GRATZ BROWN. His Views in Relation to the Colored Vote. WOW TO PREVENT ANTAGONISM OF RACES, Measures Adopted by Missouri and Recom- mended by Her Governor to the Oon- sideration of the Nation. n Thursday evening, during his conference with the Hmraup reporter, Governor Brown was dis- turbed by the appearance of his physician, Theo- philus Steele, and the conversation was quietly ehanged in tenor by kindly inquiries in regard to ‘the health of the Vice President in prospective. Pursuant to subsequent arrangement the represen- tative of the HeRaLp again called upon the Goy- ernor yesterday, and after the usual courtesies were exchanged delivered himself as follows:—In our Previous conversation, Governor, I did not clearly understand you upon one point. You were, I believe, the original promulgator of the idea that ‘the safety of colored suffrage consisted in a division @f the colored vote. We, here at the North, cannot realize fully the force of your idea. Sitting back in his easy chair and dropping upon Bis knees the copy of the HeRaLp in which he had been reading the report of his previohs interview, ‘the Governor said:—“Well, I will endeavor to ex- Plain my views of the matter in question. Is it not evident that if the colored men of North Carolina, for instance, are intending to dwell in harmony with their white neighbors they can do 80 only by having common interests, common pursuits and by exercising acommon freedom in their political as well as social action? It is evident that if THE COLORED VOTERS BAND themselves together against the white popula- tion, intent upon regarding the whites as enemies, ‘the latter will soon, through that very action, be- come hostile, Thus the first step towards solidi- fying the colored vote makes for emancipation and suffrage apresent and permanent enemy at the homes of the freedmen. Itis quite certain that in ‘an issue between the races, which would then grow to be a duel, the mitlions of white men at the North would eventually sympathize with their own race ‘at tho South, and it may be that a public sentiment may be thus generated, national in its influence and Jeading to results, not now dreamed of, inimical to the welfare of the colored people, Again, it is evident that whenever the colored vote is arraigned. solidly against the white vote, with a policy comprehending the punishment, by disiranchisement or other means, of the white race, while the colored race grasps at ascendency, there ‘will occur a-confijct perilous even on the issue of a single election to the freedmen and their new-born right of suifrage. Now, do you not suppose that the colored men are far better satisfed with fhe three great unities of their deliver; ce—freedom, suffrage and protection—held wnder the guarantces of the constitution and resting there without hostile or threatening an- fagon ism from any quarter, than to peril them in interest of any radical campaigning? Such I know to be the feeling of the most INTELLIGENT COLORED MBN of my own section, and Ihave very reason to belicve it will prevail elsewhere. As I before re- marked, men arrive at arguments of self-preserva- tion instinctively, and no political sopoistry can divert them.” The representative of the HeraLp asked Gov- ernor Brown if he had seen much of the colored men of his own State. “Yes,” said the Governor, ‘‘a good deal. 1 do not obdtrade upon them or strive to direct thom in any , but many of them come to see me for cou- ul notice all of them as_ being deeply conscious that it becomes their race to fact wisely at the pens juncture if they would escape a great peril—perhaps all the perils of the futare. am too, as you are perhaps aware, the President of the Board of the Coiored College of the Btate of Missouri, one of the most Nourishing insti- of~the Western country, and one which re- ceived its annual endowment last year from a dem- cratic laa d My long identification with freedom in Missouri, my support of their suffrage in my own State and in the Senate, when every one of those now bold in their assumed leadership was voting bp a it, gives me a claim on thew conll- @ence. 1t would not gnable me, however, to CONTROL THHIR VorRa, though I do not quarrel! with that fact, for I love freedom for its own sake.” ‘The HERALD reporter pondered a moment and ‘then said, ‘‘It ts scarcely a fair question, Governor, but nevertheless one important in its bearing upon the question you are discussing, and I would like you give me such information as you possess in founed the present condition of tie colored men in ministration,” State of Missouri under your liberal ad- ‘The Governor, without hesitation, replied:—*I do not feel any rersonal delicacy in answering, for the [neon head that relates to my own State, In ri there was as much hostility of raccs, if not more, than in any other State, because the relations that had been sundered, those of houseliold and do- maoutic service, Were closer. There resulted from these onthe partof the former masters a sensi- tiveness at the action of the freedmen, heir late servants, who were often accused of ingratitude. Ku Klux was in vogue, outrages abounded, preachers were harried, and the labor of colored men was 80 seriously interfered with as wo iy Many of them to the cities. With the ad- ven! - THE LIBERAL POLICY gli this was changed as by a miracle. That which put the greatest bitterness in the cup, a sense tion on the part of 60,000 whites denied hts of human beings, was obliterated at one feliswoop. The feeling that the white degradation stood enforced by consolidated negro eu: in the State was entirely negatived by the fact that one half of the colored vote was cast for the liveral candidates, and the result was a most perfect bandon oi good feeling and good will among all classes who clasped hands on old issues, agreed to go into the future with new questions, as they ne and red since given the nao ra and party drill sergeants a considerable deal ot trouble to get them into any regular forma- ‘im answer to a > Nog from the HERALD repre- gentative as to whether or not Missouri was now t so far as the colored people were concerned, nor Brown said:—“Yes, perfectly quiet—in- eed, more than quiet. Our colored people now have not AN ENEMY IN THE STATE, ‘They have schools in almost ali the counties and many fine ones in the cities. They have interme- diate high schools, and, as I said before, a State University that would be a credit to any commu- ‘ity, and where I heard a few weeks since recita- tions, dialogues, declamations and music that were most creditable to all concerned.” In to the political rights of the colored people in Missouri the Governor, In answer to a. said :—"When | was ciccted we voted them into the State constitution by an almost unani- moore Since then no one has raised a voice in uri to question their suffrage. They aivide their vote as judgment dictates. Each party strives to get it, and each party respects it accord ingly. With us they bow scorn as much to be considere unit, or to be regarded as the slave of any party, or the property of any one organization, as would the ite men of Missouri. They have come to the PRIDE OF MANHOOD on that subject, and you cannot ocr them a deeper indignity than to cousider their vote as custom house goods.” The HERALD representative suggested that the Governor had virtually admitted money might in- fluence a certain class of colored voters, and alluding to the report current in the liberal republican-democratic circles asked about the $250,000 wald to have been gent into North Carolina by the administration. To all of which Governor Brown replied:—"'1 have no doubt that the administration has virtually stolen ‘that sum of moncy and sent it for the purpose in- dicated. But it Will be of uo ayail, sir, ‘The ear- potboaeers are up to that business and will go for it. They have their SPECIAL TRAINS TO WASITINGTON, me Ryd noil Sy rhage line.

