SHERIDAN, SICKLES AND MANCOCK. The serenade last evening to Gens. Sheri- ian, Sickles and Hancock was one of the grandest alfsirs ever witnessed inthis city. it having been Announced that the Grand Army the Republic, with Heald’s American Bgass Sand, would tender a serenade to those of- fieers, an immense crowd assembled in front et Willard’s Hotel early in the evening, and by Dalf-past nine o’clock at least six thousand persons were in front of the building. Over he portico was the word “ Union” in gas jets, which iNumipated the entire front, and pre- sented a beautiful appearance. The national colors were also displayed. At nine o'clock the public, Posts Nos. 1 and2. with the Soldiers’ And Sailors’ Union, assembled at their hall, on 9th street, and preceded by Heald’s Band, marched io Wiliard’s. The colored Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Union also jomed in tne proces- sion, and were preceded by martial music. On the march to Willard’s a large number of persons joined the procession, and upon their urrival the crowd in front of the hotel ex- tended across the avenue. After aeverai pieces of music by the band, Gen. Sheridan appeared on the balcony, and was greeted with cheer atter cheer. Order being re- stored— Col. N. P. Ohipman said: Commabgs: Nearly six years ago, at the little village of Rolla, Missouri, then a post for United States seldiers, 1 first Captain Phil. Sheridan, in the van of that tittle army which subsequently, under the command of General Curtis, secured Missouri against rebel patien. Captain Sheridan was sent to Corinth, where his qualities as a cavalry leader became apparent. He was put inactive service and rapidly rose inrank. You knew how the cheers rung trom the Atlantic to the Pacific tor gallant Phil. Sheridan. (Chee: The seinted Lincoln, who regarded him almo: as his own son, covered him with bright mili- tary bonors, and none could say he did not deserve them. Bat peace had brighter honors than these in store for him. Need I tell you why he ishere! He came from New Orleans ss from Lee's cehorts. With hearts full of thanks to you, General Sheridan. for your gallant services, we extend to you a hearty ‘welcome to-night. Again cheers were given for General Sheri- dan and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Miss Emma McSperin, a little girl 12 years of rand Army of the Re- | age, here stepped forward and presented the | General with a hanasome boquet. General Sheridan then addressed the crowd as follows: SPEECH OF G2NERAL SHERIDAN. Guytiemey: I sincerely thank you for this very earnest welcome. I shall always recollect the oceurrences of this night. The thought will ever give me a great deal of ples- sure and pride. 1 feel that you have greatly honored me: and fam especially honored, as. @ large portion of this assemblage is composed of gallant officers and soldiers of the army. I return yon my thanks. [Cheers.] Alter the Star Spangle Banner bad been per- formed by the band, toree more cheers were given for Gen. Sheridan, and the crowd pro- ceeded to tne Ebbitt House to serenade Gen. Sickles. The balcony of the Ebpitt Honse was handsomely decorated with Chinese lanterns, and abovethem waved the National color the front of the balcony was also dressea wit! a large fag. Afier music by the band, Gen. Sickles a) peared and was greeted with cheers. Col. Chip- man introduced Col. Farmsworth, of 111, who said: Soldiers and Citizens: My first acquaintance With the gallant soldier who now stands before you was in the House of Representatives— where he was 4 Democrat, and I a Repad- iican. But he was a Union man, and placed his country before bis party At ail times he ‘was on the side of the Union. [Applause.] In the winter of 1861, when treason was heard in the balls of Gongress, I well remember the rebuke General Sickles administered to the leaders of the secession movement when they threatened to commence the war in Charleston; he said that the war would end in Charleston, with Uba-ieston in ruing Congress in if61, and at once commenced using his influence to excite more patriotic feelings among his constituents. When the war co: menced he raised in New York five regiments of troops, whu subsequently proved excellent soldiers im the field. Where the fight razed the hottest, there was Sickles. [Cheers.] At Gettysburg he met the shock of battle, and left one of his limbs upon the field. Three months afterwards he returned to Wash- ington, swith his mutilated stump yet un- healed, and tendered his services, and asked to be placed at the head of his corps. Not being able to enter the field, Mr. Lincoln sent him on a special tour to the Southy to visit the military departments and Southern Governors—Johnscn among others. {Laughter.) His duties completed, he was