LIST Resolved. That the almost entire failure of

THE PRESIDENTS ToUR.-The journey of
President johnson from Washington city to
Chicago, has created more excitement and agita-
ton in the Northern and Northwestern States
than anything that has occurred within our re-
membrance. The friends of peace and restora-
ton enthusiastic and cheerful, while the enc
mics of the President and of his patriotic policy
are sullen and spiteful. The President has made
near hundred speeches since he left Washing
ton. and has generally been listened to with re-
spect. Occasionally radical tries to insult
him, but the President turns upon him and pours
few hot shot into the radical concern, causing
general merriment.
From many telegraphic dispatches giving ac-
counts of the Presidents speeches and receptions,
we select few paragraphs:
"On Tuesday morning reception was rendered
him at Elyna, Ohio. but it was marred by several
insults A black flag displayed and the
band drawn up to receive the party played drge
instead of national air.
At Oberlin no reception was rendered. At
Fremont very enthusiastic reception took
place. At Toledo the Radicals married the pro-
ceedings by insulting interruptions, but, with
these exceptions, the affair passed off well.
A great crowd assembled at Detroit. Michigan,
where General Grant received the party in per-
son. L ne crowd was so OVerpOWering that the
arrangements for procession could not be eff
fectually carried out. The Presidents speech at
Detroit is of the most remarkable delivered
by him. person in the crowd nsultingy al
luded to the salary paid the President. who, thus
interrupted. addressed the intruder of the
Radical hounds who had been barking at him for
eight months past, and taking up the alluson to
his salary his text. he poured broadsde of
invective and ridicule into the Radical Congress.
which had doubled its own pay and given the
MANNED soldiers of the a meagre pittance of
$50 bounty for their services.
General Grant has rejoined the party. Score
tary Seward, in his speech, alluded to the efforts
being made to separate General Grant and the
President, characterizing them as futile
CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The President arrived last
night and met by immense crowd. He
spoke from the balcony of the Sherman House.
No disturbance.
The corner stone of the monument was laid to-
day-There were tens of thousands of persons
present. Gen Dix's address is said to be a mas
ter piece of oratory.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1866-09-11

THE BIGGEST SORT OF LIEs.-The New
lies for the purpose of injuring President John
and Strengthening the Radical programme:
THE southern delegates to the Loyal Conven-
ton almost unanimously concur in the statement
that since the New Orleans riot the temper and
disposition of the southern rebels has become
much more openly violent toward the Union men.
In Mississippi especially they are very violent
and malignant. In most of the lately rebellous
States it has become impossible to hold public
Union meetings except at the risk of a massacre
of those who may attend them. The encourage
ment and endorsement of the rebel Thugs and
murderers at New Orleans has emboldened their
confreres and sympathisers throughout the
South. who feel that they have the powerful sup
port and countenance of the President Of the
United States. and consequently feel that they
masters of the situation. They have been in
duced to believe that the next Congress will con-
tain majority of supporters of their .'rghts,' as
they term them or that failing, that the Presi-
dent will be prepared to inaugurate revolutionary
measures which will place them in control of the
Legislative branch of the Government even if it
shall be at the expense of another civil war, which
they expect TO be fought out in the North, and
desolate that section of the country fearfully
their own overrun and desolated by the
armies of the Republic.
A North Carolina delegate alleges that he has
received a threatening letter from his home, sta
ting that if he returns there he will be treated to
a bullet
The North Carolina delegate' need not be
frightened-no one will hurt him, and if he is a
native Of the State (Which we do not believe) he
knows that he can pass from one end of the State
to the other without being troubled. But he
ought to feel ashamed of himself for assisting in
the attempt to msrepresent. injure and ruin his
own Decnlp.

THE CORN TRADE.-We presume that seve-
raj of our Merchants will make arrangements to
bring to this market Corn from Baltimore. Nor
folk. &C.. and we hope they will cooperate so
rs to put it at the lowest possible figure to con-
sumers. 1t will benefit the trade of the town, be-
sides relieve the necessities of many to sell corn
here at moderate price. We do not think the
scarcity in this section will be anything like what
was feared few weeks ago-this whole country
is a long ways off from famine yet awhie-but
the importation of corn from other markets will
not hurt anything but do much good, provided it
can be sold at ordinary prices. After the new
crop begins to arrive at Baltimore and Norfolk
we think it be afforded here at 81 25 per
bushel.

FRENCH Troops IN MExIco.-While Mr.
Seward was in New York, as one of the Presi-
DENTAL party, enjoying the great ovation the
people extended them, some one haoded him
the cable dispatch announcing that Napoleon
had extended the time for the Withdrawal of the
French troops from Mexico till January next,
and asked him what he thought of it. The
Secretary replied by telling an anecdote, a la

ANOTHER REPORT ON OUR CONDITION.
Gen. Gordon Granger. of the U. s. army, has
recently been on tour of observation in the
South, and has made an extended report. He
declares that he found nowhere in the South sign
or symptom Of organized disloyalty. The secret
societies which have given rise to the latest false
hoods on that subject, he found to be similar to
the Masonic order. merely charitable associa-
tons for the relief of the widows and orphans of
confederate soldiers. The people he found TAX
ing U. S. currency gladly-a better security
against the bugbear of Southern repudiatiou than
a dozen constitutional amendments; and all of
them anxious for Northen capital, and even
Northern labor, to develop the resources of a
wasted country. In reference to the few distur-
Dances that have taken place at the South, Gen.
Granger says:
The people of the South may be divided into
two classes. There is the Industrious class. la
boring earnestly to build up what has been bro
ken down, striving to restore property to the
country. and interested mainly in the great ques-
ton of providing food and clothing for them
selves and families. These form. the great ma
jorty of the people,. Then there is another class;
an utterly irresponsible class, composed mainly
of young men who were the bucks of Southern
society before the war, and chiefly spent their
time III lounging round the court-rooms and bars'
in chicken fighting and gambling. These have
been greatly broken up by the war; many of
them have been killed, but those who remain are
still disturbing elements in the community, and
are doing much mischief. 1t is this class of men
and number of the poorer whites who have
formed gangs for horse stealing. 1t is they who,
in some instances, have made attacks on officers
of the Freedmens Bureau, and have ill-treated
the freedmen. 1t is they who afford the main
pretext for saying that there is among the people
of the South feeling of hostility towards the
United States government But they not
the representatives of the Southern people.
They form but an insignificant minority in the
community, and even they are actuated not so
ment by reluctance to earn their own liveli
hood by honest labor and individual exertion.
