A BRILLIANT STREET PAGEANT. ee Final Session of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland—The Old Officers Re-elected—A Filial Greeting to Gen. Thomas’ Widow. ——__. ‘When the sun shot its first rays above the east- ern horizon this morning it was saluted by a can- non salvo from the Arsenal grounds, The sun was thus honored to-day because, before it would set it Would look upon and shine upon a scene of more than usual importance in the history of the city and in the history of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, And tne sun seemed to be flattered into good humor by this early morning salute, for it brushed the clouds from the sky and just devoted itself to shining and smiling and making the day one of the most per- fect May days that even Washington has ever known. When this complacent sun had risen up where it could peep over the Capitol its rays Slanted down upon the bronze of the statue of Gartield and made it glisten like burnished gold. It was Garfield day. ‘The sun was not long up be- fore drum beats and strains of martial music filled the air and announced the preparations for the ceremony of the day. The Society of the Army of the Cumberland held a meeting during the morning, and cleared up the business of the annual reunion. Adjourning, they joined, the procession, that moved througi the city 16 Maryland Circle, where, at one o'clock, the cere- monies attending the unvelling of the ‘statue be- Kan. “AU tue close of the ceremonies the members proceeded to the 7th-street wharf to take a boat tor Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall.

There was agavel ready for him on the table to-day; so he discarded the mallet that he used yesterday. ‘The first business of GEN. P. H. SHERIDAN. the day was the reading of the REPORT OF THE GARFIELD MONUMENT COMMITTEE. ‘This was read_by Gen. H. M. Cist. This was in the nature of a final report, and reviewed the pro- ceedings that led up to the ceremonies of unvell- ing to-day. ‘The report stated that at the present meeting the committee had paid tn full the obli- gations to the sculpvor, and had bis receipt in Tull for $56,748.85, Contributions, the report sald, have been made by people all over the conntry, in sums rangin; froin 2 cents to $100.

This statue is mainly a tribute from Gen. Gar- fleld’s immediate a ofthe Army of the Cumberland, with which he served, and in which, as chief of staff, he bore so conspicuous a part. But though love, born of camp, bivouac and bai- Ue, prompted its erection, yet, in a larger Sense it is the nation’s tribute to the memory cf a citizen, educator, soldier, statesman, and ruler.

Garfield's characteristics on the base of this monument in thr e principal phases of his lfe—those of student, Warrior, and “Recognizing that Garfield, at an early age, a8 tn ing thal all after life, was a student, the artist, by the figure of a youth in primitive dress and in a thoughtful, ‘studious attitude poring over some roblem written on a piece of bark, represents fim as struggling with obstacles which be is yet determined to overcome. ‘The soldier phase of Garfield's life—when appeal was made from eloquence and argum( to the sword and when he stood forth to force with force—the sculptor symbolizes by muscular figure of a warrior in ancient Ge costume, Who, roused by the trumpet’s call, grasy his sword for action. The costume points the ob- server to the vigorous Saxou origin of Garfield's ancestry, and suggests force. ‘The third figure on the base represents him as @ statesman in repose, suggestive of the “calm majesty of the law"—unswerving integrit, dom to frame just laws and courage to them. This figure is draped in costume, more refined and classic, indicating an intellectual domination. In these figures the pliant sensibility of youth, the force of manhood, and the calm repose of knowledge and power, are singularly exemplified. ‘These qualities were’ retained in the character of General Garfield to the close of his life, ‘THE PRINCIPAL STATUE represents him in the act of public speaking—de- livering his inaugural address as President of the ‘Tnited States; but not confined alone to this par- occasion or incident.
