Southern Hospitalities to Northern Visitors.
One of the most notable social events of the
Charleston season was the brilliant party given
last evening at the mansion of Colonel Rich
ard Lathers, on the South Battery, in honor OF
| the Hon., Horatio Seymour, ex-GovernQr of
etNaw Yorts and tie Hon. William Culleh Bry-
i ant, the venerable editor of the New York
.Eoezainq Poss, but :betteskunrzn- and emore. en-
deared' to the people of America as their loved
"Poet of the Woods" The cards of invitation
to this cat Home" of Colonel and Mrs. La
theirs had been issued for some days, and the
party assembled in response was most select
and fashionable assemblage, including the
most prominent gentlemen of the, city, with
their ladies, as we'll as number of military
guests from the garrison at the Citadel.
The earlier hours of the evening were occu-
1pied with delightful conuersozioae in the
elegant drawing groom of the mansion, and at
about eleven o'clock an invitation from the
host summoned the party to the parlors, where
supper had been prepared. After this repast,
Colonel Lathers introduced Mr.. S. Y.iTupper,
President of the Chamber of Commerce, who
gracefully extended formal welcome to the
principal guests of the evening, and expressed
the obligations of the whole Southern people
to the yenerated poet who had embalmed
in. the amber of poetry the daring deeds OF
"Marions Men," a song which had been sung
in many Southern bivouac, and had warmed
the hearts of soldiers at many Confederate
campfire. He concluded with the sentiment
which would be echoed by every guest and by
every true heart of the American people, that
the noble author of Thanatopsis might, when
his summons came to join the innumerable
caravan" of pilgrims from this world to the
world of spirits, depart "like one who wraps
the drapery of his couch about him, and lies
down to pleasant dreams"
Mr.. BRYANT responded in brief but beauti-
full and touching address. He modestly waived
the compliments that had been addressed to
him. and thanked the preceding speaker, and,
through him, the assembled guests, for the
kird and cordial welcome extended to him.
Turning from that subject however, he said
that in his walks through Charleston ne mad
not failed to note how, by the silent processes
of Nature, the wrecks and deyastatlons OF the
war were being covered and effaced by growths
of the fresh spring time, and he could not help,
hoping and believing that in the same way aud
bv similar inscrutable and divine evolutions of
! the will of Providence, the moral wounds OF
the war would be healed and greened over
with new, health-giving growths OF moral SEN
timents and impulses, which would make the
picture fairer even than it was before the rude
4 shocks of war had marred its beauty. He
trusted and believed that the chivalrous,
kniphNy. generous race which had made
Southern society what it was in happier days
before the war; preserved even in its over
| throw the vitality which would produce from
the fallen trunk new shoots of life and vigor,
which would restore, in more than pristine
beauty, the fair fabric of the Southern Com
monwealths.
The host next called upon the Hon. j. B.
Campbell for q sentiment, and he responded In
graceful past-cenital address, proposing the
health of the Hon. Horatio Seymour, whose
public services he enumerated, and whose pres
ence in Charleston he warmly welcomed.
| Governor Seymour responded to the applause
of this sentiment by thanking the ladies and
gentlemen for their kind welcome, and he made
graceful, appropriate and eloquent address,
in which he alluded to the evident signs OF re-
turning material prosperity observed through
out the Southern States and nowhere in more
marked degree than in Charleston, and CRATE
fully mentioned the warm welcome and kindly
expressions of esteem which had been given
not only to himself, but to the hundreds of
Northern people who had been soourners in
the South during the past few years. The
South, he said, had now passed through, and
was rapidly emerging from, the difficulties and
embarrassments which had followed in the
wake of war, and her future promised to be
bright and glorious, and it remained to be seen
| whether the South bad not, in the long run,
come better out of the conflict than the North.
There, there had been less of material disaster
Immediately following the war, but its events
had enkindled spirit of gigantic speculatlons,
unsafe ventures and a perversion of business
principles to the spirit of gambling on tre-
mendous scale, so that it was painful to con-
template the possible result in the next few
wears. On the whole, he heartily congratulated
the gentlemen of the South, and especially
those of the City by the Sea, upon the energy
which they had displayed, under the most dis
advantageous circumstances, and the evidences
of their returning material prosperity, which
were everywhere apparent.
Colonel Lathers next proposed the health OF
Ex-Governor w. D. Porter, who responded in
an elegant and finished address, full of dignity
and reverence for the traditions and memories
of the past and hopeful auguries for the future
| of the State.
The remainder of the evening was pleasantly
spent by the guests in the interchange of social
courteseis, and the party repaired to their car,
riages and their homes at late hour, charmed
with the elegant hospitality of their host and
hostess and retaining pleasant reciprocal recol-
lections of the Northern guests and Southern
entertainers Charleston Ntaos.
