SA TURD A TS TELEGRAMS. THE LUXEMBOURG TREATY. EXl'ECTKD RATIFICATION OF THE ACTION OF TUB PEACH COKGKEKS. Queen's Hotel, London, May 11. The arti cles of treaty of settlement of the Luxembourg question, drafted by the representatives of the great powers assembled in the Peace Con gress in this city, have been engrossed in proper diplomatic form, and it is expected, indeed it may be said is certain, that this important international State paper will be duly signed and ratified to-day. THE WARASPECT. FRANCE, (1KRMAKY, AND RUSSIA STILL ARMING VICTORIA TO MAKE -ANOTHER EFFORT FOR PEACE AN ENGLISH PLAN OF DISARMAMENT AND A GENERAL CONGRESS, KTC. Qubkm's Hotel, London, May 11. Notwith standing the apparently highly satisfactory issue of the Peace Congress held in this city, and the pleasing solution of the Luxembourg question by treaty arrangement, fears are entertained and generally expressed that war has been merely postponed by the work of the diplomatists. Preparations for war are still actively car ried on in France, Germany, Russia, and Greece. It is said to-day that, before the final closing and dissolution of the Peace Congress, a pro posal is likely to be addressed by England to all the powers inclined to belligerent action, in which Queen Victoria will recommend and urge a general disarmament. Should the English proposal be entertained, a congress of all the great powers will possibly assemble here in order to secure its formal adoption and execution recording to a uniform plan. Should the proposal be made, even by the Queen of Great Britain, it is not likely to result in a success in attaining the object con templated the maintenance of peace. THE EASTERN QUESTION. WAB rRF.r A RATIONS IN GREECE MILITARY CON SCRIPTION AND LARGE INCREASE OF TUB ARMY WAR VESSELS ORDERED IN TUB UNITED STATES. Athens, May 11. The fourth military con scription ordered during the present year has been put in force, and results in giving an in crease of thirty thousand men to the Greek army. The condition of the navy and actual strength of the kingdom at sea engage also the serious consideration of the Government. Seven new war vessels have just been ordered in the TTnited States and England. Large en rolments of seamen have been contemplated for some time past, and are now in process of completion. PRUSSIA. DEATH OF THB TJK1TED STATES MINISTER IN BERLIN. Berlin, May 11. The Hon. Joseph A. "Wright, of Indiana, more familiarly known as Governor Wright, United States Minister to the Court of Prussia, did in this city at 8 o'clock this morning, of dropsy. Mr. Wright had been ailing severely for Borne months past, and laid at the point of death a few days since. He rallied, however, for a short time, and was regarded as approach ing a convalescence which would permit his removal to the waters of Carlsruhe. He com menced to Bink last night, and expired thia morning. Mr. Wright was. I believe, very acceptable. both personally and in his official capacity, to the King or J'russia ana ms auinei. WAR OR PEACE ? THE TRUSSIAN PARLIAMENT SPEECH OK THB KIUj THE UNION OF NORTH AND SOUTH GER MANY. The ODenine of the Prussian Diet for an ex traordinrv session took place in Berlin, April 29, in the White Hall. About two hundred and fifty members were present. In the diplomatic box were the representatives of England, Russia, the Hanse Towns, Hesse Darmstadt, and Saxony. The court box was unoccupied. King William was accompanied by the Crown Prince, Prince riwenoktharles, Prince Albrecht, Prince Alexander, and Prince George of Prussia, Prince Augustas of Wur temburg, and Duke William of Meoklenburg Schwerin. His Majesty, whe was received with cheers on entering the hal, delivered the following speech from the throne; Illustrious, Noble, and Honorable Gentlemen of both Houses of the Diet: A conxtltutton of the North Germany Confederation, ty wblcn Ilia united aud vigorous development ol the nation appears secured, baa Issued from the deliberandi of the Parliament, to wblcb the Prussian people sent us representatives Id conformity with too law approved by you. I have summoned yon around Diy tbroue to submit this con stitution to your decision. The tank of national unity, which tb Government commenced with your co-ope-xatlon, Is now to be concluded by your assent. Upon this twaia the protection ol lederal territory, the cure oi common riguia auu oi tue prosperity 01 me people, will henceforth be guaranteed by the collective popu lation of Northern (iermaoy aud their government u lirm community. , . , ..... By tbe Introduction of the Federal Constitution the privileges ef the representatives ot Individual states will be subject to unavoidable restrictions In all those department wbicn will be In luture subordinate to the general development. But the people Itaeir will I not have to forfeit any of tbe rights It has nllberte noseesaed. It will merely transfer their maintenance to us representatives In tbe more extended cgmonu- WThi'consent of the freely elected deputies of tbe en tire people will still be requisite to every law In tbe North German Confederation. Provision has been made by tbe