next-sent 10 South America on a mission by Mr. Lincoln. He pertormed that well, and, in 1505, was sent to Obarleston to command that department. From that time up to bis retarn to Washington he wasin command of the De- partment of South Carolina. He went there when cffairs were in chaos; when no human man, white or black, was safe. He put in practice whut has since been secured to the black man—the reconstruction bills. Slavery, like an old cancer, was rooted in South Caro- lina, and it bad to be cutontand every root cauterized. By bis administration he cared this, and made, as Governor Urr says, military government efficient but notsevere. He has secured rights to all, atcended to the material prosperity of the citizens of the State, secured fo the proprietors of the soil what they could not gain before by practical free labor. [A voice—“Order No. 10.) Yes, Order No. li: that.secured to every poor man the money that would have been taken for lawyers’ fees for the support of his family. The reconstruction jaw bas been fearlessly administered. He completed the registration, and leaves uothing for bis successor to do but to see that a fair election is heid according to the number regis- tered. [Cheers. General Sickles, the soldiers, sailors, and citizens of Washington greet you, and I take Pleasure in presenting you to this assembiage. (Oheers.] Gen. Sickles then appeared at the front of the balcony and cheer after cheer was given for tim. Order being again restored, (zeneral Sickles said: ADDRESS OB GENERAL SICKLES. General Farnsworth, I thank you aud my old comrades who are present for this wel- come. 1am glad to meet you all here to-night. Among the interesting Matters which now engage attention there are several topics which Imay, without disadvantage to any pablic choose for remark to-night. {Ap- plause.| The military governmentsestablished by Congress bave been assailed as unconstitu- ‘eppressive, and useless. Without to enter now upon a large field of discussion, it Is due to the country and to his- tory, apart from sll personal considerations, that the Government should be vindicated from accusations so anfounded and so inju- rious. {Applanse. ‘fhe authority of Congress to provide for the security of persons and property in conquered territory amtil legal civil governments couid be established, is distinctly recognized by the Supreme Uourt of the United States. In the New Mexico case the Supreme Court decided ‘that the military occupation of the territory of an enemy suepended ail civil government ex- isting there, and furt! oi dipanees, and regulations made by the mili- tary commander remained in force until sus- pended by Congressor by a local civil gove: meptcreated by the authority of Congress. A voice—“*You're right.”] It may be t fore maintained that in the reconstructio Congress bas exercised no powers not toned by the highest legal tribunal in t id, tan And so fsr from miltary authority having deen exercived oppressively or crueily in the rebel States. the testimony voluntarily borue by representacive meuy of those States proves that the recensiruction acts havebeen executed with moderation and forbearance. Applause.) If itbe trae that military commanders have deen Jaw givers, it is also trae that their codes bave been milder and more humane than the laws they superseded. (Applause.] Impris- cowent for debt has beeu abolished; the death penalty, beretofore imposed for larceny has been confined to cases of homicide and offences of the sme gra the sem!-barbarians. yet legalized custom of whipping men and women for misdemeanors has been prohibited. [Great appisuse.) And when famine threatened r} sarve (bose Jeft by & conscription whic! “robbed the cradle and the grave,” military authority was exercised to secure the home of tbe widow and the orphan from relentless crediors, snd toenablean utterly bankrupt populaton to cultivate land enough to obtain the necessaries of life [A Votee—“Yon done Tight. cruel lf these scis are oppressive am n let condemnation tail on the Go and i" Acents, who have vainly tried en their adversaries with magnan mity and ben: velence.

(Lond appiauge.], Aad it as been recently affirmed by authority, than which none can be higher in all the South, thet our presence and our measures have caved their public records from destruction, and their own civil officers from Iawless vio- lence. [A voice—“Why didn't they let you aione!”] Nay more; it is acknowledged that to the considerate acts of military adm: ton they areindebted for the opportunity of Providing means:to subsist their families [ap- plause) and tor producing the present crop, Which promises to be, in many respects and in many sections of the South, the most im- portant and the largest which has been grown for many years.

