ft Commercial Mate Banpst
eyrnlnff the Grand Dining Room of the
Continental Hotel was well filled with tho
gnembers of the Commercial Exchange aod
their guest from the various cities la the
United States, off the occasion of a grand
banquet given by the former. Along the main
(Able were seated the visitors, In the centre of
whom sat President John U. Mlchener, flanked
on either side by Hon. Morton McMlchaol and
Chief Justice Thompson. After the viands had
been folly dlscusied, President liicheucr arose
and said j '
rn-ntlemen In contemplating the Intelligence,
wisdom and consummate ability of tho gentlemen
hv whom 1 have tho honor to be surrounded, and
Lvh whom it is my good fortuno at this time to be
derated? some of whom are proverbial for the
USE und elegance with which tlicy proslde upon
occMlonaMthei.reeent,I cannot but regret
IDS mhlnation of circumstances that have de
th? me a duty for which I am altogether
TlliScTbltfvIm which 1 dare not shrink,
because of myomelal connection with the assoeia
pecauseoi J Rre (tiie Commercial Kx-
nTAV"Wn" behalf I
wTtad to a llear'ty and most cordial wel-
V.Tast n Z W r-vW and spread be-
-ho have for the time being (that you might honor
.T. with vour presence) absented yourselves from
h ilallv routine of business requiring your closest
crutlny and attention, I would say especially that
In anticipating tho dedication of our new hall to
the commercial, manufacturing and aRricultural
interests ot this groat business centre, in our
ootnion the work would not have been complete or
well done until, in this social and hospitable man
ner in this city of brotherly love, the birthplace of
American Independence, we had extended the right
band of fellowship and hearty welcome to the
commercial representatives of the east and the
west, the north and the south, as one vast brother
hood, representing a community of interests upon
the national domain, and thus burying in oblivion
all recollection of schisms and strife, sectional
jealousies and animosities, in the "union of hearts,
the union of hands, and beneath the glorious folds
of the flan of our Union forever."
Gentlemen, we desire your presence with us, not
only to partake of the festivities of the occasion, but
that you may observe and learn something of the
enterprise, industry and thrift of our people, as
exhibited in their various industrial pursuits. Situ
ated as we are, upon the Atlantic seaboard, in a
State whose mineral resources are unbounded,
whose rich and fertile valleys are superabundant in
their production, whose iron and coal fields are
among the richest and most valuable that have
ever been discovered, with a network of railroads
diverging from our city as a common centre, not
only throughout its broad expanse, but in every di
rection opening the avenues of trade to the most
remote and distant parts of our land, we certainly
possess all the substantial elements of success, and
of commercial and manufacturing importance.
By published statistics, it appears that ia 1860
there was Imported and passed through the custom
house of the city of Now Vork, for Philadelphia
merchants, merchandise to the value of thirty
millions of dollars twenty-two millions of which
was loreign drv goods against fifteen millions im
ported directly "to our own city the same year. In
the Interim that has elapsed, like all others of our
Bister cities, we have been seriously disturbed and
"nsettled In our commercial and maritime relations
ifh 'he world by the receut unfortunate and dead
ly BtHfft within our borders: and while it is true
iwYha dark ."'ouds of war that so long hovered in
the renewed vigor and activity . .,...
and capitalists In that direction. With the various
lines of coastwise steamships already in active op
eration, arrangements have also recently been con
summated for a line ot steamers Detween mis pori
and Liverpool, and the establishing of another to
ports in Germany is likewise being seriously con
sidered. Thus, gentlemen, whilst we admire the energy and
enterprise of our sister city of the Empire State,
we intend to emulate her example in this particular
and ere long make our own city the port of entry
for her own supplies, carried in steamers plying to
and from her own shores; and whilst, amidst the
vast resources of our old Keystone State, the rude,
shapeless and molten material is wrought into
comely form at our factories, furnaces and forges
bythe educated and skilled artisans and mechanics
for which our city is so celebrated, and in point of
manufactures as a locality stands pre-eminent, our
product in that line being about two hundred mil
lions of dollars annually, ailbrding employment, as
I have recently seen it estimated, for about one
hundred and seventy-live or two hundred thousand
people; and as in the rapid strides of progress and
improvement we are borne forward on the tide of
success to wealth and prosperity we shall, with an
unbending effort and unyielding will, with all the
enterprise and energy of which as a people we can
boast, endeavor to place our city as a commercial
and manufacturing metropolis foremost among the
Cities of the world.
