“LET US AVE PEACE” Arrival of President Grant in Boston. His Reception by the Governor, Legis- lature and City Authorities. VISIT TO THE COLISEUM. ANOTHER GREAT MUSICAL TRIUMPH. The Programme Admirably Performed. Boston, June 16, 1869. ARRIVAL OF PRESIDENT GRANT. ‘This has been most emphatically the greatest car- nivai and gala day ever known in the history of the “Hub.” It has been jubilee, jubilee everywhere, and everything has gone along smoothly and pleasantly on the placid waters of prosperity. The weather has been unexceptionably fine—clear, cool and balmy— and thousands and thousands of visitors have come together from all parts of the United States to unite in the festivities of that great musical event of this and all former generations, The presence of General Grant has, of course, added largely to the interest and splendor of the occasion, and previous to his appear- ance at the Coliseum he was “received” by the city and State authorities, and made a hero of generally. He arrived in the city at about eight o'clock, via the Fall River steamboat linc, accompanied only by Generals Bates and Underwood, of Governor Claflin’s staf. At the Old Colony depot, upon the arrival of the train, the President was met by Mayor Shurtletf, who ac- companied hin to his quarters at the St. James Hotel. About an hour later the President break- fasted in one of the private parlors, and soon after the Boston School regiment, Colonel Tucker Deland and Lieutenant Colonel W. H. Miller in command, preceded by a full band, marched up to the front of the hotel, deployed into line and awaited a review from General Grant. The windows of the St. James presented a splendid appearance, crowded with ladies, who waved their handkerchiefs, and the side- walks with people. The line opened ranks, and Gen- eral Grant appeared, was received at present arms, and marched down the front of the line arm ip arm ‘with the Mayor, followed by Alderman White and Colonel Emory, chairman of the Committee on Mili- tary Drill. The regiment is composed of the three battalions of the Latin School, the High School and the Roxbury Latin School, and turned out about 600 strong. They made a fine appearance, marched with the preciston of veterans, and were warmly cheered by their friends. At the close of the ceremony they marched in review, and disappeared up Washington street. M13 RECEPTION BY THE GOVERNOR AND RESPONSE. Shortly after ten o’clock a military escort, con- sisting of the Roxbury Horse Guards, escorted the President, Admiral Farragut and Secretary Bout- well from the St. James to the State House, on Beacon Hill, where the ordeal of tnree distinct ‘*re- ceptions” was gone through with. The Prestdent’s carriage was drawn by six prancing steeds fnd the others by four. All along the route from the hotel to the State House there was one continued ovation, and on arriving at tne Beacon street entrance of the Capitol there was a round of cheering from at least 50,000 voices. Upon alighting from their carriages the Presidential party proceedea immediately to the Executive Depart- ment, where a welcome was extended by Governor Ciafin. Among those present were Senator Wilson and most of the Massachusetts Congressional deie- The Governor, in receiving General Grant, MR. PaesineNT—In behalf of the commonwealth I wel- eome you to her capital. Ithank you for the marked recog- nition which you have been pleased to give to her by calling to your counsel one of her most distinguishes citizens, We eoncur in your policy, and have tmpilcit confidence that your administration in toe civil department will be sof anit was in war during the rebellion. Trusting that your Visit may be as agrecable to you ua It iv gratifying to ue, J again bid you a cordial welcome. General Grant replied as follows: — Mr. GovEnnon—It affords me great pleasure to visit the eapital of the State which has done ao much for my support ‘and for the support of the Union in the time of the great re- beilion—a State whose principles did so much to give me whatever political position I have attained, and a State where I have received such a hearty welcome in these days. ‘The reply of the President was in 80 low a tone that only two or three around him heard it. A vig- orous onslaught was then made upon him for his hand by the gathering; but the President flanked the greater part of them, shaking hands with the Judge of the Supreme Court and a few others. Sec- retary Boutweill was also with the President and was formally presented to the Governor and received by him, Admiral Farragut was a lion, espesially among the ladies in the assembly in the Governor's room, and was presented with a beautiful bouquet by an unknown fair one, whose name he was somewhat anxious to know, and whether she was married or single. He said his wife was very jealous. The President remained in the Governor's room about ten minutes and then passed directly to the Senate Chamber. VISIT TO THE STATE SENATE. From the Governor’s room the President proceeded to the Senate chamber, which was in regular session at tue time. The Sergeant-at-Arms interrupted the business by announcing, in a stentorian voice, “The President of the United States,” and tmmediatel, all business was forgotten, and there was a simul- tancous turning of heads in the direction of the door which General Grant was entering. He ad- vanced toward’s the President's chair, and then listened patiently to the following brief weicoming speech No, 2: Mr. PRESIDENT—Maseachusetis has to-day, for the feventh time in her history, the privilege of welcoming to her capitol the Chief Magistrate of the nation. hat welcome extended mare cordial than pow.

