GRAND BANQUET-MR. SEWARD SICK.

P1TrsBURG, Sept, l3.-The President ana his
party left Columbus at half-past seven O'Clock
this morning, nrorte for this place.
On reaching Newark, platform was found to
have been already erected for formal reception,
and decorated with various complimentary devices.
Salutes were fired, and the people, who had gath
cred in large numbers, were hearty in their mani
festations Of welcome. One Of the devices exhib.
tied here was, No Indianapolis here; we stand by
the President" Instead Of anticipated trouble,
there was nothing butcheering, as mark of re-
pect at Steubenville. The President and his
party met very pleasant and complimentary re
ception.
The train reached Pittsburg at six o'clock this
evening, and, in expectation of its arrival, the
workmen in the factories of the vicinity were
found to have turned out en- masse.
On its approach to the station, they burst into
vociferous and prolonged cheers.
The crowd was enormous, so dense at the station
that egress was extremely difficult, and extended
for blocks.
At the station, the President and party entered
carriages which preceded a.procession that had
been prepared for the occasion.
This was decidedly the most impressive and
brilliant of all that have been got up during the
whole tour.
The fire department were out in full force, with
their engines handsomely prepared as for gay
exhibition, and the members carried torches, as
did large number of citizens.
On the arrival of the President and party il
front of the St. Charles Hotel, perhaps the largest
was found to have gathered about the place. The
people were literally packed and jammed to-
gether on all sides as far as could be seen; and
even in the cross-streets the case was the same
for distance of several squares.
The military had tried to maintain something
like order at the depot but they almost, if not en-
tirely, failed.
This city, as is of course well understood, is a
radical focus. situated in Thad. steyens's banner
country.
From the first, the conduct Of a portion of the
crowd, as the cortege approached the st. Charles
Hotel, was unruiy: but the plan Of the radicals
was fully developed only when the President
having reached it, commenced to address the peo.
pie from the balcony. They at, once interrupted
him with insulting shoutngs, and cries and noises
of all kinds, so that not word lie said could be

finally, after vainly waiting for it to su1side and
making several efforts to induce a respectful at
tention to what he desired to say the President,
! with Cen Grant and Admiral Farragut, retired
both General Grant and Admiral Farragut con
demed these shameful proceedings as they deserve.
The shouts, groans, and noises were continued
for more than an hour afterwards. Gen. Grant
then again appeared on the balcony and requested
tie people to go home, telling them that they had
seen everything, and that they had therefore bet
ter retire. The mob became so riotous, however,
that Gen. Grant could not continue his remarks
with any chance of being heard. Cries for Presi-
dent Johnson were mingled with groans.and cheers
for everybody, including Henry Ward Beecher.
Several fights have occurred, and the crowd
swayed from one side of the street to the other, in
an astonishing manner. 1t thnned good deal
after Gen Grants remarks, but nevertheless, the
riotous conduct was continued to late hour.
Mr.. Seward is here with the President; but lie
is still sick.
At nine o'clock the President and party par
took of a snmptous banquet, after which, they re-
tired to rest. Ella.
NEWARK, Ohio, September l3--9 A. M-Sev-
eral thousands of persons were here in waiting.

across the road bearing the words: owe stand

General Smythe introduced the President, Mr..
Welles, the secretary of the navy, General Grant
and Admiral FarragGt.
Calls were made for Secretary Seward bat the
enthusiastic crowd were informed that he was toe
