Good-by to Grant.
Philadelphia, May 17. This
morning Gen. Grant took breakfast
with Gov. Hartranft, Senator Cams*
ron, Col. Fred. Grant, Gen. Sherman
and Hamilton Fish, after which he
was waited upon by the mayor and
committee of councils and escorted
to Chestnut wharf, where the steam
er Twilight was waiting to make a
short excursion up the river with
the ex-President and a number of
invited guests on board. A very
large crowd of people were assem
bled at the wharf, and Gen. Grant
was loudly cheered on his arrival.
As the steamer left the wharf the 1
people grew very enthusiastic, awtl
cheering, waving of handkerchiefs
and other manifestations uf pleasure
were indulged in. The shipping on
the river was very generally decora
ted, and the ferry boats, steamtugs,
&c.,a1l saluted the excursion party,
with their whistles and flags. On
arriving at Cramp’s ship yards, where
the Russian corvette Craysser is ly
ing, that vessel ran up the American
flag and fired a salute of twenty one
guns. After proceeding a short dis
tance up the river the Twilight
turned and steamed down again, be
ing convoyed by a number of private
tugs and steamers withexcurtionists
on board, all seeking to do honor to
the ex-Presi ent. The Twilight
proceeded to New Castle, where Gen.
Grant was transferred to the steam
ship ludiuna, in which vessel he
sails to Liverpool.
The revenue cutter Hamilton,
which had been placed at the dispo
sal of Gen. Grant by President
Hayes, was used for the purpose of
carrying Mrs. Grant and a number
of personal friends down the river.
The vessel was very handsomely
decorated. Mrs. Grant was escorted
on board by Mr. Geo. \V. Childs and
wife, Mr. A. J. Drexel and Mr. J.
\V. Paul and fami y. The party
which accompanied them was com
posed of a large number of distin
guished ladies and gentlemen. In
passing the navy yard the Hamilton
was greeted with a salute from the
receiving ship.
The escort of Gen. Grant down the
Delaware was the crowning features
of the courtesies extended to the ex-
President during his stay in Phila
delphia. Two steamers, as before
stated, were used by those in charge
of the affair—one chartered by the
city government and the other ten
dered by the national officers. These
were accompanied by twelve other
steamers and a fleet of river craft,
all dressed in their holiday attire.
The city steamer was for the use of
Gen. Grants’ escort, and the other
for Mrs. Grant and the ladies and
gentlemen who accompanied her.
Distinguished parties were on both.
On theex-President’s steamer were
the mayor and city councils, the
Philadelphia judiciary, the city del
egation in Congress, the United
States Senators from Pennsylvania,
the Governor and State officers, the
general in chief of the United States
army, four members of Gen. Grant’s
cabinet, the judge of the United
States Circuit Court, thegeneral gov
ernment officers in Philadelphia,and
a large number of citizens. In the
steamer devoted to the party of Mrs.
Grant were a large circle of ladies,
her personal friends, and with the
gentlemen of their families in wait
ing upon them. The other steamers
were crowded with passengers. The
wharves and shipning, the navy yard
at League Island, the large ship
yards on the Delaware, the factories
towns and piers all the way to New
Castle, forty miles down the Dela
ware. were decorated with flags, sig
nalsand bunting. Numerous salutes
were fired as the escorting steamers
passed down the river. The fleet
came together near New Castle, and
at point the river was covered with
gaily dressed steamers and river
craft, and amidst salutes of cannon,
and steam whistles, the dipping of
flags, waving of thousands of hand
kerchiefs and resounding cheers the
ex-President and his family were
transferred from their steamers to
the Indiana. The scene was one of
the most beautiful and inspiriting
ever Witnessed on the Delaware.
During the trip down the river
Gen. Grant took dinner with the
committee on board the boat, among
the guests being ex-Secretaries Fish,
Chandler, Borie and Robeson, Gen.
\V. T. Sherman, Gov. Hartranft,
Mayor Stokley and others. Speeches
were made by all the gentlemen
named, in which Gen. Grant was
highly eulogized as a soldier and
statesman.
Gen. Grant) in response, returned
ftinks for the honor conferred on
Khn by the speakers and by Phila
delphia, and begged that it should
that those who had
aided him in his mili
tary and civil positions were deserv
ing of their share of whatever credit
Was due.
