From the ayenne Grover’s Theatre made a mo endid appearance. The Manager had taken considerable pains to secure ornamental tags suitable to the occasion, which were dis- played with transparencies bearing the appr: pris‘ive inecription «Victory!

The restaurants east of the Theatre were brilliantly illuminated, and al office of the Constitutional Union, where ight we Saw an arrangementof candles The clothing store of E. L. Seldner, corner of Pe.oeylyania avenue and 7th street, was very brilliant, and attracted great atiention by its query in gas jets, “iiow are you, Lee.” The magnificent Jewelry establishment of Galt & iro, was grandly iliuminaied, as were also be stores of Noah Walker, Wm. Crosse, Mor- nm, H. Buros, Wiesenfield & Uo Ze ever, the Congressional Globe office, Bell’s otograph gallery, Mrs. Hough’s and Mrs, itygerald’s houses, and other places.

The interior was arched over with flags, surmounted by a large eagle, and the whole front of the building was decorated with lanterns, flags and brilliant lights. Bell’s photograph establishment displayed the transparency, “Glory to the Union and her brave defenders,” and the establishment of E Z. Steever was crnamented by a design in gas jets, brilliantly exhibiting the letters U.S. above a globe, bearing the word Grant. Be- neath the whole was the motto, “The Union forever” Mayor Wallach’s residence was very hand- somely illuminated, as were also the various offices and private houses in the vicinity, that section of the city presenting an appearance not surpassed by any portion of the illumina- tion. The Bank of Washington was well lighted up, and displayed a transparency bearing a likeness of Washingtor , and the follqying sen- tence from his farewell address: -IFis of infi- nite moment that you should properly estimate the immense yalue of your national Union to your collective and individual happiness: and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate @uy portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred tes which now link together the various parts.” NORTH OF THE AVENUE. Pas;ing from the avenue north the scene in some of the streets as far as the city is built was truly grand. The displays were not ex- clusively made by the weelthy residents of Magnificent dwellings, butin many instances the ingenuity of the humbler citizens added “greatly to the magnificence of the blocks in which they were located. On {ih street we noticed especially the stores under Seaton Hall. The National Union Headquarters. The building formerly Dr. Garnett’s, now occupied by Mr. Brown, Navy Agent. The fine double building occupied by S. Masi, in the 2d and 3a stories of which are five windows, and In each ‘Was wrought a letter forming in the 3d story across the entire tront the word “Union,” and in the 2d “peace,” and over the main entrance the names ‘-Grant,” “Meade.” On the oppo- sive eide of the street the houses were mostly illuminated. The dwelling of C. F. Wood, Esq , wae very brilliantly displayed. Thedis- play above F street was not so connected, but some of the dwellings were very brilliant. The dwelling of Dr. Munson, 9th, near G street, Was very tastefully illuminated, exhibiting the red, white and blue, witha very neat ar- rangement of various colored lights. Theresi- dence of Mr. W. Hill near L street, and that of Admiral Joseph Smith, were brilliantly il- luminated, displaying a very tastefal arrange- ment of flags and banners in each. In this vicinity the blocks of fine dwellings on K street, from 7th to 9th, attracted par- ticular attention. These included the dwell- ings of G. S. Gideon, W. G. Moore, A. C. Richards, Superintendent of Police; A. H. Young, W. Towers, Lucius Peyton and Col, Lem. Towers. At @ little distance there was the appearance of a thousand tapers barning, bat drawing closer the observer could perceive that the windows were tastefully decked with @ multitude of miniature flags. On 9th, near M street, is the dwelling of G. W. Larner and J.P. McKean, Eeqs. The house was beauti- fully illuminated, displaying on the front 4 very handsome arrangement of fiags hung in festoons and fully inclosing the eniry, over which was a very attractive transparency de- sign—figures representing war and peace. stands with her foot upon the rebel flag, un- lifting a sword with her right hand, while with her left she clasps the right hand of peace, who appears to follow, offering with her le: the olive branch. Inscription, “Victory bring: peace.” In the front windows of the house were the portraits of Lincoln and Grant. Upon 9th street, the beautifully illuminated dwellings of Hudson Tayler, corner of D, and Lambert Tree, west side, north of D, were much admired. On 10th street, beginning with the commis- sion house of McGuire & Co, corner of D sireet, which was brilliantly illuminated, we noticed especially the Metropolitan Police Headquarters and the office of the Gas Light Co., the Public School, corner of D and 10th, and with one or two exceptions, excusable by reasons of recent afflictions, the entire row on the south side of D, between 9th and 1(tk, in- cluding Temperance Hall and the fine dwel- lings immediately west of it, and Ford’s Thea- ter attracted much attention. On H street, between 9th and 10th, there was &@ yery generaldisplay. Among the fine