GENERAL SHERIDAN.
Hl Ileceptlo Im New York, last Kri
nlaa; a. 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.

With those who stood for tbe country, aud not with
those who cared only to save their party;
avud General Grant baa established a new claim to the
gratitude of the nation when he "urged, earncttly
vrisra u the name ot a patriotic people, who have
aacrinoed hundred of thousands of loyal llvei, and
kuudsabds of ml lions of treasure to preserve the In
tegrity and Union ol tbe country, that General fcberi
ctan should not be removed, from bis command."
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

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

General Grant says and who knows better than
General Grant? (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

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.

A WMBfcgtoa despatch, to the Stoa 4drr.
ti'tr ttiy'. The Fecretary of the Congressional
Executive Committee ba late information fro.n
all pattsof the South. 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.

friendly terms with the United States Govern
ment. They had Just returned lrom a success

meet witn any Indians unfriendly to the Gov
ernment. While some complaints are made on
account of while settlers being on their reser
vations, they deny that they ever were or ever

whites, and say in conclusion thut they know
their welfare depends upon the protection re

A FATAL FALL.
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,
