The following kilograms we copy from
the, New Orleans Pacayans of Tuesday.
They were taken by that journal from St. |
Louis papers Of the 9Th, and although not
as late as the Northern dispatches pub
lished in the Gozette and Comet Of Tuesday, |
they embody a number Of interesting |
items not previously received:
The Fourth Ia Washington.
WAsHINsroN, July 5.--The emancipa- |
ton Jubilee of the Fourth was great sue |
cess, the proceeds of which have been rep |
resented as pertaining to the national
m monum ent, will be devoted to the erection
of a seminary for the education of colored
people. Among them were only few
people excepting those on the stand. All
the arrangements were well made. Sena-
tor Wilson and Gov. Hahn, of Louisiana,
| were their principal orators, the latter tax
| Ing stronger ground than ever before in
favor of negro suffrage. He said in con-
clusion "My friends, there 10 to be
/ regular army maintained in the South, 30
! the Southerners may become accustomed
l
the area of liberty in any part Of the
world, whoever he may be, may proudly
| exclaim, am an American citizen" 81
Senator Wilson, who made the longest
speech, said: The Congress Of the United
| States has placed law upon its statute
books forever prohibiting any rebel from
| holding any Office of honor, profit or
en- molument, in the civil, military or naval
service of the United States. You have
laws that do not allow black men to vote,
and while am proud to compromise gem
orally, may be inclined to agree to this
one if you gentlemen of the South will al
low black men to vote, while you hold
Office under the new constitution, but this
must be by enactment. The pardoning
power does not confer this. y
The Celebration in New York.
The eighty ninth anniversary of cur in
dependence was observed here yesterday
with all the eclat New York could give
the occasion. The military display con-
sisted of twenty five regiments of infantry,
cavalry and artillery, accompanied by
thirteen bands, and was received with the
greatest enthusiasm along the line of
: march.
The shipping in the harbor was finely
decorated, and public and private dwell
| ings were hung with flags and streamers.
The parks and streets we're full of fair wo-
men and brave men, and in the evening 9
the fireworks in the various squares and
. other localities closed the day in blaze OF
glory.
