OVERLAND DISPATCHES
DATES TO ~YRsTRRDAY.
The Presidential Trim.

ShiCAGoi freslQenI arrl-
we'd at a late hour last night, but the
streets were crowded and there was q
very cordial welcome-music, fireworks,
cheers, etc. Mayor Rice welcomed the
President in the name of the city. as the
Chief Magistrate Of the United States, and
he was received with all the respect due
his high Office. He made a brief speech
from the balcony of the Sherman House,
after which the crowd cheered for General
Grant and Admiral Farragut, and showed
some disrespect to Messrs. Secretary Sew
ard, Welles and Randall.
The Douglas Monument ceremonies to-
day are progressing with scat; and while
the town participates in the public honors
to the distinguished party Of visitors and
to the occasion that has brought them
here, it is hoped that the President will
not be tempted to make political speeches.
There is every chance to avoid showing
him the di,respect which his speeches this
side Of Albany have provoked. The
Cleveland demonstration on Monday
night causes deep regret throughout the
country: that the crowd should have in
suited the President, and that the Presi-
dent should have degraded his high posi-
tioE to handy epithets with irresponsible
men in the crowd.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The Republican
Committee at Syracuse, yesterday, nomi-

brated on Broad street last night. The
professions were immense, including fire.
men, military and political clubs, etc.;
and no effort or expense was spared to
make the demonstration a success. Mayor
McMichael presided at the main stand
and spoke half an hour in severe criticism
upon the Presidents conduct during his
trip. Other speeches were made by ex-

Laying Cornor-stono OF Douglas
Monument.
CHICAGO, September 6.-The ceremo-
MES Of laying the cornerstone of the
Douglas monument to-day were most i'm
presslve, and accompanied by the most
enthusiastic ovation to President Johnson.
At an early hour the streets near the
Sherman House were choked by the vast
crowd which had come from every part of
the State to witness the ceremonies. The
procession to the grounds was over q mile
in length, and was formed by the various
Lodges Of the Masonic Fraternity in Chi
cago, the Committee Of Arrangements Of
the Order Of knights Templars, the Hi
bernian organizations, Temperance socie-
ties, Italian, Turn Verein and German So
~cieties, the Turner'S and the vast crowd
Of citizens all along the route, cheered

whom met the most enthusiastic reception
from the crowd, which numbered many
thousands. Aften the stone had been laid

and public services Of STEPHEN A. DoUo-

The Presidcnt'. Tour-Hc Rejoins
General Grnnt--Feeling about the
President's Electioneering Tricks.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-The President ar
rived at Detroit last evening, where Gen.
eral Grant %rejoins the party, which will
arrive at Chicago this evening. The
President and Seward have spoken at
every station along the entire route from
Washington, except at Oberlin, Ohio, and
the sameness Of the Presidents speeches
everywhere confding the Constitution,
Union and the flag to the keeping of the
assembled people-renders the omission
to do so at Oberlin more noticeable. At
several points on the route between
Cleveland and. Detroit, yesterday, there
was marked dissatisfaction because Gen.
eral Grant was not present, and pretty
strong murmurs of disapproval of the
President were heard.
Governor Oglesby, Of Illinois, declines
to attend the Chicago celebration, saying
in a speech at Springfield, Illinois, yester-
day, that he could not meet and welcome
the man who had prostituted a pilgrimage
to the tomb Of Douglas into a tour for
the most selfish and interruptions ends.
He would never welcome johnson to Chi
cago, Springfield or any other place in the
State. Governor Morton, of Indiana
also ~announce that lie will not welcome,
the President at Indianapolis, because the
President accepted the invitation Of the
Democratic State Central Committee, who
will make the reception q purely partisan
affair. This course Of Oglesby and Nor
ton finds further justification in the fact
that at Albany and various places in New
York Seward has spoken contemptuously
of Governor Fenton. whose welcome to
the President was addressed to him as
Chief Magistrate, and not as the pa
