Our at Latta Park things have borne still more the military aspect and the vhite tents of the soldiers, Uncle Sam's regulars, men who know mili tarv tactics like a book, and whose lives are spent in the study of the problems of the military man. To-day the long drawn out prepara tory came to a head in the imposing spectacle which was presented the thousands of people from far and near, who have been pouring into the city on every train for the past three days, and who were anticipating with keen delight the prospect of witnessing a spectacular parade of the men who make up the regular army and are the biave defenders ofa great na tion.

Concord Fire Department. The Winston Company to the regret of many, arrived too late to take the Place by right theirs in the parade, but brought up the rear, making a good show of well drilled men. The appearance of the soldier boys in their uniforms, and the handsomely j uniformed officers, with their straight figures and military bearing," brought forth the pent-up energy of the wait ing throngs who applauded and shouted their approval. The appearance of the cavalry wras the signal for more applause and shouting as these well trained men with their horses that responded to every pull of the rein or touch of the spur, marched like a body of men cemr-med together so that every step and motion was in un:3on. The cav alrymen made a fine impression and the thousands of spectators were Quick to recognize that they were ooking on one of the best bodies of Norsemen in the world. Ladies on pandas, and from windows waved flags and clapped their hand at sight f the drilled horsemen and cavalry "en as they marched in a phalanx ihat seemed to be all of one solid body. . the State -Militia nrvnaietinr nf five ft HftPPY Pi MARCH companies, cie Texl tt fteto well seem to be so nourishing : now. ine mown taces, many of them, and at conviction of a prominentxitizen at a ,eir appearance, the spectators again! recent term of court seems to be bear f owed their pride in the men at ling good fruit in favor of law-enforce,- 'eaciv at. tho -o . lhe Charlotte Drum Corps, the Ma Nne Band, at the head of the proces sion, and the Third Regiment band of Kaligh, furnished the music and noise of the los ine of march. Of course the Drun.s rps made a hit, and was greeted a. mg the line with loud cheers. The Charlotte Ar Vy turned out in full force and m. v an imposing show with their guns, A squads of well trained men, who .mow how to handle the guns with the most "ex act precision. Next came the mounted staff of the State division of he United Confeder ate Veterans, with their officers in the lead, mounted, and tne Veterans marching on foot and receiving an ovation wherever they went. Many of the old soldiers, officers and men, were kept busy removing their hats and bowing to the thousands of peo ple who shouted and cheered as they passed. It was a sight that will be long re membered by those who were so for tunate as to witness it. The march ing together of the veterans and of the sturdy and brave soldiers of a united country, was a scene that is the outward sign of a greater truth hidden beneath the binding up of old wounds, and the loyalty of every sec tion to the stars and stripes. "Military Day" in Charlotte will be a historic date no doubt in after years when those who watched the long procession recall the genuine pa triotism displayed on every hand. The yoy that seemed to pervade every where in the recognition by the 'gov ernment of the claims of the Meck lenburg people to a place with the pa triots of Philadelphia. The details of the parade were car ried out admirably by the command ing officers and authorities, and it proved even a more patriotic display than was thought possible. Nothing but the strongest words of commend ation were heard on every side. Charlotte has never witnessed a more imposing one, and one that stir red the patriotism of the people deep er and more profoundly. The Illumination at Night. Thousands of many colored electric lights, in long streamers, like points in the .darkness, hanging in graceful curves, or representing designs of various forms and shapes these were afforded the sightseers last night for the first time by the electricians of the city. The scene presented by the lights looking up and down the various ! thoroughfares was Such that descrip tion seems weak, and attempts to pic ture it fail. The electric lights shone with a steady sparkle that added gaiety to the streets and thousands of people reveled in the glow of the little lamps last night, and almost thought it was day. The designs that are being presented by many "of the stores show the best taste and careful selectfon, and excel lent work on the part of the electric ians. Up cn the city hall tower, two long streamers of lights curved away 'up ward almost to the place where the big dragon sits perennially and defies the elements. On other buildings and on nearly every pole on the streets the lights shone out and made the scene cue not soon to be forgotten. The illuminations wrill be continued until the gala week is over and will be viewed each night by thousands of visitors as they afford a scene that is not easily tired of, and the splendor of the lights will be remembered as one of the special features of the Twentieth of May celebration of this year.

