For three days the incoming trains have been crowded, and all night long the streets were filled with the sound of fife and drum and the tramp of marching men as the visiting veterans and miht ary organizations arrived and sought their quarters. Every state is repi'esented by organizations. Maryland and North Carolina particularly turning out in force, and from the Empire State come the New York camp of Confederate Veterans and the Southern society. Among tlu1 more famous organizations are the Filth regiment. of Baltimore; the Washington Light Artillery, of New Orleans, and the Palmetto Guard, of South Carolina.

The Parade. At V2 o'clock the parade moved promptly down Eroad street from the corner of Adams. Mounted police led the way, followed by the Stonewall band. Then came the marshal of the day, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, mounted on a magnificent iron gray charger, followed by his aides, with Gen.

But the magnanimity of the conqueror, not less than the fortitude of the vanquished, shone out on the solemn scene and softened its tragic outlines of fate and loom. The moderation and good sense of the northern people, breathing the large and generous air of our western world, quickly re sponded to Grant's example, and though the north was afterward betrayed into fanatical ind baleful exceis on more than one great snbject, all the fiercer passions of a bloody civil war were rapidly extinguished. There was to be no Poland, no Ireland in America.

He had drawn his sword in ooeaience oniy to tne dictates of duty.and honor. But, facing the duty of the hour, Lee saw now that the question submitted to the great arbitrament of war had beea finally answered. He recognized that the unity of the American people had been irrevocably established. He fell that it would be impiety and crime to dishonor by petty strife of actions that pure and unselfish straggle, for constitutional rights which, while a single hope remained, had been loyally fought out by great armies, led by heroic captains and sustained by the patriotic sacrifices of a noble and resolute people.

xiie ileum tea voumry. He therefore promptly counselled his old soldiers to looK upon tne great country tnus mnnited bv blood andiron as their own. and to live and labor for its honor and welfare. His own conduct was in accord with these teachings. Day by day his example illustrated what his manly words declared, that "Human virtue should be equal to human calamity." After a brief reference to the remainder of Lee's life, passed in the dis rhanrfl nf his Hntip-i na nraxident of Washinsr ton college, the orator ended his address as follows: As th people saw him fulfilling these mod est, but noble, functions; as they saw him with antique simplicity putting aside everj temptation to use his great, fame for vulgai gain; as they saw him in self respecting con tentment with the frugal earnings of his personal labor, refusing every offer of pecuniarj assistance; as tUey his unselfish de votion of all that remained of strength anc life to tlie ture of the southern youth ir knowledge nd morals, a new conviction oi his wisdom and virtue gathered force anc1 BDrPftd abroad iito all lands 'iter are men whose influence on mankmu neither worldly success nor worldly failuri can affect.

"The greatest gift the hero leaves his his race is to have been a hero." Thi. moral perfection, breathing the very spirit ol his Christian faith, is no illusive legend of 8 succeeding generation, exaggerating th worth of the past. The Iiessons of His Life. There is about this exhibition of moral ex cellence the same quality of power in reservi that marks, hinins a soldier. He never failed to come up to the full requirements of any situation; bis conduct communicated the impression that nothing could arise to which he would be found unequal.

His every actioL went straight to the mark without affectation or display. It cost hiin no visible effon to be good or great. He was not consciout that he was exceptional either way, and he died in the belief that, as he had been sometimes unjustly blamed, so he had as often been too highly praised. Such is the holj simplicity of the noblest minds. Sueh wat the pure and lofty man in whom we see the perfection of Christian virtue and old Romai manhood.

His goodness 'makes us love hit greatness. And the fascination which thif THE STATUE ON THE PEDESTAL. matchless 'combination exerts is itself i symptom and a source in use of moral health. As long as our people truly love and veneraU him; there will remain in them a principle of good. For all the stupendous wealth and po wet which -in the last thirty years have lifted these states to the foremost rank among th nations of the earth, are less a subject foi pride than this one heroic "man, this humai product of our country and its institutions.

Let this monument, then, teach to generations yet unborn these lessons of his life. Let it stand, not as a record of civil strife, but as a perpetual protest against whatever is lo and sordid in our private and public objects. Let it stand as a memorial of personal honor that never brooked a stain; of knightly valot without thought of sMf; of far reaching mlli-tary genius unsoiled by ambition; of heroic constancy, from which no cloud of misfortune could ever hide the path of duty. Let it stand for reproof and censure, if out people shall ever sink below the standards ol their fathers. Let it stand for patriotic hope and cheer, if a day of national gloom and dis aster shall ever dawn upon our country.

