ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIspATcH.]
| WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The parade oil
Templars here to-day was participated In
! by twenty-seven Communicates, and was
| the most beautiful Masonic display ever
witnessed In this city. The procession
numbered about 5000 Knights, all dressed
In full uniform and bearing banners and
emblems peculiar to their Order. aud In
terspersed with many bands Of music.
The parade was witnessed by over 10000
people, aud the streets along the entire line
Of march were gaily decorated, and fronts
OF private dwellings, stores, and public
buildings were filled with eager and de-
, lighted spectators. The communicates from
Richmond and Charlottesville looked elc-
gantly, marched sptendidly, and attracted
| large share Of the general admiration.
The Templars were RECALLED ct Masonic
Temple after the parade with bountiful
rcpast and spent the Later hours of the
| afternoon in sightseeing. They left by the
L. NJ. train.
! Complaints come here from Massachu-
sets that all Federal officers in that State
| arc supporting Il. F. Butler in his chase
after the Goycrnorship. Letters are daily
received from prominent politicians in that
, State stating that the course Butler is pur-
suing is calculated to break up the Repub-
! lcan party Of Massachusetts,, as we'll as
seriously damage the best interests Of the
National organization. That such was the
opinion OF Harvey Jewell, and upon it his
letter with drawing from tho canvass was
written, with a view to harmoniz;ns the
antagonstic Republican interests in the
State. The complaints are from the most
! prominent leaders of the Radical party in
the State, who express 4 willingness to do
anything in reason to preserve the orguni.
cation thcrc-if necessary even to run
Dawes with this end in view. 1t is cur
! rcntly stated that Butler intends to Use his
commanding relations with the Federal
, Office holders Of the State to win the race
if possible, and that he will run whether
dominated or not i; In which case the cleo
ton of Adams is regarded as toregone
conclusion. TREDEGAR.

On the site Of the recent great fire. by
which half the business portion Of this
growing town was destroyed, one building
Is going up--a two-Story brick-for store
purposes. The rest Of the "burnt dis
trict" is fenced around, and the fence coy
cred with filming circus bills. Except on
tho, two hotels there was no insurance on
the buildings or other property destroyed
by this fire. Tho hotels and contents were
well covered by insurance, Two negroes
arrested as tho incendiaries arc in jail hare
awaiting the action of tho grand Jury.
they were arrested at the instance of two
New York detectives, to whom they con.
ieSsed the arson but they now deny that
they made the confession, and protest their
innocence.
y number Of the most respectable citi-
zers Of this. place have been bailcd to an
ewer before the United States grand jury
(c5iciiy composed OF Holden's militia), now
IN session at Raleigh, for violation of the
fourteenth amendment in Gas it is alicged)

This United States court has inaugllratcd
a reign Of terror, which pcrvadGs every
portion of the State, and many worthy and
moflensirc citizens arc singled out as vic
tins OF lis charges Of kukluXism and viola

! is dreadful state of things, apparently
without prospect of remedy. 1t all comes
Of Radical rule, and should be q warning
| TO the white voters OF your State to do

and future campaigns.
The apprehcnded tidal wave is creating
much excitement along some portions OF

Coon BREEDING-We arc all gentlemen
and gentlewomen, Any haint to the contrary
is gross insult yet every day we violate the
laws OF good breeding. Incivilities abroad,
There must be a radical wrong somewhere
Oar mansions and cottages are not all houses
of kind feeling and gracious expression, send
ing out genial currents throughout the whole
social system. Too many sit in dingy fustains,
with unkept and siipshod manners at their
fresides, and talk barbarisms at their tables
and then put on velvet robes and paradise
feathers-dress coats and suayity, and go forth
-puissant gentle folks But their fine feathers
will get away on parade, and disclose the
course habits beneath.
Slang phrases, ridicule, slovenliness' vulgar
attitude and oaths, are admitted under no sys-
TEN of good breeding, and the thoroughbred
can, by no possibility, be surprised into them,
Avoid them all.

A Dirge for May 30th.

Aye Crown with flowers each soldier grave !
All honor 10 tho nations dead.
Wherever freedoms flag may wave
Above the beautiful and brave,
Let loving tears for them be shed.
We gave our gold, our toll, our prayers,
Against the tyranny of sin.
A fuller sacrifice was theirs,
They gave themselves. Each freeman shares
The princeless boon they died to win,
No bugle,blast nor rolling drum
Shall rouse them from their quiet sleep.
Their hearts are still. their lips are dumb,
But we through all the years to come,
That glorious heritage will keep.
Wild flowers shall crown each unknown bed
The mourning clouds shall weep for them,
While, for the coral, ,pillowed dead,
Old ocean, surging overhead,
Rolls forth solemn requiem.
We weep for all, but faster fall
Our tears for that unnumbered band,
Who, for obeying freedoms call,
In bare stCckade or dungeon walls,
Were murdered for their honored land,
Aye Crown with flowers the martyr host
Wbitcrobe them with peoples praise
Our kingly slain Our joy and boast
Shall be to place them uppormOst
In grateful memory, all our days.
Great God of nations, hear cur prayer
Let not such blood be shed in vain
We plead Thy love, we claim Thy care,
Preserve our feet from every snare,
And over us forever reign.
