Charlottesville, Sept. 25. — Before ltsving Lyucblmrg Hayes addressed his esoort and assembled fellow-oitizens. He bad expeoted a hearty greeting, bnt the popular demonstration has surpassed his expectations. AT CHARLOTTESVILLE. The reception hore was fine. The speeohes were oharaoterized by some im provement in rhetoric, and no deteriora tion in patriotism of length. It iB no- tioeable in reports of these speeolioB that accompanying journalists show signs of wearineBB by their omission of brackets, enotosing cheers, laughter and applause. MB. EVABTC was introduced, who, alluding to Char lottesville as the home of Jefforson, said there wkb no spot in Virginia more at tractive to the people of the United States than that oity. Whatever places the citizens of the country may have assigned to the great men of their States, it oannot be denied that Thomas Jefferson was onr great leader ain the Congress of the wisest and best men of this country. The lead of the historical roll, to be remem bered forever and ever, in the Declaration of Independence that fell to Virginia, is the person of Thomas Jefferson. He lives again in the great University of Virginia. Hr. Evarts (hen paid a glowing tribnte to this institution, saying that as Bare as the principles of Jefferson are be the leading principles of the Government, jnst bo Bare mnst the University ever be one of the great insti tutions of the country. He next referred to the President end the principles ho bad laid ont for the government of the country, and spoke of the endorsement they bad received form ell sections. He had been invited to visit all seotions, for the people wanted to see the faoe of the man who had given new proBpeots, new hopes and joy to the land. All this was M pleasant to the President as it was to the people, for in the responses of snob crowds as this, he knows whether the North and South had hopes and desires alike. MB. KEY in response to cells and beingjintrodnoed, said: I am highly gratified at the oall upon me. Nothing I could say would be of particular servioe to you. All I could say would be to oheor yon on. The times are improving and we are all glad. [Cheers end laughter. ] THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA AND MONTI OELLO. The visitors were then taken in car riages to the University of Virginia, where some time was spent in inspecting the building end enjoying tbe hospitality of the managers of the institution. They were next driven to Monticello, the for- Exchange, met home of Jefferson, aftor which they returned to the oity and took dinner at tbe Parish House. The party left at 4 p. M., en route for Washington. ABBIVED AT WASHINGTON. The Presidential party arrived at 8 o’olook. niOHMOND TRIP POSTPONED.

Driving toward the Cary neighborhood the other day, a stranger from Virginia, who was hunting up some acquaintances, met a woman on the highway. She loomed up like a giantess, was bare-foot ed, hadn’t any bustle, ami her long arms kept measured time with her steps. She walked in the centre of the road, and as the vehicle approached she sung out Shy out of the road, thar, or I’ll run your boss down.’ The gentlemq^ pulled up, and tho wo man halted at the horse’s head, and con tinned: “Mister, you wnnt to shy to the right when you meet a team in this country ! ” “Where is the teem ?” he asked. “Bight here, mister inau!

GILBERT THORNTON Have fine imported and domestic Hogars, at wholesale and retail; also fine smoking and chewing Tobacco. sep28 se21 Hundreds of turfmen assembled in Fleetwood Park yesterday afternoon to witness tbe great trot for $2,000, Mr. Charles Green having offered two weeks ago to trot, and name at tho post, a homo, to go as he pleased, against John Hplau’s famous trotter Barus in harness. Green’s horse proved to be Great Eastern, undor saddle. The track was in splendid condi tion. Among the prominent horsemen present were : David Bonnor, Chas. Back- man,Hhepliord F. Knapp,Edward Kearney, Wm. II. Vanderbilt, Seaman Lotoheu- stein, Alfred Bichmond, S. Foster Dew ey, ex Commissioner Kelso, Allen Bonner, William Griswold, Charles Kimpland and Ed. Gilmore. Fast time wus anticipated and realized, Groat Eastern trotting iu 2:16}, the faHtost on record to saddle, beating May Bird's time by four seconds, which was the fastest time over trotted heretofore iu Fleetwood Park. May Bird’s time to saddle was 2:19j{. The spectators wore perfectly wild when tbe tiiuo of the heat was announced. Promptly at two o’clock the judges rang tho bell. Charles Green appeared on tbo bay gelding Great Eastern, and John Splan was behind Barns. Before starting Barus was tbe favorite at $100 to $.">0 for Groat Eastorn. First Heat—There was a good send off in the first attempt, Barus taking tho lead. Groat Eastern wont iu the air at the turn. Barus trotted Hleudily past tho quarter in ilfi.j seconds, beiug four lengths in advauce. Splan was ready for desper ate work, but Great Eastern kept break ing. Barus past tho hutf mile iu 1:14, leading threo lengths. Splau made ; no effort to send Barus along tho reHt of tho beat and orossod the soore on a jog, tak ing tbo heat by one length in 2:33. Second Heat.