Ucncral Grant on Copperheads lie Urge the Klectlou of Cieueral Geary, Washington, October 8. A very prominent Pennsylvania politician, who called upon Gene ral Grant to-day. and had a conversation with him, states that the General was very frank in expressing his dislike to such Copperheads as Clvmer, and was equally open in wishing Gene ral Gearv'a election an Governor of Pennsyl vauia. He states that the General reiterates his lormer statement that any soldier who votes for a Copperhead, such as Heister Clvmer, will dU grace himself. Mr. Beecher to Come Before the People.

' Jodk,"thb Next Social Pboblem. A San Francisco correspondent, wilting on the subject ol immigration to the Htale of California, thinks that the next social problem will bo the status o! the Chinese, in a few months or years he will cioss the liocky Mountain, and begin to Ull up the valley ot the Mississippi. As soon as the Pacific Railriad is completed the path will ba open to him. Millions can be accommodate in the mines on the Pacific coas; but the South with its fields of cotton, rice, and sugar, is the proper place for them, and as she is now pros trated by the ravages of war and the effects of famine, they are needed to recuperate her ixhauEted eDeririee. Boon the "negro question" will be lost in tho "Chinese question," and then will come up the perplexing problem of his fctatiiB ta the community, his contracts, and his privileges. On the l.t of January, 18G7. the Colorado, a pioneer of a new line, between San Francisco and China, will commence her trips, and every arrival will bring from one thousand to fifteen hundred to that port. Capitalists are already discussing the question of contracting with Chinese companies fbi Immense numbers of them to cultivate to cultivate the cotton Holds of the South lor a term of years, at a much cheaper rate than neifro labor can be obtained. Hoou the ilvab-y between the Chinaman und the It'ro will commence, GENERAL BANKS ON THE STUMP. Speech of the General at Chsrltitowa II Explains Ilia Action In Congress The Increase in the Pay of Congress men Only Equalization of Mileage The President a Usurper, Etc. Boston, Octsber 8. General Banks has taken the stump in the district which he represented in the last (iwt-ien of Congress the 8ixth Dlstrlot. He made ais first tpeech in Charitstown, the priuolp.il city in his dim net, this evening, before a very laree sndlence. His speech was quite lone and somowbat hiavy. In the first part ho told his constiiuonts what part no bad taken in the recent Conrro-is, and how mack he had tried to represent them with ability and with train. bpcaking of the part he bad taken in the question of raising the pay ot members ot Congress, bo said this increase ol compensation of members is not an increase of pa, bat It is an equalization of mileage. One gentleman ho sat near me in the bonne re ceived r-KXXlor S10.000, wlil.e 1 only cot S3500, or thereabouts; and those Representatives from the Atlantic istates received similar amount. Mow, I ask, what Jnst ce is there in one Reoresentativt) re ceiving ton thousand and the other three thousand f 1 his rcnticman tnat I have referred to was a man ot vast wealth, i was not. He had no family. I hai one here that I was bound to support. He made no speeches. 1, 1 must confess, made many. It cost him nothing to print. It cost mo about 9204 each to prmt mine. Ibe payor each member's the same, but In anci- nt limes uavel was difhcnlt, and in addition to the pay forty cent a mile was allowed eaoh, and tnus a member from tiie f'acitio coast received several thousand dollars more than ono from the Atlantio coast Now the only p.oper way to remedy this was to equalize ihe mi cape It was necessaiy to dc that at once, so that when toe K"bol States snou'd return to part, eipa'e la tho Govornmont of tl.e nation and by their good conduo:, or by tue lace we shall put upon them, tl.ey nhaU return some time this question shall i e settled. Tne General, in further cxci'tinr himself, said he did not take part in the movement nor assume the rosponsilu'ity of it until li came up in connection with the subject if tho equalization of bounties. He tnen deter mined that wbatover would be the oonsequeuce he would see that the soldiers had a recognition of thnr claims. The equalization of milearo, as caused by the recnt act of Congress, fives to the representative! trom the Atlantio aud Pacilio coat the same compensa tion, without taking one dollar more trom the trea surv than was taken to pay members under the old system. In this connection General Banks said that be understood that one of his New 1 ork friends, a member ot the lat Coupress. had c mo out wita a card, slating- that at tho aoxt session he would ofTor a bill to repeal the ono adooted last vear on the aiih. jectof mcuibi-rB' pay. He (General Banks) would vote lor and perbups Introduce, a bill to reduce the mileape to teu cents a mile. Alter spoaking of the labor question, and pr dieting that tho next Con gress v, uld i atisiy the working men, the General launched out into a ciecusion ot tho tonles ot thn day. lie al'uded to the manner In which the President bad disappointed the parly that elected him, and to tbo is-uo between tho Executive and Congress.

