DAMAGES CLAIMED FOR BEING CALLED A NxGxL0.—A suit is pending in the Fourth Dis- trict Court, the decision of which involves some novel points in law. A man named Tyos was expelled from the Hackman’s Benevolent Association on the ground that he was of African blood, and he sued a member of the association named Murphy, for damages in the sum of five thousand dollars, as the party Who moved the expulsion and alleged that he was of Aircan descent The damages were claimed upon the ground that the assertion was false, and that he is of Caueasian blood. In the changed condition of our social and political organization, result- ing from the war, it is probable that the Courts Will not regard it as any more offensive to ella man a negro than it would be tocall Bim a Frenchman, an Englishman, or an Irishman, but other considerations enter into this case. Tyos married a white woman in this city Many years ago, who has borne to him several children; and to say that he had negro blood in him would be equivalent to saying that his ebildren were illegitimate; for at the time of bis marriage, matrimonial relations between the two races were prohibited. The decision of the court will be looked for With interest. The testimony showed beyond doubi that the plainttff was boru in Nova’ Sco- Ua, and that his progenitors, traced as far back as his grard parents, were of the Cauca- sian stock, both grandfather and. grandmother having emigrated from Ireland to Neva Sto- uua.—New Orleans Crescent.

Dr. Nelson, from the committee on new par- ishes, presented a report. whieh was adopted, yecommended that Trinity parish, Howard county, and Grace Uhured parish, Wasbing- ton, D.C, be admitted into union with the Convention, and that Oburc ville parish, Har- ford county; [ncarnation ang St. Paul's, Wash- ington, and Grace Church parishes be permit- ted te organize Rev.

He gave notice that at the next Uon vention, special or otherwise, he would ack leave for the erection of the diocese of Washington, with euch boundaries as may then be determined. The tellers of the yote for standing com- mittee reported the following as electea: Rev. Drs. Pinckney, Nelson, Rankin, Crosdale, MeKenney, Mahan and Lewin. The memorial of the clergy and lay mem- ‘bers of the Eastern Shore, for the division of the diocese and ihe erection of a new see. was then read by the secretary. After a etate- ment trom the Rev. Dr. Lewin. the Rev. Dr. Nelson moved that the request of the petition- ers be granted. Mr. Daniel Clarke moved, as a substitute, that it be referred to the commit- tee on so much of the Bishop’s address as re- fers to himself and the eplacopat Alter debate, Rev. Dr. Hall moved the pre- vious question on the substitute of Mr. Clarke, when the substitute was declared lost. The question then occurring on the resoln- tion of Mr. Nelson, was passed. On motion of Rev. Dr. Mahan, & committee of four, consisting of two clerical and two lay members. was appointed to communicate to Bishop Whittingham the action of the Uon- vention in reference to the division of the Diocese. The committee is as follows: Revs. Mason and Crossdale, and Messrs. Adkinsand Burnett. Rey. Mr. Christian moved the adoption of the proposed change in the 5th article of the Constitution, which at present requires six months’ notice to be given of the election of an Assistant Bishop. The change, as pro- posed, requires enly three months’ notice. The vote was taker by ballot, resulting as followe: Clerical vote—yeas 31, nays 38. Lay vote— yeas 42, nays 21.—Baltimore Commercial. TurEp Day.—The Convention reassembled Friday morning, and prayer was conduct- ed by Rev. Messrs. Miller and Parkman. Rey. Dr. McKenney, president pro tem., took the chair and called the Convention to order. Rev. Dr.Mahaa, trom the committee on so much ofthe Bishop’s address as refers to him- selfand the episcopate, presented a report stating that there were two modes of relief tor the diecese discussed by the Bishop—one be- ing the appointment of an Assistant Bishop, to which the Bishop is opposed. It is a meas- ure of doubtful propriety, and, ifadopted by the Convention, would result in the resigna- tion ofthe Bishop Thecommittee agree with the views expressed by the Bishop, and recom- Mend the second mode proposed, namely: the division of the present diocese into three dio- ceses, one to be thé Eastern Shore, the second to consist of the city of Washington, with the Potomac counties, and the third the city ot Baltimore and the upper countries The com- mittee further unanimously recommend the appointment of a committee of nine, com- posed of clerical and lay delegates, to con- Sider the outline of the divisions proposed also, 4 committee of three to consider the best way of dividing the episcopal fund among the dioceses proposed, to be made in their re- Ort ‘i An additional resolution to the report was submitted by Rev. Mr. Old<, that the Conven- tien give its consent tosuch farther division ot the diocese a- will make Washington city the see of a separate diocese. The reading of the report gaye rise to gen- eral digcussion, participated in by Rev. Dr. Hall. Rev. J. V. Lewis, D. Clarke, Mr. Per- ine, Col. Hughes, and Mr. Marbury. The lat- wer gentleman, in opposition to the adoption of the report, claimed that the clergy and laity Of the diocese desired the present Bishop to resign, and that the diocese of