Mr. Coulter, of Allegheny city. -
The Chairman suggested that the Coin;
mittee on Resolutions propose some "Red
Hot" resolutions, of course, , in regard to
some'of the , officers of the Convention who
are absent.
The third resolution in the report of the
Easiness Committee, presented on Monday
evening, was then taken up; The resoln.
tion reads as follows:
Resolved, That we demand the restora
tion of our political rights on the ground of
our birthright, as a recognition of our man
hood, as a defence of onr liberties, and as a
means of protection to"our wives and chil
dren. • •

he resolution , was adopted without' any
dis ussion. - ,
he third resolution, claiming suffrae
in' nsequence of servicearendered by the
colored people in time of 'War and hi time
of peace, and especially during the slave
holders' reliellien was thee takea up.
Ur. Cole, of. :Allegheny* said , that the
Convention was called for the 'purpose of
discussing the methods' of securing the
electiVe, franchise, and he 'thought there
should be an expression of opinion on that
Bunter thought there bould-certainly ,
be noopnosition to the adoption of the 1 . 88-
011A1011 as it read. .
Mr. Gatewood, of Manchester, said he
was one who had , mate - up from "Egys,"
'ont'of the land of opprion,' and ni lit
not be capable of advising the Conven tion
ins learned manner; but he felt that it was
thduty of all to express their views upon
the subject under consideration. Let them
appeal to Congress and labor to secure their
rights as best they could. ' The colored
peophiliad always fired, their shot into the .
ground, and 'they should now aim higher.
I%ir. Carson .thought the colored people
had a right to suffrage. It had been gran-
ted to them when William Nun came to
this 'country and when the' government
was founded. A colonial convention, which
subsequently met in Philadelphia, and
was presided over ,by William Penn,' in'
the constitution adopted, gave the elective
franchise to the free black man. An
amendment to this effect was subsequently
adopted In the State Convention, but was
repealed in r 1839. if the - black man voted
for one hundred ands seventy-six years
in the early part of this government, why
could he not vote now f
After, some further 'discussion by Messrs.
lo
Coulter, Murra y and Galloway i a vote , was
taken on the re m 'lnti and it was unani
mously adopte d.
1 - Mr. Sampson, Secretary, who had been
I absent, came into the Convention and it was
moved that a vote of censure be passed in
consequence of bis absence.
A reasonable excuse having been offered
and accepted, the motion was lost. •
The Secretary was then requested to cid
the roll of delegates, in order that' they
might have an ;opportunity of paying the
fee of membership.
Mr. Thompson gave notice that he would
bring up the matter of appointing dele
gates to the National ponvention at three
o'clock, and moved that that be made the
special business for that hour.
A delegate moved toSmendi by taking up
the busmosshnmediately.
' After , 'tonsiderable discussion, Mr. Pul
press moved to lay the matter on the table
until three o'clock, which was adopted.
- ' The fifth and sixth resolutions in the re
port of the Breainess Committee, presented
at the previous session, were taken up seri
atim and adopted without discussion.
Mr. Murray, from the Business Commit
tee, submitted the following report:
Resoived, That as economy is the great
principle of financial suocess, and that as
finance holds a controlling influence `over
the progress• of ,political rights, we would`
therefore teem:amend. colored men to the
substantial business enterprises and the
banking interests of the Country, and we
would' farther recommend, the establish
ment of a savings bank among the.colored
people, controlled by men of our own race,
as a means of develpping the effective
power and creating an influence, in the
monetary as well as political affairs of the
_ .
country. .
Be.solved, That we
" establish, a savings
bank, to be located in Pittsburgh, and, that
a committee be appointed to draft a consti

GENTLMEN : We, your petitioners, would
most respectfully urge you to the consider

In goVernment where the will of the peo

of the separate schools provided for colored

other facilities not only greatly inferior In

recommending that the various religious
societies he requested to observe the first

prayer, -in commemoration' of the eman

After eonsiderable discnasion the resoln
ton was adopted. -
Accompanying the report of,the Business
Committee was a resolution , expressive of
the sense of the Qimmitted that colored
men in business, who •made invidious and
degrading distinctions between white and
black men in the Coniiiii'%f their, business,
prevent or .hinder colored 'people fronts

without discussion - •
Of nearly every State lathe North, Penn

of the colored man and her opposition, to

plant it; only to dig out her rich ores; only
to labor in building up her substantial
wealth, and only to' help fight her battles
in behalf of the nation without any recog
nitien or participation in her governing
powers, 'or even the enrollment of her bleak
heroes' names on her State. Roll of Hdnor.
In her courts of law, neither'in the bar

cannot profit' her -to keep us weak. 'We

We are to be - punished for crimes and

Yesterday morning it young man
,en
tered the Union Depot about nine o'clock,
..
and began In such a 'Manner' as In
duced'officer Chas, Havls l to eject him from
the building, under the supposition that
i
he was Intoxicated. His actions when put
outside led to the belief t hat he was labor
ing under the effects of mama a potu, and
accordingly the officer arrested and con
veyed' him in a wagon to the lock-up.
When placed in a cell he stripped off his
coat 'emit shirt, and in a I few minutes bad
them torn - into ribbons.i • At intervals he
would recover sufficiently to converse with
those about him. During one of these
lucid periods he gave his name as Enid.
Candorosin, and stated that was a Mexi
can by birth and of Freh parentage. lie
speaks French, - Span ish and Italian,
and says 'he .• came here from Michi
gan. He became quite violent during the
afternoon, and officers Cupoles and Mess
ner were compelled to put handcuffs upon
him to prevent his self-destruction. Sub
sequently he"was committed to jail las a
vagrant, but he should, land will, doubt
less, be removed to Dixmont. It is the
opinion of those who were with him in the
afternoon that he was afilicted with insan
ity, rather than mania a potu.

tle piece of romance Which might 'deserve
. . , •
place in a newspaper. . On the 4th. day of
last July a pretty young lady become ac
quainted with a well doing young man,
who had "great- expectations," having a
rich bachelor uncle without any heir save
himself. Of course, John, as the hero may
be called, had to please his relative in all
things, not even excepting his love affairs,
and the female society he kept. The young
folks on becoming acquainted, became
enamoured with each other, and after a few
weeks of courtship, matrimony appeared
not a great way off in the dim future. 1 , 21 n
fortunately, some busy person carried unfa:
vorable reports about a "Dutch girl" his
nephew waa going to see in Lawrenceville,
where'she resided. These rumors were
vague, only saying she was 'Watch," a
great objection in the eyes of the old man,
and that She was not worthy of John's
heart.. The girl, inspired by love, deter
mined on proving herself to the contrary.
So on learning that the' family where the
old bachelor resided needed a housekeepeirl'
she consulted John, and determined tci
take the place. She applied, was accepted;
and ,entered upon her duties. :' Her tidy
ways, good humor, sweet and. pleasant
xriannera, soon, won for her the love of all
about the house, not even exceting the
old cynic, whose - objections to her 'she had
determined to overcome. John was in the
secret, and was pleased to observe what
rapid inroads the object of his Own affeo;
Lions: was making on ill about her. The
old gentleman frequently spoke in dispar
agement of John'a Dutch girl, and set him
self abotit making a -match for him with
his favorite, who he never dreamed. was the
self same yixen he had despised for no
good reason. The denouement came,, the
old bachelor acknowledged himself:sold,
butwei Willing that John'should take the
girl and be happy. 'A' wedding maybe'ex
pected shortly, in the neighborhood of
Fifth Ave., when the names will , come out
