New York, May 17th, 1877.
Jt was a hot, dusty, sultry day.
The public had had its expectation
wraught up to the highest pitch in
anticipation of the great Mardi Gras
Carnival by whose success or failure
it should be determined whether
Rex's royal rendezvous should be
New York or New Orleans. This
was the day on which it was hoped
that New York should, hy a more
gorgeous iKigennt, entice the royal
visitor from his flowery capitol in the
South to make his home in GothaifR
Broadway liad not been so crowded
8inoe the magnificent procession in
honor of the Grand Duke Alexis, and
| the meadc of decoration and display
that was withheld on the day of the
confirmation of Hayes’ election, was i
lavishly bestowed to-day. The city
was all aflame with banners, flags
and steamers. There came first a
platoon of police and a fine band of
music, followed by
THE POOREST PROCESSION
everseeti in New York, and witnessed-
byjthe greatest number of spectators.
The band played “Yankee Doodle,*’
“Marching Through Georgia,” and
several other sonl-stirring strains,
when President Hayes, introduced
byWm. Cullen Bryant, unveiled the
statue aud. delivered just such a
speech as any one elso would on such
an occasion. A very poor poem, by
J. G. Whittier, was then read by
General Wilson, and the ceremony
was over. General Sherman, Mr.
Evarts aud fib*. Schurz lent tho at*
traction of tMr presence.

Augusta, Ga. May £2, 1877.
Summer in tho full intensity of its de
pressing and debilitating influence has

ness at most insupportable. Up to
the fifteenth, the wlicather had been
most delightful, but sihee that date
the J beat has been scorching, the
mereary leaping in one bound from
the seventies to the nineties, and
citizens are beginning to cast longing
eyes toward the cool summer resort
of north Georgia, and ere many more

Everybody else was hot and disgusted.
Although the unveiling of the

still, it occupied a prominent place
on the programme of the day’s fes
tivities, and was a decided success.
We joined the sweltering throng
hurrying towards Central Park, and
arriving on the grounds, we found
that reserved seats, with a capacity
amply sufficient for a noted Georgia
statesman, but not for one of more
respectable corporeal proportions,
were selling at five dollars. We did
not take one, but elbowed our way
into the crowd and took possession
of just enough unreserved territory
to give us standing room. Every
body was on the tjui vice to sec
President Hayes, who was to unveil
the statue. An enterprising girl of

sentries and crossed the space allotted
to the procession ; the boys ahemmed,
somebody smiled, and all was still.
The dashing young fellow with the
cardinal-tinted nose got oft* one more
joke, and still no appearance of the
procession. Presently, it was seen
approaching, and your correspondent

The people, disappointed in the
morning, came out in greater erowds
in the evening, determined, if possi
ble, to see wliat of interest there
might bo in the Carnival; but the
feeling ot disgust was only heightened,
for the failure was rendered more I
dismal by the fitful flaming firelights,
being brought out in bold relief.
The King and Queen’s triumphal
car looked too shabby to be com*
fortable. Many ot the representation
needed a label in order for one to see
the point. Pocahontas seemed to
weary of Capt. John Smith’s atten-.
lion, and conversed with the specta
tors most fluently in broken Dutch.
As Columbus’ ship was passing in
front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the
telegraph wires crossing the street at
that point being too low or the ship
masts being too high, there was a
collision, and in consequence, a ship
wreck. The Boston tea ship coming
along some time afterwards, seeing
her consort’s disaster, prudently
halted, lowered her masts and passed
under the dangerous wires in safety.
It may be remarked here as illustra
tive of New Englan 1 economy, that
there were holes cut into the sides of

that he will need the* assistance of
the military to bring these men to

It has created much feeling; ns the

utterly ignored, and the people of the
county are justly indignant at so
unjust aud undeserved a slur upon
their good name as peaceful and law
abiding citizens.

VIEWS OF MR. TILDEN.
j Washington, May 22.—An emi-
: nent citizen of Alabama, who passed
through Washington^yesterday on
his way back front New 'York, bad,
while in* that city, an interview with
Mr. Tilden. He said to Mr. Tilden
that the people of the South were
convinced that he had been fairly
and lawfully elected to the office of
the United States; that the people
of that section, in common with thc
great body of the people ot the
United States, thought that Mr.
Tilden, as the lawfully elected ruler
of the country, should have taken,
early after the election, a decided
attitude, and insisted upon his
rights; that had he done so, and thc
proper announcement of tho vote of
the electoral colleges been presented,
the House of Representatives would
have ejected him according to the
forms of law, and made itself respon
sible for his induction into the office
which belonged to him.
Mr. Tilden listened intently to thc
remarks of his visitor, a gentleman
nearly twenty years his senior. He
replied that he had thought carefully
and most conscientiously over the
subject iu all its possible phases; that
he had become convinced that should
he adopt the course suggested, it
would he resisted by the Radical
party to the extent of drenching tho
land in blood; that ho shrunk from
the responsibility of precipitating
another terrible civil war upon his
countrymen, and consented to the
compromise which averted so dread
a disaster. He felt as keenly as any
one the impropriety of the means by
whfeb tho present result had been
brought about, but, for all that, he
did not regret his own action. As it
was, the people of the United States
understood it; the Democratic party
to-day occupied such a proud attitude
before the country, as it had never
occupied before, and no moral power
coaid resist its triumphal march to
success iu 1830.
