THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP, President Johnson ard party strived in Bal- timore last evening. Governor Swann and Mayor Chapman took them in change and es- corted them to Barnum’s Hotel, where quar- ters bad been prepared. The President was introduced to a dense crowd, from the balcony, by ex-Governor Bradford, who adaressed complimentary remarks to him, and then bade hima cordial welcome to the city. Tne Presi- dent replied thanking them for the kind atten- tion given him, saying, “my reception both North and South has been ofjthat character which indicates to me an era of good-fellow= sbip and reconciliation between the two sec- tions of the Union. [Applause.} Thank God, itisso. [Renewed applnuse.) In the very dawn of difficulties, when one portion of the Union threatenea the other, 1 took my position, which is known to the people 1 now address. But, my friends, there are two kinds of cour- age, one which will enable a man to meet his foe upon the field—this physical courage—but itis moral courage which strengthens a man to stand up in the face of menace and threats and denounce those who are trying to over- throw the Government—which enables a man to plant himself firmly on the principles of the Goverment and bids defiance to all fury whencesoever it may come. Ititeasy to ap- ply the word traitor tomen. Some have done £0, but I defy any man to put hisn finger on any great principle of the Constitution or of liberty that I haveabanagoned. 1 have heid to the Constitution as the palladium of our civil and religious liberty, as the chief ark of our safety. I may have committed errors, but they bave not been of the heart. Now thatthe era of goodwill has commenced, let us forgive one another in a spirit of charity, in order to bring about a closer fellowship. The president was repeatediy cheered, and had several boquets presented to him. Amid loud and continuous cheers and cries of “Seward!” the Secretary of State came for- ward and addressed the assembly at consider- able length, and at the conclusion of the speech be and the President retired amid cheers. Governor Swann was then calledor, and made a brief speech, in which be took oc- casion to speak ofthe honesty and patriotisin of President Johnson.

The general features of the preliminary stage are bilious vomiting and sometimes purging, and usually beadache of unparalleled intensity, with inco- berency. Then eomes the purple eruption, accompanied, in most cases, by great debility, and followed by collapse and death. The dus ration of the illness is of @ three-fold variety. in the first, where the period is reckeneq vy hours, one case was fata: in four honrs from the occurrence of the first s: ™mptyms; but the- average ighteen hours. Thgsecond variety includes from three to six days from the first indications of indisposliion to the tatal issue. The third variety, in which alone any recov- eries have taken place, embrace a period ex- tending to many days, and even weeks. it is hardly necessary to say thatin Dublin great interest is felt upon the subject among the members ot the medical profession, and considerable anxiety has been awakened among the genera! public. It is tooclear, with the steady and rapid increase in the Dublin death-rate from this mysterious complaint, that its atttacks deserve the closest and most watchful attention, not only frem the medical profession, which is thoroughly on the alert, but also rrom the public and the Goyern- ment. ——_—____ THE WORKING PEOPLB—At the session the New York Workingmen’s Convention, at Albany, on Tuesday,.some additional informa. tion was given ot the feeling of the various trades of that State with regard to the eight. hour system.
