HAYES IN WASHINGTON.

WAsIfINGToN, Marcel, Ex-Governor
Hayes and party arrived here this
morning and were met by ex-Gov.
Denison, Senator Sherman and Gen.
Sherman, who escorted them from the
depot. About two thousand persons
voiceferously cheered as the party pass
ed through the lines, on their way to
the carriages in waiting. Gov. Hayes
aud his family were taken to the resi-
dence Of Senator Sherman, where they
will temporarily sojourn.
just as the Cabinet met, Gov. Hayes,
accompanied by Gen. Sherman and
Gov. Denison, called at the White
House. The distinguished party were
Immediately ushercG into the Council
Chamber where the Cabinet was in
session, and all proceedings were stop
ped, SO that the courtesies and Iormali-
ties of Introduction might proceed.
Hayes was cordially greeted and con-
graduated by President Grant and the
members of the Cabinet, all Of whom,
with the exception Of Secretary Morrill,,
were present.
The visit to the White House lasted
about twenty minutes, and then the
party proceeded to the national Capitol.
Entering the Senate wing arm and arm
with Gen. Sherman and his son, Webb,
Gov. Hayes passed quietly through the
corridors without any one discovering
them until they arrived at the Vice
Presidents chamber. Here Hayes was
taken possession of by President pro
TEN. Ferry, and congratulations were
exchanged. Passing into the Vice.
Presidents room, Hayes took position
on the right side and there held a re-
tssN S<,I,
tors and members Of the House, with
such visitors as were permitted to enter
after their cards We're sent in and inspec-
ted. A very small throng was about
the door, the major part Of it being
made up Of the usual idlers about the
Capitol. Most OF the Senators called
formally, as did nearly all the Republi-
can members Of the House. None O.,
the Democratic members Of the House
except those from the South paid their
respects to Hayes. Ben Hill, who was
one the most conspicuous, had a little
chat with him.
After the reception had continued
about half an hour the various members
Of the subsidy gangs throughout the
Capitol came rushing over, anxious to
present themselves TO the coming man.
The agents of the Pacific Mail subsidy,
the Texas Pacific subsidy, the Brazilian
Mail subsidy, aud the Union Pacific
subsidy all swarmed at the door, chat
tering and vociierating as they hurried
~ pushed by the doorkeeper.
A striking feature Of the reception
was occasioned by the clashing in the
cootn of two delegations from Louisi-
ana, each anxious to explain to Gov.
Hayes its side Of the situation. Ex-
Gov. Penn, who represents the Mich
oils people, had first called. He was
talking to Hayes when Gov. kellogg
entered, leaning on Senator Sherman
Kellogg was very pale and excited
He evidently had just heard of Presi.
dent Grants order to Augur to use the
troops in Louisiana only to protec,
United States property and preserve
the peace. Gov. Kellogg turned still
paler as he saw the Nichols representa-
satiVe with Mr.. Hayes. He dashed for
ward and at once began conversation
with Hayes. I1c demonstrated against
Gen. Grants order OF to-day, saying
that unle:s it is revoked the streets OF
New Orleans must run with blood, ana
that there was no peace for thut State
except by the recognition OF the Puck
ard Government. Mr.. Hayes said
nothing. Ex-Gov. Penn said that in
his opinion there would be no lighting
unless the Federal Governsne should
back Packard, who would not fight ii
he has only himself to depend upon.
He boldly declared that Kellogg cared
nothing about destruction of life and
property in New Orleans, but was solely
influenced by desire to get into the
United States Senate. Kellogg retired
nonplusscd and beaten by Hayes de-
cining to take any special interest in
what he had to offer. EX-Gov. Penn
remained some time after Kellogg's de-
parturc.
In a recent lecture delivered in Edin-
burSh, on "The Stars Professor Grant
gave graphic idea OF the immensely
of space. He said railway train tray
cling night and day at the rate OF fifty
miles an hour, would reach the moon
in six months, the sun in two hundred
wears. and AlD}la DpHfanri tho ,,ao.oc+