Within the past few days the Republican Na- tional Executive Committee have established a suit of rooms at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and the gentlemen on duty will doubtless soon be flooded with applications in person, as well as by letter, for engagements to stump the country for General Grant. There are three rooms, Nog. 1, 2 and 3, all of which are of very modest dimensions, and as yet offer nothing unusually characteristic in their furniture. Per- haps in @ week or #0, however, all the avail- able corners will be crowded with heaps of campaign documents, while the floor will be littered ‘with abundant cigar butts and torn telegrams, the two most common distinguishing features of political committee rooms, Thc rooms have a pleasant out- look into the garden that fronts the hotel on its Twenty-third street side, and this will probably commend it to the freze army of bummers, who find in such haunts the most congenial of loafing grounds, The principal business now goin, forward is that connected with the Pittsburg Soldiers and Sailors’ Convention, aud this has taken chiefly a literary shape. The Secretary, Mr. L. E, Dudley, each morn- ing finds a tremendous pile of correspondenee on his table, and for the remainder of the day has his hands tull in sending the same courteous replies in different verbal shapes to these promises of support. Hard work, indeed, it must be to thus cudgei one’s brains to cast the same ideas and sentiments in mcessantly changing moulds. But, no doubt, he finds an abundant reward in the eerie tgtetigd of the project. There remains no doubt but that the Con- vention will be an immense success, and will at- tract the largest oe of “‘war-worn vete- raus” that we ve had since the close of the war. Among other notabilitics that have sent notice that they may be bs ty 1 to attend is that world-renowned eagle, “Old Abe,” which accompanied a Michigan regi- ment all throngh the war and occupied an lonored and conspicuous place upon the platiorm of the ig = Soldiers and Sailors’ Convention of 1860, very one who was present at that thering “must remember. distinctly how ie screamed and flapped his wings when the boys in blue, stirred by the eloquence ofthe orators, broke out into loud hurrahs, and with what frantic glee, to speak more particularly, he greeted the de- Mand of General butler that Jet?