■WASHINGTON, May 17.—President
§es returned to Washington
fly after 4 o’clock this afternoon,
was met at the depot by Colonel
his privnte secretary, who
accompanied him to the Executive
mansion. On his arrival there the
President was handed the following
telegram, dated “On board the
I’'"'truer Twilight” this morning, it
being in response to the good wishes
of tiie President and Mrs. Hayes to
ex-President Grant and Mrs. Grant
upon their departure for Europe:
“Mrs. Grant joins me in thanks to
you and Mrs. Hayes for your kind
message received on board this
steamer after pushing out from the
wharf. We unite in returning our
cordial greetings and in expressing
our best wishes for your health, hap
piness and success in your most re
sponsible position. Hoping to re
turn to my country to find it pros
perous in business and with cordial
feelings restored between all sections
I submit myself, truly yours.
“U. S. Grant.”
The cordiality shown to the ex-
President during his recent trip to
Philadelphia is the theme of marked
comment and kindly expression in
this city, where in addition to his of
ficial relations, ex-President Grant
had a large personal acquaintance.
Rapid Growth of a Town in the Black
Hills.
In an official letter to Mr. Barber,
Third Assistant Postmaster General,
Mr. R. O. Adams, Postmaster at
Deadwood. gives some details re
specting his office, which shows the
rapidity with which this new town
has sprung into existence, where, a
year ago, soldiers were engaged in
driving adventurours miners from
the country. Mr. Adams says, un
de- date of May 10th : “When I ar
rived here, on the 19th ultimo, I
found six thousand letters awaiting
me and an excited populace awaiting
them. To do anything with them
seemed impossible. I had no room,
no clerks and no facilities for any
thing; but I finally secured a place
which just answered the purpose,
and that was all. In the meantime
the largest case I could get contained
only thirty pigeon holes, which was
not of much account in a general de
livery of the size of this office. Un
der these inconveniences, I found an
accumulation, on the 30th of April,
of 3,028 uncalled for letters. The
manager of the oldest paper, Mr.
Merrick, was absent from the camp,
and the facilities for publishing a list
were so limited that it was impossi
ble, and to advertise by hanging out
a list among these miners was out of
the question. Mr. Merrick kindly
took half of the matter when he re
turned and published a list on Sun
day, and many of them were de
livered. lam doing my utmost to
supply the wants of the people. I
have now a general delivery case
containing over six hundred pigeon
holes and three hundred and eight
glass boxes. I have a building in
course of erection, and hope to be in
it within ten days. The building is
22 bv 40 feet, and will have over five
hundred boxes, which I think will
be rented in one day after they are
finished. This is as large an office
as I have means or can procure the
lumber to build now. but I am con
fident it will have to be enlarged.
A special to the New York Time*
from Raleigh, N. C., says that the
news from the municipal elections
in that State show a very strong
feeling independent of party, and
that the people of North Carolina are
ripe for a revolt against the arro
gance and intolerance of the Demo
cartic leaders. It is also reported that
General J. M. Leach, of Davidson
county, at present a leading Demo
cart, but formerly a Whig, will de
clare for Hayes and run for Congress
against the regular Demoeratis nom
inee.
In the Reformed Eqiscopal church
general conference lately in session
in New York the election of a bishop
for the Kingdom of Groat Britain
and Ireland was proceeded with, re

College,Dublin. The council adjourn

Rowdyism in the Name of Religion.
Rev. Henry Newman wright, pas
tor of the Independent Methopist
Church at Northville, Long Island,
is in trouble. The trustees engaged
him some time ago, but became dis
stntisfled with and gave him notice
to quit. He refused to go, and the
trustees gave him notice that he
would be excluded from the pulpit.
Issue Was therefore joined, and both
sides were determined to have the
upper hand. On the succeeding Sun
day Mr. Wright preached to a con
gregation of curiosity seekers having
obtained an entrance to the church
several hours before the trustees put
in an appearance. On the next Sun
day, however, the trustees were mas
ters of the situation. The night
previous word was sent around that
Rev. Mr. Wright and his friends
would break down the doors of
the church if refused admit
tance. The trustees and their friends
wished it to be understood that some
heads might be broken if force was
attempted. A large crowd collected
early in the morning, and were well
pleased with the subsequent perfor
mance. When Mr. Wright and his
friends went up the steps to force the
doors the trustees and their body
guard pulled them down. When
the trustees were at the doors, Mr.
