————_____ Application to the Supreme Court to Reopen the Decision on the Legal Tender Act. Justice Bradley to Sit on the Re- hearing of the Ca The Increased Appropriation for the New York Post Office Defeated, Lively Tilt in the Senate Chamber. DRAKE AND SUMNER AT LOGGERHEADS, WASHINGTON, April 8, 1870, An Unfounded Rumor VorrectedJudge Brade ley and the Legal Ten‘er Act. A report having got into circulation to the effect that Mr, Justice Bradley, of the United States Su- preme Court, had determined not to sit m any case tuvoiving the constitutionality of the Lega! ‘fender Act, for the reason that, as an advocate, he had been Interested in the question before his elevation to the bench, your correspondent has taken pains to ascer- tain the truth of the matter, and finds that there is no foundation whatever for the story, 1 have the authority of the eminent Justice himseif for this statement. Judge Bradley has not said to any one ‘Was he would feel constrained not to sit in legal ‘ender cases, nor does he intend to pursue such a course. He thinks that whether he was interested or not a8 an advocate im cases § involy- Mg the constitutionality of the law has nothing to do with his rights and duties a8 @ judge, and especially in the cases which are now before the court and with which he had no con- nection. Should any of the specific cases in which he might heve been employed come up, then, and only then, will he feel delicacy in participating tn its adjudication; but while other cases, merely involv- ing the same lega! points, are under consideration, he will be entirely free to participate. Otherwise, as he says himself, every judge, who at one tia.e hap- pened to be a lawyer of extended practice, would be disqualified as a judge, for nearly every question of law comes up some time or other for adjudica- tion, The importance of the ramor was that, sup- posing it true, it would have the effect in ail prob- ability of leaving the old decision in force. The last decision wus adopted by a vote of four to three, and since then Bradley and Strong having been added to the court, and taking it for granted that Strong is tu favor of legal tenders, it would leavesthe court divided, four to four, Bradley not taking part, In that way the old decision would stand. Apvlication to Reopen the Legal Tender Ouse. Hon. J. B. Peck, member of Congress from Ken- wicky, moved In the Supreme Court to-day for the reopening of the Hepourn-Griswold case, the leading legal tender case aecided at the present term. Mr. C. R. Potter, wno argued the case, maintaiming the . UNConstitutionality of the Legal Tender act, pro- ceeded to address the court, but was interroptea by the Chief Justice, Who said the motion was not de- batable, The motion was taken under advisement. No decided case will be reopened under a deciston of the court at this term unless it be requested by one of the concurring Justices, and it, therelore, de- pends upon such a contingency whether tne case will be reopened. The Case of Bradley, the Colored Lawyer. Yesterday A, A. Bradley (colored) addressed a written application to Chief Justice Chase, request- ing thereturn of certain papers handed to the Court in his behalf. ‘This application was returned. tohim through the Clerk of the Court, with the suggestion that a motion should be made by coun- * gelin open court for that purpose. Yesterday the motion for the admission of Bradley to the bar was withdrawn by Mr. Riddle and the papers returned to him. No endorsement upon Bradley’s applica- tion for the return of the papers was made by the Court. ‘he Increased Appropriation tor the New York Post Office Deteated.

The respective counsel in the Richmond mayoralty Case had another hearing before Chief Justice Chase to-night at his residence.

By Mr. STEwakr, (rép.) of Nev.—A bill relating to @ survey for a military railroad on the west bank of the Potomac from Georgetown, D, C., to Harper's Ferry.

