THE PRESIDENTIAL TOUR. The President and party, under the escort of ex- Prosidont Fillmore, left Niagara Falls yesterday morn- ing, and were received at Buffalo with every demonstra- tion of joy, marred only by a single insult directed towards Prosident himself by a radical paper in the resident Fillmore, the President and Secre- urd made important and significant speeches at Buffalo. The journey was resumed in the afternoon, and en- livened by enthusiastic receptions at nearly every sta- tion between Buffalo and Cleveland. At Silver creck, Dunkirk and Erie the demonstrations were particularly enthusiastic, and drew from the President lengthy and animated speeches, The party arrived at Cleveland at nine P. M., and were driven immediately to the Kenuard House. About ten o'clock the President appeared on the balcony and made a speech to the crowd below, during tho dolivery ‘hich a remarkable scene took place, ‘The crowd was evidently largely composed of radicals who interrupted the President by hooting and shouting at him, and in one Instance cailing him “a traitor.’ ‘Tho friends of the President in the crowd replied to the numerous hisses with cheers and applause, and when he had finished bis speech he was saluted with loud and continued plaudits. Repotitions of this scene, and perbaps even worse, are anticipated at Chicago, where the radicals have been making threats (hat the President shall not speak in the Board of Trade Hail, sSiguiticant language has been uttered by the partisan papers ot the city, and the evi- dences of a riot are plentiful and threatening. The President has decided to visit St. Louis, and this has materially altered the programme of arrangements. ‘The new programme is published elsewhere in our col- umns. THE CITY. There were (ve new cases of cholera reported In this city yesterday. During the past two days thirteen deaths were reported. The warm weather of the past few days was said to bave caused the increase, The Mortuary report showed six hundred and forty-four deaths as having ovcurred during the past week, The mitmber of deaths from cholera was foriy seven, of which only twenty. ovcurr’d in the eity proper. The weekly mortality bill for Brooklyn shows a great falling off in the number of deaths, the aggregate for the week being two hundred and fifty-five. The Board of Aldermen met yesterday. A resolution was offered by Alderman Varnum, asking that the for- mer action of the Board relative to the gas contract be modified so os to further guard against any unfairness in the award. The resolution was laid upon the table. After the tranea tion of some routine business the Board adjourned to Monday next, ‘The Board of Supervisors met yesterday, the President ff the chair. The Committee on New Court House re- ported in favor of paying various bills for materials used in the construction of that building, The Committee on Armories and Drili Rooms favored an appropriation to pay for the reps done to the armory of the Ninety-fitth reg: tment, New York state National Guard.

The Philadelphia parti-colored Convention com- menced work yesterday, A grand procession was formed in the morning to escort the Southern delega- tions to tho Union League House, It was composed of the Boys in Blue, the National Union Club, the fire companies, the Loyal German Club, Generals Ben Butler, Burnside, Governor Sprague and other organizations and individuals. A speoch welcoming tho delegation was made by the chairman of the committee. ‘Jack’ Hamilton answered on behalf of the visitors, and then the con- vention was called to order, the speaker using the identical gavel used in the South Carolina Convention when the ordinance of secession was passed. There were only two or three colored delegates on the floor, but the hall was formerly an establishment for negro minstrel performances, Thomas J. Durant, of Louisiana, was elected Chairman, A committee on permanent organization was appointed, and the convention adjourned until this morning, <A mooting of the Northern radicals was held simultano- ous'y with the Southern meeting, at tho Union League House. Governor Curtin was elected Chairman, and a number of State Governors were made Vice Presidents. Fred Douglass was proposed as one of the Secretaries, but he declined in favor of Theodore Tilton, Speeches were delivered in the evening by Henry Wilson, Horace May- nard Colonel Stokes and others, Mr. Wilson was indulging in his usual abuse of tho President when a man, an- nouncing himself as an American soldier, declared that he would not hear the President reviled. He was promptly ejected, and the meeting aftor that was har- monious and undemonstrative. A portion of the National Republican Committee met at the Astor House yesterday in obedience to the call of Heury J. Raymond, the Chairman. Only seven of the committee were presont. Under a call issued from Washington another por- tion of the committee met in Philadelphia, and doclarod the places of Raymond, the Chairman, and Sperry, the Secrstary, and Seuter of Ohio, in the Com. mittee, to be vacant, and resolved that the vacancies be filled by appointment by the Committee. The elections to