Saturday morning, bright and early,,
the President and party arrived.
Thousands Were at the cars to meet
them, hut as they reached the «ity
at 7:80, I “ moderated my trans
ports’’ and got my breakfast first, (I
had spent the night on Msriett-a
street so as to be in town early,) and
we started for the Markham Honse
at 9 o’clock, hot we had scarcely
gotten a half .square when We met
the’ procession of carriages. The
President Was in one with Mr. Hill,
and he recognizing our party, bowed,
when Mr; Hayes took off his hat and
gave us a low bow, which/of course,
made us feel very pleasantly.
The display of the battalion was
very fine. Major Henderson looked
elegant, and the] Atlanta people may
feel justly proud of him. Captaiu
Jackson also made a fine appearance,
and as I always have an eye to hand*
some men, I re-marked him partial?
lariy.
I, pf: course, .will not bore yon
about the speeches; the newspapers
have, given them. There was a large
stand’erected just before the Mark*
ham, upon which the party were
seated. - Mrs. Hayes happened to lie
near one end, and her arm rested on
the.. railing; the negroes crowded
around and bowed and smiled, which
she returned in a most affable manner;
bnt one old darkey, wanting to get
ahead of the rest, reached up his
hand, but Mrs President shook her
bead.and bowed jkmdly. I guess she
thought that was a little too much.
After the speeches, the ladies came
up into the parlor, and of - coarse,
wanted to see. how they were dressed
My party said I went up and felt Mrs.
Hayes* dress to see what it-was,! bnt
that was not so; I can tell silk too
well for that; but I went near enough
to examine her well. She is a fine
looking woman with raven black hiair
fixed very smoothly on crimps or
furbelows, and sho wore a myrtle
green silk of two shades, and hat to
liked, it better than even Mr. Hill’s.
'lie reception at the Governor’s^#;
va* tlie most enjoyable affair I ever
ntt'-nded; to say it was brilliant,
would not half express it; but you
know how I enjoy everything in this
life that anything can he gotten out
of, and a crowd is always m” element.
The Governor and lady received their
friends, Mrs. Colquitt introdm-hig
tlm President, and the Governor Mrs.
Haves. I shall preserve the. glove
with which I ;shook hands with them,
not.teuinir it be desecrated aga : n by
the touch of mortal hand. But to tell -*
you truly, it was a miserabx* fit, and
I had determined not to wear it again.
I also shook hands with Evarts, who
is a striking li keness to old Dr. Pierce,
Mr. Key, very strikingly like Mr,
Britta n. ' Mr. Evarts told Henry as
he was introduced, **pb, ye8,1 beard
you speak.” Mr. Key asked him
what he wanted, for he had compli
mented Mrs Efaycs , so highly, novr
was the time to spvak,, he. could get
anything ' You ’ can iiftngirte what
Henry asked for. For the benefit of
the female portion of the family, I
must tell you how the ladies were
dressed; Mrs. Hayes looked charm
ing in a black silk that teas a silk;
elegant don’t express it; no one tint
a woman could appreciate it. No
velvet or lace, except at the throat,
fastened with a diamond spray; in
her head, a few flowers.of the Ma
deira vine I suppose they had never
seen the Madeira before l shall,
hereafter, only wear Madeira o - my
head. I can give you no id a ot the
simplicity and elegance of her toilet.
Mrs. Key wore black s : lk; overskirt
Ait Imsqttq. trimmed with velvet.
Misses Key aud Evarts all wore black
silk. Young Master Hayes looked as
other bo;, s, only not quite a« rough as
out’s. The mansion was crowded,
even the grounds, and the band dis
coursed delightful music; everyone
enjoyed the occasion. After: the
crowd bad passed in and taken the
President’s hand, he. took his stan l
the hall, and the colored people
were allowed to come iff, and he
shook hands with them all. bnt they
‘did not go into the parlor to see the-
ladies All day you could hear such.,
remarks on the streets from the
darkies as, “Well, they tried mighty
hard tc put in Tilden, hut : they are
running after Hayespowerfalnovi”
Such is life.” But I am glad our
people gave him such ,a welcome. I

I expect I am one of a very ...few that
