President Johnson's Tour.
JACKSON, Michigan, September 5.-Thc
President and party passed here to-day
Tuesday morning, reception was rendered
him at Elyria, Ohio; but it was marrcd by
several insults. A black flag was displayed,
and the band drawn up to receive the party
played dirgo instead Of national air. At
Obcrlin, no reception was rendered. At Free.
mont, very enthusiastic demonstration took
place. at Toledo, tho radicals ,narrcd the
proceedings by Insulting Interruptions; but
with these exceptions, the affair passed Of
we'll. Il s,eat crowd assembled at Detroit,
where Gen. Grant received the party in per-
son. The crowd was so overpowcr;ng, that
arrangements for procession could not be
cffectually carried out.
The Presidents speech at Detroit is one Of
the most remarkable delivered by him. A per-
son in the crowd insultingly alluded to the sal
ary paid tho President, who, thus interrupted,
addressed tho intruder as one Of the radical
hounds, who had been barking at him for
eight months past and taking up the alusion
to his salary as his text, he poured broad-
side Of invectivc and ridioule into the radical
Congress which he called tho Congress which
had doubled. it's nssi'.Hr' rntagiy prttunco of
fifty dollars bounty for their services.
Gen. Grant has rejoincd the party. SEQ
retary Seward. in his speech, alluded to the
efforts being made to separate Grant and tho
President, charactcrizing them rs futile.
CIIlcAao, September The President
concluded his remarks at the laying of the
cornerstone of the Douglas Monument as fol-
lows: " am present to show my high re.
gard for man who pcrshed in public service,
and ono whom respected and loved. have
no eulogy to pronounce-that has been done
better than could do it, Some mon NAV
wear the civic wreath which the nation wcav-
es for those who serve their country in lofty
position, or their names may be engraved up.
on the imperishablc records of national gory.
This column is reared to the memory of the
legislator and the representative man con-
sciousness OF duty performed was his while
living, and his reward will be the inscription
of his namo high on the ocnotaph erected by
grateful nation to commemorate the servi
ces of those who lived and toilcd for their pco
pie and the union of the States. TImmcnse
applause. Fellow citizens, believe in my
heart, that if we could communicate with the
dead, and cause them to know what was tran
spring on earth, were it possible for Stephen
n. Douglas to be disturbed from his sum-
bcrs, he would rise from his grave, shake of
the habiliments of the tomb, and proclaim
the Constitution and the Unon--they must
bo preserved" Great applause

entable results, pistol shots were fired and one
