JEFFERSON DAVIS.
TIE rx.rREslDxNr VISITS THE CITY
OF HIS INAUGURATION.
A Grasd Ovation from Beauvoir, Miss, to
Montgomery. Als.-Generai John B.
Gordon's Reception by His
Old Soldiers
ny teIssraph to lne Dispatca.I

MONTGOMERY, ALA, April H.
Jefferson Davis left his home at Beau
voir, Miss. at | | o'clock this morning.
lie was accompanied by his youngest
daughter. They were in a special car,
in charge Of q committee of citizens OF
Montgomery, headed by Mayor Reese,
Who went to escort them. Their ar
rival at every station was the
signal for demonstration Of the
people. At stopping. places between
this city and Mobile great crowds
gathered, the local military companies
bred salutes, children waved handker-
chiefs and shouted. and all pressed to
the car TO shake the hand of the man
who led the cause Of the South during
war times. Many one-legged and one
armed soldiers were waiting to see him,
ard all bad shouts of welcome. Mr..
Davis stood or sat at the rear Of the
car. He was too feeble to speak, but
gave hearty handshakes to all.
The train reached here ut 8 o'clock
tonight. The scene has never been
equalled since the inaugural reception
in 1861. Houses were illuminated, fire.
works frightened the heavens, artilloy
doomed, and q dozen bands played,
while the shouts of thousands mingled
with the roar and added to its volume.
Local military companies and Governor
0'Neal and staff were at the depot to
receive Mr.. Davis. Ii was difficult for
the carriage in which he sat, which was
drawn by four white horses, to make its
way through the surging mass Of hu-
manity that blockaded the streets. All
this despite the rain from above and
mud beneath. Arrived at the Ex-
change Hotel, shout after shout greeted
his entrance. The ovation was the
grandest Of bis life.
The decorations on the houses are
elaborate, and the United States flag
floats from every window. Mr.. Dayis's
special car was handsomely decked, and
national ensigns were conspicuous.
OeLtIdl ~ u pUluOus iiOu htiohlo,
arrived shortly before Mr.. Davis and
was received at the depot by the mill
tary. An escort of the survivors OF
his old Sixth Alabama regiment met
him few miles from the city. lie was
welcomed on bis arrival in a speech by
Alderman Watts. the acting mayor,
Mayor Reese being on the committee
that was sseorting Mr. Davis.
General Gordon replied in speech
brief but pointed and eloquent. The
demonstration over him was hearty
and heartfelt, as be commanded many
Alabama soldiers.
Mr.. Davis retired at an early hour.
His health is good, but he is not strong.
The feeling shown for him to-day greatly
touched him, as it is the first expression
Of any consequence since the close OF
the war. His speech tomorrow will be
short.
The city is full Of strangers, and
thousands will arrive during the night
and early in the morning. The occa-
sion is lecture by him and an address
by General Gordon in aid Of the monu-
ment to be erected there to the soldiers
Of Alabama who fell in the war be-
tween the States.

mittsd . minority report, and, On the
request Of Mr.. Reid, Of North Carolina,
the Willis bill was placed on the cslen-
dar, with IN adverse Recommendation.
The House, In Committee OF the
Whole, again took up the river and
harbor bill. The paragraph accepting
from the State of Ohio the Muskingum-
river improvement gave rise to much
opposition, and Mr.. Reagan, Of Texas,
moved to strike it from the bill.
In supporting this motion Mr. Hewitt,
Of New York, said that the bill con-
tanned several propositions by which
the United States went into different
States, and, either by purchase. condeu-
nation, or gift, became the owner oil
works within these States. He had
dissented from the paragraph Tor
The condemnation Of the works
Of The Monongahela Navigation
Company because he had felt
that it was dangerous innovation. lie
would have said that it was an unconstl-
tuticnal step, but he was aware that
all barriers erected by the Constitution
had been long since swept away. The
Government was becoming the dump
ing. ground of oil Improbable enter
pTises OF the several States. The States
were trying to shift the cost OF the
maintenance Of local enterprises to the
broad shoulders Of the people OF the
country. He was utterly opposed to
such proposition.
The debate took rather a miscella-
neous turn, embracing national taxation,
the labor question. business depression
and how to remedy it, extravaganza OF
the Democratic party. the centralizing
tendency Of the Government, the bur-
den Of great corporations, the Okla
bona question, and silver. Finally the
motion to strike out was lost. and the
committee rose, and at 5:45 the House
Adjourned.

Determined Tramps.

By telegraph 10 the Dispatch.
HARRIsONBURG, VA, April 27.-
Last night, as a south-bound freight
train on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road was nearing Edinburg, Shenan-
doah county, the conductor discovered
five tramps between the cars stealing
rides. On reaching Eidnburg they were
told to get off, but refused. Force was
spoken of. when the tramps produced
rszors and pistols and declared their
intention of riding to this place. The
officials of Edinburg were called to the
rescue, but when the town sergeant at
tempted to put down resistance by
drawing a pistol he was covered with a
revolver by one Of the tramps and
warned to desist. The tramps were
finally scattered, and four have since
been arrested. The matter has occa-
stoned considerable excitement. Where
the tramps were from or where they
were going is not known.

NORFOLK, Va, April 27.-William
Manley (colored), who killed Manuel
Bright and stabbed two other men in a
drunken Sunday row just outside of
Norfolk about four weeks ago, was

jury about nightfall. In about thirty
minutes a verdict Of murder in the
second degree was returned, and the
punishment Of the prisoner fixed at
twelve years in the penitentiary. The
