A picket boat discovered ‘the parties, who wore engaged in the work with boats and muffied oars. The picket boat gave chase, but the Fenian boats disappeared mysteriously. It is supposed ‘that they made several trips before they were discoy- ered, and stole away large quantities of arms. Some parties were arrested on the schooner, but subsequently released. Major General Meade arnved this forenoon. Collector ‘Long had an interview with him, after which the Fenian gehooner Pray was brought to the wharf and unloaded of sthe arms, which were conveyed to Fort Sullivan.

McNamee, the reputed Fenian head contre, testified that four years ago he bad been sent to New York to invite Mr, O'Mahony to lecture to the St, Patrick's Bociety of Montreal. Mr, O'Mahony declined to come, He (McNameo) did not know then that Mr. O'Mahony ‘was forming the Fenian Brothethood; considered that Ireland had grievances which should be redressed in geome way; Irish Cauadian Catholics had little to com- of. McNamee's evidence greatly dissatiafied the counsel. His loyaity has been for a long time bo yay and it Is believed he mighi old more if Alexander Hunter, a telegraph operator, testified wthat he bad interproted a cipher mosiage sent from New York to Toronto.

The colored people of Washington city and vicinity had been preparing for several weeks past to celebrate the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, which occurred on Monday last, but were prevented at that time by the inclemency of the weather from making the popular demonstration of a mass mect- ing and mammoth procession, The affair was postponed until to-day, Yesterday and last night gave little pro- mise of a fair morrow; but the clouds cleared away early this morning, and the sun shone out with unusual bril- Mancy. The sable sons and daughters of the capital were early astir, and Franklin square was the centre of attrac- tion. Three commodious stands were erected to accom- modate the expected crowd with public speakers. The Principal one, on the south side of the square, was calculated to seat about one hundred persons, and was covered and tastefully draped and decorated with nation- al flags and banners. The different delegations and or- ganizations commenced arriving soon after nino o'clock, under their respective marshals, and took up the posi- tions assigned them at the intersections of streets on the Une of march. Soon after eleven o'clock the whole was fairly in motion. The occasion and the pleasant day conspired to draw out the entire colored population of the city. The streets were crowded with eager, hurry- ing, happy faces of evcry conceivable shade between a delicate saddle color and a jetty black, dressed in all the various and fantastic garbs that the means or the inclinations of the wearers permitted. A few were quietly and elegantly dressed, more showily and tawdrily, @ majority in a manner to betray themselves unaccus- tomed to good clothes, and a few in the rags of indigence and unmistakable aspect of recent bondage. But free- dom for once levelled all social distinctions among the colored gentry, and the plantation darkey and the city bred sbade jostled each other good-naturedly and con- versed amicably. Tho military were represented in pro- ceasion by two or three regiments, the Ould Fellows and Free Masons by several lodges each, and the Knights Templars by ove commandery. The good Samaritans, Galileans, Union Aid Societies, Union Leagues and the different wards of the city were represented by orzani- zations and delegations, many of them with bands of music. The procession baited in front of the Exccutive mansion, making a dense mass of colored faces, relieved here and there by a few white onos, After the firing of cannon and the playing of several martial airs, three choers were gtven for the President of the United States, who, having been escorted toa Prominent position by United States Marshal Gooding and his private secretary, Colonel Wm. G. More, addressed the assemblage az follows :— THE PRESIDENT's BrErCH. Mr Cotonsp Farexvs—I have nothing more to say to you on this oceasion than to thank you for this compli- ment you havé paid in presenting yourselves before ma on this, your day of celebration. I como forward for the Purpose of indicating my approbation, and manifesting my appreciation of the respect thus offered or conferred. I thank you for the compliment, and I mean what I say, and I will remark in this connection that the time will come, and that, too, befors # great while, when the co- colored population of the United tates will find out who have selectod them as a hobby and a pretence by which they can be successful in obtaining and maintaining power, and who have been their truest fnends and wanted them to participate in and enjoy the blessings of freedom. The time will come when it will be made known who con- tributed as much as any other man, and who, without being considered egotistical, I may say contributed more, in procuring the great national guarantee of the abolition of slavery, in all the States, by the ratification of the amendment to the constitution of the United States, giv- ing national guarantee that slavery shall no longer be Permitted to exist, or be re-established in any State or ju- risdiction of the United States, I know how easy it 1s to cater to prejudice, and how easy it is to excite feelings of prejudice and ankindnoss, Icare not for that, I have been engaged in this work, in which my all has been periled. Iwas not engaged in it asa hobby, nor did I ride the colored men for the sake of gaining power. What I did was for the purpose of establishing the great principle of freedo:n; and, thank God, I feel and know it to be so, that my efforts have contributed as much, if not more, in accomplishing this great national guarantee, than those of any other living man tm the United States. (Enthusiastic applause). It is very easy for colored men to have pretended friends ensconced in high places, and far removed from danger, whose eyes have only abstractediy gazed on free- dom, who have never exposed their limbs or property, and who never contributed a sixpence in fur- therance of the great cause, while another periled his all and everything sacred and dear to man; and those whom he raised and who lived with him now enjoy his property with his consent and receive his aid and assistance. Yet some assume to be, and others who have done nothing are considered, the great defenders and pro- tectors of the colored man. I repeat, my colored friends, here to-day, the time will como, ond that not far dis- tant, when it will be proved who is practically your best friend. My friendship, as far as it has gone, has not been for place or power, for I had thesealready. It has been @ principle with me, and I thank God the great Principle has been established, that whenever any ind!- vidual, in the language of a distinguished orator, treads American soil, “his soul swells within him in apprecia- tion of the great truth that he stands forth redeemed, re- generated and disenthrailed by the genius of universal emancipation.” (Applause.) Then let me mingle with you in celebration of the day which commenced your freedom. I do it insinconty and truth, and trust in God the blessings which have been conferred may be enjoyed ‘and appreciated by you, and that you may give them a Proper direction. There is something for all to do, You have high and solemn duties to perform, and you ought to remember that freedom is nots mere idea. It must ‘be reduced to practical reality. Men in being free ought to deny themselves many things which seem to be em- Draced in the ides of universal freedom. It is with you to give evidence to the world and to the people of the United States whether you are going to appreciate this great boon as it should be, and that you are worthy of being freemen. Then let me thank you with sincerity for the compliment you have paid me by passing through here to-day and paying your respects to me. I repeat, again, the time will come when you will know who have been your best friends, and who have been your friends from mercenary considerations, Accept my thanks, ‘The band then struck up & lively tune, Meanwhile the President remained, very many of the colored per- sone approaching and shaking hands with him.

It was a: glorious day for the colored population. THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL APPROVED. ‘The President has approved the Navy Appropriation Dill.

ARRIVAL OF A PARDONED SIBERIAN EXILE. Last November Colvnel Julian Allen, of New York, 10, quested the United States to use its good offices with the Russian government to obtain for the exile, Sir Michael’ Meyendorff, permission to join his family im this country. The latter is quite a young man, who took part in the Polish revolution of 1862, and for this was banished to Siberia, The Russian government, in ite sincere friendship for the United States government, granied the application, making this an exceptional case, and extended to the released exile marked atten- tion. When he was sent to Siboria, with three hundre@, others, the journey occupied eight months, the travel being on foot; and when he was liberated, he, by taking ‘the best means of conveyance, reached St. Petersburg in thirteen days, He arrived here yesterday in company with Colonel Allen, bis nalt-brother, having made the journey from Siberia to Washington—nine thousand miles—in five weeks. They have come hither to thank the government for its successful efforts in his behalf.
