The Baltimore Sun says: it having been made known that President Johnson and the distinguished officials accom- panying bim would reach this city at noon to- day.on their return to Washington from their extended tour westward, Mayor Chapman last evening sent to the two branches of the city council the following message: “Gentlemen: The President of the United States will arrive in our city to-morrow, Sep- tember 15th instant. Governer Swann and Staff propose to proceed to the Pennsylyania line and escort the party to the city ball, where he will be received by the mayor and city council and citizens. It will be my pleasure toco-operate with your honorable body in ex- tending the boepitalities of the city’ to the President, and in extending to him a cordiai and hearty welcome.” On receipt of this, it was, on motion, referred toa joint select committee, consisting of Messrs. Lynch, Foreman and Lankford, of the first brancb, and Messrs, Robinsen, Nalls and Vai- lant, of the second branch, who concurred in it. The committee, aftera conference, reported the following resolution: “Resolved, &c., That the corporate authori- ties of the city of Baltimore meet at the city Hall on to-morrow morning, at Il o'clock, to proceed in carriages to the depot for the pur- pose of receiving the President of the United States, and extending to him the hospitalities of the city.” in the first branch of the City Council, the yete being on the adoption of the resolution, Mr. Marsh said thaton the arrival of the Presi- dent in Baltimore. on bis way to Uhicago, he welcomed him as cordially as any one, al- though he did not hold the same political views. He then thought the President was on legiti- mate business becoming his station. But the result has shown that the visit to the Douglas monument was a mere pretext for an election- eering campaign, unworthy of the exalted po- sition he holds. Mr. Johnson has publicly an- nounced that he bas “laid aside his robe of office,” and that he does not stand upon bis dignity.” Ifsuch be the case, be could not see thas they were called upon to recognize the president of the United States,and pay respect to him assuch. He moved that the resolution be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Bruscup opposed the motion. It was due to the Omef Magistrate of the Nation that tbey should treat him with proper respect. Although the city council was hooted by the crowd when they last escorted him tothe Phil- adelpbia depot, and his feelings were sorely wounded thereby, etill be thought it due to the President that the resolution should be adopted Mr. McGuire said he regretted he could not endorse the movement. The President had perverted the whole object of his visit, and it would be inconsistent with bis principles as a Union man, and his views of right to yote in fayor of the resolution. The vote was taken, and the resolution of the committee rejected by its indefinite postpone- ment, by yeas 9, nays 6, as follows: Yeas—Messrs. Heuneberry, McGuire,Marsh, Wylie, Keyser, Green, Oaulk, Jones, Ewalt—9._ Nays—Meesrs. President, Lynch, Steuart, Bruscup, Herring. Gorsuch, Lankford, Fore- man—. Absent, Messrs. Kraft, Nicholls and Price. The resolution haying been thus disposed of in the first branch, there was of course no ac- Uon on it in the seoond branch. ‘This action of the city council will not, how- ever, prevent the people from giving the dis- tinguished head of the nation a reception ia keeping with Baltimore's well-known reputa- tion for hospitality. The proceedings will be under the auspices of the Governor of the State, the programme of which 1s given else- where.” The American says: Mayor Chapman, anticipating the co-opera- tion of the Council in the tender of the hospi- tality of the city of Baltimore to the President, waited at his office until information of the above proceedings were communicated to him by his Secretary. Arrangements had already been made tor the erection of the necessary staging, &c., in front of the City Hall, where the public reception Was designed to bave taken place. GOV. SWANN AND THE CITY AUTHORITIES. Last evening, itis rumored, Mayor Chap- man. accompanied by several members of the Coancil called upon Governor Swann and in- formed him of the refusal of the City Council, in a body, to welcome Presidert Johnson, and volunteered in an informal way to participate in the ceremony ofa reception upon his ar- rival here to-day. The cool and haughty man- ner in which the Governor received these city officials, however, forced them to decline participating, and, after a brief visit, they took their departure from the presence of his Ex- cellency. Before leaving the Governor they were as- sured by him thata proper reception would be accorded President Johnson, the expense of which wouid be paid out of the State Treasury, and turther, thatif the State de- clined to pay the biil, it would be paid trom the private purse ot the Governor. It is understood that several of oar merchants and other business men will participate in the reception and banquet. SF Why are country gir! French calico?

