Wesr Poixt, N, Y., Oct. 8.—West Point to-day was the scene of imposing ceremonies which are destined to become memorable in its annals. The visit of the International American congress and tho un vailing of the portraits of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, presented by George W, Childs wera the principal fea- tures. ‘Iho special train containing the del- egates to the Taternational American con- gress arvived about b o'clock. Carriages awaited the delegates and they were driven to the residence of Superintendent Wilson, where the distinguished company haa assembled to welcome them. The boom- ing of cannon announced the arrival at the Post of the distinguished guests The secra- tary of war was the first to ahght from the carriage and step pon the veranda of the superintendent’s quarters. Ho was warmly greeted by General Sherman, General Hor- ace Porter, General Van Viiet, Mr. George W. Childs, Wayne - McVeagh, and the ecademic und military staff of the post. There was an immense crowd of spectators congregated under the trees on the edge. of the plain A battal- lion of cadets marched 1n review before the visitors. The machine-like pre- cision of movement and the soldierly appedr- ance of the cadets elicited from the foreign- ers many complimentary remarks, ‘ihe batallion marched to Grant hall, the crowd quickly following, and in a twinkling the hall was jammed with peodle, A platform had been erected at the north end of the room, whero the portraits of the three great generals, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan hung on the wall, each veiled 1 a United At flag. The xere were opened with a prayer the chavlain of the post, Rev. Mr. The superintendent then id, the tap of o drum followed, the flags fell from the pctures and they stood revealed in all their beauty. ‘The battalion presented arms, the bana played *‘Hail Columbia” and the audience sprang 10 their fect and cheered. General Horace Porter was then introduced and made the presentation address, in which he eculogized he three generals and the donor of the pic- tures, General Porter raised his h aid: Tt has been said that the only rep atives of royaluy recog: nized in thi: nd are our merchant princes. We are indebted for the occasion which brings us together to-day to the priucely act of u public spirited and patriotic citizen who Las conferred upon military academy souvenirs of her three most distinguished graduates whose historic features huve been transferred to cauvas by the limner's art, One dwelling in our midst, two dw our mewories, One bearing the laurel upon u living brow; | aurel inter- twined with the history of shieir lives is the most b ptor in the history of their country. 1t sayors more of romance than reality; it is woke like a fa- bled tale of aucient days than the story of American soldicrs of the nineteenth century, Most of the couspicuvus ciaracters in his- tory have rvisen to promineuce by gradual stops, but the senior of the triumvirate, whose features are recalled to us to-day, came before the people with a sudden bound. Almost the first signt caught of him was in tue blaze of his camp fires and the flashes of his guns tuose wintry days and nights in 2ront of Donelson. From thattime until the closing triumph at Avpomattox the great con- tral figure of the war was Ulysses S. Grant. As light and shade produce the most attract— ive effects in a picture, 8o the singu- lar contrasts, the strange vicissitudes of his eveutful life surround him with an intcrest which attaches to few characters in history, His rise from an obscure licutenant to the commaud of the voteran armies of tho great republic; his trausition from a froutier post of the unirod- den west to the exccutive mansion of the nation; his sitting at one time ina little store in Galena, not_even known 1o the con- gressman from his district: at another time striding through the paluces of the old world, with the descendants of a line of Kings rising aud standing uncovered in his presence. “These are some of the features of his marvellous carcer which appeal to the imagination, excite men's wonder and fasci- nate all who make a study of his life. Even the fvalor of his martial deeds was surpassed by the superb heroism he dis- played whon fell disease attacked him, when the hund which had seized the surrendered #words of countiess thousands was no longer able to return the pressure of a comrade’s grasp, when he met in death the first enemy 1o whom he ever surrendered. But with him death brought eternal rest, and he was permitted to enjoy what he had pleuded for in bebalf of others, for the Lord hud lev him hav cace. ‘Turn we now to Grant's immediate succes- sor in the office of general-in-chief, his illus- trious licutenant with whom he divided a field of wilitary operations which covered half a continent. the skillful strategist, the Drilliant writer, the commander whose orders spoke with the true biuntuess of the soldier, who fought fiom valley’s depth to mountain height, who murched from inland rivers to the sea—William T, Sherman. He has shown himself possessed of the Ighest characteristics of the soldier. Bolt in conception, self-reliant, demonstrating by his acts that “much dunger mukes great bearts most resolute,”prompt in decision, un- shrinking under grive responsibilities, fer- tile in resources, quick to adapt the means at hand tothe accom) ishment of an end pos:e:s- ng an intuitive knowledage of topography, combining the restlessness of a Hotspur with the patience of a Fabius, unswerving in patriotism, of unimpeachable personal character, of a constitution which enabled hiw to unde every hardship incident to uu active campaign, it 18 no wonder that he s fillod $0 large a measure of military greatuess, that he stands in the front ranlk of the world’s great captains, No name connected with the army inspires more genuine enthusiasm, appeals more to our sentiments or more excites our funcy than that of the wizard of the battlefield, Philip H, Sheridan, The personification of chivalry, the incarnation ot battle; cheering, threatening, inciting, beseeching, inspiring ali men by his acts, e roused bis troops to deeds of fudividual heroism unparalicied in tho history of modern warfare, and his un- conquerable columns rushed 1o vietory with all the contidence of Ciosar's Yenth Legion, Generous of his life, gifted with the ingenu- ity of a Hannibal, the dash of a Murat, the courage of a Ney, the mugnetism of his pres- ence trausformed rout squadrons with charging columus and suatehed victory from defeat. Ho preforrod shot and shell to flags of truce; he would rather lead forlorn hopes than folow in the wake of charges. His standard rose above all others on the fleld; wherever blows fell thickest his crest ‘was in *heir midst, despite tho daring valor of the defense; opposing ranks went down beforo the flerceness of his ousels never 1o rise again; he paused not till the fold of his bauuers waved above the strongholds he had wrested from the foe, While his achieve- monts in aetunl batile eclipse, By their bril- Hanoy, the strategy and grund taclios eum- ployed in bis campaigns, yet the skill and Loldness exbibited in moviug large bodics of men into position entitle him to as much credit as the warvellous qualities he dis- played iu the face of the eneiny. Brave Sheridan! Metuinks I seo your silent clay again quickened nto life, once wmwore riding Riensl through a five of hell, leaping opposiug earthworke a1 u single bound, and Jeaviug uothivg of those who barred our way except the Iragmeuts scat tered Lo your patl Mutchloss leader ! we salute you! As loug us courage 1s talked of or heroic Harbinger of victory, deeds are honored theré will remmin green in the hearts of men the talismanic name of Sheridan, Nearly every groat war has given birth to one great generaiy no other war than our own has produced three such eminent com- manders, In their portraits future graduates will guze upon the features of three soldiers who were heroos, comrades, friends. As iron is welded in the heatof the forge, so was their friendship welded in the heat of bat- tles, With hearts untouched by jealousy, with souls too great for rivalry, they saved us from the apectacle presentsd by a Marius and a Sulla, a Cresar and a Pompey, & Charles the First and a Cromwell. They placed above all personal ends and safoty of tho state, and,@liko the men in the Roman phalanx of old, stood stoulder to shoulder and linked their shields agaiust a common 0e. ‘'he imperishable scroll on which the reo- ord of their deeds is written has been se- curely lodged in the highest nicho of Famo's temple. No one can pluck a single laurel from their brow; no man can lessen tho measure of thoir rénown. 1t is an auspicious circumstance which per- mits these coremonies to take place before so distingnished and influential a body as that of tho Intornaiional American congross, The presence of its delegates upon this post dedi- cated to war is an augury that states may bo saved without the sword; that hencetorth our differences in the new world may be settled without rosorting 1o the ‘“last argu- ments of kings,” and that congre Vear- fng in their hands the olive branch, will labor to avoid war, which waste & nation's substance; to foster commerce, which 1s a nation’s life, and to preserve that peace and good-will which should everywhere prevail amongst men, Chree years ago there was selected as pres. ident of ‘your board of visitors a citizen of Philaderphia, whose heart is as large as hrs purse and whose eenerosity dwells in o land which knows no frontiers—Mr. George W.

