hearty and cordial welcome. hNNs
r1Iadies and Gentlemen--I have the honor

oE1.' GENERAL GRANTS RESPONSE. 'lr~T-
General Grant, In reply, turned and
spoke, in an ordinary conversational tone,
to the Mayor, expressing his qualification
at being so warmly received; said the
crowd could not hear him satisfactorily, If
he attempted to speak, and as he was no
speech-maker, he did not propose to make
any effort that way. He was pleased to see
so many people present, and fully appreci-
ated the compliment paid him.
THE LEvEE IN THE RoTUNDA. ag.
After General Grant had concluded his
brief response to the Mayors address he
was saluted with tremendous cheering from
the grand assemblage Of his fellow citizens
before and around him. He was then con-
Quoted to the north side of the rotunda in
the Capitol, and standing near the stairs on
that side, the people passed by him in
rapid succession, most of them taking him
cordially by the hand, and passed out at the
north front. Having received the saluta-
tions of the Older citizens, the children and
youth from our Public Schools next paid
their respects to the distinguished visitor.
This presentation # the school-children
was source of great qualification to the
General. .,., ...,.,
H',vIsIT TO THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.
The levee in the Rotunda being ended,
General Grant, accompanied by Mayor
Bull, members OF the City Council and
others, paid visit to the State Benevolent
Institutions. The call at each was of course
very brief, but the ride enabled the General
to toke birdt-eye view of the Asylum
buildings, as well as Of the principal streets
Of our beautiful and growing city.
,,fl- THE DINNER AT THE NEIL. ~
The complimentary dinner to General
Grant and Staff rendered by the citizens of
Columbus, took place in the large dining
room of the Neil House between four and
six o'clock in the afternoon. About two
hundred guests sat down at two long and
splendidly furnished tables, making a re-
past so bountiful and varied that the pro-
prietor of the Neil, Mr. Failing, but added,
in preparing it, to his already widespread
reputation for generous and luxurious ta-
bles. But the bill of fare, which we annex,
will speak the best eulogy on the dinner:

se THE SPEECHES AND ToAsTs.
h The guests at the dinner tables havin
e partaken freely of the rich viands sprea
l. before them, Governor Anderson rose, ant
in in few brief, eloquent and touching re
le marks, alluded to the distinguished Genera
e. sitting beside him, native of Ohio, c
er whom every citizen of our State might we
le be proud. At the conclusion of his speech
he called upon the General to speak, thong
l. he was less noted for his exploits in orato
