On Monday evening President Clove' land and parly drove quietly to a sta tion about three miles from Albany, whero a special train awaited them, and started for Washington, which piaco tney reached on Tuesday morn' tag at 6:30 o'clock. The party con stated of Mr. Cleveland, his brother and sistor, his niece Miss llastinea, Col. Lamont and family, and Daniel Manning and wile. Tho train con sisted of an engino, baggage car, sleeper and hotel car. The railroad company tendered the free use of tho train, but tho 1'rcsident-elect rejeotcd the offer, and insisted on paying for it On their arrival at Washincton through somo misunderstanding the committee was not at the depot to meet tno President's party, but after a little delay carriages were obtained and the party was driven to the Arlington ho tel wnero elegant quarters were prepar ed for them. Mr. Cleveland received daring the day and in tho afternoon be called on President Arthur at the White House, where he was shown through every room. An hour was spent in pleasant conversation and then Mr. Cleveland returned to tho Arling ton. Tho sub-committee appointed by the inauguration tieneral Keception Uom mittee to welcome the President-elect to Washington called on him by ap- uviutuicub at t u uii'UK linn uiieruuuti. Their Chairman, Richard T. Merrick, after introducing his fellow members, expressed tho welcome in a few well cho sen words, and Gov. Cleveland felici touslr returned his acknowledgments. Informal conversation ensued for some little time, and the committee then In dividually took their leave. Washington was never before so crowded. About 15,000 people went from Philadelphia alone, tbo Stato Militia numbered 7500, and this was only from one btate. Crowds kept pouring in on every train until tho inrong was immense. Jbrom every Stato and Territory, from every city and hamlet, still they came and when the procession was formed on Penn sylvania Avenue no such scene was ever before witnessed. THE INAUGURATION. Precisely at 12:30 p. ra., on Wednes- uay, me neaa ot tne procession appear ed, coming out of the main east door of the capitol. President Arthur step ped to the front of the platform, fol lowed by tho president-elect, Chief Justice Waite and tho scrgeatit-at arms of the senate. All uncovered as they stood facing the crowd, and tbo vast assemblage cheered again and again for several minutes. The per sons who were to assist at the ceremo nies were seated on the platform in the following order : Chief Justice Waite and Senator Sherman sat witb the president-elect. Tho committee on arrangements oc cupied seats immediately to the right of the president-elect, ox-presidents and ox-vico-presidenU and associate justices ux iue supreme court. The vico-presideut, secretary and members of the senate occupied seats imiucr uu uiu nguc. Tbo diplomatic corps occupied seats on the left of the president and the beads of the departments. The retired general of the army, the lieutenant- general oi tne army, tho admiral of the navy, and tho officers of tho army and navy who had by namo received the thanks of Congress, governors and ox- governors of states and ex-members of tho senate, took their seats just bohind the president At 12:40 p. m., the presidentelect arose and began delivering his inaugu ral address which was short and occu pied only about 15 minutes in delivery. At its close Mr. Cleveland turned to the oliief justice and bowing to him aid : "I am now prepared to take the osth prescribed by law." As tho chief justice roso to adrninis ter the oath the vast assemblage oheer ed again. Tn presidentelect stood facing the chief jus lice, with the crowd on his right. Chief Cleik McKennoy, of tho supreme court, stood just to the side of Mr. Cleveland and held tho Bible- upon which the oath was admin istered, the president-elect also holding it with his right hand. Tho Bible used is a small morocco-covered, gilt-edge volume, pretty well worn. It is the Bible which Mr. Cleveland's mother gave him when ho left home as a young man, and at his special request the committeo of arrangements had it in readiness for the ceremony. The crowd preserved perfect quiet as tho impres eive ceremony of administering tho oath was taking place, but when it was concluded, and after President Cleve land laid down the Bible after rever ently kissing ir, and shook hands with the chief justice, who was the iirst to congratulate him, tho cheering was Jong and loud.

