Special Dispatch to T Bax BostoN, October 12 —The president and party left for Marshtield this morning. Marsrierp, Mase., October 12.— Tt was nearly 3 p . when the ex- erciees at the tomb were finiehed, and the processivn took up their line of march to the field next the Webater estate, whero wore pitched the tents in which dinnea and literary excrcises were to take place. The scene of the ceremonies resembled a miniature camp. The most noticeable of the tents were two large dinner tents for use respectively by the Webster His- torical society and the Ancient’ and Honorable Artillery company. The larger canvas was oblong in shepe, Within were sixteen tables, with ac- commodations for 500 persons, Af- ter a brief rest the preeident and party wore escorted to the large din- ing tent erected for the useof the Web- ster Historical society The president of the Historical society ocoupied the centre of the table, and upon his right sat President Arthur, Mrs, Webater, Secretary Chandler, Mayor Green, of Boston, and others; upoun his left were Governor Long, Senators Dawes, Hour, Collector Worthington, Secretary Lincoln and othere. Whon the audience had been seated, the re. tiring president announced the re- cently elected offisers, and invited Governor Long, the new president, to the chair. After dinner the president was escorted to the adjoining tent, where the Ancient and Honorables were dining. His entrance was the signal for repeated cheers, which were again renewed when he was formslly presented by the commannder for an acknowledgment of the reception. The commander introduced him as the firat president of the United States whom the command ever had the honor to receve. The presiden satd: “I thank you most cordially for our kindly and enthusiastic greeting: ;thmk you, too, tor the eacort ser- vice you have done me to-day. Iam lad to meet so many Aucient and glonmab‘e men. [Laughter and ap- plause.] I hope each member of the corps will, like the countess of Das- mond, live to the age of one hundred and ten years, aud, like her, die frqm old age. You, each and all, have my good wishes, and I thank you again for your escort duty.” After the spoech of tho president, nis health was proposed by Colonel Wyman, While being drank the president had draiued his glass and had it refilled He then raid: ** am now going over to the other tent and want 10 take precautions agsinst tok- ing cold by taking a necond glass, not in accordance with ths general usage, because 1 know your liberality, 1 drink my own heaslth in the firat place, and now wish to drink the health of every one of you.” [Laugh- ter and great applause, | The president wus then escorted to the other tent. Upon returning to the society tent, the audience, partaking of the enthu- siasm manifested hy the military, rose to their feet and cheered the president heartily. Rosuming their seats, the assemblage was oalled to order by Governor Long, who mado one of his most eloquent speechies, taking as his text the character and atlainments of the great statesman, the memory of whom they were then rezalling, and concluded by a felicitous and appro- priate reference to the president, whom he introduced. President Ar- thur was again heartily greeted as he arose, Ho read from manuscript the following: “‘Mr PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN; Tt will particularly aceord with the pro- prieties of this occasion no lees than with my own ioclination if I confine within narrow limits the formal ac- knowledgements for theso flattering alutations, I cannot find words to tell you how deeply I am touched by the warmth of your greeting. It is but a fresh display of thar splendid hospitality which ever wiuce I came within the borders of Massachusetta has obstructed my path with demon- strations of courtesy and respeot. I trust, sir, that neither my gratitude nor uiy sympathy with the purposes which have turned our reverent foot- steps hitherward to day will bs meas ured by my cudeavors to give them verbal expreesion, The char- acter and genius of that illus- trious man whose life moved grandly on in so many paths of emi- pence, in commemoration of whese birth one hundred years ago we have gathered to-day amid peaceful scenes where he tound rest from the fret and worry of life, have for more thana generation been the theme of discus- sion and eulogy. I ghall not attempt to labor in a field over which 30 many flashing sickles have swept and which has 80 long been crowded with indus trious gleaners; bat I may perhaps be permitied to decl:re my approval of what has been accomplished by this society in the furtherance of the ob- ject for which it was founded *I1 is asserted upon what I suppose to be trustworthy authority that near the close of hiy honored” life, M. Webster expressed & wish that for aiding to transmit his fame to future enerations of his countrymen, for indling in their hearts the flame of patriotism, and for instructing them o the priuciples of constitutional government, there should be dissem inated far and wide among them such recorded efforts of his genius as seemed most worthy to be thus pre- sved. Many of the loftiest and most Mspiring of Mr, Webster's utterance have long beon as familiar as house- hold words in the mouth of every school-boy in the land, but it is doubtless true many othors scarcely less dignified in sab- ject, mastorly in treatuent and splen- did in diction are comparatively un- known. In all that you have hitherto done, in all.you may do henceforth, to securs the result which Mr. Web- ster wished, by re collection and ecir- culation of all his works which have have not? —I assure you of my earnest sympathy. No one of the rising gen- eration of our countrymen who secks to be instructed in those political doo- trines which are the basis of our fed- with the history of his country and with the origin, progress and signifi- cance of its institutions, can by any other course so suroly and so splan- didly sttain those ends as by resort to and wirdom-—the published writings of Daniel Webster. And so I bid God spoed in this and all other ‘lag ble work which you have set your- selves to accomplish. Let me ‘nce moro tender my thanks to you for all your kindness and exprees the pro- found hope thae&& noble corimon- wealth—all its cities and villages an hamlets, and all{hat dwell within its borders, may be Klessed by the abiding presence of proapdrity\and peace.” which was pundfiated by 'frequent applause and ver man B, Allen r Wobster and readjto th which he sat as secrjia: {ate, and which expressed hi day. \ ster’s work as a atatdman and legis- lator had had upon thy political affairs of the ccuntry.

A Business That Paralyzes Bastern Butchers. Spocial Dispatch to Tar B, Cuicago, October 12.—P, D. Ar- mour, the most prominent packer of cattle and hogs in the world, being interviewed to-day upon the mush dis- cussed shipment of dressed beef to the eastern cities, said the wholesale butohern of the seaboard cities may as well yield gracefully to the inevitable. This packing business must necesarily ba done in the west and most of it in Chicago, where there are no rings in the killing trado. Instead of beef going on alive it will go ready for the market. This is the cheapest, more sensible and reasonable way. The facilities for shipping dressed meat have been greatly enlarged- and improved and the meat can be landed in tho east as fresh and firm as when it leaves Chicago. Offal brings a bet- ter prico here than there, and this is another argumont in favor of the new movement. The whole carcasses cwn bo shipped now. The future will find an_extensive carcass businees.
