Grant Reviews and makes a Speech.
CINCINNATI, September 10,
President Grant reviewed the process
sion of the Zouave and Colored Battalion
Police and Fire Department OF the Bur
net House this morning and received an
welcoming address by Major Davis, to
which he respOHed briefly. At noon, he
was introduced on change by Vice Presi-
dent Morrison. The President spoke
briefly, expressing his qualification at the
reception from the people, all the more
because II was from the people Of q
great nation and not from n divided cOun-
try.
TAE PRESIDENT VISITS THE RPOsrrIoN.
President Grant visited the Industrial
Exposition this evening. At s o'clock
large crowds had collected in the street
in front OF the halls in anticipation Of the
distinguished visitor. An immense audi.
ence had gathered in the halls Of the Elk.
position, estimated at from fifteen to
twenty thousand persons, The President
was first received in the main office by A.
S. Goshorn, President Of the Exposition,
after which, conducted by the latter and
accompanied by the Committee Of Ar
rangements, he entered the main hall OF
the Exposition. AS soon as he had passed
the yestibule the orchestra commenced
"Hall to the Chiei." Tho party passed
slowly up the central hall, the crowds
surging In the aisles and looking down by
thousands from the gallaries. Every
available space, from which good view
could be obtained, was used. Tho Presi-
Dental party could only move with great
deliberalion through the narrow openings |
in the crowd made by the police officers. |
When they reached the fountain, where
the great ConcOurse had the best view of
the President, the audience broke
into loud cheers. The President was
then conducted through the lower hall
and galleries. The horticultural, meChan.
ical and fine art departments were then
visited, the party returning through the
main hall, where II temporary halt was
called, while Clement Olhaben, chairman
Of the Horticultural Committee, presented |
the President with an exquisite boquet
on behalf Of the florists OF Cincinnati,
They then passed out to the main office,
where the President was presented TO the |
managers Of the Exposition. There was
no speech made to Mr.. Olbaben, who pre-
sentcd the boQuet; the General merely
replied, "I thank you, sir" which was
about al that was said, save what he re-
marked to the gentlemen accompanying
him as he passed by the various parts Of
the magnificent Exposition, in which he
expressed great interest.
This has been tho greatest day in the
history Of the Exposition. The number
of visitors to-day and evening are estima-
ted at thirty thousand. Large numbers
are here from abroad. Over two thousand
coupon tickets, sold by the various rail-
roads, were redeemed, which is u small
OF the persons who. came on
the various trains ..
Persons here today who have partiCi-
pated in the great fairs Of Europe, say
that this Is, in some respects, the greatest
industrial display they have ever seen.

LITTLE Rock, Sept. 10.

LITTLE ROCK, Sept III.
A few days since the Sheriff of Sebas.
tian county reported the Ku.Klux In that
county so bad that the civil officers could
not enforce the law. This report was ex-
tensively published and the citizens Of
that county held mass meeting and ap.
pointed n committee OF ten Republicans
to visit the localities where the outrages
were reported and ascertain the truth.
They did 80. After examining forty.iour
witnesses, nearly all Republicans, not one
single instance was found wherein the
Ku.Klux figured. A few disturbances
had occurred, but they were generally
traced to members of the militia.
The Fort Smith NeD Era Of tho 18th
reports that Deputy Marshall Peany
brought in seven white men from the In.
dian country, near the Kansas line, charg.
cd with larceny and an assault with
intent TO kill.
Some settlers living near the Usage Res.
ervation lost three horses, which were
supposed to have been taken by the 0sa.
ges. Twenty settlers started in pursuit,
and came across party Of Osages. The
latter proposed To the whites to go to
their camp, two miles of, and search for
the horses. The whites refused, and pro.
ceeded to take three horses from the lndi-
ans, agreeing 10 return them If the stolen
horses were returned. The Osages re-
fused to consent 10 this arrangement,
when the settlers attacked them and took
three horses. A number on both sides
were wounded and one white man was
killed. The Osages returned to their
camp, where their chief at once mounted
eighty young warriors and pursued the
whites, capturing seven and turning them
over to the Deputy Marshal.
Mr.. Peany reports that at Peru, in Kan.
sas, near the Indian line, q man named
Harper shot and killed his brother about
the same time. The brothers were part
ners in business. The deceased had a
quarrel with his wife, who, together with
the surviving brother, attended the lune-
raj. H....

Condemnation Of Female Commu-
nistS--A Judicial Outrage.
Correspondence London Times.


VERSAILLES, Sept. Z.
The condemnation to death Of the pc
troleuses Is startling to those who heard
the evidence on which 1t was professedly
based. They were found guilty, among
other charges, Of completely in arson.
There was not one jot or title of evidence
to establish this charge in the eyes Of
French law. The witnesses were numGr-
Gus, and had seen the accused carrying
drink about, nursing the wounded, and in
other ways which II Is not easy to put
upon paper, making themselves highly
useful and agreeable to their friends Of
the National Guard. But they had not
seen them set fire to any building, or join
In the preparations made by Others for
fire, They had not even heard the ac-
cused, with one exception, threaten to set
anything on fire. They had seen, or
heard, Of other women doing or saying all
this, but none Of the accused,
confess | thought, when heard the
oft report, that even perse-
cution itself had despaired to bring the
charges home to the accused. Sullin has
appealed to the higher courts for u revl-
sion Of sentence, and 1t is to be hoped
that, taking into consideration that he
was mailman for many years, and that
bis family believed in his insanity, the
sentence will not be carried out.

GheGntelhgEttesr:
The October EIectiOn..-O Officers to be
Chosen.

The annual elections for Legislature
county and township officers, and the
special election for delegates to the con
vention to revise the Constitution, will
occur on the fourth Thursday (9Gth) ol
next month; which is just five weeks
from tomorrow, The following are the
officers then TO be chosen:
Members of the House Of Delegates,
from each county and delegate district.
One Senator from each Senatorial dis
triCt. ."..
Delegates to the Convention: as many
from each county or delegate district as
the county or district elects members Of
the House Oh Delegates and two from
each Senatorial district, without any re-
striCtion as to what counties Of the dis
trict they shall reside in.
ASuperintendent oflree schools in each
county. |# U..t
In each township; a Supervisor, Clerk,
an Overseer of the Poor, a township
Treasurer, a School Commissioner, two
Inspectors OF Elections, Justice and a
Constable, and an additional Justice and
an additional Constable ifthe white pop.
ulatlon Of the township exceeds 200.
A Surveyor of Roads for each road
precinct. I'IH
As each township In this county has a
population exceeding 1900, each will elect
two justices and two constables. This
county will choose three members of the
House of Delegates. The Senator 10 be
elected must come from Hancock this
time. This county will be entitled to
three delegates in the Convention. This
Senatorial district, comprising Ohio, Han.
cock and Brooke. will be entitled TO two,
which may both come from any one
county of the district, II the people Of the
district choose. AS there are q great
many mute, inglOrious Millions In this
county, languishing for an opportunity to
achieve greatness, we suppose the upper
counties will be willing TO allow us one Of
the Senatorial delegates, giving Ohio four.
These and the three seats in the House
would absorb the bulk Of the youthful
craftsmanship that now floods land we
may add oppresses) the market in this city.

had certificate of deposit on the Central
National Bank, New York, and a small
draft on the Lucas Bank, St. Louis, which
II Is suspected he procured to obtain sig.

recent bank swindles in Indiana and other
places East, and that he designed TO op.
