Picnic at Jones' Chapel.

In response to an invitation to
attend a meeting OF the colored
pupils, teachers and friends of Jones
Chapel Sunday school, on Satur day
last, representative of the CITIZEN
in company with our genial and
worthy candidate for Chancery
Clerk, started from Caution after an
early break fast, and All hours drive
brought us to the house of our lib
eral and big>sOuled friend Hon. D..
II. Cameron. After "a short rest
and refreshments, we resumed our
journey, and another hours pleas
ant tide through improved farms
and fine crops, drew us up to Jones'
Chapel. Our early start and rapid
drive had brought us on the grounds
before the picnicers had gathered.
In about two hours some three hun
dred or more had arrived, and the
exercises began. Speeches were
made by Rev. Jordan Williams,
Rev. DR.. Toles, Richard Barnes, j.
q. Wood and others on education
and kind ed Subjects. The speech
es were entertaining and the advice
given the laboring class wise and
wholesome. w. b. Simmons, the
orator of the day, addressed in an
appropriate and creditable manner
tire Benevolent Societies of which
he is a member. The exercises of
the pupils showed application on
their part, and reflected credit upon
their tutors. And right here we
desire to say that we never saw so
large a number of people congre-
gated together under similar cir
cumstances, conduct themselves
with more order and decor um.
Health, plenty, contenrment and
pleasure seemed to abound OH every
hand. The crops were good, better
than we have seen them for ten
years, and these people were better
dressed than any class of tenantry
In any State or country we have
ever seen. Not word of Kansas,
and little talk of politics did we
hear, except they have their per-
sonal preferences, and the magnet
ism of our young friends Singleton
and Bailey seems to have captured
them with a unanimity that is sur.
prising. We are proud of the con-
duct and prospects of the cOlored
people of that vicinity, and thank
them for their kind invitation and
polite attentions. We met our
friends Col. Kearney and Dave
Jiggetts upon the grounds, and
were assured by them that the In
dependent struggle, even in this
supposed stronghold, is farce.

KELLOGG -SPOFFORD.
A Slippery Witness to be Prosecu.
ted.

WASHINGTON, June l2.-The com
mlttee on privileges and elections this
morning resumed the Kellogg -Spof
ford case. Mr.. Merrick said he had
no further use for DeLacy as wit
ness. As this witness had been ar.
rested for perjury, he (Merrick) had
asked the district attorney the privi-
lege of assisting in the prosecution,
should he be indicted.
Mr.. Hoar, alluding to the criminal
charge, said it was an extraordinary
proceeding.
Chairman-The committee has
nothing to do with this matter.
Mr.. Hoar-I think it has.
Mr.. llouston-When it comes up
here we can argue it.
Mr.. Hoar-We will argue it when
it seems proper.
Mr.. Merrlck said DeLacy was one
of his witnesses.
Mr.. Hoar remarked that it was a
universal rule while any cause was
pending the criminal was never used
as a means of coercion of witnesses,
and when such witness was arrested,
to decline further prosecution until
the cause out of which the oAense
arose was cancelled.
The colloquy here closed.
