The Constitutional Convention.
In less than a week now—on Tuesday
next—the voters of the State will be call
ed on to cast their ballots for or against a
convention to frame a new constitution
for Georgia—a constitution which, ema
nating from the people, and embodying
the true principles of repubican self gov
ernment, giving equal protection to the
rights and interests of all, will command
the approval and support of all classes
of our citizens.
We have heretofore, again and again,
set forth the impoitance of the move,
and the necessity for the convention. It
is needless, at this time, to reiterate the
reasons why a Constitutional Convention
should be held, for it is fair to presume
that they are fully understood and appre
ciated throughout the State. What we
desire to do now is to impress upon the
people the necessity for turning out,
promptly and in force, to vote in
favor of the measure. There ought
to be no partisan feeling in the
matter. The constitution which is
proposed to be framed is for the gov
ernment of all our citizens, irrespective
of party or race. Report says that lead
ing Republicans are determined to make
it a party question, and that they will
urge their party to oppose the conven
tion. Such a course on their part is as
nnwise as it is unpatriotic, and should
inspire the friends of the movement with
a determination to do their utmost in its
behalf. Nor should the prospect of its
being triumphantly carried anyhow, in
duce a single voter to stay at tome and
not deposit his ballot for the convention.
No doubt the call for a convention meets
with favor from a large majority of onr
people. Let that majority be fully
recorded on Tuesday next. The larger
it is the better.
We hope, therefore, that those who
read this article will be influenced by it,
and go and do as it suggests. Remem
ber always that the great object in view
is to do away with the only surviving
relic of carpet-bagism left us, and to
give a system of government, in its
stead, which will proceed from that
source of all lawful sovereignty in this
country—the people themselves.
The death of Fletcher Harper has
drawn ont some interesting particulars
about tbe immense profits of their pub
lishing business. One New York paper
says that Harpers' Magazine, Harpers'
Weekly and Harpers' Bazar yield a profit
of half a million dollars a year, and
that a carelul estimate made a few years
ago showed that the whole manufactur
ing business of the Harpers amounted to
■over $5,000,000 annually, with fully
thirty-three per cent, profit.
and Her Creditors
Meeting To-Day.
The meeting Heretofore announced be
tween the authorities of the city of Sa
vannah and her creditors to endeavor and
devise some ways and means by which
our municipal debt may be adjusted, will
take place at the Exchange to-day at
12 m.
Our attention has been attracted by an
article in the New York Chronicle, headed
“Debt of South Carolina and other South
ern States,” which, though it refers to
the bonded indebtedness of the entire
States, expresses views that are equally
applicable to the subject under consider
ation.
This article gives advice to both debtor
and creditor. To the debtor it very
truly says, in effect, that repudiation
never has and never will pay, for where
the credit of a community or corporation
is injured (as it always is by even talk of
repudiation), the individual ^credit of all
those composing such community is like
wise affected, and of course business and
commercial prosperity hindered; that it
is best, in all cases, not to talk about re
pudiation at all, but show a disposition
to fairly and honestly “try" and meet
just obligations, and, says the writer,
“whatever self-denial is necessary to
make such effort will be the soundest
policy.”
On the other hand, it reminds the
creditor that “an excessive debt, which
destroys the gains of labor, is the worst
palsy upon a commonwealth,” (which
remark applies equally well to a corpora
tion), and it says: “This fact is appre
ciated by the creditor—together with
other extenuating facts about these debts
on which we need not dwell—and, gen
erally, we think he is disposed to take
the reasonable position towards adjust
ment which generosity and shrewdness
concur in suggesting.”
