Loud eheers.l
The following is an abstract of the reply made
by Gov. HAMILTON Of Texas, to the address Of
welcome delivered BY Mr. GTBBoEs to-day:
Gov. HAMILTON, in behalf of the assembled
loyaliSts of the South. returned thanks for the
welcomes winch they had received. He said II
would be an Unmixed pleasure to do so. were Il
not that they could not but remember the cause
OF their assembling. They had hoped that alter
the triumph of the national armies those who suf-
fered so long would have some Indemnity for the
past, and at least security for the future. They
had hoped 10 be permitted to return peacefully 10
their habitatiens and renew their associations
with friends whom they had so long been parted
WITH but the experience of the past twelve months
had taught them in bitterness of heart that the
spirit which animated the rebellion was IS ram
pant to-day as on the day when the rebels first
drew their swords. Voices" That's so - The
prescription Of all who aided the Govern
ment was a raw point, and as lnc0rngible at the
South, as defiant, as denunciatory, as vindictiye,
and as cruel as it was at any period during the
rebellion. Seeing this. and realizing that so far
from being reunited TO their homes they were re-
united to the same element which had sought
the destruction of TIM Government Some of
them who happened to be at the national capital
deemed the time propitious TO call on the Union
lists of the South to send delegates to meet and
consult together as to their ewn condition and
that Of the country.

journals. The proprietors Of the leading
dailies, at an informal meeting last night,
had a free talk about the revolution which
the enormous expenses entailed by the cable
were certain to work in the whole business
of newspaper publication. The usual diff
ferences Of opinion prevailed, but there was
perfect manimity on one point and that
was the necessity Of raising the price of
newspapers and advertising. One Of the
speakers urged that the American people
have all along been getting newspapers at a
much cheaper rate than the people of any
other country. They demanded the best
themarket eould afford, at prices wholly unre-
numerative to those whose capital, enterprise
and industry were involved. Another adj
vised an advance TO six cents, instead of four

opinion that, il any increase az all was re-

GEN. GRANT AT THE EXECUTIVE
MANSION AND ON THE PRESIDEN-
TIAL TOUR.

From the National Intelligencer.l
The journals of the Radical Disunion
party that are so clean gone into reckless
partisanship as to strike blindly, with
out respect to facts seem, as the Cincinnati
Commercial says, to "watch closely the acts
of General GRANT" Do they remember
that no incurred sraat oanSu-o from tho
Disunionists when he paroled the armies of
LEE and JOHNSTON, dttoCiag them 70 90 home
Uhere they should not be disturbed? Do they
remember his report, SO long ago as last De
cember, in respect TO the condition and feel
ing of the Southern people, which was de-
nounced in the Senate by leading Radicals,
Mr.. SUMNER characterizing it as white
washing concern ?" Do they call to mind
his Recommendations for the release of State
prisoners, whom Mr.. HOLT's suborned wit
nesses charged as pdrticeps crin,inis in the as
sassination of Mr.. LINCOLN? They say
that he declined accompanying the President
in his tour to Chicago. That falsehood has
had a short life. They say that he
was entrapped into the company of
the National Union delegates at the
Executive Mansion on the occasion of their
address to the President and his reply.
What are the facts? If General GRANT
was summoned by the President on business,
he knew where to go. II was the Executive
Chamber and not the East Room, which was
packed by a crowd to witness the ceremony
and hear the speeches. We state reliably
what occurred. A gentleman present, who
knew General GRANT personally, (he was
not in uniform,) volunteered to get him
through the crowd. 1t gave way when it
was stated that General GRANT was the
party desiring go forward. When thrCug
the crowd he took his stand Immediately at
the side of the President, amid great cheer
ing, which was earnestly joined by the South
ern delegates, because they sincerely admire
him, not oniy as a soldier, but for his Kind
acts before stated in this article. When the
ceremony was closed he cordially inter
changed civilities generally, and shook
hands with the leading persons present, in
Guiding the Southern delegates.
We allude to all this mainly to correct
the public mind, is it has been wrongly
impressed by any mean and malignant state
ments of the enemies of the President of
theidea that General GRANT, in his relations
10 the President, has acted otherwise than
as a gentleman, or 10 the Southern delegates
other than in consistence with his previous
great public acts of generosity and charity
to rebels in arms. We hare no idea that the
Radical DisuniOniSts hare any aid or comfort
from him en- their more than suspected designs
to break up he Government i The elections 90
GgainSi them this autumn.

A CONVENTION THAT DTDN'T CONVENE
There is said TO be bakers dozen Of politi-

expected, didn't amount 10 much. The
