BALTIMORE, July Is.
Well, President Pierce has come and gone,
and other favored regions are now enjoying the
light of his official countenance. The military
have paraded, the drums have been we'll beaten,
the trumrets brayed, flags waved, and amid
general turnout his Excellency made his entry
into our city, riding on horseback, la Jack
son, SO as to give the sovereign people the best
opportunity of seeing his distinguished Inca
ments and person The reception was quite a
handsome and attractive affair, but there was
a very observable want Of enthusiasm exhibited
towards the President l walked within ten
PAGES of him the whole route from the depot to
the hotel, and not one good, hearty, enthusiast
tic cheer, such as the democrats used to give to
General Jackson or the wings to Henry Clay,
| greeted him the entire distance. AT the hotel
during his speech from the platform, some little
| enthusiasm was evinced, but none of general
and cordial character think it may now be
set down as fixed fact that President Pierce is
up for a second term. All the circumstances
and belongings of this Northern tour Prove it
conclusivey to my mind. The notoriety that
was given to his intention to visit New York at
the invitation of the Worlds Fair Commission
ers, the semi official announcement made pre-
vious to his departure from Washington that he
would not object to public receptions in the
cities, the very unusual and undigniied spec
tacle of a President delivering speeches to mass
audiences from platforms prepared Gas was the
case in this city, with foreknowledge of his
intention of making speech, and that speech
previously prepared and handed Immediately at
its close to the reporters of the press, as was
also the case here--all these things, think, in
dictate that the President is on a popularity
hunting tour.
Another change in the newspapers of our city
is announced-Col Munroe the veteran con-
ductor Of the Patriot, having sold out his inter
est to John I. McJilton, Esq, who now becomes
the sole proprietor of that paper, The sale,
rumor has it, will be followed by another, in
which Mr. McJilton will either dispose of his
whole interest, or take in a partner. The pa
per, though next to the American the oldest in
the city, has not of late years it is believed,
made much for its proprietors, and will need
much OF ADDED energy TO raise IL up to the
status Of modern newspaperdom. Mr.. Brantz
Mayer, after a very brief experience also re-
tires from the editorial chair of the American
Mr.. Mayer is an able and dignifed writer, and
with few years of newspaper life to give prac-
teal experience to his pen would have made an
editor of note
The death OF Judge Glenn is regretted by all
classes, and even his political opponents (for he
was one of the strongest wings that ever drew
breath-always ready to spend time, talents
and money for the good Of the party are ready
to join in the general bewailment Our reli-
gious and benevolent associations, to which he
was a ready and frequent contributor, will
greatly miss his full purse and willing hand.
Mr.. Hollins the Mayor of our city, is encoun-
tering storm of reprobation and obloquy on
account of his veto of the bill for the reorgan-
ization of the police, The bill was favorite
measure with the people, who looked to it for
the rescue Of the city from the scenes of disor-
der, riot and tumult which have so greatly dis
graced it within the last year But it would
have thrown out of Office many of the pets and
fayorites of the Mayor, and this consideration
had more weight with him than the good of the
city, or the requirements of public order Ills
veto message reads like an auctoneers adver-
tisement, and states his objections to the bill as
too numerous and serious to particularize.
The receipts of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road for the past month have reached 1920, 60

pated at this season Of the year. Consequently
the stock has advanced figure or two but still
