ATCHIsON, July IA large and en-
thusiastic assemblage of people, headed
by band and torch-light procession, pa
raded the streets here tonight in honor
of the return of Senator Ingalls, to his
home in this city. When the procession
reached the corner of Commercial and
Fourth streets, at 8 80, the incessant dis
play of fireworks by the Flambeau club
was splendid. The air was literally i'm
pregnant with light, and loud and pro-
longed cheers of welcome were frequent
as the procession moved south on Fourth
street, and climbed the long hill which
leads to the Senator's residence. The
view from Commercial street was more
magnificent than before. For four squares
it was thrOnged so that to get along with
a buggy was impossible. There seemed
to be no feeling of partisan nature, as
prominent Democrats and Greenbackers
were among the most active in the pro-
cession. On arriving at the grounds
near the residence of Mr.. Ingalls,, on
South street, near Fourth, nOtwithstand-
ing the dark, threatening clouds which
were hurrying towards the city from the
north, the grounds about the premises
wereAdensely packed before any attempt
could be made to organize. The storm,
which was heavy one, arrived, causing
all who could do SO to seek the nearest
shelter. AS many as the house could
hold were taken into Mr.. Ingalls, resi-
dence, where the welcoming address was
delivered by Col. i. Everest, Demo
crat. Senator Ingalls, replied in a few
we'll chosen remarks, thanking the peo-
pie of Atchison and Kansas tor the gen
erOus welcome extended, and regretted
that the weather interfered with the hap
py event. He was pleased to see such
unity of feeling. Said his house would
be thrown open the following evening,
when the remainder of the programme
could be carried out. There was moth
ing political in his speech. The storm
continuing for several hours, kept those
who were in the house willing prisoners,
and the time was spent until eleven
O'Clock in the most enjoyable manner.
