THE INAUGURATION.

The inaugural procession will be compos-
ed of four divisions. The first division,
made up of the regular troops and District
militia, will escort the President elect from
bis hotel TO the capitol, where he will take
the oath Of Office and deliver his inaugural
address. The remaining three divisions
will not take part in escorting the president
to the Capitol. Upon the termination of the
ceremonies the line will be formed and the
procession will move via the north side of
the capitol to Pennsylvania avenue, to
Washington circle, to X street, to Connccti
cut avenue, TO Rhode Island avenue to
Massachusetts avenue, to Fourteenth street
where the parade will be dismissed. Before
the head of the line will have reached the
executive mansion the president will pro-
ceed to the stand in front Of the White
House, where he will review the parade.
There will be about q, 900 men in line, and
at the lowest calculation the parade will be
over four miles long. marching eight
abreast. 1t is expected that the leading Or
CARNATIONS will have reached Thomas Cir
Gle, and heen dismissed, before those bring
ing up the rear have rounded the Capitol.
The floral decorations of the ball room
will be something truly magnificent. Some
idea of the elaborate preparation of the
designs may be gathered from the fact that
the contract includes 10000 choice roses,
5000 lilies of the valley 5000 tulips
and miscellaneous assortment of TO-
900 other varieties. For the decora-
tions 10000 yards Of garlands have al
ready been made and 5000 strings Of
smiay ordered. 1t will take 5000 yards of mus
lin to form the background of the decorations.
The entrance to the ante-rooms will be hung
with fine silk dalnask curtains twelve feet long
made of material worth Sl3 yard
When darkness sets in the illumination of
Pennsylvania avenue will begin. At the White
Lot and the grounds at the base of the monument,
at 7:3O, the display of fireworks will commence.
This is intended to be the grandest and most
magnificent display ever witnessed in this
country.

Northcote's motion oil censure against the
government for its Egyptian policy, was
disposed Of Mr.. Redmond, home ruler,
opposed the motion, and was seconded in
his opposition by several Parnellites The
opposition became so noisy that the Speaker
| intcricrcd, and when silence had been re-
stored d. announced that ne Thought it
was his duty to inform the House that he
| thought the subject had been adequately
discussed AT this the Parne!lites nearly
all Joined in prolonged howl and in de-
the United Ireland, and home rule member
for Mallow, shouted out: "We will remem-
Der this in Ireland" This remark was
greeted with cries of "Oh ~ "Ohw Name
him! Name him y The Speaker there
upon named Mr.. OBrien. Mr. Gladstone
at once moved that the named member be
suspended Mr.. OBrien jumped up and
shouted "That is the honor Of my ambi-
ton" After the upToar which attended

when shen called upon Mr.. Gladstoue's
motion to suspend Mr.. O'Brien. II re.
suited in a vote Of 244 for The motion and
but 20 against it, The Speaker, when the
vote had been recorded, ordered Mr..
O'Brien to Withdraw from the House. Mr..
OBrien arose, Strengthened himself up to
his full height, and, exclaiminG with great
precision and sarcasm: "CerIalnly, sir, |
will withdraw from the House with more
pleasure than entered it, strobe out.
Mr. O'Brien was suspended for !. week.
On the cloture division many conservatives
left the House and others voted with the
Parneliites. Had the motion been lost, the
Speaker would have resigned as Il protest
against the action of the conservatives
The Parnallites objected TO the resump
ton of ne debate on the motion 0! censure,
because it would prevent discussion on n
motion made by Mr.. Redmond relating to
the conduct OF al Irish constable named
Murphy. The Gladstone. O'Brien episode
was quite sensational while it lasted, and
Mr.. Gladstone's conduct was firm and de-
termiued When the House had again set
tied down to business, cloture was proposed
and voted for by 207 yeas to as nays. Mr..
Parnell expressed dissatisfaction with the
tally, and, as IL protest, insisted upon di-
vision. This resulted in the adoption OF

THE Foreign Affairs Committee OF lhe =.
g. House of Representatives yesterday APP
pointed subcommittee to report upon the
question of adopting retaliatory measures
toward Germany for prohibiting the impor.
talion of American products. why conhne
the report to Germany? France and Aus
tria have done the same, and yesterday s
DISPATCHES state that Sweden will adopt 4
similar policy. And wins should not all the
other foreign countries do so too? Chick
ems will come home to roost. The United
States have established ii tariff SO high that
it practically prohibits the Importation OF
the products Of all other con;,tieS. 1t Is ny
no means strange therefore that all other
countries should adopt retaliatory measures.
1t is peculiarly unfortunate, however, ihat
the chief resulting suffering falls upon the
great mass ofthe people Of this country, The
farmers, who are only Indirectly response
BILE for The existence Of the tariff BY reason
OF electing members of Congress- who will
not vote for its repeal.

Mr.. WINTHROP, in his late Grafton on the
occasion of the dedication of tho Washing
ton monument, revived the idea OF chang
ing the time for the Presidential Inaugural
ton, and recommended its adoption. 1t is
an eminently wise recommendation, for OF
all the year there is hardly u more disagree
able day for open air ceremonies than
the fourth of March usually is. The
idea is that tho time for the Inaugural
ton be changed to the Both of April,
the day on which General Washing
ton was first inaugurated. The weather
then is usually pleasant, and besides, such a
change would give Congress more time, and
avoid the necessity for the now crude and
hurried legislation of the short session, in
order that au adjournment may take place
on the 4th Of March.

ALEXANDRIA, Y
EVENING, FEBRUARY %.

THE RICHMOND Whig being the indl'ia-
nal and personal organ of Senator Manohe'
not professionally supposes that every
other newspaper must be the mouthpiecs OF
some body else than its editor. 1t therefore
attributes to Mr.. Barbour, and valnly At
tempts to hold him responsible for, the ut
terances of the GAZETTE But the Wh'g,
even with all its present ignorance OF VIZ
pinia affairs, must have had som ebouy 10
tell il that while the GAZETTE. from It's ORR
gin, before the commencement OF the cur
rent century, to the present, has been 'he
organ of some one man, that man has been
its editor, and that in its editorial columns
only the opinions of its editor appear.
Those opinions may be correct or the re-
verse. but, right or wrong, they are the con-
eeption of its editors own mind, are sincere,
and are printed, as it believes, for the real
and best moral and material interests OF lis
readers. All Virginians, well informed
about the men and things OF their own
State. know that Mr. Barbour has no more
the utterances of the GAZETTE than the
man in the moon. Indeed, Oh many sub
iects Mr. Barbour and the GAZETTE dlffer
widely, as on the State debt, the Blair
bill, the tariff, and some provisions OF the
postoffice appropriation BILL On these, and
possibly some other questions of public In
terest, the GAZETTE thinks the country as
we'll as the State would be benefited if Mr..
Barbour were more in accord With it. That
he is not, however, is no more reason why
it should abuse him than that it should be
his organ because he agrees with it on other
questions equally as important. But it was
hardly worth while TO soy this, for it was
all known before to every intelligent and
we'll informed man in the State, and all the
readers of the GAZETTE belong to that class;
: and those who don't knew it are either so
stupid or so densely ignorant that they are
incapable OF learning any thing.
