adelphia Press, was arrested on Thursday

dispatch to the effect that on the occasion
of the Democratic parade at Oxford,

ployed by the Batin ore Central Railway

served in Mississippi regiment, and that

The New York -" demonstration ~ to
welcome General Ora mt on Monday night,
seems to have been queer affair, while
no doubt a splendid spectacle. Accord
ing to one account there were 10000 men
in line and 100000 spectators. The pa
rade was not, however, it would appear,
demonstration in favor of the Republi-
can nominees, Garfield and Arthur, but
of General Grant, who is, or ought to be,
an entirely private person at this time.
The notices on the flags, banners and
Examinations did not celebrate Garfeld's
virtues and accomplishments, but Grants
performances during the civil war. The
bands played Marching Through Geor-
gia a" and other military reminders, and
the notices were quotations from Grants
pithiest speeches, such as Push things"
"No man can afford to be lukewarm,' -
&c. They did not, however, quote Grants
remarks about Hancock, and the New
York World suggests that the Roman
legend, Hail, Caesar, about to die, we
salute thee" was also neglected. Charles
