    LIEUTENANT GENERAL GRANT
HIS TO NEW YORK.
His Reception.
[From to-day's N: T. Tribune.]
Lieutenant General Grant arrived in the
''city yesterday, and took rooms at the Me
tropolitan Hotel. In theeveninghe dined
with about 100 members of the Union Club,
at their rooms, on the corner of. Twenty
first street and Fifth avenue. The dinner
. was strictly private, and was given by the
Club as a personal compliment to the Gen
eral. This evening a reception will take
place at the UniorkLeague club rooms, on
Seventieth street near Broadway, which
will probably be worthy both of the club
and the distinguished gentleman in whose
honor it is given. - .
This will not only be an appropriate cele
bration of the anniversary of the birth of
Washington, and a tribute to the hero of
Richmond, but it will also be made to serve
the purpose, of furnishing an opportunity to
thirty of our more prominent citizens to
present to Gen. Grant, Page's well-known
portrait of Gen. Scott, which they some time
since purchased with that intention. The
preparations for the reception are not yet
complete, but, the Club have already suc
ceeded in transforming the chaos of yester
day into the miniature paradise of to-day.
The garden formerly belonging to the Club
House has been made the site of the new re
ception hall. The room is about 70 feet in
length by 50 in width, with a ceiling 20 feet
high. It har been erected during the past
week, and yet it does not bear the appear
ance of any haste, either in design or exe
cution. The walls are covered with muslin
end ornamented with stars of gold. For a
gelling. the national colors of red, white and
blue have been folded lovingly together,
radiating froui the centre in all directions,
and also studded with stars. In the middle
of the floor there is a fountain with numerous
jets'of water that play about a delicate glass
representation of the Temple of Liberty.
The base of this temple is surrounded with
jets of gas,. which throw upon the water a
brilliant light and make the falling drops to
imitate a shower of diamonds.
The fountain is surrounded by an oval
shaped railing, covered with evergreens
and enclosing shrub, and flowers and
orange trees whose fragrant blossoms per
fume the air anB. suggest the palace unto
which, "could Love fulfil its prayer," the
Peasant would have led the haughty Des-
Chappelles. Over the fountain is sus
pended a basket of flowers. The
room is lighted by ,eight chan
deliers connected by a continuous
wreath of flowers, which makes a canopy
of peautifal colors and delicious odors. The
walls are decorated with mirrors, festoons
of Ithe national colors and bronze statuettes.
At the north end of the room a platfium
raised a few inches above the floor has been
provided for General Grant and the officers
of the Club, and over this hangs the por
trait of General Scott.
At the other end of the Reception Hall is
a staircase, leading to the drawing rooms
and furnishing at the top a balcony for one
of the bands of music, which will be pre
sent upon the occasion. Beneath this bal
cony a platform has been raised for the other
band. The floor will bs carpeted and will
IDe used after the presentation for dancing
purpose, if the guests feel disposed to de
vote themselves and the time to that amuse-
merit.
Guests will. enter from Union Square.
••• The apartments on each side of the hall
4 ,e 7 jarve been set apart for dressing-rooms.
•'' he staircase which has a double flight
from the first floor to the reception-room,. is
ornamented with flags and shields bearing
the names:of all the:great battles in which
our armies were engaged,from Shiloh down
to 'that which gave us Richmond. The
drawing-rooms, the library and ,reading
room and the cabinet have been decorated
, for the oecasion, while the third floor has
beenjorepared for the supper-rooms. Thus
it will be seen, that in every part .the ar
rangements have been complete, and that
guests, from the moment of entering, at
every step, will find something to gratify
both taste and sense.
Gen. Grant will be introduced to the com
pany at about 81 o'clock by one of the offi
cers of the Club. If he has changed his
habit in this respect, or if he has contracted
a new one—neither of which is at all likely,
by the way—he will probably make a
speech. A letter presenting him with the
portrait of Gen. Scott will then be handed
to him, and he will read his reply. The
supper rooms will then be thrown open,
and if any introductions be deemed neces
• nary or proper, they will then take place.
Those who desire to dance will have an
opportunity. The entire building will be
open to the guests, and the entertainment
relieved as much as possible of that frigid
formality which usually makes affairs of
this kind too unsocial to be at all agreeable.
