The day broke dark and gloomy, yesterday; but
about half past seven. the sunbeams burst through
the lowering clouds. and scattered them like prai-
rie cinders before the wind. Before O'Clock
bands of music began to be heard, hurrying to
their places of rendezvous whilst others. already
arrived were heading the companies they were
employed by. and leading them to the points
marked for them in the procession.
The streets, before 10 O'Clock, were absolutely
packed with en- eagerly expectsnt crowd of both
sexes, all ages colors and conditions. Clay statue
was so densely thronged that Hercules himself
could hardly have pushed his way through the
living mass. About this time the engines and
their companies began to gather on Canal street.
and each company quietly took its station, az
marked out by the grand marshal and his assist
ants. There was no confusion, no pickering, no
hustling. but was all done with as much order and
exactitude as if the gallant fremen had been the
veterans of Egypt and the Moskowa, forming in
review on the Champ de Mars.
finer or more splendid pageant has lever
been witnessed before in New Orleans. 1t greatly
surpasses any of the previous displays of the Fire
Department, and such was the universal opinion
among the myriads who witnessed it, particularly
among the ladies, who were enthusiastic in their
encomiums.
The Procession.
About twenty minutes before eleven o'clock.
the procession began to move down Royal street.
First came fifteen stalwart policemen. spread
ing ranks across the highway, driving the parti-
colored rsgamlfins before them like so many
sheep. Seventy-fve yards in the rear of these
came Grand Marshal Isaac N. Marks, with the fol-
lowing aids

RESTORATION OF PRoPERTY BELONGING TO GEN.
lea Washington special to the Herald says:
An application was received 8 few days since by
the secretary of the interior from Gen. Robt. L.
Lee, asking that number of articles now on ex-
hibition in the model room of the patent office,
which were once the property Of General Wash
iDgtOn, be returned to him a3 the Tghfn possessor.
They were left in the possession of the Lee fam
lily, where they remained until 1862 when the Ar
lington House was occupied By the Union forces
and the property removed. The secretary laid
the matter before the president at the cabinet
meeting on Tuesday last, and the opinion seemed
TO prevail that there was no reason why the prop
eriy should not be restored. Secretary Browning
has decided to direct the commissioner of patents
to turn over 10 Robert Z. Lee the articles claimed
upon the condition that they be identified. The
articles referred TO were deposited in the depart.
ment Of the interior by Caleb Lyon, of New York,
10 1862, and are as follows One pair of cendela-
bras, one punch bowl, forty-two plates, sixteen
dishes, three finger bowls, two vases, one
table, one mirror, lot Of gilded ornaments. six
sauce bowls, one money chest, one knife case,
one case for silver, one chest OF drawers, one
washstsnd. one dressing bureau, one set of
window curtains, four tents, poles and pins,
one blanket, one set of bed curtains and one
bed spread.

to be absolutely impossible.

Radicalism is on the defensive. For many long
years have they pushed the Democracy to the
corner.-N Y. Democrat.
The Democrat is one of those journals
which charge the crimes of the Democratic
party upon the Republican party. 1t is
proven that the Democr. tic party is the
only radical party in the country. 1t for
gets that the Virginia papers denounced
and opposed the Sham Democracy for its
radicalism.
If by radicalism the Dena0crut means Re
publicanism we acknowledge that it is on
the defensive. 1t is defending the liberties
of the people. 1t is defending the govern
ment of our forefathers. 1t is defending
the honor and prosperity of the nation.
Who is it defending them against? It is
defending them against the Vaccinations
of that set OF traitors who endeavored to
disrupt the nation. 1t is defending them
against the efforts of those men who are
endeavoring to dishonor their country by
forcing upon it repudiation. The word of
the nation is pledged for the payment of
the bonds. The repudiationists wish
to force the nation to violate its sacred hon
or, and break its plighted word. These are
some of the men against whose machina-
tion Republicanism is defending the people.
But the Republican party defends by at
lacking Its attacks have been successful
and the so called Democracy for eight years
has covered and whined before it as does
the kicked cur at the approach of his mas
ter. Yes, the Democrat is right-Democracy
has been pushed to the corner. And from
that corner it will never come out alive.
Democracy is dead in Virginia, dead in Ten
nessee and dying throughout the country,
except in New York city alone. There is
congregated the meanest. vilest of man
kind, the offscourings of creation, and
there, of course, with such congenial sur
roundings is the strong hold of Democracy.
Elsewhere, however, it is dying. From
every State in the Union comes up the howl
for help which proclaims that Democracy is
failing. aa e-L ~
With the motto of Universal suffrage and
general Amnesty, the Republicans of Vir-
ginia and Tennessee have won the battle
and dragged Democracy from its corner
lifeless corpse, and thus it will be in every
other State.