Let it stand as the embodiment of a brave and virtuous people's ideal leader. Iet it stand as a great public act ot thanksgiving and praise, for that it pleased almighty God to bestow upon these southern states a man so formed to reflect his attributes of power majesty and goodness.

The fame of the other, not yet generation old, and won in -a cause which was lost, is already established by ffat impartial judgment, or ioreign nations wnicn antici pates the verdict ot tbe next age, upon an equal pinnacle, and millions of our countrymen, present here with us in our thoughts and echoing back from city and plain and mountain top the deep and reverent voice oi this vast multitude, will this day confirm our solemn declaration that the i monument to George Washington has found its only fitting complement and companion in a monument to Robert E.

Lee. It is the recognition in Lee of the principal elements of high ideal courage, will, energy, insight, authority the organizing mtnd with its eagle glance and temperament for com mand, broad, based upon fortitude, hopeful ness, joy in battle, all exalted by'herolo pur pose and kindled with thef glow ofn uncon querable soul; it is, besides and above all, the unique combination in him of imojal strength with moral beauty; of "aU, that is great in heroic action with all that is god in common Hie. tUat will make oi this pile of stones a sa cred shrine dear throughout the coming ages- not to soldiers only, but to all helpers and friends of mankind." The orator then went into an elaborate bio graphical review of the life and character of Gen. Lee. His marriage to the great-grand- daugater of Washington's wife formed a tie which connected him by daily-association of family and place with Washington's fame and character, and it may well be believed that Lee made Washington his model of pub- he duty.

Lee's personal appearance and moral char. acteristics in his early manhood, and his ser vices in Mexico, especially at the battle of Contreras, were sketched lightly. "History, said the orator, "wiU record, as Scott himself nobly admitted, that Lee was Sdett's right arm in Mexico." After leading up to the period when it became necessary for Gen. Lee to make his choice of which side he should fight on in the coming conflict. Cel.

Anderson said: No more painful struggle ever tore the heart of a patriot. He had served the whole country in a gaUant army which commanded all his affection. lie better than most men knew the great resources of the and west. He knew northern men in their homes; THE RECUMBENT STATUE. Over Gen.

Le 's grave at Lexington, Va. he knew the bravery of the northon soldiers who filled our regular regiments Mexico. He was above the prejudices an 1 tu tats of the day which belittled norther and courage. He knew that, with 1 i-' vernal differencss, there was a sub-ctc 1 of the American race in all la lj: no rib and south. Lee's Views on Slavery.

He was equally above the weak and pas sionate view of slavery as good in ftsslf, into which the fanatical and unconstitutional agitatiou of the Abwitioa nartv8ad driven many strong minds in the south. He regarded slavery as an evil which the south had in herited and must be left to mitigate, -and, if possible, extirpate by wise and gradual if any man of that time, was capable of weighing with calmness the duty of the hour. With him the only question then, as at every moment of his.potlos3 life. was to nuu out wnicn way duty pointed. Against the urgent solicitations of Qea.

Scott, in defiance of the temptiain of am bitionfor the evidence is complete that the command of the United States anmy was of fered to him in manifest sacrifice of all hit pecuniary interests he determined that duty bade him side with his beloved Viririnia. He laid down his commission and solemnly de clared his purpose never to draw his sword save in behalf of his native state. The orator then carried his audience with him through the battles of tlie late war in which Gen. Lee's army participated. la the attack on Cheat Mountain he laid his plans with skill and vigor, but the attack ended with failurt and mortification.

The verdict of the gen- eral public on him at this time, the winter of 1863, might have been summed up in the historian's judgment. of Galba7 who "by common consent would have been deefed fit to command haThs never commanded." After Gen. Johnston's retirement from severe wounds, Lee assumed command of the Army of- Northern Virginia. The loss of Richmond at any time would CjAajbly have been fatal to the Confederacy, this fact will explain and justify in Lee'fc conduct many apparent violations of sound principles of war. The various movements and the resultant battles by which he soujjjfcj.

to effect this object the protection of Kiehmond were sketched with a bold hand. His campaigns against McClellan i and JCcDowell raised him in the minds of friend and foe to the fuU stature of a great and daring leader. The advance to the Kapidan, the invasion of Maryland and the battle of were outlined. Here Lee. said the oratr, gave the supreme proof of a greatness of as mucb above depression under reverses as elition In 'success.

