p,.Doratlons for the lnhuEuI"''OH'
Tpo Washington Chronicle Of Sunday
last, says; 80, ,.o.,or5ov IN
W., with Hallel kilbourn, Esq,
CSIp"Dy Sa;rr"sn Of the ball committee, TO the
S;rnciure in process OF erecuon ior M tnc
iUsrg,,ratiou. We can safely say, IN view
of IG i5s work we witnessed, that tho pre-
Oaraiions y, tII for the Inauguration ball are on
scsle of magnilicenCe that suIpasses
.,,,L;ro ever before witnessed in this
oi,y On the ground Its dimensions are
oS9n, go bv $50 feet The main build
iSS % Is arched, the arches springing from m
tbe ground and running up proDaOly eO
ssst saId 10 be the largest ever sprung in
iSis country. When the decorations are
comnIeted, and the $500 gas jets are
IIChted. Tie spectacle will be one OF won
ierIpI brilisncy. The committee have
Jeiermined 10 spare no expense to make
the Inauguration OF 1873 one Of the most
memorable the country has known. The
expenses are oil betrayed by subscription.
Tbe building, completed, will probably
cost forty thousand dollars. 1t will &C,
commodate ten thousand people. All
Ne appointments will be oil that could be
desired. The ballroom floor Is 800 feet
long by 100 feet wide without an obstruc-
lion in all It's length and breadth; There
"a q raised platform at one end OF the
room ior tho President and invited guests.
;Tbe Annapolis and West Point bands
two of the finest in the country furnish
Ibe music for the occasion. The dining
hail Is on one side oi the main structure,
800 feet long, with access from the main
floor al various points along its whole
length. On the other side OF the struc-
ture Is a hall the whole length. with hat
and cloak rooms opening into il, divided
into small sections, so as to afford the
yery best facilities for ticketing all wrap
pluIs, At the south front OF the building
are large drcssiugrooms for the ladies And
gentlemen; room for invited guests, an.
Sther for The President, and another Tor
the ladies ol his party, smoking rooms,
&c, At tho north end Of the building are
rooms for the members Of the press, and
ladies' who accompany them. This
thoughtful arrangement Is one that will
be lully appreciated. The gas jets arc
arranged in circles by pendants from the
roof.
It Is safe to predict that Washington
will contain moro people on the 4th Of
Msrch than it ever before held at one
time. The Inauguration Committee want
that the people from every State and
Territory Of the Union shall see WASH
IngtOn In its gala dress, and realize how
far It has progressed beyond Washington
as It was before the rebellion. Inaugura-
tIon comes but once in four years, and Is
the day Of days Tor the nations capital.
When the interior of the ball structure
Is nearer completion in its decorations,
we shall give u full description. We al.
lude to 1t now merely to indicate to those
who are coming how complete are the ar.
rangemcnts Tor their entertainment. e..

The Howard University.

WASHINGTON, July Z.
The committee appointed by the trustees
of Howard University to consider and re-
port upon certain statements assailing the
financial management of Howard Univers-
ity and more especially designed to cast
discredit and suspicion on its President,
General Howard, have submitted their re-
turn together with statement of the pre-
sent financial condition of that institution.
Among other denials they say that the re-
corded proceedings of the Board of Trus-
tees will show that no single dollar of the
University money was ever voted as
gratuity to Gen. Howard nor any money at
any time under any pretext to which he
was not justly entitled in consideration for
valuable and indispensable services faith
fully rendered, and there is nothing mys-
FERROUS or difficult to explain in the present
condition of Howard University
The report is signed by Frederick Doug
las and George G. Baker. The third men,
Der of committee Rev. Ezra Whipple,

The GRIND Military Re-UniOm.

The GLOBE on Monday morning, fore
Swallowed the Military Encampment to be
had in Rutland in August. We find more
detailed announcement in the st. Adams
Messenger written in a pleasant way, I'M
doubleday by its editor, Col, Albert Clarke,
who is member of the Grand Army.
We have had plenty of officers reunions
since the war of the rebellion, but no sol
diers' reunion yet. Some of the soldiers
of Rutland, however, have been making
plans for one to be held there on the
9th, It'll and 9Th days of August next,
and the citizens of that enterprisidg town
are subscribing, literally in aid of the
scheme. 1t is proposed that the veterans
in every town in the State shall gather
at convenient points and enlist in com
panics, and they he formed into battal-
ions by counties They will go to Rut-
land and back for fare one way, go into
camp on the fair ground, tents and straw
being furnished gratis and can carry their
own rations or buy them there, as each
shall choose. There are to be no assess
ments and no expenses but just ones
own personal expenses, which may be
very light under the above named ar
rangements. There will be no duty to
be performed, no drill, nothing but to
eat, drink (water, and be merry. Prob
ably there will be guard mount and dress
parade, Just to see how it will seem, and
there will be speaking, singing of the old
songs, telling of stories and possibly a
little of that innocent amusement which
four men used to perform. on Il blanket
when they lacked table. In short it will
be three days of friendship with the old
friends-three days of recreation to men
who have earned such rest both during and
since the war. We predict that there will
be gathering of several thousand, and at
an informal meeting of soldiers held in
Burlington on the 4th. to take preliminary
measures to promote the purpose, there was
much spirit and enthusiasm manifested
Battalion commanders, who for the pur-
pose of facilitating enlistments and organ,
ization have already been appointed. Will
furnish all detailed information in their re-
spective counties.

A Tremendous Explosion.

New YoRK, July Z.
A dispatch from Cotesvile Pa, states
that the magazine of the Cambria Coal Co.,
situated short distance from that village,
in which were seven hundred pounds of
giant powder and seventy pounds of nitro
glycerine, exploded with a terrible shock
last Thursday night Every window within
radius of two miles was broken, and the
place of explosion for distance of five
hundred yards was torn into great chasms
sixty to seventy feet deep. Great trees
were torn up and hurled nearly half mile,
while others were buried under immense
masses of earth 1t is not known whether
any lives were lost. Three unknown men
were seen prowling around before the ex-
plosion, and it is believed they attempted
to steal powder to celebrate the 4th of July
with, and caused the explosion by careless
ness.