In wh es the President simply bowed, and Mr. Jewell then said that tt would give the members of ‘he House pleasure to take him by the hand, to witch the Presiient acceded with a smile and a bow, ‘The mombers of the House came forward by divisions, beginning with the first division and endin, with the sixth, and with all of them the Presiden’ sLook hands. President Grant had on cream colored reception gloves. The President stood at the right side of the platform on the Moor, and Speaker Jewell just behind him on the first step, announc- ng each gentleman's name as he came up. Behind the Speaker the Clerk, Mr. Robinson, and Mr, Horn stood to suggest to the Speaker such names ag he might not remember. About two hundred gentlemen shook hands with the President within the space of ten minutes, A large number of gentiemen were aiso presented to Admiral Farra. gut, who was present in fuli uniform, President Hrant meanwhile enjoying a few moments of rest with Mr. Jewell in a seat on the platform. next to the Speaker's chair, At five minutes after tweive o'clock the Speaker cailed the House to order again, and the Presidential party retired, the President Deing followed by a round of long continued ap- plause. avaw REVIEW OF THE StaTR TROOPS. ‘The next move was from the Capitol to the Boston Nighiands, where some 4,000 troops, in command of General Butler, were reviewed by the President and Admiral Farragut, There was a caval ‘and in- Santry escort to ‘and from the Hyghtands, ad along the route there was an entiusiastic and cheer- ing crowd, Man. bie and private putidings ‘were gayly decorated, and there were also numerous mottoes of welcome to the President displayed in the southern section of the city, nearly all of them #0 In@eniously worded as to ring in his me. morable how appropriate motto of “ us have Boace.”” Ape} b Viewed be puUitary Pagegat NEW YURK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. with evident interest, and from appearauves of the auriace 1 is safe to presume that the hatchet of discord which has been generally supposed to exist between General Butler and President Grant is now buried in oblivion forever and ever. After the troops had in review the dis- tinguished guests came directly to the Coliseum to attend the musical festival of the Jubilee. ‘The ap- to the vast structure, for a circuit of a mile or more, were literally packed with human beings, and as the Presidential party was driven through the cheers and plaudits of welcome which went up from the multitude were almost deafening, Upon apri at the Coliseum there was an electric salute fired from the chorus guns, and with this thundering was combined that same incessant round of cheering and howling of the great and enthustas- tic crowus, After alighting trom their carriages the ty were escorted to the reception room, where & jew moments were spent in social intercourse, after which they repaired to an joining room and dove ample justice to a collation. When this was finished the eventful hour of three had arrived, and the great musical festivities were to commence. RECEPTION BY THE AUDIENCE IN THE COLISEUM. The general audience had already assembied; all the seats but those reserved for the invited guests were filled. The promenades. were crowded and the fifty or sixty tnousand persons were all on the qué vive for the advent of President Grant. But a mo- ment elapsed, and then the door of the partition him from the great throng and a squad of _police- men the way for the triumphant entree of the Presidential hero. He entered arm in arm with the Chairman of the Reception Comthittee, and was followed in succession by Admiral Farra- gut. Commodores Rodgers aud Winslow, of the navy; Secretary Boutwell, Speaker Blaine, Gov- ernor Claflin and a host of other naval, army and civil officials of less renown. As soon as the Presi- dent reached the broad aisle he was within the view of nearly the whole andience, and his a was the signal for a demonstration of welcome. Such cheers—so many of them and 80 loud—were never, positively never, heard before. Every individual seemed to exert bis voice and lungs to their utmost capacity, and even tue ladies were not satisfied with the simple waving of hand- kerchiefs, for they, too, mingled their delicate strains with the shouts of the sterner sex. OPENING OF THE CONCERT. For fuli five minutes this incessant din of applause was continued, and when it began to grow faint the organ and orchestra struck in with the strains of “See the Conquering Hero comes,’ and the chorus of 12,000 voices united in singing. The scene was truly one of sublimity and grandeur, and