THE CELEBRATION OF THE COL.
ORED PEOPLE.

The colored people yesterday celebrated
the anniversary Of the abolition Of slavery in
the District Of Columbia, having postponed
the demonstration from last Monday on &c
count Of the weather. The day was one Of
unusual loyeliness, and the population spe-
cially interested in the event honored the
day Of their liberation by making it one Of
general rejoicing. The utmost decorum pre-
vailed, and the procession, made up princi-
pally Of military, Masonic, Odd Fellow, and
other associations, was very creditable in its
appearance, and received from all sides praise
and respect Pennsylvania avenue was
crowded with an outpouring Of the freed race;
but no disrespect or insult was offered TO our
colored citizens. Indeed, their behavior was
such as TO command universal commentator.
The procession was received by THE Pass.

tesy within his power. No one was NOR
gratifed by the responsibility and enthusiasts,
Of the demonstration than THE PkEs'RBNr
Nothing so clearly proves the ~Onsstrt1l
change in public sentiment. and the ereai
advance Of the erlored race, than their "a
rade yesterday in the national capital, thS
reception and attention they received from
the highest officer Of the Government, ant
the significant respect everywhere EXTENDED
to them. We doubt if fifteen thousand peo
pie of any race could gather to celebrate the
day of their deliverance and exhibit so mucl
order, sobriety, and good conduct as the col
ored citizens did yesterday. 1t is by thei
own efforts and their own behavior that thei
position is to be established and their futur,
achieved, and not by the noisy champions
who trade politically on their condition an,
chances.
We could not but contrast the time when
in the midst of fierce opposition, we contrib
uted to herald the passage of the bill abo
ishing slavery in this District four years ag
by the salute of the booming cannon, whe

Russian CIemency In Favor OF tho United
Starea.

Col. JULIAN ALLEN, Of New York. foreigner by
birth, who exerted himself nObly in behalf of our
Government during the rebellion, has lately had the
satisfaction Of rescuing his half brother, young
Pole named MICHAEL MAYENDoRFF, from exile in
Siberia through the fundamentally Of President
JoHSsos and our Minister to Russia, Gen, CAssIUs
NJ. CLAY. MAYEsDORFP, who was somehow iden'
tilted with the Polish revolution, was arrested at
the sge Of sixteen years. and exiled to Siberia with
three hundred other political prisoners. His re-
lease at the instance of our Government Is a cir.
cumstance without parallel we believe, and as an
exceptional case is quite significant of the good
feeling entertained toward the United States by
Russia
Young MAYEsDoRFF was eight months in march
ing from Poland to Siberia with his armed escort
but when the order for his release presented be
was brought to St. Petersburg by post in thirteen
days His exile lasted eighteen months. On biz
arrival in St. Petersburg he was presented with 4
passport giving him the freedom of all the Russian
dominions, signed by the civil and military Cover
nor of St. Petersburg whose titles occupy hftoer

the persons rendering the serenade to President
johnson were not members of the ''soldiers' and

given by that organization as such, but the asser
tion that the serenade was not rendered by loyA

the late war