federal Constitution In all respects that those rights, tbe exercise of which the various repre sentations abandon In favor ol the new oommunlty of shall be transferred In M MMH K U tnwJ i'r.lMi. Tie serore foundation of national Independence, power, am prosperity shall go hand In hand with the development of German rights and constitutional Institution. My Government entertain tbe sshu ranre that both Houses oi the Diet, correctly nppre rlHtlng the urgent national neocsilty of speedily set ting the tank b lore us. will readily afford their a. smtanre to Its completion. Gentlemen, the newly-formed Confederation at present only includes the States of North Germany, but an Intimate national community will always unite them with the Mouth German states. The tirm rela tions my Government concluded for offensive and defensive purposes with those Mates as early as last autumn will have to be transferred to the enlarged North German Commonwealth by special treaties. '1 he vivid ccnnclonMie-s of the Houlh German Gov ernments and populations of the dangers ot German alHHensiiin, and the necessity or firm national union, which constantly finds more decided expression throtiKhnnt the whole ot Germany, will asslwt to hasten the solution of that Important task. The united strength of the nation will be entitled and be compe tent lo guarantee to Germany the blmslnRS nf peace and elleclual protection of her rights and her Interest. With this asHtirance niv Government will devote Itself to averting any Interruption to European peace by every means compatible with the honor and the Inlerfst of the Fatherland. Tbe German people, how ever strong Its unity, will be able calmly to five the vicissitudes of i be luture, I' you, gentlemen, will aid in completing the great work of national nnlon with that patriotism which has always been displayed lu Pruss'aln serious t.uies. There was frequent applause during the de livery ot the speech. At its conclusion Herr von Forkenbeck called for cheers for the King, who then quitted the hall. Count Bismark then declared the Diet open. A sitting of both Houses takes place to-day. A council of the Prussian Ministers, under the Presidency of the King, met in Berlin April 2'J. The Crown Prince and the mem bers of the military and civil cabinets were present. A court dinner was subsequently given in honor of the birthday of the Czar of Russia. In the sitting'of the Chamber of Deputies, Herr von Forkenbeck opened the session with three cheers for the King. COURT mSMARK'S PLAN. Vienna Ajn-U 20) Correspondence London Times. The enemies of Count Bismark, who are as nume rous lu Austria now as they were In I'rus.tla and Ger many a year ago, accuse that statesman of acting habitually on the Talleyrand maxim that speech was given tomau to er tble blin to disguise his real sentiments. At all events It would be rash to place too much confidence In the sincerity of his utterances, but it is a positive fact that, on tbe i!2d of last month, the King of Prussia's birthday. Count Bismark stated to one of the personages present at Berlin on the occasion, that he considered a war between Prussia and France to lip iinuvnldHhln I tLnti.mtitirhltrh'i. TT raIiI tiirt.ltnr. that, lor his own part, he wished to postpone the war I for another year, as tbe military organization ot the newly annexed provinces was still deficient, and the armies of the Booth German Slates have not yet been reformed on the Prussian model. It was true that within a year the French would be armed with the t'hnssepot rifle, but that uuless an army bad been well drilled and accustomed to use a breech loader, the new weapon would be lound an Inconvenience Instead of an advantage, on account ot the proneneas oi the men to waste their ammunition. EE CONSTRUCTION. JUDGE KELLEY IN NEW ORLEANS. EE ADDRESSES A GRAND MASS MEETING OF UNION ISTS IN LAFAYETTE SQUARE TEN THOUSAND PEOFLE PRESENT, ETC. New Orleans, May 12. New York could hardly have made a finer display upon any loyal occasion than tnlH lately Rebel city did last night at the mass meeting; In Lafayette (Square to bear Congressman Kelley, of Penn sylvania, speak. Since the bloody riots of July, 18o6, there was never such an assemblage in tbe streets. Fully ten thousand persons were pre sent. They came in wurd clubs by tbe hundreds and thousands from all quarters of tbe city, with flags, transparencies, and bands. The platform was decorated al 1 round wit h Un ited H tales flags, in silk aud bunting, and lanterns hanging be tween them. The front was festooned with wreaths, intertwined with magnolia blossoms which tilled the air with perfume. About four hundred persons ocoupled the platform, em bracing many of the leading cltlzensand several ladies. Kocketa and other fireworks In showers cleaved the sky. lit up by a calm Southern moon. Tbe scene was grand in the extreme, and to those who remember the stormy condi tion of society here a year ago, it must, nave been witnessed with surprise and gratification Mayor Heatn lntrouuceu juuge Jveuey in a highly patriotic speech. Judge iveney tuanuea inera lurinemviinuou tendered him by the Governor