The Hon. Wm. D. Porter's Remarks nt the Reception given by Colonel Lu t li? era-An Eloquent Expression of the Sentiment of our People. At the reception given the Hon. Wm. G. Bryant and tbe Hon. Horatio Seymour, by Colonel Blcbard Lathers, on Wednesday eve? ning, tbe eloquent and leellng address deliv? ered by the Hon. Wm. D. Porter delighted every one who heard lt. In compliance with a very general desire, we have the pleasure ol placing Governor Porter's remarks before the readers ot TUE NEWS: ADDRESS OF THE HON. W. D. PORTER. Ladies and Gentlemen-I am sure we all feel grateful to our host, Colonel Lathers, for tbe opportunity of meeting and Interchanging views with bio distinguished guests from tbe North, both of whom are well known to lame one In tbe field of politics and statesmanship, the other In tbe higher and serener region of poetry, where, like his own ''Waterfowl," tie hovers, self-sustained in the thin, pure atmos? phere aloft. They come a9 friends, with words of peace on their lips. We give them welcome, and cordially reciprocate their friendly greetings. Once enemies, now fellow countrymen, we lay the olive branch on tbe altar of a common and reunited country. Let each one come with honest purpose, and over toe sacred symbol of peace renew the vow of mutual fidelity and a com? mon nationality. Tbe war Is at an end; what we now want is a lair, substantial peace. Henceforth, our fortunes and our fate are one; and li we would make those fortunes and that fate happy, prosperous and enduring, the flag that floats over us Bhould know no distinction ol part or section, but embrace In Its protecting tolds all parts and all sections as coequal portions of one common and un? divided country. Let whatever of bitterness or prejudice may remain on either side be burled out of eight. Let the memories and tbe Borrows of each be respected and held sacred. Let one hope, one aspiration, one endeavor for the common prosperity, animate us all in tbe future. These Irlendly vl-its will bring us all to a better understanding. There waa an "un? pleasantness" once; that ls over; but lhere ls a misunderstanding still. I do not mean to say the fault ls all on one side, nor do I mean to deal wl'.h any question of controverted pol? itics. But I cannot help thinking that tbe people of the North have not appreciated the honesty, depth and universality ot the senti? ment that underlay the great secession move? ment of the South. It was not only an honest sentiment, but a deep, sincere and pervading conviction connecter) with considerations of public safely. The cause or ground o', that conviction ls now removed. Whether lt was then right or wron/, well-founded or 1)1 iouno'ed, ls not now ihe question. I am deal? ing only with the fact ul ns existence, and tbe universality of tbe sentiment or conviction is tbe best proof ol its honesty. A whole people do not enter upon a great movement like that witb almost entire unanimity, and sus? tain lt for years wllb unparalleled sacrifice of blood and treasure, to the very verge of im? poverishment and ruin, without the sincerest convictions. We know that we were honest, and thal we did our very best to sustain our position. We know, too, that we utterly failed to do so. And men that have honestly and bravely fought out their fight, whatever the result of tbe coin oat, can afford to Icok each other 6trulght in the face, and strike hands and be friends again. In such cases men generally become faster friends than they were be lore. Tbey have tested each oth? er's mettle, and learned to respect lt. There ls no disparagement, no sente ol humiliation on either side. Where all is lost on one side but honor, that very honor of tbe deleated and the magnanimity of the victor fur Die h a ground upon which both may stand upon a footing of equality. If we did not feel and as? sert our sincerity and mauhood, we should not be flt to be accounted American citizens. We lost our cause, but we did not lose our honor. If we are Jealous ol ibis, let a gener? ous sentiment appreciate and respect the feeling. We stand in view of Fort Sumter. What a tide of recollections does tbat name summon up. It ls not my purpose to rehearee them. Fort Sumter ls a stubborn fact; it stands where lt stood; lt is and will be memorable in history; but lt may be used lor other purposes than those ol war. Within sight and bearing of the spot on whlcb we stand tbe first gun of the civil war was fired. Now that the war ls at an end, would to God that from this same spot and on this very night there may go forth voices that will calm the troubled waterB and charm down from above the bless? ed spirit ot peace to brood over them. Then will Sumter, which first broke the echoes of war and clothed herself with thunder, be girt around with blessings, and aland lorth lo all the world as tbe type and emblem of peace in a once distracted but now reunited land.