IMPROVEMENT OF DULUTH HARBOR, From the Committee on Public Lands, Mr. SPRAGUE, (rep.) of K. L, reported, with amend- ments, the bit granting lands to the State of Min- hesota to aid im the improvement of the harbor of Duluth, Lake Superior. JOINT COMMITTER ON INDIAN AFFAIRS. The careadar was taken up and the concurrent resolution for a jot committee on Indian affairs Was discussed mainly upon the propriety of com- mitting to @ joint committee a subject which in- volved the treaty-making power. Mr. HARLAN, (rep.) of lowa, favored the proposi- ton as & means of adjusting differences of opinion between the Houses. Last year the House re! aier @ certain date, tocarry into effect Indian treaties by witfinolding appropriations, and the Senate had been weak enough to yield the point to the House, Mr. Dk akg, (rep.) of Mo., believed that the resolu- tion covered a vast scheme of rascality, though he did uot mean that any member of either House who advocated it was aware of the fact, nor could be himself put his finger upon the proof for bis asser- ton, but such was his conviction. Mr. Srewakr said the proof of the rascality Which was Known (0 exist might be more readily forthcoming than was generally supposed. [It was because corrupt practices did exist and that careful investigation upon Indian affairs was more than ever imperatively demanded that be favored the pro- position for a joint committee, Mr. SUMNER, (rep.) of Mass., inquired of the Senaior from Missouri (Mr. Drake) whetuer his re- marks were intended to throw any reflection upon tue gentleman who had introduced the resolution in the House. Mr. DRAKE replied, with emphasis, that nothing but the respect due to the Senate kept back such an auswer to the question as the Senator trom Massa- chusetts wouid not Wish to hear. ie had expressly disclaimed any imputation upon any advocate of the resolution, and how dared the Senator put chat question to iit after lis express disclauner ? Mr. SUMNER Yeplied he wanted to have the ex- plauation. He would favor any measure calculated to discharge tne duty of the government to the in- diaus, the wards of Lae nation, Mr. Davis, (dem.) of Ky., said the constitution confined the treaty-inaking power to the President and the Senate, but the House had for several years sought to encroach upon and usurp a portion of that power. He thought these encroachments and usurpations should be firmly met and voted down. A Lwo-thirds vote of the Senate was required to con- tirm an indian treaty, but it was hoped by this jomt committee to overtarow that principle by making the passage of measures dependent upon the com- mittee’s report, thus establishing an innovation upon the constisution. a\t this pomt the morning bour expired and Mr. NYE, (rep-) Of Nev., moved an adjournment as a mark of respect for the memory of Generat ‘Thomas, whose fucerai took place this day at 'I'roy. ;The Senate then sdjourned until to-morrow, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. WASHINGTON, April 8, 1870. CONGRESSIONAL APPOINTMENT, Mr. PAINE, (rep.) of Wys., introduced a bill pro- viding that after the present Congress the House of Representatives shall.be composed of 275 members, and of such members as apy State thereafter ad- mitted may be entitied to,.and directing the Secre- tary of the Lnterior to ascertain from the preliminary census report of 1870 the basis of representation and the apportionment of each State.

Adopted, PRIVATE BILLS. The House then, as the business of the morning hour on Friday, proceeded to the call ot committees for bilis of a private character. Various private bills were reported from the Post Office Committee and the Committee on Indian Affairs and passed. Among those from the latrer committee was one to reserve from the moneys due to the Kiowa Indians $10,000 for the beneftt of two white captives recovered from them, after the massacre Of their parents and rela- tives, and who are to be known as flelen and Heloise Lincoln. A MISSISSIPPI MEMBER SWORN IN. ‘The morning hour having expired, Mr. PAINE, from the Committee on Elections, re- ported back the credentials of Henry W. Berry, member elect from the Third Congressional district of Mississippi, a3 being regular. Mr. Barry then came forward and took the oath of oflice. PERSONAL EXPLANATION, Mr. JonNSOs, (dem.) of Cal,, rising to a personal eXplauanion, said that he had introduced, some weeks ago, a bill to create a new Judicial district in Caufornia, It had been sent to him by a distin- guished lawyer of San Francisco, and he had intro- duced it without examination. He had since found that the papers of Caltiornia, of both parties, had been assailing Nim for that act, because the proposed poundarles were not what they ought to be. He had not intended that the bill should pass in the shape he found 1 in after it was printed. The bar of San Francisco had sent him a document remon- stratlng agaist the passage of the bill, and he now presented that remonstrance and wished tt referred to the Judiciary Committee. It had also been charged by the press there that he was attempting 10 legislate Judge Hoffman out of office. ‘That gen- Ueman was a disunguished judge, nut a politician, and it was not very likely that he (Johnson) was tn- clmed to legisiate him out of office for the advan- tage of two republicans.

The next paragraph was that taxing at five cents ber pound and tuirty-five per cent ad valorem cotton shirts, drawers and other articles kuit or woven on frames.

LITTLEJOHN asked that the matter be laid over till to-morrow or Monday. Butif it was to be de- bated he would say this bill did not reach the evil compiained of. This bill would be making this in- stitution @ political machine, as it gave the Gover- nor and the Senate the power to appoint these trus- vees. He appealed to tue tlouse not to ado any act here that would place our brotiers or sons in the hands of a set of politicians. As to the institution, he asserted that It was in the hands of some of the best citizens of the State, men high in position, men known and esteemed throughout the State.

