• THE PRESIDENTIAL OV/yrION.
General GRANT has enjoyed the largest. '
facilities for acquiring a correct icnc'4-
edge of this "State of Allegliony.”
When, at a late hour last night, he was
released from hospitalities to repose, we
may be quite sure that the President re
tired, thoroughly disposed to assent to the
largely generous estimate which one of
his most illustrious predecessors Inbfftoe
has historically placed upon the people of
these cities and county. _
We . may speak of yesterday's ovation
to the President with unaffected pride.
We have, ail of us, good reason to felicitate
phrselves upon as well the just respect
we have, enter tained . for the high o ffi ce
and for the:lndividual incumbent, as
noon the spontaneous end universal ex
pression in -which thstsentiment yester
day
claystalixed itself,
Arrangements, of nature perhaps as
-satisfactory -as the Smited time at the
command of the local committees would
allow, were somewhat imperfectly carried
'oat. But tke heety hospitality of the
people more - than -supplied all the short-
Tongs in this regard. The visit
of President GENT to these cities
'has been - made the -occasion for
'a purely popular ovation, a • fresh,
'vigorous, rand unrestricted e xplosion of
• the public enthusiasm for the hero of an
extinguished rebellion, the choice of the
nation for its lordest civil trust. frieffect,
'the people, going outside the formal -out-
Ines of 'municipal courtesy, and the
meagrearrangements of committees, took
matters much into their own hands yes
terday,ond sary for themselves, and wel
corned os they should, a deserving , Chief
lidagie& - ote.
ThetPresichnt's reception was as Arad
fyinntto him, as it was an eloquent ex
pression. of the popular regard. He leaves
us tokiay with even a more flattering es
timate of oar loyal spirit, of the enter
prise-144 *eslth otir communities, of
the magnitude of -our material interests,
of the. justice with which, in this seat of
, ttianafatituring industry, confidence is
reposed in our clear title to the
:National consideration. ProsidentGruicr
conducted yesterday the personal investi
gations which convinced him that Alle
gheny county, giving to him eleven
thousand majority, knew exactly what it
was • for. He leaves our midst with a
higher respect; even than before; mutual
ly sharedetween President and people.
We understand that the President and
his family are going to Washington

there, and then proceed by way cf

SPAIN.
iONDON, September 14.—The Madrid
correspondibit of the Times writes a's
follows: Hitherto the Spanish Govern
ment and press have unwisely adopted
the plan of concealing unfavorable Cuban
news; but the Epooa has now broken
silence, and startled the Spaniards 'by
making a statement of the actual
facts, and by • vehemently urging
the dispatch of, troops and the union
of men of all parties so the Gov
ernment may be left free to save
Cuba. The news of Gen. Sickles' pro
posal to recognize the Cuban insurgents
as beligerenta has caused as much ex
citement as if be had threatened to take
the part of the liiibams. It had the effect
to make the Maids fall to the lowest point
they had touched forsixteen years. The
dispatch of Gen. Sicikles has not yet been
published. Whatever its moral effect
may be, the remonstrance of the United
States hes unquestionably terrified the
Spaniards amazingly.
The Time in an editorial on the Cu.
bancuestion says if American negotia
tions for the accession of Cuba have
Tailed, it must be because the sum dm
dered was deemed insufficient or the
Washington Government dreads the
opposition of those who feel confident
that Cuba must fall into the hands of the
United Sates, and deem it folly to incur
the liability. The Spanish Govern
ment has been admonished to
Put an • end Ito insurrection or give
up the island °m any terms. If those cir
cumstances have prompted the Madrid
Government to play its last card for the
.ntilles and stake all on it, it cannot be
-congratulated on its resolution. The
subjugation of Cuba cannot be achieved
by soldiers, nor will it result from a se
ries of victories. Troops may hold the
seaports but the inland regions will
be against them. Armed col
umns may traverse the island
but can nowhere establish a permanent
footing. With the exception of a few
traders, -Spain • has no friends in the
island. Prim and Serrano have often
told the Cortes that the loss of Cuba is
'merely a question of time. For four
months they have been devising the
most advantageous terms. It is to
be hoped that 'wisdom and consistency
will enable them to see that It is good to
be rid of the Islam" 'on any terms, and
cause them to consider before wasting
men, and money, which they cannot
spare, in the furtherance of an enterprise
which will, never yield a hundredth part
of what it has already irrepairably cost.
FRANCE.
PARIS, September 13.—A rumor which
is being extensively circulated in the
city to.osy,-is to the effect that the Em-
peror Ntioleon seriously contemplated
the abdication of the throne of Prance,
in favor of his son, - the Prince Imperial.
It is said that a Council of the Regency
will be created, hiving the Empress and
Prince Napoleon Bonaparte at Its head,
as is provided in the new. .constitution,
to endure through his minority.
Napoleon's health remains in a very
uncertain condition.
Penis, September 14.—The Emperor
gave audience to Gen. Prim yesterday.
Letters from Madrid assert that a fleet
of ironclads will be sent to Cuba in No
vember in case the United States recog
nize the insurgents.
The Spanish Govern'tent stops all tele
grams'which it does not approve, especi
ally those concerning Cuba. • •
The Berealova Diaris hopes that, not
withstanding the action of the United
States, Spain will know how to maintain
her flag and dignity.
The Parisians are pursuaded that the
Emperer is recovering, although a
marked alteration in his appearance is
observed. 'There is great anxiety in re
gard to the? regency. By law the Em
pres is regent during minority - of her
son. It is generally believed the 'Vaporer
desires to promote good-understanding
between the Empress and Prince Napo
leon. The idea of intrnsting a share of
the regency to the Prince is, discoun 4
tenanted by some,' whilti - liihW are cur-,
rent thlitthd Prince'sltbsened on board
his yacht is connected with the phyla of
others in his behalf, if not directly with
his own.
The Journal Des Sofia, referring to the
recent meeting of Americans in London,
held for the purpose of congratulating
Prince Napoleon on his Liberal speech
in the Senate, says s little more and it
would be considered there was some
danger in speaking. This congratula
tion was an eulogy carried too
far. The speech of Prince Napoleon
showed good sense, shrewdness, elo
quence and moderation, but no peril.
To have made such a speech ten years
ago would have been an act of courage,
but there is no boldness now In telling
the'Senate whs everybody, but the Sen
ate thinks. • •

