He had always en- eavored to secure for the colored man all the ts which should accompany entranchise- nt. Certain rights are still withheld, but he oped that ere long they would tind themselves ull possession of ail the privileges which be- » tree men. He said he did not know would do in the matter, but he ought ely that that body would, at it present session, pass a civil rights bill, and that if such a bill is defeated it will probably be because an extreme measure is urged by some person who claims to be a particular friend of the colored man Senator Weat then introduced the members ot | the delegation individually, and after hand shaking they withdrew.

Mr. Scofield, (Pa.,) from the Committee on Naval Affairs, reported bill authorizing the Secretary of the Navy toemploy 10,000 men in the navy. Mr. Archer (Md.) advocated the passage ot the bill, on the ground that the navy was not at present in condition to compete on the sea with other navies. Ile considered this the ini tiative step to putting the navy in a fighting condition. Messrs. Starkweather, Coburn, Kasson, and others spoke of the prospect of war, and advo- cated the giving of the Secretary of the Navy all that he asked in this matter. Mr. Beck referred to the fact that the nayr was ina self-supporting condition in 1360, and he desired to know how it happened that it now required so great an amount of appropriation. Wehad a grand navy, he said, in 1800, and he wanted to know what had become of it. Mr. Starkweather (Conn.) said we never had & grand navy. It was a magnificent and a fighting navy, but we never have had a grand navy, such as grand navies were considered in the governments of Europe. Mr. Kasson, (lowa,) in reply to Mr. Beck, suggested that since isco the government had expended a great amount of money in the con- struction of iron-clads. Mr. Spear (Pa.) acknowledged the able char- acter of the Navy, and advocated the bill. Mr. Hale (Me.) referred to the fact that he had for years made efforts to get, large appro- Friations for the navy, and had always met with opposition. He hoped this bill would teach the necessity of putting the navy in a roper condition. After further disenssion the bill was paased, with an endment of Mr. Garfield limiting the increase of force to Janu: 1875. Mr. Butler ( Mass.) submitted the report of the Committee on Revision ef the Laws of iast ses sion, and it was referred to the committee on that subject.

At that hour the convention reassembled, aud the committee on credentials, through their chair- man, Lewis H. Douglas*, submitted a list of duly elected delegates. During the reading of the list some excitement was occasioned by the scharge of a pistol in the pocket of a member, Ifrom which passed through the boot- legoft Mr. Sumner, but did noinjary. When the excitement abated the reading of the list was resumed, and at i's conclusion Mr. J. H Burch, of La., objected to its adoption, on the ground that Maryland had not been accorded a fair representation (ten delegates only being admitted): that partiality had been shown The full delegation of twenty should be admit- ted. In this action the commitiee are chas- tising the friends of the republican party and encouraging those who are its enemies, (refer- ring to Mr. Saunders.)

Mr. Melon moved that the name of John M Langeton be inserted instead. Mr. Langston said he could not allow his name to be used instead of tha’ ef Mr. Nesbit; he had known him long to be an earnest worker in the cause, and bad known him to sacrifice time and means toward the objects now sought to be attained. He is eminently worthy and desery Ing, and the convention would be honoring it self by qecting him.

Mr. Clark, of Ohio, moved that Mr. Lang- ame be placed first on the list of vice idents. ‘The chairman of the committee on organiza- tion explained why the name of Wm.

Mr. Brown, of Mass., got the floor, and de- tended Mr. Downing from the slight shown him in proposing to strike his name from the list as first vice president, and enumerated the many acts of his life in the cause of freedom. He war sorry an insult had been offered to New England by this act. A. M.%Green, of the District of Columbia, spoke in defence of George T. Downing, and advocated the adoption of the list of vice pres- idents as reported. Mr. Langston again declined to be in the way of Mr. Downing as first vice president, in a very neat speech. He withdrew his name in this con- nection, and counseled good order and harmony in the convention. — George T. Downing was then contirmed as first vice president. The committee to wait ou Gov.
