more than ordinary significance. As a mark Of
respect to distinguished citizen 1t was highly
complimentary; "a nm index OF the popular
strength of the Liberal candidate for the Presl-
dcncy IL was everything that the most ardent
friend Of the old Muodchopper could desire.
From the moment of his arrival early yesterday
morning un,il his departure this morning, his
visit had been a constant ovation. the spontanc-
Gus, hearty, AMI substantial character Of which
IL admitted by portion of the Boston press,
and very awkwardly doubted by those In polti-
cal antagonism to him. The Administration or
gans are venting their spleen at the successful
nature Of the event by il-mannered criticisms
Of the Reception Committee and ill-natured
charges of deception that have no foundation
In fact.
GRTELEY's POPULARITY IN BOSTON.
The truth Is Greeley Is popular at the Hub "a
he is everywhere, and no well arranged pro-
grammc Of party leaders is required to draw
out the enthusiastic applause Of the masses for
him. This is what makes tho Grant papers
mad. The public contrast the recent visit Of
the President, his boorlsh manners and un-
civil treatment OF those who wero laborlng so
earnestly to stir up sentiment In his favor,
with Grceley's modest deportment, courteous
manners. and evident satisfaction with whatever
was done for him, aud the undeniable outburst
OF popular enthusiasm his presence excited, and
the result Is maniiestly favorable to the next
rather than to the present President. The Com
mttce Of Reception were indcfatlgable In their
efforts To render his stay agreeable, and nothing
was left undOne that genuine civility could die
tate to please him. At the Revere House he
was made IA much at home IA he could possibly
be at his own house; Every want was anticipat,
ed, every luxury ard convenience provided, and
all In the most quiet and unostcitatlous man
ncr, with most acceptable dcfercncct to Mr.. Gree
ey's wel-known modcsty and unassuming
habits.
Nothing more was done for him and nothing
less than Tor Gen. Grant. yet the latter insulted
his entertainers. afrrontcd those who sought to
cater to his pleasure, and left in a pet because
more had not been done for him, and none were
sorry to see him depart. Throughout all his
visit there was not one genuine outburst OF pop
ular applause given him. As n stole he came,
e. st2ic he wen, away ana tne people returned iS
masses at once fell In love. They tossed their
hats for him; they cheered him at every turn,
they crowded about him In dense masses eager
to grasp hi honest hand, and in every conceiva-
bic manner sought to convince him that he was
their favoritc. Could the readers of IHE ,sUs
have seen the pretty girls Of New England
swarming about him and plcadlnglv extending
their albums by scores and hun0red for his
caballstic autograph, and smiling their thanks
IA only New England dnmsels can smile, they
would not longer entertain the slightest doubt
Of his hold upon the masses of all classes; for ~
10 og6.
Probably the most significant event Of this
Greeley by the German Emperurs cornet quar-
tct. As surprise IL was perfect success.
That II was the spontaneous Offering Of respect
Of the Germans IL disputed 10y no one. At their
own suggestion they requested the privilege of
giving the sercnndc and also obtained the sane
tion OF the Jubilee Committee, without whose
consent they could not play outside the coliSe-
um. such a demonstration was not necessary
TO illustrate tho devotion OF the French, Irish,
or English To Greeley; but "a political leaders
In this country have attempted to ALLEVIATE the
German heart from him, this voluntary tribute,
coming directly from Fatherland, will be moro
potential than the combined efforts Of all the
schcmng politicians In the country. The Ger
mans at home are not igngirant oi NJ Greeitey
brethren in America certainly are as well in
formed and no less grateful.
GOOD TIpINGs FROM MAINE.
This morning Mr. Greeley rose at o'clock to
prepare for his homcward journey, which was
to commence at half-past :. lie was scarcely
ont u his bed when he received the card OF 81
Governor " Maine, who was himself received
few minutes later, and remained for an hour In
ward he hreakfastci with Mr. Greeiey and his
party He eXpros >ed the most sangulnc eNpec-
tations of carrying the state Of Maine next fall
for the Liberal cause, and gave facts and figures
tol show the soundnc-s OF his Impressions. He
pronounced the strcnsth of the Greeley move
and as sure to divide the Republican party into
equal parts. With the Democrats, he said, there
was perfect unanlmity for honest Horace, and
no doubts were entertained that he would carry
the state by handsome majority.
MIR. GREELEY's ROOMS BEsIEGED.

Another OVATION.
Early ~ was the hour OF departure from Bos-
ton tn, morning, the streets on tho route 20 the
depot were hlod with people, who testified their
from the hotel TO the cars. lie was escorted to
the depot by the fun committee, who seemed To
part from him with rs much regret as did the
masses of the people. In the cars the phJloso-
pher wasLagain objected to n vigorous hand
shaking that lasted until the train moved away
The ladies in the car then took their turn, and
pressing forward with cards, fans, scraps Of pa
per, and other substitutes for albums, begged
for his autograph, which the philosopher cheer
fully gave to all comers, smiling silly IA he
watched their curious efforts to Interpret the
odd characters he made.
oN THE ROAD TO NEWPORT.
The morning was fearfuy hot and the road
frightfully dusty, thus combining to make the
trip to Newport about as dsagreeable as Il
could well be, but the next President stood II
manfuly, occasionally dropping OF into a dOze,
and then waking to receive the cheers of some
little knots at the way stations as the train
sped past, or indulging In pleasant anecdotes
with those who sat near him. He reached New
port at ll% O'Clock, and was received I'm a quiet
manner at the depot by Col. Geo. T.. Waring, Jr.,
of baltimore, who took Mr.. Greeley In his pri-
vate carriage, and drove him directly TO his re-
sidcnCe.
A MEETING WITH CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.
Judge Chase arrived here from Boston yester-
day, and IL the guest Of cX-GuV. Lawrence, a
prominent Democrat. GOV. Hoffman Of New
York Is also here, stoppinglat the Ocean House.
Hoffman was Invited to meet Judge Chase at
dinner At GOV. Lawrcnce's last night. Whether
now be ascertained, Tho company remained
until a late hour discussing the political sltua-
tion, and especially Mr.. Greeleys position and
prospects. 1t has been known to me for several
days that an appointment was pending for a
meeting in this city to-day between Greeley and
Chase. Mr., Greeley has remained hidden from
public view all day to-day in the keeping OF Col.
Warlng, who Is represented as an old personal
friend, | have asCcrtained this evening that
after his arrival al noon to-day, Mr.. Greeley was
driven out 10y Col. Waring and remained absent
until o'clock this afternoon, when they re-
turned to Col. Warnings house To dinner.
After dinner they again drove out and were
absent until nearly : O'Clock. Whether dur
ing either or both OF these absences Mr. Greeley
met Judge Chase, am unable To say
The movements made here 10y all these pOllt-
clans are very secret and mysterious. The I'M
Preston prevails among knowing ones that
Judge Chase Is acting as a go-bctween for both
MIR. Greeley and the Democratic ma.snutCs of the
country, and that In the conferences here of
yesterday and to-day certain understandings are
being arranged preliminary to the assembling of
the Democratic National Convention next week,
but all this IL purely COnjeCtural. Mr.. Greeley