dwel- lings in_this neighborhood is that of J. F. Brown, President Board of Aldermen, which was illuminated beautifully, and decorated with flags tastefully arranged from basement te the roof, and a number of which were brought from Alexandria, the supply in the city haying run owt before he obtained what he wanted. On the opposite side the Protestant Orphan Asylum was opened and the lights throughout burning, displaying to advantage the flags and evergreens with which the front and windows were tastefully decorated. On New York avenue. west of 1th street, the splendid residences of Messrs. Hood, Bas- sett, Bryant, Fahnestock, and Professor Baird, of the Smithsonian Institution, were promi- nent amid the blaze of light and beauty. On Massachusetts avenue, between 10th and Lith, the glare was continued, and especial .ttention was called to the dwellings of Messrs. Fuller and Cunningham. On 11th street the display extended with few intervals as far as the buildings extended, and noticeable among the display were the residences of A. Noerr, cor- nerof ilth and E. Smith’s Row, between E and F, N. , and S81 Lith street, occa. pied by R, J. Atkinson, Auditor of the Treasu- ry, Captain Tempkins, of Quartermaster’s De- prrtment, and Mr. Bartlett, were brilliantly illuminated and decked within and without with national fiags, State colors, corps em- blems, &c.; Mr. Thomas, corner of 11th street nd Massachusetts ayenue; the dwelling of W. W. Danenhower, corner of 12th and G streets, was remarkable among the dwellings on 12th street, which were generally illumina- ted. The house was thrown open, the gas lighted throughout. and tapers burning In the windows and lanterns suspended from availa- ble point. The transparencies were numerous with the following inscriptions:—South front, upper story. large star, «God wills that we remain united,” on the right and left of which stars inscribed “Victory, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan;” square transparency ‘Glory to God on high, on earth peace, good will toward men,” shield, «‘Lincoln;” west side circles in- scribed “Victory, Union:” square, ‘One Coun- try, one Constitution, one Destiny;” circles, “All honor to our brave Army,” “All honor to our gallant Navy.” The house of Mr. Lewis Clephane, on G street, had a fine display in- deed. On Massachusetts avenue, corner 11th street, and in that yicinity, the display was ver; beautiful, ‘and the dwellings of Geo. R. Hall, Mrs. Williams, Charles Richardson, Messrs. Spalding and Vondilear, attracted much at- tention. On New York avenue, near 1ith street, the dwelling of Col. Hayes was beauti- fully decorated and was generally admired. Brig. Gen. Ekin, chief of the cavalry bureau, occupying the “Chain building” on H, near 14th street, decorated and illuminated the building so tastefully that it was attractive from distant points, and was highly Sppiata: ed by the multitude of observers who ingered around. The Musica] Mugeum on H, between 13th and 14th streets, was magnificently deco- rated with flags, and was greatly for the tasteful disp) The offices of Gen. Au- ur’s headquarters on 14th street, near New Gore avenue, was Ated, Seal tly illuminated; the front was embellished with large flags tastefully festooned along the entire front; whils the windows exhibited before the lights a display of smaller flags very neatly arranged. Upon the cornice extending the entire front was placed a transparency with the inscrip- tion Sherman, Thomas, Grant, Farragut, Sheridan.” The crowd in the street was very great until a late hour. The vicinity of Franklin Square was mag- Rificently displayed. The dwellings south of the square were generally iUuminated, the lights being continuous and regular, while the Tronts were very neatly adorned with flags, evergreens, lanterns, &c. The splendid man- sions upor the elevation north were magnifi- cent, and the display of fireworks added to the attraction which detained a multitude of ladies and gentlemen admirers of the magnificent display. The beautiful residences of Admiral Goldsvorough and Colonel Kent were splen- didly ornamented with flags over the beautifal fronts, and the gaslights and tapers burning exhibited the interior to the admiring ’multi- tude. The mansion of Secretary Stanton ex- hibited a display of fiags of every description in the army beaatifully arranged over the ex- tensive front. The national flag was first in the display, and around were the fisgs and colors of the corps and States who have so no- bly sustained it. The mansion illuminated throughout, and the magnificent display of fireworks in front, rendered every flag and color plainly visible from the remotest limit of Frentlin Piace, where hundreds assembled to honor our brave soldiers and those who, like Secretary Stanton, contributed to their suc- cess. ‘The residence of Col. Wilson, immediately adjcining thatof Secretary Stanton, was mag- nificently illuminated. The splendid project- ing windows were colored with red, white and blue, and upon the panels were inscribed the honored names of victors and their victories, “Richmond, Petersburg, Charleston, Vicks- burg, Grant, Sherman, Farragut, Porter, Meade, Sheridan, Fort Mergan, Gettysburg, Savannah, Wilmington,” and over all the in- scription, “Honor to the brave.” The Rugby