The President at Lynehburg.

GastLts mGkeS mention Of an undsrtonC
Of chilliness and unirispdship on the par
cirOms Of the rich and influential peOpl,
Iot LyDchburE towards the President
They stood alOOl like The old Pharisees
and threw cold water on the reception
Iot these Pharisees Gen. JubIl Early wal
the chief.
A special to the Cincinnati Eaqaire,
says that the German given to The
ladies' Of the Presidential party "was very
sparely attended by The young ladies' Of
the town, aud it would have been fat
failure but for the presshce Of member
Of the military companies who took part
in the procession"
The same special makes the following
further note in regard to the feeling at
Lynrhburg:
Notwithstanding the enthusiastic re.
cePtion given the President here, there is
u strong nndercurrent Of opposition 10
the giving OF any social honor to him for
what he has done for the South, on the
ground that he did il from necessity, and
not from choice, and that he was now
using 1t IA a means 10 disrupt the Demo.
cratic party. The opposition is led BY
General JubRl Early, Captain Whitehead
and Msjor Daniel, and Is backed by the
richest and most influential people Of the
city. 10 fact, the opposition here is
greater and more outspOken than in any
other place that the Presidenthas visited
during the present trip. In an article
that will be published in the local paper
tomorrow, General Early thus states his
position
