Of this drama there will be no other hero than the

ing to see General Grant, but were
disappointed in this, as the General
went directly from the depot to the
Detroit boat and thence west to meet
the party at some point West. I'm
pleasant rumors are circulated as to
the reason of this action of the Cen
eral separating from the Presidential
party. The ostensible reason was that
the General was unwell, and desired
rest.
The speech of the President is
characterized as worse than his 22d
of February effort, or even his re-
sponse to Reverdy johnson. He was
listened to respectfully enough, and
cheered at intervals by his partisans
until he began stigmatizing those who
elected him as traitors, then the in
terruptions became general in the
crowd. The President confessed
himself mad, and went in with will.
His friends excuse the matter to-day
by declaring he was too drunk to be
responsible for his acts during his
speech. He was frequently prompted
by some one at his side.
Early this morning an immense
banner appeared across Superior
Street, at the most public point on the
route of the Presidential party to the
depot; it was hanked by national
flags, and bore the Inscriptions: I" My
Record" Treason must be made
odious, and traitors must be pun
ished;" In the work of reconstruc-
ton, traitors must take back Seats
Andrew johnson.
The Presidents attention was di-
rected to this as he passed under it,
and made several efforts to read it as
it was lifted and swayed by the breeze,
but appeared to fail In the attempt un-
til a darky, who attends him, when
directly under the flag, nearly disjoint-
ed his neck in stretching it to catch
the words for his Excellency. This
was the only motto or greeting visible
in the city. No banners or other
marks greeted the eye, except in two
or three places, where national flags
were displayed. AS the train bore him
away there were few cheers, and the
people seemed glad the disagreeable
affair was over. h..l $3.50 ....a.l +

The Herald says reliable private
advices from Washington inform US
that Macmillan has expressed to the
officers of his household his deter
mination to abdicate at once unless
the Empress shall receive from Ma
poleon renewed supplies of men and
money, which she requests. The Empe-
ror's words were, that in the event of
Napoleon's refusal, should he prefer
the happy retirement of Mirramar to
the anxieties of the Mexican Empire,
where all his best intentions were mis-
understood, and his sincere efforts to
advance the interests of his people
maliciously thwarted. The campaign
against Matamoras and Tampico will
not be abandoned, but this in no way
effects Macmillan determination.

Mr.. Pendleton, in accepting the
nomination, approved of the action of
the Philadelphia National Union Con-

the war had decided the doctrine of
secession, and the Southern people.
by the action of their State Coyentions,
and by the unanimous declaration of
their delegates at Philadelphia, have
abandoned it as a rule of political ac-

immediate admission of the Southern
States to their right of representation.
