Demonstrations i'm Washington.

About two thousand colored laborers together
with comparatively few whites, marched IN
procession to the Executive Mansion between
eight and nine o'clock last night for the pur-
pose, it is said, of making complaint that Ger
tain money appropriated by Congress for the
use OF the District Government had been paid
to contractors Instead of the laborers employed
by them. The band, on approaching the por-
tico ofthe Mansion, played Hail to the Chief, ~
when the committee of the laborers came to
the door and through the attendant there ln-
formed the President of the presence of the
crowd The attendant 5000 returned with the
message: The President desires to be ex-
cused.
The spokesman of the party, who had been
acting as attorney for many OF the laborers,
then made speech, in which he said
Felloao Citizens President desires to be
excused Iu other words, the Chief Magis-
trate caouot receive the laborers OF tine District
of Columbia, but we will, as law abiding clti-
zeps, acknowledge bis mandate and retire. lie

the American Republic that President refused
to receive the delegated authority Of 100000
working men.
The crowd here cheered, and voices were
heard, Hit him again. -