Each member of the Club-800 in num
ber—has been presented with a ticket which
will admit only himself. There will, there
fore, be no sale of tickets save for the ad
mission of ladies, and these only to mem
bers. The more distinguished military and
naval officers of the city, including Admiral
Farragut, Gen. Hooker, and others have
been invited, and have returned replies of
acceptance. The "Lieutenant General, we
are informed, has expressed his determina
tion to spend the entire evening with the
Club, notwithstanding the numerous invi
tations hehas received to other places.
A crush under the circumstances cannot
take place; for if every ticket-holder—which
is improbable—should purchase a ladies'
ticket, the whole nuniber of guests will not
exceed 1,600, for which number there is
ample space. The reception promises to be
one of the most enjoyable of the season,and
besides this it will doubtless be one of the
most magnificent.
Gen. Grant paid a visit yesterday to Gur
ney's Gallery, No. 707 Broadway,and while
there the; General had five negatives taken
of him, from one of which Messrs. Gurney
at Son propose making a life-size portrait in
oil, as a Ppendant'! to the one taken last
Evacuation Day of Gen. Scott and painted
by Constant Mayer.
PAST YOUTHS.—Wm. Henry. Lynch
Frank Ribant and Francis H. Lane, youths
ofls and 16, were before Alderman Beitler
yesterday afternoon, charged with having
forged the name of John B. Montgomery to
five checks on the Western Bank, one for
$153, one for $l5O, one for $4O, one for $llO
and another for $136, making a total of $589.
:Detective Franklin was notified of the
forgeries and he succeeded in ,arresting
Lynch, who had collected the money on the
• last check. The defendant acknowledged to
have been implicated in the forgery, and
also informed Franklin of the' guilt of the
other named lads. It seems that Lane was
-employed in Mr. Samuel's office, on South
Fifth street, which communicates with Mr.
Montgomery's office. Only a small amount
of money has been recovered. The
juveniles bought watches, hired carriages,
Atm, and spent the money recklessly. Th e y
were committed to answer.
A POINTED QUESTION.—A country editor
. in Georgia thus • bitterly but logically re
- proaches the class of politicians and revo
lutionary, aspirants who systematically
•"fired the Southern heart :"
- "Oar Glorious Future."—We see it occa
sionally in the papers that Howell Cobb and
Joseph E. Brown " speak in glowing terms
of our "glorious future." Now, if we are
going to have such a "glorious future" with
the abolition of slavery, why did Cobb and
Brown plunge us into such a bloody war to
attain this abolition when we might have
bad it without any war at all?
CITY Brit l=nif•
FBANKiax• _lawn=Tn. The regular
monthly-'meeting of the Franklin Institute
was held as usual last evening. .After the
ordinary business, an' ingenious piece of
mechanism devised by Mr..T.Moore,for. the
purposepf illustrating various astronomi
cal phenomena, such as the change of
seasons, the moon's phases, eclipses, pre
cession of the equinoxes, &c.,was exhibited
and explained by that gentleman. The
report of the resident secretary, Professor
Morton, was then read, in which reference
was made among other interesting matters
to the fact that two hundred And fifty tons
of Bessemer steel had been cast in a
single block at the works of Messrs. Ireland
dt Son ; that F. H. Wenham, Esq.,eby a se
ries of microscopical examinations with the
use of polarized light, had thoroughly
studied the action of various hard bodies on
glass, explaining why tubes after being
cleaned interiorly were apt to break and
how that disaster was to be avoided. A
large set of Geissler tubes, imported by
Messrs. Queen & Co., were then exhibited.