fill the vacancies in the Louisiana Stato Convention of 1864 are undorstood to be progress- ing in the parishes unrepresented thfbughout the State. ‘The business of the convention whicl led to the recent riots in New Orleans was, it will be remembered, to present a@ list of these vacancies and order elections to fill them. The radicals of Knox county, Me., having a conven- tion in full blast recently, invited General Tilson, the present Commissioner of the Froedmen’s Bureau in Georgia, to ventilate his sentiments, having no doubt that he would do as tho other orators did, defend Con- gress and denounce President Johnson. The General made tris speech, but it fel like a wet blanket upon the party present, the tenor of it being the very opposite of what they oxpected. They listened ia silence, or at- tempted to corner the speaker by. interrogations, but they failed, and at the end of the speech quietly sepa- rated, without the usual cheers and demonstrations, The American Consul at Havana has furnished the Secretary of State with a copy of the orders of the Gover- nor General establishing a strict quarantine against all veasels from the United States. All such vessels are to be declared foul and compelled to perform quarantine at Mariel, without regard to therr bill of health, There wore forty-eight deaths from cholera on Sunday in St. Louis, six in Philadelphia and two in Cincin- nati yesterday. Thore were thirty-four cases in New Orleans on Saturday and Sunday, and two deaths from yellow fevor, Groat indignation is manifested in Ottawa among the Canadians at the recent escape of Head Centre Murphy and his confederates, It is asked, what use there is in keeping the other Fenians in prison any longer, now that the leaders have escaped. Arms and munitions of war are being smuggled into the province by the Fe- nians. Considerable discontent still provails among tho militia, and it is said that, except those under orders, no more troops will be despatched from Fngland. A heavy storm visited the neighborhood of Cin- cinnati yesterday, A creek was so swollen that thirty tenement houses were swept away, the occupants barely escaping. Longworth’s colebrat- ed wine cellars were overflowed, threo tanneries were destroyed, and a main culvert burst open. The total damage is roughly estimated at three or four hun- dred thousand dollars, Several persons wore drowned in the country adjoining. Thero appears to be no doubt that the radicals in Mis- souri are organizing @ secret and armed conspiracy to carry the State against the conservatives, and to resist foderal authority. Arms are being atipped in large quantities from the State arsenal in St. Louis to the in- terior by order of the Governor, and squads of negroes, armed, are drilling in every portion of thé State. These preparations are ail conducted with asecrecy that de. notes conscious 2uilt, The Bergen county Circuit Court met at two P.M. yesterday, and prococded with tho trial of Rlisha Ruck- man, charged with poisoning cattle in the summer and fali of 1865, at or noar the palixades, in Bergen county, N. J. Bot few facts additional to those previously pre- sented were elicited. The counsel were occupied for a considerable time in the re-examination of recalled wit- nesses, and in obiaining from them information in re- gard to the topographyjof the locality in which the poison was found. Mr. Thaddens White, who, it will be remembered, was shot in May last, died on Sunday at bis residence, Staren Island. The trial of Allen tho alleged homicide, will take place on the 11th of this month, at New Brunswick, Tuer New Frenco Minister or Forrtan Arvairns—A Sronricant Apporntwent.—The resignation of Drouyn de Lhnys as Napoleon’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and the appoint- ment in his place of the Marquis de Moustier (not Montholon) is a change of some signifi- canee in the present position of European affairs. In the first place the question recurs, why has Drouyn de Lhuys resigned? Left to conjecture, we are free to infer that it is be- cause Louis Napoleon has resolved upon some radical change in his programme of European reconstruction and that his old prime minister shrinks from the task of putting it into execn- tion. The man who takes his place, the Mar- quis de Moustier, is comparatively unknown on this side the Atlantic; but he is a rising man and has had some valuable diplomatic expe- rience as one of Napoleon's diplomatic repre- sentatives at St. Petersburg. In this interesting fact we may have not only the secret of his appointment, but the key to the new departure of Napoleon, looking to the rectification, as he calls it, of the European equilibrium. We venture the opinion that this is a step towards a close and intimate alliance with the Czar, comprehending the equivalent ‘o Russia of some new acquisitions in Europe for some new accessions to France in the West. In other words, Napoleon, beaten in his great game with Bismarck, is about to try a still larger game with the Emperor Alexander, in view of a European Congress, or without one, Considered in this light, the change of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs is indeed a most significant and important movement, and de follee velopments may be expooted to ‘The Nigger-Worshippers’ Convention at Phila- delphia. The Convention of all the odds and ends of humanity, from the cadaverous, pale faced and canting New England parson to the blackest and strongest smelling African, met in Phila- delphia yesterday. The shades of color among the conventionists were as various as the physiognomy and idiosyncrasies were remark- able, Such an aggregation of the freaks of nature, physically and mentally, in the shape of humanity, was never seen before. Our cor- respondents have given us graphic pen and ink sketches of some of the delegates and scenes, but it is to be hoped that one of our best photographers will not lose the opportu- nity of taking a picture of the motley and ex- traordinary assembly, In the call for this Convention it was desig- nated “The Southern Loyalists’ Convention,” but it is now called the “ Loyalists’ Conven- tion.” We do not know what the afterthought was which led to dropping the word “South- ern.” Probably the managers found that it would be a very beggarly affuir if confined to the “white trash” of the South, and therefore they concluded to fill up with Northern nigger- worshippers and give it a more general title. Now we know that according to the sense in which the radicals use the word “loyalist” there are but few white men in the South who come under the designation. They say them- selves that the mass of the loyal people of the South are ihe blacks, It is hardly necessary to say that we and all the conservative people of the North differ with them as to the truly loyal white men of the South. The really disloyal—the disunionists of the present day—are these véry radicals, miscalled Southern loyalists, now assembled in Philadelphia, while the loyal, honest and true men are the bulk of the Southern whites who accept in good faith the decision of the war and desire to live in harmony again under the old flag. But, taking the declaration of Jack Hamilton and his fellow conventionists, that the niggers form the great majority of the Southern loyalists, why, we ask, is not the Con- vention composed chiefly of these blacks? Why were notsome of the distinguished and numerous Pompeys, Caesars, Scipios, George Wasbingtons and Tom Jeffersons chosen as delegates? If they are intelligent enough to have the elective franchise and are entitled to all the privileges of white men, it is flat usur- pation on the part of Hamilton, Parson Brown- low, Greeley and the rest of the Conven- tion to keep them out. Why does not Fred Douglass denounce this hypocrisy? He ought to see to it that these political tricksters do not use him and his race for their own benefit. Not only ought the Southern ne- gvroes to be most largely represented, but one of them ought to be the President of the Con- vention. Or, if their while brethren of both sections have not confidence enough in the ability of one of the plantation niggers for the position, Fred Douglass ought to be unexcep- tionable. He has more ability than most df the white delegates, and certainly is the represent- ative man of hisrace. It appears, however, that Fred Douglass is not even to be admitted as adelegate. He is to be ruled out on the pretence that he is a Northerner, but evidently on account of his color. It is said that General Hiram Walbridge, too, will not be admitted. Whether it is suspected that he has nigger blood in his veins or not we have not learned. The only business of the Northern mean whites at Philadelphia seems to be to swell the numbers and to make a noise. They are only to sit in the Convention as guests or friends’ of the miserable small clique of mean Southern whites, taking no part in the official proceed- ings. It looks as if this had been so arranged in order to keep out Fred Douglass and other Northern blacks. The darkies of Philadelphia, the bootblacks and waiters, evidently have a proper appre- ciation of the conventionists. One of them, rejoicing in the name of Daniel Webster, was asked what he thought of the Convention. He replied, “ Well, sah, don’t know much ; these folks talk a great deal, but they never give us any stamps; all our stamps come from the olher side.” “In all probability most of the mean members of this most mean Convention black their own or each other’s boots. The negroes are a very practical sort of people about stamps, and know well enough who are their friends. Fred Douglass and his colored brethren may feel flattered for a t'me by hay- ing walked arm-in-arm with General Ben But- ler and General Burnside ; but they will soon find out how they have been humbugged. The Convention, so-called, is a complete fizzle. D. D, Forney with his strikers and the riff-raff of Philadelphia endeavored to make an excitement by parades and a display of bunting; but all that turned out a ridiculous furce. The display of fire engines and fire companies, the sound of drums and fifes and | the hurrahs of crowds of rowdies and boys, hired for the occasion, were, like the noise and fuss of a mountebank show, to astonish and amuse the ignorant. Failing to