The Presidents TOHr-Specch
ut W:ptcrtOWn.

UTICA, Aug. 2.-Presldent Grant
left Utica to-day by special train via
the Black Biver Railroad. He was
escorted to the depot amid great en-
thusiasm by veterans and Fire
Zouaves. The President arrived at
Watertown at 2.30. An immense
concourse Of people, estimated at l2,-
600, gathered to see him.
He was welcomed by the mayor
and common council, to whom he
said at gives me sincere pleasure to
visit the county OF Jefferson. Many
years ago, when a young man, | was
stationed here, and then the localities
and persons were familiar to me
Coming back, after a long absence, |
am glad of the privilege to look for
faces | knew, and to see again places
associated with many pleasant recol-
! lections.
Il beg you, Mr.. Mayor and gentle
men, to accept for yourselves and fel-
low -citizens my grateful acknowledge
ments for your cordial assurances Of
welcome. '
The President being called on the
balcony of the hotel, in response to
cheers said:
Senator Conkling, after loud and
repeated calls, said; In these offers Of
hos pitality politics have played no
part. l am glad to llear you cheer
this announcement, because you DO
Justice to generosity in political oppo-
nents. Not only in Jefferson, but in
Oneida county, democrats have We'd
with the republicans in doing honor
to the chief magistrate Of the repub-
lie"
1T is noticeable that in the heat Of
an exciting campaign the partisan has
sunk in the patriot. | am glad to
attest my own personal Obligations
to democrats for their graceful and
courteous acts.
: The President proceeded from Wa
tertown to Sacketts $ Harbor, and
thence to Pullman s Island, where he
! meets General Sheridan. He will re-
! turn to Washington next Friday.
/ "LaleS and gentlemen of Jefferson
county, ! beg you to accept my heart
! felt thanks for this warm reception.
1t is twenty Years since | was last IN
! Watcrtown. Then all faces We're Ia-
miliar, and most OF Your citizens We're
my acquaintance. But twenty years
( is u long time, and now look around
me- see but few who were known to
me then. | assure you, ho"crcr, OF
the qualification feel in returning
here once more and meeting YOU as
neiyhbors and fellow-citizens.
Again, I have long wanted to re-
turn to Jefferson county, and al
though my stay must be brief, my
best wishes will abide with You all,
and the memory of this beautiful re-
gion will abide with me.

unanimous the opinion that her story was
true in all respects. The oldest inhabi
tants of Louisville now declare their be-
lief that she was indeed the daughter of
Portuguese woman; that she was alto
gether gifted with splendid virtues, and
was the Innocent victim of the strategy
of her parents; and was of course, as much
entitled to the rights of free woman as
any who walks Fourth street to-day. Her
fathers and mothers sudden death was
the cause of all her woes; even her osten-
sible owner was ignorant of her true his
tory. How terribly, in this instance, were
the sins of the parents visited upon the
child!
Poor, heart broken woman! A little
grave in the Western Cemetary of this
city has set upon her lips the seal of
everlasting silence, and it is meet, now
that time, which sooner or later works its
revenges and grants that justice which
was withheld, that the true story of her
life should be written-that the cloud
which enshrouded her fair name should
be swept aside-and that her son, if he
is living to-day, may rest no longer under
the false imputatlon of having been born
a slave.
Soon after the death of Philip Slaughter,
his relatives sent the boy referrel to
above, to Hawesville, in this State, to be
raised by man named Lnckett, or Lucky,
under an assumed name, and since that
time nothing has been known Of his fate,
unless to the relatives Of Mr.. Slaughter,
several of whom are still living.

Some thirty years ago, or more,
A noted firm existed;
It dealt in politics alone,
And seldom was resisted,
That is, successfully, you KNOW
It's style was Seward, Weed q 90.
But one dark day the Co. got mad,
And urged dissolution
He claimed when balance sheets were
struck
An unfair distribution
Ofnet results was made, and he
Swore that would never suit IL. q.
And so the Arm dissolved the two
Kept working on together,
And by good faith and rectitude
Enjoyed sun-shiny weather.
The one controlling ship of state,
The other acting as his mate.
The disconnected Co. began
To run his own machine
And truth permits us here to say
He kept his record clean
For years, and years, until Fl. G.
Was re-baptised "Old Honesty ~
But growing old, ambition got
A foothold in his head;
And then tue old philosopher
Undid all he had said -
The mask fell from his bloodless face
Exposing kaaUe instead of ace
The senior member of the firm
Now sleeps within the grave,
Mourned by the sorrow OF the laud
He did so much to save;
The other-Thurlow Weed-holds fast
To all the glories of the past.
But where's the CO.-hobnobbinS with
The men he used to fight
With smashing powder, till his eyes
Beheld marvellous light"
'"bc White House, minus 0eto poaOer,
Washed out lifetime in an hour?

In "loveliest vale OF all,

And glories IN his fall?

New Post OnIce Regulations.

