HASTINGS, Mimi, Sept. 9.-The Presidential
party in high spirits when it left St. Paul
this morning. His excellency looked refreshed
and invigorated after his rest of nearly two
days, and all Others, having shaken Minneso-
ta's dust off their shoes and clothes, looked as
though they were going to reception instead
of beginning another long and tedious trip.
Devens the man of many words ond Jewish
countenance, was more jolly juvenile than
dignifed jurist; LIE Due laid aside his weighty
agricultural load for the nonce and skipped
about with all the exuherance of an end man
at minstrel show. VIM. Henry Smith fitted
hither and thither sleek as dominic and i'm
portant a chief magistrate of u nation. The
ladies of the party were out in their best bibs,
and all went away declaring that they never
had had such good time in their lives as dur
ing their visit to and sojourn in Minnesota.
The enthusiastic St. Paulites sent up loyal
cheer the train drew out of the station;
there was also a dash of music mingled with
the rumbling of the car wheels, and then the
journey to the East became an actually.
The run from st. Paul to this place was
made in very good time, and without many in
cidcnts of special import. Although
somewhat behind time when your city
was left, accelerated speed brought us here
nearly up to the schedule. The party returning
is IN the main that which arrived in st. Paul on
Thursday last, although two or three had
dropped out, and gone home by different routes.
The President is very enthusiastic, or at least
about us enthusiastic as men of high position
dare to be, regarding his Minnesota journey.
While the train vas speeding along towards
Hastings, the GLOBE representative, who has
accompanied the party since it left Chicago
enjoyed the ride with personal friend in the
Presidential car, and had the pleasure of listen
ing to and joining in a conversation on this sub
ject.
Mr.. Hayes remarked that while he had on
one former oscason had the pleasure of trip
to the far Northwest, he had never appreciated
so fully as he did now the vast Importance Of
the country, and the almost unlimited resources
which it held. Whether it was looked
upon agricultural or a manufacturing
St ate it was beyond all doubt. one of the fore
most in the Union. Where, except perhaps in
California, were such grain fields to be seen,
where were there such milling and numbering
facilities? Tho opportunity to visit Minnesota
had been eagerly embraced by him, for under
the circumstances. he could see more fully than
he otterwi- e would be able to. the great wealth
which was here spread out by nature for the
hand of man to pluck. Mr.. Hayes said it had
not alone been this, but his desire to meet the
people also that had been one of the great in
ducements to the trip. Wherever he had gone
nothing but the most fattering reception had
been given him. This he would ever treasure
in his heart, for he appreciated as fully
as one could. this evidence Of
kindly feeling which had been displayed
for himself and Mrs. Hayes.
