From our Regular Correspondent
Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. G. Aug. 81, 1880.
The campaign was opened in the Dis
trict last night most brilliantly by the
various republican state committees. A
procession was formed on New York
avenue. and with music. torches, and trans
parencies marched down 18th street,
thence along Pennsylvania avenue and
Louisiana avenue to the city hall. This
somewhat antique hotel dc Uille, had been
adorned With banners, transparencies and
designs in gas Jets. The names of the re-
publican candidates were beautifully out
lined in flame. The tall white statue oil
the first republican president, holding the
proclamati' of emancipation in his hand,
formed suggestive frontispiece to the
scene.
Speeches were made by Secretary Sher-
man, Gen. Burdett and Hon A. G.. Riddle.
The speech of the last gentleman, who is
an author of the life OF the next President,
contained such Just and beautiful tribute
to him, that think you will like to pub
lish it in full:
"Lowly as he was born, humble as his
early years were, the qualities which made
him great were all with and in him then.
No great men sought him out and sent
| him to West Point; no kind fortune smiled
and beckoned him away; no new life
came and shed new grace upon him, or
clothed him with new qualities or new
character. All he ever had his father and
mother gave him. God was with Nun,
the heavens were over him, and he went
on, and on, and on. til! that which was in
him led him out and up drew the eyes of
men to him till the nation caught its ray,
and now asks it to light up the way of its
own great onward march. This is our
man! Great hearted, great.souled, broad
natured, with a mighty mind. He too,
was a warrior, not turned out at West
Point, but such as God makes when He
wants a warrior as He did a few years ago
What other man of the thousands brave
and skillful signalzcd their entrance upon
the field by an exploit,-a campaign equal
to that he planned and executed? Oh,
you brag of your Hancock Strip him of
his buttons and gliding and place him.
man for man beside ours, grand and
simple rs God made him, and let the in
stnctive people say which they will have.
Ours was a soldier, warrior, general, n
hero, till he was wanted for better and
higher work. Anybody can kill men
great many bodies, and many no great
bodies can lead men in battle Hancock
can do that, and do it well it is all he can
do. Garfield was wanted for better work,
and he came here to the capital, and here
you made his acquaintance seventeen years
ago, Much of the time since he has lived
here with his wife and children, coming and
going in your presence. You have all seen
him, heard, and most of you know him.
His children have gone to school with
yours. shall not follow him further.
His great record is before you, luminous
with his years of grand service. He has
grown up in your midst. You know all |
his ways and associates Not man of you |
but knows his life is pure and blameless."

According to all accounts the triennial
Conclave of Knights Templar at Chicago
was gigantic fraud and fizzle, owing
partly to the cupidity of the people of Chi.
cago and partly to the fact that the thing,
in all its details, was planned on much toe
large scale. The procession was too un.
weildy to be handled, the banauet halls
were utterly unequal to the army of guest,
beseiging them, and most of those invited
to the big ball were forced to be conten,
with precarious standing room outside
Tn" programme in no instance reached a
satisfactory lultillnent. The lriennal com
mit'ee, which had three years To complete
its plans. comes in for large share of cri
ticism among Knights and through the
press. But the sorest feature of the occn
sion was probably the manner in which the
Knights were so outrageousy swindled in
every step of their perambllatinns aboul
Chicago Altogether Chicago has reason
ii would seem, To feel very mnch ashamed
of herself.

 On Saturday evening the great Pat Rooney combination will appear at Goes Opera House. The company has large number of artists and give a fine entertainment.
 THE PROFESSOR.
 This evening the eccentric comedian Mr. Will Gillette will appear at the. Grand Opera House in his most comical character creation ''The Professor" /" supported by Miss Georgia Cayvan. MT. Gillette is unequalled in this character, and rich treat Is in store for all who attend the performance this evening. The same company will appear again on Sat urdsy evening. Reserved seats should be se- cured at Loomis' this morning.
 GEORGE EDGAR.
 On Tuesday night next George Edgar and Joseph Wheelock will come forward at Coe's Opera House in Shakespeare's tragedy of ''Othello." MT. Edgar will enact the part of "Othello," in which character he made a de- cided sensation last year at the Broadway Theater, New York, and Mr. Wheelock will play 'Iago." Of Mr. Wheelocks quail ties as an actor it is unnecessary for us, at this moment, to speak. Suffice it to say he has often been seen in New Haven, and has just as often met with the commendation of both pubIlc and press. Miss Louise Muldener will be seen on this occasion as Desdemona This lady made quite brilliant reputation while supporting Edwin Booth in his recent suc- cessful engagement at the Grand Opera House. This performance of "Othello" promises to be as fine presentation of the tragedy as New Haven as ever seen.

Thursday evening Lecocq's military comic opera ..The Little Duke will be presented, and Friday evening it is ssGirofe- -Giroha, both great attrac. tions. The Harrisburg Patriot, among the many other exchanges speaking highly of the pays fine tribute to the sprirhtly acting and charming ways of Alice Oates. and adds that aside from this star the company was a most excellent one-much ahead of inc average travelling opera troupe ssThe Little Duke is very light opera-lght in music and are apt to be caught and whistIed by the peo- pie. It would seem at first thought that the of light opera does not require much of a company, but it must be remena- bered that one of the severest tests to which talent can be put is that of making some thlng out of almost nothinR-of making an opera amusing which comes very near being It was this task which Ailee Oates and her company performed last
