Imposing Displny--LarGc Numbers In
Attendance-.PrOIuSiOn of Flowers,

The most imposing display seen in this
city for years, was that made yesterday in
the observance of the new National holi.
day. Early in the morning the streets
were crowded with persons making pre-
paHtions TO participate in the decoration
ceremonies. The weather was prOpitious
the air cool and braCing, while the sun
was Obscured by dark and rather threat
ening clouds. 1t was feared several times
during the forenoon that u storm Of rain
might prevent the realization Of the
hopes Of those who had devoted their time
to pcrlecting the arrangements for the oc'
CNSlOn, hut happily these fears were not
realized In accordance with the recon-
mCndatiOn of those who had the matter
in charge, our citizens very generally threw
their banners to the breeze, and not since
the fall Of Richmond have we seen finer
display of bunting in the city.
During the morning people began to mr.
rive from the country in buggics, carriages
wagons, on horseback and on foot. As
the hour for the procession 10 form ap'
proachcd, the crowd at the starting point
lin front Of the Court llOUscJ grew
larger and continued to Increase until
the streets in that Vicinity were filled
nearly asQuarc in all directions, Shortly
before three o'clock the members Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, connected
with Post ThOburn, passed from their

4 sharp dodge WAS practicCd in the
House today hy Mr.. Cessna, member Of
the Committee on Elections, whereby Mr..
Wallace, who was the contestant for the
seat Of Mr.. Simpson from South Carolina,
was declared entitled TO the seat, anu nc
cordingly sworn in.
As soon MS the reading OF the journal
had been finished Mr.. Cessna sent 10 the
clerks desk resolution declaring Mr..
Wallace entitled to the seat But few
members were prcscnt-nOt more than
forty.
The clerk read the resolution in such IL
low voice that members did not seem to
notice what the nature Of it was, or nj
least to consider that il was IN election
case. The Speaker then put the question
of its adoption to the House, and there he
ing no response in the negative, 1t was de-
clarCd adopted A motion TO reconsider
was then made, and II motion 10 lay that
motion on the table, which was adopted
with no dissenting voice. This ended the
matter.
The calling Of Mr.. Wallace TO the bur
by the Speaker to be sworn in was the
first knowledge the majority present had
as to the nature Of the resolution passed II
moment previous.
Objections were made by n score Of
voices TO swearing Mr. Wallace in, but the
Speaker decided that there was no way in
which the House could reconsider their
action unless by unanimous consent, which
of course could not hc obtained. Amer
several had made protests, Republicans rs
well MS Democrats, Mr.. Wallace was
sworn in.

DECORATION DAY appears to have
been more generally and generously OBJ
served Yesterday than either Of the prece-
ding years. Our telegraphic reports from
the leading cities of the United States
show how it was observed there, Our
local columns give the details Of the
events that marked the day here. The
day promises to become national obscr.
vance; and so long us its recurrancc serves
to keep fresh the recollection Of the sacri-
flee made by those whose memory it EN-
balms, so long let us hope the day will be
respected, the graves visited, the flowers
strewn above the hOnorcd dead and CRATE
full and rcvercntial words uttered in re-
mcmbmncc of their patriotic virtues and
their unsGlfsh devotion to the cause
whose success they purchased with their
lives.
