Col. Forney is alive again, and in good feather: bird in season, how good it is! Each of the Johnson papers has its special calumny against Congress, and is resolved to fight it out on this iie all Winter. The attempt on the part of the Cleveland Conven- tion to pull Wool over the eyes of the people will evi- dently prove a fa Morrissey and kis friends give as a professional rea- son for supporting the President that he keeps the bigeest policy shop in the conntry. Wkhen was it ever known, in the history of the world, that after a great battle the defeated party was allowed to dictate the terms of peace? —_— There is reason to fear that the Editor of The Herald will preseutly announce his adhesion to the Republi- can party. “ And at lat Satan came also."” i —— Gen. Baird has been relieved from duty in New- Orleans and ordered to the Department of the Lakes. His report told too much truth. i — 1t is & notable aud ominons fact that during the late Presidential tour it was difficult, anywhere along the line, to put up a platform upon which the people | could stand except at the risk of their lives. ——————— Tt is very cold in Clevelaud. ¢ delegates are completely chilled by their reception. Fortunately, they are few, or the corn crop in Ohio might be de- stroyed by the frost. [ —— A recent telegram aunounces that an arrangement Las been made for a mecting between Napoleon and Count Bismark. The place of meeting is not men- tioned, but it is understood that instead of * pistols and coffee” the programme is to be ‘‘needle-guns and blarney.” If Mr. Johnson's new appointments in Philadel- phia do not largely inerease Gen, Geary's majority, we greatly mistake the nnpopularity of the gentlemen be has put io, and the character of those he has put out. At the Hoffman meeting last night there was a sin- gular want of entbiusinsm. The Irish element seemed absent. The speeches had little point, but the fire- works were very fine, and thousands of good Repub- licaus enjoyed the display. The Courier des Etats-Unis of y 3 though a partisan of the policy of Mr. Jobnson, the truth compels us to say that the impression left by his recent tour is deservedly unfavorable, and that the Chief of the Nation, by his too numerous and often ill-timed speeches, has in a measure prevented the ex- cellent results which we had a right to expect from the Philadelphia Convention.” Probably. —_— Gen. Jons C. FREMONT doesn’t train in the Custer- Steedman crowd that met yesterday at Cleveland— not exactly, The publication of his name as one of the backers of that movement is not more impudent than some of their other appropriations, (Gen. Me- Allister, for instance), but is a little mere amusing. 1f Gen. Fremogt's business would allow him to attend eitber Convention, we need not say that he would respond to his name at Pittsburgh. The Obio delegates to the Cleveland Convention bave done a cool thing in requesting the withdrawal of the entire Democratic ticket in their 8tate, and the nowination of Conservative Republicans instead! After the contemptuous treatment Gen. Dix received at Albany, and the general dissatisfaction of the Democrats with the meager reénforcement of Repub- lican deserters, this application is audacious. The Democrats hold the whip and intend to use it, and in overy State the Conservatives must e at the tail of the ticket. A good General usually places in the rear the deserters who join his army. Platte City, in North-Western Missouri, was yestor- day the scene of a bloody contest, wherein the Union- ists or Radicals were assailed and routed by the John- sonites or Rebels, Platte i3 a strong Rebel County. Even when s great portion of its men were away in Price’s army, it gavo (in 1864) 320 votes against to 374 for the Freo State Constitution, and 822 for McClellan to 496 for Lincoln. Boone, Calloway, Clay, Clinton, Mississippi, Monroe and Ray are all the counties in the State that can compete with it in the intensity of its Rebel feel- ing. Three * Conservative” to one *‘ Radical” is about what its vote will be if the Rebels exercise the right of suffrage, as they are sure to in such strong- bolds. It now looks as though the Rebels would massacre or drive out the Unionists altogether; but Ciov. Fletcher bas a word to say to that. This fray i3 an evil augury for the coming Election. i ——— It is a remarkable coincidence that the European papers containing the full text of the treaty of peace concluded on the 23d of Augu. . between Prussia and Austria reached us on the same day when we pub- lished, in a special telegram addressed from London to Tue TrisUNe, the important anuouncement that war threatens to break out anew between the late con- tending Powers. We do not deem it of sufficient importance to pub- lish again the text of the treaty, as it is almostidentical with the peace preliminaries agreed upon at Nikols- burg, which bave been given in our paper in full. The valie of treaties, like that of Prague, is strikingly illustrat 1 by its first artiele, which provides that “Peace and friendship shall prevail in