Four or five are said to be killed, and 30 or 40 wounded. A platform extending over the canal, 75 feet long, and from i5 to 18 feet in width, on whieh several hundred persons were standing, broi in the center just asthe train with the Presi. dent and party on board arrived. Its occu- pants were preeipitated to the id, @ dis- tance of about twenty feet. timbers and buman beings were mixed up romiscuously, all falling in a confused mass. The giving way of the structure was witnessed from the cars; but it could not st that time be ascertained by anything like an ee the extent of the disaster. Col. O’Beirne, deputy marshal of the District of Columbia, remained at the request of the President to render such assist- ance as might be neceesary. Mr. M' hy, of Washington, rendered valuable assistance. Col. O’Beirne superintended the carrying from the wreck the victims, and placing them in ‘wagons to be conveyed to <beir homes. Some bad both arme and legs broken; ethers were injured to @ lees extent, with contused heads, aud seven or eight were killed. while this evening six more were inadying condition. About ninety ‘Tsons were severely and a large number slightly injured. Col. O’Beirne saw the bodies of two girle, apparently 14 years of age: also, those ot two women and three men. The friends of the unfortunate parties hurried to the scene, frantic with grief, mothers with children in their arms, seeking their kindred. In fact, the entire population were gathered around the distressing scene, anxiously looking for or inquiring for their friends and relatives. Physicians were sent for, and twelve arrived trom Pittsburg. It is said the President contributed liberally for the relief of the most uecessitous by this sad calamity. At Altoona the Presidert made a brief re- — to the address, and in tendering his thanks said he was glad to be thus compli- mented by the people, for from that source it was more welcome than from any other. It was the people he had tried to serve from his advent into public life to the present time, and upon whom he would always rely to stand by the country in every emergency.

HARRISBURG, fept. 14—The President to- night, at 10 o'clock, addressed the crowd from the balcony of the hotel. In the course of his remarks he said the charges of usurpation against him were well known. He cared not for calumnies, defama- lion, and slander. He had lived for nearly fifty-seven years, and it was no new thing for him to be assailed by the enemies of the peo- ple. He would not be driven from the posi- tion be had occupied for the last thirty-five years by these defamers and asubsidized press; and though not being an old man he had lived many of his slanderers down; and though life is uncertain, he expected to live to triumph over his calumniators of his day. ceeded at length to speak on the topics of the day in substance similar to the speeches he bad made elsewhere during the excursion Mr. Owen Thorne, and severai other gentle- men, of a committee from Washington, have arrived to escort the President on his return.

Edawar es and the President, AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE. One of the most interesting events connected ‘with the stay of the President in St. Louis was the occasion of his visit to the venerable ex- Attorney General of the United States, Hon. Hawi Bates. The St. Lovis Republican says: te is known to most of our citizens that the health of Mr. Bates is very precarious. He 1s suffering from a disease of the Jungs that is liable to produce death at almost any hour On Sunday, at one o'clock, accord! © previous arrangement, tain James B. called at the Lindell Hi for the President, Secretary Seward, and Secretary Welles, and with them proceeded to the house of Mr. Bates. The latter seemed much on seeing bis distin- guished associates, and thanked them most feelingly for their visit to one who, he ssid, was a dying man. He spoke, however, with the greatest cheerfulness of his expected disso- jution. Having lived three score years and thirteen, he had bad three more years than he was entitled to. His remarks to Mr. Seward were exceedingly touching. He had never ex- pected to see him alive again, and this was just so much clear gain to him. Mr. Welles he addressed as one who was near to him by tes of friendship and mutual trial beyond what he could express. He spoke to the President as one who had a greater weight of cares and responsibilities than any fifty men in the nation and thanked God for believing that he was one of the mest worthy that could bave been selected to perform his obligations to the whole country. The President at parting assured Mr. Bates that bis last interview with him in Washington was fresh in his memory, as well as word of good advice and encouragement he then given bim, and that he could not express the pleesure it gave of baving it in his power now to do himself the honor of calling to see him. The parting of Mr. Bates and Mr. Sewara was eT, but the kind words of each cannot recalled. The eyes of both ‘Were moistened, and the deep feelings with which all four of these great statesmen were affected will long be remembered by those who witnessed their tarewell visit to the reverend and honored patriot of Missouri.
