HOME.
President Grant and Vice President Colfax were
inaugurated, March 4th, at the Capitol, the latter
in the Senate chamber and the former in front of
the Capitol. Both swore with uplilted hands. Gen.
Grant’s Inaugural will be found elsewhere. His
father was injured by falling down a flight of steps
during the day, but is recovering. The command
of the army haß been transferred to Gen. Sherman,
and Sheridan becomes Lieutenant Gen., Schofield
becomes Major Gen., and*CJ. C. Augur Brig. Gen.
The, Military Divisions are assigned as follows:
Atlantic to Meade; South to Terry; Louisiana to
Sheridan; Dakota to Hancock; First to Canby
Fifth to Reynolds; Washington to Emory. Gen.
Sherman has had Gen. Grant’s residence in Wash
ington and $lOO,OOO in cash presented to him by the
New Yorkers.-—Office seekers are notified to send
their applications through the proper member of
the Cabinet.
Ex-President Johnson’s last acts were the pardon
ing of convicted criminals and the killing of just
laws. Spangler and Arnold from among the mur
derers of Lincoln, the two Lamars (cotton thieves,)
Cbas. O. Brockaway (a"New York counterfeiter,)
and it is said two leading scoundrels of the New
York Whisky Ring (Jacob and Moses Depew,)
were among the last objects of his “executive
clemency.” All the Appropriation Bills as passed
he signed except that for the Indians, but the Bill
“to strengthen the public credit” he “pocketed”
as hostile to his repudiation views.
The XLth Congress closed its sessions at noon,
March 4th. The Senate had passed the Public
Credit Bill as amended in Joint-Conference; the
Legislative Appropriation Bill, the Post Office, Dip
lomatic and other Appropriation jlills.
The House concurred in the amendments to the
Bills restraining National Banks, and allowing of
the free importation of naval machinery. A reso
lution expressing sympathy both for the Spanish
revolutionists and the Cuban insurgents, and au
thorizing the President to recognize the latter, was
passed. In both branches resolutions highly eulo
gistic of the retiring officers were offered by the
Democrats and passed unanimously.
The XL Ist Congress was called to order by the
Clerks of each branch on the afternoon of March
4th. The Democrats of the house inaugurated the
session with disorderly opposition to the exc'uston
of the Georgia and Louisiana representatives from
the roll. The Senate approved of President Grant’s
nominations for cabinet officers, viz,: Elihu B.
Washburne, of Illinois, Secretary of State; A. T.
Stewart, of New York, Secretary of the Treasury;
Adolph E. Borie, of Philadelphia, Secretary of the
Navy; Ex-Gov. (and Gen.) Jacob D. Cox, of Ohio,
Secretary of the Interior; J. A. J. Cresswell, of
Maryland, Postmaster General; Judge E. R. Hoar,
ot Massachusetts, Attorney-General. The question
came up at once on the repeal of the Tenure of
Office Act, and the repeal (on Grant’s recommenda
tion) of the Law of 1798, by which an importer in
business cannot be Secretary of the Treasury. Sev
eral measures have been proposed with reference to
the first, and two bills introduced on Saturday for
the second went over through Sumner’s objections.
—A Joint Committee on the Removal of political
disabilities has been agreed to. Rev. Dr.. Newman
has been elected chaplain.
In the House Mr. Blaine, of Maine, was elected
speaker; Mr. McPherson, of Pennsylvania, Clerk.
The papers of the Maryland, Kentucky, Louisana,
and Georgia Representatives were referred to the
Committee on Elections, as was ,the Pennsylvania
cases of Covode vs. Foster, and Taylor vs. Reading.
General.—The Patent Office is so crowded with
models that it is proposed to destroy all offered prior
to 1848. The Treasury warrants for Government
expenses in February aggregated $14,657 500. The
Agricultural Department urges that the country
will be greatly injured if the indiscriminate de
struction of its forests is permitted to continue,
three-fourths having already been cut down. The
First Regt. 11. S. Infantry is ordered from New
Orleans (whither it went in 1863,) to Kansas.
National Debt. —The total debt less cash in the
Treasury, March Ist, was $2,544,336,904 against
$2,556,205,638 in February. Deduct bonds issued
to the Pacific R. R. C., $53,937,000 and we have
$2,490,399,904.
