FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. July q.

The 4lh Of July, just passed, was every
where celebrated with more than usual
spirit. In nearly all the cities, appropr'a-
tons were made by the aulho rites Tor the
expense of popular celebrations. AS the
people of this country have few holidays
the 4th of July will never lack due observ'
ance. Here we had very fine weather tor
the occason--the heat having been mode"
rated by coplous rains. The number OF
visitors from abroad did no, equal expec'a-
tions. There was one company OF volun>
,eer infantry from Baltimore. The chief
officers Of the Army and Navy, now here,
numbering about forty, escorted the Presl-
dent and Cabinet to the Capitol in full uni
form. Several ex.members of the Cabinet
were also present. The procession 10 the
Capitol, embraced "rhe brethren of the
Mystic Tie." whom the President had
specially invited, according to usage, to
assis, IN the ceremonies of laying the cor
ner stone of the new edif;ces of the Capt.,
tol. Ater the stone had been laid with
Masonic honors, brief Masonic address
was delivered by the Grand Master. who
used on the occasion the same apron and
identical mallet that was used by General
Washington, when he laid the frs, corner
stone in 1893.
A public address was then delivered, at
the Presidents request. by the Secretary
of State, from platform on the steps OF
the Eastern Portico. Mr.. Webster acqut-
ted himself ia a mastery manner. He
treated the subject of the history. origin,
and destiny OF the coun'ry-showing that
this scheme OF Government had answered
all the ends of a wise, and just. and banef'
cent Government. lie dwelt much on the
value of the Union, as indispensable to
Liberty. Towards The close Of the ora
ton he made an eloquent appeal to Vir-
ginia and Carolina, which ELECTED much
applause.
Mr.. Webster had written his Grafton,
and it was even given to the Press, and ac-
tually appeared in New York; bu, he did
not confne himself to the written speech.
Many things occurred to him as ne went
on, and the most striking passages in the
Grafton nre extempore. He is, therefore,
now engaged in writing out tie address as
il was delivered.
lis said that this is probably the last OF
his public addresses. He will not certainly
again appear before the public, in Speech
this summer.
The a!ledgcd fraud of DR.. Gardner, is
still the theme of much and various COM
ment. Very few, however. believe IN the
story told by MIR. Por'er, and no one un-
der,akes, of his own knowledge, 10 say
that the award to DR.. Gardner was obtain
ed by forged testimony. But understand