future and for ever between his Majesty the King of Prussia and his Majosty the Emperor of Austria, their heirs and suc- cessors, their states and subjects,” Scarcely a fort- night Las elapsed since the promise of this everlast- ing friendship, when we are informed that *‘it is only a question of hours whether troops be not again put in motion for Vienna." PIVAL HOUSES. The N. Y. Times saw fit to warn its readers of a prospective collision between two rival bodies, each claiming to be the House of Representatives. This n was to be induced as follows: A full House of Representatives consists of 241 members, making 121 a guorum. Of these, the ten which plunged into Secession and Rebellion, @ not yet been rehabilitated, are entitled say to 50, I ng 191 to the remaining States. Let these States chioose 100 to 110 Republican-Unionists, with 80 to 90 **Conservativ and the latter (it was threatened ) would unite with the men chosen from the lately insurgent States, making a large quornm, and organizing by themselves; and, being so organ- ized, President Johuson would recognize this as the true House, ignoring that constituted by a quorum of the unquestioned members as bogus, and thus izau- gurating anarchy if not immediate civil war, this prospeet was held out by Tie Times as a reason for choosing ** Conscrvatives™ to Congress. It seemed to us to afford the most cogent reasons actly apposite course, If those who eluim to be ** Conservatives” propose to inaugurate anarchy and civil , by defying the laws of the land, they surely ought not to be intrusted with power. For peace the great majority insist on; and they know that peace is to be maintained only by obedicuce to law. 8o we repeatedly demanded that the Editor of Tae Tryns should are, in caso he shall be redicct- od to the House, which of the two contemplated Houses thus organized he proposes to tuke a scat in. This question, afier days of silence, heis goaded into noticing; first, denying that he is a candidate for the House (which, though not yet formally nominated, he is,) and proceeding tosay: « Rut we have no wish to stand on etiquette. presume Tuk TRmUNE sapposes, vould for an ¢ Weo Mr Raymond, in the case which at in that Cot o which showld ble in accordance w e has thus fur acted formity to law, and bus advised everybody clse to do t Botling 1n the condition oF prospect of public induce or lucline bim (o do otherwise ~Yes, 8ir: but when you try to fri n into electing ** Conservatives” by conjuring up a prospect of anarchy and civil war throvgh their organ- izing a bogns Congress in defiance of xisting law,” you compel ns to ask how you propote to act in regard to such fresh rebellion. The 3 ted, to see the danger ict of authority os the ovne sapposed entirely averted, —Very good: 5o do we. And the sure way to do this is to elect an indisputable quorum of Republican- Unionists. Ouly let us have 121 of these returned (and we have 140 in the present House), and the new game of Secession is blocked—youn can't make a bogus House if you try. The 50 from unrestored States cannof make a House unless 60 * Conservatives” are chosen from the logal States to help them do it. So the way is clear to reuder the appronended condlict of authority impossible. The Times concludes s follows: “We wish the present Congress wonld at once admit, o declare its purpose 1o admit, loyal members fre who ean take the oath prese: We by the duty of Congress, if it qu'rements of the Coustitut regard, woreover, as beiter ¢ store peace and harmony to the Uni perils which menace the country, oppose it ~What The Times here asks is simply this: 1. That Congress shall have no voi: ttling the conditions of reconstruction and the guarantics against future rcbellions. The President has imposed such conditions as he thinks proper, and Congress must accept and ratify these without question. Inother words, the President alone must settlo the terms whereon the States lately in revolt sball resume their repudiated position in the Union. 2. The loyal Blacks of the South shall have exactly such rights as the Whites (mainly Rebel) shall choose to give them. Congress shall have no say in the premises, and the Blacks must fare as their murderers at Fort Pillow, Memphis and New-Orleans, shall de- cree. 'We cannot agree to this, As to admitting **loyal members from loyal States who can take the oath preseribed by law,"” we could assent to this if the loyal people of the South were al- lowed to vote: since they are not, the talk of **loyal members” and * loyal States” does n't signify. While the butchers of New-Orleans and Memphis vote, and their victims have no voice in the Government, we have no faith in the loyalty of the former. The Rebel- lion was but a more logical, systematic assertion of the doctrine, ““This is a White man's Government,” as embodied in the Dred Scott decision and Stephens's “‘corner-stone” speech at Savauuab. While a Rebel adheres to the mistaken fundamentalnotions that made him a Rebel, we wonld w't give a batton for his “loyal” oath. Have n't we already a U. 8. Senator (Patterson) who has taken the *‘loyal” oath, when all know that he was a Rebel functionary? We lay this course, which we 1 than ony other to re- and to avert all the Why does Tue Trisuse more stress on & Rebel's acts than on bis oaths. ‘We want peace and harmony restorsd; we want every State represented in Congress; but we want first full security that loyal people, White or Black, shall have full proteetion iy their rights of person aud property. The very least we can consent to take is the ratification of the Constitutional Aweadmept passed by Congress; lot the South assebt 1o this and restme the privilegos she fyrfeited by rebellion; though we should much prefer the shorter, simpler basis of Universal Amnesty, lmpartial Suf- frage. Admitting “‘loyal Members from loyal States who can take the oath preseribed by law"” (which most of those elected from the South cannot) would settle nothing, but merely change the subject of agitation. If iv =5 proper that those who were And | Rebels shall do the voting of the South, then they ought to be at liberty to elect me. after their own heart—and they will never rest till they do. We greatly desire asettlement that will prove perfect and enduring, because it removes all disabilities, redressos all grievauces, and secures All Rights to All CURRENCY RESTORATION. That a dollar ought to mean a dollar—that there can be no real advantage to any laudable interest in calling it $1 50 to-day, $1 40 to-morrow, and $165 next dag—that fictitious prices, based on a debased currency, are of no account either way, save as Specu- lation is enabled by them to take advantage of In- dustry—are propositions that are proved by being stated, The amazing dolt who thinks that Home Manufactures are somehow protected by having the Currency inflated in volume dnd depreciated in value while Customs duties are payable in coin, simply needs instruction in the Single Rule of Three, The manufacturer gets $3 per yard for a fabric that for- merly old for #2; but he pays in proportion for his material, his machinery, his fuel, his labor, and is nowise profited by the illusion. It were far safer for him to call every thing by its right name, currency included; and a dollar that will only buy seven silver dimes is not, in the natural and true sense, a dollar, We shall be dragged back nearly or quite to Re- sumption in spite of ourselves if wesimply do nothing but keep our taxes high and pay them; but at how foarful a cost! ~If we wait for this, a full Billion of our National Debt will have gone abroad, been sold for twenty to forty per cent. less than its face, and paid for in luxuries and fripperies that we might better have done without, and left to be sweated out by our children’s labor. 'We caunot comprehend the general indifference wherewith this constant gliding across the Atlantic of Millions after Millions of our National Debt is regarded. The vampire bat, which faus the traveler with his wings into luxurious content while be drains his life-blood,usually operates while the vic- tim is asleep. We cannot agree with thoss who argue that hoarding Gold by the Government is the surest and shortest road to Specie Payments. Every addi- tional million thus hoarded tends to connteract the natural tendency to a reduction of the premium on Gold by making that metal scarcer in the market. The Treasury now holds, let us say, Eighty Millions Of course, the premium on Gold is bigher than it would be if this were on the market; and the larger the hoard the higher the premium, because of the resulting scascity of available coin. Let the Sceretary use Sixty Millions of Lis coin in buying up his stocks—that is, his debt—and his stocks will be Ligher“in price becanse scarcer, while Gold will be lower in price because more abundant. We believe Sixty Millions so used would bring us more than half way back to Specie Payments. We have gold enough in the country to justify in- stant Resumption: what we lack isa fair price for our National Sccurities. Were Five-Twenties over par in gold, as they ought to be, the Secretary would need ounly permission by law to convert Greenbacks into Five-Twenties to enable him to resume direetly He will need no more gold when his greenbacks shall have been brought to par with gold by being readily convertible into an interest-bearing security that is at or above gold par, If the p elieve in a trathfu of uniform value, they have only ta to make the greenbacks fundable ina security at par with gold, and the work is done. Every greenback will be at par with gold; and then little gold will be wanted. The interest on the Publie Debt m aid, y. , equable Currepey nstruct Congress as the Revenue from Castoms may be received, in greenbacks as well as in gold. Praetically, not one ereditor in a hundred chooses to burden himself with gold in any quantity when paper is eonvertible into it. It is its superior value that now renders gold de- sirable and causes all who can claim to exact it. Give us & Par Currency, and we shall not veed nor use o dollar in gold where we now require and