Tho GRAND GLORIFICATION! ^ PEACE RESTORED. ^ — The North and South Shake Hands Across the Bloody Chasm. Torch Light Procession. 81EECUKH DY MAJ. A. B. CALHOUN, HOWARD CARROLL, O. GUNDY JORDAN AND COLONEL F. O. WILKINS. Owing to a want of understanding last night as to the programme to be observed, there war little in the way of an illumina tion, and the torch light procession was not so generally participated in as wo ex pected and hoped it would be. Still, the demonstration was very creditable, and the enthusiasm on the streets was deep and widespread, showing that our people are deeply interested in the great events which called forth tho demonstration. The Central Mechanics’ Fire Company and railroad men wero leaders of the proces sion, prtcodod by their brass baud. They marched from the depot at 7| o’clock,and proceeded through liroud street bearing transparencies aud torchlights. On Broad street they were joined by tho City Light Guards and citizens. Some of the principal transparencies bad mottoes as follows: A very handsome one gotten up by John King, railroad artist contained the following; “Colum bus Enquirer,” underneath this tho Georgia Coat of Arms, and under this “Maj. A. II. Calhoun.” On auother side was Boast Butler and his bottle and some warm expressions concerning him. On the third hide “Alabama 12,000 Majority,” underneath this “Radical Dogs, llotts, Busteed and Folham,” with Betts as tho hindmost dog in tho race. On tho 4th Hide wos the picture of an engine “Geor gia” with a fender “Alabama.” Auother had this: “President 1870— Thurman, of Ohio 2J, “Southern Trai tors Gone Up.” lid, “Good-byo Southern Boallawugs.” Still another contained this; “Alabama 12,000,” “Daniel Collins, Coroner, Doing his Duty in a Horn,” “Wo Defy Hand cuffs,” “We Know Our Bights and Dure Maintain Them.” Tho lib transparency contained only this motto—“Brownovillo No. 10.” During the pasHigo of the procession through tho streets, a twelve pound cannon, innunod by Marshal Murphy and policemen Bt. Clair aud Brudv, belched forth its victorious compliments. Sixteen rounds were fired—ono for each of tho Democratic States and throo for Alabama. The Light Guards also tired six salutes of musketry. Numerous bells and tiu horns in tho hands of Young Auiorica, contributed their quota to the music of the evening. Among the few illuminations wo no ticed wero tho storo of A. L. Harrison, saloon of A. J. Boland and barber shop of Ed. Terry, colored. Bonfiron wero seen in several localities. About nino o’clock tho procession halted in front of the JUukiu House, and called voriforously for Maj. A. U. Calhoun, who soon appoared upon tho balcony and spoke as follows : ADDRESS OF MAJ. A. R. CALHOUN. My Friend*—I might feel vain if I imagined for a moment that tlio honor conferred by your culls was intended for me ah an individual. I am sure you call ou mo ah a Union man—a man who loves his country with his whole heart, and who to-morrow would laydown his life, if need bo, to keep intact the grand Republic of our fathers. [Cheers.J I do not wonder that you come out with torch, and drum, aud cannon, to eelobrute a victory that to you seems like tho tirst recognition for fourteen years, of tho South by her sister States North. Whilo I did not sympathize with you for a moment iu your desporato and heroic effort to sever our oouuuou country, yet after I learned your true cou- ditiuu, my heart went out to you, and I turned away in disgust from the Northern vampire and Southern coward who, under the sauetion of )>opulur prejudice, rose iu tho South to druiu the little vitality tho war had had loft. [Applause.] There has beou a wonderful revolution through out tho Union, and victors and vnu- quishod, alike, Are asking themselves the cause. Each reasoning man has bis roa- and bad Abraham Lincoln been spared wo would have had no such prob lem to solve. Only the Northeru man who hits lived with you, or travoltd ex tensively through tho South siuco the war, can appreciate tho terrible straits into which you have been driven. Boateu in war, your homes desolated, your laud tilled with orphans aud widows, your cripples uocured for, your mouey worth less, and your bravest slopping in soldiers’ graves on historic Holds, ono would think that every spark of magnanimity iu the breast of the conqueror would light, to guide you out of the melancholy dark ness. Aud it did; the old soldiers were with you, and tho South iu nil her post bcllum trials had no warmer friends limn the old hoys in hluo who fought against her sous. Poor you are, aud poor you must be, till