Unwilling of the Lincoln statue.

ASHINGTON, April 1.-THE un-
yelling of Lincon's statue at LincOla
Square was the feature of to-day's hoii-
day. The colored people weie out in
full force. The procession was long,
including cOlored troops, Knight Tenn
plars, knights of st. Augustine, the
Sons Of Purity, Sons of Levi, Good Sa-
maritans, Labor League, and other
uniformed benevolent associations ac-
cOmpaDied by music. There was an
immense assembly at the park. The
statue, covered with flags, was The
great object of interest. The first con-
tlibution to the statue fund was made
the morning after the assassination of
President Lincoln by Charlotte Scott,
a cOlOred woman, of Marietta, Ohio,
who gave five dollars. The original
cost OF the monument, 81 900 and other
incidental expenses have been all paid
by subscriptions by the colored people.
The last Congress appropriated So 000
for the pedestal and the statue was al
lowed to pass the custom house free of
duty. 1t is of bronze and is II feet
high, resting upon a pedestal 10 feet
high. 1t represents Mr.. Lincoln stand
ing erect with the proclamation OF
emancipation in his lett hand while
his right hand is outstretched over q
kneeliDg figure of a slave from whose
limbs the shackles have just been freed.
Upon the base of the monument is the
word "Evangelistic." There were on
the speakers stand the President,
members of the Cabinet, Justices of the
Supreme Court, Foreign Ministers,
Senators, Representatives and other
persons of prominence.
After prayer, music by the Marine
Band, 'Hail Columbia, D." and the read
ing of The emancipation proclamation,
Prof. LGngdOn finally accepted the
statue in behalf of the entire nation,
and then called upon President Grant
to unveil it. Prolonged applause greet
ed the words of the speaker and in
creased when the President stepped to
the front and grasped the rope that
was attached to the flag yelling the
statue, and amidst deafeDing cheers of
the multitude, the music and booming
of the cannon, the beautiful monument
stood unveiled. y poem was read,
composed by Miss Cornelia Ray, (coI-
ored) of New York. Frederick Douglass
was then introduced amid great ap-
plause, and delivered an eloquent ora
tion. AT its conclusion the procession
returned to the City Hall, and was dis
missed.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE-It Is a source
of qualification 10 the party at large as

l.. DaufOrd has reCOnsidered his deter

opportunity 10 observe the conduct OF
affairs here; and | believe that, while
his name has not figured 50 cOnSpicu-
ously I'm the Record as that OF many
others, Mr.. Danford has done more for
the Republican party this session than
any other man in Congress. | speak
of deeds, not words. lie Is absolutely
the only Republican who pretends to
try 10 obtain fair bearing Tor the par
Is in the numerous investigations now
in progress. TLis fact is notorious
here, and has often been mentioned by
the leading newspapers. He i mem-
ber of the com slittee on Naval Affairs,
and on Expenditures in the War De
partment-the two committees which
have had the hardest work to do this
session-and he has had ODattie alCne
with the whole Democratic party. This
battle has been conducted, on his part,
with such rare ability, shreWdness ,ano
good Judgment as to win for him the
appreciation of his friends and the re-
spect Of his enemies. 1t is not mat
ter of surprise, then, that Mr.. DanfOrd
consulting his own inclinations, should
desire to return 10 private life, for he is
the hardest worked man in Congress.
think that nothing bat the plainly
and earnestly exrr, sod wish of his
constituents, wh.cn u.- b--u given to
him in hundreds Il l..,rrs and person
al solicitations, could have induced
him to accept the position again.
There are but two things which jus
tify constituency in retiring mem
ber-incapacity and misconduct. The
.clamor of opponents for my turn i
not sufficient; the desire Of the member
to retire is not sufficient. The art OF
making laws must be learned, and all
Legislators must serve an apprentice

fer5 an experienced lawyer, especially
if he can have one at the same price
that an inexperienced one will cost.
Three years of service has made Mr..
Danford and active an influential MEM

with his integrity and great personal
popularity, will doubtless cause our
people to keep him in his present place
as long as it is in their power TO 40 50.