bandle ten. And the first étep towand Resumption, in our view,i the prompt employment of all the Government coin not necded to pay interest in buying up aud canceling Public Debt. Vo 18 THE PROSPECT. The anteliluvian reprobate, who, baving begged for admission into Noah's ark and been repulsed, con- led that there was n't going to be much of a er, bas bad many imitators; but none more ser- vile than those jonrnalists who, having concealed from their readers the full force aud significance of the Eleetion Returns of Maine and Vermont, sagely conclude that these prove little or nothing, because Maine and Vermont are New England States, and didn't go Copperhead in 1862, Neither wonld New- York, Penusylvania, Olio, Indiana or ILlinois, have given Opposition majorities in that year, had the * Boys in Blue” been at home, orbeen enabled to vote in the field. We lost these great States, not because they were really against us, but because their bravest and best by tens of thousands were fighting the Rebels in Virginis, Tennessee and Missouri, when the elections were held, and so could n't be voting at home. Of course, the enormous subtraction from the Republican vote was felt in the closcr States as it was not in the far North-East. But the soldier ladd at home now, and three-fourths of them will * vote as they shot"—for * Liberty and Union, now and for- ever, one and inseparable.” _— A MULTITUDINOUS GREETING. Mr. Wordsworth, inone of his agricultaral poems, speaks or sings of a meadow with forty cows init, and with lyrical license declares that the * forty are feeding like one.” It was in this way, we guess, that the President and his tail were cating their dinners at 8t. Louis, when above the * stridor demtium” (or gnashing of teeth) arose the *‘clamor gentium " (or cjaculations of the ontsiders), and His Excellency, laying down his knife and fork, resignedly betook himselfzo the portico of the inn and commenced his usual performances. He had. hardly warmed to his work, when *“A Voico"” exclaimed, **Ten thousand welcomes,” and the President said, *‘Thank you"— fuiling to add, as e would have done, if he had been better acquainted with the poets, “Thon art unseen, and yet I bear thy sbrill delight.” Of the enthusiast wha is so curtly chronicled as “ A Voice,” it may be safely predicated, that though small, he was spunky. It is not every individual in this lower sphere who would venture to speak for ten thousand of his fellow-creatures; and we hold it to be the duty of the President to seck out the vocifer- ous little man, and to give him some sweet office. That which npon this occasion he assumed, of General Wel- comer, is not one to be repaid by simple thanks; and we have the opinion of the great Sancho Pauza, that * an office which will not find a man in victuuls is not worth two beans.” The President said ** Thank you!" and we may therefore presume that he felt gratified by this touch- ing instance of personal devotion, It must, however, have been to him a melancholy reflection that ** voices " are not votes, and that this man of ten thousand, if he had been down East upon a late oc- easion, would have been good for only one ballot and nomore, The incident, therefore, even to so sage a man a3 the President, should not be without its value, 21& admirers, fow but furious, small in numbers but at in appetite, whenever he shows himseli, may raise a stunning burly-burly, but each of them has only one vote. Esquire Stiggins may receive the Humblepigh Post-Office, but he bas only one. vote. Jones, Brown and Robinson may be filled to bursting with Federal pap, but those who do not sbare in the provender will feel no inclination to follow their po- litical lead. Therefore, our advice to the President, modestly but cordially offgred, is: ** When Stiggivs writes to you that he can carry his town for the Ad- ministration, when Jones makes the same promise for his county, Brown for his district and Robinson for his state, pray, dear Mr. Johnson, remember the little man at St. Louis!"” ] MR. BOTTS'S THREE HUNDRED. As Mr. Andy Johnson, the chaste, eloquent and pious, will persist in talking about it, we suppose that we may continue now and then to say a few words upon the subject of Universal Suffrage. We presume that he hardly expected that it would have that ef- foct, but we must say that Mr. Botts's speech at the Loyal Convention was not wanting in encouragement to all advocates of Votes for Men. Imprimis, said Mr. Botts, in speaking of Manhood Buffrage: b T say, consclentionsly, that out of 30,000 ll:‘ll men in the State of Virginia, you could not get 300 of them to go to the polls and v tor o Loyal White Men, we suppose Mr. Botts meant. He does not trouble himself to let us know how men of the other shade of epidermis would vote, if the poor fellows could only bave a chance. Of courso, we do not accept Mr. Botts’s numerical esti- mate; it is just one of his accustomed extravagances; but we take the freedom of sayirg that with the right or wrong of an opinion, with' the justice or in® justice of a measure, as