ALBANY, N, Y., August 9, 1872, The Presidential party left Lake George early this morning and arrived at Giens Falls at ten A. M., when the usual demonstrations, including the inevitable public reception and hand-shaking took Place at the Rockwell House. At two o’clock P.M. the party started for Sara- toga and spent a few hours at the renowned water- ing place, which the President thinks not half as enjoyable as Long Branch for a summer resort. After enjoying the hospitalitics of Congress Hall and enduring soms reception miseries the Presi- dent and his friends again took the train for Al- bany, so as to connect with the night boat here for New York, At half-past five this evening the Republican Com- mittee held a meeting at thetr rooms on Broadway and arranged that several of their members should Start outus & reception committee to meet the President at the junction, some sixteen miles above this city, and tender him a reception. Tho party Started at six o'clock, and soon after arrived at the junction. It consisted of ex-Senator Ramsey, Charles E, Smith, William Keyse, ©. P. Easton, Dr. W. H. Cratg, Captain Thompson, Frank Chamber- lain, Charles P, Rathbone and several private citi- zens of Albany. At the depot I met Supervisor Dutcher, of New York, but as he was only a “New Yorker” he would not join the Albany party to Meet the President, Mr. Lathrop, chairman of tho committce, remained in Albany to organize a re- ception procession, The above-mentioned parties Were joined at Cohoes by Mayor Johnston and four Aldermen of that town. The receptionists met the Presidential party at the junction at 4 quarter to cight o’clock and were duly introdcced, and then Mayor Johnston ad- dressed the President a few well chosen words of welcome to Cohoos. The Mayor was followed b; Senator Ramsey with a simular address on behaif of the people ot sian The President made a characteristically brief reply to both gentlemen and their accompanying delegations, and then the train moved on to Al- bany. There the party were met by John G. Burch, President of the Albany Board of Aldermen, who, in the absence of the Mayor, extended to the Presi: dent the official welcome of the city. Half the people of the city of Albany gathered around the depot, and, headed by a brass band, as usual, conveyed the distinguished guests of an hour to the boat Drew, which soon afterwards took its departure amid tremendous cheering. NORTH CAROLINA. The Probabic Republican Majority—An Editor’s House Fired Into by Unknown Partics. ‘ RALgian, August 9, 1872. Everything ts quiet to-day. It is quite certain the republican majority will reach 1,200 or 1,500. The residence of Josiah Turner, Jr., editor of the Sentinel, at Hillsboro, was fired into last night, the ball passing through the window of his wife's chamber. Mr. Turner left this city this evening for home, in consequence. The perpetrator of the deed isnot known. This is the second time such shoot- ing has been done. WHITE ON BLACKS. A Member of the St. Domingo Commis- sion Replies to Sumner’s Recent Strte- ment in Reference to Grant’s Treatment of Fred Douglass. ALBANY, N. Y., August 9, 1872. Mr. Andrew D. White, who was a member of tte St. Domingo Commission, on the 3d inst. ad- dressed a letter to the Rev. J. W. Lognen, Bishop of the African Mcthodist Episcopal Church, in which he replies to the statements in the late letter of Senator Sumner concerning the ill treatment of Fred Douglass by that Commission. He says the President attached two secreturies to ene Couimis- sion, selecting General Sigel as one and Fred Douginss as the other, ignoring a large number of white men who wanted the position. Orders were then given, which were known to proceed from the President, that Dougiass should be treated as honorably and be provided for as comfortably as the most favored Persons In the expedition. Dougless was given a room in the Admiral’s cabin, adjoining those of the Commission, and was assigned a position at table in the Admirat’s dining room wita the Commission, and was treated In all respects as well as the best during the stay of the Commission at the St. Do- minican capital. Douglass lived at their house and sat at their table, After landing at Charleston this treatment con- tinued. When they were embarked upon the Poto- mac steamer the Commissioners, Lise seated | themselves at the public table, found that Douglass was not with them. On inquiry they learned that he had been refused admittance to the dining room on account of his color. Having remonstrated against this in vain, the Commissioners and ailimmediately connected with them left the table, On arriving in Washington both Dongacs and Sigel left for their homes, their duties having ended, It was then that the Commission were invited to dine with the | President, and had Dougiass and Sigel becn in the city Mr. White has no doubt they word have been included in the invitation, Mr. While expresses | great surprise that Mr. Sumner should have per- ve. ted the facts in the case 80 grossly. THE LOUISIANA CONVENTION, Warmoth’s Latest Coup—He Declines a Nomination at the Hanis of His Friends, and Gives Way in Favor of a Young Planter. New ORLeans, August 9, 1872. After three days’ earnest consultation with the democrats the Pinchback republicans in the Liberal Convention to-day, in despair of effecting any compromise whatever, pro- ceeded to a nomination, and unanimously put forward Colonel Davidson B. Penn, a young merchant planter of Orleans, as its candidate for Governor. Previous to the nomination Warmoth made a telling speech, declining to be a candidate. Its reception was enthusiastic peyond precedent, and he, in company with the candidate, was followed to the St. Charles by acheering crowd of people. To-night the city is alive with excitement. Colonel Penn was sere- naded at the St. Charles Hotel, and several cuthusi- astic speeches were made in response. Warmoth has made a great political hit. At one stroke he has leaped to ee popularity. To-mor- row the Convention will conciude its session by nominating @ straight liberal ticket, upon whicu both races will be represented, “POLITICAL NOTES, The republicans of Portsmouth, N.