House, corner of K and Lith steeets, was beautifully illuminated, and a transparency upon the front attracted much attention and was greatly admired. In the day time it lcoked like a large box covered witha black cloth, upon which was drawn a large star’ & circle within the points surround a@ shield, upon which were clasped hands. When illuminated the design was beautiful. The star appeared In jets of light, the circle, before apparently plain, was a circle of small stars surrounding the shield and hands, all of light, and over all the inscription, ‘‘Welcome home discarded faith.” The design was very inge- niously executed. The bookstore of Hudson Taylor, 531 Penn- sylvania avenue, bad a beautiful display ef gas jets lighting up the national flag and fine por- traits of Lincoln, Grantand Secretary Stanton. The colored population, numerous in the northern pert of the Second and Third wards, ‘Were not behind in the general demonstration. (.uite a number of the dweliings iluminated were occupied by colored citizens, and away up inthe suberbs where the small wooden tenements are occupied by the laboring men, dows could be discerned filled with can- es. _The establishments of W.R. Sturgis, J. W. Van Hook, G. M. Wight, M. T. Parker, E. Wheeler & Son, E. E. White, Barbour & Semmes and Smith & Morrell, on Louisiana avenue were handsomely illuminated, all of the windows being filied with tissue paper of red, white and bine. The Weodbine Restau- rant, corner of 43 and C streets, presented a fine appearance. The residence of Mr. Todd, corner of 3d and C streets, was most brilliant- ly illuminated, the gottic windows filled with candles suspended by means of wires, seeming ata distance like a blaze ot fire. Mr. Hall’s residence, On the opposite corner, displayed a large flag, and was brilliantly lighted up from basement to roof. Messrs. Blakslee and Van- Anden, corner Sth and H streets, illuminated finely and displayed the transparencies “Just laws promptly executed givestability, security and peace, ’and «How are you Confederacy.” The establishment of J M. Moore, on the opposite corner, was lighted up with a great number of lanterns, and had out the transpa- rency, **Stand by the flag,” ‘Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and insepa- rable.” Mr. A. R. Skepherd, on 10th street, near L, nfode a fine dispiay, every part of his resi- dence showing 4 brilliant light, and three or four transparencies bearing the names of Grant, Sherman and others appearing. The book bindery of Captain W. H. Nally, occupying two stories of the biildiag corner of 9th and E streetg, was brilliantly lighted up, and from one of the windows was flunga fine flag, which wae purchased on the 2Uth of April, 1561, (the day following that on which the Me- tropolitan Rifles, commanded by Capt. Nally im the three monthsservice, were mustered in,) from aman who was about leaving for Dixie but who could not get away. This flag was horne by the rifles in that campaign and was hoisted on Seneca Bridge on the ‘ithof June when they were picketing the Potomxc. Hock and Ladder Company, No. 1, {Metro- politan,) had their fine house on Massachusetts avenue brilliantly illuminated, making a hand- some appearance. The front was decorated with festoons of evergreen and the portraits et Grant, Sherman and others. This company was not behind any other, and the fine appear- ance of the houte was remarked by all. Postmaster Bowen finely illuminated his residence, as was also that of Mr. J. Little, the Second District school-house, and many other buildings in that locality. The displays upon the principal streets were sO humerous that we capnot do more than make a bare mention of those which we hastily noted. Among them were the following: ON SEVENTH STREET. The rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association were brilliantly illuminated and displayed @ transparency with the words “God, Grant, our Country, Peace,” Master Otto Wolfstiner, a lad of 10 or 12 years, had in his window a beautiful little transparency, that would have done credit to an experienced artist. Ona field of black,Grant” appeared in brilliant many colored letters, surrounded by a halo ot stars, above which was the word “Victory” flanked by ‘‘Sherman” and “Sheri- dan.” Under the whole was the motto':Union Forever.” C. H. Anderson’s book store, oppo- site the Post office, was very fine, displaying in addition to the elegant decorations of the windows, representauons of the Goddess of Liberty, Washington, and the Union army en- tering Richmond. Wolfsheimer & Bro, bril- liantly lighted their establishment, and dis- played in the window the following: « Long live our chief, the President, In glory, peace and health; Nobly he brought the war to end, Crushed treason in its wealth. (© God! preserve his worthy life, Let never war or civil strife Again disturb our land.” —Heller & Co. ornamented thelr windows with «Grant, Sherman, Farragut” and «Our Army and Navy.’ The trunk and harness store of James S. Topham made a fine appearance with the national flag and coatof arms in the win- dows, as did also the similar establishment of H Beale. .Among other displays which at- tracted much attention were those of J. E. Kennedy, S. Hielbrun & Co., J. D. Edmond, Whittlessey’s lamp store, Shepherd’s book- store, S.

