Military Display, ud gcemes attha Ualon Liifui Club. The day before the erand review of General Grant's army at Washington, In 1865, General Philip Shenoau was ordered to Texas to quell the last vestige ot rebellion then existing in the boutb, and the soldiers wbo hail fought under him In the Houthwest, bat had followed him th roil ph. Virginia, from Harper's Ferry to Ap pomattox, were deprived on the next uay of the pleasure of saying "good bye," and of manifest ing their devotion to their old commander. In the same position were the President and his Cabinet, and probably the largest concourse oi people ever seen in the capital ot the nation. Last evening the greater portion of those dis appointed on that day the -soldiers had the long-sought-for opportunity of showing how much love they bore the hero of Winchester and Five Forks. The demonstration of last evening was not by any means the stereotyped ovation given to great men but one actuated Dioie by love and gratitude than a mere curiosity to see a great soldier. It is quite evi dent that General Mbcridan la no seeker after the attentions which have been paid to him. To escape the crowds of people who want him to receive the hospitalities of their cities, vil lages, or hamlet", he lelt the Filth Avenue Ilotel very early in the morning, and only returned in the afternoon to dine wiih General Butterfleld, General Ingalls, and a lew other friends. After dinner he drove out, and spent tne balance of the afternoon among his iriends. The reception In the League House In the evening partook of the nature of that of the street, and was as enthusiastic as it could be Inside ot a mansion. The League House was handsomely decorated, the main hall being fes teoned with flags and banners. On one of the latter the name ot the Club was inscribed, and on another "Unconditional Loyalty." Fronting the staircase was the banner "Shenandoah," and above this a bust ol Washington, on each Blue of which was an American nag. rue dome over the staircase was tilled with small banners, n which were the inscriptions; "New Or leans," "Winchester," "Strasburg," "Five Forks," "Petersburg," "Mission Kidge," and other well-known battle-fields. The reception room and parlors were not de corated any more than usual, 11 we except a photograph repretenting Kheridan in council with Generals Foray the, Morrltt, Custer, and Devins. To the left ot this was a splendid pho tograph of General Sickles. The rooms were crowded with members ot the clubs, military naval officers, and invited guests. The General was expected to be present at 8 o'clock, but it was near 9 when he made his ap pearance. He was accompanied by his stall, and as he entered the building the band from Governor's Ltland, which was Btationed in the hallway on the second story, greeted him with the air of "Hail to the Chief." He was Imme diately conducted to the reception room, where the President of the Club. Mr. John Jay, made the address of welcome in the following words: ADDRESS OV TUB PRESIDENT. Gentlemen of the Club: To-nlgbt we add another name to tlie roll of heroes and statesmen whom. Id this Union Square, id Ibe name of the loyal citizens of New York, we have welcomed to our metropolis. 31 ad he come In the earlier years of the war, he would liave been balled as the dashing cavalry ofllcer who recalled to us the Held of Perry vllle and Nolmisville, Kone iUver, Missionary Ridge, and across the Ctiicka hoiiuliiy to the yellow tavern in Iront of Richmond. A little later, and we should have greeted the mot brilliant otticer of the war, wbo had sent Early whirling through Winchester, and whose memo ries or Opequun and Flaher'B Hill had been eclipsed by the energy and magnetism with whluh, after bis ride through tbe Valley, be Inspired bis scattered and demoralized forces, and snatched the victory from an exultant, enemy. Now, be ooraes to us when the war la ended and when the grand Issue for which we are contending Is speedy reconstruction of tbe country upon the basis of per manent peace and equal Justice; and our guest stands before tbe nation displaced from the most Important post at New Orleans, la the Fifth Military District, on tbe charge publicly preferred by the President himself In his correspondence