Madame Adams artistic soirec was the greatest
social event of the week. Public men who had
summed that lady for fear of compromising them
selves with Prince Bismarck alleged in excuse, when
she reproached them, that their wives were dis
pleased at the exclusively masculine character of her
receptions, and wouldn't let them attend. Madame
Adam accordingly issued cards for the first Wednes-
day of each month to ladies exclusively to meet her
ordinary Wednesday visitors. As Parisiennes are
not supposed to care for politics, she engaged re-
nowned musicians, vocalists and comedians to
amuse them. To the worlds wonder distinguished
and honorable ladies connected with artistic
and literary society were present. President

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON. April 1O.-A good many Democrats
in Washington are grumbling about Mr.. Abram
S. Hewitt's letter to Colonel" Finley. They cay
that Mr.. Hewitt ought to have known that Finley
would publish the letter, and therefore that he
ought to have been very careful what he wrote or
ought not to have written anything at all.
very prominent Democratic member of the
House said to q TRIBUNE correspondent to-day.
after asking him If he had read the letter: II am
amazed that Mr.. Hewitt should have written such
letter. He gave himself clean away as the saying
Is when he said that Finley was trusted agent in
1875, and held the most confidential relations with
the Democratic National Committee. This confes-
sion gives to Finley an Importance which he does
not deserve"
What appears to trouble the Democrats most,
however, is the passage in Mr.. Hewitvs letter m
which he says the effect of the everlasting quar-
rels between Democrats Is to destroy the confidence
of the public in the capacity Of the Democratic
party for self-government.n The Democrats do not
deny the truth of this observation, but they are
very much offended because Mr.. Hewitt has given
it such wide publicity over his own signature.
