DOUGLASS, Wasuixetom, April 14, 1876, The unveiling of the Lincoln statue at Lincoln Square, in the eastern portion of the city, was tho main feature of to-day’s legal holiday. The colored Population wero out in full force, ‘THE PROCESSION thither was largo, including colored troops, Knights Templar, Knights of St. Augustine, the Sous of Purity, the Sons of Levi, Good Samaritans, Labor League and other unitormed benevolent associations, accompanied by music. There was, previous to their arrival, an im- mense assemblage at the Park. The statue, covered With flags, was the great object of interest. ‘THE FIRST CONTRINUTION to the statue fund was made onthe morning afer the Assassination of President Lincoln, by Charlotte Scott, a colored woman, of Marietta, Ohio, who gave | $5. The original cost of the monument, $17,000, and other incidental expenses, have all been paid by sub- scriptions by the colored people. The last Congress ap- propriated $3,000 for the pedestal, and the statue was allowed to pass the Custom House free of duty. ‘THE BTATUK, which 18 of bronze, is of colossal size, being twelvo feet high, resting upon a pedestal ten feet high, It represents Mr. Lincoln standing erect, with the Proclamation of Emancipation in his left hand, whilo the right band is outstretched over the knecling figure ofa slave, trom whose limbs tho shackles have just been freed. Upon the base of the monument is the word :— CEA ERR Ona ol BN (eed EMANCIPATION. SA aphi sud shiheokaed eons cberetantesectuiidal viel st, There wero on the speakers’ stand the Presid members of the Cabinet, Justices of the Supreme Court, foreign Ministers, Senators and Representatives, and other persons of prominence. After music by the Marine Band—“Hail, Cotumbia”’—prayer and the read- ing of the Emancipation Proclamation, Professor Lang- ston formally accepted the statue in behalt of the en- tire nation, and then called upon President Grant to ‘unveil it, THE UNVEILING, Prolonged applause greeted the wordsof the speaker, and increased when the President stepped to the front and grasped the rope that was attached to the flag veil- ing the statue, The President gave ono firm pull, and the starry banner glided down, and amid the deafening cheers of the multitude, the playing of music and the dooming of cannon the beautiful monument stood un- veiled. A poem was read, composed by Miss Cornolia Ray, colored, of New York, Frederick Douglass was then introduced amid ap- plause, and delivered the oration, in the course of which he said:— ‘€MR, DOUGLASS’ ORATION. Great mission was to accomplish two things—tirat, to save his country from dismember- ment, and second, to free his country from the great crime of slavery. Todo one or the other or both ho 0 the earnest sympathy and tho powerful co-operation of his loyal fellow countrymen. Without this his efforts must have been vain and utterly iruit- less, he put the abolition of slavery before th salvation of the Union he would have inevitably driven from him @ powerful class of the American people and ren- dered resistance to rebellion impossible. Viewed froin the genuine abolition ground Mr. Lincoln seemed to- day cold, dull and indifferent; but measuring him by the sentiment of hi country—a sentiment he was bound as a statesman to consult—he was swift, zeal- ous, radical and determined. Thou; Mr. Lincoln shared the prejudices of his white fellow countrymen against the negro, it is hardly necessary to ray that in his hoart of hearts he loathed and hated slavery. He was willing while the South was loval that it should have its pound of flesh, because thought It was so nominated tn the bond, but further than this no earthly power could make him go. SCENES AND INCIDENTS AT THE UXVETLING— A REMINISCENCE OF UNCLE TOM’S CABIN— CONFEDERATES PRESENT—EFFECT OF DOUG- Lass’ ADDRESS, Wasntxaton, April 14, 1876, Standing alongside of General Logan on the rostrum at the unveiling of the Lincoln statuo to-day, was Louis Clark alias George Harris, who saw the nogro Uncle Tom whipped to death by Tom Canaday, of Garrett county, Kentucky, Immediately afterward he crossed | the Ohio on the ice and gave the particalarsto Mra, Harriet Beecher Stowe, upon which she framed her stirring drama of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. PRESIDENT GRANT ‘was as immovable as a statue, flanked on one side by ex-Vice President Hamlin, who served with Mr. Lin- coln through his frst term, and on the other by acting Vice President Ferry. During a pathetic passage of Fred Douglass’ oration, Secretary Chandler, the old war Governor of Michigac, was observed to be moved toteara, The prominent WAR GOVERNORS Present beside him were Senators Oglesby, of Ilinos; Morton, of Indiana, and Bristow, of Kentucky. Many ex-Confederates also took part in the ceremonies, and prominently ex-Confedorate Pusmaster General Reagan and Doorkeeper Fitzhugh, of the Richmond Congress. Frequently during Mr. Douglass’ reading of his oration those on the stage exclaimed, “Good! that’s good!” which those commenting on it afterward said was hard upon those gentlemen and their friends, CRITICISING THE STATUR. A coterie of colored savans, criticising the bronze figure at Mr. Lincoln's feetin ihe statue group, said that the should not be there, as It would be an aggravation to the Southern people when they looked at 't, and it should not have any chains upon it. Tho speaker was particularly indignant about this feature of the group. SERIOUS FIRE.