and Mayor, and rejoiced that be was at last able to visit New Orleans, and all other poitionsof his native land, for be, like themselves, was now free to carry his conscience and convletions whither be pleased as a citizen of the United States. He could now call all tbe country his home. The peculiar system of labor in the South had con tracted her civilization. She had shut out friends who would delight to visit and sit with ber citizens at their hearthstones. She had dis couraged immigration, and refused access to the Inventions in science and art of which the North availed itself. Tbe North had many great cities, two of them rivalling l'arls and Loudon lu wealth and popu lation, while their beautiful city, past which the waters of sixty thousand miles of rivers flow was tbe only great one In the South, lie con trasted the railroads of the two sections, to the great advantage of the North in speed and cheapness, all of which was due to tbe isolation in which the South had been enclosed in order to preserve the divinity of slavery. When the decree of 177(1 proclaimed thatall men were born equal, the law was uttered that was to fashion tbe Institutions of our people. They were ever true to that law; for they controlled the States at the time they framed the Constitu tion of the United States, and thus every free man, without regard to color, was a voter in every State save South Carolina. Referring to tbe fact that until Calhoun broached the heresy, In 1847, that slavery in the territories was not a subject of Congressional legislation, he traoed the slavery agitation to the Kansas troubles, and he recalled the vote upon Yancey's motion In the Baltimore Convention of 1H48. which was similar to that of Calhoun's In 1847, a vote ol 21U navs to 86 veas. What a change during tbe twelve succeeding years I After that vote the Democratic leaders of the North assured you that If you would strike for your supposed rights, they would stand by you on the battle field. How were their pledges kept? The whole North gave you these soldiers, whose names are known tiustavus W. Smith aud Mansfield Lovell. . . They gave you besides what the little girl pro posed to give the missionary cause, their pray ers, aud then they went round to their neigh bors ana swore tney never prcu iur u. Mt.ui t.hA min inn of crmvea filled by the best and bravest of both sections are cuargeabla to the Bouth for submitting the question to the ar bitrament of war. Me Uftli iWH RhMerroin Franklin Pierce declaring If you seceded there would hn nn war. or thotlf there was It WOUld be co-extensive with the country, and that blood would flow In every village, town and city of the North and West. How were his pledges kept? In what city of the Worth did blood flow? Between the citizens of which Northern States was there armed collision, and from which of the Northern Slates did men swarm to swell theranks of your armies? So far, history will held the North, especially the Lemocratlo party there, responsible for open ing the way to rebellion. It had kept the mass other people In profound and degrading Igno rance. Tbe laws of each State prohibited by penal statute the education of the slave popu lation. This was Inevitable. Intelligence aud calture are incompatible with slavery: tbe absence of schools, the want oi general ueius oi employment, degraded the non-slavehoidlng whites of the country, and the least enter prising of them lelliaeiana oi tuoir uaiu w And hRpplerJiomes elsewhere, showing that smc18W over 105,000 people had left the nine planting States to go to iuuinuit. iiiiuuin, uu other agricultural and grazing -State In the North. H continued: Do you reproach me and others of the North that we did not come In those days and lay these arguments before you? Ah. my frlentfi, yoa forget the terrible despotism that you established over your, selves. You raised the cry of Abolitionists against Northern men, aud with threats and bloodhounds punned them to death. You tire ted the difference of opinion aa th most heinous of crimes; hot I come urt to bAudy crualfiaUon or rwrlmla. tton with yon. There la ample room for that between you and the leaders of the Democratic party of the North, but for myself and tne Re publican party, I may say, shake not your gory locks at ns, for you cannot say we did It. Hap pily these things belong to the past. In all this broad land no man owns his brother man. You men of color, citizens of Ioulslana, who wear tbe livery of Africa's burnished nun, give thanks unto Ood that He baa turned and over turned until the humblest among you stands erect In majesty ol freeman hood, the equal of your fellow man before the laws of your country as yon are before the beneficent Father of all. He guided the pen of Abraham Lincoln while writing the proclamation of emancipa tion, and they who enacted the Civil Rights bill, aud the Military bill to secure the enforce tnentof its provisions, went reverently to II im for counsel, and recognized lUi noverelgn pre sence in their mldat. My while fcllow-citl.ona, let me say to you that you are charged with a duty grander than is often