CINCINNATI, Sept. 23rd.-Presi-
dent Grant reached Covington at
1 o'clock this evening from Brown
county, and proceeded at once to
his fathers residence, and later in
the evening to the residence of
Amos Shinkel. A procession con-
sisting of the police force of Gov
ington and Newport, a detachment
from the Newport barracks, the
Mayor of Covington, a committees
of arrangements and citizens
marched this evening.
A formal address of welcome was
made by Mayor Baker, of Coying-
ton, to which the President replied
returning thanks for the greeting,
and assuring them he was gratifed
that it was not an ovation shown
the Executive by single political
party. He said it would be his OBJ
iect, so long as he held office, he
wanted to be regarded as the Pres
ident of the whole people; that
there was no reason why the party
in the minority should not receive
the same protection and enjoy the
same privileges as the party in
power. After again returning
thanks for the reception he retired
to the interior, where he received
calls from several hundred per-
sons

Wonderful PhenOmenOn-Is it a
Hoax?

New York, Sept 18th, 187I-The
following extraordinary despatch
has been received here from Savan-
nah, Georgia: A startling phe-
nomenon has just occurred in Flori-
da. A large portion of Orange
County has been changed to lake,
and trees, houses and people ingul-
fed. There were many witnesses
of the phenomenon They say the
first thing that attracted their at
tention was trees moving first in
giratory motion, some sinking grad
ually out of sight, the tops reced
ing more and more rapidly as they
sank and disappeared, others fol
lowing, and, as they fell, revolving
and describing areas of a circle
against the sky: then the whole
earth, as far as the eve could reach
sinking and its place supplied by
sea of water, rushing seething, boil
ing, with a noise as of mighty
cataracts, and ever and anon cas-
ting to the surface roots and tops
of bodies ofmighty pines and oaks.
The country in every direction is
entirly submerged, and is now one
vast lake, 1t is rumored that the
town of Orlando is intirely swat
lowed up, and the whole chain of
lakes from Apaka To lake Conway
are now united and form an i'm
mense inland sea. The people are
flying, terror stricken, from the
tao,.e of tlizaetar

Something New Under the Sum-"
Soma satfIars In Southern Kansas

Something New Under the Sun"
Some settlers in Southern Kansas
at a meeting held at Baxter Springs,
a few days ago passed series of
resolutions embodying something
new under the sun. They want a
new constitution for their State and
to prevent land monopoly, they ia
vor a passage of an act to forbid
the sale Of land to persons already
owners of a sufficiency, and to linn
it the amount that persons not
owners may acquire by purchase or
decent to a hundred and sixty
acres. AS a national measure, they
demand the revocat: n ofalI grants
of lands to the railroads, except so
much as may be necessary to the
working Of the roads, and the pas
sage of an act Of Congress that viii
secure to actual Iandless settlers
upon public lands one quarter sec
ton each free of cost, with a vested
right from the date of settlement.
They demand a repeal Of the ma
tional banking law, and believing
that money should be coined out of
the cheapest material, they demand
that the government shall make it
of paper, issue it directly to the
people, and make it legal tender
for ali debts, public or private, to
the end that there shall be but one
kind of money for rich and poor
alike. They favor the immediate
payment Of the public debt, accor-
ding to the terms of the contract, a
strict revenue tariff. opposed to the
so-ealled protection theory, and
henounce the pretence of en-
Forcing the fourteenth amendment
to clothe the President with the
power of setting aside the sacred
right of self-government, and using
the armed heels of his troops to Sc
cure his reelection.

Of General Grant, we have but to

and lower socially, because in pri-

expressed himself on the floor of
the Senate Still he could not dis
guise the fact that there had been
outrages in the South that provoked
the law. He hoped q better order
OF affairs would prevail and that
- Ku Klux organization and the
.,t., ,hnry Of It's deeds would be a
tlsiugof the past. The reconstruc-
iion acts were considered Cypress
ivc, bat we must place ourselves in
the attitude of Congress to do JUS
tee To Northern sentiment when
it demanded their passage. He APP
pealed to Southern candor and hon
or to say whether Southern senti-
ment would have demanded less if
the South had been victorious over
the North and had the power to
dictate terms. 1t was a mistake
however that Northern sentiment
was hostile to the South. The re-
verse was true. Sentiment there
had been prejudiced, it is true, by
noisy demagogues of the extreme
Radical stamp, but it was now and
had always been susceptible to fra
ternaI overtures from the South and
was ready to hail them with love
and affection. Senator Schurz then
made stirring appeal to the young
men of the South, calling upon
| them tofulfill the high mission set
before them, yiz.-that of develop
| ing our great resources and devel-
oping their section by hard work
and patriotic industry. He ignor-
ed the right of any party to impose
duties upon its adherents that con
flicted with love of country and
patriotic measures. Let all the
conservative masses of the country
cooperate for the good of the
country, and in fulfilling this great
work efface old political lines, and
prescribe no man whether he has
been Democrat or Republican, IN
ion or Confederate, Conservative or
Radical, if he has noag at heart the
| good of the entire people and de
sires to maintain the integrity of

GENrLEMEN:-I have received
your letter, and without affectation
may say that I cannot find words
strong enough to describe the joy
it has given me. The spontaneous
expression of such sentiments as
your letter contains, coming from
you as late soldiers of the Confed-
crate army, may well be called an
event of great significance in the
his DRY of our days. When your
former comrades, as you do now,
rally once more around the flag of
the American republic as the sym
Dol Of universal freedom, equal
rights and constitutional govern
ment; when they declare that they
will turn their backs upon all par
ties cropping in the moonlight of
the past and discouatcnance that
partisan spirit which is so apt to
obscure human reason and to blast
the best moral impulses of the hui
man heart; when they once more
fully recognise the identity Of their
true interests with those of our
great common country, then every
patriotic citizen will feel that the
regeneration of the South is GER
tain to be accomplished by her own
people.
If there is still lurking here and
there a spirit which keeps alive feel
ings Of animosity and distrust, and
which, by meaRsatesocial proscrip-
tion or intimidfAftih or violence
strives to impede the development
of free public opinion, you can rem
der it harmless by your influence
and example.
If there are still disturbances of
the peace and order of society oc-
curing, calculated to produce the
impression that the security and
the rightJ Of citizens can be sufll-
GENTLY protected only by the inter
ference of the General Government
/ in your local concerns, you can dis
pei that impression by deyoting
your energies to the enforcement
of the laws, thus proving the capa-
/ city of local self-government to ac-
complish its legitimate end here as
well as elsewhere.
II there is still an apprehension
as to- secret design to subYert the
logical and Legitimate results OF the
war by reactionary movements, You
viii remove that apprehension by
demonstrating that the young South
has risen above old prejudices and
/ obsolete aspirations, and is deter
mined to build up again the pros
perity and power of these States on
q basis in harmony with the pro-
/ gressive spirit of the age. Men Of
1 courage and convictions like you
viii do nothing by halves; they
T viii not look back when they have
4 put their hands to the pillow, and
assure you your efforts will have
! the sincerest appreciation, hearty
applause and energetic support 81
