ENGLAND. A Grand Municipal Show Day Fete in the Metropolis. Premier Disraeli’s Pronouncement of the Pros- pect and Policy of the Government. Civic Honor to the Prince of Wales. Lonpon, Nov, 9, 1874, ‘This being Lord Mayor's Day, it is observed in the usual manner. THE LORD MAYOR'S PROCESSION moved at two P.M. The route, aiter leaving Guildhall, was by way of the eastern end of | Gresham stree*, Basinghall street, London wall, Moorgate street, Princes street and the frontof the Mapsion House, passing thence along Queen Vic- Voria street, the western part of Cannon street, St. Paui’s churchyard, Ludgate hill, Fleet street, Temple bar, the Strand, Charing Cross, Whitehall and on to Westminster Hall. The return journey was by way of the Victoria Embankment, Queen Victoria street, King street, after crossing Cheap- de, and thence to the Gutldhall, THE WEATHER FAVORBALE. Afog prevailed in the mourning, but as the hour for the procession to move arrived the weather cleared up beautifully, THE PEOPLE OUT IN FORCE. The crowd that gathered to witness the proces- alon was immense and very enthusiastic. Abumber of the houses along the route were decorated. THE BANQUET AT GUILDHALL. Nine of the Cabinet Ministers have accepted the fmvitation of the Lord Mayor elect (Mr. Alderman Stone) ana the Sheritls of London to the banquet Bt Guildhall this evening, namely :—Mr. Disraeli, Lord Malmesbary, the Chancellor of the Ex- bhequer, the Home Secretary. Lord Derby, Lord Carnarvon, the Marquis of Salisbary, Mr. Gathorne Bardy and the First Lord of the Admiralty. The becasion promises to be one of considerable politi- bal interest, and great preparations are being made for it at Guiidhal! by the civic authorities, Mr. Disracli’s Speech at Guildhall, Lonpon, Nov. 9—Evening. The festivities of Lord Mayor’s Day concluded ‘with a grand banquet at Guildhall. Among the @istinguished persons present were Mr. Dueraeli, Lord Cairns, the Earl of Derby, the Marquis of Salisbury, Sir Stafford Northcote, Right Honorable Messrs. Hardy, Hunt and Cress, the Earl of Malmesbary, Lord John Manners ana the Right Honoravie Mr. Goschen, The Lord Mayor gave the usnal toast to Her Majesty's Ministers. THE PREMIER'S REPLY, Mr. Disraeli responded. He referred to the tranquillity England had enjoyed for the last six years. The reasons were not far to seek. The people were now contented. The working classes ofGreat Britain inherited rights and privileges Bot yet possessed by the nobility of other lands. They had no fear of arbitrary Ministers and domictiiary visite. They pos- Bessed the right to combine for the protec- Sion of the interests of labor. Justice was pure and no respecter of individual classes, Although the service of the sovereign was open to all no one was liable to be dragged unwilling from his home and employments. It was not wonderful that a nation possessed of such privileges wished to preserve them. Under such circumstances was It tobe wondered at that the working classes were conservative ? Mr. Disraeli looked back to the last session of Parliament with satisfaction, but avoided making any political forecast. As ar as the present was concerned the country bad seldom been more prosperous, He had good authority for stating that there was a consider- ebie revival of trade and great promise of an in- crease of commercial transactions, and that the public revenues would realize all the government anticipated. GOVERNMENT IN INDIA AND THE COLONIES. The Premier praised Lord Northbrook, Viceroy of India, and the Marguis of Salisbury, the In- dian Secretary, for their sagacity in dealing with the famine in India, Referring to the recent out- sry for the separation of the colonies, he distinctly declared himself in Javor of the maintenance of the integrity of the kmpire. Of this policy the annexation of the Fiji Islanas ‘was a proof, The government was resolved to ponsolidate the Empire and establish identity of interests and sympathy with the colonies. 4 COMPLIMENT TO FRANCK AND THE POLIOY OF PEACE. He thanked the French Ambassador for the friendly sentimenta he expressed when replying | to the toast to the “Diplomatic Body.” Although (t would be trifling with the truth to assert that the state of the Continent showed no cause for | anxtety, yet the government pelieved in the main- tenance of peace, for which all the great Powers were anxious, Mr. Disraeli in taking his seat was loudly ap- pleuded. . The Prince of Wales’ Birthday Fete. Lonpon, Nov. 9, 1874. To-day is also the anniversary of the birthday of the Prince of Wales, who is thirty-tiree years of age, having been born on the 9th of November, 1841, and it is further celebrated on that account oy the fring of salutes and the ringing of bells.

