as good as that Of any other house in the

tance from Meeting and Bay streets, which
are the most busy streets Of the city.

restaurant or anywhere else that he pleaseS,
or bring it with him from home. ...

ton to render their stay as comfortable and
as pleasant as if they were at home

.fOhio} paper of the 4th instant, says:
Yesterday young man from abroad came
to the city to have talk with his lady loVe;
The young lady was very much excited and
declared that if the young man ever married
her it must be at once. This alarming decla-
ration caused the young man to act at once.
and he proceeded to the Probate Court to
procure the required license. Here, the as
founding intelligence awaited him, that some.
other man had received license to marry the
same lady named in his own application.
This complicated affairs very much, but the
young man determined to forestaA his rival:

lady in question. Number one had been
equally energetic, working, however, on
different policy. Number two took the JUS
tice to the young lady. Number one re-
versed matters and took the young lady to a
Justice, and when the aforesaid young man
the second arrived upon the scene, number
one and young lady were man and wife. A

SOME PLAIN TALK FROM GEN. GRANT.

SOME PLAIN TALK FROM GEN. GRANT
General Grant visited Woods Theatre, Gin
cinnati, where he was enthusiastically re-
ceived. During the performance crowd,
amongst whom there were many soldiers,
paraded before the theatre, and Mr.. Egges~
ton, Radical member of Congress requested
the Manager to go and inform General Grant
that the crowd wished to see him General
Grant replied Il cannot and will not see
them. Please tell the commander of the
soldiers to come and see me-" Baker, the
commander, with some others, marched into
the theatre to the private box. ..-.
General Grant, without giving Baker, time
to make his wishes known, approached him
and said 'Sir, am not a politician. The
President is my commander-n-chief. con-
slider this demonstration in opposition to the
President of the United States Andrew
Johnson. You will take your men away: l
am greatly amazed at this demonstration.
I will be glad TO see you tomorrow when
the President arrives,
The crowd finally dispersed, cheering
Grant as the ''next President Of the United
States"

The LAURENs RAIL RoAD.-We are

The House Of Representatives passed a
bill authorizing the Treasurer of the State to
redeem the State issue by exchanging for
all such bills an equal amount Of Treasury
notes Of the United States, or the notes of
any National Bank, and further authorizing
him to use for. the purpose any funds in the
Treasury not otherwise unappropriated. The
Senate will doubtless follow the example of
the House, and thus give stability and cons

outrages on the President.

. INDIANAPOLIS, September e.--The follow
ing disgraceful scenes occurred here:
The President was received with few
groans, ''huzzas for johnson" and cries for
Gen Grant, and some rude remarks. He
,compenced by saying: FelloW-citizens
[cries for Grant, it is notmy intention tcrieS
of "Stop" and 8'Go on,"1 to make long
speech. If you give me your attention for
five minutes. [Cries Of "Go on" "Stop,"
ssNo. no-we want nothing to do with
traitors" ''Grant, Grant," johnson" and
groans. should like to say to this crowd
tonight IcrieS of FShut up-we don't want
TO hear from you" 'sJohnson," Grant"
johnson" "Grant," "Grant."l
The President paused few moments, and
then returned to the balcony. .,
Hon. David Kilgore went to the portlco,
to try his powers of persuasion, and keep
order. He said: For one moment hear
Tcries for order and groans. Let me appeal
Indiana-(the confusion still continued.) Let
me appeal to you again-(but the crowd was
unreleuting, and would not be quiet.)
The gentlemen then retired from the portico,
and the excurSionistS went to their dinner.
The disturberS in the crowd continued to
groan and make other disturbing noises.
Several disturbances occurred with lament>
able results. Pistol shots were fired, by
which one man was wounded in the eyes
and another ir the knee.
According to the best information attain
able, a marshal, on horseback, was seen
riding along the line of the torch>light pros
cession, and evidently giving directions, as
the men soon thereafter stretched out their
ranks. Persons were then observed knock>
ing down with clubs several Of the bearers
of the tranSparencies.
One of the transparencies bore the in>
scription, "JohnSon-Welcome the Presi-
dent" The holder Of this transparency was
thrown down, and a shot fired at him. A
friend came to his relief and fired at the
asSailant. At least dozen or more shots
were fired in quick succession, The result
is, one man was shot in the heart and
several wounded.
The President received a few friends, and
retired to bed at an early hour, and the
crowd finally dispersed from before the hotel
about 10 O'Clock, at which time the city was
quiet.

OLD BENNETT AGAIN The New York
Herald, which has hitherto firmly supported
the President, in to>day's issue pronounces
his plan of restoration failure, and more>
over says his generous actions to the late
re7olted States have been accepted by that
people as covering license for sanguinary
outrage against the poor negroes and the
abolition of Yankees, and that the ground
swell which commenced in Maine will sweep
the whole country as against the Presidents
policy. -.

We refer with pleasure to the notice of
Messrs. Carwile & Mclaughlin, in another
column. This proposition is generous and
fair, and is only reiteration of their long
expressed desire. Such an example is worthy
Of acceptation and should be followed -
What infinite trouble and distress might be
avoided if a general and generous compro>
mise would be offered and accepted! The
difficulty would at once be solved as to what
should be done. Try it everybody.

CoLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. II, 1855.

We make the following extracts from pri
vate letter from friend now in Columbia:
Mr.. Greneker, Dear Sir-We are still discuss
ing the question, what shall be done for the re-
lief of the people of the State in their present
PROSTATE condition? The Legis lature is divided
into two parties or sections, one advocating
something" to be done, the other objecting to
any and everything. You may call them "do
something's" and s'do nothings." The former
concentrated upon the measure to postpone the
Courts till next year, which came to a final vote
on Saturday and was lost by about ten votes,
several of its friends being absent. There is
under discussion now scheme reported by the
judiciary committee which proposes new rem
edy that allows parties to sue and obtain liens
on the debtors property by the writ, and allows
him five years to pay his debts, one fifth annu-
ally. The party in the Legislature, opposed to
any interference with the Courts, generally favor
this measure, and it may pass, but I do not be-
lieve that it will. still think that the Courts
will be postponed, notwithstanding the defeat of
the measure on Saturday. Some days ago the
Senate defeated similar measure, but recon
sidered their veto, and passed the bill on Satur-
day. This will bring the question again before
the House.
These measures have produced an interesting
ard at times an exciting discussion. The Legis-
lature will probably adjourn on Saturday.
The news from the North is bad-It is believed
that the Radicals will sweep everything before
them, at all events, retain their power. This is
gloomy prospect. God only knows what will
become of our poor country if this result should
follow the approaching elections. ... *S&

even the announcement Of any one having
paid up a subscription, and only two callers,
one to sell load of wood, the other to bor-

potatoes, crout, or something else, who
knows, we don't therefore, let's wait.