with General Grant, that General Bl.erldan's rale has been obuoxloos and tyrannical. Mindful of tbe delicacy that forbids in the presence of an army otticer (however wronged) tbe (lightest disrespect to bis Coin iuander-ln-Cb let. I may soy without trenching upon that rule, that in bis Judgment and treatment ot General Sheridan we think the President has made a mistake. I may go turtber lu referring to that correspondence which has been submitted by tbe President to the judgment of the country, and I believe I faitblully In terpret your senliuieiils when I add that we concur In the views there expressed by the Oeneral-In-Cblet, acting as Secretary of War. General Grant said: "General Khertdan has pertormed his civil duties," not obnoxiously and tyrannically, but "faithfully and Intelligently. His removal will only be regarded as an effort to deleat the laws or Congross. ft will be Interpreted by the unreconstructed element la the South those wbo did all they could to break up the Government by arms, and now wish to be the only element consulted as to tbe method ol restoring order as a triumph. It will embolden them to renewed Opposition to the will of the loyal masses, believing that they have tbe Executive with them." huch whs the grave and measured warning given by tbe chief ot the army wbo bad broken the Hehel lion to pieces, wbo knows whereof be speaks, who Bl eaks not as a prtlsan but a patriot, and who has been recognised by the world at large and by the Rebels themselves as a generous anl inaKiiaulmous foe. That deliberate Judgment ot General Grant would fo far to satisfy us upon tbe charge of tyranny If we new Dothlug oursefves of Ibe umeconstructed ele ment with wblcb General Hhertdun and General blckles have bad to deal, or the fixed determination or Rebel sympathizers at the North to prevent tbe re cont' ruction of tbe republic, uulesa In such a manner that they might rule the Government they had fulled to ruin. While Lonicstreet and Jen". Thompton and other of the bravest Confederate Generals wbo have returned to tbelr allegiance, recom mended to the Boutti Immediate reconstruc tion under tbe Military act, administered as It has been with mild beneficence, more tiubborn Confede rates like Robert Toombs and Ileracbel V. Johnson are ready, as Id the olden time, for nullification, and call for the formation of a Democratio antl-Coustruo-tlon party, declaring that their only hope Is In a Northern reaction. That cry Is re echoed by the Northern faction, whose leaders hastened to repudi ate tbe very name of loyalty, and who. as South erners, declare luied thebouth Into Rebellion by pro mine of support. These repuuutors of loyalty, aa early as January, 1661. declaring the Republic dis solved, proposed to separate tbe city of New York both from tbe Union and from the btate; next tbey attempted to cripple the etllclenjy and Impair tbe credit of tbe Government, and again, incredible as It may teem, they secretly conferred with Lord Lyons, stud invited British Intervention. 1 heir own favorite orator J Mr. James T. Brady, de clared Id Tammany Hall when the war was ended thai tbe Democratic party bad been fnlse to the In stincts, principles, and uuamonsoiiuimii.il. i u greatest need they leslsted tbe draft, and threatened repudiation of the national debt.

Time baa already begun to verify the anticipations of General Grant, and the country honors him for re-mi- -dug the President that ibis la a teoublln where the will of the people Is tut i law of the land;' and pr aently, gentlemen. It will be tor the loyal people to aceto U that tulr voice la htard and their wlil General Bberldan.we most cordially welcome you to New York aa a soldier whose brilliant services bave aided the preservation of our nationality vva Sreet you also aa a commander whose dllUcuit civil ullea In the noble work or reconstruction have been perlormed with singular wisdom and fidelity; aad yet again we thank you as one whose bouor baa beou proof alike agalust fear and favor, aud who, aoorpiug tbe gloaseeof a lax morality, keeps pare and brlLt bis oath as a soldier, and talthlully obeys the laws of tbe republic Gentlemen, I bave tbe honor and plea sure of preeeollug K you our Illustrious awwl, Ueowal bberldan. At times