—Tho betting was the same. When tho homes got tho word, Great Eastern had a little tho best of it. At the turn bo broke. At the quarter, iu 33$ seconds, Barus was leuding by one length. At tho half mile post, iu 1:07$, Barus still maintained his lead by three- quarters of a length. Around tbe lower turn, "Great Easturu closed the gup ut ovory stride, and passed Barus while swinging into tbe liomostretoh. Barus, by fast trotting, nearly gained I he lead, but Great Eastern took tho lead, by a head, in 2:1H. Third Heat.—The horses wero givon a long waiting spoil before being brought out again. At the first attempt they got under way head and head, both trotting fast. On tbe turn Groat EaHteru, with an extraordinary burst of Hpeod, led oue length at the quarter in 33 seconds. Going down the baokstretoh both settled to business, but Barus could not take the lead. Great Eastern passed the half mile pole iu 1:05}. On the homestretch there was an exciting struggle, Hplan with all tho skill known to the profession,was tirg* ing on Barus, and Churlio Greeu was seen lifting and shaking Great Eastern. Every one Raw that Kurus wus gaining ground inch by inch, but tbe paoe was too hot for him. and lie broke. Great East ern, trotting with wonderful speed, took the heat from Barus by five lengths in tho unparalleled time of 2:15}, making tho fastest mile ever trotted to saddle. Barus trotted the beat in 2:16}. Fourth Heat.—Great Eastern was now tbe favorite. The word wos givon on the third score, with Great Eastern loading— au advantage that Churlio Greeu was bound to turn to good purpose. Great Eastern passed by the quarter-polo in 32 j seconds. Barus was u length behind and breaking. Down tho baokstretoh the positions were unchanged. Groat East ern passing the half-mile polo, one length in front of Barns, in 1:04J, which is tho fastest half mile ever trotted. On tho lower turn, before reaohing tho three- quarter pole, Barus made a double break. Great Eastesn drew away, and at the head of the stretch was six lengths in front. Whan Barns caught his gait, ho gradu ally gained on Great Eastern, who broke. Tbe horses wont under tho wire, head and head, in 2:18}. The Judge decided it n dead heat. Fifth Heat.—A great many said that the result of the heat was a forgone con clusion, that Barns would win tho trot. After tbe usual time, tho horses wero called. On the third attempt the horses wero started. At tho first quarter the frionds of Groat Eastern were}sanguinethat he would w»in, when he shot past in 33 onds. Barus was about a length behind. These positions wero not varied at the half, iu 1:06.1. Great Eastern then broke, and Barus drew away, and took the beat easily, by throe lengths in 2:21 Sixth Heat:—Groat Eastern looked tired, and it was almost certain that tho heat would be taken by lUniH, who at the word started with a good gait. Barns took tho load, and moving easily, passod tho quarter in 30}“seconds, mid was first at the half on a jog in 1:124. Great Eas tern was two longths behind. Barus trotted steadily and won the boat and raeo by threo lengths in 2:27j. MAINE’* LHlIIOIt LAW WORKS. FILLING THE INSTITUTION TO WHICH 11AN- GOR HA1»E GRANT WELCOME. From tho Boston Post.] Bangor, Me., Bept. 8.—There are bore employed, by tho county sheriff, deputies whoso business it is to scent out planus where liquor is sold. Ohsorvo that those deputies receivo no salaries! Their sole reward accrues to them in tho form of fees, which they gain for fidelity iu their degrading duty. It must bo speoinlly re marked that these spies obtain their fees wheuevor they make a search or seiz ure, whether tbeso result iu conviction or not. Thus a strong temptation is offered thorn to importiueutly thrust their noHus into everybody’s business. Home of them recently sooreted themsolvos by uight in a church steeple, form which aerial height they watched next day a house iu the neighborhood. Auothor was roeoutly de tected sneaking about a Masouic hall. They havo also disguised themsolvos as common tramps iu tho pursuit of their calling. Those spies are of course indifferent to the sacrediiCsH of other people’s property, provided