The Senter Party.

Now that the campaign is over we hope
that the SENTER party in Tennessee will
use the power it has gained to the best
good of the people. We hope that modera-
tion will mark. its course. e.... Sab. 50,
Above all, let SENTER and his friends be
true to the professions made by them during
the campaign. They have pledged them
fselves to the support of certain principles.
Let them keep their pledges inviolate. 1t
is duty they owe to themselves and to
those who elected them. -.--,-.s
Let them be true to the principles they
have professed and they will do much to
make better the condition of their State.
Let them be true to the great doctrine of
Universal Suffrage and General Amnesty for
it alone can restore peace and good feeling
in the South. They declared themselves in
favor of it-let them be true to their
declarations.
The time. for radical and proscrptive
measures is over This fact is acknowledged
by every statesman. That party will here
after rule which, while unswervingly loyal to
government, advocates the most liberal
measures. But loyalty is now, and will
hereafter be, the sine qua non of American
politics. The people will demand this.
Before the election the STANDARD declared
favor of SENTER 1t did so because SEN
TER from the first placed himself squarely
on the platform of Universal Suffrage and
General Amnesty, which was not done by
the opposing candidate.
1t was this fact that determined our pre-
ference. Each candidate claimed 10 be a
Republican. Each was to all appearances
sincere IN in his declarations Thus the
principles professed by SENTER being more
in accordance with our own, we expressed
ourself in favor of SEN'rER. Should SENTER
and his party ever prove false to these de-
clarations, we cannot endorse them.
The welfare of Tennessee depends greatly
upon the State government being in accord
with the national administration and we
hope that the SENTER party will recognize
the importance of this fact. In the mean
time we await with interest the movements
of the yictors and the development of their
intentions.
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1869-08-18

The result of the election in Tennessee is
q Republican victory SENTER, upon the
platform of universal suffrage and general
amnesty, has beaten those who were for
partial suffrage and prescription. The
Conservatives of the Old Line Wing. and
Democratic parties became liberals and
supported the liberal principles of the SEM,
TER Republicans. Tire Radical Democracy
was defeated, "horse,. foot and dragons.
The following from the N. Y. Herald, which
claims to beindependcnt in politics, shows
the truth of the above: :s.siI mrl 5ai hqa
The Conservatives in Tennessee bave swept
, everything before them. Senter is elected Gov
ernor by heavy majority, and there is proba-
bly, majority OF Conservatives returned for both
branches of the Legislature. No one viii be
surprised at this result; for the violence, bit
terness and ultra course of the Radicals there, as
in other parts OF the South, have dsgusted the
moderate Republicans The reaction against
radicalsm which was seen in Virginia has ex-
tended to Tennessee, and will run, probably,
through the whole South. The position Of po-
litical parties in that section of the republic
must have a powerful influence in the reorgan-
ization and course of parties throughout the
whole country. The victory in Tennessee as
in Virginia, is not a Democratic one; for the
Z Conservative Republicans were the balance of
power, if not the majority, in turning the cleo,
ton against the Radicals. 5.i'lls9 3.ss-s.ii