Te Old Veterans Parade Touched the Hearts of Many as they Passed by. Was it mere emotion or was it some thing else that caused the surging throngs to hush this morning as the old veterans of the Civil War went marching by with the guns on their shoulders? Although the Charlotte Drum Corps was making noise that seemed to drown everything else, as the veter ans came down the street fromi the City Hall, there fell a silence over the crowd that was almost painful, and women along the sidewalk and in windows and carriages were seen sud denly to be crying, and strong men seemed to change color as if they too were laboring under intense emotion. To the beating - of the drums the vererans, survivors of a score of .bat tles and four years of, carnage, they went silently most of them with their guns borne high in the air, with that steady tread, that intense silence, that '.made people, no matter from which section, feel something stratie-e peculiar ana Some of the spectators almost turn ed their faces aside, the sight stir red such emotion within their breasts. - It was the guns on the shoulders of the veterans that had much to do with the scene. Charlotte has often seen them marching with their uni forms, but not very often with guns. The sight of these instruments of war in the hands of the old veterans stir red emotions that could not be down ed. One strong man was heard to say 'I don't like to look at that." It was too much for his emotional nature. The throngs, however, felt that they had to give some sort of recognition to the veterans although they seem ed to command silence. So intense was this feeling that handclapping and a few cheers was all tffat was heard above the beating of the drums. No doubt people from every section of the country were . affected alike by the scene. It was a reminder of a time when every man ' was a hero, whether from the North or cSouth, and the children of those men could not but feel the straining at their hearts when they saw the men of forty years ago marching by with their guns once more ashoulder. To an outsider the scene presented nothing but a group of men with uni forms and guns, but to most of those who watched the veterans march from the City Hair down Tryon street, it meant more than words can tell. It was not on the program exact ly just a march . of the veterans to the place of rendezvous on South Try on street but it came so suddenly on the vast throngs, and so unexpected ly, that the effect was something strange and peculiar, and although it was a gala day there were wet eyes among the women, and men could not conceal the emotion that stirred them. But those who love the veterans most also love the stars and stripes most, is a truth that can scarce be doubted now by any body. VETERANS PRIZE DRILL Veteran Wm. 'Smith won First Prize Other Prizes'. Awarded. ' .The prize drill among the members l o r,,i citinvotors this morning attracted a large crowa ax me grandstand on South Tryon street. Acting Commander Sossaman select ed the judges who were Veterans Mc- Ghee, Peterson and Col. F. A. Olds of Raleigh. - The manual was gone through from cover to cover and the old veterans warmed up with interest as they went through the familiar tactics ot torty years ago. The judges awarded the first prize of $5 in gold to Capt. W. M. Smith, the second prize to Veteran Young and the third prize to Veteran J. D. Barrier. The drill and contest was watched by a large crowd of interested spec tators. CASE OF SENATOR BURTON. ' To investigate Lenal Effect of Yester- day's: Decision. By Associated Press.