atiract atten- tion in any other way these black and white radicals resorted to the showman’s tricks, All this is really amusing, and we might dismiss the Convention with ridicule; but the incendi- ary language of the speakers and the infamous abuse of the President deservo the severest con- demnation. The language of these radicals was revolting and revolutionary in the extreme, They spoke of negro insurrection, violence, blood and revolution as boldly as ever the rebels did. We are not sure that it is not the duty of the President to auwest these new traitors and disunionists. One thing is certain— their proceedings will disgust every sensible and conservative citizen of the republic and give impetus to the reaction which has set in against them roughout the whole country, Tur Prestpext’s Prooress.—President John- son’s journey westward to Chicago increases in the enthusiasm of his receptions and in the interesting speeches, scenes and incidents of his stoppages from point to point, and from day to day. There are two Andrews in this Presidential travelling party. Mr. Johnson himself, who isa grave and serious Andrew, and Mr. Seward, who is the Merry Andrew of the whole company. His broad humors and his dry jokes are irresistible, and he seems literally to be overflowing with patriotic enthusiasm. He is so sanguine of a great and glorious political revolution that he counts upon a majority of forty thousand against the radicals in the Empire State. He may be putting the figure a little too high for the first broadside, but it is apparent from President Johascn’s popalar receptions every- where on this journey that we are on the verge of a great political revolution. The people are awake ; they comprehend the battle before them, and in the coming fall elections they will give the victory to the administration. Tais is the meaning of the President’s receptions at every point along his journey. ‘The New Pilgriu Progress—Brother Beecher and Ben Butler Part Company. For a long while past Brother Beecher and Ben Butler have been travelling the same road. Butler joined Beecher at the beginning of the late war, and they both talked negro and walked along together. During tho war it was interesting to observe the different deportments of the two pilgrims. Beecher, who had thrown away his Sharp’s rifle, ot Kansas fame, passed along with bis hands folded, his lips moving in prayer and his eyes turned devoutly upward. Of course he made many stumbles, but still he kept steadfastly upon his way, looking neither to the right hand nor to the left, while above him hovered a bright angel, leading and guid- ing him, Butler, however, although upon the same road as Beecher, met with many more adventures. As he trotted on he swore at every obstacle, while Beecher prayed. Then, too, he would switch off the track to: insult women and rob adjacent houses of pianos and silver spoons and Bermuda Hundred wine. At one time he was lost in a ditch, called the Dutch Gap canal; at another he was bottled up, like the imp in the Arabian Nights, and at another he declared that Fort Fisher could not be captured when General Terry had already taken it. A mason at Lowell gave him an an- noying check, and at Big Bethel he came out at the little end of the horn. Always bobbing about, talking fight but never showing it, with an eye to the spoils instead of the enemy, and more ready to storm a bank vault than a fort, Butler trusted for protection, not to Beecher’s angel, but to a well-known character who dresses in black, loves brimstone, has a forked tail, and is popularly supposed to take care of his own. The people wondered to see these singularly consorted pilgrims travelling together, the one all prayer and the other all viciousness. Still it was evident that there was some sort of a companionship between them at this period ; for, ever and anon they would link arms at an election and rejoice together over a political success. Beecher’s thoughts were too much upon heavenly things for him to scrutinize Butler’s conduct very closely, and perhaps he imagined that:the hero of Big Bethel must be a great warrior because he bragged and blus- tered so much and so imperatively insisted upon more blood. Beecher’s eyes, being turned piously upwards, could not observe the spoons sticking out of Butler’s pockets, nor the quantity of other people’s furniture which he had strapped, I!ke John Brown’s knapsack, upon his back. So it happened that, about two years ago, when these two pilgrims rested for awhile at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, upon the occasion of a public reception given to Butler by the loyal leaguers of this city, Beecher made a speech, in the course of which he nominated Butler for President. Butler made a speech also, and pretended to be very patriotic and conservative, very anxious for the restoration of the Union and the return of the rebellious Southerners to their allegiance. ‘The pilgrims were in such happy harmony that everybody was delighted, and when they started off once more, the ubiquitous Wetmore sirewed their path with bouquets of flowers and the Heratp magnanimously gave them its