received with expressions OF pleasure.
A bouquet which they had for the Prin-
cess they sent to her room.
After the ceremonies the citizens present
were presented TO Ills Excellency. He and
Colonel De Winton, Colonel Tourtelotfe,
and DR.. Burnet stood and talked with the
Mayor and his party for about fifteen min
utes; and then the officials and committee
men, expressing their good wishes for the
happiness Of the Marquis and Princess, re-
tired.
The Marquis wore q short coat Of heavy
goods, with fur collar, and pantaloons Of
regulation tightness.
HIS COACH OUT OF ORDER.
One OF the two railroad coaches In which
the Marquis ana Princess and party have
travelled ever since they LEFT Canada was
found on its trip hither TO need some re-
pairing in the way Of plumbing and tin
ming, and Yesterday wOrkmen were put
upon It. They viii have il in first-rate
order for the trip to Charleston, and 1t will
leave here travelling along behind or as q
part OF the fast mail.
Mr.. Emerson or Mr.. Charles w. Har-
wood, soliciting freight and passenger
agent of the Associated Railways OF Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas, viii probably have
charge OF the transportation all the way to
Charleston, as Mr.. Ernst did on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road from Louisville. BY
the way, Colonel De Winton said yester-
day that all the party feel under obligations
to Mr.. Ernst for his careful and courteous
regard for their comfort and welfare on the
| trip to this place.
THE SHERMAN LETTER.
A gentleman of the party who is in posi-
tion to know says that the surmise that the
letter from the Marquis to General Sher-
man asking IL il was safe" for his wife
to 60 TO ChWleStoB) was 4 hoax was cor
rect.
When the extract from the letter ap-
peared our people cOuld not understand
whether the inquiry ~ TO whether Charles
ton would be safe" referred to the dam
ger OF Indians, smallpox, kukiux, or yell
l0w-feyer; but they were sure that il he
had ever written any such letter 1t was upon
misinformation.
1t now appears positively that IL was
never written by the Marquis, which re-
moves some misunderstanding that might
have otherwise existed.
VISIT TO ALLEN & GIgrER's.
Yesterday afternoon Colonel DE Winton
and DR.. Burnet-tbe first the chief OF staff
Of the Marquis, the second a well-known
London physician-yisited the cigarette
factory OF Allen 4 Ginter, place of never
| failing interest to strangers. Dir. Ginter
| took them through the cigarette and to-
bacco departments, but owing to the late
ness OF the hour and the approach Of dark
ness could not show them through the en-
tire building. They said that, weather and
other circumstances permitting, the Mar
quis and Princess would call this morning.
Standing before Mr.. Ginter's big open
crate, filed with the glowing Goals OF Ches-
terfleId and West Virginia, these gentle
men said that they were pleased with Rich
mOnd; that it seemed iiko an English
town. They were particularly gratitied at
the open fires they found in their rooms at
the hotel here.
