speech ofJudEe Chase At the Dedies,-
ton OF the Normal High school
Building for ColOEed Persons.
New York, Nov. l6.-The Herald s
Richmond specials says: Chief Justice
ChRse was present tonight in Rich
mond at the dedication OF the Normal
High School building for colored ,per-
sons, and delivered an address.
He said by the grace of God, the fet-
tsrs had been struck from the limbs of
millions Of slaves, aud they had be-
come free. Having become freedmen,
they had now become citizens, with all
of the responsibilities and privileges OF
citizens. Being citizens, il was neces-
sAry that they should be educated to
accomplish this end, teachers at first
came from the North; then sects were
formed to further the object, and he
was glad to know that the great society
of which he had the honor to be PFesi-
dent, had been Instrumental In erecting
the building which was being. dedi-
Gated, and which he hoped would ac-
complish- much good. The work OF
educating freedmen was Unjust begun,
but by organized efforts, much
would be enforced. The day
was not far distant when the States Of
the South would have system OF free
schools in which all might be educa-
ted. Schools in which there would be
no distinction. He hoped the day was
not far distant when the hills and the
valleys of the South would be glorified
and blessed by school houses. The
work of educating the colored people
had commenced and Wonld not stop.
1t should not go backward, but would
be pushed forward TILL all of them were
educated and christianiZed. He stated
that Hunnicut had an interview with
Judge Chase last night and received
severe castiRatiOn from him for his eX-
treme radical utterances. He was told
he misrepresented the party and
brought it-into discredlt in the States.
The caucusing between Judge Chase
and those of his party who support his
claims for the Presidential nomination
in this State, was continued to-day and
extreme recticenee marked their course.
