" Mr. John "Welafc, of Philadelphia,
nominated A Great Surprise. -
Special to Baltimore Gazette.!
' Washington, Oct 30.
The nomination of Mr. John Welsh, of
Philadelphia, to the British mission, fol
lowing so closely on the heels of the Simon
Cameron fiasco, has created great ! conster
nation anion the stalwarts in the Senate.
His name had been mentioned in a. quiet
and incredulous way as among the possibil
ities, but no one appeared to believe there
was any reason for suspecting that he would
really be agreed upon for the first diploma
tic position in the government . His nomi
nation was determined upon last night, and
kept 8 profound secret, so much so that the
fact, when announced this morning ' took
politicians by surprise. It is customary for
Senators to make no remarks upon nomi
na ions before they come" up in executive
session on regular committee report,' ; and
hence it was hard to have any of them com
mit themselves on the merits of the selec
tion. Jrwas quite eaiy to see, however,
tbat no one seemed particularly struck with
the choice. One gentleman was heard to
say that he knew of no objection to Mr.
Welsh especially, beyond the fact that he
never had turned his attention to diplomacy.
He is regarded on all sides as worthy of the
positiotffrom his high character as a mer
chant of great public spirit and liberality.
He would be, no discredit to the country.
The' anti-Cameron men do not disguise
iheir satisfaction at the way Hayes has
been ahleto honor Pennsylvania without
Accepting terms at the hands of the Cam
erons. -. . - . .
Mr. Welsh was chairman of the
Board of Finance of the International
Exhibition, He. is one of the best
men of Philadelphia, in which city he
was born in 1805. He is in vigorous
health for a man of his age, and has
the confidence of the business men of
the city of which he is a representa
tive citizen. . lie has never been in
political office, is a pronounced Re
publican, but moderate in his actions.
His life has been devoted to business,
in which he has been eminently suc
cessful. He is a gentleman of quiet,
unobtrusive manners, as we learn,
and is sprang from a race of success
ful commercial men.

The Fair yesterday was better at
tended than on the first day, but the

has been expected, owing to the
weather.-Thet exhibition was good
and perhaps better in some depart
ments than last year. But the lead

jur. naves , and party were eon-
ducted to the brick building occu
pied as the headquarters of the Agri
cultural Society, and from the upper

The crowd that gathered around the

were stationed on the porch with the

Gov. James L. Kemper, having
been selected by the Society to wel
come Mr,' Hayes, came forward, and
upojte. -
(We give the closing part ' of the
excellent address.) .
Believing it is your good v fortune,
sir, to tand, in a great crisis, on this
iiindamental principle of our fathers,
we, therefore, rejoice in every assur
ance of your determination to -recog
nize and respect the equal integrity
and honor, the equal rights ot self
government, and the equal liberties
of all the sections, States and people
ot our common country.

sheawaits the return of her own
ancient historic era of . good feeling.
Ii is in her name that I greet you to
day; and I welcome you, sir, as a
friend not of Virginia, not of anv
section, State, party, or class but as
a, friend of the peace-loving freemen
and the law-abiding States of an in
dissoluble and indestructible Union.
, Cordially I tender you the hospi
talities of this Commonwealth; and I
tender them as he offering of those
who stand for omcial purity those
who uphold the cause of constitu
tional peace, of impartial justice .and
of equal right, for all the American
Republic.
b ellow-citizens. 1 have the pleasure
to introduce to you the President of
the United States.:
His remark's were often interrupted
by applause.
HE. HATES. ' -
Mr. Hayes responded in a tiftcep
minutes' address, excellent in matter
and delivered in a distinct, ringing.
voice. He opened by thanking the
agriculturists for the hearty recep
tion which they had given him, and
spoke in high terms of the kindness
and hospitality of the citizens of the
Old Dominion. Mr. Hayes then drew
a graphic picture of Virginia's advaiir
tages as an agricultural country,
dwelling at length upon this head.
He showed that be was well posted
on our resources, and gave some use
ful and well-timed hints. In conclu
ding Mr. Hayes alluded to oar pros
perous future, and hoped that our
ways might be the ways of pleasant
ness, and our paths the paths of peace.
The speech was attentively listened
to tbroughout,and was applauded by
the farmers, who best understood and
appreciated the body of it.
Secretaries Evarts, Sherman and
Thompson, and Attorney General
Devens next addressed the vast
crowd. Other speeches were also
made.
Following Dr. Loring of 'Mass.,
Mr. B. . Johnson Barbour, of the
Agricultural. Society, made a few
felicitipus remarks, in which he
heaped encomiums upon the wife of
President Hayes. He said that this
lady deserved, he thought, as much
praise for the-Presideht's Southern ,
policy as the President himself ;-that
she in a great measure was instru
mental in its inauguration. At this
there was tremendous applause. The
speaker then said, allow me to intro
duce tofyou v.) ty - j '.5i $
MRS. RUTHERFORD B. HATES.
She was sitting near the railing, of
the porch, and when her name was
announced she ' arose and bowed : to
the multitude before her. - Then the
people , all took off their : bats and
waved and cheered enthusiastically.
Mrs. Haye8 was about tor take her
seat, when the cheering was renewed
and she ' repeated her bows. - Her
face is handsome. Open 'and benevo

"- "I also had the 'pleasure of a visit from
Dr.-M. J. DeRosset ? of Wilmington, who
will' probably make this his home for the
future, with the view to the practice of his
profeasioa in those branches pf it of which

many cases of cataract, ahd Of strabismus.
the Doctor had successfully treated In Wil- i

produced when that accomplished gentle
man, and physician. Dr. Beckwith, of

restored sight to the blind. The profession

Col. Taylor informs us that he has writ

them of the invitation, so cordially extend

short in which to prepare for the occasion
tbat it is not likely any of them will attend.
Milton Nobles To-NIght.
The New York Evening ldegram, speak
ing of the performance of Milton Nobles
and his Comedy Company, who are to be
gin a two nights' engagement at the Opera
House in this city this evening, says:
"The Pboanix" is a drama that not only
takes with the masses, but is full of interest
to those who are habituated to every phase
of the drama. It abounds with striking
situations and presents a potent series of
pictures of the under life of the metropolis.
The role of the hero, who is both Bohemian
and Detective, is admirably adapted to Mr.
Nobles, and brings out in full force his
strong points as an eccentric character
actor." ... f . '
