Ford's Opera House was again crowded last
night to oyerfowng TO listen to the lecture on
Paris in the Reign of1error" which was a
continuation Of tho previous lecture on "Tho
Reign Of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette,"
followed by the incidents of their tragic exc.
cuuon. The wild, mad scenes Of the French
revolution were graphically described, pictur-
ing the great fact that the worst form OF
tyranny aud oppression Is that which In the
name Of liberty becomes frunIiod lanaticism
worse than the reign oftyrants. Tho royal
tyranny of France fell only to DO succeeded by
u reign of terror and anarchy under Canton,
Marat, and Robcsplerre who, In their turn,
met the doom of royal tyrAnts rs well as OF the
Girondists. The stereoptioon views were
very fine, and that of the assassination of
Nlarat by Charlotte Corday was greeted with
applause; Tonight Mr.. stoddard gives

test Over Certain Appointments.
The nomination of Henry G. Pearson
to be postmaster Of New York city was
iavorably reported from the Senate COM
mitteo ON postoifices and postroads yes
Senate. The Senate committee on finance
has reported favorably upon all the nomi-
nations referred to 1t, tho most important
being that of John r. McGraw. to be in
ternal revenue collector for the district of
West Virginia, vice Samuel p. McCor-
mack, to be removed. There is q posi-
bility Of n contest in the Senate over this
nomination, rs Mccormack has been in
office but short time. The Office has no
fixed term. The nomination of Gen.
Joseph l.. Johnston to be commissioner
Of railroads was favorably aud unani-
mously reported from the committee on
railroads.
The nomination of Lewis McMullen to
be appraiser of New York has not been
reported from the Senate committee on
commerce, there being no quorum at the
meeting. There is an inclination among
Republicans to make contest over this
nomination. The office has no fixed ten-
urc, and the present incumbent has filed
it many years His friends in the Senate
say he has been an excellent officer, and
that his removal without cause merely to
give place to Democratic subordinate is
inconsistent with the spirit Of civil service
reform.
Tho Republicans are however, not
unanimous in this regard, many deeming
it best to make no contest except in case
of removals without cause from offices to
which there is term fixed by law. In
formation comes through private channels
to Senators that the President does not
intend to make removals from offices
which have fixed terms.

letter reads as follows:
"Lieut. Greedy is a man with very
good salary, which the government is
seeking to increase before anything is
done for the helpless WIDOWS. In my
case, cannot even yet receive the salary
Of my husband due Wu and half years

honor the men before doing justice to the
widows left dependent because of the
neglect Of this government. My sorrow
is greatly due to Greely, for whom have
contempt. He pretended to wish to
hasten to Washington to see the accounts
OF his comrades, while it is proved he
hastened for his own honor. He has pre-
tended to facilitate my matters, and has,
on the sly, put a claim of nearly $500
against my pitCance of back salary for
Overdrawn Tarons. Even the Auditor
told our Congressman that such a shame
tul claim must not appear before the
world; that they hoped to credit il to
Greedy. The 5000 will be taken from me.

look better for GreelV'

INAUGURATION NOTES.
The Line of March-The Ball Room.

The Line of March-The Ball Room.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The premoni-
tory hum of Inauguration day increases
in volume. A subject of considerable dis
cussion and difference of opinion between
Gen. SlOcum, the Grand Marshal, and the
Inaugural Committee has been whether
the line of march should be kept clear of
spectators from curb to curb. Gen. Slo-
cum, as well as the Chief of Police, rep
resented that the military could not form
such long lines as to reach across the
wide avenue and would prefer not to
march along the car tracks in the centre
of the street, so that one-halt of the street
may be surrendered to the public. The
committee, however, maintained their pO-
sitiOn that the parade would be more i'm
posing If the military marched in the cen
tire of the avenue and the public were
Kept on the sidewalks. Gen. SlOcum has
acquiesced IN this view. 1t is estimated
that 10000 people can be packed on the
sidewalks of Pennsylvania avenue, from
First to Seventeenth streets.
In order that the avenue may not get
blOckaded by the whole body of soldiers
marching to the capitol as escort to Mr..
Cleveland, it has been decided that only
the first division, composed of regulars
and District militia, will escort him from
the Arlington Hotel to the capitOI. the
other three divisions forming in Mary
land, New Jersey and Delaware avenues
east OF the capitol, and falling into line
after the inaugural ceremonies. The
route Will be by the north side of the capi-
tol to Pennsylvania avenue, to Washing
ton circle, to X street, to Connecticut
avenue, to Rhode Island avenue, to Mas
sachusetts avenue, to Fourteenth street
where the parade will be dismissed. The
committee asserts that %, 900 men will be
in line.
The inside of the pension building.
where the ballroom is, presents an ami
mated appearance. WOrkmen are busy
in every direction. While the small pil-
lars around the room lend themselves
easily to decoration, the eight mammoth
brick columns in the centre defy all at
tempts to make them things of beauty.
They have been draped with white muslin
and wound in diamond design with ever
greens. A mass of bunting has been used,
but the plant decoration is as vet sparse
owing to delays. The trial of the acOus-
tics OF the building by the Marine Band
was pronounced satisfactory. There will
be twenty-three selections on the order of
dancing, the opening march being at II
p. m. From to II a promenade concert
of six selections Will be given by the Ma
rine Band OF fifty pieces. The Germania
Orchestra, of Philadelphia, of 100 pieces.
will supply the dance music. Gen. NJ. c.
Meigs, architect of the building, has tested
the ventilation, and found it such as to
change the entire volume of air every five
minutes. The heating apparatus was
also tried, and produced a temperature OF
10 degrees. 1t is thought that a warmth
of about 60 degrees will be sufficient and
can be maintained. There will be forty
six of the Siemens burners to illuminate
the interior.
