The Legislatures of Kentucky and Tennes-
see left the city day before yesterday, in charge
of committee of the Ohio Legislature, which
had been appointed for the purpose of escort
ing them to Columbus. Throughout the en-
tire length of the road the trsin was greeted
in the most enthusiastic manner, and at Xenia
lunch had been prepared by order of the
State, to which the guests were invited bv
another delegation Of tho Legislature and a
committee of the City Coupcil Of Columbus.
Several military companies were drawn up
in line in front of the depot, and after the
party had partaken Of the collation., thew
were Welcomed in neat address by the Quar-
ter-Master General of the State, which was
responded to by the members of the Kentucky
and Tennessee Legislatures in speeches short
and eloquent, elieiting the heartiest applause.
A salute was fired at London when the train
passed, and it arrived OF Columbus amid a
snow storm, which, instead Of being an an
noyance, enlivened the company, and the
fakes dancing downward toward the earth
seemed glad that they were permitted to fall
upon our Southern guests, while they In turn
appeared to enjoy it with all the spirit of
youthfulness.
After procession had been formed, which
made quite an imposing appearance, the party
proceeded to the State-house, where they
were welcomed by Governor Dennison, both
Houses being in session and awaiting the
arrival Of their visitors. Responses to the
Governors welcome wero made by Governor
Magoffin, Of Kentucky, and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Newman, of Tennessee, which were
received with great enthusiasm.
In the evening banquets were prepared at
the hotels, aud at 10 o'clock the company re-
paired TO the 0deon Hall, where sentiments
were given and responses made which lasted
until after midnight, when the guests retired
in the highest spirits and delighted with the
manner in which they had been entertained.
THE DEPARTURE AND TRIr TO CINCINNATI.
At nine o'clock yesterday morning, the
Legislature of Kentucky and Tennessee, ac-
companied by the entire Ohio Legislature, the
Executive and State Officers, repaired to the
depot and took seats in the oars for Cincinnati,
in charge of tho Committee from this city, ap-
pointed for the purpose.
The greatest enthusiasm existed along the
route, until the guests arrived at Dayton,
where lunch had been prepared by order of
tho Committee from this city, and the Legisla-
tive guests were received with the highest
manifestations of pleasure and of welcome.
AT Middletown the train again stopped, and
the citizens of thatplace emuated their neigh
bors of Dayton in the attention paid to the
visitors to the State, and in the manner in
which the train was received and its departure
greeted. It was growing late when tho cars
with their distinguished passep gers left Mid.
dleton, and, although great preparations had
citizens Of this place, much to their chagrin,
wers compelled to content themselves with q
passing salute and the most enthusiastic
cheers.
THE ARRIVAL AT THE DEPOT.
About three o'clock the train arrived at the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad
Depot, where an immense crowd had been
gathered, and tho guests were received by the
Mayor of the city, together With the military,
amid shouts, cheers, the strains of inspiring
music and tho hoarse thunder Of dozen pieces
of artillery.
As soon as the train arrived, in accordance
with the arrangement of the committee, the
bells Of tho city from their iron tongues gave
forth peal of joyous welcome, which thrilled
to the heart of the metropolis and its inhab.
itants, and drew the citizens to the line of
march. 1t seemed that every demonstration
of Joy that ever manifested itself in outward
signe was made by the people. The children
clapped their tiny hands, the women waved
snowy handkerchief, and the men threw up
their hats and shouted. Music lent its
delicious effect to the affair, and drums, flies
and trumpets, mingled with the rolling base
Of tho cannon and the hum Of voices, made
the city appear the very home Of hospitality.

to the hills Of Kentucky, which sent them
