The inaugural Procession

To the Editor OF The Eepubttcdp:
Bv starting the inaugural procession qcea
from the White House, through Connecticut avenue,
Vermont avenue, X street TO Thirteenth, thence to
New York avenue, and west 10 Sixteenth again.
three important results viii be attained, viz:
First-The visiting military and civic organize
tons will be paraded through the best and hand
soonest portions of the city, passing en- route the
Corcoran Art Building, the statues of Mcpherson,
Scott, and Thomas, Lafayette and Franklin
Squares the Franklin School building and the
finest residences and smoothest streets
Second-It will give the procession space and
length to uncoil itself into straight and har-
monious length by the time its head strikes the
inevitable Pennsylvania avenue which thor
oughfare can and should be kept absolutely clear
of cars vehicles, and horses and Will thus family
remind some Of us of the famous two days review,
when the Avenue was uninterrupted by anything
tending to incommOde spectators and troops.
Third-It will prevent the packing of $1,000
people into dozen blocks, as will inevitably be
the case if the parade be confined between the
White House and the Capitol. This is to my mind
the route of procession. 1t will absorb thousands
who prefer comfort to consolidation. 1t will per-
hapS shock the delicate sensibilities of the room
renters. and the window renters, and the scat
renters on the Avenue: but it will give ease and
comfort to thousands, and chance to properly
view the pageant. We all know the capacity of
the Avenue but, big as ii is it has its limits and
the 4th of March viii certainly overflow its largest
bound.

actual benefits which will result from change of

The Steamboat Compromise.

In response to an inquiry regarding the
reported consolidation of the rival steamer lines
on the Potomac, President Thompson, of the In
land and SeaDoard Coasting Company, said last
night that the arrangement reached between the
companies was not consolidation, but simply
such combination in regard to days of sailing and
rates for freight and passengers as would enable
the boats to fair profit instead of running at
dead loss, as had been the case for the past two
seasons, The sailing days have been arranged so
that the Jane Moseley will leave Washington for
Norfolk on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
and the George Leary on Tuesdays Thursdays, and
Saturdays, thus giving regular and daily COM
munication between Washington, Norfolk, Fortress
Monroe, and points on the lower Potomac. The
new programme will be inaugurated on Saturday
evening, when the Leary will make her initial trip

the murder of James E. Johnson, in the month of
