This exhibited itself Iii h singular .degrpe in the contentibn, ivbich was held here yesterday for the purpose of electing delegates to th6 Natidbl Colored People's Conven. tion to be held in New Orleans on thb td of April. What nity be the objects of the proposed Codveihtioi, it ?s diflicult to say, as th. colofed people are to day in tile hnjoymeit of more rights, civil and political; thgt many of the white imen of the South. At any iate tbe people see-m to take no great intefest in the matter, and trbm what tada. ired yesterday it in More than robable that the Convention is Mdere yapolitical dodge gotten up by a few pdliti6idn fot the purpose of fdr thering their own individdal ends. About one-thid of the State WAS REFnIBENTED, And when the call of delegates was inade 28 atde*eted to' their unmps, and those were all, or' vei-y inearly M1l, lihiiians of the Byas and Mobley stamp., Tkid Confbntido was called to order by Lioutonaut Governor A. .J.

By as, in the course of his remarks, which were Mdelerd with all that mimicry of pompous eloquenco hioh 'char. acterized his legislative harangues, pitched into thb Administration for not doing justice to his race-and very d'eervedly too. IIe said that he hoped tie 06n,vention wduld do mand that the iights of race be grant. ed ; a race numbering in the Uni ted Statep nearly five million souls. He hoped the denliand would be dide to put a colored man in the Cabinet of the United States; that there wat no tther race-Irish or Diit6h-tkum bering so ihahy, who were not there r presented. - Finally after a long and apparent ly endless . talk, the Convention, so .called, adjourned, titter electing the follo*ing fdelegates to the New Or leans Cobivention : V. L. Cardotoi Lieutenant .Gover nor A. J. Ransier, R. B. Elliott, William J. Mcinlay, F. 11. Frost, W. B. Nash and J. S. Mobley. ' All these gentleman being office holdergi it is probable tiiA their voice will have some influenci with the man of smoke, and unless Byas or Jamison or Mobley or some of our sable solons are called to soheres of usefulness in the President's Cabinet, a row in th wigwam is not improba ble.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune assorts that the South Carolina delegation to the Philadelphia Convention is not in structed to vote for Grant. le says that a colored member of the delega tion has,expressed great dissatisfaction at the course of the President in re taining in office In that State persons who have interfered in State and loail "politics in such a barefaced manner that their removal has been asked for by the almost uunnimuous voice of the Republican party, as ex. pressed through the committees and bontetitions. General Grant has 6v6h no attention to the repeated requests for the removal of these officers.

And here to. day we copy from the Memphis Ap. peal a statement which odght to bom pel the thoughtful consideration of our Legislature. Oidr cotemporary says: "Every train of cars froni the Et brings negroes to the West and Souith. 'their destination io the lo* country of the M isssisppi and Arkansas. T he colored popul ition ouri4usly gravi. tate towardu the black lands-the cotton, sugar and rico fields.

It is boutrollod by inexorable laws, and, as we cannot conteract these, why not make some rational endeavor to scoure white people fr6m the old world I To the States above named bein partially abandoned, may be added the upper and rolling sections of South Caioling, Georgia, Alabama, and parts ot MihWisbippi, which are adapted to "white" farming, horticul ture, pnd manufacturing, in all their varieties. To what may belthe politiovdLrdsuitg from "the segregation of race," allud ed to by the Memphis Avalanche, from the huddling of the negroes into distinot communities at the South, w6 will not here advert. But In an in. dustrial view it is our duty to iark their design and effort to colonise themselves upon, and to monopolize the alluvial and warmer portions of he Southern States. It may be generally assumed that when the negro emigrant goes out, the white immigrant will go in. The portions of the South being thus depopulated of their old cla,:s of laborers, prosent a moot inviting field to immigrants and settlers of superior qualifications and race.
