National Decoration Day.

A PROPOSITION FOR THE COLORED IMAM
TRY TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE CON-
/ FEDERATE DEAD.
Last Wednesday being N ational Decora-
ton day, the graves Of the Union soldiers
in the National cemetery were decorated
with flowers by the colored soldiers and
citizens of Stanton. The procession, I'M
der Chief Marshal Willard Graves, was
formed on Augusta street at o CLOCK and
included the two colored infantry COM
panies- the Stanton Life Guard. and
Garfield Blues. A very large number of
neatly dressed colored children were in
the line and marched to the music. AT the
cemetery there was singing.
The orator OF the day was Rev. J. Hud-
son Riddlck, pastor of the Augusta Street
| (colored) M. E. Church. In his address
he called the attention of the colored peo-
pie to the fact that during the last eighteen
years he had been 10 public life and had
delivered addresses at the decoration of
the graves of the Union soldiers at Hamp-
ton, Culpeper, Winchester and Baltimore,
but this was the first place at which he
had seen the white Republicans hold aloof
from the colored people on an occasion
fraught with 80 much patriotism. He did
not ask, and had never asked, that the
white Republicans should fall into line
with the blacks, but he did ask, and he
thought it their duty to their country and
to their colored fellow citizens, that
they should at least countenance their
| national decoration ceremonies by their
presence. These white Republicans
| were not always absent. On election
occasions they were ever present and
were grabbing for the vote of the colored
man. The speaker thought the presence of
! the white Republicans il for moth
ing else, would be at least courteous re.
cognition Of the men to whom they owed
their Office. In higher sense they should
be present to testify their appreciation of
the dead to whom they owed the existence
of the government Of which they were now
the employees.
At the close of his address the orator
turned to the colored troops around the
speakers stand and said that among
many numerous signs of the rapid growth
of amity since the late war, the visit of the
5th Virginia veterans to Niagara last
week was not among the least. He thought
that every individual citizen, white or
black, should add his mite to encourage
the growth of this feeling and he. would
read a resolution to this end expressing a
desire by the two colored military compa-
MES present,to march in the line of trooIs
in Staunton on June 9th. and join in the
ceremonies in honor Of the Confederate
dead on that day. The eolored troops
would ask no prominence in the ceremo..
MES nor to participate in the decoration,
but would be content to let their presence
in rear of the white troops on that day
testify their feelings in the matter.
The resolution was adopted without dis
senting voice.
After the decoration of the Union graves
the large gathering returned to town.

Matthews Polled Herd,

During the week a reporter of the Price
Current visited River View Park, where
MIR. A. B. Matthews has his recent impor--
t,tiOns Of Polled Angus and Galloway cat
tie quartered. These are the cattle which
will be offered at Mr.. Matthews public sale
IN connection with Geary Bros, Of London,
Canada, at the park on April the llth and
18th. MIR. Mathews offerings comprise
120 head, 81 of which arrived at Kansas
City Oh Wednesday, March 14th from
Portland Me-. where they had been in quar-
antine since their arrival from Scotland.
They came through from Portland on COM
mon cattle cars and were nine days on the
road without unloading. Considering the
long ride they were i'll fine condition on ar
rival.
The balance of the 100 head are partially
Of Mr.. Matthew'S own raising and partially
from his previous importation. We are as
sured by Mr.. Matthews that all his cattle
are in good condition and are as whole as
fine a lot of Polled Angus and Galloways as
can be found in the country. About one
half Of the nsmber are young bulls, fit for
service this spling, and fair share Of the
balance cows that are in calf or have calves
by their side, or both. The bulk of the
offerings were selected by Mr.. Matthews
himself from the herds of the most promi-
nent breeders of Scotland, and great care
was exercised in obtaining animals of good
individual merit. AS before stated the sale
will take place "Wednesday and Thursday
April 11th and 18th, and parties in want ol
these cattle should not fail to be i'm attend
arce, as from tile numbers offered buyers
can undoubtedly suit themselves as to price
and quality. We fear Mr. Matthews, fol
his own good, is putting too many of these
cattle on the market at one time, but if Il
is bad for him it is good for the buyers
1T is an i'll wind that blows no one any
good. City Price Current.