In New England the Maine Legislature wants no
restoration of the Reciprocity Treaty of Commerce
with Canada, and increases the bounty on bears to
$5. The House (95 to 45) rejects a Bill to abolish
capital punishment. Portland in rebuilding is to
be beautified with wide and regular streets and
huge docks. Boston claims to have 240,000 inhab
itants. Her Aldermen licensed 14 velocipede rinks
in one day. Her police are to suppress all masked
balls. The Cape Cod Fisheries were worth $1,500,-
000 last year. A married woman may do business
in the State independently of her husband by filing
a certificate of specifications in the County Court.
The Republicans of Rhode Island have nominated
Hon. Seth Padelford for Governor, as Gen. Burnside
will notserve again.
In the Middle Slates New York city has 15,000
tenement houses, in which 480,000 people live. Her
seventy banks have $70,000,000 capital and 30,000
shareholders. The Board of Health order a gener
al vaccination of all not already vaccinated. The
City Chamberlain credits the city with the ii terest
of money in his custody, which our city officers
never do. The Erie road has refused to allow our
North Central R. R. to use its line through Elmira,
in revenge for our Legislature’s preventing their
control of sundry Western lines. They disregard
the injunctions of the Courts. Wm. M. Tweed suc
ceeds Gov. Hoffman as Grand Sachem of Tammany.
The Democrats carried Utica, Elmira and Oswego
in Municipal elections, but lost Rochester. Gov.
Randolph, of New Jersey, has vetoed a bill incor
porating a base ball club, as one clause might in
directly sanction gambling and prize-fighting. All
transit duties on passengers have been abolished,
and R. R. companies are to be taxed on their work
ing capital.
In Pennsylvania John P. O'Neill, Esq., a worthy
man, is to be U. S. District Attorney for the Eastern
District. The very, unsuccessful attempt of Col.
McClure, of The Chambersburg Repository, do dictate
to Gen. Grant the appointment of Gov. Curtin to a
place in the Cabinet, or at least the non-appoint
ment of “such men as Geo. H. Stuart and Adolph
E. Borie,” lias strengthened the hands of the Cam
eron wing of the party by making their opponents
ridiculous. Col. Forney is in low spirits, and con?
templates emigration to North Carolina.
In the City an estimate based on the assessment
of last Spring, omitting the extra assessment of Oc ~
fixes our at 769,380. In 1868 17,250
children were born, 8,988 of them boys, and 385
colored. The ■ marriages aggregated 6,371, an in
crease of 287. The Romanists celebrated 1,141 Of
these; the Methodists 1,607 ; the Presbyterians
708; the Episcopalians 675 ; the Lutherans 518;
the [Dutch] and German Reformed 400 ; the Bap
tists 496. The .deaths were 14 693. The Mayor
has vetoed the Bill allowing the Germamovvn Pas
senger R. R. to salt their tracks. Col. Green has
resigned the City Pension Agency. Policemen are
to be seen on the streets at midnight now, which is
a novelty. The Supreme Court has decided that
social recognition, as man and wife constitutes valid
marriage. ’'' ’ ”
In tne South four pirates were hungat Princess
Anne, Md., on Friday. A Richmond jury have
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 11,1869.
defiled their consciences by acquitting James Grant
of the murder of H. Rives Pollard. The Georgia
Republicans send a deputation to ask Congress to
reconstruct the State Legislature. The Legislature
ignore the XVth Amendment. The Louisiana Leg
islature adjourned on Wednesday, after endorsing
Grant’s Inaugural. Its debates were conducted in
English, French, and sometimes German. The
planters complain of scarcity of hands. Texas,
Missouri and Kentucky were passed over by the
Trustees of the Peabody Fund, because their Ed
ucational Institutions suffered least from the war.
In the Interior minors are prohibited from play
ing billiards by a new law of Indiana. The South
ern section of the State, settled froth Kentucky, is
a scene of great social discord from the non enforce
ment of the laws. Of twenty-one murders, within
ten days, not half the perpetrators were arrested.