AFFECTING SCENE IN A MASSACHUSETTS PRISON. An Old Man Pardoned After Twenty Years of Confinement. Boston, April 8, 1870, A most touching scene occurrea in the Massachu- setts State Prison, in Charlestown, yesterday after- noon. Over twenty years ago a young man named George Hunnewell, with every prospect of a brignt and prosperous future, fell from a proud and upright” station of sobriety and integrity to the lowness of drunkenness and vice, and, a3 too many have before and since done, soon became a willing fol- lower and an easy victim of that curse of humanity, strong drink. In October, 1847, after a reiease from an imprisonment of six months, he deliberately set re in the night thine to his own home, and a brother of his, in eudeavoring to secure some papers from the building, perished in the flames, junnewell was arrested, tried and convicted, and sentenced to be hanged, that ba the pengity for arson in those days. ue sentence, however, was commuted to imprisonment for life. About the 1st of February, twenty-two years and two montbs ago, he entered the gates of a prison from which to tim there was no returning. Isolated from the pright and busy world without, dead for- ever, in this existence, to the biessed gilt of free- dom, he seemed doomed to live on and perhaps die within the wails of a building to him a living tomb. Only once during those long and weary years, and then ror only one short hour, has he been per- mitted to gaze upon the scenes of his early years, and thea only trom the cupola of his prison. Never during his coufinement nas he been permit ted be outside the gates he entered so many years ago. le has lived on day after day, patient, yet hopeful! that he mignt yet be pardoned ana set free, but never daring perhaps to expect a realization of huis prayers, But yesterday opened a new leaf in his experience of life; for at noonday he stood, for the first ume for nearly @ quarter of a century, afree map. By the consent of the Governor arrangements were effected for extending to this old and patient pri- sonerafull and unconditional pardon, About ten o'clock the prisoners were called to the chapel, where were seated quite @ numerous audience, and after the usual devotional exercises by the chap- Jain, Warden Haynes offered a few remarks, com- prising a brief résumé of his experience auring his connection with the prison, and after briefly allud- ing to the annual custom of the Governor of par- doning an inmate of his large family, he stated that to-day 1t gave him great pleasure to announce as the subject of executive clemency tie name of George Hunnewell, and requested him bear- ing that name to stand up. In response an old, giay-haired man, fifty-nine years old, siowly arose with mingled feelings of joy and surprise de- picted on its features. Excited cheers arose from the audience, which was gladly joined in by the prisoners, and in the confusion and excitement unnewell was hurried out of the chapel, to throw aside forever the garments of a felon, and soon came forth clothed in the habiliments of a free man. He was warmly and ean ts congratulated upon his exit from prison life, and he wiil in a few days depart for a home in Western Pennsylvania. BROOKLYN INTELLIGENCE, Samuel McCarty, John Conkiin, John Riley and Frederick Jones, the four young pickpockets ar- rested by detectives Corwin and Van Wagner on Fulton avenue about a week since, were sent to the House of Refuge yesterday by Justice Warsh, Thomas Phalon and Wilflam Grady got into a fight at the corner of Carroll and Columbia streets at alate hour on Thursday night. In the course of the affray Phalon got one of Grady’s fingers between his teeth and bit it off. The accused was locked up ta answer a charge of “Mayhem. Detectives Corwin, Frost and Folk arrested three shoplifters, named Lewis Pardon, Manuei Frith and Peter Sefer, yesterday afternoon, at the corner of Washington ana High streets. The officers had fol- lowed the thieves through several streets, and saw them attemping to steal dry goods from the doors of several dry goods stores. A pair of shoes, stolen Irom the shoe store of Thomas Fagan, at No. 107 Fuiton avenue, was found in the possession of Pur- don. The accused were sentenced to five months’ imprisonment in the Penitentiary and fined fifty dol- Jars each by Justive Waish. A LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT. Complimentary Readings to Professor Fro- bisher. Avery select audience assembled last evening tn the elegant Hall of the Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation to hear the complimentary readings to Pro- ressor J. E.