A special committee of the grand jury has been appointed to draft a report, which will be returned into Horton’s court Saturday next, The report will quote freely from the state laws and the city ordinance on the suoke, lottery and gambling offenses, and the point will be made that the regulation of such matters is not proper work for the grand jury.

The St. Paul, which has the longest line betyeen. the boints named, is taking the lion's share of the traffic, and the Burlington claims its own traflic hus thereby been reduced to 7 per cent of the total in- stead of 17 per cent, which it carried before the association was organized. It developed in the hearing that none ot the other roads sided with the Burlington, the argument being advanced that if the traflic were apportioned between the roads it -would be nothing more nor less than pool- ing, aud cousequently illegal. Tho argument was acknowledged a strong one, but the question wis pointedly asked by the Burlington _why the point was brought up now, when it was ignored on the corres- pondng complaint of the Alton. The case wi fully argued to-day and it is thought a decision_will be reached in loss than tho usual ten days.

He merely got the bur- lar interested on the strength of the well lled safe, which couid be easily opened and the plunder divided. Now the party who en- gineored the thing knew the lay of Snell's house, They sent Tascottor Gillan up to the parlor hallway with the pledge that the parlor doors were unlocked, and that in caso Snell awakened and came down stairs they should give the alarm and escaps without trouble, When they were in place this party begau work on the safe and purposely made so much noise that Snell was aroused and came down stairs. Gillan or Tascott heard him and gave the alarm. He then started to get out through the parlor, but found the door locked. He was caughtin atrap and had to kill Srell to get out. This is what the prime promoter in the affair planned for. But it was only half what it was ex- pected to _accomplish. It was thought that Gillan or Tascott would have to fight lively to protect himself, and 1t was expected, kuowing the determined character of Snell, that they would also be shot down, and thus, while the removal of Snell was accom- plished, the men who did it would be unable to give any of the particulars or betray their principal,”? ‘*Have you anything like proof as to who this principal was ! *‘Yes, sir, and I say it in the most positive manner possible, but I can’t tell you now, of course.”” IN THE Oct. 3.—Result of to-day’s 00100010 0- 00005003282 tsburg 8, Boston 10, Boston 2.