Wright and his backers dragged
them down. It was ludicrous in the
extreme. The trustees came off the
the victors. Last Sunday there was
a very stormy time at the chureh,
and the villiage was excited all day
over the difficulty. Sheriff Smith and
a posse of deputies preserved order
and dispersed the contending parties,
all of Monday excitement continu
ed. At about 11 o’clock the church
was fired and burned to the ground.
The contract price for its erection was
$6,000, and about SI,OOO had been
expended in improving it since. At
the time that the fire was raging in
the church persons who were run
ning to the scene past the residence
of Mr. Wright discovered fire under
his front stoop, and but for this no
doubt the parsonage would have been
reduced to ashes. Each side charges
es the crime upon the other. The
church was fired in several places on
the inside, and holes were bored in
the floor to give it ventilation.
About to Hang the Wrong Man.
New Yohk, May 17.—A St. Louis
dispatch says: James Edmundson,
a half-witted brother of Poindexter
Edmundson, who was to have been
hanged at Bloomfield, Stoddard
county, for killing Wm. Shaw, but
was respited, has confessed that he,
(James) was the murderer. Itseems
that last summer Edmundson had a
difficulty with Shaw, during which
he was struck on the head with a
brick and carried home insensible.
When Edmundson came to his sen
ses he swore to be revenged. James,
on seeing his brother’s wound and
the scar after it had healed, became
frantic, swearing the direst ven
geance on Shaw.
Last October after Poindexter had
recovered, James Edmundson, dis
appeared, and shortly afterward,
Shaw was found murdered. Close
upon this and before the arrest of
Poindexter, James Edmundson sud
denly reappeared and told his
brother that he had killed Shaw with
a knife. The elder Edmundson
made the resolution to suffer death
for the sake of saving his weak min
ded brother’s life. He was tried,
convicted, and sentenced to be hung,
the evidence being entirely circum
stantial. A short time since, James
was taken very sick, and on his
death bed a few davs ago confessed
that he himself had done the deed
for which his brother was so soon to
be hanged. Hence the respite.
The Cincinnati Commercial says
that the ballot-box stuffing chief,
Eph Holland, plead guilty the other
day when arraigned, for the purpose
of saving the reputation of leading
Democratic politicians in the con
spiracy to steal the Ohio election last
October. It is not proable that Hoi
laud did this because of the reverence
he has for the leaders’ reputations,
but, because of the money they paid
him, which stands moro to him than
does his character.
| (One of the good things which the
late Legislature of North Carolina did
was the establishment of two State
normal schools, one for white the
other for colored teachers, the same
appropriation being made for each
school. This is the first attempt ever
mede by the State of North Carolina
to train the teachers of her public
schools.
NUMBER 13.
Gen. Crook and Ms Indian Campaign-
General Crook some years ago was
sent to the country of the Apaches to
settle a difficulty with those persis
tently capricious and defiant enemies
of the white man. In a few months
he had the whole tribe at his feet beg
ging for peace. The Auache ques
tion was a a tough one, but he set
tled it. * * * The Government
was troubled in 1875 with a Black
Hills problem. Daring and resoluto
men, encouraged by a semi official
report, went to the Indian country in •
great numbers in search of gold. The
Government declared that they must
not go to the Hills, but they went.
After they were there Indians threat
ened, but not a miner budged. The
Government ordered them out, but
not a miner went. This was a tough
question, and General Crook was sent
to settle it. And he did. In a few
weeks the miners moved from the
points where there had been cause
for irritation, and the GoveAiment
was relieved from embarrassment.
* * * Then came the Sioux war.
It was a heavy contract, and the cir
cumstances and incidents of the open
ing campaign were discouraging
enough. But General Crook persis
ted. The Sioux have surrendered or
are seeking opportunity to surrender.
Judged by results, the work of Gen
eral Crook has been successful to an
extraordinary degree. Results best
g'uage success in any field, and peo
ple would rather read of the uncon
ditional surrender of a dangerous en
emy than a great battle in which the
eDemy had been defeated. We may
not be clear as to the methods the
old Indian fighter employs, hut we
know that he accomplishes what he
sets out to accomplish, and this
important. General Crook deserves
great credit for the manner in which
he has handled the Sioux question.—