it is cer- tain that these words so loudly and so sweeily sung, by such @ colossal chorus werenever heard on an occasion more fitting and appropriate:— Seo the conquering hero comes, Bound the trumpets bext the drums; re e 0, Bonge of trumph to him sing. Bee the godlike youth advance, Breathe the flutes and lead the dances Myrtle wreaths and roses twine, ‘To deck the hero's brow divine. When the singing of this welcoming anthem was finished the audience stood up almos: involuntarily, and tn response to a 81 ition from some enthusi- astic member of the reception committee there was another round of chee! and when it was finished the musical programme of the Jubilee was begun. PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAMME. ‘The fine oid choral etne festeburg, interwoven with those grand and impressive violin harmonies of Nicholai, commenced the programme, Here the immense power of the strings was again felt. The voices came in at intervals witn the utmost preci- sion, and there was not the slightest break 1n the per- formance. Two choruses from the Messiah, “Glory to God” and “The Glory of the Lord” followed. The former was rendered partiy ineffective by being taken in andante time instead of allegro, The sec- ond was faultless in every sense of the word. The altos in particular were grand; every note uttered by them came through the mass of instruments and voices with such distinctness and precision that even the oldest musicians were astonished, The altos in the New York societies are generally the weakest of the chorus, but here they furmed the best feature In the Jubilee. Miss Adeiaide Phillips then sang a recitative and aria from Mozart, Mr. Weber playing the clari- onet obligato with rare skill and spirit. The selection of the aria was an unfortunate one for such an occa- sion, as It abounds in passages which could hardly be rendered by the haman voice with sufficiens dis- tinctness and intelligible expressioa in such a vast building. The recitative also should have been left out, for littie of it could be heard py the gudience. ‘iss Phillips’ yyive bas lost considerably in the lower nol which is generally the case when an alto @trives to force the upper register of her voice into the realms of the soprano, The air ts one of the loveliest of Mozart's melodies, and as there are few solo singers who could make themselves heard to advantage in the Coliseum, Misa Phillips can hardly be blamed for having failed in it, The chorus next sang the exquisite chorus He is watching over Israel,” from “Elijah.’? It would appear incredibie to any musician how this chorus could be rendered by suci an army Of singers, with all the expression and tenderness it demands, but such was the case. The altos were again a feature in this work. “See, the Conquering Hero Comes” was again repeated, the two being sung by a select corps of soloists. THE PRESIDENT ON THE PLATFORM. During the intermission President Grant was es- corted to the platform amid such a whirlwind of applause as sedom greets any public man. He seemed manifestly afraid of being called upon for a speech; for, after mounting the conductor's stand, he gave a timid look around and quickiy descended again to the floor, After the performance of the “Star Spangled Banner” and the ‘Anvil Chorus” the President sought refuge in the reception room, where he waited for some time closeted, with the inevitable cigar. SECOND PART OF THE PERFORMANCE. ‘The “Anvil Chorus” was much inder in effect than yesterday. At each wave of the conductor's wand came the votces of 100 anvils, the big drum, the artillery and bells and organ chorus and the orchestra. Still the sensation was not that of mere nowe, The compiete clockwork precision with which every note was given and the in- stanlancous stoppage of all ata signal give an im- ression of sublimity more than of noise. Farough ail this avaianche of sound pealed the notes of the organ, forming a coi background to the harmonious structure. Tne first and last move- ments of Schubert’s symphony in C major was on the second part of the programme. Every one knows what a singularly beautiful march commences this symphony. ‘To bear the theme given out by fifteen oboes, all in perfect unison. while the notes of the violins sounded like the pattering of rain on a zinc roof, was a treat such as has never before been offered to an American or European audience. The sixty-five ceili also surged up repeatedly in billows of sound, and in that t where the brasses give out the chor of the diminishea seventh, at regular intervals, and the rest of the _ orchestra dash against them in scale passages