The Grant Reception In Chicago.

The reception Of Gen. Grant in Glhiea-
go yesterday, was doubtless one Of the
most enthusiastic and grandest tlak
ever occurred on this sideSof, tae Attain
tic. AT the time Of going to press
the details of the affair have not reached
US, but the daily papers Of yesterday
contained accounts OF tremendous prepa-
.ratlons. A Pioneer Press Telegram from:
Chicago contains the following . .z$ y
# Excursion trains arc coming from all parts
of the Northwest, and the probabilities are;
that the hotels, though they have nearly Ill
doubled thei. ordinary accommodations by
the Introduction of new beds, not to mention
cots, will be literally over-run. Ths banks,
the board of trade, public offices ma most of
the places of business will be closed, and this
win turn out mn immense concourse. Large
prices, as high as SO, have already been Offer cd
for the use Of single windows which afford d
favorable outlook for watching the parade,
and roofs Of uiidings, telegraph poles: signs,
and every availa BILE inch that can hold the toe
of a foot Or afford an edge for clinging fingers,
tits probable will be5called intotrequisition as
places for spectators. The decorations at
8Aaih Lp", "AclS OSuSFdE utAuGftSt 10 btI6nL
from the train win, when they are completed,
be very: beautiful and quite imposing On
each side of Che court leading toward Mfcli4
gan avenue will be row Of poles at intervals
of about twenty feet. These will be connected
by festoons of evergreens and flowers, and
each pole will support at its top bright col
ored shield bearing q motto, and will be
drapped with bunting artisticalfy arranged on
two lines of poles, thus making, as win he
seen, gorgeous alleyway of red, white and
blue, relieved with festival evergreens and
flowers, through which the distinguished cor
tage will move. At the entrance Of this alley
way, will be a sort Of arch, formed by drap-
ing from appropriate hangings above two
large garrison flags between the two first
poles. one on either side Of the street, and one
on the corner of this entrance, where will
stand the figure of soldier holding forth
wreath, as if to crown the conquerug hero
while on the other sailor will essay like
service of respect on behalf Of the true men Of
the United States navy. Each Of the poles
forming the sides of the arch will bear at its
summit a graceful c1uster-of f1ags and will he
envl.c..u IuWn u the ground with RED, white
and blue bunting and evergreens. The deco
rations in and out Of the Palmer House are
very beautiful and rapidly nearing compile
ton. The society will hold its meetings n
the club rooms. These have been decorated
with evergreen festoons set with many arti-
fetal flowers, shields and red, white and blue
are placed at even spaces round the hall
They bear the names Of prominent gen erals
and battles.

Imitation.

There has been for several months, and
still continues to be, steady imitation of
the currency. The national bank circus
lation han increased S14, 600, 600 since the
first Of last January, and the increase Of
metallic money during that time, by inn
ports and home coinage, is estimated at
about S8e, 900, 900. There has thus been
an increase of the volume of currency OF
,Sl00, 0,O00. 900 IN little over ten months.
The increase of national bank circulation
has been very great during the past three
months and amounted to ST ,500. 900 dur>s
ing September and October. Although
the national banking system seems to be
regarded By 8 majority Of the American
people. as the proper and right sy ystem for
the issue of paper money, we are Of the
opinion that its evils will fully appeant TO

THE WEEKLY DISPATCH.

AS the great Presidential campaign of 1880
approAches-a campaign which is to decide
the political destiny Of the Republic for dec
AIDES, if not for centuries. to come, a sense Of
the Importance of the struggle begins to in
press itself upon the minds Of all patriotic
citizens. The menacing dangers to popular
government and the rigbts cfhumanity, which
have been vividly brought to Dotice by the
present ascendency Of the Copfedero Demo
cratic party in the legislative branch Of the
government, have admonished Republicans of
the supreme necessity Of preventing the con-
summation of the gigantic conspiracy against
Liberty, which aims at untranmeled control
Of the other branches. A party spirit has been
thereby aroused, which is destined to make
next years struggle for the Presidency the
most eventtul, the most memorable, perhaps
the most bitter on record. During that com
ing struggle
