Quet this evening. Samuel ID. Bah
cock, Chairman OF the Chamber, pre-
sided. ON his right sat President
Hayes, Secretaries Evarts aud Schurz
and ex. Governor Hoffman, and on his
left General Sherman, Major Ely
and General Hancock. Covers were
laid for nearly 300 and the company
included the representative men OF the
city. After the cloth was removed
the speeches began. President Bah
cock in his speech said at no previous
period in the history of the last ~
years had business been more de-
pressed and unsatisfactory than at the
present time. While the civil war
resulted in releasing from bond
age 4,O0O,0OO human beings it inflicted
upon us q system of financial meas
ures which has put under bonds forty
millions of people; and with the I'M
sound and extravagant management
of public affairs and private interests
which our indebtedness has caused, is
it strange that our commerce ard u
great industrial interests are crippled
and languishing? If We fully realize
these evils we can not fail to see that
no permanent relief can be found until
such IA remain of the monstrous and
wild speculations of the past have
reached their inevitable conclu-
sion, and until upon the safe and sound
foundation of frugality and thrift our
national elements of recuperation and
growth nay expand into a sure and
healthy progress. MIR. Babcock thon

never had the pleasure of having re-
sponded to by an incumbent of the

of the United States. Loud cheers.]

The State of New York was re-

the absence of Governor Robinson,
and our merchant marine brought to
his feet Secretary Evarts. He said:
Why such q nation az this should
have to lament The decay of its com
MERGE may we'll set us thinking.
Why a nation SO strong in the warlike
power Of its people, so rich in the
wealth of its fertile fields, so rich in
skill and invention, SO fertile in re
sources, why such a nation as this
should find its flag desert the sea,
should find much thought and solicit
tude. He reviewed the civil war and
the cruel blows struck at our interests,
and said peace then came, aud then
the wild predominance Of political
schemes to accomplish peace aud
harmony at home, and now hat
is ended and there is q greater unit
and purpose ana reverence Tor the great
Constitution which has survived all
its perils, and the nation which is CON-
tent from one end to the other.

after the war, when / thought we were
safe for the rest of our days, we find
ourselves left out Ia the cold, without
pay or rations or anything, neglected
slighted, hurt in feeling, but not In
courage. Destroy your army and
| your Government aud you are = mob.
[Cheers1. The Government can not
! suhsist without al army, and that
must be . good one too. lCheers]