there were manifestations of ap plause, especially when General Grant's letter to the President protesting against the removal of Rheridan was read. The General seemed a little disconcerted at first, but he soon recovered and replied to Mr. Jay's remarks in a calm ( onveisatlonal manner, yet loud onongh to let those surrounding him hear every word he eald. Mr. President, and Gentlemen ot the Club: 1 have scarcely lanKuage to express the very great apprec a tion that I bave for your very warm and hearty wel come. 1 only hope that I mny be able hereafter to dererve the same approval In all my acts. I certainly know that heretofore I have not. and I believe that hereafter I shall never by any act ol mine attempt to '" reiieuion nonuranie. (t ries or "Hood, good," and cheers.) Rebellion Is a crime, and It should not be made honorable. ( Bravo," "Good," aud cheers.) I thank you. (Tnree cheers.) The reruaik that Rebellion would not be male honoraole by his consent awakened intense enthusiasm, amid which some one proposed three cheers, which were giveu in a very strik ing manner. Alter tbe speeches those present were Intro duced to the General and hn staff. Afterwards the latter were, conducted to an upper room, where a supper was prepared. No speeches were made. TLe line moved promptly at 10 o'clock, and parsed through Fourth street to Broadway then cc to Fourteenth street, to Fifth avenue, to Twrntj-thlrd street, and down Broadway to Union Square, where the regiments were massed iu columns, and a'.l the bantu half a dozen In number were stationed in trout. Behind all v. ere the people, who occtip'ert the fcpacc lrom the Everett House to the west side ot Bre ad way. packed as densely as they could be. Tnen all the bands commenced to play confusedly "Hail to the Chief," which brought General S'aerlilan npon the balcony. For fully ten minutes noihma could be hear J but cheers and ciclun ations o( delight from the masses below. When order wai restoied Mr. Jay made his second speech, introducing the General to the crowd. He paid: "Fellow-cltlrn I am deputed by the TJnlon League Club to present to you this evening the guest or the night, who now stands before you. (Three cbeers for the Union League.) The tame of onr guest has assembled this Immense crowd on this historic spot; for. since the fall or Humter, Union Hyuare bai bad blstor.cmtmorles of its own. (Cheers.) In this Immense assemblage are tbe veterans of tbe war, t'if compauloi sdn-arms of the great general by my side (cheers), regiments of our national guards, and members of theGrand Army of tb Republic (cheers), and the loyal men of New York and this vicinity. 1 ou all recognize In Blierldan (cheers) a General whose name Is Identldod with the most tllrring events of the war, wnose exploits will live in honor and his tory, aud w buse very presence was an InsulraLlnn tn b s troops, converting defeat Into victory. (Immense applause.; whiib we rememoer an mat General tdierldan did In the fle'.d for tbe preservation of the country tr.aee s) on Missionary Kidge.

(cheers) that tbe military services of Sheridan aa Military Commander were performed w ith fidelity and Intelligence, and that the country owes blm a new debt of gratitude lor those services. (Applause, and cries ot r'We know all that." "Sheri dan," 'Sheridan.") Gentlemen, I introduce to you Tour great guest, the great soldier ot the war, Geueral Phil. Sheridan. (Six cbeers for Sheridan.) UMl General Sheridan replied as follows: GENERAL SHERIDAN'S SPEECH. Comrades: I desire to thank you for the kind reception you have given me here to-Digbt. I snail always recollect It as one of the proudest events that ever occurred to me. I know that I am couuected with you by many ties. I know that we have endured tbe dungere! and enjoyed the triumphs of a long war. I recollect with what alacrity tbe volunteer force of this city turned out when tbe country was in danger. I recollect tbe manner in which tblsileagiiesusiained us In these dark days, and I shall never lortiet them. I must again say to you bow highly I feel honored by the demonstration this evening; and especially do i feel honored aa I bave always held that tbe men In the ranks were the true men of the war. (Great en thusiasm aud repeated