I have taken this opportunity, gentlemen, thus
briefly to allude to some ef the Important advan
tages we possess, not in a spirit of egotism, but that
you may become more familiar with our develop
ment and resources as a people, and of the glorious
old Commonwealth we represent, and upon whose
behalf I again bid you a heartfelt and hospitable
welcome.
The next toast was "The cities of Chicago and
Milwaukee." It was responded to by Mr. Randolph,
of Chicago.
This gentleman said he was present as a repre
sentative of the section usually denominated the
northwest the StateB tributary to Lakes Michigan
and Superior. After alluding tC V"? ent;rise of
that region, he spoke of Us need of ex'tende'd' conl
mumcation to the seaboard, The State of New
York has stood in th. way of thlgreflult and ue
icgreued to say here, in Philadelphia, the com
monwealth of l'euusvlvania has seemed to occupy
the same position.
Referring to the Pennsylvania Railroad, ho said
It Is now doing much to meet the wants of the
northwest. It now has connections with all parts
of the west. 'Within the last few days it has made
a new connection, and now has a road direct to Chi
cago. This road enables Philadelphia to compete
with New York for trade of ail sections of the great
west. When New York roads make a reduction
this road makes a corresponding reduction. But
Philadelphia needs increased facilities for handling
grain In bulk. It must have elevators. Merchants
and manufacturers must combine to secure this,
or let the railroad do it for them. Cannot Phila
delphia command enough of this trade to load ships
of her own to send abroad in exchange for foreign
goods? The merchants ot the northwest, though
they do not wish, in presence of gentlemen from
New York to say aught against her, yet desire Phil
adelphia to do this.
He referred in eloquent terms to the approaching
inauguration of General Grant, and augured in
creased prosperity as the result.
Chicago now toasted Pennsylvania in these
terms: Prominent alike for its inherent wealth,
both above and below the surface of the soil, may
uer sons maintain to the end the proud position
that they have ever held as energetic, persevering,
sagacious and patriotic representatives of our com
mon country.
To this ex-Mayor McMlchael responded, as fol
lows:
Mr. President: It is always gratifying to me to
nave my name associated with Mnnnavimniii. nrl
It is especially so in this presence, and amid these
surroundings. Assembled, as we have, to com
memorate an event which, though primarily
affecting the city, in Its consequence concerns the
welfare of the State; and, favored as we are, by
the attendance of representatives from various
quarters, who have come hither to ioln ns in irivinu
interest and dignity to the occasion, 1 esteem it a
privilege to he mentioned in connection with the
sentiment lust rironntH.d hv the olonuent ceiitleman
from Chicago, to whose graceful comments in reply
to your cordial welcome we have listened with so
mueh nlftA&iirA.
I fullv RnnrAotata and eratefully acknowledgo
the handsome terms in which you have referred to
me, and under dillerout circumstances i Mioaiu tie
glad to undertake what, you have been pleased to
. say I am competent to perform. If this were a
suitable opportunity, It would, I confess, afford me
very great satisfaction to discourse of our good old
tJommon wealth; to speak at large of her inerlu
and her virtues of the magulilcent domain,
Including whatever is grand or picturesque or
alluring, which is her heritage of the extent and
diversity of her territorial area of the profusion
and variety of her agricultural and mineral re
sources of her vast material developments of her
enormous and multiform industries of her inex
haustible capacity for rewarding thrift and enter
prise, no matter what Bhape they may take or
where they may lead; and above all of the sturdy,
solid and substantial character of her people. 11 ut,
Mi, President, lor reasons which. J need, no( recite,
this Is not a suitable opportunity for those of us
who are "native, and to the manor born," to In
dulge In lengthened or elaborate speeches. Our
desire is rather to hear from our distinguished
guests, and therefore I abstali).