between the equity or inequity of a policy, the number of its supporters and oppo- nents has nothing whatever to do. There are several districts in Virginia in which, hardly two years ago, unanimons vote to hang Mr. Botts on sight could easily have been obtained; and not a few who now parade their loyalty would have gone with savage sto- lidity in the affirmative. If “‘loyal men" are willing that those who voted Virginia out of the Union shall g0 on exercising the right of suffrage, while thousands who fought and shed their blood for the Union are to be disfranchised, all wo have to say is that their “Joyalty” is of the No. 1 nature only in one respect, and that they do exhibit an admirablo talént for taking care of themselves. They are extremely rea- sonable, They only want the first, the second and the third cut; and,after they have heen helped, the poor freedman is to be welcome to the bare and osseous remainder. Mr. Botts himself, who is in the main a good-hearted man, admits this almost in so many words, He says: I came up here supplicant to Congress, to extend pri- viliges to the White Union men of the So 1 came here to be relieved from the serfiom to which 1 have to submit in the Southern country; aund I think it would be quite time enough when we Lave obtained our own privileges to undertake to confer them upon others.” —There you have it! First chance for White Men! Contingent remainders for the Blacks! The Rebellion was started to carry out this very doctrine; and Mr. Vallandigham, who supported the Rebellion to the best of his ability, always taking care to keep out of jail, is of Mr. Botts's opinion now. First chance for White Men! The insurrection’is erushed; but the fallacies upon which it was based, having got into good company, are as rampant as ever and a deal more dangerous. We have a great respect for Mr. Botts, and no wish to do him any injustice. He has no objection to Colorad Voters as such; he merely believes the pro- posed extension unseasonable; in A. D. 1,900, when lio is no more, when we all are in the cold and silent tomb, Mr. Botts thinks it possible that Blacks may vote in Virginia. He says: “ Uuiversal suffrage will, sconer or later. and in good time be copterred upon the negroes of the South; but, ia my judg, ment, the time has not yet arrived.” - And why? Because the Black Voters would be murdered, shot at the polls, slaughtered by the | White Voters! So the right of suffrage may be safely extended to homicides, assassing and rioters, who will diversify the tedium of the polling by six- part musical performances upon their revolvers; who will crimson the fountain of law with fnnocent blood; who will secure mojorities by scaring harmless citi- zons from the exercise of their simplest aud dearest rights . Why, doesn't Mr. Botts see that he who would shoot a Black Voter would shoot Mr. Botts a3 quickly t Yet nobedy talks of disfranchising him ! His opinions have made mischief already; bis neigh- bors have uot always agreod with him, as birds agree in their little nests; yet he would think it extremely bard if he were made a nobedy politically by his neighbors, because his being a somebody politically was displeasing to the majority. May, as Mr. Botts knows by this time, is an extremely selfish animal, eager to get all that he can, and prone to keep what he bas got. The Right of Suffrage in tho hands of a limited cless is a valuable privilege, securing power and money and comfort at the expense of the excluded. From its very nature, it is a privilege wbich it is almost impos- sible to wrest from its possessors—absolutely impos- sible while its holders maintain perfect accord and the daleet brotherhood of a close corporation. While the power of making or of repealing laws Is in the hands of a few, nothing but the extraordinary agitation which is known to threaten a revolution can extort unwilling concessions. “Now i3 not the time,"” says Mr. Botts. Pray, when will the time come? Will Mr. Botts be good enough to tell us? Will it be when the;Virginian Oligarchy has grown prouder and more prosperoas and more prejudiced ? Will it be when, through lapse of time, the Black has lost all political significance, a portion of which to- day ho is possessed of? Will it be when the spared relies of the Rebellion find themselves restored, re- generated, rehabilitated 7 Will it be when the col- ored defenders of the Union have lapsed into hopeless serfdom or peonage? Or will it be when the Bla ks themselves, threatening to seize that which is unjustly withheld from them, shall rise in the majesty of num- bers, aud extort by the sword that which peaceful log- islation should have granted them ? Virginia needs the bravery of lusty youth, and not the timidity of conservative old age. If sho would greatly win, she must also greatly dare. She may, bave a producing population, intelligent, peaceful and industrions; submissive to the laws and helping to make them; acquiring property and ch ly paying taxes upon its acquirement; buildiug school-liouses aud filling them after they are built. But