the imputation often cast upon her
of being ungrateful to him,who was
"first in war.first in peace and first
in the hearts of his countrymen. A
monument of imposing grandeur,
the loftiest in the world, dedicated
on last Saturday refutes not only
that charge, but a graver one still,
that the dominant party in power j
would control the ceremonies at-1

a brief address, giving an account j

The immortal Washington, him

his heart, his sacred honor, ami. if

and of action; and from his success

To him ami the memory of his

The grand chaplain theiiadvancing
said; "May the Lord, the giver ol
every perfect gift, bless all as?

heedful supply, the corn ol nourish

The masons present then respon?
ded, "So mote K be. Aliieii !" and
:he Masonic ceremonial closed.
Colonel Casey then reviewed the!
hitter history ofthe moiiitiiieiit.aiid
tornially turned it over to the Pres?
ident m trust for the people of the
Cubed States. President Arthur re?
sponded brietlx,concluding in these
winds: -To in \ sei I has bee'j assign?

President of the l iiiied States and ,
in behalf of the people, receive thisi
inomiineiit from the hands of its,
builder, and declare it. dedicated
from this time forth to the imuior
lal name and memory of George
Washington."
This closed the services at the
monument, and the vast procession :
moved toward tiie Capitol by way
of Fifteenth street and I'eui sylva
nia avenue.
The most noticeable feature of this
procession was the presence in line
of so many distiguished bodies oh
men. Of these the LTnion Veterans
Corps, fust company, commanded :
by Captain M. A. Dillon, made aj
grand showing. They were a fine:
looking body of men, and the per?
sons of many of them gave ocular
demonstrations that they had been]
no holiday soldiers. It was a pleas ?
ing sight to behold, and a pleasant
thought to meditate upon, that, in
this procession, old enemies were
marching as countrymen and
Iriends nuder the same flag in hon?
or of the greatest name their com
moil country could boast of.
Among the famous visitors from
abroad who were in procession,
were the "Ancient and Hon. Artil
ien. of Boston;"'the ""Governor's
Foot-Guard,'' of Dart ford, Conn:
the "German Fusilleers,'.ol Charles?
ton. South Carolina: the '-Richmond
Light Infantry Blues; organized
17!i.'>>; the Alexandria Washington
Lodge of Masons, Fredericskburg
Lodge No 4(both of these identified
with Washington's career as a
Mason), the"Boston Light Guards.'"
who were here on July 4. 184S, and
many other commands of note
As stated above, the procession
marched up Fifteenth s;reet lo
Pennsylvania avenue, and by the
latter thoroughfare to Ihe Capitol.
It made a grand spectacle. The day
was very cool, and the keen, cold
wiud blew in icy blasts, but the sky
was blue and cloudless, and the sun
shown with a spring brilliancy
upon the scene. The procession it?
self was a notable one. It included
representatives from nil seel inns ol
the country, the chief dignitaries
of the land, and the diplomatic del?
egates from nearly every nation in
(he world. Thousands of men on foot
and horseback and carriages filled
with guests, swelled out its length.
The broad srteet was crowded with
persons looking on, while from the
gaih decorated houses along the
rente thousands of men and women
?look d down upon the magnificent
I display.
The Monument and the man
; were the theme of the day's dis
I play. So there were two distinct
I ceremonies; and as the Monument
! was but a memorial of the Man,the
I ordinances to the former were sub?
ordinate in grandeur and beauty tc
the celebration to the latter. Gram!
as is the Monument it is but a
feeble reminder of the Man. So it
i was well that the memoiial should
. be dedicated in the open air, wit1,
all the simplicity of nature; but i;
j was wise t he Commemorated should
be honored with all the splendid
i accessories of the national capitol

The Virginia Coupon Question.
A large meeting of tax and licet se
payers of Richmond, including
many of the tn*?st prominent busi
uess men, was held Friday in the
Chamber oi'-Commerce. A long pre?
amble and a series of resolutions
were adopted in relation to the re?
cent decision of the United Stales
Circuit Court in the coupon case of
Parsons against (lie Slate auditor
and others. The preamble sets forth
that the principles involved in the
decision manifestly tend to ein bar
rass the finances of the State: that i
thisaud other decisions of like char- j
acter have created a suspicion that '
speculators are, by concerted act- -
ion, invoking the jurisdiction and
powers of the United States Circuit
Court for their own stilish ends;
that these persistent efforts of hold- J
era and of speculators in Virginia j
bonds may eventuate in the utter }
repudiation of all bonds whose hold
ers reject the. settlement offered in j
the Riddlebergcr bill.
The resolutions assert, first, a de- I
termination not to pay oroffer to pay
taxes assessed upon our property,
or the amounts required of us for
licenses iu our respective business
callings in coupons of State bonds
or in any other medium than such
as is required by the laws of the
State duly enacted by the General
Assenibly;seeond,that we do earned:
ly request all good people of the
State to adopt a similar course of
action, and thus avert the evils with
which we are threatened by what
we may fairly anil not disiespect
fully term (he novel and startling
principles announced as law by a |
.subordinate federal court.
What is regarded by some of the
State officials as an important
phase in the coupon litigation is the
difficulty the holdersofcoupons may
lind in proving the genuineness of
their detached coupons. A case of
this kind has been pending in the
Hustings Court of Richmond city
for the past, twenty-four hours. The.
coupons iu question were detached
from the bond, and.the second au?
ditor and other witnesses were un?
able to prove their genuineness.
The jury, after considering the
case 24 hours, were discharged
without being able to agree on a
verdict. As it i < alleged that f'r indo?
lent cnupotis may be ill the market'
the second auditor says he is unable
to verify coupons unless they are at?
tached to the bonds. It is probable
that hereafter the Commonwealth
will insist that in establishing the
genuineness of coupons the holders
shall exhibit iu court, the bonds
from which they were detatchod.
A Bill embodying this require?
ment lias already been drafted,
and will probably be Introduced iu
I the Legislature as soon as it meets.

Warren Leland,
whom everybody knows as the succcssfal
manager of Ibo
Largest Hotel Enterprises
of America, says that while a pneecnger frota
New York on board & ship going around Cap*
Horn, iu the early days of emigration to Cal?
ifornia, he learned that cue of the oftlcera of
the ve??; had cured himself, during tho Toy
agc, of an obstinate disease by tho use ol
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Since then Mr. LKLAKD has roooraraendtd
ATRR'a SAHs.trarilt,a In many similar
esse;, and he has never yet heard of Its bil
uro to circct a radical cure.
S:)ine years ago one of fir. I.ELATf n'ff farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
?tato of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the Injured limb. Hor?
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darling pains through the lump, made life
almost Intolerable. Tho leg became enor?
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr. Leland's direc?
tion, was supplied with AVER'? Sarsata
Rlt.la, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, ane
completely restored tho limb to use.
Mr. Lli.anu has personally usod i
Ayers Sarsaparilla
for Rheumatism, with entire success ; aad,
after careful observaliou, declares that,'la
his belief, there is no medicine in tbe world
equal to it for the cure of Liver Disorders,
Gout, the effects of high living. Salt