THE CALDWELL CASE BEFORE ASSEMBLY. The Pastor ot the First Church of Fort Worth, Texas, Very Much in Evidence at .the General Assembly Now n Session at Greenville, S. C. Special to The News." GreenVille S. C, May 22. The Gen eral Assembly yesterday, a lively epi- sode took place touching the famous Caldwell case before the Assembly. Rev. Josephus Johnston D. D. of the Texas Synod, rose to a question of personal privilege, saying that on yesterday a telegram had been sent to Fort Worth, Texas., in which town the Rev. William Caldwell is pastor of the First Church, declaring that the majority of the Assembly is very favorable to Rev. Mr. Caldwell. He intimated that the friends of Mr. Caldwell was trying to 1 pre-judge the case. To this insinuation Mr. Vv. L. Logan, a member, of the session of the First Church, Fort Worth, re plied emphatically that neither he nor any of those representing ' Mr. Caldwell had anything to do with'' the sending, of such a telegram with this the incident closed to come up later. One of the things that created much interest and enthusiasm was the recommendation of the Standing Committee on Church vand 'Christian Education that a general ; Secretary be appointed for this -ause" and ' that the Assembly order an - annual collec tion for the benefit of Schools. and Colleges within aer bounds, thus plac ing the educational' cause ' in the same relation to the objects of systematic beneficance that the cause of home missions occupies. The- As sembly adopted the recommendation and also directed that the church should make an effort to influence and help in a spiritual way the Pres bkterian boys and girls now .. in state institutions by providing chap lains and in other approved ways. Speeches were made on 'this subject by Rev. Dr. T. II. Rice, Atlanta, Rev. A. H. P. McCurdy, and Rev Dr. Wm. E. Boggs, of ' Jacksonville, Florida, When the matter came up as" to a place of location of the new commit tee to have charge of the Education al work three places were nominat ed. Asheville. Atlanta, and Memphis. Rev. T. A. Wharton D. D. moved that a committee of five be appiint to nominate a place, and the fol lowing committee was appointed; Rev. T. H. Rice, D. D, Rev. A. C. Hopkins, D. D. , Dr. H. L. Smith, Rev. W. E. Boggs, D. D. and Rev, W. Moore Scot. The Assembly decided to appoint a committee, at Dr, J. R. Howerton's request, to visit Montreat, N. C, with a view to examining that place and inquiring into the advisability of establishing a Summer School of Theology. Rev. Dr. H. E. Kirk, of Baltimore, chairman of Publication and " Sab- bath schools made an interesting re- pun, -.jeiiuiuuieuuuig house xof nublication be established somewhere in the west as soon as the way is clear, that the Sunday school work be pushed with vigor; and that every effort be made to train the young people for future use fulness in the church. In answer to an overture from one of the presbyteries it was decided to organize a Men's Brotherhod in the church ; similar to those in other branches of the christian church. This evening the first guns were fired in the conflict between the con tending forces on closer relations. It came about in this way. The presby tery of Green Brier overtured the As sembly to reprint an old book known as the Distinctive .Principles of the Southerh Presbyterian Church. The book contains an account of the things which caused the separation of the Southern church from the Northern in 1861 , together with many objectionble deliverances by both As semblies made in war on reconstruc tion times, and while, it contains much (valuable history,, .it is by no means "an ideal book to put ihto the hands of the people. The debate which was quite sharp as to whether it was wise to direct the committee of Publication bring out a new edition was continued for some time.Rev. Eugene Daniel D. D. of Lewisburg, tW. Va., Dr. A. C. Hopkins, Bennett Young, Louisville, Rev. A. H. P. McCurdy, Hon. John A; Preston, of I W. Va., Rev. Dr. W. M. McPheeters, ! Columbia, S. C. Rev. O. G. Jones of Texas, favoring the reprinting. On the other hand it was opposed by Col. Thomas W. Bullitt, -Louisville, Rev" Dr. R.' H. Fleming, , Lynchburg, and many others. Dr. J. R. Howerton moved' that ; the whole matter be re ferred to ah adinterim committee to examine the book-and report at the next Assembly as to' the. advisability of publishing any or all of it, and his motion prevailed. ; " Dr. J. W. Stagg, chairman of the Judicial committee, made a report as to the mode of procedure in' the Caldwell case.' That your readers may imderstand the matter of the Judicial case to come before 'the Assembly in connection with ; the Rev.' William uaiawen or Fort worth, a lew ex planatory words may be in place. Rev Mr. Caldwell came from Baltimore to take charge of the First Presby terian ; Church : Fort Worth, ' Texas. He was examined and received by the Fort Worth Presbytery and or dered to be Installed pastor of the First Church. Against this action the minority complained to the t Synod of Texas. The Synod sfent the 'case back with directions to the Presbytery to re-examine Mr. Caldwell. This the Presbytery did and again received him, or rather confirmed ; the former decision against the minority complain ed to Synod and this time the Synod reversed the decision of the Presby tery on the ground that ; Mr. ' Cald well was not sound in doctrine. This had the effect of declaring that' Mr. Caldwell was not a member of Fort Worth Presbytery nor the pasto of the First Church against this action the friends of Mr. Caldwell complain ed to the Assembly.