The Philosopher Taking Matters Quietly st Brad- ford—A Sleepy, Lasy Villago—Horace | Answering Letters and En- joying Himself. Braprorp, N. H., August 9, 1872. Mr. Greeley is at present resting at the grand houre of Colone! Tappan, in the shady recésecs of this sleepy little New Hampshire village. The Sage takes his rest here, as he takes it everywhere, by hard work. He has been answering letters all the morning, receiving a few village visitors, looking Over the farm witi Colonel Tappan, and otherwise’ conducting himself as philosophers in search of reat: from the wearisome troubles of the world have |) done before him for ages past. In his pursuit of real rest the Sage could have chosen no better place than this. Itis NOT THE TYPICAL NEW ENGLAND VILLAGB, with thrift, enterpriso, spinning and weaving at every door, and housewifery bustle apparent at every window. It is adrowsy Rip Van Winkle of @ village; it sleeps all through the day and night, and the quiet and order of the Sabbath lasts all the Week, There is not the sound of a hammer heard to-day in its limits; no racket of mill wheel, no passing to and fro of buay operatives. The village topers speak in whispers about Uncle Horace on the front porch of the village tavern, and the landiord gets around leisurely in list: slippers, as if he was a mouse in @ hospital. The Greeley and Brown flags, in all thelr bright newnoss, lack energy to get up a hearty fap, and even the rail- road trains, which arrive every six or seven hours, pass atong more lazily than railroad trains auywhere else. Everybody and everything is lazy and lifeless, except the one man who came here especially to take rest, and to invite his soul to loaf, Even the influcnce of the silent little village CAN'T PERSUADE THE GOOD SAGE out of that busy life that bas becn his for fifty years. The village is not actually uninteresting, Its houses are so embedded in shade trees and gar- den that one can’t discover at a glence how much of a village it is; but its houses, when you tind them, are clean and neat frames, the grounds are generally tasty, and though the roads are dusty to- day, with the thermometer at 100, and glare like diamonds of sand in the sun's rays, there are some well shaded drives along the edge of the river, some inviting wood hills on the outskirt and at least two hand- some lakes, Ten miles away clearly visible looms up the Kearsarge Mountain, which gave name to the destroyer of tie Alabama, Mr. Mason W. Tappan lives “down the road,” as the villagers term it, a few rods from the village tavern—that is, about a thousand yards away—in @ tasty frame mansion of two stories in height, Standing just back of the road, away in the midst of a lawn and garden and in front of a shady wood, bordering on the river, where there is a githering of oaks and hemiocks that greet the grateful cyes of the wearied Sage whenever he fooks from the busy writing that engrosses him. The house at present is hung with American ban- hers, one being entwined about the balcony, another pendent about the gate anda third list- lessly hanging across the road in front. Colonel Tappan served in Congress with Horace Greeley, having been elected as a republican, and it ts be- Ueved that his favoring Greeley’s election will in- fluence the district greatly. Last night at midnight a brilliant anrora norealis was visible, directly over head, of such magnificent beanty thst the Philosopher was called from his bed to witness it. Whatever it may be, the sign of a political revoiution or otherwise, the Sage saw nothing but beauty and grandeur in the display. Among the visitors who called upon him to-day was Mr. F. B. Sancdborn, of Springfeld, republican Senator B. Wadleigh was in town, but failed to call. He is an intense Grant man, and returned to his home in Miltord as soon as he discovered what a hearty reception Mr. Greeley had received here, This evening Mr. Greeley drove out wi Colonel Tappan to the beautiful Sunapee Lake, o pearing in public for the first time siace his noml- PAHO TAME gathering an enthusiastic crowd in MR, WICKHAW’S RESIGNATION, To THE DEMOcRATIO Reers= VENERAL COMMIT- TER:— In January last, when you unanimously elected me your chairman, I accepted the position with the distinct avowal on my part “that it should not be a committec organized in the interests ofany one man or set of men and subject to their manipula- tion, but a committee whose labors should be unceasing in behalf of reform and the best interests of the democratic party.” Recent events have convinced me that an effort is making to use the organization as an instrument of personal ambition, and this, too, by methods that not only sacrifice democratic prin- ciples, but will put inextreme pertl, if not utterly ruin, the movements for reform in this city. While ready at all times to employ my best energies in seconding for our city an honest, wise and eificient government, I also desire to use every honorable effort to aid in the election of Horace Greeley aud b. Gratz Brown, tho candidates of the democratic party for President and Vice President. Believing that fidelity to the cause of municipal reform is entirely compatible with allegiance to the democratic party, Lcannot consent to remain at the head of an organization, some of whose prom- inent members ave willing to combine with its enemies for the defeat of its national candidates, After careful consideration, and in accordance with the advice of friends in whose judgment I confide, and with a full appreciation of the many acts of kindness and courtesy I have received from the committee, [ bog leave to tender my resigna- tion as its chairman, to take effect from this date.

