting of its bise, bnt unf<»r , nn»it»»ly this time it ha*; and that to oppose the railing of a convention of colored tnen io this State, our friends ft eblv attempts to prove the uselessnes of such a convention bv a long worded editorial which is c imposed entfrelv of gnah. The statement made that the conven ion assembled in Atlanta some time ago in the interest of education was a ‘‘shame to the race*’ and was composed of “coun’y bo-se*, demagogues and political hireling-”—if true—is to be re gretted. but is no reason that colord men should never again meet in council »o consult npon matters that are of vital importance $•• the lutnre, civil and political welfare of their whole race. If that convention w so composed then for God s>ke help to m ike the repre notations propos ed in this one. good cues. There are plenty of good tried and true men tn the different counties, men who are loyaßo their race, and have the interest of their people at heart; neither are they ‘’county bosses, political hirelings or demagogues out will truly represent the wants ’ and wishes of our whole people. So lor as Chatham goes the acts of her representatives in past conventions held in Atla< ta has always been free from the courtesies of our friends “free entertainments,” we speak for them all. Thev paid as they went, full price. We regret with many friends to see our astute contemporary lose his base and attempt to deal io dirty flings and inuendoes to oppose a move whose whole object is to advance and better the condition of our race. * Think ag Ju Bros.

The following from the New Or leans Christian Advocate of the 24th instant will be read with pleasure by Prof, Morse’s many friend-: Prof. Samuel B. Morse, A. M,. • graduate of Atlanta University, Clans 1879, and a citicen of Savannah. Ga.. is spending a few months in this city among friends and rela tions. During Bi* stay he has consented to teach a class or two in instrumental and vocal music, in which he is qui'e a master, and is meeting, as hie ability demands, with brilliant success. He is the organist at Clin ton Street M E- Church. He gave a concert forth- benefit of that church recently, which was a grand success. The children and choir, trained bv such a master, reflected credit upon themselves and their teacher. Our people in the city would do well to induce Prof. Morse to take up his permanent residence among them. Dr. L G. Adkinson, President of New Orleans University, was present at the concert and enjoyed it. He could not he.p it. It waa enjovabie. Bro.
