Gittvsjilro, 1'aMay SO Au uuu.-ualli largo crowd as present at tlie Decoration Djy excrelst. A large congressional delegation was present. The feature of tho day's proceedings was an address by Senator Sena-tor IngalK Senator Ingalls' address was n brilliant one, and was received with tremendous applausev In the course ol It, referring to yesterday's celebration cele-bration at Richmond, he said, in part. I ha e no de-lrc on this sacred occasion oc-casion to refer to anj subject that Is inconsistent with tho solemnity of tlie hour, but unless the Ideas for which our dead died wero right, they died in vain. Rut the only regret re-gret that seems to bo felt by our adversaries ad-versaries Is that in tno rebellion the failed lo succeed. Robert E. Leo was undoubtedly one of tbegreatett soldiers of the age, lofty of character, pure in life. For twenty fivo yeata his sword was worn with the flag of ILo republic He had been educated at her expense, and had taken an oath to support her Constitution Constitu-tion and her laws, but he violated vio-lated his oath, put aside his sword and tool; tbe lcajerslilpof the most causeless rebellion since the devil rebelled against heaven, and, In Perjury and in violation or faith ani bonsr. Those who profess to have accepted the result of thenar In good faith selected this occasion In all other anniversaries of the 305 days of the year, with every AUelSlENTATIOV OS INSOLENCE to point to the South that this ls an examrltf after which they should copy. A Confederato flag ls placed in the band of Washington. Cries or "Shame! shame!" What wonder won-der If tho dead should cry out against this sacrilege? We are told that God alone knows which sldo was right. Xow the.su n rises on no master and sets on no slave. The shame sit the Republic is washed out. I-lbcrtylstholawoftheland, and jet God a'ono knows which was right, If we wero not right, If a nation Is not Utter than secession, seces-sion, then these ceremonies are without significances This teu-dency teu-dency of tbeSouth must bo resented. This ls In the way or Instruction, a duty wo owe to tho future, that out relations to tbe conflict be understood under-stood and that our dead did not die In vain. It Is not necessary to disparage dis-parage the bravery of our adver-?"!: adver-?"!: Let tbem raise monuments to tbelrdead and cherish thelrdecda. Let tbtm eulogize tho lost cause; let them worship their leaders; let them carry their stars and bars. .Tbesa are matters or taste they must decide for themselves. There b no other country under the sun that would permit such transections. They aro our countrymen, united (o us by common heritage, tbey say, but when the assert that Lincoln and Davis, Gratif and le, Logan and Jackson were equal, and that "God alone knows V. hlch was right," It b a sacrilege of the vilest type and needs rebuke. ;Jl Bad Becor.1.