Pi My conduct which have been made by high official personages. (Shame!) 1 trast the oc- casion and the opportunity will, at the proper time,be afforded to me to place the vindication of my reputation on the records of my Goy- ernment. Until then, upon all maiters con- cerning myself, I choose fo be silent. Before saying good night, let me make a con- cluding remark upon the topic which has al- ready been my theme. Without the recone ‘ruction acts, and the temporary presence and control of military authority in the rebel States to execute them, it would nave been impossible to enfrancbise the loyal. freedmen and secure to them that participation in the Government, under which they must continue to live. that is essential to the preservation of their liberty. and vital to the pacification of the Soath. Enfranchisement is peace. | Loud applause.} Liberty without rights and the means to defend them is war. [Applauee.] The only condition upon which military oc- cupation may cease in the rebel States is to rive ballot to every loyal man in the rebel States, no matter what his color or race, so that he may vote down treason by whomso- ever proposed. (Immense applause.) With that sbield of safety they will be secure from oppression, and the country protected from sedition and treason. [Applause.] The events of the rebellion tanght us that the entranchisement of all the loyal people of the rebel States was an essential guarantee of present and future eecurity and repose; and that, unless the freed people were enabled to protect themselves by the ballct, they would baye been compelled in self-defence to seek refuge in the loyal States and evercrowd all the channels of industry; or else, to prevent that exodus of millions of blacks flying from oppression, the Government woald have been compelied to protect them at home by pro- Jonging military occupation until the rebel State governments yoluntarily afforded ade- juaie security to the lives and possessions of he loyal colored people. And it remains to be said that the military officers on duty in the revel States were sent there by the auiho- rity of Congress, and with the sanction of the loyal people who put down the rebellion, ex- pressed through their representatives. Comrades! It is impossible to undo that noble act of justice which has elevated the loyal freedmén of the South to the rank of citizens. (Prolonged applause.} point of view, which is a military and not a political point of view, there ie no reason to apprehend that a subordinate race can do more than defend their rights. A law of gravitation controls the moral as i does the material world. The weak cannot overcome the strong. Numbers, cnliure, destiay, com- ime to ussure the domination of the white rece. It was Mr. Fox, 1 believe, who called a | Teaction the most dangerous form of a revolu- | tion Such would be the character of a rese- ton that restored the rebals and their friends to power. [Applause and cheers ] May*that day never, bever dawn. [Applause and cries of Never,” “never,” mingled with cheers.) After repeated cheers for General Sickles the crowd proceeded to the Metropolitan Hotel for tbe purpose of serenading (Jeneral Hancock. The proprietors cf the Metropolitan, Messrs, Potts and Shelly, not having received notice of the serenade until a late hour, had not time to make any decorations, but upon the appear- ance of the crowd they soon had out a large flag, the ohandeliers in the front parlors light- ed, ‘and torches on the balcony. The band having performed several airs, calla were made for General Hancock, when that officer | appeared and was greeted with cbeers. ‘Colonel Chipman introduced General _Han- cock, saying:-—The mantle of General Sheri- dan could not nave fallen on a becter man than General Hancock; General Hancock then stepped forward and said: SYPRECH OF GENERAL HANCOCK. In going to a hew field of duty, it is a matter of pleasure and relief to know thit I carry ‘with me the sympathies, the good wishes, and confidence of my old companions in arms, (Cheers.) I baye therefore to taank you, sol- diers, for this ovation which will tend to lighten tha burdens of care which may follow mein the performance of the ardurous and delicate dutivs of a District. Commander in the Southern States at this time. Upon the conclusion of General Hancock's speech, the crowd, after repeated cheers, dis- persed. A number of gentlemen visited Gen. H. in bis parlor, where they were handsomely entertained by him Among those present were Geners1 Egan, Gens. King and Mitchell, Col. 1B. Parker, formerly of General Han- cock’s staff: Hon. Amasa Cobb, ot Wisconsin; ol. Robert Morrow, and others. The ovation to these gallant officers was ons which reflects credit upsn the city. In the immense crowd which congregated in front of the hotels the greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and cheer nfter cheer was given for “Sner- idan,” “Sickles” and “ Hancock.” fle a di Tux Buitpgrs ExcHanGe—Another Fail- ure.—A meeting of this new association was to baye been held last night, near the corner of sth and E streets, for the purpose of com- pleting the organization. The fact was duly announced by advertisement in the papers of Saturday and Monday. and a full attendance was solicited. A: & o'clock, the hour desig. nated for the commencement of proceedin: five gentlemen were in attendance, and thi number was increased to six during the suc- ceeding half hour. The chairman, Mr. S. D. Osstleman, viewing the prospect as rather gloomy, then put the question :—« Well, gen- tlemen. what do you propose to do!” In re- ply to this a mild suggestion was made from tbe floor as to the propriety of going heme. Many had promised to attend, and as the weather was fine, their absence was looked upon as unaccountable, to say the least of it. Sul, under the circumstances, it would be im- poseble to proceed. and the only question that preented ftself was whether they would ad- Journ sine die or make one more attempt to or- gapize the association. The latter course was finally agreed upon, and the chairman was diresied to calla meeting for Monday night bext by advertising in the newspapers as be- fore. Unless the gentlemen engaged in this movement manifest an interest in its success by their presence at that time, the Builders’ Exchange will doubtless be consigned to an early grave.

