From Detroit it is learned that the re.
ception to be given to General Alger
there next week will be on magniti.
cent scale. In administration circles it
is said that the reception is scheme OF
the democrats of Michigan to have
big demonstration for the purpose of
discrediting the President and his cabi-
net in the State, but people who know
better say it will be manifestation OF
popular feeling. 1t is expected that
Gov. Pingree will be conspicuous on
the occasion, and his utterances will be
looked for with keen interest here. The
administration people privately express
the opinion that they expect some hard
raps and they are preparing to have
counter reports go forth that the recep.
ton is intended not so much personal
compliment to the retiring cabinet otti-
Ger as slap at the President for politi-
cal reasons. General Ayers close
friends continue to be very sore over
his compulsory retirement, and they
assert that the proposed demonstration
is only an honest desire on the part OF
his friends and neighbors to accord him
a hearty welcome when he returns to
his home.

Senator Martin OF Virginia arrived
here this morning, but left again for
Richmond after stay of only few
hours. He ssye he is more assured OF
his election now, after Congressman
Jones's attack upon bin, even than he
was before, though he has always been
confident of it. He was just from Nor

be is satisfied, is for him by large ma
iority; indeed, he says, his information
from all parts of the State is to the same
effect, with the exception of the first or
Fredericksburg district, and his late

The charges brought against him, his
friends here say, are sc notorlously in