benediction, after ascertaining that no spoons were missing at the hotel. But it came to pass that as these pilgrims journeyed on their way they learned that Grant, Farragut, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas and our brave soldiers and sailors had syp- pressed the rebellion, and soon afterwards they arrived at a point where two roads met. That to the right had a finger post upon which were the words Peace, Restoration, Reunion, Happiness, Prosperity and Power, and it seemed to lead upward to sublime and glow- ing heights of national glory. That to the left had a finger post very differently inscribed, for upon it were the words Civil War, Disunion, Repudiation, Misery, Woe and Anarchy, and it pointed grimly downward to dark and dismal depths of wretchedness and shame. Beecher’s good angel led him by the right road, but But- ler, after considering that there were no chances for silver spoons and other plunder along that route, deliberately marched to the left, thus parting company with his fellow pil- gtim. The wise, patriotic, Christian and states- manlike letter of Brother Beecher which we published on Sunday shows that he has se- lected the true course and that it agrees with him, and all good men will cheer him on. The blood and thunder speech of Ben Butler which we published last week, is an evidence that he has become more demoralized than ever; for he now asserts that the only right remaining to the Southern people is the right to be hanged, and talks about getting up a rebellion a. the North to make a raid upon our valuables as he did upon those of the South. In vain will poor Greeley, and twaddling Tilton and the radical trustees of Plymouth church attempt to bully Brother Beecher into going back to the cross- roads and taking the other turn with Butler. It is too late for him to cast in his lot with Thad Stevens and Satan. Butler may rant and rave and paddle his canoe upon the lake of fire and brimstone, but Beecher has chosen that good part which shall never be taken away from him. FORGER ARRESTED AT CHICAGO.

DRUNKEN ORGIES AT THE HOTELS, SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALO, Puicapetrata, Sept. 3, 1866. NO MORE SOUTHERNERS ARRIVING—ARAWLERS FLOM THE west. But few Southern delegates arrived last night or this morning to swell the very meagre list of yesterday, but a large number of noisy, brawling radicals from the Westera States have been added to the crowds before the bar. Asa good proportion of these are decapliated officeholders, or “hangers on” of Congress, their coarse abuse of President Johnson is only equalled in strength by the liquor in which they indulge, and they mix their drinks and their denunciations indiscriminately. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES All night long the orgies were kept up in some of the rooms at the several hotels, and the vagrant whites who register their names as delegates from the South proved that they possess one characteristic at least ot the poor mean whites of the late slaveholding States—an unlimited capatity for the storage of whiskey. In all other aspects they difler from the accepted description of Southerners, and, with few exceptions, formish counterpart presentments of the unwholesome-looking, long-haired attendants of free love and women’s rights conventions. A CONTEST FOR THX PRESIDENCY AVERTED, The Tribune's suggestion to make Fred Douglas an officer of the convention would no doubt have been carried out by his election tothe presidency bad it not been headed off by the policy of confluing the work of the Convention to Southerners, and admitting the North- ern delegates only to honorary seats, General Hiram Walbridge would have warmly contested the honor with him; but the old army sutlers, cotton agents and hangers- on of the Freedmen’s Bureau, who pretend to represent a portion of the South, would have been giad to put a negro in the chair to kill off the expediency cry of those Northern delegates who fear the reaction that must take place among their own constituencies when the effort to Atricanize the country is properly understood. ANOTHER CIVIL WAR DEMANDED. In fact, the ulra radicalism of these mean Southern whites ig clearly induced by a desire to plunge the coun try into another war. “The negro must vote or they must be induced to join us and fight,"’ is the cry that hag been raised bere scores of times in the barroom discus- sions of the last forty-eight hours, PROSPECTS OF “A RICH ST. DOMINGO" IN THE SOUTH, Iitustrative of this is the following conversation, which took place to-day at the National Negro Union Cinb House, No. 1,105 Chesnut street, between a Virginia deiegate and one of the officers of the club: — Mxan Wutre (in reply to a question)—Well, sir, we are ina bad state. We can’t do without negro suffrage or another war. Either we must cali on the darkies to help us as against the rebels and ry ue rebels by their votes, of the rebels must rule us, or we must fight, And if we do, unless we have very spocdy beip from the North, it will be a short matter, as our numbers are so few Nation an Necro Ustontst—I air negroes do not rise wherever ti the towns.

