We judge tbat Seymour, like the Southern rebel, is satibfied with the one lie.icg we did give him. When tbe Democrats thought, im mediately after the elections, that they bad elected Clarkson N.

The 5S.C00 majority for Butler in this Stat has most effectually squelched a couple of Democratic as pirants for Yice President. Wallace and Randall were both setting op tbe pins for that office previous to the late election, but the job of drag ging tbem oat from under tbe ava lanche is too herculean to be under taken by their respective friends.

Tbe Republic ans bave made a clean sweep of all the Slate offices excepV State Engin eer, by majorities ranging from three thousand to eight thousand.

The Mayor welcom ed bim as one of the most renowned of American citizens, whose journey arouud tbe world had been watched with kelings cf gratification thit his passport,was simply that of an Amer ican citizen. He alluded to tbe serv ices cf General Grant during the late war, to bis geaerostty towards Gen. Lee, and to his elevation to tbe Pres idency. He said. "Sir, yoa have acrveil vour coun try nobly, and ihe country has hon ored you grandly. - Like the immor tal Wasmngroo,. y on rose from tbe lower walks of life.passed through all the military grades until vou com uiaaded it victorious armies.

He returned to private life, lives in tbe hearts of bis people and all time will call bim bis country's father. Yoo, too, sir, when your two terms were over, obeyed that pari of your country's unwritten traditions, hallowed by tbe immortal example of Washington ; and you, too, retired, and you, too, sir, live aod will live forever in your can-try-jnen'a beam ;v 'Sir, ia'the name of Chicago and its people, I prophesy that when time shall bave grown' old, when the page of history ba!l become dij), by the side of tbe great examplar who ' has gone before, your name and statute will be placed.

I will add further that oar country stands differ""'! abroad in tbe ectimatiobs U 1. i-aa and eastern nation from wo.it it did a quarter of a centory ago. An Amer ican citizen is regarded in a different light from tbe American cit'ien a quarter of a century ago. At tbat time it was believed we bad no na tion, but were merely a confederation of States, tied together by a rope of sand, wbicb would give way upon tbe sligbteet sir -in. They have found it was a grand mistake. They know we have now a nation ; that we are a nation of strong and intelligent peo ple, capible of judging and knowing our rights and determined on all oc casions to maintain tbem against either domestic or foreign foe ; and that is the reception you as a nation havo received through me while I was abroad." GRANT'S RECEPTION EY THE VETER ANS The reception given by the society of tbe Army of tbe Tennessee to General Grant took place this even ing at liaverly's Theatre. The aud itorium, the largest in tbe city, was beautifully decorated with flags, fes toons of flowers and wreaths. On either side of the stage was the in scription in evergreens, "Welcome of tbe bociety of tbe Army of tbe Tenn essee." Above tbe centre of the eiage in like manner, "Welcome Command er." There was also upon tke stage a representation of the battle ground back of Vicksburg, in charge of tbe "Boys in Blue," who guarded the approaches, doing regular sentry du ty. Tbe ground was strewn with munition of war, fascines, etc. There was also arranged on each side ot tbe stage aod facing the aud. ieace life-sized portraits of President Linculn and General Ihoma. Uigb above all on large banners were in scribed tbe names ot tbe battlefields wbicb the Army of the Tennessee are so well acquainted. Loesch s milita ry band supplied the music The dec orations were almost solely designed and executed by Mr. llaverly. The immense building was filled to its ut most capacity with an audience, wbicb upon the arrival of Gen. Grant and staff broke into hearty applause. Upon tbe stage were seated many of bis prominent officers, including Sherman and Sheridan. Gov. Cul- lorn, Mayor Harrison and other dig nitaries were present. Rev. Dr. Thomas opened the services with prayer. SPEECH BY SlttUlDAN AND OTHERS Governor Culloct said nearly fif teen years bad passed since the army bad completed tbe task for wLicb it was called into existence. Tbey had battled better than tbey knew for they had battled for a nationality, and the best safeguards of tbe rights of the State. He wel comed tbem and General Grant to the borders of Illinois. He paid a warm compliment to the soldiers, liv ing and dead, and especially mem lioned those of tbe army of tbe Ten nessee. Mayor Harrison welcomed the Array cf the Tennessee. General Sberman, in response to the address of welcome, said : "We are richly welcomed to-night by Mr. Washburne, Governor Cullom and Mayor Harrison, tbe last of whom dwelt strongly on the fact tbat Chi cago would, for a consideration, feed the world. And Chicago would build a railroad to tbe moon if the man in the moon would bold a ladder long enough for them to get there. In 17C5, in Raleigh, N. C, before tbe fluttering wings of peace were beard, even when the sound of can non and rifles was familiar to all, a few comrades passed, in the Senate chamber of that city, resolutions which all the people ought to read, to show what was in the hearts bl this army at that time