There is one aspect, however, In which, even
while avoiding the general toplo, we may in this
company, so many of whom are from a distance,
appropriately regard Pennsylvania. I allude, sir,
to the relations which sho holds to her sister Btatos.
Bordered at onoe by the Atlantio and the lakes,
lvtnir side by side in close communion with the west
and the south, and separated from New York and
the east only by New Jersey, which in some re
spects is parcel of herself, she is not inaptly de
scribed as the Keystone of the arch on which tho
stupendous fabric of our republic rests. I am sure,
Mr. President, I shall not be mlsundorstood as in
tending to derogate from other commonwealths
when 1 say that throughout all ber history Pennsyl
vania has nobly vindicated her claim to thin proiU
title. It was on her soil the nation had Its birth it
was on her soil the Constitution was framed and
adopted that secured to the nation its prolongod ex
istence on her soil Its most famous battles have been
fought, and with her soil He mingled the dust and
the ashes of Its staunchest defenders. I do not
forget that these glorious incidents In her career
were the accidents of position; but tho earnest soli
citude which, in former days, sho always manifested
to prevent disturbance of tha public tranquillity,
to compose inter-State troubles, to soothe tho irri
tation of sectional Jealousies, while, at the same
timo, sho never ialtered in her devotion to the
Union, nor In her determination to maintain It at all
hazards, were the results of the highest principle
and tho deepest conviction, and prove that tho mis
sion ot conciliation and control which, along with
her central location Providence assigned to her,
was wisely, steadfastly and faithfully fulfilled.
In tho long series of years during which the dis
cordant elements of the north and tho south wore in
violent conflict, Pennsylvania constantly labored
to restore them to order and quiet. The first to
abolish slavery within her own limits, because she
fcbhorrcdtt as an evil thing, sho was among the
last to disregard tho compromises by which she had
hound herself to tolerate its existence elsewhere.
Cherishing a sincere affection for all the United
States and for each of its members, she strovo to
avert every cause of allonation and division.
Never unmindful of her own rights, she still treated
with patient forbearance the exaggerated demands
of others. Hence it happened, in reference to tho
late rebellion, that so long as there remained a
prospect of settlement she did what was possible
to promote it. But when friendly counsel was fol
lowed by defiance, and concession provoked re:
newed and aggravated aggression, she ranged her
self with the foremost of her loyal compeers; and,
with neither stint nor grudge, gave her best blood
and her dearest treasure to uphold in its integrity
the whole country, of which she forms so conspicu
ous a portion. And now that the war is happily
ended now that peace is restored she stands
ready to resume her ofllce of mediator, to inter
pose between the Conquerors and the conquered;
and, while-securing to the former the just compen
sations of a victory obtained by tremendous sacri
fices, to assist tho latter in every honest effort they
may make to repair the disasters of a crushing
defeat. 6
Animated, as she is, by a liberal and catholic
spirit; desirous, as sho is, that everywhere an en
lightened senso of national unity shall replace the
captious fret fulness of local self-assertion; hopeful,
as she is, that the benign Influences of trade and
commerce will speedily make the waste places glad,
and bring prosperity to all the land and to all the
inhabitants thereof, Pennsylvania naturally re
gards occasions like the present with fervent favor.