Chicago shipped 40,000,000 bushels of wheat this
vear. A school-teacher has been fined $l5 for cru
elly whipping a little girl who broke a pencil. The
Democrats elect the municipal ticket in Rock Is
land. The Wisconsin House votes to submit the
Woman Suffrage question to the people, but the
Senate rejects the Bill. The Republicans have won
Des Moines, lowa, from the Democrats. At the
recent banquet given at St. Paul by the Legislature
of Minnesota to that of Wisconsin, no wine or liquor
was forthcoming. The St. Louis authorities are
making a raid on the lottery ticket dealers. One
has been fined $l,OOO. There is not a hostile In
dian in Sheridan’s department of the Plains. There
is one Democrat in each branch of the. Arkansas
Legislature. Tennessee is to own the Hermitage.
On the Pacific Slope women school teachers mar
ry so fast that San Francisco cannot keep their
places filled. Oregon has twenty one quartz-mills
employe! in mining operations. The dead-lock
continues in the Legislature. The Republicans
have resigned ; the Democrats do not form a quo
rum ; the Governor will issue no warrants to fill
vacaneies. . > -
FOREIGN.
In England Gladstone’s Irish Church Bill, offered
and resd March Ist, is a very complicated affair,
providing for the preservation of all vested rights,
but setting apart half the property of the Estab
lißhment to be used for the benefit of the Irish peo
ple. A Royal Commission to carry out the pro
gramme is to exist for ten years. Appointments
to church benefices are to be made without invest
ment Jin the temporalities, and no money is to be
used lor permanent purposes. New organizations
of the Church for her work are to be recognized by
the Queen, but not created. Private endowments
remain intact. Twelve cathedrals are to be pre
served by national appropriations as national prop
erly. Church buildings not needed by the disestab
lished Church are to be devoted to secular uses.
Instead of the Regium Donum and yearly grants to
Maynooth, an endowment is to be given to May
nooth and Magee College. The Bill is to be dis
cussed March 16tli. The Regium Donum and the
Maynooth grants are to be gradually abolished.
The bill is doubtfully and sparingly criticized, the
main objection being the multitude of its provisions.
The Government will not attempt to introduce an
Ocean penny-postage until the present contracts,
with steamers shall have expired. Mr. Goschen,
President of the Poor Law Board, nrges Parliament
to repeal all restrictions on emigration. The county
funds hereafter are to be apportioned hereafter by
elective Financial Boards, and a new and simpler
Bankriiptcy Bill is to be introduced, as also a Bill
oh Scottish Education. The Irish Tenant Right Bill
is postponed till next session. The Women’s Suf
frage Movement continues. The storms of Febru
ary severed all the cables between England and the
Continent. Government pays $1,900,000 to the
annual expenses of the 150,000 volunteers. The
army and navy coast guard branches of her Ma
jesty’s service are to be cut down, and about 1.4 000
persons mustered out. The population of the British
Isles increases 200,000 yearly, although as many as
the population of Mass, come to America yearly,
England imports only five per cent, of 'her fresh
meat. Negotiations for the exchange of the colony
of Sierra Leone for the French colony of Great
Bassan are.in progress.
In Ireland the Conservative wing of the Orange
party are organizing for a great agitation to unite
Irish Protestants in opposition to the Irish Church
Bill. The Bishops are about to hold a convention
to devise the measures of the future.
In France bad feeling towards Prussia seems to
increase. The journals declare that peace can only
be preserved by Bismarck's giving pledges for the
observance of the Treaty of Prague. 'I he passage
ot the law by the Belgian Chambers to prevent the
transfer of R. R. franchises and privileges to for
eigners is excitedly set down to Prussian instiga
tion, as it, greatly interferes with the projected ex
tension of great French lines. Yet Belgium is said
to profeES a desire for a closer alliance to France.
King George of Hanover tried to avail himself of
the war fever to raise a “ Hanoverian Leg’on ’’ in
Paris, hut the Emperor stopped him. In the event
of war, Luxemburg will be as valuable as ever as a
strategic point, for the city spends only 30s. per
week in carrying out the orders of the Paris Con
ference .to demolish the fortifications. The Peuple
(semi annual official) asserts that the people of
Belgium earnestly desire annexation to France.
