hall. The windows, housetops and all
Il sible positions are occupied by deeply
Interested people. All public business is
suspended, ana there is general holiday.
The Capitol bore a motto Of very large
letters
"The only National debt we can never
pay is the debt Of gratitude we owe to the
victorious Union soldiers"
At the North Capital, at least 10000
school children assembled, neatly dressed,
and there was much pleasant excitement
among them in pressing forward to pre-
sent things to the soldiers. These chill.
dren also sang songs to the troops as they
moved along Pennsylvania Avenue. They
presented grand appearance.
AL! arms Of the service were represent
ed in full force, and an occasional inser-
ton of body OF Zouaves, served to relieve
the sameness and gave fine effect.
Moving up the Avenue, there was cor
tinuous moving line as far as the eye could
reach. Of National, State, Division, Brig
AIDE. Regimental and other flags. Some
were new, with stars Of gold glistening in
the sun, and these contrasted strongly
with the flags born in the procession bat
tered in battle and hangin in shreds.
Others were thickly covered with the
names and dates of the battlefslds wheru
victories were won by these proud vet
Grams. The flags and rifles were decorated
with flowers, and many boquets hung FROM
the muskcts. The troops did not, as to
dress, present a war-worn appearance.
al were we'll and cleanly clad, and their
fine marching elected praise from every
tongue.
On the south side of the Avenue 'front.'
ing the Executive Mansion = stand was
placed, hung handsomely and festooned
with national flags at various points. with
inscriptions ms follows: Atlanta, Wilder
ness, Stone Riv.r, South Mountain, Shi-
loh, Vicksburg. Savannah, Richmond.
