man, and many other distinguished per-

morning before ten o'clock. The Cover
nor and Mrs. Hendricks left the Fifth
Avenue Hotel at +. m. A friend, in
saying farewell to Mr.. Hendricks said
II have lady friend, an EpisCopalian,
who says she doesen't take much comfort
in the prayer for the President of the
United States and those in authority.
She says she can't conscientiously pray
for fraudulent President; and though
she loves the prayers of the prayer-book,
she will have to skip that one until 1880
when she hopes to make up by doing
double duty" Another said: II have
always been Republican and never vo-
ted otherwise until voted for you, That
was before I had seen you, but / have no
cause to regret it now" 1--WE shall keep
posted in your movements, and when
you return, the Democrats are going to
give you big reception" said another.
Several beautiful floral tributes were
rendered to Mrs. Hendricks. Governor
Robinson sent tie large steersman-
wheel that Tammany gave him. Mrs.
Belmont sent flower ship, appropriate
to the occasion, Mr., E. S. Cleveland, of
Connecticut, sent an exquisite boquet of
flowers. At the Concord Pier, Jersey
City, Governor and Mrs. Hendricks en-
barked on the steamer William Fletcher,
which, with another small steamer, con-
veyed the Scythia's passengers from the

be very pleasant" said the Governor. II
rejoiced heartily to hear that he was be-
ing SO handsomely treated in England.
always had great respect for him; espec-
tally as a soldier. He certainly was a
military genius, but he would make me
little mad, when he used the troops to
interfere with local self-government at
the South. l always thought he would
would have been greater man if he had
left politics alone. There are some men
whose great name could not derive addi-
tional lustre because they have been
Presidents of the country.
Governor Hendricks's state-room is
one Of the most comfortable on the Scy-
thia. 1t is situated amidships, just abaft

terian clergymen as fellow passengers.