DECREASE OF POSTAL cHARGEs-THE PENNY CARDS
The Lew postal bill which became law just
before the session OF Congress closed, makes
some changes in existing postal regulations
which are OF general interest. The most i'm
portant is the authorization of one-cent postal
cards for correspondence or for printed circu-
ars similar to those which were introduced in
Great Britain nearly two years ago and are now
in use in nearly all European countries. The
House provided in the bill for a paper flap to
cover and conceal the writing. The Senate
changed this to ali open card. In conference
committee the style of the crrd was left to the
discretion of the Postmaster General, who pre-
fers the open card and will order that kind
only to be manufactured. The face of the card
viii bear one-cent stamp, and will be provided
with line for the address, and the back will be
ruled for the letter. The price of the card and
stamp will be only one cent. 1t will probably be
three or four weeks before they will be ready
FOR sale, az the plates for printing have yet to be-
prepared The postage on circulars newspapers
aud other transient printed matter, which under
the old law was two cents for every four ounces
or less, is now one cent for every two ounces OF
less. Small circulars which formerly cost two
cents to mail can now be sent for one cent, an
important reduction to business men who use
the mails largely to advertise their business
The change is now in force, the law being imme
date in its effects.

Saturday Afternoon, June 10.


The 4th Of July---HoW 10 IL 10 bef
The Fourth Of July is not far off-in fact it Is
so near that it is quite time to inquire Of our
authorities whether they do not propose to pro-
hibit, on that day, the excessive explosion OF
gunpowder, within the compactly-built portions
Of the city. The noise in the past two or three
years, has grown to be a hideous nuisance, not
only to sick people, who endure tortures that
must seriously curtAil their chances Of recovery,
but even to those who are comparatively well.
Tho observance Of the day is real pandemon-
Jun of deafening, ear-splitting, soul-racking
noises, without anything in them that is beautl-
ful, or appropriate.
Besides the noise, there are other grave OBJ
Ieotions to this unlimited shooting. These are
danger from fires, and personal injury by acci-
dents. The property Of persons not engaged IN
the amusement" is liable to be destroyed, and
the limbs and eyes of all who have occasion to
20 into the streets are to great extent jeopar-
diced. As to the danger of fire, it is not to be
forgotten that on tho Fourth Of July, few years
ago, the whole of the business portion OF Port
land was destroyed by a fire originating in this
very way. In all the larger cities, it is now the
strict police rule to forbid and prevent all explo-
sons OF squibs, crackers, ETC., in the streets
and the nuisance and the danger have been re-
moved.
In calling the attention of our own authorities
TO the matter, we do it in behalf OF the public
good, and of the peace and comfort of thousands
Of people, whose homes are rendered Almosi
intolerable on the Patriotic Anniversary, by thii
excessive and unreasonable burning of gunpow'
der. Quiet people, the sick, the owners Of pro
perty, and the public generally, need protection

A MaryInnder on the Rampage.

This morning about nine o'clock tall wild
looking man was noticed walking about the low
or rooms OF the Executive Mansion, and Officer
hearney, regarding him az a suspicious charac-
ter, Questioned him. He stated that his name
county Nd, and demanded to see the President.
Being told that President Grant was absent from
the city, he demanded that he should be tele-
graphed for at once, as he (JOnes) had whipped
the world and could not rest satisfied until he
had whipped the President, who ought to be
ousted and the Pope of Rome have his place.
Othcer Kearney took the worlds champion into
custody and started with him to police head
quarters. After proceeding quietly for some
distance the prisoner suddenly turned on the
oificer and attempted to break away, tearing
his coat in the effort. Officers Dunval and Shell
ton came to the rescue, and the prisoner was
safely taken to headquarters and locked up, q
large crowd following him to the door, WASH

HIS LOSS UNINSURED $4,000.
Frederick Douglass writes from Rochester to
his paper the Nt7c National Era, that his loss
by the burning of his house and barn, was from
"a. 900 to $4,000 over the insurance. The fire
commenced in the barn, and was no doubt the
work Of an incendiary. He had 81 900. in gov p
eminent securities which were all destroyed,
but we understand him to state that they were
registered and 30 can be replaced.

The World desires to defeat Mr.. Greeley's

eists ON maintaining the twO-thirds rule; but
the World does not desire that the Democratic
party should be cleft in twain by Mr. Greeley
strange candidacy, aud it believes that the in

ruR CONSEQUENCE OF GREELEYs NOMINATION.
From the N. Y. Tlmesl
Next year MIR Greeley will find 1t as easy to
unsay all that he is now saying as he at present
finds it to deny the preaching OF lifetime.
With his nomination at Baltimore, we shall have
the old plain issue before us-Demoeracy OF
Republicanism? Although renegade from our
own ranks will head the Democracy, that Will
net save them-indeed it will render their de-
feat all the more certain, because the people dO
not like renegades. We hope, then, that the
present omens may continue. The Democrats
have lost what little sense they ever had, and
are eagerly counting their final extinction. They
will not be disappointed.