Imposing Display in the Streets and an En- thusiastic Meeting at Cooper Institute. Rejoicing Over the Passage of the Fifteenth Amendment. Speeches by Wendell Phillips, tho Rev. H. H. Garnett and Others. ing to the sombre hues which sur- rounded and whieh the finest cosmetics couid Tights ise miaiutade sat, decovously ‘aod "plea and. at umes ful vent to unbounded delight. AB & ratifical meeting of the fifteenth amend- ment it must have fully real the brightest hopes of years, The s: re stirred the hearts of their hearers, whose shouts of applanse were re-echoed by their brethren outside the building, ‘The women waved their cambries when their hearts were tonched, aud now and then the ringing cheers of the men swelled into a powerlul display of euthu- siastic and unrestrained fey. Shortly after eigiit o'clock the meeting was catled to order by the Rev. William Butler, after watch tie Kev, Mr. Turpin offered up a fervent prayer, revurn- ing thanks tor the great event which was now being celebrated throughout the land, ‘The Secretary read a long list of vice presidents, Whose names were received with great cheering. TUL CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH. The chatrman then deitvered a brief address, in the course of witicl he observed that @ new era in the history of the country lad arrived. ‘They were now new-born citizens of the United States of America, (Cheers.) Slavery was dead forever, and they stood for the first time upon the sot! as freemen Of wis great republic, (Cheers.) dne stripes, once applied \o their bucks, now waved for their glory.

The occasion was one of rare interest, being the public endorsement of the last result of the great civil war, and the colored element turned out im full force and tn all its glory. Dealers in mourning goods might have caught an idea from the various shades of black represented in the pro- cession, and a clond of interested spectators of both sexes lined the sidewalks in Broadway for many & block. Throughout the celebration our newly en- franchised neighbors conducted themselves in the Most laudable manner and got themselves up re- gardless of expense for the occasion. All were astir at anearly hour, and dusky faces were scrubbed until they shone again, the well scented wool was carded out and parti-coiored raiment was donned to do nonor to the elevation of the darky from con- traband to repeater. There was A SOUND OF REVELRY from early dawn in the Egyptian darkness of Sulli van strect, anda murmur of festivity in each bar- ber’s shop and hotel kitchen. Giistening teeth and eyes, ruby lips and plantation cachinnations ushered in the dawn “ob de day ob Jubilo,” and Ethiopian exclamations, and in some cases objurgations, mingled with the cry of the milkman and the yawn OI ihe drowsy policeman. Families bad some dim. culty 1m gesting their breakfast cooked, as the dusky cutsiniere declared that SAM AND MOSE AND JAKE Were to ca)l around in a carriage to take her to see “de cullud ladies and gemmen in de purcession.’’ Many a seamed chin testified to the impatience of the barber to transact business with the customer before the drum beat the hour of assembly, and many an imprecation, loud and deep, greeted the spolled steak, the hard boif€a egg and the ruined capon, which thoughts of the great day drove out of the mind of the dusky cook or waiter. But the tollets, both male and female! In this particular Sambo and Dinah spread themselves to an alarming extent. The former imaulged m an unwar- rantable amount of shirt collar, such as the champion ‘walk arounder’ of the min- strel profession would stand aghast at. Add to this glistening wool, beaded with bear's grease and redolent of undesirable bouquet a'Ethi- ope—& Dan Bryant style of costume—and shoes which would seem to have been built in one of the shipyards, and there will be a very tair idea of THE AVERAGE CUFFEE in the procession yesterday. Dinah shone respien- dent in silk and satin and gingham, and wore hats which would have driven @ Parisian milliner to de- spair. A black velvet sacque, a scarlet robe, a blue hat and @ green veil, with yellow kids, adorned many @ midnight belle that sat in the numerous car- , riages of the procession. Yellow turbans were ta- booed on this occasion, owing, probably, to the rivalry between Sambo and John Chinaman at the pregent time. THE ROUTE OF THE PROCESSION Was as follows:—At eleven o'clock A. M. the various associations assembled at Washington Parade Ground, and tne line formed on Fifth avenue at one o'clock, the right resting on Eighth street. The colummien passed through Eighth strect to Fourth avenue, thence to the Bowery and as far as Canal street, down Canal to Hudson, up Hudson to Spring, througi: Spring to Broadway, up Broadway to Thirty- fourth street, thence to Madison avenue, down this avenue to Twenty-third street, thence to Fourth ave- nue, and from Fourth avenue to the Cooper Insti- tute, where the parade was dismissed.