These are glass tubes of various beautiful
and complicated forms, containing rarified
gases, as well as solid and liquid bodies of
different characters. When the discharge
from a powerful electric apparatus is
passed through them, they develop colored
lights in a most wonderful and beautiful
manner. Thus some of these contained
in large globes lily shaped flower cups
of luminous emerald, over which poured
a flood of purple fire. Others showed
serpents, scrolls, and twisted figures
of variegated light, while others
contained white powders,' which, after be
ing exposed for a moment to the'electric
flash, continued to glow for some minutes,
or, as it were, to reverberate red, yellow,
blue and green light. A little box imported
by the same firm, and costing but $lB, was
also exhibited, which contained a little set
of these tubes, a Ruhmkorff coil to operate
them, as well as a galvanic battery required
for the coil. •
The process for preparing Schultze's
white gunpowder was also given,this being
a sort of gun cotton from wood. In connec
tion with this were shown some little sheets
of paper, prepared in like manner,-which
ignited and thrown into the air, burn with
a brilliant colored light, without smoke or
ash, so that they may be used with safety
and convenience in any room. These were
pres ented by Messrs. Queen and Co.
Many other interesting subjects were dis
cussed, but our limits prohibit further de
scription.
These meetings of the Institute are al
ways full of interest and of valuable in
formation, and no one interested in science
should fail to attend them.
PRESS CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA.—This
organization held a stated meeting yester
day afternoon, at its rooms, No. 515 Chest
nut street, Vice President Chas. C. Wilson,
in the Chair. Mr. William H. Cunnington,
of the Inquirer, read an interesting essay.
He was an army correspondent, and ac
companied the Army of the Potomac in a
portion of its last campaign. In his essay
he detailed the trials and tribulations of
army correspondents, how they lived, and
the modes adopted for the early transmis
sion of the intelligence of battles and other
important events. The life of an army cor
respondent was varied. While the army
was in camp things went on smoothly.
Comfortable quarters and good meals could
be had at or near headquarters. When the
army was on the march, there were various
difficulties to encounter. The correspon
dents frequently passed a whole day with
out anything to eat, and at night were com
pelled to lie out on the ground among the
privates, begging a cup of coffee from one,
a piece of bacon from another, and a hard
cracker from a third, to partly appease their
hunger. Sometimes, by means of a great
deal of smooth tnik, lodgings would be ob
tained in some farm house, but the poor
correspondent would be informed, about the
time he was retiring, that it was probable
that the rebels would be in possession of
that section of the countty beforeqnorning.
When the army was cut loose from its base,
the correspondents had great difficulty in
getting their letters rough, and many
perilous journeys, in which the danger of
encountering guerillas was great, were
made. Mr. Cunnington related several in
cidents of his experience, and his essay was
highly interesting.
The usual discussion fqllowed the reading
of the essay. „,

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.—The com
mencement exercises of the Mt. Vernon
Grammar School took place yesterday after
noon at the school house, Catharine street,
above Third. A large number of parents of
pupils and friends of education were present.
The singing of the pupils, under the charge
of Mr. Bower, was beautiful. Several reci
tations by pupils, prepared by Miss Mur
doch, were received by the audience with
marked satisfaction. The awarding of
"Distinguished" and "Meritorious" certifi
cates to those who had been recently ad*
milted to the High Schools, and to those of
the schools who had been promoted from
subordinate divisions with very high aver
ages gratified every one present. The boys
presented to their teacher, Mr. Schock,
several pieces of silver-ware, which he
gracefully received, and in reply made a
neat speech. The girls presented to their
teacher, Mrs. McManus, a set of dinner
castors, which wasreceived in her behalf by
the former Principal of the boy's depart
ment, who called attention to the brilliant
results achieved by this lady, her class being
the largest admitted , at the recent High
School examination. The whole affair was
creditable to all concerned.
GENERAL SCHURZ: ON " THE !PROBLEM
OF THE. DAT."—The lecture to be delivered
at Concert Hall this evening, by General
Carl Schurz,will no doubt be one of marked
ability: Being a close observer, deep
thinker and a bold and independent advo
cate of human rights, irrespective of race or
color, he will doubtless present his views
in the most vivid light. Me Social, Civil
and Statistical Association could scarcely
have found a more able and earnest advo
cate in the cause of impartial liberty than
General Carl Schurz, and there is no room
to doubt that he will have a.full house. This
course of lectures thus far, in point otnum
hers and interest has been highly successful;
and it bids fair to continue so. The season
ttckets for the four remaining lectures in
the course have been put down to $1; single

AMUSEMENTS.