Applying these remarks to our own case,
we admit their truth, and hope the city
and her creditors will act in accordance
with their teachings. We have no doubt
that Savannah will be ready to make au
earnest effort, and “try,” to the extent of
her ability, to do what is right
and proper towards her creditors. Our
citizens are, we are assured, ready to
make any self denial, and to submit to
any burden which can be borne, to satisfy
the city’s obiigations. But creditors
likewise should bear in mind all the
extenuating circumstances connected with
the incurring of these debts, and remem
ber that there is a point at which ability
fails and burdens prove too heavy to be
borne. We trust then that “generosi
ty and shrewdness” will unite in
suggesting to them to take “a reasonable
position towards an adjustment,” and that
a satisfactory solution of the problem
may be arrived at in order that the ter
rible “palsy” of debt which now so dis
tresses both debtor and creditor may be
cured.
Tlie E vils of Centralism.
Commenting on the admirable address
of Hon. J. Randolph Tucker, on con
stitutional law and the evils of central
ism, a synopsis of which we print in
another column, that able and sound
Democratic paper, the New York World,
says:
“We commend this address to the
serious attention of the excellent people
who can see nothing in our reoent
history so dreadful or so worthy of in
dignation as what they assume to be the
delay of justice in Mississippi in dealiug
with certain rioters in that State. It is
a deplorable thing that justice should de -
lay iu dealing with rioters anywhere. It
was a deplorable thing that rioters and
leagued assassins were allowed by l he
Governor and authorities of Penn
sylvania to terrorize a broad regon
of that great commonwealth for
months and years, until one bold and de
termined man took his life into his hands
and compelled the servants of the law to
assert the majesty of the law. It will be
a deplorable thing if it shall prove to be
true that the authorities of Mississippi
lack either the moral courage or the ma
terial power, or both the courage and the
power, to stamp out the violence and bru
tality, which it is but natural to suppose
must have sprung up there under the law-
defying and law-abrogating rule of the
Federal bayonet. But nothing can be
so deplorable, in a country founded
like this upon a great constitutional
system of laws, as the growth among the
people of a disposition to overleap the
limitations of law in tbe pursuit even of
what may be plausibly represented as
good and righteous objects. Riots in
Kemper county, Mississippi, are things
to which good citizens in New York ought
not to be indifferent. But neither was
the breaking in upon a State Legislature
of armed partisans backed by United
States bayonets a thing to be regarded
by good citizens of New York with indif-
ference. And nobody can profitably be
angry about the one whose conscience
does not tell him that he was honestly
angry about the other.”
Stealing jewelry from the British
aristocracy seems to be a safe as well as a
lucrative occupation. Many years ago
the jewel case of the Countess of Eiles-
mere was taken from the top of a cab
more reoently the dressing-bag of the
Countess of Dudley was carried off almost
from under the foot of her maid at a
railway station. The jewels of the
Countess of Egmont were taken in broad
daylight from Banstead House; the jewels
of the Duchess of Cleveland just before
dinner from Battle Abbey; and now a
brill ant burglary has occurred at the seat
of the Earl of Kilmorey at Isleworth.
Iu none of these cases has any clue to the
robbers been found or any considerable
part of the property recovered. This is
hardly in keeping with the high reputa
tion of the British police, and it ought to
be soothing-to the feelings of our own
much abused force.
A Washington dispatch of May 28 to
the Tribune says that “ the President de
clares that there should he no assessments
on employees for politioal purposes, and
that no employees should take part in my
caucus, convention or campaign. The
President's letter is in entire harmony
with his every private utterance on this
subject sjnee his inauguration.” And yet,
says the World, on looking back to the
2Gth of April we find a Washington dis
patch to the Tribune declaring that “the
President said he saw no reason why
Federal office holders should not publicly
express their opinions in favor of the
candidates of their choice and labor for
their election.” Which dispatch is tha
one not to be believed ?
Right Afteb Beast Butleb.—The
New Orleans Democrat says: “Colonel
Jack Wharton has gone to Washington to
confront Ben Rutler on the charge of his
having been guilty of stool-pigeoning
Packard’s Legislature. Clear the front 1
Bland aside! Give Colonel Jack a fair
show, and if old Ben don’t come his usual
dodge of sneaking out of a fight when
cornered, we will wager the first quarter
of Jack's salary as United States Marshal
against one hundred acres of Butler’s
Colorado tract, that the old Texan
bruiser gets him down and makes him
squirm.”
