I London Truth, Novembers.] General and Mrs. Grant arrived in England a few days before the cele bration of Her Majesty’s birthday, from temporary political degredation . an ,| an invitation was at once sent to to rise again like splieii^itl planets to the zenith of former greatness. In the anomalous condition of political affairs in the South, with a vast amount of uneducated citizenship that might be misled to the injury of all, can we safely cut loose from tho palladium of party organization ? * Shall individu ality bemuffle itself with the externals Democracy and cast out its flag to invite the opposition to rally under it at the hazard of dividing ihat political power which all must acknowledge has borne us to redemption from Radical oppression and crime ? Have we not recently seen the apparent disband ment of the Republican organization in Goori(i» tUtoCMI Oy xl of our worst enemies at the North, that it is a wise policy —one of dividing conquering wul governing. Thisis the only hope left to the Republican them to dine witji Lord Derby at the Foreign Office; hut, on learning that the Ambassadors would have prece dence, the General, with thanks, de clined. Eventually, both he and Mrs. Grant attended the birthday banquet at Apsley Honse, but they did not accept the invitation until they leirnt they were to have the chief seats. It certainly is difficult to see why Gen eral Grant, who has now no official position, should be “attended by in aide de-camp,” and insist on royal honors for himself and his wife; but, as this is the case, all ought to con form to it.

We were all seated at the table in this immense ha 1, decorated with French and American flags interblendcd. We were impatiently awaiting the soup and the Madeira of 1825, when Gen eral Noyes, who presided, got up and signified by an impressive ges ture that he wished to make a speech. “Gentlemen and ladies,’’said Im, “I call ujjon the Reverend Father Hitchcock to pronounce a blessing on these viands.” These ’unlucky words had hardly escajK-d the General’s li|>s, wIkjii the Reverend Father Hitchcock in ques tion popped up on to l*is legs, a- if impelled by a powerful spring. With closed eyes ami forefingers pressed together, ho implored the Divine blessing for a quarter of an hour, discoursing during that lime ujioii progress, upon civilization, upon the brotherhood of nations, upon educa tion, upon the Turco Russian war— in short, upon everything except the viands which he hud been requested to bless. The Americans could not conceal their astonishment at such extraordinary eloquence from the Reverend Father Hitchcock. The soup, the fish were coldj; the meats, blessed at such great length, consis ted of one solitary boiled dish, and the butler did uot bring on one-half the wines announced on the carte. Several hungry people, who had bought tickets very dear at an agen cy, had the had taste to demand their money hack. 1877.
