The line of march was taken up shortly after nine o’ctock, and the procession having reached the Chronicle office, it was Ralted and cheers given for Mr. Bowen, Mr. Forney, the Chronicle, Grant and Colfax, Gen. R. D. Mussey, and others. The front of the building was ‘handsomely ‘lluminated, the Word “Union,” surrounded by a star in gas jets, being conspicuous. Col. Forney was introduced by Gen. R. D. Mussey, and addressed the aseembiage, in the course of his remarks saying that the reception ‘Was different from that which honored him the might vefore.