About 15,000 colered people viewed the parade and over 7,000 colored men were in line. General Wiliam B. Mansfield was the general officer of the day. The first division was commanded by Colonel P. Leighton; the second division by Colonel Jonn N. Carney, and the third division by Colonel P. Haw- kins, formerly sorgeant major of the Twentieth Uni- ted States colored volunteers, ‘A wagon, festooned with flags and banners, was also in the line, containing twenty-nine young col- ored giris, dressed in biue and white, who repre- sented the States which had ratifled the fifteentn amendment. This wagon was drawn by four horses, driven tandem. Another wagon was filled with boys, representing all the States, Frederick Doug- lass passed through the crowd in Filth avenue, greeting his friends, %@ was loudly cheered, but did not take part in the exerciges. Among the mot- toes on the banners carried by the cotored peopie were the following:— “Thaddeus Stevens, the great advocate of freedom,’ ‘We want no money for our votes.? We ask nothing but a fair race for life.” “With malice toward none, but charity to all.” “Brown and Lincoln, martyrs of freedom.’? THR SALOON KEEPERS were ina sad predicament to supply the wants of their customers, as their dark walters were all cele- brating the juotiee. A kaleidoscope or a German bal masqué could hardly furnish the variety of colors presented in the procession yesterday. Cuffee is fond of strong contrasts and loves to set off his sooty countenance in a gorgeous framework. The pickaninnies repre- senting ali the States formed a parterre of sunshine and shadow which would have delighted an ad- mirer of Rembrandt. Everything was quiet on the great thoroughfares whtie the cloud was passing over them, and not a single case of accident or dis- turbance of any Kind was reported. There are ‘ THREE GRAVE REFLECTIONS to be drawn from the parade yesterday. First, the ‘utter absence of all interference with or molestation of the enfranchised negroes by whites of any class in a city where afew ago a darky’s life was not now showing a complete submission to the law of the land. Secondly, the quiet, self-posseased and apparently grateful demeanor of the colored people themselves; and lastly, the extent of the demonstration, showing significantly that colored voters will exercise hereafter a very important influ- ence at the polis. $ THE MASS MEETING AT COOPER INSTITUTE. The rejoicings of the day concluded with a mass Meeting of the new voters. The stanch old walls of Cooper Institute literally groaned. The crush was tremendous, for perhaps a more crowded and enthusiastic gathering never congregated tn the butiding. Had the force of hydraulic pressure been brought to bear & jarger assemblage could not possi- bly have been squeezed within tie space. The effect can better be imagined than described. It was @ Spectacle to be remembered with feelings which only such an exhibition can create, Suffocation and its other unwelcome concomitants had full swing, and many a rivaiet of perspiration flowed freely on its course, For an hour and @ half at least the vicinity of the Cooper Institute was sur- rounded by a dense multitude, and the doors once open a sinultaueous charge was made for the seats. In less than fitteen minutes the hall wae fille (he Srims pole’ Therey and the band com: “ionced its series of popular tunes. Na- onal emblems were suspended irom conspicuous places, and appropriate inscriptions, setting lorth that the day ot iiverty had arrived, profusely adorned the massive pillars of the hall. A general feeling of rejoicing prevatied, and the great mags gf people seemed anxious to display a Universal smile of Bat- isfaction. Great as the dificuities must have been to gain admittance probably & third of the audience was composed of women, whose gaudy and variegated apparel fore quite an interest- America, The promises of President Grant had been fulfilled by his prociamation. ‘rey had now one country aud one flag. ‘There were equal riguts, liberty and justice for all. (Cheers.) A LEITER FROM THE PRESIDENT. The SECRETARY read the fifteenth amendment rociamauion, after which & letter from President irans was read acknowledging the receipt of an invitation to attend the meeting and expressing his regret that public duties prevented his aticudance. The CHAIRMAN then introduced the Kev. Henry Hiland Garnett, a colored gentleman, to whom be paid a high tribute Jor his earvest advocacy an the cause of i1berty. THE REV, MR. GARNETI’S SPERCH. The Rev, Henry H. Garnett, on coming forwara, ‘was loudly cheered. He said:—I have had the plea- sure, ladies and gentlemen, to stand before you in this hall on other great occasions. For nearly thirty years it has been my privilege to speak here for the cause of human liberty; but never until this evening have [ been permitted to address you as fellow citizens. (Cheers.) There 18 music and a charm in the words, Let me utter them again— “Fellow oltzens” of the United States of America. (Cheers.) And I shail just here mention one IMPORTANT HISTORICAL FACT. Surveying the whole world, looking upon all the governments of the earth, there 18 Mot one to-day, but with one exception, speaking the English ian- age, in which there is not distinction made io re- lerence to colored people. (A voice—What 1s that?) Isay in every country under every goverment where the English language is spoken to-day the inhabit- ants stand equaily oefore the law. There is no dis- tinction made in regard to race or color—and that is the repuolic of Liberia, And I do not blame Liberia having contracted the bad habit trom the United States in its worst days. (Laughter.) And now it has always been my custom to acknowledge our gratitude to the author ot all our blessing, and 1 propose, if you agree, that you all Tise and stand in silence in nonor of God (nere the audience rose and remained standing for a te ino- ments). And having done so mucn, Lmust ask the Jadies to get their handkerchtefs and the gentiemen to ge their lungs