warned. by an anvil salute. to make prepare
tons for the exercises Of the day by the cele-
brAtiOn Of the ratification, by proclamation.
Of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton Of the United States. The colored pop
ulation were on the alert, and there was rush
ing here and there by the men, women and
children of Ethiopia, preparatory to the eIer-
eises in the District Courtroom. AT one
o'clock the people began to assemble, and
everything being in readiness the exercises
were opened by the introduction of the Presi-
dent Of the meeting. W. A. Scott, and pray
er by Psrson J. r. Cook. The President adj
dressed the injecting at some length in a polit-
ical haransue, winding up every sentence
with uncalled-for filings at the Democratic party
and pledging the colored vote to the ''trooly
loil" concern, until he finally exhausted him
self and sank back into the comfortable Judi
cial chair and looked wise as an opossum
during the balance Of the performance.
The Grafton by c. n. Wilson, who has
hardly sufficient African blood in his veins to
be percepable, was moderate in tone, able,
and delivered with ability. Wilson is grad
nate Of Oberlin College, Ohio, is well edu-
Gated. man Of good practical sense, and
a credit to his race, and is unquestionably
one of the ablest colored men in the land
A. c. Dallas read q poem in very good
style.
The address by Thomas Deter was happily
delivered, and portions of his remarks excited
considerable merriment, and was frequently
cheered by the audience. Deter counseled
his colored brethren to be temperate and edu-
cate themselves to n proper understanding of
the responsibilities and duties now devolvins
upon them. that they may discharge them with
credit.
Frances Honeywell sang Marching through
Georgia" and was greeted with loud applause
and a shower Of half dollars. The Elko band
enlivened the entertainment with good music
The whole performance was well conducted,
and our colored citizens may well be proud Of
the manner in which the programme was car
ried out. Not an unpleasant incident &C.
CURED to mar the general pleasure of
the celebrators or provoke unkindness from

A REroHr.-There is a town called Patch
ogue on Long Island, in which the reforma-
tory young ladies Of the period signed an
agreement not to "set up" on a Sunday night
with any gentleman who used tobacco. A
bombshell was thrown into the feminine
camp by the adoption Of a resolution by the
young men not to associate with any young
lady who used paint or powder. At the last
accounts everything WIS going on as usual.

The END OF THE FRNIAN INVASION
The grand Fenian campaign has ended in .
still grander fzzle. The following items,
culled out of q long string of similar ones
in last evenings News, tells the situation:
New YoRK. May 29.-James Gibbons,
Chairman of the Fenian brotherhood, has
issued an address stating that Fenian in
vasion had been undertaken without author
isy, and failure cannot be recognized as de-
feat Of the national organization. He de-
plores the loss Of life and war material. and
the sacrifice Of the results Of years Of tod
and preparation, and says O'Neilps miscon-
duct has postponed only for q short time
Ireland's deliverance,
MONTREAL, May 29.-The Fenian invasion
is ended, and the hopeless men are famished.
They have agreed to discontinue further hos
tile moves ON the American continent; and
nearly all the men here say they never will
have anything more to do with Fenianism,
and viii use their influence against it. The
Selectmen of Malone will give bond Of the
citizens for $1,000. to pay the Fenians' fare
back to Rome.
The railroads offer to take the Fenians
home at half fare, but the leaders can't raise
the funds, and the townspeople will probably
raise the money to ship them off.
This all means that the most ridiculous
faseo Of modern times has just come out Of
the smaller end of the horn.