the whole State could be properly superintended and regu- lated by one efficient man in the episcopal office. Tne speaker claimed to be supported in his views by a large aumber of gentiemen, both clerical and lay Rey. Mr. Olds addressed the body, and con- cluded by withdrawing his amendment. The question upon the adoption of the report of the committee and resolutions was ealled for, aud the resolutions were acted upon seri- atim, and adopted. Rey. Dr. Manan offered a preamble, with an accompanying resolution, that a committee be appointed to consider some plan, in accord- ance with the constitution and canons of the General Conference, by which common coun- sel and unity of aetion might prevail among the dioceses proposed to be made, and report the same to the next diocesan convention. After some discussion, the resolation was adopted. Rey. J. E. Grammar, from the Committee upon the State cf the Ohurch, submitted a lengthy report, in which it was stated that the confirmations during the past year amounted to nearly 1,000, and that hopes are entertained that there will be a large increase in the fu- ture. The report wasaccepted and ordered to be printed in the journal. Rev. Dr. Nelson, from the committee ap- pointed at the last Convention, on Freedmen, reported in favor of educating the freedmen of of the Church, &s it was certain, he said, that they would have schools of some sort, and if Pastors did not see to it they would be brought under influences this Church could not sanc- tion.

Also, the committee on the Provincial system, as follows: Rev. Messrs. Maban, Pinkney ana Lewin, and Messrs. Evans, Perine and Chew. After the usual religious exercises, the Con- vention adjourned sine die.—Baltimore Com- mercial. THE WorKING PEOPLE.—The Uonnecticut Legislature recently reterred the eight-hour question to & committee. The majority of the committee, it is satd, have agreed to report a bill providing for the eight-hour system in all cases except where the employers and work- ‘Men make an agreement to the contrary. The minority of the committee. however, intend to Tepoft an eight-hour bill without this excep: tion, and the latter 1s said to meet with the fears: favor among the workingmen. The ew York plasterers, who some time ago reed tostrike this week for the eight-hour sete, on Tuesday, at a society meeting, re- considered their resolution. It was discussed for some time, and a letter from Springfield, Illinois, was read, which stated that the eight- hour system would subside at the West until fall, and that the men had generally con- s¢nted to work ten hours a day for an increase of pay. When the debate was over, the reso- Jution that the plasterers of New York strike Jor the eight-hour system was defeated by a very heavy vole, T' will probably infiu- ence the other New York trades not to strike tor the Rew system at the present time. In New York ‘new co-operative movements among working men are constantly an+ nounced, and these that are in operation ap- pear to be working successfully. ‘ TH MY.—A French ne ha: die tureagin ee? iu, 1853 consisted of spected him, but he could not sa; Mr. F. said New not ue to your exerci the Congeryative CONSERVATIVE MISSION ARIRG-TO AFRICA— Pious &fforts of Rev. Tom Fiovence and Kev. Charles Alien in the Missionary Fi }d.— Last Bight a meeung was heid at Island Hall, in purswance of the following call: “Mass Hreting of the Colored Voters of the Sev- enth Ward—A mass meeting of the colored yoters of the Seventh Ward will be held at island Hall on Friday evening, 3ist. The Meeting will be addressed by several well known Conservative citizens of the city and ward. The voters are invitedto come, hear, deliberate, and then form their own conclu- sions. By order of the execative committee.” The call excited some curiosity, and quite a Bumber of white Republicans were present. as well as white Coneervativee, but owing to some cause unexplained the colored people of qhe Seventh Ward, for whose benefit the mis- sionary effort was specially intended, did not appesr in any appreeiable numbers. Eariy in the evening a large four-horse om- Bibus, bearing the placards, «‘ Mass meeting of the colored yoters,” was started out witha good cornet band to drum up recruits, and it passed through Cowtown, Fredericksburg, and other localities, from which it was ex- pected & crowd would be drawn, but the col- ored voters did not fall in to the extent expected. About 8.15 the buss was driven Up 7th street,and by D street to the hall, the band playing ‘Wait tor the wagon,” and a bpumber ef persons of both sexes and colors, and allages below twenty, following it sing- ing. Perhaps fifteen colored persons were in this crowd, but they remained outside, with the exception of one, who peeped in the door, and not liking the complexion of things backed outinahorry. By half-past eight there were some fifty or sixty whites in the ball, who greeted the Sppeatance of three colored men with loud applause. At‘.45 the omnibus, with band, having been sent on another drumming-ap tour returned with quite anumber of persons following, and the parties in the hall beipg notified that the Meeting would be held outside, and the speak- ing take place from one of the windows the crowd gathered on the north side of the build- ing to the number of two hundred. There were on the outskirts of the crowd some 25 or 30 