Tennessee. The President recently remarked
that he had been desirous of making visit
to the South from the time Of his first inaugu
ration, but that Congress having always been
in session in the spring, the opportunity had
not yet been afforded. 1t seems now to be
generally admitted that Congress will finish
up everything necessary in the next two weeks
This being the case and the President moi
being inclined to make any new appoint
ments, except such rs may be necessary by the
occurrence of vacancies, there is nothing now
known to prevent his making his long-deter
red visit. AS has been said, it is expected
that nearly all of the Cabinet will accompany
him.
On the subject of the Presidents contem
plated tour, the Washington Star says:
apparently, the the tour of President
Grant through the southern States will have
a good effect, both in enabling him to see tol
himself the condition of affairs on the ground
and in bringing the representative people OF
the South into a better acquaintance with him
and better knowledge of his sterling, common
sense qualities. We notice that the southern
people, including those who most warmly op'
posed his election and reelection, are prepar'
ing to tender him the courteous hospltalltles
beftting their reputation as hosts and his po'
sition as Chief Magistrate of the nation
The President Informed Of his Reelection.
-On Saturday last, the joint committee
on the part of the two Houses of Congress-
appointed to officially notify the President OF
the result of the counting of the Electoral
Colleges of the several States, called at the
Executive Mansion and discharged that duty,
expressing the hope that during the second
term for which he had been elected, he would
promote the peace, honor and prosperity OF
all the people of the United States, without
respect to sectional or party divisions. In re-
ply, the President said:
II sincerely appreciate this renewed evil
dence of satisfaction with my administration.
When was elected four years ago there was
less regard for party lines. In the last cam
paign political differences and personal hos
tility were clearly defined by the lines of par
ty; but Notwithstanding this, | shall continue
to endeavor to make my administration OF the
Government one which will meet not only the
approval of the great party which elected me,
but as we'll of all the people of the United
States"
Mr.. Wilson, on being informed of his elec-
ton as Vice-President of the United States,
thanked the committee for their congratula-
tions and for their assurances of the goodwill
of both Houses of Congress. He gratefully
accepted the high trust con6ded to him by
the people of the United States, and said he
should strive to discharge the duties of the
position assigned to him with zeal, fidelity
and impartiality. He expressed, too, the
hope that the coming four years would be
consecrated by those entrusted with power to
the peace, unity, and development ofthe coun'
try, and that those in every department ofthe
Government might retire at the close Of their
official careers with the consciousness Of duties
we'll done, and with the approval of their
countrymen.
