THE DOUGLAS MONUMENT. the Corner Stone._Preltminary Pre- ed An Impesing Procession —Arrt- yal atthe Grave —Reautital Decorations re — The Presidential Cortego—Gen. Wix's Oration, &c., &o. CMmc ag, Sept. 6.—The great event of today was the layiog of the cormer stone of the monument to the memory of Stephen A, Douglas. The Presiden: tial party were this morning escorted to Fair View, or Deugias Place, which is sitasted about three miles from Chicago. This is considered one of the most beautiful sposs on the ahores of Lake Michigan, The procession was imposing, and included the Me sonic fraternity, together with a force of police and the Chief Marshals and aids preceding the Presi- dont of the United States, and General Dix, the orator of the day, Then came Mayor Kice end Hon. Wim. H. Seward, the cabinet and other distinguished mueste; United States Army Officers, General Grant General Rawlings, Geueral Meade and staff, General Steadman, General Rowssesa, Gone:al tar and other prominent officers; United States Navy Of. core; Admiral Farragut, Admiral Radwood, Lieut. McKinley ; Trustees of the Douglas Menament As- sociation; members of A. F.and A.M, of Elinois, in carriages ; citizens Committee of Arrangements on foot: the Common Council of Chicago; Mayors Sod Councils of sister eities on foot; Twenty: third and Sixty-second Regiments Il), Volanteers; Hibernian Benovolent Boelety; French [Benevolent Society; United Sons of Erin; Union National So clety, of Iilimot; Father Mathew Temperance Bo clety, Edmund Crossfield, Marshal; Trades’ Unions of Chicago, Charles Alexander Radish, Marshal; Bo- bemian Selavonic Society; Sclovanste Lipa Sclaven- ie Brotherhood; Pretestant St. Wensecsians Soci Catholic Local Turners’ Soci Alahoe Sing Boelety, Andrew @chall, Ma: Sharp 8h ooters’ Union; Singi Areociation; German Turnverein; Batcbers' Association; Citizens generally, Arrived on the ground the procession formed iu the vicinity, of the base of the monument. The ¢rave was bean- tifully decorated. Four columns, thirty-five feet in helebt, stood at each corner of the grave, with arches rising thirty-four feet in the centre, spanning from one to the other. These were festooned with drape- ries, amd flage of black cloth, fringed with silver while the colamns were wound round with ornamen- tal draperies, interpersed with roses aad evergreens. On the top ef each column, and over the centre of the arches were roses of flowers, &o, The around the grave was completely eushrou with fiagr, so as t conceal it trom view. The ground inside was strewn with wild flowers, and » marbie bust of Douglas, with » model of the monument, were placed on pedestals near the head of the grave. The scone of the ceremony was on the shore of Lake Michigan, within ten fees of the water. The stands completely surrounded the tomb, andia the interval beyond these, far off to the boundaries of the Doug- las estate, the audience was massed in solid ranks, ‘The entire spectecie presented an amphichestre, of which the inclined seats formed the sides, and the open lake the background, The entry of the Presiden- tial procession was the first impressive poimtin the proceedings. A band of music preceded the cortege. battalion of Knights Templars succeeded, and the representatives of the Masonic Fraternity followed. The latter ascended the stand and rested imme diately around the base of the monument, where they prepared te perform the ancient rites, At this point, just before the appearence of the President, the vast crowd broke the ropes placed areund the re- rerved grounds aad rushed to nearly all parte of the field, Order was fully restored by the exertions of the Templars and Ellsworth Zonaves, A light shower feli for « few moments, but finished soon enough to avoid amy marring of the scene, The President and party, with heads uncovered, now entered the grounds, The order of thelr progress om foot was particularly noticeable. Seward bad the President's arm; Welle and Randall walked together; Grant accompanied Komero, At the approach of the pro cession the audience, as if actuated by one simulta- neous impulse, rose to their feet, From the house tops, where the care stopped om the shoresof the Lake, from people tn windows, in vebleles, and even in the trees, one long and bearty huzza ascended, The demonstration betokened considerable feeling. being at once an indication of enthusiasm &b the presence ofthe distinguished quests and an appreciation of the solemnity of the oceasion. On the lofty platform elevated above the rest of the assem- blage was seated the most important concourse that perhaps ever collected under similar circumstances Most of the great officials ip every department of the Government surrounded the President. The youthful soms of Mr. Douglas were present, and touchingly reminded everyone of the sad object that had surrounded the pilgrims. The first in the course of the proceedings was « brief but appropriate address by Mayer Rice, The Masonic Grand Master of Lilinois, I, R. Gavin, ap- peared iu front of the stand and deiivored a shert, touching andeloquent address, in which be paid a glowing tribute te the memory of the Ulustrious de- ceased, both ase friend dnd ase Mason, and referred to the fact that ® statue will be placed on the monu- ment, visible tothe veyager on this island sea as long as starlight aad sunbeams love te dance on ite crested billows. The Grand Chaplain then invoked the Divine bies slug upon the proceedings, when the ceremony of laying the corner stone took place according to the Masonic Ritual. After blessing with corn, wine and Oil, the stone was lowered in its place, ¢ minute guns w being fired, and the band played a dirge which seemed to solemnize all hearts. ‘The Girand Mester congratulated those present en the fact tbat there was present no less « person than the President of the United Btates, with distinguish. ed beads of Departnests, and who was, as he had heard and believed, a member of the Masonic fra- ternity, This remark was applauded by the clapping of bands, A prayer was then delivered by Rev. Wm. H. Milburn, of the Pro‘estaat Episcopal Church, when the orator of the Day, Maj. Gen. Dix, addressed the assembiage as follows: THE ORATION, Fe.tow-Crrizens :—The scene in which we are attora to-uay, with all ite surrounding circumstances and accompanying recollections, has po paral el in this or any otherage.
