CHINESE EMBAssY.-The Hon. Anson
Burlingame, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary from the Chi
nese Government to the Treaty Powers,
with his suit of Chinese dignitaries, ar
rived at New York, on Friday 22d, in
the Aspinwall steamer. Mr. Burlingame
went quietly to his hotel and gave no
opportunity for any public reception
The novelty, as we'll as the surprising
Importance of the mission of Mr. Burlin-
game, excite the profound interest, and
the universal desire to honor fellow
citizen who returns, after eminent servI
ces, clothed witt, so great dignity, ard
which will no doubt, find fitting express
sion after his official presentation to the
Government shall have taken place.
Gen. Grant and Mr. Colfax were sere-
naded in Washington, on Friday evening
22d, Gen. Grant made speech. He an
nounced that he would not decline to fill
the position to which the people have
called him, and made the all-sufficient
promise that his future course should be
modelled upon his past. So much has
rarely been said in so few words, before.
The resolutions of the College boys
worry the Demijohnson party immense
ly. AS the boom of one gun after an
other, opening all along tho line, strikes
upon their tympanums they feel sick.
At first they pretended not to notice
then they scolded; now they are at
tempting in very i'll natured way to
argue. And the artilary still plays, and
the young men of action-the men who
are toscarry the proud banner of progress
for the nsxt generation, are all falling in
to line with the Republican party-the
party of action and progress. Blessed
be Rex! Thanks to the idiotic Demi-
Johnson leadership!