It may interest his friends know further that he is now in extremely com- fortable circumstances, and that the State of which isan honored citizen has appropriated funds for his support and appointed a special keeper to at- tend to him.

It would have been more singular if five or ten years ago the democratic papers in the State had tailed to place the names of the regular democratic nominees at their masthead, The irrepressible Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota declines the Grant nomination for Congress and goes for Grecley.

He carried a black carpet bag in his hand, stuffed with clothes and paper, and wore his biack alpaca coat, broad- brimmed Greetev hat and white pants. He had been newly shaved, and looked as FRESH AND CLEAN after his laborious rest as if he had just come out of a milk bath, “He looks good cnough to eat,” raid an enthusi- astic admirer, “I'd like a slice o’ him on toast.”” ‘The old gentleman on leaving the Tribune office went down Naseau street to Pine, where he had some private business to attend to, and thence rode in the street cars to the Lincoln Club, NE OLD MERCHANT RLEMENT below Fulton strect had a good view of the Sage for the first time since his nomination, and they left customers waiting for them to go out to the front and see him, One old resident remarked, “1 had a good viow of him, and I wouldn’t have missed seeing him for a great deal.

Gratz Brown, Augustus eheil and ex-Governor Randolph, of New Jersey. A MYSTERIOUS INDIVIDUAL, long and lank, with thick, stubby beard, elegantly dressed, but with a look of deep mystery about him, came into the restaurant of the Glenham Hote! during the day and sent word into the head- quarters that he would like to see the Secretary. Colonel J. P. Johnson being absent, Major Staples waited upon him, The mysterious individual announced — that he wanted to see Mr. Grecley; that he did not dare present himself at headquarters, for he feared some one would know him, and the papers would get hold of it, but that he would like to know Mr. Greeicy’s whereabouts and he would venture to hunt him up. Be! told that Mr. Greeley was at the Lincoin Ciub, he mufied his face with his hands, by caressing his whiskers, and went around there, Mr. Grecley met hii, and te two ascended to @ private room, where they were closeted for some time. Finally the stranger took his leave and went down Broadway, Whether it was a diabolical plot of assassination or @ playful freak of a crazy genius the reporter knoweth not, GOVERNOR BROWN was at the Glenham Headqnarters at about half- ast three o'clock in conversation with Jolonel] Johnson on_ private details of the canvass, when Mr. Greeley's secretary came in with “Mr. Greeley’s complunents and he would like to see the Governor round at the club rooms.” ‘Thereupon the Governor and the Colonel entered the Governor's carriage and drove Mr. Greeiey received them cordially, ana goon yas in close confidential conference is Gratz.” fy iy cw © fow minutes of five is sapegibicelp clgr ui, ACURLL AND GOVPRNOR RANDOLTH entered and were shown up stairs, where Mr, Gree- ley joined them.

Every day is bringing a fresh bateh of arrivals, and they anticipate a fall house before the 1st of August.

At the Comptrolier’s office yesterday there was ® large body of “pipe men’ outside the door. They were accompanied by thetr foreman, Mr, J, Me- Cuskey, who applied to the Comptroller for the immediate payment of the six weeks’ pay due to the men. The Comptroller in rej stated that he was strongly under the impression that the Department of Public Works Was not authorized to crnplo the men by the day, and that the work should be let on contract. This, however, was no concern of the men, and they | should not be compelled to suffer. He gave instruc- tions, therefore, to Mr. Moor Falls, the paymaster, to pay the men, and up toa late hour in the after- noon the men were being paid. FATAL RESULT OF SKYLAREING. Giving a False Certificate. On Wednesday last Edward Dougherty, @ man forty years of age, and born in Ireland, died at 68 Crosby street, and Dr. Cook, one of the attending physicians, gave a certificate, which, however, was not accepted by the Board of Health, and Coroner Keenan was notified to hold an inquest.

Four hundred and filteen Jots are stated to have been Misposed of for an agarcgate of $44,570, being a trifle over $107 per lot. The sale of the property of the Staten Island Raiiroad Company, including its franchise, real ea- | tate, rolling stock and ferrybouts, is announced to come off bext month.