cbeers for the General.) Wben he concluded, the Joy ot the people was In tense, and cheer after cheer went up tor film. Then tbe band played tbe "Star-Spangled Banner." To-day the reception In Rrooklyn takes place, and although the Uoard of Aldermen refused to olUclaily receive tbe General. It Is very sure bis welcome, on the part of the Mayor and the citizens generally, will be as marked as any that has et taken place. Gene ral Robert-, tbe Postmaster, made all the arrange ments yesterday. General Bberldsn and staff, accom panied by General Pleasanton and General Helntzel man, will reach Wail street ferry, by Government tug, at 2 o'clock; and there will be met by a brlgude of soldiers under command of General JesHe O. tsrultb, consisting of the following regiments 18th, Colonel Jourdau; 14th, Colonel Fowler; Lid, Colonel C. A. l'ratt; oxtli, colonel J. Q. Adams; 47th, Colonel J. Mtserole. WASHING TON G 0SS1P. Chief Justice Chase's Court In Richmond The Trial of Jeff. Davis. Washington, Sept. 30. An adjourned session of tbaftlay term of tbe District Court ot the United States will commence In Richmond, Va., to-morrow. L. H. Chandler, District Attorney, left here yesterday lor Richmond. Among the cases to be tried are those of Hon. John S. Pen dleton, indicted lor perjury In registration, and Judge Henry W. Thomas, for alleged violation ot the Civil Eights law. These cases, it ia said, are attracting a good deal of interest in and about Richmond. I learn from an authentic source that Jell, Davis will be put on trial at the No vember term of the United States Circuit Court, at which Judge Chase is expected to preside, It', however, he should not be present, it is more than probable that Mr. Davis' counsel will ask for a continuance of the case, from their unwil lingness to allow him to be tried before J u.lge Underwood. It may be that the Government will not go into the trial. In any event District Attorney Chandler will be ready. There are no indications that the proceedings against Mr. Davis will be discontinued. Senator Cameron and the Pennsylvania Campaign. There ia a family quarrel between the Repub licans ot Pennsylvania, which threatens an open rupture of the party in that State. The matter grew out ot Jealousy among the leaders as to who bhould manage the campaign. Morton and Colfax, and their Presl denttal Claim. The contest lor the Presidential succession ?:rows more animated as the time approaches or the meeting of the Convention. It has transpired, through the friends of both parties, that Speaker Colfax and Senator Morton are about to bury the tomahawk and smoke the plpe.of peace; in other words, Senator Morton proposes abandoning his Presidential aspira tions and throwing his influence in favor of Colfax. In case th Utter is successful, Morton wants a seat in tbe Cabinet. Tha President to Resist Removal Pending" 1 in peach meat. The President, in a conversation to day with an old friend from Tennessee, reiterated his in teution to resist any effort of Congress to remove blm, pending tbe result of his trial on any arti cles of irnpeacuBient that may bo preferred against him. Affair In Richmond White and Black - Republican at Loggerheads. Information from Richmond, Va., thts even ing, states that prominent members of tbe white man's wing of the Republican party have repu diated the secret action of the Union leagues in proposing candidates for the Constitutional Convention, and during the day have issued calls for. nubile meetings iu the. l'crent wards of the city fr purpose of framing a aultable ticket. In Madison Ward the meeting was organ ized by the election of H. G. Bond aa President. A permanent organization was effected, aud an executive committee appointed. A resolution appointing a committee of nine to meet com mittees from other wards for the purpose of per fecting the organization of the Republican party Id the city was adopted. District Attorney Chandler was present. The meeting was har monious. In Monroe Ward a permanent organi zation was effected, and an executive committee appointed. A motion to select delegates to the Convention on the 14th of October was rejected. . Y. herald. Hffitat mt the president' Comrae, A WMBfcgtoa despatch, to the Stoa 4drr. ti'tr ttiy'.

