Judge Bond was next introduced. He said this demonstration to us means peace. All the white men of Maryland who have pictured you in false lights will have ample opportunity hereafter to devote themselves to the quiet pursuits of literature, &c. His object was not to address them at this time but to introduce to them the Hon. Horace Maynard of Tennessee.

Mr. Maynard said they had assembled as American citizens to celebrate a great historic event, which was without parallel to the history of the world. To show there the importance of it he read the fifteenth amendment and commented upon it, explaining its force and effect.

The Hon. Frederick A. Sawyer, Senator from South Carolina, made a brief address as also Gen. Heath, of Washington city, after which the meeting at about 7 o clock quietly adjourned and soon the square relapsed into its usual condition.

At night a ball was held at the Douglass Institute which was largely attended, some few white persons being present. The dancing was kept up until a late hour, a supper being provided in the lower saloon about midnight. Several streets in South Baltimore and Orchard street, from Madison street to Pennsylvania avenue mainly occupied by colored persons were brilliantly illuminated and wreaths, flags &c, suspended from windows and in several instances across the streets.

The request of the police board that the drinking houses should be closed was as a general thing complied with and as a consequence cases of drunken men being seen on the street were of rare occurrence. Last night more than the usual number of persons both white and colored were to be seen on the streets, which were lively but orderly.
