THE iSTkREsT kxHIBITkp.
Nothing has ever ocouned in this city tina, has awak
ened So deep interest in the minds Of people, a.
did this demonstration Long before the processioR
appeared in the heart of the city, every spot from
whence view could be obtained along the line q
march was appropriated and thousands Of fair ladies'
adorned the windows. balconies. and docr-ways, for
miles in extent As the procession reached the junction
OF Clay and Montgomery streets. the scene was ono
truly grand aud impressive This popular thoroushisrs.
ilum Clay 10 California, was densey packed with
aimed men, and the glistenng bayonets observed from
an eeyaed position, a sight not often beheld in
ones lifetime.
At MANY places the ladies. who had gathered upon
the balconies 10 see the parade bestowed their approval
and manifested their sympathy with the Committee ~
waving their handkerchiefs and showcring boquets
those gifts that thousands of the muskets in the ranks
were eventually ornamented with flowers placed III tho
muzzle.
One instance is worthy Of special notice account
Of the degree of enthusiasm manifested by the person
alluded to. While the procession was passing the
house of Capt X. J. Wand, water corner OF Powell and
Jackson streets, Ms. Vrndewater stood upon the
balcony with a handkerchief in each hand and con.
nteIy ais she would scatter boquets upon the compa
MICS which she had prepared in great abundance for
the ccsson. Tie recipients Of her favors and e
attention did not tail TO properly recognize her. and
return acknowledgements for the compliments bestowed
THE EFFECT OF THE CELEBRATION
The wisdom propriety and necessity OF the celebrs-
ton Yesterday can be no longer doubted II has de-
mopsraed TO the enemies of the Committee well -
some of its doubling friends and to the world. that
they still united and can show, when occasion rc
quires All unbrokon front. They are charged ny the
eliminating press with being mob. The exhibitions
of Yesterday most epphacay gives the lie 10 this in
famous libel Were they possessed Of such spirit, Is
would be an easy matter TO effect any object they might
deaire but the history of the Committee does not FUR
nish instance of any attempt to ask tor or do any
thing not for the public good
They possess the numerical, physical, intellectual
ard moral strength of this community, and the will OF
the Committee is omnpotcnt, yet II never has peen
III ed but for the best of purposes. Here, then,
rcutation Of this foul charge They are called traitors.
and governed by reasonable designs well u they arc
traitors the display yesterday shows that there Is
numerous band of them; and II their dongs DO trca-
son let The dirty scavengers OF the malignant press
make the most OF il. They called traitors because
they are not willing to sit quietly by and see the vaga-
bonds who have stolen into office use the power OF the
Constitution 10 debase and insult our ctIens ana snoos
them down without proyocation, and sheld themselves
underthe law. Does it need any argument to prove
that this Committee have ore respect TOR the Consul
uon and laws of our country than their winners whe
shield themselves under the title Of law ana order
and continually crouk about the usurpation Of tho
Committee. No rational man needs any such argu'
EruNlos At THE ORIENTAL HOTEL.
After the various companies had been dismissed, q
spontaneous reunion Of several members OF the Execu-
tive Committee, Marshal Doane and staff the medical
staff and several of the General Committee took place
at the Oriental Hotel. Col. james Dows INTRODUCED
several bottles of champagne to wash down the dust
which had accumulated during the day; alter which
several toasts and sentiments were offered, comph'
mcnting the different branches and companies OF tho
Committee for their ne appearance ana action yesei
day. as well as their devotion heretofore 10 the busi
ness of the Committee. VIM L. Coleman, esq,
President of the Executive Committee In the course Of
his remarks, in reply to toast, spoke OF the good
work already done by the Committee and that they
yet had much more to do. BY example. by moral
force, much could be accomplished. 1t was necessary
to continue the good resulting 30 far from tho e1etion
of the Committee, by continued vigilance, both
as members Of the Committee and as members OF
this community. The work of regcneraing Californs
society from the thndom of bad men, and OF vice was
commenced in earnest; and, by perfect union in the
work, there could be no question but the beneficial
e cts Of the would be felt for yeas. The speaker
hoped that the occasion again occur to call
forth the mass of the intelligent and viruous comnu-
nifty to take in defense Of their rights but H. un:
fortunately such deplorabe state OF affairs should
occur az 10 call forth such action, there could DO no
que ston but that the thousands who had this day
and before taken an active part In the Committee,
would respond with aacrity TO the call made Sew.
eral happy speeches were made by Grand Marshal
Doane, Gen. Olney, DIR. Cole, Captain Hampton, Col.
Vail, Col. BOWS, Mr. Bokee, Quartcnnaster Cole, Col
&. G.. Dyer and others.
After some two hours spent in q most pleasant man.
ner the company dispersed with three times three tor

THE NUMBER IN THE RANKS
Several Law and Order" men seemed to find .
deal Of consolation in the fact as they contended tnat
there were only about 5000 men in the ranks ysster
day. We overheard the estimates Of various persons
of this character who declared that by actual couns
there was all the way from ,8OO to 2,7UO Now,
would be impossible TO enumerate them while passing
in the street and all such estimates are entirely unre
liable. We havo taken the trouble to get the Official
reports from headquarters, from which we 10 am that
thu re were lust s. l3 men in the ranks and bearing
arms. Thousands more conld have been enlisted had
there been equipments for them. This estimate 10 "a
