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.