Wasuinaton, Nov. 9, 1874. Ic was stated in these despatches of Friday last that Colonel John S, Mosby had that day received substantial evidence of the President's iriendabip. ‘The significance of this stasement may not have been apparent at the time, but it ‘must be remem- 2 original advocate ofthe third term, and does not conceal his zeal im promoting the movement at all times. Alter the result of Tuesday’s election wes known, the President could not do Jess than pooh Pooh the statement that the third term bad some- thing to do with the republican deieat. How the President and Mosby kept up each ocher’s courage has already been published in the Hena.p, but the most important fact has yet to be related. By many it wiil be doubted that the President 1s really an as- Pirant for cootinued honors. His evasive and par- tal notice of the “nonsense,” as ne call it, displays diplomatic skill in disguising bis true intent, but | with Mosby he has no secrets. Before the Chatta- nooga Convention met the President plainly said he did not want an indorsement from the Conven- tion for @ renomination, jor if he was the candi- date again an indorsement from the carpet-bag element of the South would handicap him in the contest. Not being well up in jockey vernacular, and failing to Ond the wordin my | edition of Webster's unabridged, 1 asked my in- formant what the President meant by being handi- Tbe President uses weight to the nomination, or plainly speaking, it would be ENDANGERING HIS CHANCE for securing a@ re-election, if such a body asthe Chattanooga Convention should recommend his renomination. South Carolina, the President thinks, is tad enough without increasing the burden.”” This was before the October election, Since then the overwhelming democratic vic tories have not lessened the President's hopes nor his confidence that he is @ necessity to the republican party and must be renominated if that party expects to win at the next election, Congressman (. L. Cobb, of North Carolina, who, when interviewed several months ago, declined to give a positive opinion, to-day said that he was UNOONDITIONALLY FOR A THIRD TBRM YOR GRANT and should use his best efforts to increase that sentiment in North Carolina. The President not only expects to be renominated, but is preparing the way as fastas he can by inaugurating a new policy toward the South—viz., a determination to no Jonger allow the Sonthern peopie to be politi- cally or officially ostracised on account of their re- belnons conduct. This explains his fearless friend- ship for Colonel Mosby, tn the face of the elections, which were, it is claimed, carried by the dis- affected republican voters wno were Union sol- diers, but were tired of nearing of MOSBY’S INFLUENCE, whena republican Congress, by reducing the ap- propriations, had compelled the dismissal of nun- dreds of worthy clerks who deserved better of their country for the wounds they had received than the wounded Confederates who rejoice in the But the President is im earnest, ‘dead earnest,’ and cares nothing for the wiser counsels of jediate advisers, who are not only members of the Cabinet bat personal friends of long ac- quaintance, who have warned him tuat there was such a thing as carrying his goodwill too far. On Friday last, as has already been atated, Colonel Mosby had a long interview with the President. He came to call the President's attention to the fact that Miss Amelia Jackson, daughter of JAMES W. JACKSON, WHO KILLED COLONEL ELLS- woRTH at Alexandria carly in 1861, and who had been ap- pointed to @ position in the Treasury Department | &t Mosby’s request, had that day been dismissed | Docause she was Jackson's daughter. The man to | diertakes the role o! Gretcuen, plays it with vigor. ‘whom Lee surrendered his army bit his lips at the announcement of Miss Jackson’s dismissal. Further explanation was unnecessary, and seizing & pen he wrote as follows:— C, B. McCanrse, Superintendent Bureau “of En- graving und Printing :— Retain Miss Amelia Jackson in the employ of your bureau, U, 8. GRANT. The same afternoon Colonel Mosby, accom- panied by Miss Jackson, called upon Mr. McCartee atthe Treasury Department, presented the request ofthe President, and in the twinkling of an eye Miss Jackson’s name, that morning erased from the rolls, was rewritten upon them. But it is not this alone that has REKINDLED THE FIRES has been known for some time that the, President Dad declared “proscription on account of the re- bellion shail no louger be continued witn my con- sent.” This Kindness on President Grant’s part could easily be explained by his AMBITION TO COURT SOUTHERN SYMPATHY. and support for a re-election, Tbis being dis- | cerned the next step is to revive the oid army feeling, and to-day in this city a thousand clerksin the departments, who are proud of their war record, are organized and sending information to their | former comrades throughout the country that the General they voted for as President twice is will- ing to be again elected to the same ofiice, and that their Senators and Representatives are im- potent with him as compared with the power of Mosby. This is, indeed, a startling statement, but of its trutn scores of republican Senators and Representatives are unwilling witnesses. There exists and has existed for several months AN ORGANIZATION AGAINST THE THIRD TERM, numbering prominent departmental officials among its numbers, who secretly meet to devise the best pluns for frustrating the growth of the movement, If Secretary Bristow does not want Miss Jackson in his department he must silenuy submit or tender his resignation. Thero is but one head to all the departments, and that is the President. The Cabinet officers are, to use the exact language of Secretary Fish, “only the Presi- dent's clerks,” ANOTHER BRUTUS, TOO. Said my informant, “Ifa Secretary of the Treas- ury must be dumb, how much more the clerks under him. If the President could hear what strong republicans say of him here in Washington, | he wold not attempt to deccive a tew by the | statement that the HERALD’s Joxe, as he calls it, is all nofisense,’ for this Umsar is another Brutus to the soldier voters of the north.” | SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA. .

Gover- nor Tilden said:—Mr. President and gentlemen, itis gratifying to me on this flrat occasion to have the right to represent this great Commonweaith of New York beiore this assemblage, to meet the young men o1 New York who are to be its great Mercuants of the future. And I believe I have the right, in the absence vf the dignified and caitured gentleman who has neld the ollice of Governor for two years. 1 believe that my fricnd Wilson, on my right, has been detailed by Prest- term; but I assure you, gentlemen, that I have had no such instractions irom Governor Dix to Tepresent bis views on that subject. (Cheers.) I am_ proud to represent this old Commonwealth 01 New York, which I’ have never called the Km- pire State, for 1 have always eliminated | imperialism from my words and fdeas as I | have from tne theory of selt-covern- ment which [ have advocated. The great State | ot New York bears upon her brow the proud | name of “Excelsior,” and if good government is given her sne will always bear that title without Teproach, lt always seems to me trat more atrention is paid to whatever is done in New York by public men than in avy other part of tne country; lor the powerful calcium light of the press is thrown upon every act, word and deed, and if they do not bear scrutiny woe pe to them who err, No wrong can exist in the city that is not visited on the State, and we shoula have govd government in ali parts of the Commonwealth. The young men should take part in pudiic affairs and in poli- tics, and no nation or State or city can have good government unless its best citizens bear « share in its political struggles. 1 say that politics is quite as honorable a8 trade, jorit is the man and his actions and general character that will lower or dignity party Wariare, and not politics which t dignuy tne man.
