T GREELEY IN MAINE. Journey of the Philosopher from Gorham to “Away Down East.” Pleasantries and Unpleasant- ries En Route. Enthusiasm, Gunpowder, Music, Bunting and a Procession at Portland, Sweat Introducing the Sage at City Hall. THE SAGE TALKING POLITICS, PORTLAND, Me., August 14, 1672, Mr. Greeley left Gorham this morning at about a quarter of eleven, on the Grand Trunk Railway, for Portiand. The people of Gorham, summer resi- dents and all, who had taken occasion during the evening to make the personal acquaintance of the Sage, turned ont en masse to give hima parting cheer. A new sort of salute was improvised to speed the parting guest, being nothing less than aseries of Union torpedoes under the wheels of the cars, which kept up a rattling fusilade in honor of the great Sage. As the train moved off cheer up- on cheer followed in the far wake of the train and banners fluttered from the windows even until the Pullman car in which he and his party were ac- commodated had been lost to the view of the Gorhamites in the great valleys of the New Hamp- shire mountains. a Mr. Greeley was accompanied in the train by Mr, 3. H, Hamlin, a member of the Cincinnati Conven- tion, Nathan Cleves and J. S. Palmer, all prominent. citizens of Portland, who comprised the sub-com- mittee sent to Gorham by the people of Portland to recelve him. In addition to these were Colonel H, 0. Kent and a number of gentlemen of Gorham con- nected with the liberal republican movement, Bethel was the first station at which the train stop- ped on the route. It merely stopped for a moment, but the station platform was crowded and the Phi- losopher was loudly called for, but time was short and he failed to appear. He was discovered at the window, however, and the crowd pushed their way to the window and there nearly WRUNG THE GREAT MAN’S ARM OFF, At South Paris, where the passengers stop for dinner, there were a great crowd and an immense demonstration for so small aplace, Here again the crowd contented themselves with shaking the hand of the Philosopher, instead of demanding a speech, and the sentiments among the bystanders were unique. “That's him,” said several; “that’s him,with the old white hat.” “We are all right for.you here, Horace,” said another. A lady presented him with a handsome bouquet here, which the old farmer stuck quietly in his buttonhole. At Mechanics’ Falls, a place-of some size, the demonstration was immense, the unfortunates out- side crushing themselves and their friends in the effort to reach and: shake hands with the Chappa- quan Sage. He went out on the platform and shook hands with the people, but declined to speak. It might have been that he was saving him- self for a greater effort; but the fact is, he shows no exhaustion of ideas no matter how many speeches he makes. At Danville Junction there is ‘no station at all, only a janction, and here just six men, gathered from the wild country thereabouts, were assembled. They shook hands, too, with the Philosopher, and once of them said, “There are ONLY SIX OF US HERE, MR, GREELEY, but, by jingo, you've got two-thirds of ‘em.” At Yarmouth there were guns fired, banners were flying, a band playing and all the people round about were gathered on the platform. The chief was conducted from the Pullman Palace platform to the platform of the station, and there breasted a perfect storm of hand shaking and congratulation. Another bouquet was presented to him and another, ana then several more, until the Sage, with horticultural decorations blossomed, as we say of beauty, and Suggested the idea that he might learn possibly on this trip as much about flower gardening as he already knows about farming. AT PORTLAND THE GREAT OVATION and the great event of the day—and possibly of the campaign—awaited him. Five miles out there were indications of the excitement that was seething in the city. There were Greeley flags futtering outside the suburbs, and little knots of men waving their hats here and there. As the train slackened on its approach to the depot men could be observed running from all directions in order to be in at the debarka- tion of the chief. In the meantime the liberal leader had been reclining in a Pullman car seat, reading a still later New York paper that had met him at Mechanics Falls, and was not disturbed by the threatening eruption until the train glided softly into the dark recesses of the depot; and ex-Congressman L. D. M. Sweat and Mr. W. H, Clifford, a democratic candidate for Congressman waited upon him and announced that the hospitalities of the city awaited him. The Sage, then wearing his historical white hat, his black alpaca coat, white vest and black pants, and carrying his white overcoat on his arm, escorted by these distinguished gentlemen, emerged from the car, and was at once swallowed up, 80 to speak, in the seething mass of enthusiastc human- ity which jammed the depot in every part. The moment HIS WELL-KNOWN