confided to a gene ration of men. You are to unite with thoHe whom through life you have been taught to Despise as an inferior race, In organizing a parly in Iioulslana In harmony witn the great Its publican party of the North. As an evidence of the folly of endeavoring to cut themselves off from t he national Govern ment, he pointed to the ruined levees and the destruction spread over the land. The repairs of levees was a national question. Neither the people nor the Hlate kept them in good order. One State made good levee law, and others made bad ones. One State kept them in good order, others did not; and the neglect or one brought destruction on the whole. He pledged himself to use his Influence In Congress to obtain an appropriation for the repair of levees, provided they carried out the Recon struction luw in good faith, and did Justice to Ihe noyro. After a few remarks as to the cer tain prosperity ol New Orleans, the speaker concluded thus: Rest not your experiment upon the embodiment in constitution or law of a Uk tract principles, but see lo It that they are embodied practically. If you rise to the prompt accomplishment of this great work1, the day of strife will have passed, and the American sword may be beaten into a ploughshare, and a nation that in its Infancy put into the Held and kept there for four years, during which the bloodiest and best contested battles of history were fought, armies each num bering more than a million men, need fear no foreign war. Let us, then, not grieve over the pant, but, baling no jot of heart or hope, move onward in our great work, and the struggling millions of Kurope will find encouragement lu our labors, and innumerable posterity will rise to revere our country's flag, to ball those who fell martyrs in its maintenance and those who through the civil strife completed their work, blessed among men. (Long and continued applause.) Resolutions were adopted charging Andrew Johnson with the responsibility of the July riots, favoring impenchment, and heartily eu dorsing the course of (Jeueral Sheridan. Rev. Mr. Conway made a stirring speech, and one of the largest and most orderly meetings ever held In New Orleans dispersed without the slightest confusion or disturbance, the clubs mnrchlng off past the Republican news paper offices and St. Charles Hotel, where Judge Kelley is slopping, cheetlng lustllv.and waving the United Stales flag. Tnere were some thou sands of negroes at the meeting, some of whom, when slavery was mentioned, cried out, "Give It to him hard t hit him again, Massa Kelley 1" SENATOR WILSON'S SOUTHERN TOUR. BE IS MET AT MONTGOMERY, ALA., BY SOUTHERN 6PBAKERS VOTE OF TUB NEGROES TAKEN AT THB CLOSE OF THE DERATE THEY DECLARE UNANIMOUSLY FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Montgomery, Ala., May 12. On the trip from Atlanta lo Montgomery, on Friday, Senator Wilaon had tbe opportunity of looking Into the faces of white audiences. If not a relief to the sight, It was a pleasant variation. The trains stopped for two hours at West Point, on the Chattahoochee river, which has become historical as the place where the last engage ment in the late war was fought. Tbe earth works were carried by uenerai Wilson's cavalry after Lee's surrender. When the preence of Senator Wilson became known the usual request for a speech was made and Mr. Wilson assented, for he rarely refuses such a request. He was couducted to a loft alternately used for cotton storing and travel ling theatricals, aud there be held forth for an hour to about two hundred whiles and some dozen blacks. He was catechized somewhat about anti-negro laws and customs in the North. He admitted there were such, but pro mised reform. Nothing offensive was said or done on either side, and the threat of condi tional confiscation was not hinted at. ARRIVAL AT MOMTGOMERY, ALA. On his arrival in Montgomery, accompanied by General Swayne, Military Commandant, he was escorted lo the hotel by a procession of negroes, with music and torchlights. esterday lie addressed the people here from the eastern portico of the State House. The negroes were present lu large numbers. The colored women seem as much interested lu politics as Hie men, and always attend these meetings so do the children, all the way up from bubyhood. There were probably one hun dred whites present. They came generally through curiosity to see and hear Wilson. MBi WILSON'S SfBKCK. "During the past two yeais, he said, Che people of the Toyul mates, who poured out their money ana the blood of their children like autumnal rains for the preserva tion of the life of the nation, menaced by u gigantic rebellion, bad sought, not to humiliate, not to dishonor the people ot the Kebel States who bad fought tor lour years with a valor and persistency tbatcommauded their respect, but to make secure the rights and privi leges ot the millions made tree. Abraham Lincoln, the dearest name in tbe 19tb century. In bis Immortal pro clamation of emancipation, bad pledged, before the cations of tbe earth and the God of heaven, the faith of tbe country that the liberties of these eman cipated bondmen