ITSELF "a
Hon. 7. j. Cofey, late assistant Attorney
General of the United States was then intro
dueed and in q speech Of an hours length
logically treated the questions nov affecting
the people, examined the status Of the late
rebellious states, referred to the provisional
governments established by Congress, the
rights Of the eonquerors, the duties Of sub
dued beliigerents, and the relations now sub
sistiBg between these territories and the
legislative power. At the conclusion of his
address Mr.. Coffey made an earnest appeal to
the people of this District TO elect their local
standard bearer, the Hon John Cessna to Con-
gress, showed the interest manifested 10 our
success in Philadelphia, and in all portions Of
the country. His illusions to Mr.. Cessna
were greeted with Tremendous cheers.
Col Geo. F. Mcfarland, known and be-
loved throughou. the Commonwealth as the
Superintendent Of the Soldiers Orphans
Schools, was rapturously applauded on ma
king bis appearance, supporting himself on
his remaining shattered limb, having lost the
other on the field Of Gettysburg. Right man
fully did the brave soldier plead in behalf of
General Grant. Standing there a monument
Of rebel inhumanity and butehery, who could
withstand his doubIy eloquent appeals to his
late comrades in arms to rally round the
standard Of Ulysses S. Grant. The appear
anee Of such a gallant citizen was singing
rebnke 10 the miserable rebel crew that yell
ed obedience to the picked beauties from Ma
ryland, and cheered the Louisiana Tigers that
cracked their whips over the tender backs Of
funny Democrats in our town at theIr recent
gatherings
Hon. John Cessna being loudly called for
made brief, earnest speech, planting him
self squarely ou the principles for which all
loyal men are now battling.