Anti-Creeleyites on North Carolina. EFFORTS OF THE ORATORS. Senator Doolittle Transformed Into a Perfect Machiavelli. Lewiston, Me., August 7, 1872. The September election in Maine, preceding the Presidential turnout, has been regarded with a great deal of interest by all parties ever since our political or partisan system was organized. It has been looked upon as the precursor, the ploneer, the leading “Star in the East’ which will point the way for other States to follow in the grand crisis and general crash of the coming November. Hence it is that Maine, above all other States, not except- ing the “Old Tar state’’—North Carolina—is at this moment an object of intense interest to politicians all over the country. The ACTUAL RESULT IN NORTH CAROLINA has had a damaging effect among the democratic leaders in this State. The high-sounding ctaim of 15,090 majority for the democratic candidate for Governor gave an immense impetus to the great tidal wave that was surging on in favor of Horace Greeley. But now that that majority is reduced to @ sum total on the other side, the antt-Grecley People are inspired with fresh hopes, and a break- water 1s erected which, if it be not “fenced up to heaven,” is, nevertheless, suffictent to stay the progress of that great “wave” ere the helghts of Mount Desert or the rocky cliffs of old Monadnock are submerged, THE PEOPLE OF MAINE are, to borrow the words of the Prophet Moses, a “‘stifnecked”” race. When they get an idea into their heads it is there planted as solidly as the granite blocks of the New York City Post Omice, which, by the way, are quarried inthis State. It was a terrible job to eradicate the old Jacksonian democratic sentiment which prevailed up to tho time when the State went Hell bent For Governor Kent and Tippecanoe and Tyler, too. Aud to this day, unlike the sturdy Dutchmen of Berks county, Pennsylvania, who still vote for the Hero of New Orleans, they almost cease to remem- ber that there ever lived sucha man as General Jackson, or that his principles were at one time thetr ideality of republican and democratic per- evo ae me ela with which they ve § he later republica: ticularly to that R oe ee WISE AND SALUTARY MEASURE (for inebriates), the Maine Liquor law. ‘This law is both leved and deprecated by all parties in this State.

No doubt this law acts adversely to the interests of a large class of peopie, kecping away, as tt does, the active and progressive, but retaining the sober and pious and, possibly, lazy branches of population, 0 party, t repeat, can go before the people of Maine and champion the repeal of this law and be rewarded by success, At the samggtime the candid men of all parties in their best. ment believe that the law is tyrannical! and abominable and only suitable for the feudal ages, if any feudal age was ever fool enough to “ob a poor man of his beer,” FOCULAE 48 CREEUMY 18, there are plenty of people here who do not regard hin asa molten image before which they must prostrate themselves and worship. The democi will generally swaliow him; but, as the man said about the crow as adiet, they do not “hanker after him.” There is, therefore, no particular neces- sity for democratic speakers to come into the State and exhort democrats to stand by the nomi- nations of thelr National Convention. ‘They will do 80 almost en masse. It is only among the WAVERING REPUBLICANS where converts to the Greeley standard are to be made, and what prospect there is for success in that respect cannot be better illustrated than by iny giving a brief report of a few interviews [ have already had among the peo} MOW THE PEOPLE TALK. “Neighbor, how are things looking about here?’ “What things?” (Remember we are in Yankee land, where people auswer one question by asking another.) “polities and such things.” “Well, as to that matter, we are all going to stick to Grant about here (region of Kennebeck).” “Ig that the general feeling?” ANOTHER NEIGHBOR, INTERPOSING:— “Not by a darued sight.’ “What are your views, my friend!’ “My views? I don’t know what you mean by ‘views,’ but I'll tell you what I calculate on, and | that’s just this:—Greeley is our man, and they are only plaguey fools who don’t think so, Some of our feliows have GOT TAPEWORMS IN THEIR STOMACTIS and are all the time talking to Dr. Edward Mason But It isn’t physic they want. They require to be dosed with sound democratic doctrine, the principal ingredient of which 1s ‘standing by Or ake nominations,’ That's what's the matter, Old Greeley got the reg’lar democratic norination at Baltimore, and I am going to stick to him, by ginger!” At th noment a venerable looking individual, with a stuf, stand-up shirt collar and a Revolution- ary cravat, addressing the last speaker, ejaculated— “Young man, are you a Christian ?”” “No, old loss.

Some ditliculty.is apprehended lest he may be unable to procure a residence of suMcient capacity to meet the demands of his household. It is the intention of the French gev- ernment to be represented on a scale somewhat in advance of what has heretofore prevailed, and the entertainments of the French Minister are antici- pated among the most brilliant to be enjoyed at the capital.