His tender words to those who mourned were the outpouring of the pas- tor’s spirit; in her Christian life he found a lesson for his hearers which he did not fatl to impress upon them, Her beauties were those of the Christian daughter, wifeand mother; still, the look should not be ward, but forward teward an oternal life with her ang her God. The anthem trom the Psalms over, the casket was taken from its ciegant floral surroundings at the base of the pulpit and borne trom the church, preceded by the clergyman and followed by the funeral procession.

For Some time it was believed that Dr. Gerard B. Ham- mond, who died a few days after the news of tho death of Mrs. Jersey was recotved, wos instrumental in bringing about that result, and bad committed sul- Cide to escape the punishment which would follow the discovery of his crime. That hypothesis is now proven | to have been false. All the evidence given at tho in- quest as tothe cause of Dr. Hammond’s death indi- cates that event to have resulted from apoplex, caused by the continaous use of hydrate of chioral. ih | isalso proven that upon the day that Mrs. Jersey started upon her journey on the steamer | Cuba Dr, Hammond was in the village of | Spring Valley, in attendance upon patients, and that on the day of the lady’s death he was a guest at a dinner in the house of one of the wealthiest and most respected residents of Ramapo township. Thus | the blot cast upon the character of Dr. Hammond im- | Modiately after his death has been removed. He is | roven not to have been the person who bought Mrs, lersey’s ticket for the voyage to Port Royal, and who represented himself on the steamship Cuba as “Dr. Hamilton.” Who ana where, then 1s the reputed Doctor | Hamilion? A detective engaged to find him wrote to | bis employers on Wodnesday that “the Doctor, | think, is now not far away from the City Hall,’? In concluding | his letter the detective says, speaking of the Doctor and the money ($7,500) taken from the person of Mrs. Jersey :—**I feei certain that [ can put my hand on and produce the person who was on the steamer and at- | tended Mrs. Jersey as ‘Doctor,’ and if you instruct me to do so will undertako it, What good result would follow from itl cannot say. No conviction could be had for murder, because, the body being buried in the se there ts no f possible that murder wascom| mitted. | am satisfied that that person took the mouey. How much prospect there is tbat be bas it now or could bo made to produce it you can judge as well as I.” ‘Tho present theory of this mysterious case is that Mrs, Jersey, coming to this city, became acquainted with some unscrupulous persons who soon learned that she was ‘ofa goodly sum of money. Her new and unscrupulous acquaintances upon learning of her intention to go to Florida via Port Royal determined to «8 her funds for their own, and this determina- tion was julfiled through the death of the unfortunate woman on the steamship Cuba, This theory will never be tested, however, unless that detective arrests Dr, Hamiiton, ~~ OBITUARY. HOSEA F. CLARK. This gentleman, a most prominent and wealthy rest- dent of Jersey City, died on Tharsday afternoon in the sixty-Orst year of his age. He wasa native of West- chester county, and at tho age of nineteen entered into the dry goods business in New York city.