In- n was given to detectives McDevitt and Coomes, and they nailed two quite neat looking young men, who gave the names of Jonn Jones snd John Bennett, who were locked up at headquarters. This morning they had a bearing before Justice Walker, when both of the above named gentlemen ap- peared and testified to the loss, and also to the fact that the watches were twisted from the rings. and the former to the fact that Jones was near bim, and passed a remark with him. Mr. McDevitt testified that he knew Jones be a thief, who proposed to pay him if he vould allow him to work the crowd. and had Teason to believe that he was a fugitive from justice.

The injuries done to M: ton are quite severe, though her p considers them by no means dangerous.

B. Colby, the Register. Mr. B.F. Rittenbouse called the meeting to order, and Hon. John A. Graham was called tothe Chair, with Mr. ©. W. Spear as Secre- tary. A committee composed of Rey. Jabez Fox, Prof. Jobn Lowry, and Mr. Ohas, Neale, re- orted resolutions that the deceased as a pub- ic officer, citizen and gentleman was entitled to the respect and esteem of all men for his un- doubted integrity, exalted patriotism, able, faithful and diligent discharge of official du- tee, and uniformly kind and courteous deport- ment. That in his death they mourn not the loss only of an upright and efficient oflicer, but a personal friend, who had endeared him- self to them by bis kindness of heart, thonght ful care tor their good, as well as by the ame. nity of his manners. They tender their sy pathies to the family and direct a copy to be sent to the family and published. Maj D.R.B. Nevin seconded the resolntions, speaking warmly of the many kind and noble traits of the deceased, and they were adopted. pe Tue Istanp Bartist Caurca.—This con- gregation, incharge ot Rey. C. 0. Meador, is about making some extensive improvements on the site of the old frame church by erecting a fine brick edifice somewhat on the Gothic order of architecture. The new edifice will be commenced immediately and will be 43 feet inwidth and S2in depth, incinding vestry room and furnished with gallerles—costing abont $15,000. The corner stone of the new edifice will be laid by the Masonic order on Monday afternoon next. The old building bas been removed tothe back of the lot by Mr. J. T. Stockbridge, who accomplished the work ‘without cracking the plastering or otherwise damaging it and it will be used for the Sun- y school and lecture purposes. Ten years ago the church numbered but 24 persons and now numbers 230, nearly three-fourths have anited with the church within the last twelve months. The congregatuon and Sunday School bave increased proportionately. ——_.+—_—_. CHALLENGE To FicuT A Dugt.—This morn- ing, two parties who, for some time, had been antagonistic towards each other, met at the Kirkwood House—James Lester and Henry Cornwell—and words were exchanged be- tween them, the latter calling the former by abusive names, whereupon he was strack in the face by the former, and the affair resulted in Cornwell challenging Lester to fight a duel. The challenge was accepted, Lester pro- curing as his second Washington Naylor, and Biaaensborg designated as the place ‘where the duel should come off, thisatternoon, if full arrangements coald pe made. But Cornwell’s efforts to procure 8 second has not been reported as successful, so the matter has heen deferred. It is stated that the difficulty originated from some misunderstanding about the expenses of a trip taken together to New York. — oo THEOAPITOL EXTENSION.—To-morrow at- ternoon, should the weather be favorable, the last of the 100 columns to complete the portt- coes of the extension will be set in place by the contractors for the marble work, Messra.