The beautiful edifice you this morning dedicated
as a mart for the products of all sections, will serve
to strengthen and enlarge the ties which bind those
sections together; the citizens whom you have ga
thered from their homes in tho west, and in the
east, in the south and in the north, to partake of
your hospitalities, will carry back to those homes,
and diffuse among their friends and their neighbors
and the communities to which thev belonir. the re
collections of brotherly greeting and kindly inter
course; and thus it will come to pass that this inau-
guration day of the Commercial Exchange will be
enceforth associated in their minds as well as in
our minds with that other inauguration day so soon
to iouow in, to wnicn mi parties are anxiously look
ing, some with doubt, some, it mav be. with mis
trust, but by far the larger majority with confidence
and faith that it will be the commencement of a
w era of patriotic harmony and domestic peace.
Tbe, President then announced as t,he next toast:
The City of Cincinnati. Reposing upon her
beautiful river, she occupies the centre of the re
public, as its heart sympathizes with all and deals
with all.
Major Gorhain responded. He said tho merchants
are destined not only to be the teachers but the
rulers of the land. No other interest is so import
ant to the material welfare of the country. Ho
came of a very modest town. They of Cincinnati
claim not to live in the northwest, but in a better
place in the centre of the nation. Seven or eight
years since Cincinnati was on the borders; but the
borders have been removed. They realize that
they are in the centre. Their city is the hub. New
York and Philadelphia and Boston will overtop
themselves if they don't look out, and Cincinnati
must put forth her power to balance them. The
agricultural and mercantile interests underlie the
prosperity of the nation. They should be fostered
above all the rest. The north should exert her in
fluence to build up the south, which may then soon
equal herself in prosperity and wealth. The young
and vigorous are needed to do the work, and such
are doing it. The speaker said he was the oldest of
their delegation, and he was not yet married.
vLaughter.)
Tho next toast was "The Judiciary," to which
Chief Justice Thompson of the Supreme Court
responded.
After most gracefully complimenting the speak
ers who preceded him, Judge Thompson made some
happy humorous allusions to the reported origin of
the custom of giving toasts. He afterward spoke
eloquently of the judiciary, and of the part which
it plays in the body politic. Tho judiciary, he
said, is always a minister of peace. Its deeds might
be compared to the dew which falls unseen, yet
tails in refreshing showers. The judiciary should
always be thought of in connection with the idea of
protection. It is the security of good men and tho
terror of bad. Like time, it "cuts down all. both
out it these would be valueless
In concluding, the Chief Justice modestly re
quested of the reporters that they should speak
generally only of his speech, and give not a single
word which he had said.
The President announced as the next toast, "The
City of Detroit her grand and spacious streets,
the fitting highways for the march of her progres
sive and adventurous people."
This was responded to briefly by Mr. Standish, of
Detroit, most of whose remarks were inaudible to
our reporter, owing to the remote position of the
speaker. After returning thanks for the honor or
being called upon, he spoke of the commercial in
terests of tho different sections, and said that mu
tual wants, if nothing else, should bind together
the merchants of the west and east.
To the following toast: "The City of New York-
She sits a queen upon the waters, and thaws all
men unto her,' " Mr. Bogart responded.
In the absence of the chairman, Mr. Bogart said
ho was called upon to perform a task which was en
tirely out of his line of business. He therefore
begged to be excused from making a speecn.
The President then said that not having any
speech from New York he would call upon a gon
tleman from Newark, N. J., Mr. Jarvls.
The latter expressed his pleasure and pride at
being called upon to speak as the representative of
Newark, the third manufacturing city of the Union,
a city of 130,000 inhabitants, wealthy and pros
perous, and in political sagacity unequalled by any
other city in the country. lie then spoke ironi
cally of the Importance and achievements of New
Jersey, claiming it us the mother of both New
York city and Philadelphia. J lis remarks through
out spurkled with strokes of wit and humor, which
elicited much merriment.
Mr. McKeon, of tho Ledger, was then requested
to speak on behalf of the Press.
Ho said the Chief Justice had spoken of being
taken by surprise, but ho (the speaker) was in fact
taken entirely by surprise in being thus called upon.
The J udge was formerly a Democrat, and succeeded
ouce in getting elected to Congress from the Krlo
district by making just Buch speeches as ha had
maue ueiore mem. jie was tue only Democrat who
was ever elected from that district.