Minister Dix denies having interfered in European
politics. Napoleon has ordered life-size portraits of
Johnson and Grant for Versailles. The Imperial
Academy have elected Dr. Livingstone to fill the
place vacant by the death of Dallas Bache. Roche
fert is to be a candidate to represent Paris in the
next Corps Legislatif. The agricultural population
has diminished six per cent, in twenty y<ar<.
In Germany Bismarck defends the confiscation of
King George'B estates on the ground that he was
using their revenue to embitter France against
Prussia. King George lias formally protested
against the measure and asks (and seems likely to
get) permission for the members of l’is Guelph Le
gion to enter the Austrian service. King William’s
Thronrede at the opening of the ninth German Par
liament was pacific and hopeful, but closed by
“showing teeth." Mr. Bancroft gave a great ban
quet, March 4th, at which Bismarck expressed his
gratification that Germany and theU. S. had never
quarrelled. Die Ereuz-Zeilung (official) charges
France with intriguing for the absorption of Bel
gium. The French Ambassador at Vienna, has
opened negotiations for the transfer of the Tyrol to
Italy. In the German Universities there are 550
American students.
In Spain the Cortes are at work on the new Con
stitution. A Republican organ, La Reforma, urges
the recognition of Cuban independence, or compro
mise rather than continue a ruinous war. Don
Carlos is raising money to begin a guerrilla war
next Spring, and his emissaries are working on the
religious prejudices of the peasantry. Seven of his
underlings and a quantity of military stores and
papers have been seized in Arragon. Spain owes
$2,125,000,000 and pays $168,750,000 yearly in in
terest. The monopolies of salt and tobacco are un
der discussion. The detection of recent conspira
cies charged upon the Republicans,, has postponed
an amnesty proclamation. The King of Portugal
consents to be a candidate for the throne of Spain
if his father Ferdinand .willresume that of Portugal.
Isabella proclaims all that has been done since'she
left it, to be null and void, and refuses to abdicate
in favor of her, son.
In 0,4 a, besides many minor encounters, the
Spainards claim that Gen.' Lesea has won on the
Sierrade Capitas the greatest, battle of the .war.
He estimates the loss of the rebels at 1,000, and re
p irts \fiem thoroughly demoralized. ■ Rebel': priso
ners are to be transported to Fernando Po, on the
coast of Africa.' One'rebel leader hasbeen caught
and is to be executed. The clergy offer Dulce one
sixth of their income to carry on the war. Nassau,
N. P., is a main depot for the insurgents.
In Denmark the Heir-Apparent is to marry the
Princess of Sweden, which may end in a union of
all Scandinavia under one crown.
In Turkey peace with Persia seems to have been
secured by the removal from the Cabinet of Namuk
Pasha and Djebil Bey who while in power at Bag
dad had made themselves especially odious to Per
sians.
In Afganislan Cabool is the scene of a civil war
over a disputed succession, and the Afghans are re
suming war wilh the British.
In South America leading Bogotan journals op
pose the Darien Canal treaty and it will probably
be rejected. Lopez has an army and is fortifying
the interior of Paraguay. The dissensions of the
Allies hafve driven some of tbeir ablest generals
from command.
PRESIDENT GRANT'S IN'AIGCJUL.
Citizens of the United States:
Your suffrages having elevated me to the office of
President of the United States, I have, in conformi
ty with the Constitution of our country, taken the
oath of office prescribed therein. I have taken this
oath without mental reservation, and with the de
termination to do, to the best of my ability, all that
it requires of me. The responsibilities of the po
sition I feel, but accept them without fear.
The office has come to me unsought. I com
mence its duties untrammeled. I bring to it a con
scientious desire and determination to fill it, to the
best of my ability, to the satisfaction of the people.
On all the leading questions agitating the public
mind.l will always express my views to Congress,
and urge them according to my judgment, aad when
I think it desirable will exercise the constitutional
privilege of interposing a veto to defeat the meas
ures which I oppose; but all laws will be faithfully
executed, whether they meet my approval or not.
I shall, on all subjects, have a policy to recommend,
but none to enforce against the will of the people.
Laws are to govern all alike, those opposed to as
well as those who favor them. I know no method
to secure tlierepeal of bad or obnoxious laws so ef
fective as their stringent execution. The country
having just emerged from a great rebellion, many
questions will come before it for settlement in the
next four years which preceding administrations
have never had to deal with.