ready (.augater), HURRAH FOR EVERYBODY. Three cheers for the old abolitionists who have fought this battle of the glorious. Hurrah (cheers), hurrah (cheers), hurrah (cheers), Let us give three cheers for William Lloyd Garrison, for Wendell Phillips, Lucretia Mott, Falstam, and ali the abolitionsts, (Cheers.) Give three more. (Cheers.) ‘Phir heers lor our old flag, how without astain. (Cheers.) Three cheers for the repub: Congress. (Cheers.) T! cheers for Prestdent Grant and lus Cabinet. (Cheer: for our- (Tremendous ch r.) And, Thave been requested to give three cheers for the tens of thousands Outside, Who cannot gain ad- mission. (Cheers.) My observations shail now be ofa practical character. I leave the logic, | leave the rhet- oric, 1 leave the matchiess eloquence to that orator of America who is to tollow me—~—Wendel! Phillips. (Applause.) As oue of the people I propose to speak a lew words to the people, which I trust will be in- teresting to the peupic. There are some who sap- pose that the ratification Of tne fiiteenth amendment willbe @ universal panacea for all our woes, our social dimiculties and troubles. What bas it done? It has only given us fair play, and we ourselves must work out our own salvation if 16 13 to be worked outat all. There area great many people who say that colored peopie will very soon go over to the democrats. There are some democrats who say they know HOW TO MANIPULATE the colored voters of the State and city of New York, and that when they come to us with GLITTERING ARGUMENTS they will win usover. (A voice—‘‘All right.’ Veil, 1 suppose there will be some “black” en will do 80, and for this reason that some black men are fools a8 well as some white men. (Laughter.) Black men were no better but just as good as white men; in fact, 1f they were any better then the question of the equality of races could not be entertained. Colo people must not go against telr own interests and undermine the foundation upon which their trends stand. Now we must not rsecute others for exercising pel their political rights or expressing their political opinions, or any other opinion. e should accord that right to every human being, and now i am going to utter an opinion, and I hope nobody wil persecute ine for it, and It is thus:—if there is one single biack Man that treads the soll of tne United States, that, having before hun the record of the democratic party in this State or in this country, that will so scuitify himself as to abandon the prin- ciples for which his triends bave fought, ail | have to say i thati have no very profound respect tor that man’s intelligence or common sense. (Laugh- ter), A STONY HEART AND A SOFT HEAD. It 18 my opimion that such @ man hasa stone in his heart and @ soft place in his head, (Laugtter,) Let me ask you, fellow citizens, would any German vote for those who persecuted? Would he use his iniluence for those who had endeavored to crush him? Do you believe tuat there is an Insiman that ever letc the Green Isle of the Sea would vote for a party that endeavored to keep him down or traduced his peovie, or that Kept is rights from him? ‘There are @ great many democrats of high social standing, refinement and liberality, but when you speak of their politics tuey are MIGHTY BAD. They are mighty bad. indeed. (Laughter.) After some allusions to the refusal of some states to ratily tre fifreenth amendment, the speaker continued:-—t do not want a man who would vote against liberty and tbe interests of his country; 1 do not want such @ man to darken the doors of my house; 1 do not want lim to polinte my hand. It was sald that the democrats would cajole and HONEYPUGLE you, They would say that the republicans did pot care about you, that the democrats would give you oftices and in fine that the democratic party; was che black man’s friend. (Laughter) But let us stand by those who stood by usin the days of peril and darkness; who whed our hope Was almost gone cur- ried us salely through the war—Fremont, Gene Thomas, @who to-day was jald tu tis motoer earth; Lincoln, and last, though not least, that great man who not only thinks twice before but @ Gozen times wisely (cheers), nat inan New York that he cared nothing about A MAN'S COMPL! He did not care what his color was; tt he had talent and brains ne would, so far as he could, help him on bis way to success. (Cheers.) ly Gen- eral Grant has come to tue climax by his proclama- tion, He has taken away the last vestige of tat old system, and now there 1s not a slave tat treads this soil. (Cheers.) Let us betake ourselves tg habits of thrift and rrugality. Let us take root in the sou by purcnasing land; get money, not for the sake of it, but for the sake of being independent, and, ax the great Scottish poet nas said, ‘You may be Indepen- dent by learning to lend money, as well as to borrow it.” Take your station among the soitd and sub- stantial men of the Jand; love your children, and above all treasure in your hosoms ali that relates to @ Weil ordained and dignified life; love your coun- ty, love your fellow men, and God bless you all. (Cheers.) ‘The secretary then read the following resolutions, whichjwere unanimously adopted:— ‘@ Resolved, That the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, by which equal sut- frage is secured to ail male citizens without regard to color or previous condition, by three-fourths of the States strongest evidence of the prevalence of the sentiment of jus- tice in the public mind, is @ guarantee that repulican civil- ization bas taken deep root among us, and that the future of our country will present a purer specimen of human devel: mnt then has hitn ed Gt ‘the world, for the good of man and of Resolved, That while we crateruly thant the United States for proposing by resolution the bfteenth amendment, and the Legislatures of the several States for ratifying the same, we cannot forget that it was the procia- mation of freedom issued by our Jamented President that made the adoption of the fifteenth amendment possible.