FACE PEEPRD OCT from the shelter of the Pullman car three cheers, that came near rending the roof off the depot, went up and acrowd gathered about him. The police arrangements were hardly sufficient to make an egress for him and his party; and in another part of the depot two women fainted from the great crush and children could be heard crying piteously in every direction. It was deemed necesssry, in order to secure an unobstructed pas- sage through the city, that more police men should be summoned, and during the inter val Mr. Greeley was escorted to the Superintendent's oMce, where he was waited upon by Governor Kimball, Commodore Churchill, Dr. Gordon and other prominent citizens, In a few moments the POLICE AND CARRIAGES were ready, and Mr. Greeley, accompanied by Con- gressman Sweat, took aseat in the first carriage, an open vehicle, while Governor Kimball, Nathan Cleves, Bion Bradbury and others, including the representatives of the New York press, followed in the rest. Six open carriages comprised the procession. Up India street they drove, preceded by O’Conor’s Boston Band, in full uniform, and down Congress street to the City Hall. In every house the windows were packed with spectators; on every lamppost were stationed men and boys, and crowding was carried on right up to the wheels of the carriages and almost under the horses’ feet. The populace, amounting to ten thou- sand, of all ages and sexes, crowded to get a view of the city’s guest, AT THE CITY HALL the jam was beyond estimation. A strong cordon of police sufficed to open @ passage for Mr. Greeley and his friends to the interior. There as great a crowd awaited them. In the principal room, which serves, with its gallery, a8 a great reception room for all such occasions, at least four thousand people were assembled, having apparently waited many hours to secure their seats, and many persons of note were seated upon the platform. At about half- past three Mr. Greeley, accompanied by Governor Kimball and Mr. Sweat, appeared, and the enthusi- astic cheers almost shook the roof of the building. The ladies in the gallery waved their handkerchiefs and bouquets, while the men yelled and stamped. The band played “See. the Conquering Hero Comes." Through this demonstration the Sage blandly smiled and nodded. A FORMAL INTRODUCTION. Aé the conclusion Mr. L. M. D. Sweat came to the front and introduced Mr. Greeley as follows:— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—This occasion is in- tended as a social rather than a political one. The Committee of Reception met our distinguished vis- itor at the cars and have taken him, fatigued from’his long journey, to this hall, in order that he may me those of his friends who will wish to speak tohim. In my judgment, it would be a breach of good taste for me to inflict one of my political speeches upon you. My duty is asimple and a pleas- ant one—that of introducing to you a son of New England, known inevery hamlet and enshrined in the heart of the whole American people. He does not come as & miiitary chieftain or a great hero, but @ humble private inthe army that is figuting for ace. J introduce to you one who is loved by all ‘ause he loves them—Horace Greeley, GREELEY'S POLITICAL SPEECH. Then Mr. Greeley rose and advanced to the little table amid cheers and hurrahs that were loud enough to deafen him. Tho uproar lasted for at least two minutes, and during the interval the Sage continued bowing and handling his manuscript. It is the frat time the Sage ever wrote a speech Probably. He is so much better at off-hand speaking thatifhe had not an unusually important commu- nication to make he would not ever write one. You may judge, then, of the political significance of this speech. He spoke as follows:— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—It is certain that throughout the course of my life, as far as I have been connected with public affairs, 1 have strug- ‘led with such capacity as God has given me for, rst; impartial and universal liberty; second, for the unity and greatness of our comimon country; third, and by no means least, when the former end was attained, for early and hearty reconciliation and peace among our countrymen—ior these great ends I have straggied and 1 hope the tssue is not doubt.ul. I thoroughly comprehend that no personal consideration has drawn this vast assem! other higher and grander considerations have collected you uround me to-day together. It is a part of the unwritten law of our country that acandidate for President may not make speeches in vindication and commendation of the principle whereupon he 1s supported, or of the measures which his election is intended bo eet though & candidate for Vice President is under no such inhibition. I acquiesce in this restriction; 1 re- cognize and affirin its propricty. THE TEMPTATION TO MISREPORT and misrepresent a candidate for the higher post is so great, the means of circulating such