In meeting these it lA desirable that they should
be approached calmly, without prejudice, hate, or
sectional pride, rememberyig that the greatest good
to the greatest number is the object to be attained.
This requires security of person and property, and
free religious, and political opinions- in every part
of our common country, without regard to local
prejudice, and all laws to secure these ends will re
ceive my best efforts for enforcement.
A great debt has been contracted in securing to us
and our posterity the Union. The payment of this,
principal and interest, as well as the return to a
specie basis as soon as it can be accomplished,
without material detriment to the debtor class or
the country at large, must be provided for.
To protect the national honor, every dollar of Go
vernment indebtedness should be paid in gold, un
lessotherwise expressly stipulated in the contract.
Let it be understood that no repudiator of one
farthing of our public debt will be trusted in public
places, and it will go far toward strengthening a
credit which ought to be the best in the world, and
it will ultimately enable us to replace the debt with
bonds bearing less interest than we now pay.
To this should be added a faithful collection of
the revenue, a strict accountability to the Treasury
for every dollar collected, and the greatest practica
ble retrenchment in the expenditures in every de
partment of the Government. When we compare
the paying capacity of the country now, with the
ten States still in poverty from the effects of war,
but soon to eme?ge, I trust, into greater prosperity
than ever before, with its paying capacity twenty
five years ago, and calculate what it probably will
be tweaty-five years hence, who can doubt the feasi
bility of paying every dollar with more ease than
we now pay for uselet-s luxuries 7 Why, it looks as
though Providence bad besiowed upon us a strong
box, the precious metals locked up in sterile moun
tains of the Far West, which we are now forging
the key fo unlock, to meet the very contingency
that is nOw upon us. Ultimately it may be neces
sary to increase the facilities to reach these riches,
a id it may be necessary, also, that the General Go
vernment should give its aid to secure this access,
but this should only be when a dollar of obligation
to pay secures precisely the same sort of dollar to
use now, and not before.
Whilst \he question of specie payments is in
abeyance, the prudent business man is careful about
contracting debts payable in the distant future. The
nation should follow the same rule. A prostrate
commerce is to be rebuilt, and all industries encour
aged. The. young men ot the country —those who
from their age must be its rulers twenty-five years
hence—have peculiar interest in maintaining the
national honor.
A moment’s reflection upon what will be our com
manding influence among the nations of the earth
in their day, it they are only true to themselves,
should inspire them with national pride. All di
visions, geographical, political, and religious, can
join i i the common sentiment.
How the public debt is to be paid or specie pay
ment resumed, is not so important as that a plan
should be adopted and adhered to. A united de
termination to do is worth more than divided coun
sels upon the method of doing.
Legislation upon this subject may not be neces
sary now, nor even advisable, but it will be when
the civil law is more fully restored in all parts of
the country,and trade resumes its wonted channels.
It will be my endeavor to administer the laws in
good faith, to collect tbe revenues assessed, and to
have them properly, accounted tor, and economical
ly disbursed. ;
I will, to the best' of ray ability, appoint to office
those only who wilh carry out this design.
In regard to foreign policy, I would deal with na
tions as equitable law requires individuals to deal
with each other, and I would protect the law
abiding citizen, whether of native or foreign birth,
wherever his rights are jeopardized or the flag of
our country floats.
I would respect the rights of all nations, demand
ing equal respect for our own. If others depart
from this rule in their dealings with us, we may be
compelled to follow their precedent.
The proper treatment of the original occupants of
this land, the Indians, is a subject deserving of
careful study,. I will favor any course towards
them which tends to their civilization, Christianiza
tion, and ultimate citizenship.
The question of suffrage is one which is likely to
agitate the public so long as a portion of the citi
zens of the nation are excluded from its privileges
in any State. It seems to me very desirable that
this question should be settled now, and I entertain
the hope and express the desire that it may be by
the ratification of the fifteenth article of the amend
ments to the Constitution.
In conclusion, I ask patient forbearance one to
wards another throughout the land, and a deter
mined effort on the part of every citizen to do his
share towards cementing a happy Union, and I
ask the prayers of the nation to Almighty God in
behalf ot this consummation.