your ’own sons learu to work as hard for tho South’s success, as they did for her independence. Tho partisan papers tell us this victor}’, which you celebrate, is n Democratic success. There was never a more terrible mistake; there wits nothing partisan in it, for tho Democratic parly as such is dead beyond all hope of redemption. We have achieved a victory I * rant, l»ut it iu too graud and national to l»o partisan. Who is so idiotic as to say that Massachusetts, Pennsylva nia, Ohio aud Jersey, have responded to a new found love for nu effoto party ? Did Nevada wish to encourage opposition to Union, or Missouri raise hot voice iu fa vor of the dead dootriuo of Calhoun’s State Bights? No, but the great heart of the nation, which is ever right, whether it pulsates iu Maiue or Texas, felt the wrong of the dominant party, and through the ballot, the voico of tho na tion, it rebuked those wrongs and suid to the impoverished South “thou hast been lied about and traduced, they brave men have been abused, thy Slates impoverished, thy graves insulted and thy freemen enslaved!" ltise, sisters of the South, clasp bauds with us und stand our equals iu the great confed eration of our fathers. [ Loud applause.] . .. , . The douiinaut party made a desperate resolution may bo fonud among council effort to rota iu power, by concocting proceedings. This is a measure which | stories of imaginary outrages and unnu* w*« a* citv editor, have advocated for ! thenticated wrongs by what they called .UK It'will moot tttmim oppwritiou. “ ,ho « u «>P e,, '“ nt I , r « b ol»"-J> u t with •L . .

No longer can a party aim at supremacy by belief in tho power of a military favorite, or brave his popularity against tho will of the Re public, for tho people, the sovereign peo ple, have risen in tneir might to denounce it. No one man is essential to the life of thin nation. [Cheers.] While partisans have Attempted to force that most unnat ural Civil Bights hill on us, they ignore the fact thnt in this land are to be luund the best friends of the black man, and that in this laud tho black raco of America has its heart and its homo. A heart that would never havo been alienated but for the tricks of adventurers aud the interfer ence of that most corrupt institution, “the Freedmeu's Bureau." Again I say ours iH no mere parly tri uniph. Were it, 1 would not be here to address you. It is a national triumph, that rings through the land in the shouts of a free people who have risen in their might and crushed party under foot. [Cheers.] I have longed for this day; for iu it I see the dawn of a new epoch. I can see ou tho ruins of thoso partios, whoso names suggest the meaner feelings and brutal Late* of the late war, a new puity rising, a party that knows no sec tion, and has no local prejndice for a battle ory; but whoso principles will be pure as our eonatitution, broad an our mighty land, and deep as the noble feelings of the great American people. There is rejoicing to day throughout our land. I regret that it should be in the name of a party, for, ns I before remarked, tho victory is grander than parly success. It is an achievement of patriotism, and a majority of tho ex- soldiers of both sections worked to achieve it. Let U3 reverently thank God for tho dawn of this better day, for to-day, more than ever, tho heart of tho South throbs with the groat heart of tho Union. To day, more than ever since the war, you f« el that this is your country, as it was of your fathom, and that tho Boutb has a voico that can bo heard in tho councils of tho nation without begetting partisan sueers or meaner hates. But, oiy friends, yon must not imagine in your joy that the present victory is to bring prosperity to the Bonth. It may, and will add lo tho value of your lamb;, and the confidence in your Btate se curities, but boar in mind they who have fought the battle with yon will turn to the Boutli and watch with the hope that she may provo worthy of tho ronowed love. I trust they uiay, for they will sec you law-ubiding as you were brave, and tbcy # will rejoico to behold that here charily links arms with law and both watch over tho present interests and fu ture prospects of the black race. Here are thoir true friends, here must bo their home iu this laud, and with God’s help we hope to show thnt wo need neither na tional bureaus nor foreign missions to aid us iu caring for this race, whose lutereslH are so closely allied with ours. Now more than ever we should change as tho nation's policy has, as shown in the votes of tie peoplo. Now we should dignify labor, and look