Kindnes and charity pervaded every line and syl lable. The Society meets once a vear, not to celebrate its victories, not to glory in its achievements of arms, but to do acts of kindness, keep alive kindly feeling, and memo ries. We are a society, named after the Army of the Tennessee, prond of its records, glorying in its deeds aud social in our nature and we have resolved to come together annually, and have effected that purpose for thirteen years, and we bave resolved every word spoken or every deed done, whether of charity or reward. Tbey are recorded and can be seen oy the whole world, and they are very instructive. We are tonight assembled and prepared to make good the welcome of an old cemrade aod friend, aad our first commander, General Ulysses S. Grant. He has been like his namesake, all round tbe world and has come back at last to bis own land, and we welcome him back in a simple, soldierly strain, and ho who is to follow me, (refrriiiir to Judge Gresham) will probably en large upon the subject, and therefore 1 do not intend to dwell upon it. I say to bim, that be can look upon these men and recognize a friend in every one, a Utile older than when away, but tbe same old fellows. We propose to meet every year, either in the great city of Chicago, or some other city where we can get plenty to eat, and I am satisfied from what I have heard to day, there are a dcz en different places anxious to have us next year. Rerurning thanks to tbe kind patriots of to-day and even ing, I wilt allow the proceedings to go on in tbe order presented in tbe programme. ANOTHER 8PEECH BY GENERAL GRANT. When General Sberman announc ed tbe conclusion of tbe session, the audience set up shouts for Grant. This was persisted in until he arose in response. He suggested that it was better to follow tbe programme. But as be was down for a speech the audience laughed and renewed their demands for a speech. Thereupon Grant deliberately drew from bis pocket a manuscript, and as deliber ately read tbe following, which is tbe longest speech of bis life : "After an absence of several years (rom tbe gatherings of tbe Society of tbe Army of the Tennessee, it af fords me heartfelt pleasure to be again ' with yon, my earliest com rades in arms in the great conflict for nationality and a Unioi of all the States, under one free and always to be maintained government In my long; absence from the country, I hare bad a most favorable opportun ity for seeing and comparing in my own mind our institution with those of all European countries, and most of these of Asia comparing our re sources, developed and dormant, the capacity and energy of onr people for upholding the Government, and developing its resources, with most of tbe civilized people of the world. Everywhere from Englani to Japan, from Russia to Spain and Portugal, we are understood, aod our resources highly appreciated, and the skill and energy aod intelligence of tbe citi zsns recognix-id. My receptiocs have been your reception. They have been everywhere kind, en ac knoledmemt tbat tbe United States U a nation, en independent and free nation, c imposed ofstroo?, brave and intelligent people, capable of judging their rights and ready to maintain them at all hazards. This is a non-partisan acsoriaa n, but composed of men who are uuite-d in a determination that uo foe, do mestic or foreign, shall interfere be tween us and tbe maintenance of our grand and enlightened institutions, and the unity of all the States. Tbe area of our country, its fertiliiy, the energy and resources of our people, wilb the sparsity cf our population compared to the area, postpones the day for generations to come when onr descendants'will have considered tbe question of bow tbe soil is to sup port tbem, bow tbo most can be pro duced to support human life without reference to tbe taste or desire of tbe people, and when but few can exer cise tbe privilege of the plain luxu ry ot selecting the articles of food they will eat, tbe quantity and qual ity of clothing tbey wear; but it will remain tbe adundaut home of all who possess, energy and strength and make good use of tbem it we re main true to ourselves. Such a country is one to Le proud of. I am proud of it proud that 1 am au American citizen. Every citizen North, South, East and West enjoys a common heritage, and should feel an equal pride. I am glad tbe socie ty meetings keep up so long after tbe evjnts in which, in a sense, tbey commemorate, have passed away. Tbey do not serve to keep op section al feeling or bitterness toward our late toe, but they do keep up the feeling that we are a nation, aud tbat it must be preserved 'one and indi v iaab!e. We feel and maintain tbat thesa wbo fought aod sought bravely on tbe opposite side from us have equal claims with ourselves in all tbe blessings of our government and com mon country. We claim for tbem tbe right to travel all over this broad land aud select where tbey please the right to settle, because citizens, and eojov their political aod religious convictions, free from molestation or ostracism, either on account of them. or their connection with the pat. We ask nothing more for ourselves, and won!d rejoice to see tbem become powerful rivals in tbe development of our great resources, in tne acquisi tion of all tbat should be desirable in this life, and in