A Coiored vans speech.

The following report OF speech made by
James Brooks, cjlored MAJ, Il, Inc barbecue
given to The Conservative coloraf voters near
Fredericksburg on Saturday last, notice Of
which appeared ia yesterdays Gazette, is from
the Ledger:
you have heard more ana better than |
can tell you We are here to enjoy a feast over
Ignorance and prejudice. We are told by the
opposition that we cheated them. Where did
the cheat start? We are all familiar with the
Petersburg Convention which laid the platform
that Wells was to walk over on. He thought
that there were p, 900 Vircinians whose shack
els bound them so fast that their voices would
not be heard but political volcano bursted
and threw its lava from the mountains down to
the tide water counties, Maryc and others
came forth, and the cars began 20 move. And
now they call it Democratic victory. Wells
would not have taken the stand he did, but be
thought the old politicians would be nothing,
and he had Lieutenant Governor Harrls, a
colored man, placed on the ticket, and thought
upon that he would get through.
The cars were heard coming through the
tunnels of the mountains. Wells said hold CIR,
| am Il passenger on that train. No, said
Walker, you are not, and as the ear passed
and taey landed Walker in the Capitol. They
say you have voted your freedom away, but [
know they don't believe it themselves. Where
did liberty start? On this continent BY Henry,
Washington and others, and the tree grew up
and expanded, and all the nations OF the earth
came over to enjoy the freedom it gave. 1t
has torn Kings from their thrones aud caused
empires 70 totter Next Congress made law
giving you the right to vote, and these pew
corners say when you votc right they will let
you loose. These men made q constitution
that denied the whites vote, and now they
are mad with US because we voted down the
clauses II we were going to sea and were to
find vessel well fitted out, q good captain and
accommodating crew, and were to see an old
baroue with a mean captain and sorry crew,
we would not hesitate to make our choice. We
took the good vessel with Walker as our cap
tain and we have started on our voyage.
This is the ship of State, and our best officers
arc those who have been tried and made good
officers OF the State, and | will 90 teeth and
toe nails Tor such men as Mr., Jack Margc, and
Mr.. Hcrndon, and say Amen"

GOOD ADVICE. The temptations to indulge
in frequent drinks OF iced water and other
iced beverages. and those containing stimu
ants, especially spirituous liquors, should be
etrenuousIy resisted. Cool water, without ice,
such as may be obtained from wells, is the
safest cooling drink in hot weather, and this
should be taken in sips instead of long draughts.

MIR. Boutwell, and the Va. Election.

Washington despatch to the New 1orI'
Evening Post says:
"There is reason for believing that Mr.. Bout
we'll s position in regard to the Virginia cleo
ton has been misstated in the public press.
To his personal friends he has not expressed
any intention of opposing the admission OF Viz
GINA to representation IN the next Congress-
but on the contrary, holds that as the election
was fairly conducted. and in accordance with
the Reconstruction acts of Congress, no just
cause exists for longer refusing the State voice
in the national councils. The ratification OF
the Fifteenth Amendment is insured by the re-
suit of the election Just held, and as the danger
of allowing ex'Rebels political rights which
existed when the Reconstruction laws were
framed-has passed away, it would be simply
an act Of consistency on the part OF the Repub-
licans to accept and abide by his.result."
WASHINGTON IrEMs-The grand jury, has

The Jury rendered verdict to that effect after
deliberaton of less than FIVE minutes, When
the verdict was rendered the court room was
crowded with spectators, nearly all of whom were
colored people. The crowd showed DISPOSE
ton to applaud, but this attempt was prompt;

was insanity. The homicide it will be remem-
bered was committed in respectable boarding
house, where the prisoner was servant and
her victim boarder. She crushed his skull

sofa.