Stanley on Grant.
Before the days of Ulysses I., indeed
long before that worthy was ever brought
into any prominence, or enjoyed the
favor of any one soever (except perhaps
a few boon companions with whom he
was accustomed to drink mean whisky in
St. Louis), several ex-Presidents of the
United States had paid visits to Europe—
Pierce, Fillmore, Van Buren each having
enjoyed that trip. But, though these
were all Presidents of the olden time,
whose administrations were never marked
by fraud, corruption and whisky rings’,
and who occupied the Presidential chair
before that august seat was made the
stake in a game of fraud, they were
simply treated abroad as gentlemen of
distinction, and private citizens of the
republic. It remained for His Excellency
Grant to be treated as an ex-sovereign,
and to be the recipient of honors never
before tendered to an American.
Why this is so ii is hard to tell, unless
the monarchists of Europe think that
the decidedly imperialistic tendencies
which he developed during his two terms
as Presidint deserve some recognition
and encouragement. Be this as it may,
one thing is very certain: He is by
our English cousins being made the
subject of unusual honor and fulsome
eulogy. Au instance of the flattery which
is, rather disgustingly, showered upon
him occurred on Sunday last, in no les3 a
place than Westminster Abbey, and from
no less a person than Dean Stanley him
self. The telegraph informs us that the
Dean, after alluding to Motley’s death,
thus spoke of Grant :
“General Grant has just laid down the
sceptre of the American commonwealth,
after having, by military prowess, still
more by generous treatment of comrades
in victory and enemits in defeat, restored
unify to a great and divided people.
England welcomes him as a sign-pledge
that the two nations of the Anglo-Saxon
race are one in heart and spirit.”
Now Dean Stanley may have been hon
est in his sentiments, and he mag have
really desired to pay the American people
a compliment by thus speaking of one of
their ex-Presidents. But if he was, he
shows a woful amount of ignorance re
garding the history of the United States
during the last eight years—an ignorance
which is unpardonable in one holding his
exalted position. Let us look at the facts
of the case as they stand, and will Le re
corded by the historian of the future,
and we shall readily see how full of
errors are the Dean’s remarks.
Iu the first plaoe, we may say,
en passant, that it has never heretofore
been the habit to speak of our Chief Ex
ecutives as of men who wield “the sceptre
of the American commonwealth.” That
word “sceptre” smacks too much of roy
alty and monarchy for our republican
ears, aud is very distasteful. We always
speak of our President simply a3 “His
Excellency the President,” or as the
“Chief Magistrate of the nation,” or as
the “Chief Executive,” or as “the gentle
man who lives in the White Hou-e,” or
something in that style. As a people, we
like it much better than to allude to him
as the man who wields “the sceptre,” etc.
Again, how very strangely to our ears
sounds the sentiment that Grant was tbe
man who had by “military prowess,” and
“by generous treatment of comrades in
victory and enemies in defeat, restored
unity to a great and divided people.”
True he did happen, from some cause or
other, to be the ranking officer of the
army when, after having lost more men
than were ever opposed to him in battle,
and after having made failure after fail
ure in efforts to take Richmond, he was
finally strongly reinforced by Sherman,
and General Lee surrendered to him at
Appomattox.
True, also, he did, at first, while still
only a soldier, manifest a slight disposi
tion to be magnanimous to a brave foe
who he himself declared was not con
quered but overwhelmed. But this much
being conceded, all vestige of actual fact
disappears from the remarks of the Dean.