patriotism and in tbe love of our country. Ap plause J There was a song and then Booth er surprue in the presentation ot an elegant silk banner to tbe society. It was presented in an eloquent speech by Gen. Logan, and accepted on be half of tbe Society by Gen. Sherman in a witty one. There being calls tor Sheridan, Pope, Oglesby, and Mark Twain, these gentlemen responded, the exercises lasting until a I ale bou om WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular OorrofpiO'leni.) Washington. Nov. 15, 1879. Tbe fair closed was a successful enterprise. The managers of tbe Na tional fair have made a balance sheet of their expenses and the result is not only gratifying to tbem but tbe stock holders as well ; clear pront over all expenses, $15,000. The citizens of Washington cooperated nobly with tbe National Fair association and by their encouragement and the elabo rate exhibits which tbey displayed contributed to tbe successful outcome, for the exposition was a success in every respect. To the fair we were indebted for tbe ten davs of iunocent enjoyment and beautiful relaxation from the pressing cares of routine life, which have made ns all young again, with a rejuvenating power more potent than those of tbe "fount ains of youth" that poor old Ponce de Leon couldn't have discovered bad be searched America through. But the mirth and entertainment whicb theas attractions have afforded us for the past weeks constitute but one ot its good effects. Another is tbe newly awakened interest in commercial cir cles consequent upou the discovery ot our resources and of tho fact proven by tbe handsome and elaborate dis plays of our merchants that Wash ington is not, as baa often been al leged, merely "an overgrown country village," but a mercantile emporium whicb requires but a little united effort to make it tbe entreport and "base of supplies" of the surrounding Slates. Tbe large number of strangers drawn to our city, tbe orders for goods received by our exhibitors, tbe large amount of money expended in our midst and the new feeling of mu nicipal pride in our city, its interests, products, merchants and its future prosperity are other of tbe beoeficial resultant effects wbicb the exhibition has produced. It is an established institution of Washington now, and while it has a management as zealous and wise as that now at its bead, we can evidently feel assured of its con tinued growth and prosperity. In a very few years it will have become actually National in its scope, propor tions, and exhibits, and like tbe Nov gorod in Russia, Washington's fair will, therefore, have continental repu tation. The Butter men have not got over their growl yet at Oyster & Co. get ting all the prizes at tbe fair for but ter, and while tbey were growling and fighting about whose butter was best, Harvey, from Baltimore, has slipped into Somerset county and bought up all the Glades. Just for amusement and the benefit of tbe many readers of tbe Herald, I went aronnd and tried to find out what was tbe matter with these dispensers of oleomargarine, and grease, and to ascertain the cause of butter jumping up so suddenly from 35 to 45 cents a pound and not a firkin or keg to be bought in tbe market. The universal answer was ; Harvey and these other fellows bave slipped in on ns and got all tbe daries, amongst whicb were many lots formerly shipped to tbe Washington market. Oyster felt sour over tbe condition of affairs and said the Glade butter didn't suit the Washington market anyhow. Tbey didn't know bow u make butter, &c. A member of Pearson's sons said one of their firm was going np to Somer set coqnty to. day to see what was the matter. They always received dairies from S. P. Miller," E. J. Fade ly, S. M. Maust. A. A Maust, D. M. Licbty, J. Y. Yoder, II. H. Miller, P. Krissinger, D. M. Livengood, Christ Yoder and many others he could name had be bis book with him, but so far they had only receiv ed one small lot, and butter was go ing jus( right np in figures. I then inquired what I shoold say to the farmers they would pay for butter now ? He said ' now is the time to ship batter, tbey can get better prices than later in tbe season. If farmers ' want cash they get cash. Ttey have b e pajiog lb w- 18 ceou a jx und fr Qiade according o quality but I n w tbey would go from 15 to 30 ' cents a pound, if the farmers would only ship. But tbe trouble is the farmer will promise a dairy to tbe VYar,hingtou butter man at say 20 cents aud tbee "other fellows" come arouud acd give 22 and get tbe but ter. 1 said why doo't you fellows get some other fellows to go around aod rai.-e on the "other fellows?" Thin puzzled ibe butter mo aid then j our eotivereatimi ended and be coiu j uienccd diipcnsiug pound (.rinls at 45 cents. I punbed around to another butter man who is known quite well iu tbe Glades, aud who says Le has spent there in one year as high as $20,000. This year he says the farmers have gone back on Liui and treated him badly. Don't put that down on paper as I pulled out my cote book; said be, I dou't want to get my name iu tbe Herald up tbere Why every farmer in tbe county will get mad at me acd the old women will never forget the expression from me after I have enjoyed for many years tbo f. aits of tbeir bard labor. Yes tm . you said so and dowa it goe.