On the part of the Press, he expressed thanks for
the sentiment. But the Kentleman on his right
(Mr. McMicuael) ought to have spoken to this toast.
He was the person who should always respond on
behalf of the press of Philadelphia.
Mr. McKeon said he was a Phlladelphian, and
had always been Identified with her; tuat next he
was a Pennsylvanian, through and through, and
that after that he was an American. But he never
could go to New York or Boston without feeling
how immeasurably in some particulars those cities
surpassed his own. Speaking of Boston, he called
it the "Hub," and said he was opposed to the idea
of Cincinnati setting up as a "hub." He has occa
sion to use dally two tons of imported goods, and
always takes care that every pound of it comes to
Philadelphia wharves, lie can't find Btotw-ahips
great and small." So like the rain, its Influences

be can wait for the slow, lumbering sailing vessels.
Thin was the spirit which was needed here. He
closed with a fitting euloglum upon the work of the
Commercial Exchange.
Buffalo was then oallod upon, and a gontleraan
whoso name was not announced briefly returned
thanks for the honor, and declined to make a
speech.
LITERATURE.
BEVIEW OF NfciW HOOKS.
From Claxton, Remeen & llaffelfioger we
bare received "Mabel Clifton," a novel, by
Frank Brietwood. This work we should take
to be the first effort at sustained notion by a
young author. The plot is interesting and
well-eonBtmcted, the oharaoters are sketohed
with considerable skill, and throughout the
story there are fine imaginative passages, a
little too exuberant perhaps, but which indi
cate talents of no mean order. Despite many
crudities, "Mabel Clifton" is a story that will
attraot attention, and it promises well for what
the author will do in the future when his
hand becomes prcotised and his powers
matured.
Messrs. Turner Brothers & Co., No. 808
Chesnnt street, send ns "Only Temper," by
Mrs. C. J. Newby, the third issue of Turners'
library of select novels. This is a pleasing
novel of English domestic life, puro in tone
and entertaining in style. The series of
novels now in oourse of publication by Messrs.
Turner Brothers & Co. are selected with oare
and good taste, and are likely to le exten
sively popular.
Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brothers send
us "The Count of Monte Cristo," Alexandre
Dumas' most famcuB and most exoiting
romance. Two volumes in one, or 557 pages,
are offered for fl-50. "The Tower of London,"
by William Harrison Ainsworth, also pub
lished by Messrs. Feterson, is an historical
romance, in whioh the different parts of the
Tower are described with extreme minute
ness. The story, whioh is written in Ains
worth's usual melodramatic and effective
s' vie, covers the period Irom the death of
Edward the Sixth to the execution of Lady
Jane Grey. We believe that the aoouraoy of
Ainsworth's descriptions of the Tower have
never been called into question. A full index
to the work is given, and it is illustrated by
a number of engravings from the admirable
etchings of George Cruikshank, and by views
of the exterior and Interior of the Tower.
Price, $1-50.
From the same house we have received
"The Life of John Bright, M. P.," by John
McGiloriat. Published by Felt & Dillingham,
New York. This is a brief biography of the
great English radical, in whioh the leading
events in his career are presented in a oonoise
and popular form.

street, send ns "Memory's Tribute to the
Life, Character and Work of the Rev. Thomas
II. Stockton," by Alexander Clark, pastor ot
the First Methodist Protestant Churoh of Pitts
burg. Published by S. R. Wells, New York.
The eighth part of "Zell's Popular Ency
clopedia and Universal Dictionary" conoludes
with the title "Allan." This work is one of
the moBt important and valuable ever under
taken in this country, and the manner in
whioh it is issued and the low prioe ten cents
a number places it within the reach of every
one. Published by T. Ellwood Zell, Nos. 17
and 19 South Sixth street.
Our School-dag Visitor for March, pub
lished by Messrs. Daughaday & Beoher, No.
424 Walnut street, is, as usual, full of enter