per- versions among people who will never see 8 word of their retutation are so vast, that a candidate has no moral right to subject his friends to the perils he must brave, not invite, by taking a part in the canvass; yet there is ® truth to be uttered in behalf of those who have placed me before the American people in my ieee attitude, which docs them such honor that claim the privilege of stating it here; and now this is that truth, No person has ever yet made the fact known that he purposed to support or ac- tually did support my nomination, whether at Cin- cinnati, at Baltimore, or in the action which re- epitet in sending delegates to either Convention, BASIS OF A CLAIM TO OFFICR at my hands; no one who favored my nomination before either convention or at cither convention has sought oftice at my hands, either for himself or any one else, nor has any one suggested to me that z mh a Strengthen myself as a candidate by promising to appoint any one to any important Office, whatever. In a very few instances, less than a dozen I am sure, certain of the smaller {ry of politicians have since my double nomination hinted to me by letter that might increase my chance of election, by promising @ post office or some such place to my volunteer correspondent respectively. have not usually re- sponded to those overtures, but I now give a gen- eral novice that should I be elected I will consider the claims of those untimely aspirants after those of the more modest and reticent, whenI shall have been fully satisfied. In two or three instances ve been asked to say whether I would or would , if elected, confine my appointments to repub- licans., I answer those by pointing to that plank of the Cincinnati platform wherein all who con- cur in the principles therein set forth are cordially invited to participate in their establishment and vindication. I never yet heard of a man who in- vited his neighbors to raise a house and proceeded to kick them out of it 80 soon as the roof was fairly over his head; for my own part I recognize every honest man who approves and adheres to the Cin- cinnati ipiatiorm a8 my political brotier, and such full entitled to my confidence and friendly regard, ONE OTHER POINT demands a word. Those adverse to me ask what Picdges Ihave given to those lately hostile to the ion to secure their favor and support, I answer, no mau or woman in all the South ever asked of me whether, directly or serene another, any other pledge than is given through all my acts and words. rom the hour of Lee’s surrender down to this moment no Southern man ever hinted to me an expectation, hope or wish that the rebel deb: whether Confederate or State, should: be ‘assume: or paid by the Union, and no Southern’ man who could be elected to a Legislature or made col- onel of a militia regiment ever suggested the pensioning of rebel soldiers, or any of them, even as a remote possibility. All who nominated me were perfectly aware that I had up- held and justified federal legislation to yee oy Klux conspiracy and outrage, though I had long azo insisted as strenuously as [ now do that com- plete amnesty and a genuine oblivion of THE BLOODY, HATBFUL PAST would do more for the suppression and utter ex- tinction of such outrages than all the force bills and Suspension of habeas carpus ever devised by men. rol nd crime must be suppressed and yunished, but far wiser and nobler is the legisia- jon, the policy by which Lue § are pre- vented. From thcse who support me in the South I have heard but one demand—justico; but one desire—reconciliation. They wish to be heartily reunited and at peace with the North on any terms which di not involve the surrender of their manhood. They ask that they should be regarded and treated ag any federal authority as citizens, not.culprits, 80 long as they obey and uphold every law con- sistent with equality and right, They desire a rule which, alike for white and black, shall encourage industry and thrift and discour- age ray ity and villainy. They cherish a joytul hope, which I fully concur, that between the 5th of November and the 4th of March next, quite a number of the Governors and other digni- taries, who, in the absurd name of republican! and loyalty, have for years been piling debts and taxes upon their war wasted States, will tollow the wholesome EXAMPLE OF BULLOCK, OF GEORGIA, and seek the shades of private life. The darker and darker those shades the Letter for themselves and for mankind, and the hope that my election may the much desired heigira of Saevine carpet-l rs has reconciled to the necessity of gia me many who’ wonld otherwise have hesitated and probably refused.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 14, 1872, The steamship Japan, from China and Japan, ar- rived to-day, She brought 13,190 packages of tea for New York, 1,027 for Boston, 588 for Montreal and 811 for St, Louis, The following passengers arrived on the Japan:— For New York—F.

