Resolved, That in cooperation, based upon
just financial and revenue laws, We recognize q
sure and lasting remedy for the abuse Of the
present industrial system, and that until the

A WASHINGTON despatch to the New
York Times says that feeling is exhib-
iting itself in Republican circles there
of partial confidence in tho Administra-
ton, which leads to the beliefthat Con-
gress will not be required to reassemble
in September. The daily outcroppings
of fantagonism to Seymour and Blair
from the immediate adherents OF the
President, and the fact that majority
of the Cabinet are well known to be op-
posed to the Democratic platform, is
accepted as an indication that neutral
policy will be adopted not entirely sat
isfactory to the Republicans, but by no
means in support ofthe Democracy. In
fact, unless the reorgauized States of
the South call on the President for
arms, or otherwise involve him in a
controversy about reconstruction, the
correspondent thinks there can be no
possibility of his doing anything that
will require the presence of Congress
before the next regular session. He
has virtually promised not to attempt
a withdrawal of, or further interference
with the troops in the recently admit
ted States, tor he has caused 1t to be
publicly announced that he will accept
the advice of Secretary SChotold res
pecting army matters, and IL is well
known that the latter is opposed to any
more interference, as he was opposed to
the recent order changing the Comman-
ders OF the Military Districts. How long
this feeling OF confidence will last, how
ever, is a problem for the future.

Travelled extensively over the South,
and finds but one sentiment there
among the decent white men, and that
is hostility to the Congressional Recon-
struction plan. In case certain things
are done, such as an attempt to inter
fere with the Presidential vote in the
Southern States, Semmes predicts that
there will be new rebellion. he says
since the failure of impeachment and
the nomination of Seymour and Blair,
the Southern people nre in no humor to
be trifled with.
The valorous Semmes had better get
his neck insured before this "new rebel.

ST. LOUIS, August 5.-General Grant
was the recipient of one of the most en-
thusiastic demonstrations tonight, in
the way of serenade ever given to
any one in this city. Before the Gener-
puolic demonstrations in his honor
have been declined. Since his first ar
rival he has not spent single night in
the city. It has, therefore, been i'm
possible for the citizens to make any
public expression in his honor and
have him present. But as 1t
was known he would leave for
Galena tomorrow, he was in
invited to meet a few political friends
this evening at the residence of VIM.
Mckee, proprietor of the Democrat, and
he consented. The result was most
hearty and enthusiastic ovation. Hun
dreds OF citizens thronged the residence
and were introduced TO the General,
and between ten and eleven O'Clock
three bands, each accompanied by a
large crowd from different parts of the
city, with banners and transparlencies,
came and serenaded him. AT this time
the street in front of the residence was
packed with people, blocking up the
street railroad. In response 10 loud and
prolonged calls, the General appeared
on the steps of the house and was intro

brief and pointed speech, after which
General Grant stepped forward and
spoke as follows:
" Gentlemen and FellotU. Citizens Il
can scarcely find words TO thank you
for this very hearty and very warm re-
ception. 1t is peculiarly gratifying to
me to meet so many friends ofSt. Louis
and st. Louis county, where have re-
sided longer than at any one place since
1 have been man grown, and where
have interests. and where 1 may again
become q resident at some future day.
Thanking you again, bid you good
night"
This speech was received with nine
enthusiastic cheers, and large numbers
1f people pressed forward to greet the
General, who remained on The steps
some minutes and shook hands with
all who could approach within reach.
The General soon afterwards left Tor
his home, acknowledging himself out
nanked for once, but expressing him
self highly gratified with the demon
stration.
The crowd fingered long time, and
speeches were made by Charles john
son, Colonel Calcard and others. Gen.
Grant will leave tor Galena to. morrow
