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.

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 weeks shall have passed, our staid old town will bo deserted by alt who can possibly leave.

Broadway, ifpm the Battery to Forty-second street, was-flecked with myriads of handbills which no body took any notice of except the rag-pickers who enjoyed it lmgely. Everybody else was hot and disgusted. Although the unveiling of the static of FIT7. GREEN IIALI.ECK ] had no connection with the Carnival, 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 the pei iod broke through the line 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 had reached the topmost pinnacle of tiptoe and elongated .his neck to its utmost capacity, his eyes had just rested upon the creature of tiie Returning Board, the head of reform; we repeat, his gaze had just riveted itself upon the casus belli between Senator Gordon and Joe Brown, when a certain unmistakable seusa* tion at the left side, admonished him that a process of abstraction was going on in that quarter. lie felt, and it was gone!

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.

[Baltimore Sun.] 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. manufacturing enterprise, which will cause Augusta no longer to bekuowu as the “ Fountain City,” but as the “ Lowell of thc South’’ Thc visitors seemed to be much impressed with the evidences of thrift and enter prise that met their gaze on all sides. Among their number were several wealthy capitalists, by whom it is hoped some more substantial and beneficial evidences of their belief in Ail of Athens’ ^harming" belles have returned home, much to the sor row of our gallant beaux, on whose manly hearts many indelible impres sions have been made, from which we are disposed to think that Clinard’s receipts may be materially increased.
