FROM WASHINGTON.
T5psoial Correspondence Of the Alexa. GAZETTE
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. s, 1889.


WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 8, 1889.
l. has often been said that Washington is
a town and not city, and nothing ever
made the truth of that remark more appar-
ept than what has taken place here to-day.
On both sides of Pennsylvania avenue, from
one end of 1t to the other, strong cables were
stretched, and guarded, not only by the
hacked throng, from six to ten deep, that
pressed against them, but also by Gordon
of policemen, 30 that nobody could cross
that thoroughfare. Consequently, for hours,
people. many of them with important busi-
meas to transact out OF the place, were cut
off from both railroads and steamboats,. and
mt to great trouble and Inconvenience, and
MANY of them 10 no little expense. The
rule observed was that nobody had any
rights that the procession OF the knights
Tsmplar was bound to respect. But the
Knights were not to blame for ibis, and
doubtless did not desire 1t to be 30; put the
commissioners of the District OF COLUMBIA,
with the arbitrary authority OF village
mso s.rate. ordered 1t, and their orders we're
as inviolate ss the laws of the Medes ana
Persians.
There was nothing talked of here to day,
comparatively, but the procession OF the
KNIGHTS Templar ALI the federal and city
depsrtmepts were closed, and most of the
business houses were also. The sidewalks
of PENNSYLVANIA avenue, on both sides, were
SO packed as to be almost impossible. The
widows and balconies of the buildings on
both sides of that street, and several stands
that had been erected thereon, were also
crowded with spectators. Nearly all the
houses on the avenue were decorated
with q. 8. flags and Masonic oolors. The
nrocsssion was composed of knights In car.
rIspes. on horseback and on foot, and OF
many bands of music, and in 1t were COM
msnderies from almost every part OF the
country. 1t was an immense one aud some
parts of 1t we're really attractive BY reason
of the bearing of the knights thereof and OF
their magnificent and even gorgeous uni
forms, but it would have been decidedly
more imposing if it had not been 90 long
drawn out. If the procession had marched
in solid and compact mass, instead OF as IL
did, it would have been shorter, but It's I'M
pressiveness would have been greatly increas.
ed. Statutes were fred by a q. s. battery
from the hill over the B. & o. r. r. depot
while the procession was moving, but they
were not heard except by the people In
that Immediate vicinity. Some of the
Communicates had more splendid uniforms
than those from Virginia, but none march,
ed better nor looked more like
knights of old and warriors bold. and Old
Dominion Commaudery Of Alexandria, was
behind none of them in either respect re

AIEX ANDRIA.
TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER s.

a HOTEL keeper in Augusta, Co., last
Sunday, refused to accommodate the negro
member of Jury that had been sent to his
house to be kept together during the courts
recess. The hotel keeper is northern
man, republican and member OF the IT,
A. R., and he probably would have done
the same thing If his hotel had been In Au'
gusta, Maine. Reputable white people do
not like to eat at the same table 81
which negroes eat, and use the same
plates and napkins that negroes have
used, nor to sleep on the same beds
that negroes have occupied and this
is az true Of the southern people of Georgia
ss of northern naval officers. To have &C.
comodated the negro referred to would
have injured the hotel keepers business
and no man should be forced to do that.
