Colored State Convention--2d and 3rd
Days.
Being promised with a report, of tlie
proceedings of this body yesterday, for
publication, we spent only a few minutes
in the City Hall, and as the report has not
been handed in, we do not know, what was
done. We do know, however, that some
most outrageous speeches were made, for
we heard a portion of one 01 two, and
they so ruffled our feelings and were so
insulting that we quit the room in dis
gust.
The object of this Convention, as j
Turner informs us, is to test the Radical
party in regard to the right of the color
ed man to hold office, lie wants the sub
ject brought at once before Congress and
have the question settled- He holds, and
sensibly, too, that the right to vote is in
separable from the right to hold office,
and if he is denied either he will reject
both.
Since the above was in type the follow
ing has been sent in at our request. We
give it room that all may know what is
going on in our midst:
I'BOCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION.
The Convention of colored men mot
yesterday at 10 o’clock, Vice President
John T. Costin in the Chair.
Prayer by Rev. IP B. ltucker.
The minutes*were read and approved
after somt}* correction.
Mr. Turner took the Chair, and an
nounced the reception of a dispatch from
a New York Convention, which was read
and ordered to go upon the Journals.—
The dispatcli read as follows :
Utica, N. Y etc.—We tender you our
sympathy in this trying hour of your race.
Stand firm.
(Signed) J. W. Lognan.
Chairman Now York Convention.
Hon. J. E. Bryant came in, and was
hy motion invited to a seat on the floor.
On motion of Mr. Costin, the following
dispatch was returned to the New York
Convention :
lion. J, W. lognan, President of the New
York Convention :
We have your assuiance of sympathy.
Thank you. We have dedicated ourselves
to the success of the issues at stake, and
the Empire State of the South joins hands
with the Empire State of the North in
battling for universal rights. Our Con
vention is large and a unit. Nearly one
hundred counties are represented—about
175 delegates now in session and more
arriving.
(Signed) II. M. Turner.
President Geoogia State Convention.
On motion of Mr. Houston, Mr. Bel
cher was added to the list of Secretaries.
Mr. Bryant was invited, by a vote of
the House, to address the Convention,
which he did at considerable length, lie
reviewed the whole history of lleconstruc
tion in this State, and concluded oa the
rights of the negro under the new Con
stitution. He said one man had the same
right under it as another had, and he as
sured the Convention that the great bulk
of the Democratic citizens of Georgia did
not endorse the action of the Legislatuie,
and that several members of the Legi.-lu-
ture had, several times, said that they
would give any thing in the world, nearly,if
the negroes were back in their seats; but
they only regarded their expulsion, he
feared, for policy’s sake. He told them
that everybody knew that General Grant
would be the next President, whether
Georgia goes for him or not; but let col
ored men dare to do right, if they died
with the ballot in their hand, not by il
legal means though, but under the law.—
Y 7 et if they could not vote their senti
ments, then go away and Congress would
not allow that county to be counted with
the votes of Georgia.
After Mr. Bryant had concluded, sev
eral resolutions were offered, all of which
were referred to the Committee on Reso
lutions.
The hour of 1 o’clock having arrived,
the Convention adjourned till 3 r. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention met at the time ap
pointed, IT. M. Turner in the Chair.—
The Committee on Address to the People
of Georgia reported along and ably writ
ten document. Time would not permit
us to review it. After some laudatory-
remarks from Simms, of Chatham, Ilarri
son, of Hancock, Beard of Richmond, and
another delegate from Thomas, whom the
Convention would not hear because he
did not speak to the point, the report of
the Committee was adopted.
The Committee to memorialize Con
gress then reported a still longer docu
ment, which Mr. Sitmns read with much
fluency. The document appeared to be
almost an analysis of the Constitution and
of the laws of Georgia, and argued the
negro’s eligibility to a seat in the General
Assembly or to any position he might be
elected to with great force. It stated
that if the negro was ineligible to his seat,
Georgia was still under military rule, she
is not in the Union, etc.
It finally concludes with the following
questiou. Speakiug to Congress, it says :
Shall we look to your august body in the
future for protection from injustice as we
have in the past, or must we protect our
selves ?
The report was adopted hy a standing
vote, and was unanimous.
Several other resolutions were then of
fered, and referred to the respective com
mittees. When the House adjourned
amid the wildest enthusiasm over the
able reports of.the committee. They met
to day at ten, and will try and adjourn
this evening or to-night.
A committee of ten delegates were ap
pointed to draw up a Constitution and
By-Laws for a State organization, to be
known as the Civil aod Politieal Rights
Association of Georgia. This is to be
purely a colored organization.

