The Presidential Tour-Insults to the Pre-

JACKSON, MICHIGAN, Sept. 5


The President and party passed here to-day
On Tuesday morning reception rendered
him at Elyra, Ohio, but it marred by severa
insults A black flag was displayed, and the band
drawn up to receive the party played dirge in

demonstration took place. At Toll do the Radi-
Gals married the proceedings by insulting inter
ruplon but with these exceptions the affair passed
oft well. great crowd assembled at De-
troit, where General Grant received the party in
person. The crowd was so empowering that the
arrangements for procession could not be effec-
tually. carried out The Presidents speech at De-
trlot Is one OF the most remarkable yet delivered
by him. person in the crowd insultingly allu-
ded to the salary paid the President who, thus
interrupted, s1dressed the intruder as one of the
radical hounds who had been barking at him for
eight months past, and taking up the allusion to
his larry as his text, he poured broadside of in
vective and ridicule into the radical Congress,
which he called the Congress which had doubled
it's own pay, and given the manned soldiers of the
war meagre pittance of fifty dollars bounty for
their services
General Grant has rejoined the party. Secre-
tary Seward, in his speech, alluded to the efforts
being made to separate General Grant aud the
President, characterizng them as futile.

An Earnest Penitent.

The New York Ecening Post is determined
to repair past error by present amends. 1t
ceases not, daily and every day, to atone for
its former radical course, by administering
such antidotes to the bane OF disunionism as
cannot fail to secure the sndi desired, and
public conmendation. We have already ta-
ken copious extracts from that venerable and
sagacious newspaper, and are not tired in
continuing them We know that, apart from
the responsibility of the source, the intrinsic
wisdom OF its suggestions cannot fail to invite
reflection.
Having repeated some gifts chargesagainst
the errors and evils of the radical party, the
Post continues:
when q party thus blunders,it must take
| the consequencss. During the war much was
| forgiven to the union party, because it Car
| ried on the war. But the more thoughtful
| men in that party should have forsssn that
when the war ceased the country would scru-
tinize legislation more closely, and that it
would no longer do to accept, a. she leaders
and opponents of the republican party, men
had even then embarrassed the party, and
rendered more difficult the great work to
which President Lincoln devoted his life.
s'Nor do We see that the republicans are
doing any better. They have the power still
to undo some things that were wrongly done
and to do some important things that havs
been omitted. What is it that prevents con
gress now from admitting to their seats al
southern members who can take the oath
upon the constitutional scrutiny, each of thu
house IN which be claims a seat? Why is no
this done? The Philadelphis convention Ii
denounced and feared by great many re
publicans. because they are afraid it will di
vide the republican party. Now, is not thi

ty in congress have done or omitted come
thing which is repropated or demanded b.
parties which elected it? Mr.. Boutwell, ant
others declare their belief that the presiden

Now. then, suppose this to be true. thoug
there is not the least proof that it is, is no
the best way for congress to check any sue
movement, to admit at once all who claiu

stitutional, necessary. If it were done now

HARLAN RESIGNED.

Secretary of the Interior Harlan has at
last resigned, having held on until the radi-
cal pressure was too much for him. He
has never, since member OF the
cabinet, been in entire harmony with the
president, and he ought to have gone out
long ago. He has now respite from pub
lilo duties until the 4th of March next, at
which time his term a senator from Iowa
commences. Honorable Orville Hickman
Browning, of Quincy, Illinois, who has been
identified with the republican party since
lts organization, and who drew up its FIRST
platform, is MIR. Harlan's successor.
Mr.. Browning is we'll known in the west.

in that body four years. was prominent

heartily. We learn that in the southern
states the proposal meets with great favor,
and that the citizens of those states will take
the necessary steps without delay to send
representatives where they again may be al

conception of true patriotism, and will be

ANOTHER JOHNSON VICTORY:

The radicals in congress, on the 25th ult,
made complete surrender to the "policy" OF
President johnson, acknowledging that the
members from Tennessee had rightfully been
members of congress ''from the day of their
election :" They voted that the compensation
OF those gentlemen should date from the 4th
of March, 1865, thus confssslng, by this high
act of recognition, that for six months the
radicals had wrongfully shut out from con.
gress those entitled to entrance, as truly as
Thad. Stevens himself, and that the long
continued refusal to examine their creden-
tails was an act prompted by the basess par
tisan spirit, in violation of the constitution,
revolutionary in spirit and in form, and at
last condemned by the radical faction itself.
President johnson has had long fight to
win this concession But the country con-
graduates him that it is won at last.
Here is the report of the proceedings on
the question, On tbs 25th:
The speaker presented a letter from the
sergeant at arms, submitting the question as
| to the time TO which the compensation of the
| Tennessee members should date back, and
| stated that a. it emil odied q new question he
