The monotony of the proceedings In the star Toute trial were varied yesterday after THE STAR report closed by a singular scene. As stated in ‘Tue Stan, H. Clay England, the lawyer, who created a sensation in the morning by attempting to gain admittance to the court room in a nake@ condition, returned to the court room a little be- fore three o’clock. He was then dressed, and ap- eared quiet, though his presence caused much anxiety among the bailiffs, He took a seat by Mr. Wilson, who was addressing the jury, and kept his eyes fixed earnestly on that gentieman’s face. About half-past three he emitted some discordant groans, and fell back in his chair in a sort of stu- por. Mr. Wilson stopped speaking, and two bailiffs took hold of the objectionable visitor.

Hall for the purpose of protesting against the call issued by tue committee of which Fred. Douglass is chairman for a colored national convention, to be held in this city in September next. There were about fifty persons present. An organization was effected by the election fof E. B. Welborn, of Mis- sissipp!, chairman; W. K. Price, of North Caro- Una, secretary, and L, M. Brown, of Tennessee, assistant secretary. A committee of one from each state and territory represented at the meet- ing was appointed as follows to draft suitable resolutions: C. C.- Caldwell, Miss, chairman; J. W. Curtis, Ala.; R.T. Greener, 8. 0.; L. M. Brown, Tenn.; B'S. Waring, Ohto; R. 8. Smith, Fla; J. W. Coles, Va.; ‘T. L. Upshur, Ga.; R. P. Rundsipb Il; A. Freeman, Ind.; J. W. Mayse, N.J.; J. Camper, N. C.; J. H. A. Shearman, D. ADDRESSES OF PROF. GREENER AND OTHERS. Before the committee returned Prof. Greener, who had called the meeting to order, was asked to make an address, and in the course of a brief speech he expressed his opposition to a colored convention, called as this one,had been. He satd that it showed a lack of good sense on the part of some entlemen to use the names of others without the'r owledge to foree themselves into public noto- riety. He was not opposed to a conference of gen- tlemen who have suffered in the south for the cause of the party and the race, but was opposed to a convention under the ausplces of those who stood aloof Wien tie struggle of 1875-76 was i Progress. Speeches were also made by Theodore H. Green, of Mississippl, A. P. Watson, of Alabama, and Geo. M. Arnold. RESOLUTIONS REPUDIATING THE DOUGLASS CALL. The committee reported a set of resolutions which repudiated the Douglass call, advised the colored people not to send delegates, and recom- mended that the committee correspond with the leading men in the several states as to the ad- Visablilty of holding a national convention of col- ored people. The yesolutions were adopted. ——.—_—. ‘The Worthicss Note Swindle. LETTERS FROM GEO. W. BALLOCH, OF THIS CITY, CAPTURED. Two letters from Geo. W.
