P. Daniel, presi dent of the State board of health. This fact shows that there will he no attempt made tojconcenl tlie presence of the dis ease as was done last year, and, such be ing the c-se, the dungcr is larvly re duced.

A Convention Held by the col ored People at the Court Houims L4UM) Nliihla , A small handbill circulated among the colored voters of the city yesterday after noon announced that a meeting would be held at tlie court house at night, and urged also a full attendance of the afore said voters. - : Accordingly, at 9 o'ekark about two hundred clorcd men had assembled fat the building after the several times ring ing of the bell, and an organization was perfected by the election of Rev. E, J. Car ler permanent chairman and Charles E. Lane permanent secretary. ' C has. Lane explained the object for which the meeting was called by saying that the time had come when the colored Republican should and must receive rec ognition according to services performed for their white brethren. He, for one, was tired of being told to "wait a little longer." He had listened to that cry just as long as he intended to listen. White Republkans who thought that a negro was not good enough to fill office, must be taught a lesson. If the negro w:ts not fit to hold public offije, he certainly was not fit to vote Tor white Republkaus to fill them. The negro had been "counted out" at every convention, and this sort of pro ceeding was growing monotonously weary ft him. He thought that there were as decent negroes in AshevuTe as thete were white men, and one of those uegioea must be recognized by the so called ".citizens" or Republkan uomina. ling conventions at this time. He defied cither of these conventions to nominate a tk-ket without placing a negro upon it offered unanw-ptedge nouii negro Asbe- eontetf party or refused The ttnanimons sen. Tom Forney said thut there was some thing "ieeoolyer" alxwt that "citizen's" 'icket published in the papers, and he flwught there was a large-sized cat in that parlkular barn, judging from the way tlie rats ran out yesterday after noon. "We must have a colored alder man," lie said, "and any party that will place him upon its tkket we will sup- inn t. t-omcy said that the Democrats had come out iu the oiien and nominated a ticket like gentlemen, but the other side the white Republicans, mugwumps and fl ..doodles were "monkeying" with lite con red brother in a very loose and careless manner. It was hard to find out where that "cilizen's" tkket came from. It had a father once, but be had died away. The mother couldn't get away, and thecotored voter knew exactly where to find her every pop. "A colored alder man for this chile," shouted Thomas, and took his seat. I'roS- E. IL Ltpacombe, in a dignified and able speech supxrted the resolution offered by Lane. He said he was as much opposed to negro rule asany white man iu North Carolina, but he did think the negro wns entitled to receive that portion of right, justk-eand benefit which his capability and qualificatkm fitted him to receive. He would vote for and supjiort an able and respectable colored man for alderman of the city, but no other. He was in full sympathy with me movement, but was violently op losed to the formation of a negro party, " lieen use, he sincerely thought it would result in harm tu his race morally, intel lectually and otherwise. Other sieeches were made, each advo cat'tig Lane's resolution, and a commit- ' i r i . . . immense si ilc, private boxes, latest --- """-"" ij. imeuio select lour style oK'ra chairs, an immense assoit- incut of elegit a iy painted sceneiy, siage laid at the court house this evening.