BRECHSR'S 4OMBSUBLE.- A prominent topic of conversation all this morning has been Brother Boocher's letter, which falls Like @ bombshell in the Tadical camp. Poor Yilton is hounded to death on the subject, and is badgered half out of hig life. An answer is published to Boecher’s lottor in this morning's /’rexs, signed by one Arm-strong, No person seems to be certain of the identity of the writer, but the name would suggest that the author is a gentleman of color. LAST NIGHT'S PRAYER MEETING. Forney publishes a paragraph this morning rejoicing over ‘the significant vpening of the great religious cam. ign”? at the prayer mecting at the National Negro Jnion Committee rooms last night, presided over by Brother Ira Harris. This new feature of the campaign will be under the especial superintendence of Brother Nye, of Nebraska, Brother Chandler, of Michigan, Brother Butler, of Massachusetts, Brother Thad Stevens, of Penusylvania, and other religious lihts of the party. ‘THE NEW YORK DELEGATION met this morning at nino o'clock in one of the side pas- gages at the Continental, and chose Hon, Ira Harrie chairman, and G, B.

The morning broke brilliantly, but with the weather a shade too warm for a miscegnation gathering. The streets were liberally decorated with flags, and the marching of detached squads of firemen and citizcos , gave thom a lively appearance. The barber shops all made a handsome show, and their proprietors turned out in numbers, keeping the day as a holiday. DIBSATI@PACTION OF COLORED LOYALISTS. A great deal of dissatisfaction was, however, expressed by the colored visitors and population, who were led to suppose that they would have a prominent place as- signed to them in the proceedings. They hold that the real “boys in black” have as good a right to an honora- Le ected in the procession as have the “boys in blue,” RORNES ON THR CORNERS, At every corner blacks and whites were gatherod in- discriminately, and the ugual fan, frolic and excitement of a crowd were observable. There were two fights ia the neighborhood of Chestnut sireet, growing out of bad whiskey and a hot sun, and in both instances the com- batants were of the same radical faith, On one corner a yhaif inebriated radical was raving at ‘‘Audy Jobnson”’ in a frantic manner and in language not admissible into the columns of the Heranp, except in the exceptional case of an important obituary. He expressed an earnest desire lo have Andy there, in which case he promised by some peculiar process to admit the daylight into one of the main portions of his anatomy, He was finally led off by amore conservative friend, under tho alluring promise of ‘another drink.’ SENATOR HARMIS AND THE CONVENTION. Senator Harris, despite his naturally conservative principles, which have been too often expressed by bun ‘on the bench and before his law school in Albany to be readily forgotten, has determined to *‘ ag the whole nig- or” with the radicals, in order to secure @ re-election. Easos he is taking a very prominent part in the pro- ceedings a$ an active and talkative outsider, and hes action stands out in bolder relief from the uncasy va- cillation of his colleague, who, although be has writtea a twaddling sort of logy to the Convention, absenga himselt, because unwilling to commit himseil whoily to the radical movement, SCKNES AT INDEPENDENCE HALL. By nine o'clock quite a crowd had’ gathered in the vicinity of Ti nce Hall to catch a glimpse of the Southern det who were expected to meet there previous to being escorted to the Union League House, according to the programme. At fifteen minut»s to ten ‘a portion of the Southern delegates arrived ai Indopen- dence Hall, followed in a few moments by the Tennessee dolegation, headed by Parson who was re- ceived with loud shouts from the oui of the building. ‘They were followed by delegations from Maryland and Georgia, after which delegations from both Northern and houthern States followed each other indiscriminately and passod through the Hall into Independence i approach of General uare.