Last night the city celebrated the unveiling of the monument with banquets, receptions and pyrotechnics. At the governors mansion a reception was given to the distinguished guests from the other states.

At Maj. F. M. Bay-kins' a reception to visiting Marylanders was tendered. At Sanger hall there was a military banquet of giant proportions.

Hon. J. Li. M. Curry, who served on Gen.

Johnston's statf, gave a dinner honor of his old commander, having among his guests Governor Gordon, of Georgia; Governor Fowle, of North Carolina; ex- Ttnmnl jrovernorL.ee, senators xveagau, Carlisle and Hampton, and Hon.

Robert E. Lee died on Oct. 12, 1870. On Oct. .24, 1870, a call was issued by Gen.

Jubal A. Early, asking the survivors of the army of Northern Virginia to organize a Lee Monument association. In pursuance of this call a representative meeting was held in the First Preshvtefian church in Richmond on the of October. It was called to "order by Gen. Bradley T.

Johnson, who nominated Gen. Jubal Early as temporary chairman. Hon Jefferson Davis was made permanent president, and the long list of vice presidents was headed by Maj. Gen. James B.

Gordon. The Association Formed. It was resalved to form an association to erect a monument at Richmond to the memory of Robert E. Lee as an enduring testimonial of love and devotion to his fame, and for the purpose of securing the requisite efficiency an executive committee of seven, with a president, etc. was appointed to invita and collect subscriptions, to procure de signs for the.

said' monument, and to do whatever else is required in the premises. Thus the monument movement was formally inaugurated, with Gen. Early as president of, the association. All portions of the state organized memorial associations and proceeded to active work In a short time $20,000 had been collected. It was necessary that this sum should be It was sent, to the late W.

W. Corcoran, who invested it to very great advautage. The Lee Monument associations were merged into the State Monument association; the governor, the first auditor and the treasurer of the state were to represent the state Virginia and threa lady members of the original ladies' association were to serve on the board of directors of the new organization. By this time the monument fund had reached $00,000, most of which had been collected during the administration of Governor Kemper. Growth of the Fund.

In the meantime, when Fitzhugh Lee came into the executive office the Le Monument fund had sufficiantly increased to insure the success of thi monument. The Lee monument was indeed one of Governor "Lee's pet ideas. After manymeetings of the board th present location at the head of Franklin street was decided upon. Mercie, of Paris, was sslected as the sculptor. On the 27th of October, 1887, the cornerstone of he monument was laid with splendid ceremonies, the United States Idarine band being conspicuous in th parade.

On the 3a of April the statue was shipped from Havre on the steamei Othello, reaching New' York on the 30th of April, and arriving in Richmond May Ou the 7th it was unpacked and drawn through the streets from the depot to the pedestal, thousands of enthusiastic citizens men, women 'and children having hold of the rorjes. A beautiful and inspiriting recumbent figure of Lee in marble, by Valentine, was miveueu at Liexington. This wa not ordered bv the Lee Monument association, but was the enterprise of a Lexington association. The Sculptor. Marius Jean Antoine Merci is recognized by all artists in Europe as a man of genius.

Besides being a sculptor he is a painter of renown. He is aaftnciftrWl with Falguiere in making the Lafayette statue which is designed for La- iayene square, opposite the president's house, in Washington city. Mercie is 45 years of age. His bronze statue of the young David, in the Luxembourg palace collection is often pointed out as hig masterpiece. It rtttioro 1.

Lee. Pujol's Superb PedestaL A word or two remains to be said ol the pedestal, which is at the same time a strong and elegant piece of architecture designed by Pujol, also a Frenchman, who is celebrated for his work all over Europe. As has been stated, the Eedestal is forty feet high, larger at the ase than at the top. By itself it would stand a noble and impressive monument The material is fine granite, which takes on a oeautiful polish, and is much used for mortuary memorials. On the eastern and western panels is the simple word "Lee" in large- raised block letters.

The ends of the pedestal are rounded and beautifully carved. Ihe whole stands like a magnificent altar; approached by many steps perfectly in harmony with the massive grandeur of the superincumbent bronze. he statue is unquestionably the finest equestrian statue in. America. It impresses the beholder with awe by its magnificent beauty and harmony.

It conveys the impression of Lee's dignity of bearing. No picture can reproduce It.