THE ARcH.—lt was a refreshing thing to
sit in the Alch last evenihg,tiotwithstanding
the vast crowd, and enjoyed- the five acts
which constitute "Sam." The play is'
worthy of Boncicault and is someVhat in
his style, there not being much originality,
but a great deal of tact displayed in its con
coction. The plot is ingenious and capitally
wor/ted out, while nearly every orte of the
dramatis persona has a good :charanter
part." Chanfran's Sam is as perfect a de
lineation of a certain class of people whom
one meets constantly "in society" as can be
imagined. ParslOe's Dick Jenkinsini might
have been imported from any circus, after
having gone' through a Turkish bath to
cleanse him from the grosser smack of the
saw-dust ring. Miss Logan, whose power
as an actress we have always doubted, dis
played spirit, piquancy and good taste in
her personation of the Honorable Miss
Laura Roslyn. The stock company was
ably represented, Messrs. Marlowe and
ackayhaving good parts and doing them
excellently, as did Mrs. Thayer. The
scenery was of course excellent and appro
priate, as it always is at Mrs. Drew's
charming theatre, and Mr. Dodworth's
music was much better than it has been on
certain occasions we could mention. "Sam"
will be the attraction at the Arch for some
time to come. To-morrow Mr. Cllßnfran
takes a benefit.
THE CHESTNITT.—"The Ice Witch" will
be played this afternoon and this evening.
It is drawing immense houses.
THE WALNllT.—Patriotism will be com
bined with fun at the Walnut to-night.
Clarke appears in "The Sentry of the
Night" and in "Babes in the Wood." There
will be a grand patriotic tableau and song,
and the entertainment will wind up with
"The Lonely Man of the Ocean." To-mor
row Clarke takes his benefit, when a new
comedy will be presented.
GROVER'S OPERATIC FAREWELL.—The
Friendly element which is so evenly dif
fused through Philadelphia society pre
vents, we are glad to say, any one of us
having a particularly "savage breast;" but
even if any of us had, the music which Mr.
Grover promises us would have sufficient
"charms to soothe" it. When it is remem
bered that all the new and old attractions
are to be compressed into a season of ten
nights, the old adage that the best goods
come in the smallest bundles will recur.
Mr. Grover has wrapped up an immense
number of operatic valuables in the small
space of a fortnight. The scene at Trump
ler's, Seventh and Chestnut, where the sale
of tickets is progregging, is extremely ani
mated.
MR. S. K. MURDOCH'S READINGS.—This
evening at Assembly Building Mr. S. K.
f urdochive% his patriotic readings, and
the Peak Family will also give a delightful
entertainment in the same connection. The
programme will be found in our advertising
columns.
SIGNOR BLITZ has day and evening per
amiances to-dsy.
THE AMERICAN THEATRE has a lively
holiday programme for this evening.
SAEFORD, the Ethiopian, is at home, and
e hear that a testimonial is now being got
u p for him to come off at one of onr theatres
shortly. We anticipate a splendid testimo
nial for this veteran minstrel manager.
A NEW EXPLORATION OF CENTRAL ASIA.
—The latest English journals announce
that Sir John Lawrence has sent three na
tive agents, disguised as merchants, to ex
plore Central Asia by different routes. Each
is independent of the others, and all are
kept in ignorance of their appointment, so
that on their return three independent nar
ratives may be looked for. They are in
structed to take note of all that they see, to
observe the temper of the different people
among whom they travel, whether move
ments are taking place in favor of Russia,
and to visit Bokhara, Khokand and Samar
cand before they return.

far The following signiticant brief quotations sum
most conclusively the claims of the coming season:
The Washington Chronicle: "And so closes what we
may justly chronicle as the most brilliant and satis
factory season which has yet taken place in Wash
ington." _ _ _
The Baltimore &May 2e/et/ram: "With the per
formance of last night closed the season, and - the
Director may well take pride in the result. Certainly
a season in many respects the most pleasing and satis
factory which we have enjoyed for years. Its only
defect was its brevity."
Tfie Philadelphia Mercury: 'We heard the Com
pany but just now in Baltimore, a...d they are certainly
singing much better than at any former season of
German Opera."
firr The Director has the gratification to announce
that the
;;SEASON SALE commenced on Monday morning in
a most auspicious and:flatter ng:manner. By far the
greatest number of Season Seate have been secured,