The display in this ward was exceedingly brilliant, being in @ perfect blaze of light from 15th street to the Georgetown bridge. Nearly all of the Departsments and public buildings are situated in this ward, but independent of these the houses of the citizens generally were illuminated. The War Department, as upon former occa- sions, presented & magnificent appearance, the Star Spangled banner being entwined around the columns of the portico on the porthern front, while the various corps flags ‘were profusely displayed from different parts of the building. On the top of the north por- tico was & tWansparency with the word “Grant,” surmounted with an arch of ever- greens, from which was suspended a number of ship lanterns with red, white and blue lights. Drummond lights were stationed on the west and east ends of the building, which radiated for squares around. In the yard, red, white and blue lights were constant! burning, while the bands of the 9th and 2% . R. regiments discoursed excellent music, attracting an immense crowd of persons to the spot. ‘The Navy Bepariment was gorgeously illu- minated, and draped with flags on either side, while & number of colored lanterns and gui- dons were also displayed. A transparency on the 17th street front bore the inscription of “Our Binnacle Lights Irradiate Glory.” An- other transparency contained a representation of an eagle, and from its talons was a scroll with the word “Victory.” «Uur iron-clads, & terror to the nations.” A third transparency represented an iron-clad, while a full-rigged man-of-war stationed ir one of the windows attracted general attention. The Treasury Department building was thoroughly illuminated and tastetully draped with flags. Just above the entrance of the south-eastern portico was & transparency rep- resenting @ fifty dollar seven-thirty bond, handsomely executed, and presenting a bril- lant fac-simile of that popular issue. Be- neath this was the following inscription: «The note of a free Government, endorsed by a free people, and guaranteed by the power and wealth of the United States.” The Department of State presented a deci- dedly brilliant appearance, every window in the building being fully lighted up. The en- trances and porticoes of the building were beautifully festooned with American flags. The Executive Mansion attracted general attention by its magnificent appearance, being radiant with lights, and handsomely decorated with guidons, cavalry standards, national and camp colors, garrison, storm and corps flags, and evergreens. Doring the evening a large crowd gathered here, in expectation of hearing the President make a speech, but he did not make his appearance. Seventeenth street, from F to @ streets, (which takes in Winder’s Building and a large number of branch offices ot the War Depart- ment,) was resplendent with light. Gen Halleck’s headquarters was brilliantly illnminated, as were also the Surgeon General's office, Gen. Rucker’s office, Col. Bell’s office, Capt. Moore's office, and Corcoran’s Art Build- ing, which is occupied by (Juartermas‘er Gen- eral Meigs. The office of Co}. B. F. Fisher, chief signal officer, on F street, above Ith street, was beautifully decorated with flags, and the fol- lowing mottoes were displayed: “God’s Providence Visible.” “The nation, in its constitutional right, dooms slavery and victory follows;” and «Victory brings peice, and peace the good old times.” Capt. Brinkerhoff, Post (Quartermaster mace a fine display at his office, 232 G street. The windows ofthe secord and third storics were shaped with red, white and blue, and in each acorps badge was displayed. Over the entrance was & fine portrait of the President, with the following quotation: And Abraham drew nearand said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked! And the Lord said, If I findin Sodom fitty righteous within the city, then wiil I spare all the place for their sakes.—Gen. xviil: 23, 26. Portraits of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan inscribed “Obio's quota.” In one of the lower windows @ photograph of Secretary Stanton was displayed, under which was the following: “Not content with dispersing one traitor cabinet in Washington, heeyoked and or- ganized the powers of war and dispersed another at Richmond.” In the other was 2 photograph of General Meigs. with the letters ‘«Q). M.D,” and “Our Chief,” and the following from the report of the Secretary of War, March Ist, 1805: “The army bas been well supplied with all the essentials of military equipments, and with fuel, forage, and all necessaries.” Gen. Harding’s headquarters, corner 19th Street and