BANNER PREsESrArIoN.-The ceremony of
presenting large and handsome silk national
banner took place this morning, between nine
and ten O'Clock, in the presence of many
spectators. The Infantry were drawn up in
line before the residence Of Jonah ID. Hoover.
Esq, the U. 5. Marshal for the District of
Columbia Esputa's band at the right. On
the appearance Of Mr.. Hoover with the dag in
his hands, the air Of the ''Star Spangled Ban
ner' was performed by those musicians in
their beet style; and when it ceased. that rem
tleman addressed the Infantry as follows
SOLDIERS / have been selected on behalf
OF the citizens Of this city to present you this
beautiful flag.
Nineteen years ago the " Washington Light
Infantry" the name that your corps still
bears, was organized, and on this day, Just
nineteen years ago, its first parade was made.
The interval between the organization Of your
corps and the present, I can safely assert, has
served to increase the confidence and admira-
ZION ELECTED by its first appearance, and the
example then set by your corps Immediately
suggested and stimulated similar enterprises,
which subsequently, proved successful, and
the result is the magnificent regiment Of Vol
unteers, now the pride and boast of the Dis
trict. b
The insignifcance in number of the regular
army OF the United States, even ut this day,
when our power and greatness places US among
the nrst powers Of the earth, when contrasted
with the armies of othe powers Of any magni-
tude, shows that it was Intended by our fore
fstners simply as nucleus around which 10

The Attorney General argues that the claim is void be-