So far from Grant’s having restored “uni
ty to a divided people,” the main object
of his administration, after providing fat
places for his relatives and his personal
friends (his Averys, his Babcocks, his
Belknaps, his Joyces, his McDonalds, his
McKees, his Shepherds, and all such,) was
to keep that people divided, and to hold
one section of the land in subjection by
means of national soldiers and sailors,
United States Marshals, scalawags and
carpet-baggers. Has Dean Stanley so
soon forgotten, or is it possible that he
never heard of the invasion of the Loui
siana Legislature by United States sol
diers ; of the usurpation of the Govern
orship of that State by William Pitt
Kellogg, and of the maintenance in power
of the usurper at the point of the bayonet?
Has he forgotten so soon how Phil Sheri
dan was sent down there to overawe the
people of a sovereign State, and how he,
acting under the orders and according to
the will of his master, stigmatized a class
of people, the buckles of whose shoes he
was unworthy to unloose, as banditti?
Has the learned Dean forgotten all this,
and a hundred other things of like
character which marked Grant’s adminis
tration, and which are matters of history;
or is it that he cares so little about Ameri
can affairs that he has never read the de
tails of these transactions?
At any rate, if Dean Stanley is ignorant
of, or has forgotten these things, the
American people bear them in remem
brance. The rebuke administered to Mr.
Grant at the polls last November, when
the people elected Samuel J. Tilden
President of the United States, proves
this; and it is still further proven, by the
fact that though, under Mr. Grant, the
country had advanced so far in "im
perial Ideas as to enable his party to seize
upon the Presidency in opposition to the
will of the people, still his de facto suc
cessor did not dare to continue a policy
so emphatically denounced at the polls.
It would be well for Dean Stanley, if he
would not mak6 himself ridiculous, to re
fresh his memory regarding affairs on this
side the water. Of one thing we can inform
him. General Grant, the man who wield
ed “the sceptre of the American com
monwealth” for eight years, may be a big
personage in the opinion of Her Majesty
the Queen, 11. H. the Princeof Wales,
or his Reverence the Dean of Westmin
ster Abbey; bnt he is regarded in this
country as the worst President the world
ever saw, and his administration has re
ceived at the hands of his fellow citizens
the severest rebuke, and the moat decided
disapproval ever shown to any adminis
tration since the republic was founded.
’The Philadelphia Tress expresses the
belief that the “South is approaohing
barbarism,” and that it will “lapse into a
condition little removed above the oondi-.
tion of the Ishmaelitish society of the
desert.” But the Courier Journal re
minds Chevalier Forney that he should
not judge the South by the effect of
unpunished crime in Pennsylvania.
There has been for years such a reign of
assassination, arson and general deviltry
within a few hours’ ride of Philadelphia,
in the mining regions, that Forney natur
ally believes such a state of savagery
must exist everywhere else in the United
States. Then many of the most revolt
ing murders in the world have taken
plaoe in Philadelphia. The Courier-
Journal thinks Chevalier Forney is un
fortunate in assuming to be a general
oensor of morals in the United States.
ssL—rsu gy TEIjEORAPII
electrical wonders? Here we have already
the ordinary telegraph, the Atlantio cable
and the telephone, to say nothing of light
ing up the whole eapitol at Washington
with an electric spark. Yet all these
things fail to satisfy the oravings of the
modern scientific man. \ French physi
cian has actually invented a means ot
dining by electricity. By placing food in
a man's month, making him firmly shut
his jaw, and applying the poles of a bat
ter}- to each side of that jaw, a single
spark will, with lightning speed, shoot
the substance into the stomach at the
rate of about three thousand miles a
minute. This invention promises great
.things to this country. By it the ener-
getio bnsiness man can get through his
whole dinnerin about a minute and a half,
so that he will never have to lose ten min
utes at his meals. To the lazy man it
will save the labor of mastication and
through its medium, lockjaw will be de
prived of all its terrors. Indeed, the
only persons likely not to derive any bene-
efit at all from it, are lightning rod men
book agents, insurance agents, auction
eers and drummers. They cannot profit
by it because they cannot afford to keep
their mouths shut long enough
make tbe experiment a success. This is
sad, but we can get consolation from the
fact that the benefits to be conferred on
mankind at large will more than com
pensate for the troubles of these unfor
tuna tea.