President, Gentlemen of the Fenian Bro therhood: If ever I rogrot'ed tho want of tho kuowledpe ot the English language, it is at the present moment, whon I would wish to exprets to you tn jour own tongue the heartfelt gratitude that I now experience. Various are the honors that have been bestowed upon me during my lifa by my own countrymen as well as by the foreign powers of Europe. Yet they were always conferred upon tne when I was in power, aud men that are in power are always surrouuded by many flatterers, by many adulator, but by very few friends. Yet to-dav an exile from my native soil, a stranger in a oreign laud, the smallest attention shown to me therein the smallest consideration ia my favor, is most highly appreciated; for now! am not in power, and my thanks aro, therefore, unbounded. Yet it would be presumption on my part it I should accept this demons' ration as a personal thing, to my own pelf. No I I accept this demonstration in be half of my native land of Mexico; and, lot me confesi it, it is no surprise to me, and I may say I almost expected it; lor the Irish are the people who shou d, as by natural ties, sj mpatbize with Mexico. Is not its re igion lhat ot my own country f Do we not worship at the same altar T Are not we, like their own Di ope. striving to free our native lard lrom its yokef and why show that unlvursal astonishment that the Fenians should contribute to aid Mexico in becoming once more free from for eign tyranny r And it is not for the firet time your people have extended mo ihoir friendly help W ben Mexico was invaded by that nob e enemy on w hose hospitable roil 1 am now living, whore I had arrayed against roe the powerful armies ot the United Stairs, undertbat immortal hero, General Scott, the flower of my army then were two com panies of men from the Green Isle, and who bore on their flag the image of their patron saint. Why, then, be astonished that thev bow come forward to my aid. Now, like the first time whon Mexico wai lreed lrom ihe dominion of 8pain, and when lite only commenced with me, I bad the glory of being one ol the soldiers who fought for Mexico's independence. Why not aid me now. now when I am the last surviving soldier ol my country's independence 1 I wish to nal the history ot my lite by the same act by which 1 commenced it namely, to secure again lor my country its independence. Yes, gentlemen, this is mv ambition ; this is what I strive to accomplish In a far land and In my last days. If d atn has spared me on the battle-fields, whon from amid the shower ot balls and fire I have oome out unharmed, this, 1 say was not wit limit a i-mma I fui i,.t I will, that I muBt. that I hall secure once more to my native land Us Independence. It is not a false or vain ambition that makes me speak thus. In the few day b that are allotted to me I have all that man can want to make his lire tranquil and peaceful, fhcro are no honor that a nation cad bestow upon its most lavored one that has not been showered upjn mo by Mexico. 1 1 Why, thensuppose for a moment that all my do Bire is to rule again over the destinies of my coun tryf Twelve years I have withdrawn from public lile on foreign soil, deploring the disturbances of my oouutry, yet not joining in its domestio qua -re s. I could not remain silont and see the last faul blow s ruck at my country ' independence. They thought my old sword rusted ; they thought the old soldi r woin out; tlie tried to brand him with inlamy. calling me a Fronch spy. These imputations and slanders give new life to the old soldier. My deeds will defend nie; my voioe is yet of some pretige among mycountrjmen, and my arms strong enough to lead an at my. To gam or to perish is my motto, with IHp or without it. I shall soon again stand on America's soil bearing aloft that banner that 1 p'anted on the wa Is of Vera Cruz when! drove the French from mv land in 39. My voice shall now as then bo strong enough to raise from the dead. My former companions will almost rise from their graves They will help me to free Mex'co again or will dtag me down to dep'ore with them the ruin of mv coun try. Attn Turk Tribune, ' Cablo Patti.

Baltimore, October 7, 1806. This was a grand and important day with our citizens attached to tho Roman Catholic Church. The Plenary Council, the second of its kind ever bold in this country, commenced Its sessions to-day at the Cathedral, on North Charles street. There is a very full attendance of delegates, consisting ot arch, bishops, priests, eto. The procession, composed of the bithops aforetald, and other ecclesiastical digni taries, started from the Archbishop's palace about balf-past 10 o'clock, and moved slowly and solemnly round tbrongh Mulberry and Cathedral streets to the Cathedral door, where the members entered two and two. An appropriate chant was kept up as the procession moved onwards. The bishops were all richly costumed in the.r pontifical robes. Gold and silver ornament-, crosses, etc., wore borne alolt, all glittering in the sunlight. 1'ne crowd ol spectatots assembled in the different contiguous streets was immense. Mot less than fifteen to twenty thousand persons were present. Windows aud doors ot houses were filled, and many roofs covered with those anxious to see. Hundreds climbed np and took positions on trees, that they miht be, enabled to got a view. The Cathediai was filled to its utmost capacity, whilBt thousands lingered outside nuabie to gain admittance. The ceremonies were of a special ordor lor the occasion, peculiarly solomn and imposing. A large number ot persons, gouora lv Catholics, were in attendance irora ew lora, Philadelphia, Washington, and the suirouuding country. After service in the Cathedral had peon ciosed, tho pro cession again marched back to the B shop's palace.

Tho Bcvirtry law does not apply on that occasion. Htnce all constitutional citizens as to residouco, naturalization, etc., will be allowed to vote, pro vided tbo judges will receive their votes. If the voting be general, a close con est is expected bo tween Chapman and Uarvey, the two Mayoralty cimilidutes. Tho chances now seem rather iu favor ot Cua) man. Both, however, aro undoubted Union men. . A gerora' impression pievails that thore will be tojirli times on Wednesday. It is hoped, however, thut these apprehensions may proved groundless. come five or six deaths liavo occurred Irom cho lera in the past few days Tne Health C4mmission ers only report the deaths, omitting the cases. But little aiarni exists. There are no outward indica tions ot sickness.