should be maintained by tbe autho rity ot the Government of the United mates. That E ledge, made In a solemn moment of the country's istory, registered by the recording angel, lived In the hearts ot the loyal people of the Republic. They resolved, come what might to them, they would struggle on. He trusted that Alabama would put ber govern ment In the bands of men who would build upon the policy adopted by Congress, and that she would send Into the National councils men who would feel, speak, and vote with the men who bad saved their couutry and made their country lorever a free country, lie did cot speak merely as a partisan. He believed that patriotism required Uiat the people of tbe Htates lately In rebellion should take their places with one or the other of the great National political organi sations of tbe country, and that sectional parties, sectional objects and purposes, should disappear forever. Tbe great Unloa Republican party, accept ing the sebllme creed of human equality, was the party of patriotism, of equal liberty. Impartial Jus tice, of education, of material Intellect, and moral development. During tbe twelve years of lu exist ence It bad been the champion of a uulted republic It had carried tbe nag and kept step to; the music of the Union. It came into being to preserve the vast territories of tbe republic tree, and made the whole country free. It had lilted the country up so high in power, hi llvoor anJ " . " commandea the respect asd admlratloirof Iht u2M"?, RUi be lovers of republican liberty all over the globe war Quoting eMM vv'jiuuvuuiug uvr example, yvnaierer inigut come, be bad uo doubt that the men who had carried tbe country through the last six years Would bereatter tor years to come control tbe pulley and direct the counoilaof the republic. The men Who had fought against the country to maintain slavery, and sympathised wltb those who fougnt against tbe coun try, could not expect hereafter to control the country they bad struggled to destroy. The power ot the Southern Slate bad passed away with their Ideas. Tbe Government of the oountry was passing rapid! v from the people ot the Atlantic States, North and South, to tbe.peoule west of tbe Allegheny mountains, who were radical radical. He tuought, however, that within two or three years thoie States lately in Rebellion would be the most radical Slates of the Union. Tbe Deeds or tHaies require inauy changes, and much radical legislation. There would be here a radical progressive party, and a reactionary that would linger among tbe recollections of tbe past. It required but little foresight to see that the progres sive, radical, reformatory men of the late slave hold ing Stales would control the luture. There were those who tbougbt that tbe Government of the United States and tbe people of the North were Impoalug bard conditions upon these States. lie trusted In God that the people of all these States lately in rebellion would strive to bury the bitter memories of tbe past conflicts, eater upon a new systrnu, turn their backs upon their fatal polloles of the past, and move on In harmony wltb the people of the loyal States, and that tbe men of the North, and of tbe South, ol the Kaat and of the West, burying out of sight the piejudlces and the passions engen dered by tbe ''irrepressible conflict" between freedom and slavery, would hereafter stand sboolder to shoulder and contend only In generous rivalry for a united republlo and for the equal rights and equal privileges. In name and In fact, of all the citizens of tbe litii led States, of every race, fatilvtism, Juel, s &uaiuij will blew tflvrta, MR. CLANTON'S SrxRCH, Then J. H. Clan ton, a prominent lawyer of this city, and lormerlj General In the Confederate army accepted tb general challenge onered by Mr. Wilson, llesaiillie came at the requestor several colored men, tut without priaratliin. Many of the things mlt rfd iy Ihe hpnatnr he admitted were true, but he had Insinuated many things that were untrue. He (Clanton) had ben alwsvs a friend to Ihe blank men: nany of those around " hlin knew hi in torn hH luiancy. and kuew that be had always befriended i' i in. llnd he toue into the war. ai Mr. V IlKin had Intimated, lor their slavery T No. He hail t" l ll.e t-outherii people that- the day they seceded slavery w:is gone, but rebellion wai freedom lo the slave. He reminded them that he had during the war, In the theatre at Montgomery, advocated emancipa tion and the enlisting and arming of the slaves. The hemttor Itom Massachusetts hud told them they owed their llheriy to the armies of the North ; hut that was untrue. Years aftertheeorameneenieutot the war Pre sident Lincoln: hndloflered Jto lhc;Confelerate state that If they would comeback Into the Union slavery would never lie disturbed In the States. Would the Senator deny thst ? He could not. It the Rebels had then gone hack Into the Union, as President Lincoln wanted them, I tie colored men of the Koulh would he slaves to-oav; they therefore did not owe their liberties to the Republicans or to the Rebels, out to God, the giver of all good and perfect gilts. He was for