“When he (Schurz) was serving the
country as Senator, a gentleman in Cali
fornia, who was grateful to him for se
curing some legislation in Congress, sent
Mrs. Schurz a set of diamonds. A friend
of the family who was present when the
box was opened, says the lady was de
lighted with the beautiful gems (as what
lady would not be ?), but she never for a
moment entertained the thought of ac
cepting them, knowing well that her hus
band would receive no such reward for a
duty performed. Beautiful as they were,
little time was allowed in which to admire
them. In less than fifteen minutes after
their arrival they were on their way back
to the generous donor.”—Letter to Boston
Transcript.
Gauzy, very, to try and make any
body believe that Carl Schnrz ever exer
cised any such self-denial. A man
who traveled about delivering lectures
for two hundred.dollars a night; who
broke off a European four suddenly to
stump Ohio for Hayes for ten thousand
dollars (a charge made by the Cincinnati
Enquirer, and never denied a3 far as we
know); who denounced Grant and Radi-
calism and yet ate his words, and worked
for the success of Radicalism last fall in
consideration of the Secretaryship of
State—to say that he wouldn’t permit Mrs.
S. to accept a set of precious stones, will
require very strong proof before it can
be believed. If Carl Schurz has anything
in view in this country, it is to make
money, and men of that character don’t
generally refuse a box of diamonds.
Bad Condition of the Turkish Fight
ing Matebial.—According to a cor
respondent of the New York Times, now
with tbe Turkish army in Asia, tbe fight
ing material of their army is in a bad
condition, owing to mismanagement and
dilutoriness. The Times’ correspondent,
writing from Batoum under date of May
titl), reports that three hundred Krupp
guns were buried in the snow on the
road from Trebizond to Erzeroum, and
that more cannon were lying on the beach
at the former place, as if impossible of
being transported inland. So, too, of
the Kurds and Circassians, of whom sneb
great things were and are expected by
the Turks. There was absolutely no
preparation made for them, and they are
miserably armed and equipped. Under
such circumstances they are in a sorry
condition for effective service, and will
perhaps make bat a feeble resistance
when the real shock of battle comes.
Mr. Hayes’ chances for disrupting the
Democratic party are infinitely less than
that his own party will be destroyed by
internal dissensions. Already Ben. But
ler and Wayne McVeigh have had a tilt,
in which each U3ed towards the other
expressions anything but complimentary.
Besides this, while Hayes himself and his
followers preach peace and conciliation,
such Radicals as Boutwell make even the
day set apart for decoratiug the graves
of dead soldiers with flowers, the occasion
for venting their malignity and hate to
wards the South. It is likely to prove a
very pretty quarrel as it stands, and if
the Democracy of the country only deter
mine to slick to their colors manfully,
and remain united, they will undoubtedly
experience the truth of the proverb,
“When thieves fall out, houest men will
get their dues.”
Ex-Governor Henry 0. Warmoth, of
Louisiana, was married last week, and. on
the happy occasion,he manifested a decid
ed disposition to forget political differences
and shake hands across the bloody chasm.
Many notables were asked to the wed
ding, and in the list of invited guests we
notice the names of Governor Nicholls,
ex-United States Marshal Packard, Lieu
tenant Governor Wiltz and ex -Lieutenant
Governor D. B. Penn. But poor Kellogg
was ignored ; completely snubbed. Even
Warmoth couldn’t stand the idea of social
intimacy with him.
Hayes’ recent appointment of Mrs.
Thompson as Postmaster at Louisville
appears to be extremely distasteful to a
large majority of the Kentucky Republi
cans of the sterner sex, judging from the
shower of protests that has keen made.