es Against
Esse, Sept. 14.—At an annexation
Meeting heid in Quebec, Sunday after
noon, the following resolutions were
adopted:
First—For many years past we have
seen, with deep regret, our real estate
sink rapidly, our ship building interest
disappear perhaps forever, our magnifi
cant water power, the greatest in the ag
gregate of any ngle locality on this
Corticent; rush wildly past our doors and
our yputh, the flower of our population,
flying to the United States in countless
thousand - el from the desolation which
seems to have marked our city as its own.
.• Neeond—Difference a existing between
the depressed condition of this Domin
ion and the ever-increasing prosperity
of our neighboring Republic has impell
ed us' to the conclusion that the differ
ence bus its rise not in imaginary bound
ary lines, but in the working of the
instutiOns of the two countries.
Third—lt is therefore the deliberate
opinion of this Meeting that steps should
be taken at once toward addressing the
Imperial authority through his Excellen
cy, the Governor General, a respectful
patititon praying to be informed whether
a neirly unanimous desire on the part of
thainhabitants of the dominion for its
incorporation with the territory of the .
United States would not receive from
the British people the same gracious re
ception as was accorded not many years
ago to a' lute requeat from the inhabi
tants of the lonian Island for a union
with the kingdom of Grime.
. Messrs. O'Farrel and Wm. McAvoy
spoke at length oh the subject, and the
meeting, after naming a Committee to
carry opt the resolutions, broke up with
three Alleers for annexation and three
more for Mrs. Odouavan, to whose ap
proach Mr. OTaxrel called attention.
The crowd was very orderly in its eon
duck, and except from a few no marks of
disapprobation were evinced. The police
did not interfere.

THOU BRINGEST HE LIFE-
LUNG-WORT.
One of the truest and Most suggestive' ideas
can be obtained front the caption at the head
of this art die; for . of an diseases which impair
human health and sb often human life, none are
more prevalent than • those which affect the long*
and pulmonary tissues. Whether we regard ltmg
diseases in the light of a merely slight cough,
which Is but the foie- ruunkr or a more cerlous
,
malady. or as a deep lesion corroding and dis
solving the pulmonary structure, it is always
pregnant with evil l and foreboding of disaster.
In no class of maladies should the physician or
the friends and family of the patient be more
seriously forewarned than In those of the lur gs,
for it is in them that early and effielent treat
meat is most desirable, and it is then that danger
can be warded off and a cure effected. In DR.
KEYSER'S LUNG CURE yon have a medicine
of the greatest value in all these conditions. Au'
alterative, a tonic. a nutrient and resolvent,
succoring nature and sustaining the recupers•
live powers of the system, Its beautiful work
ings,, in harmony with the regular function i s, can
be readily observed by the use of one or two tat
tles: it will soon break no the chain of morbid.
syMpathies that disturb the harmonionsWork
nig/ of the animal economy. The harrassint
cough, the , painful respiration, ihe sputum
streaked with blood, will soon give niece to the
normal and proper workings of health and Vigor.
An aggregated experienCe of over thirty pears
has enabled Dr. Keyser, in the compounding of
his LUSO CUBE, to give new hone to the con
sumptive invalid and at. the 'same time speedy
relief In those now prevalent, catarrhal and .
throat affections, so distressing in their effects
and so almost certainly fatal In their tendencies,
unless cured by some appropriate remedy. DR.
IiKT SEE'S LUNG CUBE is io thorough and ef- ,
ticlent, that any one who has ever used it, *in
never be without it in the house. It will often
cure when everything else fails, and in simple
cases will care oftentimes in a few days.
The attention of patients, al well as medical
men. Is respectfully' invited to this new and
valuable addition to the pharmacy of the coun
try.
DR. BEYelElt may be consulted every' day
untli 1 o'clock P. 2.f. at his Great Medicine itore,