The Mikado continues his visits to the several shrines at Kioto, his former residence, Isaka and Hiogo, and is now on his way to Nagasaki. His Majesty dresses in a foreign style, with an ample supply of gold braid, and has several at- tendants, who are similarly attired. The natives look with amazement at the changes inaugurated through the late civil war. The country 1s quict and all seem to acquiesce in the present state of affairs, The Mikado is accompanied on his trip by eight men-ol-war. COREA INDIGNANT AND HOSTILE. Much comment has been made on the letter from Corea which has been received by the Mikado. Corea spurns the Japanese demand and offers to fight at any moment, and even threatens to attack Japan. The letter of the Mikado, on assuming power in Japan, to the Coreans, demanding tribute, was torn up and scattered with contempt. One of the Ambassadors of Japan was imprisoned and the other sent back to convey the: threats of the Coreans and their contempt for the new rule, The letter of the Mikado was sent three years ago, since which time America attempted to make a treaty with Corea. Foreigners complain that had the Japanese been friendly disposed towards the United States they would have informed the Americans of the state of affairs in Corea, and thus have avoided a defeat of America’s intentions there, But Japanese pride and Japanese secrecy alike forbade, it is said, the exercise of candor. WHOLESALE MURDER BY POLICEMEN, A family of eleven persons were murdered in Yesso.

Meeting of the New Commissioners—Gov- ernor Parker and the Attorney General on the Situation—Feeling in Jersey City. The new Police Commissioners of Jersey City held a meéting yesterday afternoon to take meas- ures for securing the position to which they were appointed by the Governor. The meeting was an- nounced to be strictly private, in order that the Bohemians, who’ are perpetually after the Commis- sioners, might be eluded. The entire proceedings were made known to the Heratp reporter, but as they relate entirely to the measures by which the new Commissioners intend to march upon the enemy they are withheld from publication, lest the reporter might be charged with conveying im- portant information to the enemy. Two of the Commissioners urged vigorous meas- ures, one was exceedingly cautious and the fourth ‘was non-committal. They agreed that a document should be drawn up and sent to the Governor, set- ting forth their case in such a strong light that he as honorable and excellency. (Applause.)