colored men, understood to be dissatisfied with some of the Republican nominations, while in another part of thecrowd were nearly the same number of colored Radicals, who came to ‘see the fun.” The first missionary who came forward to address the “heathen” was Rey. Chas. Allen. He said that the meeting was held for the pur- pose cf informing the colored men in regard to Conservative principles, and he expressed his Tegrets that more were not present, but this could be accounted for by the fact that ever since the meeting had been cailed the Radicals had been going round notifying colored people not toattend. He desired to address the col- ored men, and asked if they did not have minds of theirown. or were they going to submit themselves to be moved about like a wheel- barrew. They should hear both sides of the questions and decide for themselves. In this centest, are you going to stand by these you baye known for years, or will you be led by those people you do not know! How long have these pretended friends been in favor of suffrage. Mr. Boswell opposed it in the Phil- adelphia convention. They never thought of suffrage until they saw an opportunity to use them. Recently he overheard a conversation between some colored girls, cne of whom re- marked that she had been collecting for some benevolent object, and that Squire Boswell ave her +250, and another of the party said that he did so to get votes. This party adepis the motto, «The greatest good to the greatest number,’ but the greatest number to them is No.1. These men do not give employment to the colored people: most of them are migra- tery birds—squatters—here to-day and off to- morrow. They charge that all the rebels are with the Conservative party, which he denied, and said that of those from the District who served in the Union army during the war, they with but few exceptions were in the Con- servative ranks, Mr. J.L. N. Bowen, (colored) secretary ot the Seventh Ward Radical Club, came for- ward and asked Dr. A!lento explain the maan- ing of the word “Conservative.” and whether ibey were in favor of universal suffrage. Dr. Allen replied that those who consider wi and deliberate on the questions of tne day, who are pot changed about by every wind of doctrine. were Conservatives, and they beld that every man, white or black, who had the requisite qualifications had the righi to vote. They were law-abiding people and were not opposed to colored suffrage. At one of the Radical meetings ‘a speaker said that if any colored man voted the Conseryative ticket the city would be too hot forhim. The Con- servatiyes held that every man should vote as he pleases, and one thing he was sure of, and that was, that every colored man who votes the Conservative ticket will be respected and receive the support of the Conservatives throughout the city. He concluded by giving notice of the meeting to be held to-night. Alderman Thomas E. Lloyd followed, say- ing that although be was a candidate, he did not solicit votes, but had come to place the issues before ihe people. Every intelligent colored man knew that the hordes of contra- bands have no right to vote; that they have no interest here, having come to get refuge; and they were here in such numbers that they would drive off the old resident colored peo- ple. Much had been said of his remarke i2 the Board of Aldermen, and he had beea m represented, what he did say was that these people had no more interest here than the gorrila, and he was willing to let the old col- ored residents decide whether he was right or not. Had the election franchise been extended to colored citizens who have been with us and Taised among us, all good citizens would have Taired no objection. He objected to giving the right ef suffrage to the contraband on thesame gTounds that he would object to a parent giv- ing his child a dangerows weapon to play with. The question now is will the colored people take up these men professing to be their leaders but iow of whom were known, and a few years ago none of whom were in favor of suffrage. A Voice.—** Who got us the school tund '” Nobody got it. ‘Mr. A.G. Hall.” Mr. Lioyd.—No, sir. Why, there were but thirty-three votes cast in favor of suffrage, and now 300 claim to have so voted. No, these men never thought of suffrage until Congress gtanted it. Did his competitor, (Mr. Wheeler,) before the passage of the law, demonstrate in any of his meetings that the colored men should e suffrage? 0; itdidn’t pay then, but it pays now, and hence bis loud denunciation of the Democrats [Applause.} Rev. Tom. Florence was next introduced. and afier saying that he considered ita duty to speak, he remarked thatthe Radicals who now profeszed friendship for the colored men Were mostly strangers inthisecommunity. He would give Mr. Hall ‘the credit of being what he professed tobe, and he “ was able to give a reason for the faith wbich was in him,” Mr. H. had been consistent, at least, and he re- as much for the othere. As for thé sthool fani, it was given without the atd of the parties claiming tohave obtained it. (A voicte—“The Thirty-ninth gress gave it.”’}) No: don’t talk about that grees. It was passed before that came in. ‘Engiana had grown rich on the slave trade. and he again referred to the pretended friendship of the Radicals to the colored race, and claimed that the Gonserva- tives were their true friends.