they can but gain their filthy lucre. Hero is au instance of their rap acity. Homo time ago the chemicals of a highly respected photographer iu this city were seized, and tho cases containing them rudely broken open. Happily the contents escaped injury, but ovon if they had been harmed there would have been no rodress for him save by an expensive and tedious resort to law. Iu the instance he protested, hut the reply was that the deputies had acted iu the discharge of their duty. A photographer was as liable to import liquor ns any oue eluo, and therefore must bo watched! Tho deputies pocketed their feu, aud weut on their way rejoioiug. According to the statutes of Maine, if a teamster is found earning a little money by transporting from one place to another iu the country or oity oven a demijohn of liquor, a case of beer, or a barrel of cider intended for sale, ho is liable to a fine of $50. It is a oomtuon practice iu Bangor for meu to sell liquor from flasks which they carry iu their pockets. It can be imagined what sort of liquor this must be. ()u the slope of Hammond street is a handsome stone edifice,with a bnok front adorned with granite triuimiugs. O. or the door of this building, upon tho occa sion of President Grant’s visit to the city, was displayed with exquisite tact the word “Weloome.” It is the j ml. Home of tho boarders are women, who follow the spouses thither, inspired with that im mortal principle. 4 I uevor will des»rt M Micawber.” Their crime const* ts in hav ing sold liquor whi o their hu-ibands were already incarcerated f^r the same • flense. Thus husbands and wives are lodged once more together, and fed at the county ex** penso. Meanwhile, what hocoiues of their children ? They aro put into the almshouse, aud nourished at tho city ex pettse. Adjoining tho jail is a workshop. It was erected some threo years ago by tho county ut an exponso of about $22,000. Glowing pictures were drawn of tire util ity of convict labor, and the Prohibition ists shouted with delight at tho thought of turning the convicted liquor sellers to a profitable aoconnt. A skillful mechanic was placed over the business. He was to touch the prisoners to make doors, Hashes, blinds, etc. lie was also to pay tho coun ty fifty cents por day for each man. So fair did all things look that tho county even allowed tho jailor more money for the board of eaoh prisouor who workod ; and tho women of the orusude clapped their hands. Tho experiment has boon faithfully tried. Look, if you please, at the result. Tho manager of tbe business is completely discouraged, lie has him self loHt over $8,000 in his hopeless at* tempts to fulfil his contract, without re ceiving oue cout reward for his throe years’ services; aud ho has asked to ho allowed to close his manufactory before his term expires rather than ho utterly ruined. Tho explanation which he gives is a very simple one. Hore are its chief points : About nine-tenths of the prison ers are sent to jail either for rum selling or rum drinking. Tho first aro indignant, and won’t work ; the second aro poisoned by tho vile stuff which, thanks to tho Pro hibitory law, is sold in socrot and disrupt ntahlo places, and cau’t work.

A letter has just been received by Prof. Osborn, of Oxford, Ohio, written from Jerusalem under date of June 15th, giv ing details of a visit to the tomb of David. The writer, Dr. De Haas, U. H. Consul, at that place, says that the visit was made during the rooent passover. The nilding is about five hundred feet south of the Zion gate, itself the most southern gate of Jerusalem. It has long been knot'll as tho tomb of l)avid and contains an uppor chnmhor whore, according to tradition, tho Lord’s supper was insti tuted. Tho building has massive founda tions, aud tho “upper room” is construct ed with heavy groined arches. Tho so called tomb in made of marble por phyry, covorod with a pall of embroider ed cloth wrtb the Arabic letters in gold. “O, David, verily thou art a sovereign prince in all the earth.” Prof. Osborn says that the tomb was visited by a lady whom he met iu Jerusalem some years ago, and with much the same results as to observations, except that Dr. Do Haas has d ; scovered a door walled up leading to the crypt containing tbe tomb. This walled-up way is supposed to lead to the actual tombs of the kings, and the so- called tomb is only a cenotaph. Home time ago a plan made by a Turkish archi tect of tho tombs of the Hebrew Mosque was obtained and published by Professor Osborn in his geographic notices of the city, tho accuracy of whioh was testified to by Dean Stanley in his account of the visit of the Prince of Wales.