At the conclusion Mr. Greeley sat down amidsg a storm of cheers that has never been heard befote in the walls of the City Hall of Portland. He was warmly greeted by the citizens who sat behind him, and the audience in front at once scaled the platform and put him through an ordeal of hand-shaking almost before he knew it. He was kept here for half an hour, undergoing this mattyf- dom, and then, at five o'clock, was driven to the Falmouth House, where HE WAS TENDERED A DINNER at half-past six to-night. Congressman Sweet sat the head of the table, Mr. Greeley occupying his right, while Governor Kimball gat opposite, and Commodore Churchill sat next to him and Mr. Bradbury occupied the foot. Among the dis- Kofta guests were Mr. F. B. Sanborn, Captain ht and others, To-night, notwithstanding the heavy rain, the two clubs—democratic and liberal republican—of the city are serenading the re, and a@ large crowd, protecting themselves from the weather with umbrellas, are patiently waiting in front of the Falmouth House. SPRENADING GREELEY. The Boston Brass Band, escorting about a thon- sand citizens belonging to the Liberal Republican 1d Democratic Clubs of Portland, presented itself at the Falmouth Hotel a few minutes after nine o'clock to-night and layed in honor of the distinguished guest, ‘olonel Sweat went on the balcony under protection of an umbrella and attempted to apd! eae for Mr, Greeley, saying that he was tired and felt more like going to rest than speal , but the crowd was not to be put oif that ‘way, and Mr. Greeley was compelled to come forth. “Colonet Sweat then introduced him, holding an umbrella over them, and after a round of damp but rousing cheers MR, GREELEY SPOKE, He said a few words in apology for his imabiltt to speak, owing to fatigue and the weather, au then continued :—"'The si ixty years that have over my head have taught me broader charity and kinditer consideration for those with whom I have differed. I have learned to believe that there m: be son on the opposite side, In my life and time have auned to do what was right, often doubtless being mistaken, often gricving old friends and an a other friends and sometimes turning a few to downright enemies; and while thas with end while tuus without hoping to be infallible I the pr 8% a large share of public criticism, which points to an ab of the public carcer of that gentleman, who had been, upto that point, a most excellent and upright city officer, His apparent alliance with the only remnant of the Ring now in Jersey City has egg public indignation to @ high pitch inst . “Governor Parker, when called upon by @ HERALD reporter on Tuesday in reference to this matter, Stated that he would leave the matter to the Su: ee Court, which will meet in October. He had een advised by the pacer es General that he had discharged his duty when he made the appoint- ments. Both the Governor and ‘his Attorney Gen- eral shrink from the adoption of any vigorous meaaares, although the latter declares emphatically that, the convicted Commissioners have not the 8] w of aright to continue in office. He adds that every act they Nave done since that conviction, and may do hereafter, is clearly illegal, and for every such act they render themselves Jiable to in- dictment. Yet the Governor hesitates to rout by the power at his command the men who laugh to scorn his writ, and who used contemptuous lan- guage regarding his authority. ‘The fee: in Jersey City on this question is a mixture of indignation and disgust. The people cannot understand how men who were convicted ofrobbing the public treasury are permitted to continue in office, nor can tlcy realize that the once inflexible Parker lapses into timidity in pres- ence of @ handful of men who have forfeited all re- | spect in the community. Both the Governor and the Attorney General are severely criticised for their supineness in this business. THE TARIFF DUTIES. WASHINGTON, August 14, 1872. The Treasury Department to-day addressed a let- ter to Collector Arthur, at New York, recalling the decision in reference to jute rejections. Under the Old Tariff act jute rejections were classified with Jute butts and paid a duty of $6 per ton. The new tariff put jute butts on the free jist, but no provi- sion was made for jute rejections, It was the opinion of the Treasury Department a few days smce that the latter imports were cutitied to classi- fication with the former; but to-day it was ascer- tained that the Supreme Court had decided years ago that nnenumerated tariff articles could not be Made to assimilate with articies put on the free Hist, and consequently the Depertment is compelled to rnle that jute rejections must pay a duty of $15 Rita ton, the amount of duty on unmanulactured SUNSHINE AND STORM The Remarkable Weather of Yosterday—Ef- fect of the Heat—Fatal Oases of Sun- stroke—A List of Oases at the Hos- pitals in the Gity and Suburbs.

Persons who could semain indoors yesterday closed their shutters and lay back and fanned them- selves all day; but the oppressive airawithin seemed almost leas preferable than the scorching rays out- side with a chance of a breeze. People outside longed to get indoors and eagerly sought the shady side of the streets. The barrooms, the hotels, the drug stores—everywhere wiere rest and shade could be found, with “A GLASS OF SOMETHING COOL," were filled with half-scorched human beings. Shirt collars and scarfs were at a discount with men, and the few ladies who appeared on the steets were in the most provokingly cool costumes.