Powet. was then introduced to the meeting. and made a short speech 1n laudation of the passage of the fifteenth amendment, The Chairman then shot forth nis greatest gun in the person of Wendeli Phillips, who. on vresenting the Congress of 3 himself, was received with the most tumultuc™® |pplause, SPEECH OF WENDELL PHILLIPS, FELLOW Crrizens—I never to live to see this day—cheers)—for | have’ hours when [ did not velieve that @ny manor this Would live to see it, Ihave stood under these arches jn moments when IT believed that these very arches Would crumbie before any man would see thia day.

But this ts also ap hour 10 DISCRIMINATE. It seems to me there are four names which the gratitude of your race shouid single out for memory. ‘the first of the great four which arises aboye the crowa is that of the President whv gave you tus first word, when he estered the White House, and who bas welcomed tis sublime epoch of your pistory with @ speech so touching and hearty that it de- serves the second place in the world’s record of eloquence—only second to that of the speech of the President at Getiysburg. The second is that of the great President himself, destined to loom above alt other Executive Magistraves in this republic; the third name 1s that of & man who availed bimseif of the opportunity attorded by rebellion to lifs Ame- rican law to such a pitch of justice as to lift over four millions of siaves—four millions of men and women—out of bond cheers)—Abrabam Lin- coin, (Cheers.) The oiber name of these illustrious four 8 that of the martyr of your race, the echoes of whose rifies have died away in tne valley of the Shenandoah, but whose soul is “STL. MARCHING ON.” (Loud applause.) The first great outpost which the white race placed in your crusade of emancipation was pluced there the moment Joho Brown set bis foot on Harper's Ferry. (Applause,) 1 had the pleasure of saying then that SLAVERY WAS DEAD from that hour. (Cheers,) The second great out- post In your crusade was when General Buuler throttled the anaconda in New Orleans, and the third was when Ulysses 5, Grant straagled the grand ser- pent at Appomattox. (Boisterous cheering.) But}, too, have one counsel to leave with you—one text to sermonize upou la this great hour of your history. {he white race that allowed you to gain nowing im six generations has no right how to speak to you of frugality.

A concerted movement ts on foot among & number of Cubans in this country having for its object their emigration to St. Domingo. Interviews have been seid with prominent New York sipping houses eu- gaged in West India trade for the purpose of aequir- ing information respecting the inducements to set- tlement in St. Domingo by Cubans, and the teost advontageous means of proceeding there, an tierce seems to be a probability of a large numberof @xued patriots from the ‘Queen Of the Antiles’? making vheir future iomes in their sister isiand.
