General Grants Reception I'm Europe.
The reception accorded ex-President
upon his arrival in Europe must be
pleasing to every American citizen. a
| special telegram from London to the
Chicago InterOcean gives the full par
ticulars. and from it we CLEAN the follow
ing: All the metropolitan and principal
newspapers are commenting upon his
arrival as an event of greatinternational
importance, and all important acts of
his life are discussed. His military Ca
reer, commencing with his services in the
Mexican waf, and ending with his sur
render at Appomattox Court House. and
his generosity in dealing with the armies
of the Confederacy is mentioned most
favorably. He is regarded everywhere
as a soldier and statesman. His states
manship, especially in the adjustment of
the difficulties between the United
States and England, growing out of the
Alabama claims, and his honesty in
steadily paying off the national debt
during his administration. is commended
in the highest. terms. i
The steamer Indiana, in which he
made the passage, as she neared Queens
town, was met by steam tug, last Sun-
day, with numerous delegation from
Cork, who greeted him with three en-
thusiastic Irish cheers. The delegation
offered him the hospitalities of Queens
town, remarking that every village and
hamlet in Ireland had resOunded with
the praises of his name, and would well
com him with all the warmth and cam
dor characteristics of the Irish people.
The Indiana reached Liverpool at 2:3O
P. NJ, gaily dressed all over with flags
InhOnOr Of the arrival of the distin-
guished American. all the shipping in
the Liverpool docks exhibited a profllse
display of bunting, the flags of all nations
waving along the seven miles of water
front, presenting magnificent display.
The dignitaries of the city. and its citi:
zens by thousands, extended to him and
his party such honors as are rarely paid
to foreigners of less rank than kings.
As the party stepped onto the wharf q
Gordon OF police formed around them and
the Mayor and the councjlmen. as the
thousands of people had began to crush
and crowd in their eagerness to get .
sight of the visitors. Now the cheering
from the crowd on shore was taken up
by the passengers on the Indiana, who
thus bade adieu to their fellow passenger.
A thousand hats were raised as the May
or slowly advanced to meet the EXPIRES
ident, reading as he moved forward. ac-
cOrding TO the old English custom when
greeting noted guess, an address of form
al welcome, repeating the deep interest
the citizens of Liverpool felt in having
him among them as an illustrious states
man and soldier, and asking him to ac-
cept the hospitalties which were extend
ed in the name of the great commercial
city he presented.
After the clamor ceased, Gen. Grant re-
piled briefly. saying he experienced ex-
treme pleasure i'll accepting the kind
invitation extended, laying particular
stress on this, that he felt they had ex-
pressed the cordial feeling of England
toward Linn as q .citizen of the United
States.
| General Grant wore civilians attire,
much to the disappointment of vast
crowd who expected to see him arrayed
in the full uniform of the army. After