the orable condition of such a class is perfect equ before the law, without which the employer impoverished and the employed doomed to a life-long squalidity—suspicion upon one side and discontent upon the other; with institutions unfixed, with policy shifting, with the present nneasy, aud with the fature beclouded! And all becanse honest men will not understand that now is the accepted time! May God enlighten their understandings! b THE SUPREME COURT. There are very general complaints among liti and lawyers at the delays and difficulties in the mode of reaching justice through the intricacies of what is known as ‘“‘chamber practice.” We bave received several communications from able lawyers upon this subject, and in all of them we gee it urged that some of our Supreme Court Justices are not fitted to give satisfaction *‘at chambers.” On the other hand, some of the Justices of the Supreme Court in this Dis- triet are admirably calculated to do well at nisi prins —others in the equity branch of the Court, and others at the General Term. The specialty of each of the Justices in the performance of duty should be known to each, and all should join in the apportionment to cach, with a single eye to the dispatch of the different kinds of business presented to the court. The remedy, it seems to us, is with the Justices of the District themselves, in apportioning the right man for the right place. Let the Justices give us the proper one among themselves to hold and dispateh business at cham- bers, and the public will be satisfied. ‘The late action of the Supreme Court in this District, upholding the | constitutionality of the Excise Luw, and sustaining | the action of our Board of Healt), by which a terrible | pestilence has been prgvented, gives us hope for all | necdfal reforms. 1 WASHINGTON. e Special Dispatch to The N.

OFPICIAL PROSCRIPTION, New-York will bave its share of beadless trunks before the week isout. There is evidently no truth in the report which comes from the West, to tlo effoct that the official guillotine was to stop motion because so many decaph- ations were injuring the President’s party. This remark ig attribated to Postmaster Randall. The operations of to-day however, do not coofirm it. Oua the contrary, the demands upon the President aro more vehemeut than ever. A membes of the Johnson Departmental Club declared on Saturday tuas if Mr. Johnson did uot mow begin to act in the Departments after what he promised o bis speeches in the West, he would no longer be wortby of confidence; and one of the President's newspaper organs bere to-day calls loudly for indiscrimioate removals in view of the results of the Malne election, aad styles all office-holders who refuse to sacrifice their prinoiples ingrates, serpents, and demons in. human form. But tbe guillotine will work, RUMORED RESIGNATION OF ASST.-SECY. CUANDLER, It is rumored to-night, among Treasury autlorities, that the resignation of Asst. Secretary Chandler has been laid upon Mr, McCulloch's desk. THE PHILADELPHIA APPOINTMENTS. Messrs. Cowan and Randall, Secretary McCulloch, and ex-Govs. Johnson and Bigler of Pennsylyania were all closeted with the President to-day, and the result is that the following appointments were substantially agreel upon for Philadelpbia: For Director of the Mint, William Miliward, formerly an M. C. avd United States Marshal under Lincolo; for Postmaster, Charles M. Hall, vice C. Walborn removed; for Naval Officer, J. R.

A CONTRAD ICTION. Some ofthe newspapers have republished a report about Marshal Goodings having been relioved from offiolal service in connection with the Presidential party on the late excursion, while others bave quoted words attribufed to Seo. retary Seward in derogation to that gentleman. All thees stories are mere slanders or fictions, baving vo trath whalevee for their basis. Mr. Gooding was eflicient and atteotive dut- ing the entire trip, with the exception of several days, when he was obliged to temporarily leave the party, in consequescs of severe indisposition, but jotned them at Indianapolis. THE GERMAN SCHUTZENFEST. The Schutzenfest is largely attended, vot only by the Germans of this city, {but many from abroad. As the procession to-day passed the Executive mausion, the Prosidont came to the portico, when Emil Fischer and Major Blumenburg, leaving their carriage, presented bim with two Ueautiful bouquets. Major Blumenborg remarked in banding up the bouquet, that he was happy thus to bonor him, and be, With the members of the Baltimore Association, wisued him every success in Life. ‘The President remarked that be felt thankfal for the com- pliment, aud was glad to see i the matro polis of the nation so many Germaus, all of whom he hoped would spend a pleassat time. Quite a numbaer of the houses of our German cilizens are to- day decorated in honor of the occasion. The shooting this afternoon was for tho best single shots for ten golden medals. To morrow the members will shoot for the *King Medal," which is of gold with & massive chain, and is now beld by Mr, Lewis Beser.
