Presidential Trim.

The Presidential Trip.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 3.-The President
arrived at half-past eight o'clock this
evening, having a pleasant trip from Buf.
falo, with receptions and short speeches
all the way. The Presidents voice grows
hoarser and hoarser, and the fatigues of
the trip are evidently wearing upon the
entire party. It is also noticeable that
the further West the President goes the
more coldly he and Seward are received,
and the more cheers are bestowed on
Grant and Farragut.
The Southern Union Convention.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.-The Southern
Union Convention was inaugurated with
great eclat according to programme. The
Union League and other political clubs
formed a procession in Independence
Square, headed by the Union League,
500 strong. The National Club escorted
the Southern delegates, and the organiza-
ton called "Boys in Blue escorted the
Northern delegations, with the "Republi-
can Inyincibles." These were followed
by iremen and citizens. In the rear,
Fred. Douglas walked with Theo. Tilton,
and received great applause. The streets
were decorated with flags and mottos and
crowded with people. The formal well
come Of the Southern delegates was pro-
nounced by Chas. Gibbons, in front OF the
Union League House. The Southern
delegates entered the National Hall at l
P. NJ, and Col. Stokes, of Tennessee, read
the call. Thos. J. Durant, Of Louisiana,
was made temporary chairman. A Com
mistee on Credentials wa appointed. A
Committee an Permanent Organization
was also appointed, with A. J.. Fletcher,
of Tennessee, as chairman; after which
| the Convention adjourned.
The welcome proceeding in front OF
Union League House called out at least
ten thousand people. Charles Gibbons
greeted the Delegates from the South as
fellow-loyalists, fellow-citizens, friends
and brethren. There was no loyal blood
on their hands, and their souls were free
from the guilt Of treason.
Dispatch from the Pacific.
The following dispatch was read:
SAN Francisco, Sept. Ito Hon. A.
J.. Hamilton, of Texas: The Pacific
States send cordial congratulations to your
Convention. May your deliberations pro-
mote the adoption Of the only wise plan
OF reconstruction. That proposed by Con-
gress. Signed,
F. F. Low,
Governor Of Cal.
H. G. BLAsDgL,
Governor Of New.
A. c. GIBBs,
Gov. Of Oregon.
GEO. L. WOODS,
Gov. Elect Oregon.
Reply 10 the "Welcome.o
Hamilton, of Texas, replied to Gibbons:
"They had hoped, after the triumph of
the national arms, that those who had
suffered so long would have some indem-
nity for their losses, or at least security
for the future. They had hoped to be
permitted to return peacefully to their
habitations and renew their associations
with friends from whom they had so long
been separated (; but the experience Of the
last twelve months had taught them in
bitterness Of heart that the spirit which
| animates the rebels was as rampant to-day
as when rebels first drew sword. They
asked loyal delegations who had come
here to give them the hand Of welcome,
| and help them to renew their faith in the
| Government in q purer spirit than before,
and to prove to Presidents and Cabinets
that the people North and South, who
were loyal to the Government, would be
satisfied with nothing less than the actual
security Of individuals, and equality I'M
der the Constitution to all men," (Cheers.)
Rains Prevent Outdoor Meetings.
Heavy rains tonight prevent outdoor
mass meetings, but the large crowd assem-
bled at National Hall was addressed by
Horace Maynard and other eloquent
Southerners.
Resignation OF Hannibal Hnmlin.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Hannibal Ham
lin, Collector Of the port of Boston, ten
dered his resignation to the President, in
a letter dated August 2Sth, in which he
says: II do not fail to observe move
ments and efforts which have been and are
now being made to organize q party, con-
sisting of those engaged in the late rebel
lion, and their allies, who sought to Grip
pie and embarrass the Government. These
classes of persons, with small fractions Of
others, constitute the party. It proposes
to overthrow the Union Republican party,
and to restore to power, without guaran-
ties for the future, men who have been
disloyal; those who sought to destroy
the Government. I gave all the influence
1 possessed to uphold the Republican
party during the war, without the aid Of
which the Government would have been
destroyed and the rebellion q success.
With such a party as that now inaugu-
rated I have no sympathy, and 1 therefore
tender my resignation, to take effect from
the time my successor shall be appointed
and qualified"
