WASHINGTON May I4.-At early hour this
morning dense multitude assembled here, inclu
ding many ladies' and intense excitement was
everywhere exhibited. The scene was delight
ful, and rendered additionally so by the freshness
of verdure from the recent rains, and the refec-
ton of clear blue sky. Flags were flying III all
directions.
The Treaty was the first thing brought from
the boat Then followed the japanese under the
escort of several naval officers. They passed. as
they landed, between the American and Japanese
flags Having approached to where Capt. Bl-
chanan was standing, he, in presence of his broth
er officers, welcomed them in the name OF the
President of the United States and of the country
reciprocating the kind feelings which ex
hibited by the japanese government when the
Treaty vas made with the gallant Perry. AS
humble participation in this interesting occasion,
he could but feel proud of being the Medium of
this reception on the part of his countrymen:
At 11d o'clock gun from the Navy Yard an
nounced that the steamer was in sight, whereup
on there was a general rush to the wharf. While
the Philadelphia approached, the Marine Band

pliment. The japanese on tie upper deck were
evidently delighted. One of them was busy in
taking sketches. An American Daguerrotypist
had fixed his cameo for taking llkenesses. The
greatest excitement was everywhere exhibited
The Club boats the river with the American
and japanese flags flying, added to the brllliancy
and effect of the scene.
The dignitaries after being thus addressed re-
turned through the Interpreter their warmest ac-
know led gements. Whilst these ceremonies were
progressing salute fired from the battery.
The Military, presentinga beautiful appearance,
were arrayed on the side of the plank k-way nearly
opposite on which the visitors walked to the gate
where the Cortege was formed, the order Of which
was as follows: First, the Presidents mounted
Guard then the Japanese IN hacks the Treaty
in large red Morocco box in square cage was
carried on the top of an ominbus-the Marines
and Military of the District following It, The
music of several bands was playing and the side
walks of Penns ylvania Avenue were crowded.
The windows were all jammed with spectators
and the excitement continued intense throughout
the whole distance from the Navy Yard to the
quarters provided for the Japanese at Wizards,
which they reached about 24 o'clock.
So dense was the crowd of pedestrians that
the carriages with the japanese occupied over
hour in reaching Willard's.- The resident popu-
lation were more excited and enthusiastic than
they ever were before and the march from the
landing to the Hotel perfect ovation. The
reception at Wizards were densely
thronged with the wives, sisters and daughters of
the Gignitares of our Government who assem-
bled there to receive the welcome visitors. Over
an hour was consumed in exchange of courtesies
before the tired travellers were allowed to with
draw to their quarters The crowd is now dis
persng and the military retiring.
The "N1ARTYR" ON ExIuBlrIoN--T very
Rev Daniel Worth L" showed up'' last (Monday)
at the City Assembly Rooms. Nothing was
charged for Admission, though collection was
taken up before the meeting concluded realizing
the sum of i l54 25. There were not many peo-
pie present, but what the meeting lacked in num-
bers was made up in quality, for more fanatical
set scarcely ever gathered together. The Rev
Mr. Worth made long speech detailing his tri-
ais, troubles, and tribulatlons. He claims to be
Native of North Carolina, and gives that as an
excuse for his inccniary acts. Hell per, also
North Carolina renegade, was present and made
a speech. which by no means pleased the audi
ence. He very justly said that speaking was not
in his line but intimated that in writing he could
do wonders He said he had not promised to
speak and that there should be a mutual contract
between the parties which should never be vo-
lated. Helper forgot the little episode about his
employer in North Carolina.
The feature of the meeting, however. was the
presence of faithful son of North Carolina Mr.
A. Perry Sperry W no was there to hear w hat the
