The young men of the city turned
out in fine order to-day, especially
those belonging to the military. their
employers having let them enjoy a
holiday, though business was quite
active, owing to the great throng Of
country visitors.
Chief Athy bestrode a magnificent
charger to-day. Captain O'Haver
and Sergeant Hackett reformed ex-
cellent duty at the depot and along
the line of march. Owing to circum-
stances, Esquire Quigley presided
over the police court this morning.
One Of the most unpleasant features
of the days festivities was the clouds
of insuffercable dust that rose in all
directions where crowds gathered or
people moved. We have had no rain
for so long that the dust will not
down even by the free use of sprink-
ling carts.
The telephone business this fore
noon was almost entirely monopolized
by persons making inquiries about
General Grant. The bell at the rail-
way depot was kept on very active
duty until after the party left the
depot, and then the stations about the
city also did lively work.
Wonder if any of those individuals
celebrated for their monumental
cheek will make it assume Bunker
Hill proportions, by wanting to know
of Grant if he has an extra five center
about him? Any way he will be
eagerly watched by all lovers of the
weed, his habit Of sucking cigars
being nationally known.
Brass buttons by the gross we're
issued to the police force this morning.
The minds Of many of them seemed
to be perturbed over the question of
whether they should have new buttons
and old uniforms, or old buttons and
new uniforms,-though they inclined
to the buttons.
Assistant Marshal Louis Daltroff
was prompt in his attendance at the
railway depot at an early hour this
morning, to spread notice of the ap-
proach of General Grant, and to aid
in forming the public procession. He
was among the first to enter the Pull
man car occupied by the general and
his party,
''Whe he looks exactly like Col.
Mike Burke" said at least a dozen
persons, around the railway depot, as
Gen. Grant entered a carriage with
DR.. Porter and started on his drive
to the Peabody. 1t is truly remark
able likeness and many claim each to
be better looking than the other.
| While on the platform in Court
square, previous to the speech making
ceremony, both General and Mrs.
Grant inquired, separately aud unbe-
known to each other, if the structure
was solid. They were assured that it
was strong, and would not give way.
They have had several tumbles in
their travels.
As Gen. Grant rode up Main street
followed by an immense column Of
carriages, omnibuses, street cars and
other wheeled vehicles, the dust OBJ
scured the vision, and but little could
be seen, beyond few dozen feet.
From Beal street up the street
sprinklers had spread a copeous sup.
+ ply of water-works water and the
dust was squelched by it, The same
process aided matters about Court
Square and rendered the situation
much more pleasant.

INCIDENTS, ETC, ETC.

The people Of this city we're astir at
an early hour this morning in antici-
patton of the arrival of Gen. Grant
and his party, the only living ex-Pres-
ident of the American nation and the
honored guests of our city.
Owing to the train over the Miss
issippi Central railroad reaching
Grenada two hours later than was
expected the party did not reach here
until nearly nine o'clock. Long be-
fore that hour Main street was
thronged with citizens and in the
vicinity of Beal street especially the
crowd was very dense. Our colored
brethren predominaded thereabouts
by a large majority. 1t was evident
that a popular ovation would be ex.

undimmed by a cloud during the

The bankers Convention,

Saratoga, Aug. l4.-At the opening of the
bankers convention yesterday the names Of
officers Of the executive council for the ensu.
ing year were announced as follows; Chair.
man, George S. Coe, president of the Amer
lean exchange bank of New York; treasurer,
George f. Baker, president of the first ma.
tional bank of New York; corresponding
secretary, George Marchand, of No. 247
Broadway, New York; secretary, Edmund D
Randolph, president Of the continental ma
tional bank, New York.
The chairman of the executive council
stated to the convention that some solcitude
had been expressed by members of the ssso-
citation as to whether the subject of litiga-
ton OF national and state taxes was receiving
that attention from the executive council
which its importance demands, and that in
reply the committee requested him to say
that they are using all honorable means
to secure reduction of taxes, and
that they regard it as paramount
to any other duty entrusted TO them, and
that they are diligently pursuing it in all
reasonable and proper ways and with hope
of success. A resolution was passed in favor
of the immediate enactment of a national
bankrupt law of such ma
ture as to discourage fraud,
and afford ready and efficient relief to hon
est Debtors and place all creditors where
ever located upon equal footing with uni
formity Of administration throughout the
country, and to secure prompt and equitable
distribution of assets of insolvent states to
the lowest possib!s cost; also to conclude II
judicious system of position, whereby settle
ment may be effected in proper cases upon
terms satisfactory to a majority Of creditors
without delay and expense incidental to full
bankruptcy proceedings. The executive
council was requested to bring this subject
before congress.
Papers were read by George
A Butler OF the committee on spe-
Gle payment and its relations on our g. sat
financial questions. BY Edward Atkinson,
on the industrial growth of the country, and
the causes which have produced it. By
Patterson, of Georgia, on the industrial pro.
gress of the south. They were ordered TO be
printed in the proceedings without reading,
rs also pr PEI by Sidney +. Shelbourne, of
New York, on the financial aspects of the
inter-oceanic canal. A resolutio nwas offered
by the executive council, which was adopted,
asking congress TO stop the coinage of two to
four millions of silver money, as tending 10
derange business, and likely to ultimately re-
suit in the embarrassment of the government
and treasury; the expectation Of gold to for
eign countries, and general financial compli-
cation. Congress is asked to repeal the law
of February %, 1878.

New York, Aug. l4.-Mr. William b.
Watson, superintendent of the American
District telegraph company, at the corner of
Twenty-ninth street and Broadway, posted a
notice in the windows of his office yesterday,
warning the MISCONCEPTIONS who had gone on
astrike that If they did not return to their
work by s O'Clock this morning
their names would be stricken from the roll
and they would never again be
employed by the company. At the
time mentioned this morning the messenger
boys, nineteen in number. returned to tho
office in a body and reported for duty, but il
was evident from their general demeanor
that rebelious spirit prevailed amongst
the body. Soon after nine o'clock, George
Mick.e, aged 10. of No. 34l East Thirty
seventh street, was given message to de-
liver down town, with ten cents for his car
fare. He declared that the coin was not
good and wanted another, when wordy
war ensued between him and Mr.. Watson
Mlckle threatened to beat Watson, when all
the other messengers gathered about ready
for any mischief. Fearing further disturbance,
and that he would again be left alone, MIR
Watson called policeman and caused
Mickle's arrest on the charge of disorderly
conduct. Mickle was taken before Justice
Murray, at the Jefferson Market police court,
and discharged after being severely repri-
manded.
