Pescud is out of the city on a brief Northern tour. Col. John L. Morehead was in t.hn fiitytoaaj. r A convention of the colored people of North Carolina called ostensibly to take into consideration affairs con nected with the welfare of their race both from a political and personal point of view, met in Metropolitan Hall at 12:30 o'clock today. There was a considerable attendance includ ing representative men from different sectious of the State. To place the objects of the conven tion in its true light, it can be stated on the authority of a prominent member that they were "here to claim a just share of the public patro nage and to denounce those men who had assumed to themselves the sole leadership of the Republican party in North Carolina " Another dele gate declared that this was the regu lar Republican Convention of the State, and that the Convention to be held next Thursday was a "variega ted Convention." Whatever may be the motive for the call, it is conceded that the "pick of the race" was pres ent, representing some of its worth in an intellectual point. This much can be said with due regard for candor. The Convention was called to or der by James H. Young, of Raleigh, who delivered a neat address. He denied the object of the Convention to be the disruption of the Republi can party, that they were here to de mand their just rights, etc. He said that if Mr. Windom .was not satisfied with him for representing his people he might revoke the commission he held. He reviewed the position of the administration relative to office, and declared that the colored people will get nothing unless it be demand ed. He denied drawing color line, but insisted that color should not dc -bar him from office. He cited the revenue service for what he said rela tive to debarring men for color. The colored men are the Republican party of North Carolina. He invited the bosses to look at this Convention and see for themselves. He claimed that the colored race had all the profes sions, had all the white people had except the offices. He would give the bosses a lively time in carrying the State. He cited other Conventions, which resulted in elevating colored men to office. He said the Democrats had doue some bad things, such as school fund distribution, placing on juries, Payne election law, requiring new registration, with residence, etc. Ministers of the gospel present were invited to seats on the stand. The call for the Convention was read. It arraigns the administration for non appointment of colored men to office, declares that the bosses seem to no longer desire their votes, except for their own selfish purposes, con demns the failure to pass the Blair bill, etc. E. E. Smith, ex-Consul to Liberia, was made temporary chairman. On taking his seat he delivered a neat speech tendering his thanks for the honor conferred. He declared that the convention was the beginning of a great end, by expressing grievances and demanding redress. ' Prof. C. H. Moore was chosen tem porary secretary. A committee on credentials was an- pointed one from each Congression al district. J. D. Patterson, editor of the Ne gro World, of Nashville, Tenn., was invited on the platform. Dr. J. C. Price addressed the Con vention. Said it was a colored man's Convention, and on that account he had a right to be here (Mr, Price is very black). Claimed proportionate part. He wanted no political office. He was for principle, but as a negro he expected fair treatment. If not he should give a protest to the bosses. Denounced self-constituted leaders who had gone to headquarters and reported that the negroes could be wnipped into the line. The colored man likes fruit, peaches, apples wa- tevmilUons, &e. He likes political fruit too, and oughtjlto-have It. The policy of prescribing the netrro has resulted badly, but the negro was not responsible. He took up the educa tional qualities, which he discussed with some ability. Don't ask any thing because we are colored, but we don't want to be denied everything because we are colored. He claimed to be a North Carolinian in all re spects; native and to the manner born, and loved his native 8tate. He dwelt with much facetiousness on the "due regard" in the law relative to education. Prices speech was both eloquent and forcible; he made many very stirring points. James H. Harris 'next spoke: no man could be at a loss, to speak in behalf of the principles of the Republican party; that the convention had not met to ask anything because they were colored, but they came toaek recognition upon the principle of right. That the principles of the Re publican party today were as correct as they were twenty five years ago, wnenthey were first laid down. He urged the convention not to blame the party for what a few indi viduals had done or failed to do. He held that the working man paid the taxes of North Carolina; that a mans thousands of acres of rich lands were worthless to any man without the negro to cultivate it and raise the to bacco and cotton upon which the planter realized his thousands. He said he liked the Democrats, that he loved some of them, that he had pray ed for them and preached to them, hoping to convince some of them but he hated their political ways. He spoke on the Payne election bill.upon education and counseled the conven tion whatever they did to be moder ate, conservative and delibrate, and make their demands in such a way as to be heard and heeded. He said that when he was against the exodus movement his race was almost ready to put him out; that his predictions had proven true and it was wrong, impolitic; that letters had been received proving all these things. The exodus was wrong, indeed a mis fortune. John C. Dancy was called out and spoke for some time and made a very good speech. He said he was in deep and abiding sympathy with the prin ciples which prompted the call of this Convention. There were men in the Republican party who did not en dorse the principles of that party. Rev. P. O. Connell said he was here simply to give countenance to the movement for which the Convention was celled; He said you must con trol North Carolina. You can't trust her until you control; you must get hold of her some way or other. On motion J. H. Williamson, the originator of the Convention was made permanent chairman, by accla mation. He made a speech, giving an outline of the work the Conven tion was expected to do. He wanted it stated that the Convention was not a failure. He said he had voted for a man named John Nichols, who told him it was a disgrace for a negro to hold an office, and he should not hold an office in the 4th district if he could help it. C. H. Moore was chosen permanent Secretary. At the time oar report closed the committee had not report ed on resolutions. SPECIAL NOTICES. A good five room house at $12.50 per month. J.

Remember that the colored elocu tionist, Mary Jones, appears at Met ropolitan Hall tomorrow night. The Salisbury Times says: The concert in the Opera House on Tues day night was a very creditable affair indeed. The programme, which con sisted in vocal music, recitations, 4c. was carried out to the letter, and its rendition was excellent. As a rule, colored people have strong and pow erful voices, but in the case of Mary Jones, hers is not only strong and powerful, but shows cultivation and training to a high degree. Her elo cutionary skill is above the average, and she gives a down right good en tertainment. She was greeted with a fine audience, but we are sure that a larger number would have been present had it been generally known that the concert was one of merit. Box sheet open at McRae's drug store.