Pennsylvania avenue; the head- quarters of the ist Brigade Veteran Reserve Corps, adjoining, and Major O’Beirne's office, cerner of /§th and I streets, were also brilli- antly illuminated. The Clothing Depot, Capt. D.G. Thomas, was gorgeously decorated, a large number of transparencies being hung out, while numberless flags were tastefully hung in front of the building. Evergreens were hung from each window in beautiful wreaths, while transparencies bearing the words, “Richmond,” “Petersburg,” Charles- ton,” with the names of other places captured. “Victory,” Union,” &c. As on the previous occasion, this building attracted great atten- tion, and it was considered by many the best dressed building in the city. Jay Oooke & Co.’s Banking House was finely illuminated, and emblazoned with.transparencies, bearing the inscriptions, “Glory to God, who hatlto U.S. Grant-d the victory ;” “The Busy Bees— Balls, Ballots, Bonds:” “Response of the loyal people to the cry of traitors—Let us a-loan.” The Bank ot Metropolis, the National Bank of the Metropolis, and the banking houses of Riggs & Co.. and Stewart & Uo., on 15th street, are Neserving of special mention for the hand- pome manner in which they were illumina- ted. No 1 Steamer of our fire department, whose house is so arranged as not to permit ofa very fine show, brought out their apparatus which was trimmed with evergreens, fiowers, flags, &c., nd brilliartly lighted np makinga fine display. The private residences of Gen’l Howe, Gen’) Hoffman, Colonel Hardee, and Colonel Pelouze, all of which are on I street. were magnificent- ly illuminated and tastefally bestowed with flags and evergreens, as w&s also the residence of Mr.S. E. Douglass, City Register, and the county residence of Thomas P. Morgan, of the firm of Morgah & Rhivehardt. It would be impessille for us to mention the names of all those who had their residences and places of business illuminated in this ward, butas we passed along the streets we noticed the following:—John A Kheem, G.

The Navy Yard folks were not by any means behind the up town people, and it may be said that the whole ward was illuminated. It would indeed be a hard task to name all who united in the celebration, and such who may haye escaped the notice of our reporters, will, we are sure,*excuse us.

McCormick, George Callaghan, and Isemore, Peter Mack, at the corner of the * Mr. N°. 8,782. avenue and 3d street east, made a fine display as well as his neighbors, Maj. Swartze, Capt.

Mr. Hunt, Aldermen Gulick, Mr. Shett, Dr. Ford, Mr. Barry and R. J. Mejgs, General Holt, (Judge Advocate General,) Major Eli, and Mr. King were handsomely illuminated. On the north side of the Capitol the beautiful cottage of A. T. Longley presented a fiae ap- pearance and therow of houses on north A street, opposite the east park, made a handsome appearance— Whitney’s restaurant, Mrs. Car- ter, (who bad in her windows Lincoln, Sher- man and Grant,) Mr. Welles, W. P. Hicks, Senator Browning, N. Sargeant, and A. E. Johnson’s residences being brilliantly lighted. W.A. Franklin, B and ist street north; Mrs. Hitz and F. Hitz, couth A street; Ross’ N. J. House. near the Baltimore Depot; Pabst’ Tur- ner Hall, near by; Behrend. near the west gate of the Capitol; the Capitol Saloon near by and Steuben Hall at the corner of 2d street looked finely, while Adams Express Bullding was lighted mp even tothe flag-staif, and Stewer éisplayed in gas the motto The Union Forey- er.” Messrs. B.S. Bohrer, Thomas E. Clarke, Dr. Davis. Captain Buden, Jas. Nokes, Krau- ger, of the Sixth Ward, made fine displays, and little Rose Hill was not far behind Captain Ferguson, J. B. Davis, M.E. Bright, F. Van Reswick, Craig, Richards, K. H. Lambell, and others too numerous to mention shining ont. The residence of Commodore Montgomery, the Commandant at the Navy Yard, was bril- liantly lighted up and presented a dazzling appearance. The residence of Colj Zesien, Commanéant of the marine corps, was fluely decorated and lighted up, and the center house of the barracks (officers quarters.) was fes- tooned with flags and illuminated, as weilas the non-commissioned officers quarters. The camp of the engineer corps, east of the Navy Yard, presented a dazzling appearance, an arch from whicha nember of lanterns were hung had been erected oyer the entrance, while a huge bonfire was kept burning in the centre of the camp. The Masonic Lodge Room ot Washington Naval Lodge, at the corner of 6th and Virginia avenue, was handsomely illuminated. The Wallach School House, corner of Sth streeteast, presented a most magnificent ap- pearance and attracted a great share of public attention. The boys attending the schools in the building assembled at an early hour, and accompanied by drums and fifes, they marched about the building hurrahing, singing patriotic songs, &c., while a merry peal was wrung trom the bell. The Sth precinct station house, on South Carolinaavyenue, nearéth street, was decorated and lighted up throughout, larterds and fiags hanging from every window, while candies were not discarded, and trom the top of which floated a handsome flag. The Swics Consulate, on A street south, dis- played a handsomely inscribed “The old Republic of the Oid World greets the new Republic of the New World on the occasion of its new birth.’’ The barracks of the Veteran Reserve Corps on Carroll Hill were brilliantly lighted up, in- numerable lanterns being hung about the quarters and several bonfires being kept burn- ing, while the men were engaged in singing patriotic songs, &c. The Old Capitol and Uarroll prisons, under the superintendence of Wm. P. Wood, were brilliantly lighted, and from some of the win- dows had appropriate mottoes displayed. The Coast Survey buildings on New Jerseyavenue. were brilliantly lighted up, attracting much attention. The Columbia Engine house, now oecupied by steamer No. 3, the upper part being used by the Library Association, was tastefully decor- ated, the entire house wearing 4 national uni- form with each window lighted and @ lantern on the top of the flag staff. The extensive green houce in the Botanical Garden, near the foot of the Capitol, were brilliantly lighted up under the superinten- dence of W. P. Smith and from the avenue it was beantiful to look upon. The residence of Gen. Hardie, on Delaware avenue above, C street north, presented a most magnificent appearance, the front being clothed with national and corps flags, while a full~ complement ef candles were burnt in each window. A fine band was stationed in front and during theeyening discoursed music for the crowd. The Soldiers’ Rest (Capt. Camp) was bril- liantly lighted, and although not situated ina very desirable locality for observation, yet it attracted a full share of attention. The principal office of the Washington and Georgetown Passenger Railway was brilli- antly lighted and considerable bunting dis- played. Here we may state that the company last night made much better ®rrangements than were made on Tuesday night last, each ear being required to run until the wants of the public were fally met. It was at a very late hour before they ceased running, and in many cases parties in order to get seats wonld get in and go to the end of a route for the sake ef return seats. One of the most beautiful sights was the In- fane Asylum over the river, and from the Capitol Hill and other commanding localities, it was one of the principal objects of attrac- tion—surpassing the previous illumination. The Arlington House, across the river, at- tracted much attention, and those who got a sight at it with a glass expressed great admi- ration, it looking then like a fairy palace. The Capitol was lighted from the basement to the tholus of the dome, and viewed trom any point, it presented a sight well worth see- ing, and thousands of persons visited it during the evening. SEVENTH WARD. The gorgeous display in the central portion Oi the city necessarily attracted the attention from the more distant portions and therefore scant justice is likely to be done them. The Seventh Ward gets no menticn in the morning papers, and yet its illuminations were so gen- eral over the whole extent of its large territory that it was utterly impossible to begin to enu- merate them. Prof. Henry’s residence, Smithsonian Build- ing, made a mostattractive appearance; Island Hall was a blaze of light, as was the 6th street public school house and other school buildings in the ward. We can scarce undertake toenu- merate a tithe of the other points illuminated. Among those on 7th street that attracted atten- tion werethe Forage Department, 7th street wharf, Captain McConnell superintendent, Soldiers’ Barracks and Quarters of Captain Vanderlip and Lieut. Keel, lith V. R. ©.; “First and Last Call Restaurant,” Mrs. Mil- ler’s Restaurant; B. b. Sitz & Bre.; Martin, barber; Powhatan Hotel; Guard Room, 7th street wharf. From this point was to be seen a magnificent view ot Arlington standing out a blaze of light on its commanding height across the river. On 7th street also, Mr. P. Hare, Mr. Crosson, Mrs. C. Weeden, J. Leichengen, Jno. Thomas, “Seventh Street Restaurant,” Mr. Jacobs, Wm. H. Thompsea, Mr. Baldwin, Mrs. Biel- aski, J. Hepburn, (near 7th,) John S. Sheets, Mr. Jarboe, W. McUauley, L.