running through neariy every key, the was immeasurably grand. In the impetuous finale there was not ajar. Even the syncopated measures were rendered with spirit and precision. “The Heavens are Telling” ciosea the concert, and was a fitting finale to such a royal feast of music. Mme. Parepa-Rosa created a furor by her singing of the matchiess air “Let the Bright Seraphim,” from the oratorio of Sameon. Her voice appeared to better antage than it did yesterday, and filled the entire butiding. ‘The trumpet obligato of Mr. Arbuckle was a fitting accompaniment to this glorious solo. FINALE OF THE SRCOND CONCERT. Thus the second concert has turned out an entire success, and it is likely that this gigantic enterprise, which no one but an Irishman would ever dream of, as any sane man would have been scared at the thought of it, will be one of the greatest musical triumphs of the gae. DEPARTURE OF THE PRESIDENT—A BANQUET GIVEN BY THE CIty. The President had as much of an ovation when he left the Coliseum as when he entered. There were the same cheers, tie same enthusiasm and the sane tumuit generally, to all of which the General made modest and repeated bows. He was driven unme- the Revere H on this occas chair of the distinguished guest, Secretary Kout- well, Minister Thornton, Cyrus W. Field, Hon. A. H. Rice, General Banks, Commodores rs, Thatoner and Winslow, and General Benham. On the lefi were Governor Clann ene Blaine, Senator Wilson, the Minister to Hayti, Ralph W. Emerson, Governor Stearns, of New Hampshire; Admiral Farragut and Mayor Bowen, of W: |. The President remain- ed about an hour, and of course his health was pro- posed by the chairman, but he declined making a speech, as usual. He then left with Secretary Bout- well, with whotn he spends the evening, at the resi- dence of the latter at Groton Junction. fe will have a reception at Worcester to-morrow, tendered to him bv Grand Army of the Republic and the school children. SPEECH OF THR BRITISH MINISTER. Mr. Thornton, the British Minister, in response to the toast, ‘The Health of Her Majesty Queen \icto- ria,” after a few preliminary observations, spoke of the musical event of the day as a wonderful per- formance, and said that his sovereign apprec' its object, and that he more then appreciated the return of peace to this country. Some people in England, he would not deny,gthought that the dis- union of the States of this country would be but he was proud to gay that his native country, imbued with principles of honor, did not think #o at all, nor were they in sympathy with any such idea. A good mother could have no desire to see or to foment quarrels among her children. She would rather be solicitous to have them ail friends with | ber—brothers and sisters, contributing to the com- mon and living in common harmony. Some thought there could be no iriendstip founded on sentiment between England and the United States, but such was not his opinion. Such friend- ship was necessary in order that the world should see the value and advantages of liberal institu. tions, Which were the common pride of both Eng- jand and the United States, they being established here by the mother country, aad expanded far beyond her expectations. The interest of either country ought to be suimcicut in itself © make and keep an enduring friendship between them. The mutual advantages of trade and commerce demanded such friendly relation. ‘the common stock and common interests were Improved through it, Engiand must profit by the union, peace and prosperity of this country. Admiral Farragut then made a few remarks, and the festivities were continued untii a late hou! SAD OCCURRENCE IN THR COLISEUM. ‘The sad feature of the day was the sudden death of a Chicago lady, from heart disease, Sue came to the Coliseum with her husband, George tH. Duniap, Prysent gi ig Clicagy and Noruiwestera Kau- road, at about three o’clock. Mr. Dunlap conducted her to her seat and then left her for a moment, but belore he returned she feit fant. and got up for adrink of water. While in the act of rising up to receive it sie dropped down and ex- ired almost instantly. Her remains were conveyed to the reception room, her assistants poner nr that she had only tainted, but when examined it was found that an affection of the heart bad done its fatal work. Her husband was not found until a loog time after, and the sad intelligence and 113 effects nay be more easily imagined described. The fact that there was death in the building was not generally known, and the gay festivities went on as usua). The deceased was a daughter of Moses Pond, of this cite, and a sister of Jonn A.