The first effect of the President's late course was to damncn the ardor of Bcpublicons, seriously to retard the work of reconKtiuction, and greatly to embolden tho Rebels. The reception which Mr. Johnson's acts bave met at the North bas caused a marked reaction, and matters are now looking better. Alabama is considered good for 60.000 Union majority by the beet posted men In various parts of the State. In North Carolina nearly all the differeTicpB been Republicans bave ben settled, and the diaffrc'ion of Ooodloe and his clique, it is Uioucht, will produce no appreclible trou ble. Florida Is cousldercd as certain for the Uoion ticket, while affairs tn Mississippi and Arkansas look hopeful, and are becoming more so daily. The Union party In Virginia has from the first been in an unsettled condition, but matters are now improving, and, while the con test will be close, the State Is considered ante. Throughout the whole Shenandoah valley the people seem convinced that Mr. Johnson means trouble. It is averted by well-informed and trustworthy parties that an ex-Confederat General ot considerable note bas of late mlnnledj generally with the Rebels of that rection in d s cufsinir plans for organization in certain con tingencies. FROM EUROPE BY STEA3IER. HOLLAND. Speech of the King at the Opening of the Legislative Scston The Luxembourg (tuestlon and Treaty of Loudon. The Hague, Sept. 16. The legislative session of 18C7-18 of the States General of Holland was opened at 1 P. M. to-day by the King of Holland iu person, with a speech from the throne. His Majesty said: Gentlemen: It is always with true pleasure that I open the Legislative session. Tbe ac complishment of this task is doubly agreeable to me to-day, when I have satisfactory commu nications to make to you upon the situation of tbe country. The dissolution of the ties which united one of our provinces to Germany, effected during the past year, has since obtained internationitl sanction by the Lendon treaty ot May 11 last. I entertain the hope that when experience shall have proved the harmlessne&s of tbe works executed in the Eastern Scheldt, our relutioua with Belgium will more and more aeouire a character of reciprocal friendship. I am glad to be able to announce to you that we continue to entertain the best relations with all other (oreien power. Although it is aureeable to allude to the praise worthy manner in which the army and navy acquit themselves in their duties, I find myslf, nevertheless, forced to ask your assistance for the purpose of giving some extention to our re gular forces, In the meantime care will be taken to drill the National Guard so far as the existing laws permit. Measures are beiug adopted to subdue, with the aid of Provideuce. the epidemic that has aeaiu appeared in some lucidities of our country. The efforts made to etadicate the ca'.tlo plaeue have been crowned with success. For a long time pat only a few sporadic cases of this epi zootic malady have been observed. During the year that has elapsed public and private education has continued to form tbe object of my careful attention. Yon will Imme diately be invited to disciiss tho bill upon uni versity education. A bill intended to lighten tbe burden imposed npon the periodical press by the stamp duty will also be laid before you. Commeroe, navigation, and trade are in a favorable position. You will bo asked to ex amine new arrangements for tbe veriticatious of weights and measures, and a bill upon the regu lation of the pawnbroking system. The harvest generally has been good, but the products oT maritime fisheries have been less abundant. The works noon the State railways are being actively carried on, and the comple tion of some of them will not be long delayed. Two new lines,- executed by privats enterprise, will soon be opened to the public. If the pre sent estimates are realized, the revenue will suffice during the current year for the require ments of the public service, and to continue the works npon the State railways without there being a necessity to resort to extraordinary measures. The bill respecting the financial policy of the Ministers, the bill reeulatiug the Board of Con trol over the State finances, with certain bills intended to simplify tbe levy of the succession duties, will subsequently be laid before you. Your deliberation upon tbe bill for a new code ot criminal procedure will facilitate the intro duction of the new judicial organization. With the same object, I snail cause a bill for revising the judicial districts to be immediately brought in. You will also probably have the opportunity of discussing a new bill upon tbe code of civil procedure in the course of the present session. A measure upon consular jurisdiction, with various bills relating to a partial revision of the military criminal codes, will soon be com mnnlcnted to the chambers. An opportunity will also be afforded you of taklne into con sideration the organization of the State police. Tbe numerous requirements and difference of opinion with reference to colonial, affairs have not failed to exercise their Influence npon the situation of onr possessions in the East Indies. My first care will consequently be devoted to the interest of tbe State In those countries, avoiding everything which might compromise public tracqmlity or excite the discontent of the native populations. I shall willingly lend my assistance to the development ol agriculture and private enter prise, provided other interests are not compro mised thereby. I have beard with reeret that an earthquake has caused numerous deaths in part of the island ol Java. The situation ot the Dutch possessions in the West Indies continues to be cenerally satisfactory, although the neces sity or Importing laborers into Surinam is still largely felt. Orher labors also await yon. They will open a vast field for your zeal for the interests en trusted to your charge. May they, under God's blessing, contribute to the welfare of the coun try. I now declare the ordinary session of the States General open. Markets by Telegraph. New York, Oct. 1. Stocks heavy.

