A Social Triumph for Hayes.
For two or three DAYS past Mr.. HAYES and
his family. including WEBn p and BIRcHARD
HAYES. have been in Philadelphia. The
family party was accompanied by Honest
JONI SHERMAN, Gen. DEvENs, and CARL
scHUI2, the last named having so far rccov-
cred from his recent Illness caused by an
excessive use Of strong green tea. that he is
able to travel short distances by carefully
guarding his nerves against exciting scenes
and sounds.
The entertainment provided by the cit-
zcns of Philadelphia for the Fraudulent
President and his fraudulent hangers-on
seems to have been devised with reference
to the state of CARL SEIZURES nerves. On
the first day the party was taken to inspect
the place whore the Centennial Exhibition
had been. In the evening they attended an
innocuous reception ut the Union League
Club The next day the visitors We're treat
eel 10 n sail down the river on an excursion
steamboat. In Difference to the alleged tom
perancc views Of Mr.. HAYES and WEBB Z.
HAYES, several baskets Of wine which had
been sent on board We're ordered away bv
the managing committee; but when the
steamboat was Of Chester. that adrot pa
triot and sincere friend Of the flag, Mr.
JOHNNY Roach, sent a small boat ashore
after champagne In the sly language Of n
reporter who accompanied the party, Mr..
JonNNY RoAcHs thoughtfulncss was zap
preciativcly understood from which we
infer that the remainder Of the voyage was
nothing more or less than mild orgy.
As one III his series Of systematic circus
campaigns to win popularity by exhibiting
himself, HAYEs's visit To Philadelphia was
dead failure. On another account, however,
it was n memorable event. After long-con-
tnued reserve on the part Of Mr.. c. WASH
GNGToN CHTLDs, 4. NJ, the Fraudulcnt Adj
miuistration has finally succeeded in sccur-
ing social recognition from that celebrated
maker of obituary verses.
Under other circumstances We might
speak Of the event as a social triumph for
CHILDs, A. NJ, but the gifted poet who has
frequently entertained the foreign nobility
at expensive banquets. who enjoys the cs-
tecm If not the personal affection Of some
OF the proudcst crowned heads OF Europe
and who Is the chosen friend and cOniidant
of the only living cx-Prcsdcnt, is not IN Il
position to be patroni2ed by Mr.. HAYES. If
he chooses to condonc Fraud and spend his
money on the fraudulent that is his own
business; in all Intercourse between CHILDs,
A. VI and HAYES, it is not CHILDs, A., NJ,
but HAYES that is honOred.
Since HAYES moved into the White House.
CHlLDs, A. NJ, has preserved an attitude Of
digniiied reserve toward that mansion and
its occupants. The patter pattcr OF his lit
tie feet has never been heard on the door
steps since GRANT went away. Why this poet
has 50 suddenly relcntcd we do not know.
Perhaps his benevolent nature prompts him
to do charitable deed; perhaps he feels
that he will soon be called upon professions
ally to write the obituary Of the Fraudulent
Administration. lie has certainly turned
the sunshine Of his favor upon the White
House at present, and the event is one which
no journal, with proper appreciation Of
what is significant and important as news,
can afford to overlook.
We copy from the PtJlic Ledger the fol-
lowing brief account of the hospitality
shown by CHILDs, A. NJ, to Mrs. HAYES and
WEBB p, HAYES at the poets private Office