Bluffing a Peddler.
A well-known tin ware peddler travelled up
town to dispense notions to such as were wil
ling to bargain. He was a persevering trader,
ind never would he bluffed off with a short
inswer. From one house in particular he re-
eei' ed assurances that nothing was wanted.
They never bought, anything in that way.”
Nevertheless lie made his calls steadily with
each regular round, till he became a regular
pest, and in reply to the information that i:
was useless to call, made known his purpose
to do so just as often a? he pleased.
One bitter cold day the bell rang, and the
good lady hastened to get her hands from tli.
dough, in which they were busy, to answer the
call; when she reached the door, there stood
the everlasting tin-pedler.
“Any tin-ware to-day ma’am ?”
“Have you any tin for kitchens?’’
“ Yes, ma’am.” And away he goes to bring
the samples, chuckling at the idea that his
zeal was so successful at last.
“There’s nothing like hanging on,” he mut
tered.
The tins were brought, and tin pans were
next inquired for. The pans were brought, and
other articles enumerated, to seven different
kinds, until a goodly- portion of the peddler's
load had been transferred to the house.
“ Is there anything else you want ?’’
“ Oh, no, I don’t want any of these ; I only
asked ifyouliad them.”
The peddler was fairly ‘sold’ and for a mo
ment felt like getting angry, but the idea rather
tickled him, and he commenced returning his
wares to the cart, without uttering a word. He
has never called at. that house since.

The sequel to this interview we give to

This was entirely satisfactory, as it includ
ed both the parties present, and was the
consummation both devotedly wished, ex
cept us to time, which appeared to be un
reasonably delayed. “Shall we be happy ? ’
“I’eriectly.” Now followed a question in
which the young lady desired a faithful
solution, as it appeared to her the con
summation of earthly bliss. “Shall we
have children?” “Yes. ’ “Girls and
boys?” “Certainly.” “How many?”—
The answer to this the young lady
was anxious to note carefully, as much
depeuded upon the result. Blanchette
was deliberate, evincing uo haste, desirous
of making no mistake in the figures, hut

eldest son, at Washington, on the 24th |

and took rooms at B.irnum’s City Hotel, j

when she left with her son and was driv
en direct to Locust Point. Here, veiled,
unknown to the large crowd on the pier,
tiie widow and son of the late President
went on hoard the steamship Baltimore,
bound to Bremen. Site at once went to
tier state room, and as her name did not
appear on the passenger list furnished by
the agent of the line, (it being withheld,
it is supposed, at the request of the lady)
;Le fact of her actual departure for Eu-

after the sailing of the ship. Those inti
mately acquainted with Mrs. Lincoln aver
that her visit to Europe at this time is
for the purpose of placing her youngest
son at a school in Germany, after which
she will probably spend the winter in the

What Passed for Money.
Many things have hen used nt different times
as money : cowrie shells in Africa ; wampum
or beads made of clam shells by the American
Indians ; soap in Mexico. The Carthage).inns
used leather as money* probably bearing some
mark or stamp. Frederick II., at the seige of
Milan, reviving this custom, issued stamped
leather as money. In 1350, John the Good.
The Corpus Christ i Advertiser has
from a correspondent these- particulars or
a bloody and fatal affray which took place
on the west side of the river, above Oak
ville, on the 2-d ult., between Mr. Hen
derson Williams and Sic Brown, about
some beeves that cere turned into a herd
against the wish of Mr. Williams. The
latter claimed authority over said beeves,
as partly his own and partly those for
whom he held agencies.
Some woida nc. urred at fir.-t which cul
minuted in the drawing of weapons, which
were heavy dragoon six shooters. Both
parties being mounted, at each successive
shot they charged up closer to their dread
ful work. The tiring was very rapid, and
the combatants became enveloped in the
smoke of their weapons, which -were lap
ped together on the last round. Mr.
Brown’s firing was wild, owning, no doubt,
to the fact that he received a mortal cen
tre shot from Williams’ first fire, although
he sat firmly, until shot the third time
through the body, which entering the
heart, tie fell a corpse on the instant.—
Williams was unhurt, hut his horse was
shot in the head, and was fractious and
unruly during the fight. Both parties
had numbers of well-armed friends on the
grouno, Itr no as-istancc or interference
was offeree, and the issue was fairly and
squarely tested. Both men were undoubt
edly brave to the la>t inch such as would
d> honor to any cause, right or wrong.—
But it is a sad, very sad thing indeed,
that men of forty years of age must draw
their weapous to decide questions of pro
priety.

My object in writing to you is to find out uoon
what terms I can get the medicine directly
from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I
shall use a great deal of it.' I am aware that
the use of such articles is contrary to the teach
ings and practice of a great majority of the
regular line ot M. D.'s, but I see no just cause
or good sense in discarding a remedy which we
know to he efficient, simply because we may be
ignorant of its combination. For my part, I

to alleviate suffering humanity which 1 may lie
able to command—not hesitating because some
one more ingenious than myself may have

. tmit in no c;tse whatever will it fail to cure, if
’ the directions are strictly foilovved and carried
• out. In a great many cases a single dose has
! been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
• have been cured by a single bottle, with a per
fect restoration to the general health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every case more cer
: tain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller
doses for a week or two after the disease ii,x>
| been checked, more especially in difficult and
: long-standing cases. Usually, this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels it

. quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose
