ppovIpF>cE. II. l., June 29.-Presdent Hayes
and those VINO have accompanied MIN curing HIS
visit TO New England must carry away WIN thc'n
the very pleasantest impressions. MASSACHUSETTS,
and Rhode Island might have shown proper respect
for the Chief Magistrate of the nation anu yet nave
done much less than they did; they might nave ten
dered to him formal reception, called out the NIL
itia for parade and review, shown nm the most lh
teresting sights in Boston and PROVIDENCE anu SUI
have al owed him to 70 away feeling that every
thing had been done from sense OF duty' anu that
tbere WAS no real heart in all the demonstrations
have ORGANIZED a show of enthusiasm, as they have
do,,o nm some former occasions, even wlcn the pco
nile cared very little either for the man who was
booored or the principles OF the policy he repre-
sented and still there might nave Dech
conspicuously absent something WHICH
# is difficult TO describe. but when
is of more I'M portance than crowds and decorations
paraoes and fireworks. But anyone VINO mas Wit
messed the welcome which President Hayes mas re-
ceived wherever in New England he has shown
himself i'm public, must have seen that 1t was not
the product of wel-arranged plans. Inc people OF
Massachusetts and Rhode Island evidently believe
in President Hayes. They respect him for the high
Office he now holds, but they respect INN even
more for his unspotted personal character, ana iof
fine statesnanlike manner IN which me has taken hold
of the Iii icuit questions OF administration; ana
there had ueen wanting those perfect preparations
for his reception which have everywhere excited the
wonder and admiration Of the whole Presidential
party, the people would still have found means of
giving expression to their sentiments.
Without doing Injustice to Boston and Massachu
sett.-1or no President was ever better received III
the Old BAY State-it must be confessed that Pres
dent Haycs's visit Rhode Island has been III many
respects the pleasanter for his reception was more
cordial and the XII dly expressions towards HIM ana
his family were numerous aud general. Ono or t"o
members of the party who have witnessed maiiy
great demonstrations say that they never saw any
thing Ike it, and if there any suspicion that the
President had offended the Republican sentiment of
these two States by his treatment of the Southern
question: that suspicion must have disappeared IL
is already intmated that politicians IN these Two
States. who have been haltng and hesiating, will
now take notice and make haste to get aboard OF the
Administration team.

decorations of the hail. placed there for the Grand
Army meetings, had been allowed to remain and'
had been preserved in wonderful freshness The
green slope from the floor to the platform, sur
mounted by the walls of a fort with It's embrazares
from which projected two heavy pieces of artillery
mounted on their carriages all constructed of
flowers, made a beautiful setting for the
picture composed Of children. just enough
tickets had been issued to fill the hall
without crowdiug and the programme gone
his party were greeted with cheers rom the children
and the waving of 800 handkercaefs, while at the
same time the hymn "Amorica" was sung. Before
leaving the hail the President passed down the aisle
to the platform, while the children in the galleries
showered down before him thousands of small bou-
Duets and loose flowers, literally covering his path.
His speech to the school children the best he has
made during his visit to New England and they have
all been good.
The Ieview of the Rhode Island militia on the
Dexter Training Ground. one of the finest parade
grounds in tho country. occupied more than

fired. The torpedoes were placed short distance
apart parallel with the shore, and Were fired at

into the air $50 or 200 feet. The effect was very
fine. At the same time salute was fired from Fort