Mrs. Thompson is charged with haring
been a “venomous" rebel, which of
coarse is the acme of all villainy, and the
Kentucky male Republicans say there
are at least a thousand of them who
would have taken the Louisville post
office, so that tbe President had no need
to put a woman in the place.
The native South Oarolinians not un
naturally complain of the present consti
tution of that State, which they say does
not snit its circumstances and size any
more than its political principles. It has
also the fatal defect of “too much ma
chinery,” and is about 300 per cent, more
expensive than the organization of gov
ernment that it superseded. A request
has been made for the appointment of a
commission of seme of the ablest and
most experienced men in the State to
investigate the present constitution and
laws and report.

correct. Germany and England have ob
jected to any war tax at all.”
The limes in its leading article says : “So
far as can be judged, the fortune of war will
be adverse to the Turks. The operations
may not have the rapidity of recent wars,
but the Turks are over matched and must
succumb in the end. This catastrophe Eu
rope will accept. No nation will go to war
again to support that which cannot be sup
ported. No real statesman will cling to a
dead element in a system instead of looking
for its living forces. We know we must
seek for that which is to replace the parting
power; to this we cannot too soon direct
our attention.”

world, and incompatible with the main
tenance of tho British attitude of passive
neutrality. At vhe same time It was inti
mated to the Porte and Khedive that Eng
land was firmly determined not to permit

[By Telegraph to the Morning News.]
Adguhta, June 5.—"A meeting of the Sa
vannah bondholders was held here to-day,
representing $300,000 in bonds. It was re
solved as unwise for Savannah to repudiate
her debt, in part, by scaling either principal
or interest, and snggeetiog a tax of two per
cent, in place of one and a half, and also
that the bondholders are willing to fnnd
the first three coupons on the bonds of
seven per cent.
At a meeting of the Savannah bondhold
ers held in Charleston, representing one
million ot dollars, it was resolved that six
per cent, bonds be accepted in satisfaction
for seven per cent, bonds and past due cou
pons, provided that said new bonds and
coupons be receivable after maturity for all
dues to the city ot Savannah, aud that said
bonds shall be exempt from taxation by the
city of Savannah.

Washington, Jane 5.—Franks, the North

A new element of disturbance is develop
ing itself in Louisiana politics. Senator T.
B. Stamps and James D. Kennedy arrived
thia morning. They report themselves as
forming a part of a committee sent here by
the representative colored men of
Louisiana to see the President. The
other members of the committee, Senator
Dumont, Rev. A. M. Newman and Louis M.
Kenner are en route, and are expected in the
morning. Nothing is known of their inten
tions, although it is rumored they will
strongly recommend Albert W. Leonard for
District Attorney. None of the committee,
they claim, are applicants for office. Burch
remains here to watch them.
General Cutler was called upon by a dele
gation of citizens of the District in regard
to the Commissioner. He referred them to
Mr. Corcoran. The following is an
extract from a report of an interview, pub
lished in the Baltimore Sun: “We are told
that the Republican party is to bo dis
banded, and the Democratic party is to be
disbanded, anu a great Whig party is to
come into life. You had better go to some
graveyard and take off tbe tombstones
names of some Old Line Whigs and
pnt them on yonr application.”
The General here interrupted him
self, and said he had asked one favor of
the President. When he was in command
of the Department of the Gulf during the
war the noble, eminent and patriotic 8ur-
geon-in-chief of the department sacrificed
his life in his labors for his country. His
son, now a promising lad of sixteen years,
desired to enter the Naval Academy. The
boy did not live in General Butler’s district,
or he would have him appointed himself.
He therefore went to the President,

DESTROYED BY A TORNADO.
Cincinnati, June 5.—Mount Carmel, Illi
nois, was nearly destroyed by a tornado last
evening. It was a thriving town of about
three thousand inhabitants, on the Cairo and
Vincennes Railroad. The loss is estimated
at from three hundred to five hundred thou
sand dollars. The same tornado damaged
a number of buildings in other towns lying
in its pathway.