Ws Vi Editor Star: The pabdlication in an evening paper yesterdny, copied into the National In- telkigencer of this morntng, of a repotied det ciency of between $12,000 and $13,000 in accounts of Hon. U. D. Welch, late Collector of Taxes hére, and now Mayor of George- town, has cause great pain to his many pr- sonal friends, who believe the in vestigation now in progress, glthougn it may show that his books have not been kept with that care and exactness which would Dave been the case tf he had had more experience as an accountant, yet will prove that he bas not misarplied or used for bis own purposes one dolfar of the People’s money, but tbat the amonot of the alleged deficit never came into his nands, bi- ing taxes stil unpaid. Mr. Welch's ante. ecdents and. personal hebdits afford grounds for this belief. Mr. J. W. Deebie, Secretary ofthe Potomac Insurarce Company, who is an experienced accountant, ts making the in- vestigation of the books and papers, and the result willeoon be known. The pubiication is unfair in assuming that there isa real de- ficit, instead of an apparent one. Mayor Weich’s friends do not ‘ssert, as stated, that ‘there has been no misappropriation of the funds,” batelaim thatthere were no funds to misappropriate, that the seeming deficiency arives only from errors in the beoks extending back for a period ef several years. This is what they expect to prove by the investigation now in progress, which may not be concluded for some anys. In the meantime. even those opposed to Mr. Welch politically, do not charge him with dishonesty, but are willing to witit for an official report. A _CITIREN WHO DID NOT VOTER FOR Mr. WELcu. PoLice Businees.—Six arrests were made by the police yesterday; two for fightiag. In the street, two for intoxication, one for a vio- lation of & corporation ordinance, and one for street img.

Fannie Warren was yesterday arrested by officer Ropey and taken to the station house where she was placed in the --lock up,” and inspired by s goodly draught ef forty-rod whiskey” she sang her accustomed dities, much to the amusement of the police and to the annoyance of some others, until overcome by exhaustion she eank to the floor, found the soft of an oak plank, and thereon had a length: After sleeping off the mfluence of that «liqur fire’ she was brought ont before Justice Buck- ey who find her !n the sum of #2.50 for intox- ication and disorderly conduct, but she not baving the stamps wherewith to pay the amount, the Justice sent her on @ visit to Su- perintendent Stephens of the work honse. A CHANGE.—The steamer Philadelphia, Captain Fults, that has been plying between George’own and Philadelphia, has been with- drawn frem the regular line of steamers be- tween these two points, and the steamer Geo. H. Stout has been substituted in her place, acd the former vessel bas been placed between Philadelphia and New York. CaueuT.—Fort some time past the police have been unusnally vigilant in bringing be- fore the magistrate all persons doing business inthe town without a license, and thus tne Corporation funds have been frequently in- creased by repeated fines of $20.50. Yesterday afterncon, officer Warwick Sirested a man named Edward O’Conror, charged with sell- ing liquor by sample without a license. The | charge was sustained, and he was fined $20.50 by Justice Buckey, Business REsuMED.— Elsewhere in the STAR. will be found the advertisement of oar tellow- citizen, Mr. Geo. W. Beall, who has resumed his business of merchant tailor, on Bridge s'reet, nearly opposite the Bank of Commerce. Those who like to wear choice goods, cut and made in the most fashionable styles, should visit his new establishment and inspect his stock. Not A TEMPERANCE Man.—Officer Haney, at 12 o'clock last night, brought to the station- house 4 colored man, named Henry Worthing- ton, who was the worse for liquor. He was put in the cell, where he had a good sleep, and was this morning allowed to go on his way rejoicing. THE CANAL.—The water in the canal remains low, and in consequence the water, tor two hours, was shut off trom the mills, as it was yesterday. Sixteen boats have come down the canal since our last report, with coal and other cargoes; while twenty-nine coats have gone out, all light but four. Snpermtendent J. R. Mares, who for some time past bas been sick of fever, was out to-day, giving directions as to the management of the canal.

ACCIDENT.—A colored man pamed Grandi- son Flora, in the employ of Mr. Ray, while shoveling coal was yesterday struck by atub containing coal, the chain having broken, and was severely hurt. He was removed to his residence, on E street, between 19th and 2th, in the First Ward.