upon him who Rooms labor as a drone to be despised, aud no true son of tho Month. Now the workers should bo the leaders, and the creatures who aim to live without It tho pariahs of tho South. Tho day has conic when tho South should move her corn- cribs from Illinois, and her smokehouses from Ohio, and buy not ono thing that can bo raised in her own fields. Tlio day has come when tho South should throw’ down tho bars, and open the gales that heretofore havo kept out tho sons of toil from thd old world, whoso stalwart arms havo built up empires ’mid tho wilds of tho Northwest. Tho dny for labor has come, and in this land it can no longer bo the prerogative of the blnck. It re quires no prophet ken to see what tho future of this land will be if wo be but true to ourselves. The groat estates that impoverish will bo broken into small, well cultivated farms. Our wrotohod roads will bo made grand highways. Our moun tains will yield their splendid wealth of ores; and factories and foundries 11 rise by our streams like altars of industry. Our rivers, that never yield homage to the ice king, will float our unequalled commerce to tho sea. Our cotton will leave our ports in u perfoct slafo of mnn- ufaotnro ; and the South, losing tho de grading sentiment of chivalry, will rise by the ennobling practice of labor ; and in tho Union, by tho development of her fiplemlid resources, sho will riso as she never could if n separate nation or a slave powor. [Cheers, j After Major Calhoun had finished, Cap- taiu G. Gunby Jordan responded in ans wer to the culls of the immense audience. He congratulated particularly Brownvillc beat No. 10, and asked all iu sympathy with freedom and right to raiso their hats, which they did at once.

I love the South because it is a part of my country. I glory iu your succor i be cause I deem it the success of my coun try, and uot of a parly, as Alf. Calhoun told you. [Cheers.] I rojoico with him to think tho day of parties is past aud tho ilay of patriotism has come. I expected lo see you lawless brigands. I have found you Christian gentlemen. I pray God wo may hereafter live iu ponce. My father was killed by your bullets, yet I bear y no malice, but rather lovo, and entertain the hope thnt horeaftor there may bo u perfect peace bet ween,the sections of our common country. [Cheers.] Afterwards Col. Wilkins was called on and responded iu a capital and patriotic address. His Honor, ex-Mayor Mcllhenuy, was called ou, but his health was too feeble to respond.

The attendance was larger than at any meeting since the Chamber was orgunizod, notwithstanding the meeting of Council and the Democrat ic jobffcation. Some ten now members were admitted. The following committee was appoin ted, on motion of G. Gunby Jordan, to confer in conjnention with ono from the City Council, with Governor Smith con cerning the city’s interest iu the North and South Railroad : H. II. Epping, G. Gunby Jordan, N. J. Bussey, John Mc- Illhonny, It. L. Mott, S. G. Murphy and A. M. Alien. Messrs. J. Bhodos Browne and W. L Salisbury were requested to act with the committee. Tho joint committees of the Chamber and City Council meet to-day, at 10 a. m., in the ltankin IIouso. President A. M. Alien read a most in teresting aud able address on tho trade, past and present, of Columbus—a resume of her business—the errors of the post, the duty of the present, and our glorious future. Messrs. T. J. Nuckols, II. T. Crigler and W. J. Watt were appointed a committee to suggent resolutions to carry out the va rious suggestions of the address. Tho Direct Trade Committee to Atlanta and the Committee to correspond with other Chambers on insurenco ratese, were granted until next meeting to report. It seems to ho the general impression, that with proper effort, the North and South Railroad oau be cxtendisl beyond the mountain. A vote of thanks was tendered the Pros- ident for his able address. Negro Kill* Another« At 11 o’clock lost night a negro, Ike Johnson, a deck hand on the Rteamer Farley, shot and killed Henry Howard. Occurred on tho bluff overlooking tho steamboat landing. A colored wench was the cause. Henry had been assisting in firing the cannon at the Democratic jubi lee. Ho had gono to tho spot mentioned and was talking to the woman when Ike oamo up. Henry asked “what are you doing boro?” when Ike;drew u pistol nml shot tho former through tho heart, and also in the month, killing him in stantly. Ike wont below, wont on tho boat, and in a moment loft. Parties pursued. Ike tired on his pursuers, and a ball grazed tho shoulder of Bill Davis, colored.