He A Voice from the Yr. the disimbation of tickets, reported that the arrangements will be completed on Sunday next, for distribution of ticket. Dr. Boyd hoped the committee will see the Deceesity of promptness and caution fia their digtribution of ticketts. Dr. Boyd moved that the money be placed in the Bangs of Mr. Manning; subject to the order of the chairman of the eommitiee on te ratifi- cation meeting; agreed to. Mr. Wateon offered a resolution “Tha: all Republican candidates, and those elected in Georgetown, shall constitute a District Com- mittee on Appointments, to inquire into the loyalty of persons employed at the Govern- ment Printing Office, the Assessors ot Inter- mal Revenue, the City Post Offtce, the Smith- somian Inetitate, the Public Buildings aud Grounds, the Washington Aqueduct; and the result of such inquiry to the loyal press of the city at as early a d&yas convenient; and aleo-to report to Congress at its next session. And werequestevery ward club im the city to adopt this resolution.’ Mr. Wateon reviewed the resolution and gave bis reason for it. The Republicans in the District have been wronged, not by their enemies, because they have not the power, bat by their friends. He reviewed the various in- stitutions named in the resolution, and alleged that the Republicans have not received the ortion to which they are entitled. and re- Tred to the Quartermaster’s Department, and the conrt-house and court. The lack of heart in the a is the primary cause of much of this unfair distribation of tne benefits of these institutions, in which dis- loyal men hold places which should be occu- pied by Republicans. s Dr. Boyd moved the adoption of the re- solntion, and in a brief address endorsed the sentiments expressed by Mr. Watson, mnlarged upon the perfidity and mean- ness apparent in this metropolis. been recommended for a position in tha Treasury. Wher he went to apply for a position there it was whispered in his ear that it was worth $200. He replied if two hunared mills is to purchase the position he was the last man to getit. The ctor alluded to the probability that in sume piaces-the leading Position is held by compromise with copper heads, and expressed contempt for all such as make compromise with rebels for the sake ot position. and concluded with an appeal to the voters of the ward to begin on Monday and clean ont the city. Dr. Boyd said that the secretary of the club, Mr. Myers, was employed at the Long Bridge. 1t was smelled out that he was a Radical, and for that reason he was dismissed. The reso- lution was adopted. Mr. Dyson (colored) hoped that the colored men will, when they go to the polls, and have their tickets in their hands, if asked by a white man to let him see it, tell him to mind his own business, and it he insists upon it turn to an officerand have him arrested. The law re- quires the officer to do it, and rather than lose his $90 per month he will do justice. Rev. Mr. Bowen (colored) spoke of the con- servative meeting where he had been, and had asked several questions, which had not been satisfactorily answered, He spoke of Mr. Lloyd, whoa week or two ago regarded the colored race as gorillas and monkeys, as be- ing so tar reconstructed as to meet them as Fez omen, polite as a dancing master. Mr. loyd speaks of the right of old residents'to all theimmupities of citizens, but the contra- bands have come here, and to these he ob- jected. Mr. Bowen regarded such expressions 48 an insult fo all colored men. He condemned all who would yield to the advances of such men as Lloyd, Allen, and others, who have been so lately reconstructed; men who so lately regarded them as beasts and monkeys, and who now insult them by telling them that the resident colored man is entitled to the franchise, but contrabands are not. The colored citizens are all contraband’ The same act that freed the slaves of Virginia treed the old residents of this District, and they occupy the same position as freedmen, notwithstanding a portion came from YVir- ginia and other Souihern States. Dr. Boyd offered the fotlowink = Resolved, That the only true friends of the colored men are those who have worked for his emancipation, his equality before the law, and his fall and impartial entranchisement. Resolved, That no man who at any time de- nied the right to persons of color to testify against a rebel for aiding the rebellion can be afriend to them, no matter what his profes- sions may be. Adopted unanimously. Mr. M. T. Parker, nominee for Common Council. and others, was introduced, and ad- dressed the club briefly: after which, the meeting adjourned par Se REAL Estate SaLes.—OQooper & Latimer, auctioneers, made yesterday the following important sale of lots :—Smali frame house and loton 4th street east, between A and B north, to Nelson McNeal, for $1,210; lot adjoining, to tbe same purchaser, at 21% cents per square foot; frame dwelling on 13th street west, be- tween New York avenue and I street, to Al- b rt P.