THE SHOOTING OF A BLAcKGuARD.-
The following item under date of San Fran
cisco, May 30, is from the telegraph column
of the Gold Hill News of last evening:
About 10 o'clock to-day, w. G. Lansing
[of Gold Hill, Nevada,J met Mr.. Hylton,
publisher of the Mazeppa, on Montgomery
street, near Commercial, and shot him with
derringer, the ball entering the left side OF
his face near the base of the jaw. passing
out under the right eye. As soon as the
shot was fired, Lansing remarked that he
had killed the mean beast who had been
publishing his wife as a prostitute, and gave
himself into the custody Of the officers. He
says that Hylton published his wife three
times, and each time promised, on being
demonstrated with, not to repeat the offense.
Numerous offers of bail we're immed lately
made and much sympathy expressed for
Lansing. Hylton, though dis6gured, is not
dangerously injured.

nEN0cRArIC VIRUS"
A San Francisco telegram dated May
2slh says:

SCtn
The reconstructed Board Of Health have de-
termined to force the issue upon the Chinese
immigration question. Ship Norway, with
over 500 Chinese passengers on board, is now
uuarantined ON account ofone case of suppos-
ed small pox reported on board. The Board
of Health have directed that all Cinnamon
ON board of the ship be vaccinated and charg-
ed one dollar each BY physician designated
by the Board. The Chinese say they have
all been innoculated. and many bear marks
of having had small pox upon their faces, and
decline to submit to the vaccination, bellev-
. ing il unnecessary and injurious to health.
them in compelling the Chinese to submit to
vaccination. The consignees of the vessel,
Williams & Blanchard, may contest the val
idity of the Law under which the attempt Is
made to enforce vaccination.
Now this is pressing the "Caucasian"
game q little too far. The idea of the
wholesale vaccination of cargo OF
pock.marked Cinnamon just to enable a
copperhead doctor to make big fee is
the most prepos,erous thing that ever
was heard of. The late Democratic
Legislature of California singled out
Chinese immigrants as subjects for this
compulsory vaccination. They never
thought of compelling such a process
with other, freshly arriving people from
foreign countries when the fact is no.
torious that the Chinese, as a people,
take more effectual precautions against
the spread of small pox than any other
nation. Their children, as an almost
invariable rule, are innoeulated with
small pox-by far a more effectual means
of prevention than thar of vaccination.
Yet the Democracy of California enac,
q special statute compelling these inuoc-
ulated people to submit to vaccination
at the hands of q Democratic doctor,
Who, they may have good reason for
saspecting would not put himself to any
large amount oftrouble to procure pure.
healthy vaccine matter for employment
upon themselves. This provision is
simply outrageous 1t is we'll known
fact that during the recent prevalence
of small pox in San Fraacisco no quar-
ter of that city was SO free from small
pox 90 that where the Chinese mostly
congregate. This inscriptions tyranny
of the California Democracy win force
Congress, in the name of humanity to
pass stringent laws in behalf of the
rights and privileges of the Chinese who
come hither.

SENsIBLE.-A Bill has passed Congress
providing a territorial form of Govern.
ment for the District of Columbia.
There is heap of sense in this move
ment. The District is populous and has
many peculiar wants and should be reg

lies special ward it should be go cir

O,Donovan Rossa's story of his
Prison Lffe-The celebrated Letter
Published I'm :" La Marsefliafse."


From the London telegraph Ed
The following is the text of the letter
said to be written by the convict 0'Don-
ovan Rosa, noticed by our Paris CORE
spondent, and published in La Marseil-
laise of Tuesday last:
'"I have told you Of the hypocrisy Of
these English masters, who, after having
placed me in position that compelled
me to rest upon my knees and elbows in
order to take my food, half starved me,
deprived me Of light, and gave me chains
and a Bible. | make no complaint of
the penalties which my masters require
me 70 endure-my fate is 10 suffer; but
maintain that Ihave the right to acquaint
the world with the treatment 70 which !
am subjected, and that Il is Illegal to
suppress my letter which speaks Of that
treatment The minute precautions
taken by the prison authorities TO pre-
vent me from writing letters are as ride
ulous as they are abhorrent, The most
outrageous proceeding was 70 strip me
naked once day daring several months,
and to examine my arms, legs and ali
parts Of my body. This occurred at
Millbank every day in February and mp to
May, 1867. One day resisted. and then
there came Eve officers. who assailed me
with blows aid tore of my clothing.
Once ! was enabled to send outside :

Messrs. Knox and Pollock, two police