Progregs of the Work-An Elaborate Design for the Entrance-Improve, ments to the G round?. Under tbe efficient management of Mr. T. H. Oakshott,ine United States superintendent of construction, tbe work upon tbe new Cus? tomhouse steadily advances towards com? pletion. The modifications of the original de? sign of the building have already been de? scribed in THE NEWS, and it now remains to notice the plans lor embellishing the grounds around the building, which have been recent? ly decided upon. The open space between East Bay street and the west portico of the building will be converted into a tesselated stone terrace or platform, five feet high, fifty four feet wide, and sixty-lour feet deep. Tbe north and south sides of the terrace will be composed of solid granite blocks, panelled off Into sections of six feet In length. On the west side, on street front of the terrace, there will be a flight of seven stone steps, which will afford easy access to the floor or upper surface. The floor of the terrace will consist of alternate squares of New Tork blue-stone and red Seneca tiles, resting upon a layer of concrete supported by brick arches. The terrace will be surrounded on all sides, except that next to the building, by a granite blocking course, or wall, Ave feet high, which will be provided with an opening on the front to allow Ingress and egress. On each of the two outer angles of the terrace will be a large ornamental lamp, upon an iron poBt set In a rouBd granite pedestal, of ornate design, Alteen feet high by two feet In diam? eter. At each ol the Inner angles will be a similar lamp, resting upon a half pedestal ol the same heigh' and deslgQ as the outer pedes? tals. From the east end of the terrace a Alght of granite steps will rise to the Aoor of the portico. This terrace will give the en? trance to the building an appearance very similar to that of the Treasury building at Washington. The work upon tbe terrace bas been already commenced in the excavations for the base of the arches supporting the Aoor, and the driving of the piles necessary to secure a Arm foundation. Between the front ol the terrace and the wooden ienc : now standing on East Bay will be an unoccupied space eighteen feet wide, wblcb will be added Into the sidewalk of the street, which is to be par. d with smooth Aag stones, and will make a spacious promenade, nearly forty feet wide, extending along the entire west front of the Customhouse grounds. The Market street sidewalk will remain at Its presen t width, ten feet. The present wooden fence will be pulled down and replaced by a highly ornamental ron fence, with spherical, spear headed railB. The fence will rest upon a foundation of stone masonry, and will be divided off into sections nine feet long by a series ol granite posts, six and a half feet blgh and two feet square. The grounds on the east or water front of tbe building will be evenly graded In a gentle Inclination to tbe water's edge, from where two long piers will run Into the stream, and a handsome boat house ls to be built at the head of the dock formed by these two piers. The work on the eastern portico ol tbe building ls BO fur advaaced that that feature ot the building ls now ia something like defi? nite shape. The columns have been put up, and the entablature and the pediment are now approaching completion.' This portico will be In all respects like the western one, except that lt will have no terrace before lt, but will terminate in a long, unbroken flight of steps. The north and south sides of the building are finished, with the exception of the putting on of the fillet or crowning coarse of the cornice. The rool of tbe building will be pitched in form, consisting ot an iron frame of rafters and purlins eight inches square, covered with elghteea by twenty-four Inch blue slate, so that lt will be perfectly fire? proof. The roo! has been contracted for by Henvelman A Haven, architectural Iron workers of New York City, at a cost of a little more than $10,000. The centre of the root will be surmounted by a large Iron dome, the design of which has not yet been determined. THE COURTS. United States Court.