He held a Colonel's commis sion in the United States army during the Mexican Wr, commanding the 2d Regiment oi Missouri Volunteers, and on July 20 1847, was promoted to the rauk of Brigadier General of United States Volunteers.

A Ilotel Keeper Impaled He Falls from a Third-storjr Window Death from Hemorrhage In Fifteen Minutes. Coroner Clawfon was summoned yesterday afternoon to hold an inquest on the body of Mr. Robert Wallace, of the firm of Wallace & Ewing. proprietors of the New York hotel. situated on Pcnn street, near O'Hara, in the Fifth Ward, wbo as killed by tailing from the third-story of the hotel building. The deceased, it appears, had been in the habit of occasionally going to the upper stories in the rear part of the hotel, to watch the rata in the vard. Yesterday, about noon, he waa 6een to go into the back room ot the third story, and look down into the yard. It is supposed that while looking out of the window he lost his balance, and fell down into the yard. In the descent, his right leg struck the point of a sharp fianel ot the fence with such force as to cut a arge gash in it, from which the blood flowed profusely. Tbe injured man was picked up, and carried into the hotel, and Drs. A. M. Karr and T. W. Bhaw called In. The physicians discovered that the femoral artery of the leg had been severed, but by the time tbey arrived all eflorts to save him were unavailing, and tbe injured man died in about filteen minutes after tbe accident. The physi- i . i. -. . i. i i. . . j umiiii mnw mat me uuiy injury BDSuttnea Was the severing of the artery mentioned, and that if tbe artery had been closed as soon as the Injured man was picked up, the great loss of blood, which caused his death, would have been prevented, and his life would probably have been saved. Tbe coroner's lurv. after exa mining several witnesses, returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by accident ally laliing out of a third story window. .The deceased wus about forty -three years of age, and leaves a wife and family to mourn his loss. JPittsburg Dispatch, Sept. 30. Terrible Boiler Explosion at Newark, N.J. -Two Jlen Killed. Shortly after 9 o'clock: last evening a fearful casualty occurred at the immense brewery or Kbehald fe Ueltel, la Rankin street, between Orange and Springfield avenues, Newark, caused by the explosion of one of the large boilers situated In tbe basement at the west wing. The wing is Ave stories in height, built of brick. About one-half of the boiler was blown through the first story wall, undermlulug the structure, which caused an immense reserve tub in the fifth story to oome down, carrylug with it the entire front wail, tweuty-flve feet in width, together with the Iront portlou of the side wall, tilling the lower part of the building and tbe street with the debris, and burying un derneath the engineer, Frederics: Kuelsler, and tbe stableman, name not ascertained, wtio was seen to enter the engine-room a minute or two before the explosion. Adjoining the west end of the brewery was a three-story brick dwelling house, ocoapled by John Whitney and wife, and at tbe time of the explosion there was also present a young lady named Hill, sister of Mrs. Whitney, and her brotber, about eight years of ago. The npper portion of the end of tho brewery camecrasiimg uown and completely demolished the dwelling. Tbe report of the explosion wag heard la all parts of the city, and In a very short time large and excited crowd had gathered around, and a many as eould commenced removing t he ruins in search or the supposed killed per sons. In less than fifteen minutes the inmates of tbe dwelling were returned; when It was found that Mrs. Whitney was uninjured. Mr. Whitney was slightly Injured, the young lady sustained bruises on one hand, and the boy was quite seriously injured. An alarm was sounded, which was responded to by several of tbe fire companies, but nothing could be done towards rescuing the two missing men, as there was danger of the roof and side walls toppling in at any moment. A portion of the side wall of the east wing was also thrown down, badly damaging the two-story frame bouse of Charles Fishers, but fortunately the Inmates escaped 'Injury. A large piece of the boiler was found at the corner of William and High streets, nearly lour blocks distant In a southerly direction. The damage to the brewery and fixtures was probably not leas than from $10,000 to (15,000. The dwelling-house was owned by Mr. John Hill, whose loss will amount to 82000. iV. Y, 2'imet.