-. In sbort, I am beie as ihvi-v honest people's representative. 1 am on "Picket" duty at tbe Naiioal capi tal and while I weild a pen tbey are going to have the news. I will leave your name out for tbe pre-ent and pass on to the next. While 1 wm discussing tbe butler quenlion wi-.b the last person, the butter men ceot out messengers to tbe differeat stands and notified tne gang to kep mum as an agent iu the interest of the farmers was coming with a uoie bjok in bis band. Tbe next -til Inn against tbe big man with the white apron hardly knew there wm such a place as Somerset county, and thai tbey made butter there and tbat tbe farmers had been cheated so cfieo tbat they bave wisely concluded to sell their butter at borne to tbe man wbo gives tbem tbe moot u.oncy and tbat cash. Poor fellows they Lave had their day. From ibe market 1 passed on to tbe section of the c tv where most of the wholesale and commission houses are located. Here I found tbe same scarcity of butler prevailed. Mr. S M. Jones, Hi bandies all the creamery butter mu. at Meyersdale by S. 11. Hay ward, says butler is going to be high and there is not a siogle tub in tbe mar. ket f.r tale. Well, Mr. Jones, what can I tell the farmers they can get for their butter no w ? Kegs of good butter bring from 28 to 30 cents. And what commission do you charge? Five per cent, and returns as soon as sold. Do you return any kegs grea.-t? No. Jones ain't got up to tbe trick of the, trade yet. Tbe Thomas statue ceremonies un der tbe direction of the Army of tbe Cumberland, is all the ta:k no and will c iiitinue above everything tide for tbe next week. Seats about tbe monument to tbe number of 10,000 are being erected, and will be num bered as soon as done. As fir a-t tbe seats go, they will be given to ihe distinguished guests, ladies, and tboee too feeblo to stand. If the weather is favorable a grand time is expected. The nnveiling will be on tbe 19, and it baa been decided in case that the weather permits to make a trip to Mount Vernon on tbe 20, and to give a banquet on board ibe boat on the up trip. At eight o'clock ia ibe even ing tbe members of tbe Armv of the Cumberland, their wives and friends, will be received at the Executive mansion bv President and Mr? Hayes. At the conclusion of the re ception by the Preidint the members of the Arinv of tbe Cumberland will repair to tbe reunion tent, where tbey will hold a promenade concert for the guests and tbe people of Wash ington. Tbe music for this occasion will be furnished bv tbe baud from Fort McIIenry, West Point, Colum bus, Ohio, Annapolis. David's Island, aid tbe nag-bin and tbe Marine band Tbere is now a rivalry, so to f peak, between postmasters to determine wbo has been commissioned for tbe longest period. Tbe papers have hitherto given this honor to Edward Stabler of Sandy Springs, Montgom ery county, Md., a few miles from this city, who was commissioned Dec. 14,"l830. Now comes Roswell Beardsley, postmaster at Beardsley's corners, Tompkins county, New York, and reports tbat he has baen post master for over fifty one years, be ing commissioned on June 28, 182. A few days ago the signal service was violently attacked because at a port on tbe New England coast tbe warning flag was flying while the sky was bright and clear, with what on shore only seemed a brisk wind. Tbe reports are now in aod show at the very time tbe 6ignal was com plained of a steamer on its way to the port referred to, and near it, was being wrecked at sea, and after a narrow escape crept into a ueigbbor ing port disabled and in distress Tbe recent Nova Scotia hurricane was sweeping near tbe place. To keep vessels out of storms it is neces sary to show signals outside of the storms. The sun may be sbininz while a tornado rages within fifiy miles. The Signal says only "Ba careful." The committee of one hundred, who have the Grant receptijn iu charge, bave addressed a letter to the ex-President tendering him the hospitalities of tbe capital, and asks bim to uame a day when he will be here with us. No reply has vet been received. The Democratic papers here are preparing for the defeat of tbe whole or the greater part of th State ticket in ew lork by claiming in advance that the Republicans are guing to in augurate a system of counting ii the State. Tbe Republicans or any oth er political organization wbo can get ahead of the Democratic party ia New York in that way will bave to get np early in the morning and then work bard and very sly all day. The very men who canvass tbe vote are the men who run on the Democratic ticket for reelection, and tbey are nut going to count themselves out if they can help it. Not much. Their old gooee is cooked. Why don't tbe Democrats come forward like true men at oucs and confess that tbe par ty has been a failure since 18G0; treasonable in its war issues, nnsin cere in its demands for Governmental reform, laughable aod doublefaced on the currency question, trickster with tbe labor element and last, but not least, scorned by tbe people. A com bination of disloyalty, copperbeadism, the Ohio idee, strike-inciting dema gogues, soeerers at tbe results of tbe war, and incapable of conceiving what the Republican party has ac complished in times of peace, cannot only never he successful at tbe polls, and I doubt even if they have any respect or confidence at all in them selves.
