MILITARY DAY.

The second day of the celebration was ush-
cred in by the firing of a National salute by
the Richmond Howitzers, the deep tones OF
whose guns reverberated over the hills and
through the valleys for miles around.
At an early hour people commenced pouring
in from every direction, and this augmentation
to the large number who remained on the
grounds during the night, swelled the crowd
to not less than twelve thousand.
The first in the order Of business was a meet
ing of the Executive Committee, to take into
consideration the advisability OF changing the
programme for the day, the principal feature
of which contemplated an illustration Of the
battle.
Col. Thomas, chairman Of the committee
on troops, reported the different commands
and the number that had arrived, and also
owing to the insufficiency of blank cartridges,
he expressed the opinion that it would be in
expedient to attempt an Illustration OF the
plan of the battle.
Gen. Hunt, of the U. S. Army, who had
been selected to conduct the mimic battle, and
who was present in the meeting by invitation,
conceded in opinion with Col. Thomas. He
said he thought the number Of troops present
was entirely inadequate to carry out that fea-
ture Of the programme with any degree OF
satisfaction. After full discussion, it was
decided to substitute for that feature, gener.
al parade and review under command Of Gen.
Hunt, the reviev to begin on the plateau
south of the monument at II O'Clock M.
Notice of this change OF programme was an
nounced to the crowd assembled outside the
pavilion in which the committee met, and it
was plainly observable that disappointment
was felt by many; but it is due to the commit
tee to say that they are not responsible for
this failure. They announced on the pro-
gramme the sham battle in good faith, at a
time, when they were fully under the expec-
tation, from promises made, that there would
be large attendance Of troops from this and
adjoining States. Various causes prevented
this attendance, and the programme was re-

the curtain drops upon last scene to
stay the hand of justice upon pretexts
TOO flimsy to submit to the iudg-
ment of the Supreme Court. If jus
