posed of several companies of Fighting Boys in
Blue, made up of Union soldiers, companies
Of Grant Corps of Tanners, OF Clrpet-baggers,
cavalry and wagons. The companies on foot
were handsomely uniformed and carried their
torches, TO many of which small flags Were at
tached. The Carpet baggers, grotesquely
dressed, formed an attractive fe iture of the
procession. A wagon bearing an immense flag,
and tannery in operation, and another fitted
up with printing press in operation and
labelled ''Celfax, the Printer, attracted much
attention. The whole procession was over an
nour passing given point. All along the line
the citizens gathered in great numbers. Flags
were displayed in great proiusion from ne .rly
all the residences. interspersed with wreathed
Colfax.
Col. Maynard, Of Tenn, and Paul Stroback,
member OF the Alabama Legislature, addressed
a considerable crowd from one stand while
Gov. Hartman and Schuyler Colfax made ad-
dresses from the main stand. Col. Pratt intro
duced Schuyler Colfax as the next Vice Pres.
ident OF the United States. The vast audience,
with taces be Inning with unfeigned delight and
pride, welcomed their former Representative
by waving handkerchIefs and hats, and with
cheers that rent the air. Mr.. Colfax said:
Mr.. President Il was about TO say Mr..

lCries OF that's so.''l Ladies and gentlemen
No, that is too cold term TO use in addressing
you. Since the beginning of the Con gressional
vacation, have wandered In the great West in
quest of health and rest. have climbed the
great mountains whose SUBMITS divide the
waters of two seas; have seen many faces and
looked upon many scenes of grandeur and
be auty, but nowhere have i found any place
nor any people that seems so like my home as
here in my old Ninth District. How much /
owe 10 you can never tell. How much love
you Tor the manner IN which you have loved
ana encouraged me, Is beyond my power of
expression. To you owe all that am. Ever
faithful and true. ever affectionate and tender
defending me when attacked, you have sur
rounded me with a Gordon of hearts that have
always sustained If forget you must be the
most migrate. ul OF men. II has been nv aim,
as II shall continue te be, to show nv gratitude
by faithful observance of my pledges TO You
Mr.. Colfax continued for an hour, and at the
close OF his speech three rousing cheers were
given for Colflx, and three for Grant and Col
fax and the whole party

a COLORED CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS FROM

NATION IN a circular. from which the following
come 10 test the professions End principles Of
those who now control the Republican party
of Louisiana and that il is a sacred duty 10
themselves (the colored peOple) to see that the
coisred race is net SOLD out by q few trad ng,
treacherous white Republicans in Louisiana,
as II has been In Georgia This State is enti-
tied TO seven represen tatives in Congress. Are
not the colored people entitled to at least two
out of this n0-nberl Is il not our duty to see
that at least two colored citizens selected 10
represent In Congress the ninety thousand col
ored voters IN Louisiana. The ballot means
equal representation as well as equal rights,
and If men are still TO be debarred from the
halls OF Congress, or even the'WhIie House, on
account Of the color of their faces, then recop-
strucfion and kepublicanism are lamentable
faiiures. The reward OF the long oppresse
race Will not be adequate, and the great eau e
Of equal nights will not be finished until the
colored man Is seen in every department of
this Government. II is necessary that the
Forty first Congressishould possess more back
bone than the present one, in order 10 fix
plain provision in the supreme law of the Re-
public which shall confer the ballot on every
citizen, regardless OF race or color, North or
South, East or West.

son and was driven direct to LocIst Point.
Here, yelled and unknown to the large crowd
on the pier, the widow and son of the late Pres
ident went on board the steamship Baltimore
