FESTIVITIES ON TIE SrgaaH SYLVESTER.
On Saturday afternoon aboutA hundred mer-
| ctalts, professional men, ana other citizens.
visited, by special invitation. the splendid
steamer John Sylvester. th1n lying at her
wharf in Rockets. They were welcomed
ON board BY the urbane and Eficient general
agent Of the james River Steamboat Com
panv, Mr. L. B. Tatum, and by Captain John
A. Post, who Is in command of the steamer
during the illness of Captain Clifford. When
the party was made up many were surprised
to find the steamer weighing sachor. and soon
she was speeding down James river at the
rate Of sixteen miles an hour. Not long after
leaving the wharf the gong was sounded and
the eXcursionists were invited TO the dining
table instead of to the captains Office to set
tie their accounts. Here an elegant cola
ton was spread, including delicacies OF
sea, land, and water, besides tempting
array of bottles, which did not long remain
corked. OF what was said and done, it Is
only necessary to say that all present aban-
doned themselves to conyigiality, and an
hour was most agreably whiled away.
Ioasts were drunk ad hbitain, and in re-
spouse thereto speeches were made by Mayor
Kelley, Captain Post, Colonel Thomas Fl.
Wynne, Mr. Tatum, j. III. Montague, DIR.
Leigh Burton, K. E. Blankiaship, Colonel
John A. Sloan, James P. Cowardin, P. j.
Wright, Charles wv Wiliiaus, and others.
In the mean time the steamer was
turned about after run of ten OF twelve
miles, and by 10 clock she was again at her
wharf OF course the exeurswnists were loud
in their praises Of the Sylvester and her offi-
GERS. The steamer has recently been over
hauled, repaired, and refitted, at great ex-
pense, and is now one of the fastest and most
elegant boats ever seen in this port.

From the Springfield Mass Republican.
That the great body of the Democratic
party. North and South, East and West, are
"ctdy to arquirscc in Mr.. Greeley's nomina.
ton and support it at the polls seems very
evident. That a respectable minority will
reject it., and most likely vote for Grant in
preference, is ais probable. and, to olii
view. very desirable. The reform movement
in politics would lose large portion of its
value if il did not, in more OF less degree,
divide all present parties and all present
classes Of our voters. We welcome, there
fore, Mr.. Voorhees, demonstration against
Greeley and his preference for Grant. 1t is
one of the hcalthieSt signs Of this revolu-
tionary Year. 1t is of more consequence
that the Democratic party should go to pieces,
and leave no sign OF It's old power, no token
of its continued existence, than that MIR.
Greeley should be elected President. Gene.
raj Grant deserves good many more OF the
votes OF the old Democratic party than he
will get. But for every one that he does
get he will lose two Republican votes. The
more extensive the change the healthier will
bc the results of the campaign, the more
thoroughly will be buried the issues the
preiudices. and passions of the past.

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The House was in
session until O'Clock this morning over a
call of the House upon trifing claim from
Missouri, and then adjourned until Monday.
The Senate had twelve hours: executive
session overthe treaty. The probability still
seems that it will fail. 1t is regarded as a
political measure, and that Grant falls with
the treaty. Every machinery of the Govern
ment Is brought to bear to secure the adop-
tion of the supplemental article.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-There was no ses-
sion of the House to-day.
The Senate rejected the bill dividing
Louisiana into two judicial districts.
The entire day was occupied in executive
session over the Washington treaty. An
amendment to the supplemental treaty was
adopted by a large majority. The details are
unknown, but the result appears to be an
Administration defeat.
Later.-The Senate, after nine hours
executive session, advised the President to
negotiate the supplemental treaty substan-
italy as demanded by England. The yerbi-
age is somewhat changed from that submit
ted by the President.
