NEGRO MILITARY AT NEW YORK.

. Among the features of the celebra-
tion of the fourth of July at New York
City, was the parade of negro regiment
through the streets, followed by great
crowds, who cheered the dusEy ranks in
an uprorious manner. And what IS
significant and remarkable, they were
formally reviewed by Gen. Tweed, a
Tammany Hall Democratic leader, and
received from the balcony of Blossom
Club House by numerous other great
lights of New York Democracy. Demo-
Gratis, too, subscribed for their uniforms,
paid for their music, and Democratic
orators urged them to turn out, on this,
their first military parade, on the great
fourth in the great Democratic City.
The Nep York ISun says they gave
the utmost satisfaction in their evolu-
tions, and that their dress uniforms and
martial appearance were enc.
After the review, Gen. Tweed beck
oued Col. Taylor, (their colored COM
mander), and grasping his hand warm
ly said. 81 congratulate you on the
success Of your command. Wont you
come in ?" [They were at the Blossom
Club House.] The Colonel wen. in and
partook Of the hospitality of the Bios
SONS, and returned with genial smile
on his face.
After paradiug through the most
prominent streets, they repaired to the
Almory, where banquet had been pre-
pared for them by the Lincoln Club.
Here the Colonel addressed his dark
hewed command aud the company as
sembled. Abiding 10 the cry that had
been raised with regard to the regiment
having been sold TO the Democratic par.
ty, he said, "Geu. Tweed, Senator
Tweed, Col. Fellows, and those men
"who are said to have bought us, came
forward and offered us money to help
" 10 the time Of our distress. Time aud
" time again it has been said that these
e" men bought US for the Democratic
2;icket 1t is false. The black man
"was huugry-these men came and
" said, we will help you! They never
=" asked for our votes. But it is not in
Z" the heart OF the black man to go back
g on his beuefactors. If.he Republican
" party are angry with the Democrats
" for helping US, why in Co.'s name
" didn't they come coward aud he lp Us
" themselves"
The New York Democrats have thus
not only recognized negroes as men and
brethren, possessing the same rights aud
privileges as white men, but they have
gone out Of sheir way to do it-for they
we're secure in the possession Of the
control Of the elections Of their City and
State, By heavy majorisies.

audience, to greet the Literary orator
Gen. joHN 9. PREsToN.s His theme
was peculiarly apostle: In substance,
the power Of christianity in the world,
and szs,csf4ihre of all systems aud
govsents, which rest not upon this
great adamental God given truth and
faith. The address Sas rich in histori-
cal illustration and beauty Of figure, aad
wide ID scope. The dramatic tread Of
the. .spaaker,4as he paced to and fro,
his flowing white locks, his stately form,
his flashing eye, were alike impressive,
and these, when qu;ckeued and stirred
by the bursts Of bis oratofy, seemed to
move every heart to impulsiye action.
He paid glowing tribute to JoHN Wss'
LEY. skesched our present deplorable
condition. under existing rule and closed
with the earnest, prophetic declaration
(standing, as be said he did, upon the
verge Of the grave, without political
hopes or prospect before him. that our
loved Southland would yet be free.

by J. WASHINGTON BoyD, Of Laurens.
These debates exhibited much research

speakers, and 49, highly creditable 70
them.
Confsrring diplomatic honors Of The

Casey and Packard on the Defensive
Card from General Heron.

We copy the following dispatches from
the New York Tribune of Friday:
| CINCINNATI, August 17.-Confdential dis
| patches to the President, signed by Casey
| and Packard. of New Orleans, were shown
| to the passengers on the train from the
| South this morning by a New York Demo
| crat, who was the bearer of them. The dis
| patches state that the reason for making
use of troops was that Governor Warmoth' s
friends we're too numerous and threatening.
and that though troops were present, their
arms were stacked and not used. Friends
OF the State administration are styled row.
dies, while the federal officers are called
respectable men and better Republicans
than their opponents. Evident anxiety is
shown and fear lest they lose their places.
Resort is had to hard names and abuse of
opponents as a means of diverting attention
from their own great blunders. The charge
is also made that Governor Warmoth and
his friends are unfriendly to the President;
hence the necessity of putting them down.
The public exhibition of the dispatches in
railroad Car is my only apology for speak
ing of their contents. The passengers con-
sidered them very silly and undignified.
To the Editor of the Tribune.
SIR-The card of United States Marshal
Packard in the Tribune of the fourteenth
instant is simply an avoidance of the truth
and an effort to relieve the federal officials
here of the odium they deserves. Governor
WarIhbth had no intention of using the po-
lice, either at the Customhouse or at any
other place selected for the convention, as |
personally know. On the evening OF the.
seventh instant Marshal Packard stated to
General Campbell, Jadge Dibble, and Mr..
Fish of the REPUBLICAN, that he had the
highest authority in the land for using the
Customhouse and troops. and has since
stated that General Grant authorized it,
The order for troops was obtained from
General Reynolds, Marshal Packard having
telegraphed him that an attack from thugs
and ''bruisers" upon the Republican conven-
ton was feared. General Reynolds did not
knew the convention was to meet at the
Customhouse, and that the difficulty was
simply between two sets of delegates. |
further state-tkat Marshal Packard and his
abettOrs conspired with certain roughs of
the lowest order to aid them in case of
trouble, in which Governor Warmoth and
his leading friends were to have been killed

Under this heading the 81. James Sentinel
of which Messrs. George E. Bovee, Seere
tary of State, and Linden E. Bentley arr
proprietors, and Linden Z. Bentley is edi
tor, comes to US with reasons for withdraw
ing support from the ring which runs the
New Orleans Customhouse. The Sentine
now accords to Governor Warmoth and his
friends far greater desire to promote the
advancement of Republican principles than
is displayed by the opposition.
We expect soon to see the entire Repub-
ican press of Louisiana unit in the sup
port of Governor Warmoth and his State
policy. Subjoined is the article referred to:
We commend to the attention of our
readers the editorial on 'sThe two conyen-
tions," which appears in this issue, for in it
they will find in part our justification for
withdrawing our support from the ring
which runs the New Orleans Customhouse
and which attempted to prevent an express
sion of the popular will by bringing United
States soldiers into requisitlon to overawe
a portion of the delegates elected to Re-
publican State con .ention.
Our sole aim is to contribute our mite to-
ward preserving 1.-THE unity Of the great
Republican party and insuring its success