At noon the steamer returned, when the excursionists were conveyed in carriages to Hon. H. C. Calkin’s suinmer residence, where din- ner was served, and the rest of the afcernoon passed quickly away with lively conversation upon all topics. Last night Mr. Thomas Cornel! gave a bril- liant reception at his residence in honor of his afs- tinguished guests. The Vice President and wile were of course observed by every one.

Syracuse, June 15, 1869, A terrible affair happened on the banks of Cayuga | Lake on Saturday. Two men named Donnelly and MeGuire had some dispute with regard to their physical strength, Donnelly, who is a large, heavily built man, of no particular pugtlistic skill, had fre- quently boasted that be could lick McGuire, who was a stout, Wiry man, weighing some thirty | ounds less than Donneliy, MeGaire a jocal reputation as @ boxer.

In the second round McGuire gave Donnelly a terrific upper cut and Donnelly returned it by knocking McGuire into his corner. In the third round Donnelly forced the fighting. Me- | Guire sprang away from him, but was finally knocked through the ropes. The fourth round on WASHINGTOR. The Instructions to Minister Motley. Ki, Iumner’s Opinion of Their Purport. THE PRINTERS’ SQUABBLE. The Action of the National Union Supported. Colored Physicians Refused Admission to a Medical Society. WASHINGTON, June 16, 1869, Minister Motley’s Instructions—Senator Sume her on the Question of Belligerency—Fish and Sumner at Loggerheads—The Senator's Views Not Those of the Administration. Senator Sumner ts of opinion that the person who concocted the despatch published conspicuously in a New York paper a few days ago concerning Minister Motley’s instructions and the bearing of the Sen- ator’s speech thereon ta entirely ignorant of the na- ture of the instructions and has not read the speech. Mr. Sumner, of course, refuses to divulge any of the details of Motley’s instructions, but he expresses himself as entirely satisfed with them. “If they were at variance with my views, as the despatch in question states,” he said, “J could not say they were satisfactory to me.” The Senator does not wish to enter into an argument as to whether Mr. Moticy’s instructions are based upon his speech or not. He says, however, that no man understands the principles set forth in that speech better than Mr. Motley, and the development of events will show whether or not these principles will be carried out by our Minister at the Court of St. James, Mr. Sumner did not want Mr. Motley instructed to fly in the face of the Briush Minister immediately on his arrival in England, and demand the instant payment of the Alabama claims bill, Mr, Movley, Sumner says, will not dodge the question, He 1s to use his own discretion as to the time of reopening negotiations. To wait for the Eng- lish government to take the initiative, as the despatch in question says Mr. Motley is instructed, would, in Sumner’s opinion, not only insure a perpetual post- ponement of the claims, but, in view of the position taken by our government, exhibit an unprecedented cowardice upon our part before tne world. Eng- land, Mr. Sumuer thinks, is m no hurry to reopen negotiations. 1i would suit her if they never should be opened, She knows she is in une wrong, and that whenever the settlement comes tt must go against her. Anything like timidity, in dealing with England, the Senator says, will not do, There 1s nothing to be gained by it, Her whole history shows that it was no part of ber policy to make concessions where she suspected weakness in the nation with which she treated, Mr. Sumner does not think the people of the United States are in a humor to tolerate any halt- ing policy on the subject of the Alabama claims. The will of the people has been so clearly expressed on the subject that the administration cannot mistake it, With regard to the question of belligerency and the ciaims of our government as a government against Great Britain, Mr. Sumner says he has been misunderstood in his speech, He ridi- cule’ the idea of Minister Motley presenting his bill of damages against Great Britain in any other shape than as coming from our government. The nego- tlations and we settlement must be between the two