SURRENDERED.
London, June 5.—Private dispatches from
Lima state that Don Nicolas Depredola, the
revolutionist, and his suite have surrendered
themselves to the Peruvian authorities with
the ironclad turret ship H uascar.
THE ENGLISH CORN TRADE.
London, June 5.—The Mark Lane Ex
press in its weekly review of the Bntisu corn
trade says: “Vegetation is very backward,
having made very little progress UDder the
harsh weather which prevailed in May. It is
probable that the acreage under wheat iB
larger this vear than iD 1376, owing to a
more favorable seed time, but the harvest
will entirely depend upon the future
weather, which, np to the present, has not
given promise of a large yield. The growth
ot all cereals has been retarded. The stock
of English wheat in farmers’ hands
is now very low, as the recent rise in value
was too tempting to be resisted and a ma
jority of holders sold ont as soon as symp
toms of a reaction set in. The offerings,
both at Mark Lane and in the country, have
been very meagre, and in spite of the down
ward tendency ot prices, holders of the lit
tle remaining wheat have steadfastly refus
ed to sell at less money, feeling confident
that tbe unusual scarcity would shortly
bring quotations np again. As buyers have
not been of tbe same idea, bnsiness has been
almost at a stand still, and sales could only
have been made at a decline of 3s. to 6s. per
quarter.” .
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
Havana, June 5.—The English mail
steamer has arrived from Vera Cruz, and
brings the following news from tho City of
Mexico to May 30th :
The passage ot Valde3 across the Rio
Grande has created no sensation.
The Judges of the Supreme Court were
installed in the new Cabinet and took their
portfolios to-day.
Diaz is favorable to the Tehnantepec
Railroad project provided that Stevens’
backers are bona fide capitalists and in
earnest.
Diaz has been successful in suppressing
pronuDciamentoes, his experience as a pro-
nunciador proving of service.
Henceforth a guard of twenty soldiers
will accompany each passenger train be
tween the City of Mexico and Vera Cruz.
Licensed gambling houses have been
allowed in the District of Mexico. Those in
the city are divided into three classes. The
first pay $1,500, the second $1,000, and the
third $750 for monthly license. The reason
for this is supposed to be the necessity for
increasing the revenues. Considerable in
dig ation is felt at the measure.

In reply to the congratulatory address
with which he was welcomed to Man.
cheater, England, on Wednesday, ex-
Presid6nt Grant indulged in quite an ex
tended speech.
“It is scare-.ly possible for me,” he
said, “to give utterance to the feelings
evoked by my reception upon yonr soil
from the moment of my arrival in Liver,
pool, where I have passed a couple of
days, until the present moment. After
the scene which I have witnessed in yonr
streets, the elements of greatness, as
manifested in your publio and industrial
buildings, I may be allowed to say that
no person cenld be the recipient of the
honor and attention you have bestowed
upon me without the profoundest feeling.
Sncli have been incited in me, and I find
myself inadequate to their proper ex
pression. It wa.s my original purpose on
my arrival in Liverpool to hasten to Lon
don, and from thence proceed to visit
the various points of interest in
the country. Amorg these I have
regarded Manchester as the most
important. [Hear.) As I have
been aware for years of the great
amount of your manufactures, many of
which find their ultimate destination in
my own country, so I am aware that the
sentiments of the great mass of the peo
ple of Manchester went ont in sympathy
to that country during the mighty strug
gle in which it fell to my lot to take some
humble part. The expressions of the
people of Manchester at the time of our
great trial incited within the breasts of
my oountrymen a feeling of friendship
toward them distinct from that felt to
ward all England, and in that spirit I ac -
cept on the part of my country the com
pliments paid me as its representative,
and thank you.”
At the luncheon which followed, the
ex-President was toasted, and replying
said that Englishmen had got more
speeches and of greater length out of him
tbaD his own countrymen, but they were
poorer because they were longer than he
was accustomed to make.