the Union himself. He had followed the old flag from Vera Crus to Mexico, and the saddest day of his life was when be had lo turn ai; in list it. He always opposed secession, hut after wards Joined his poople, because he thought It was his duty to do so. Hut he had never fired a gun lor the eake of slavery, and. tbe benutor hud never lired one against it. He reviewed the history of slavery In this country, to prove that the Ktiglish lirst, and the Yankees atterwards, were responsible for Its establishment. He told them their true interests consisted in sil lier lug lo the white people In the communities where they lived. They would all have to live together and be Hurled together, and therefore he who would stir tip political and other dissensions between them was the direct enemy of both races. He reminded them thHl the North was exacting a hfavy tax on their Industry the cotton tax: and that in the Northern States, wlier" their race hud been tree for generations, colored people were subjected to all sorts of political and social disabili ties. Those politicians from the North were trying to deceive the colored people, and would desert tlietu when the danger came, as they had done In Aew Orleans, where sixty blacks were killed by the mob. In conclusion, he urged them to vote for those men whom they knew to be honest, and who had proved themselves their friends, and not to be led astrav tv political adventurers trom the North. (Shoots lor the Union.) . The colored people heard Clanton with patience hut his arguments had evidently uo effect upon them. they constantly broke out Into s bouts tor the "Unlou.'i MR. WILSON'S KEI'LY. Then Senator Wilson replied to General Clanton. speaking lor nearly another hour, recounting the va rious stsges In the slavery agitation, and remarking In regard to eBCh that he hsd never known the gen tleman, Clanton, to have taken the side of treedoui. These hits were much relished by the colored people, who laughed, cheered, and encouraged the spea ker. MR. TKLDER'B SPEECH. Then A. C. Felder. formerly ajudge, and afterwards a coloLel In the Confederate army, but who since voted lu tbe Alabama Sena e fur the Conitt tullonnl amendment, and who Is thoroughly Identified with the Union cause, got a chance of replying to Clanton, who had lu the course of his speech Indulged in a fling against him. lie turned tbe laugh against Clanton by declaring tbut if Clanton bad thought he wus not fighting for slavery during thewar.be (Felder) was certain that be was. If Clanton was In favor of emancipation, why had be not emancipated bis own slaves? He (Felder) had held on to bis as long as he could, but tbe Federal Government had given them their freedom. There was nothing now for teoslble men here to do but to conform lo the new state ot things and range themselves with tbe party of Ireedom. (Cheers.) VOTE TAKEN AMONG THE COLORED riCOn.K. It was between 5 and 6 o'clock when tbe meeting commenced, but tbe sun had sunk la the West and tbe moon bad been looking down on the scene lor over two hours before General Sway ne announced the meeting adjourned, first taking the sense of the colored people as to who wfre for and who against the Republican parly; the responses showed that all were for It and none against. Tbe meeting ihen broke up with cheers for Wilson. Swayne, tbe Republican party, and the Union. RICHMOND. TtiCHMONn, Va., May 12. After service at the African church to-night the preacher spoke a few words of good advice to the congregation, urging them to refrain from all disorderly or riotous demonstrations. He closed by intro ducing Judge Underwood, who said Genera Schofleld bad told him to-day there was a possi bility of a riot being made by the negroes to morrow and that if there was he would plant cannot and sweep the street with grape shot. He urged Ibem to be peaceful and quiet In their demeuBor, and declared that they had gained their present position by good conduct, und could gain nothing by violence and insult. He had answered for them as his friends, and had assured the General that there would be no dis turbance on their part. He introduced Mr. Horace Greeley. JMr. Greeley said that he did not believe there wns much fear of a riot, but if they assembled on the streets twenty at a place it would give occasion for interference with them, aud if a telegram could be made that there had been a collision between the soldiers aud tbe colored people, It would go all over the country, and hurt their brothers at some place where they were not so well protected as they are here. He bud been rpoken of aa a friend of the colored people, hut he was not their friend any more than he was the friend of every people that Is oppretsed Just as lie had spoken for them when down-trodden, so at the close of the war he had spoken for the other side, lest they should be punished for things of which they were not guilly. When the wild cry of vengeance arose after the murder of our great President, he ad vised them to he as modest In their triumph as they had been patient in their suffering, prom ising that their reward would be great aud lasting. .