governments as governments. Mr. Sumner holds that when Great Britain recognized the revels as belligerents they were not belligerents in point of fact, nor according to the plainest interpretation of international law; nor did they acquire the necessary qualifications of belligerents until Great Britaio fur- nished them with ships, such as the Alabama. Herein he holds the British recognition of the revels as entirely different from that of France, It is on this account that the question of belligerency enters into the settlement of the Alabama claims. Mr. Sumner says Mr. Motley understands the ques- tion in this light. He did not say, lowever, or rather he would not commit himself, as to whether Mr. Motley was instructed according to his views on this point. He says Motley and he frequently dis- cussed this aspect of the question, and they enter- tained the same views. While these are undoubtedly the views of Mr. Sumner on this important question, it 18 nevertheless 2 fact that the friends of Secretary Fish claim tiat he (Fish) has completely checkmated the Massachusetts Senator in the matter of Mot- ley’s instructions. These friends of Fish hesitate not to declare that there was a sharp contest be- tween him and Sumner as to what instructions should be given to Minister Motley, and that Fish’s influence with the President was found to be 80 strong that Sumner failed en- Urey in his eiforts to have his views adopted asthe policy of the administration. Fur- ther, itis said that Fish himself chuckles over his victory in the game of diplomacy with the Senatorial autocrat of our foreign relations. These two stories are so entirely antagonisuc, and each is urged with such @ show of reliability and earnestness, that one knows not which should be received with the greater weight. As Andy Johnson would say, ‘The query comes up, Which is which? Florida Ratifies the Fifteenth Amendment, Information has been received that the fifteenth amendinent to the Constitution of tie United States has been ratified by both houses of the Florida Legis- lature. The vote iu the Assembiy was 26 ag inst 15, and in the Senate 13 against 8.

Daniel Boone won the premum in the first race and India Rubber Ben and Lady Walton won the prize for double teams in the second, after an exceedingly spirited contest of five heats, with Honest Allen and Myron Perry. Seven out of the nine entries started in the first race, which made it an extremely interesting affair throughout, aithough no more than three charged twenty-five or thirty competent white com- Positors, It is even said by some typos here that a Majority of the printers at the government printing ofice do not sustain the action of the meeting yester- day, and imtend to have a meeting of their own, to let the public Know their real sentiments, particu- jarly on the African question, which they boldly de- clare they cannot swallow. The District printers generally are also to hold a meeting at an early day, when a resolution will be adopted against the admis- sion of the negro into the Columbia Typographical Union and denunciatory of the sentiments expressed yesterday.

As a recently published statement is obviously in- correct and calculated to misiead settlers and alarm certain railroad parties, as to rights acquired by them, it seems necessary, for the information of Kan- sas parties now here, to say that Congress in Aprii last passed an act declaring that settiers residing upon lands sold by the Osage Indians to the United States, by the treaty of September, 1865, and pro- claimed in January, 1867, should ‘have the right to purchase the same In tracts not exceeding 160 acres, at $1 25 per acre, within two years from the passage of the act, provided, however, that nothing in this act shall be construed in any manner affecting any legal rights heretofore vested in any other party 8, 1867, that the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galves- ton Railroad and the Union Pacific southern branch) were entitied to the government grant through these lands along the:line of their roads, The decision was received at the jocal land ofce at Humboldt, Kansas, February 4, is6s, and this was tne day the odd sections were considered as withdrawh from sale.