Cleveland on Silver Coinage. A number of Congressmen favoring a continuation of the coinago of silver, recently wroto a letter to President Cleveland urging him to refrain from committing himself on the subject. Tho following is his renlv : "To the Hon. A. J. Warner and others, members of the Forty-eighth congress. "Gentlemen : The letter which I have had tho honor to receivo from you invites, and, indeed obliges me to give expression to somo grave public necessities, although in advance of the moment when they would become tho objects of my official care and partial responsibility. Your solicitude that my judgment shall havo been carefully and deliberately formed is entirely just and 1 accept tho suggestion in tho same friendly spirit in which it has been made. It is also fully justified, by tho nature of tho financial crisis which, un der tho operation of the act of Con gress of Feb. 28, 1878, is now closo at hand. By a compliance with tho ro quirements of that law all the vaults of tho Federal Treasury have been and are heaped full of silver coins which are now worth less than 85 per ceut. of the gold dollar prescribed as "the unit of value'' in section 14 of tho act of Feb. 12, 1873, and which, with tho sil ver certificates representing such coin, aro receivable for all public dues. Bo ing thus receivable, whilo also con stantly increasing in quantity at tho rato of" $28,000,000 a year, it has followed. of necessity, that the flow of gold into the treasury has been steadily diminish ed. Silver and Bilver certificates havo displaced and are now displacing gold, and the sum of gold in the Federal Treasury now available for the pay ment of tbu gold obligations of the United States and for the redemption of the United States notes called "greenbacks," if not already encroach ed upon, is perilously near such en croachment. These are facts which, as they do not admit of difforonco of opinion, call for no argument. Thoy have been forewarned to us in tho offi cial reports of every Secretary of tho Treasury from 1878 till now. They are plainly affirmed in tho last Decem ber report of tho present Secretary of tho Treasury to the Sneaker of tho present House of Representatives. They appear in the official documents of this Congress, and in tho records of the New York Clearing-IIouse, of which tho Treasury is a member, and through which .the bulk of tho receipts and payments of the Federal Govern ment and of the country pass. These being the facts of our present condition, our danger and our duty to avert mai uanger would seem to Do plain. I hope that you concur witb me and with tho great majority of our fellow-citizens in deeming it most de sirable at tho present juncture to main tain and continue in use tho moss of our gold coin as well as tho mass of silver already coined. This is possiblo by a present suspension of tho purchase and coinage of silver. I am not aware that by any other method it is possible. It is of momentous importance to prevent the two metals from parting company; to prevent tho increasing displacement of gold by the increasing coinage of silver; to prevent tho disuse of gold in the custom houses of tho United States iu tho daily business of tho peoplo ; t'i revent the ultimate expulsion of gold y silver. Such a fiuanoial crisis as these events would certainly precipi tate wero it now to follow upon a per iod of commercial depression, would involvo the people of every city and every Stato in the Union iu a prolong ed and disastious trouble. Tho revi val of business enterprise and prosper ity so ardently desired and apparently ho new would be hopelessly postponed. Gold would bo withdrawn to its hoard ing places ami An unprtccdented con traction in tho actual volutin) of our currency would speedily take place. Saddest of all, in every workshop, mill, factory, store and on every railroad and farm, tho wages of labor, already do- THE COLUMBIAN AND Dressed, would Riiffrir still fiii-limr ,1n prcwion by a Healing down of the titir chining power 6f ovory so-called dollar paid into tho hand of toil. From theso impending calamities it is surely n most patrlotio and grateful duty of the ren- resciitativcs of tho people to deliver thorn. I am, gentlemen, with sincere respect, your iciinw-cilizen.

Old men may be seen nmong thm, those who havo not been in Washitigion since the inaugural cor omonies of tho last Democratic l'res ident, and who look with admiration at the improvements that luivo taken plaeo Binco then, and at tho cxtcnsivu preparations that aro going on. Tho streets, tho hotels, tho shops, and the faces havo a holiday appearance, and ot course, the festivities on tho fourth of March aro tho all absorbing topic. Tho President-elect will arrivo to morrow night, and will be escorted to tho Arlington hotel by an appointed committee. His Hist glimpse of his future home on the mottling ot tho in nugiiratioii will ho pleasant, for, from tho windows of tho Arlington, beyond trees, fountains, and Lafayette patk, an excellent view ot tho White House can bo obtained. At about ten o'clock, Mr. Cleveland will proceed to tho Ex-- ecutivo mansion, accompanied by committeo of Senators where ho will bo introduced to President, and they will go together, in an open carriage, I.. .1... f , . , . .,, in uiu iiiiusi, ui n gr.'iuu uiviu anil mm tary procession, to the Capitol. a oroaa Biami has been erected on tho Eastern front of the Capitol, and there the President elect will tako his oath of office, and tho President will deliver his inaugural address. Only few hundreds will bo nblo to hear his voice, but tens of thousands can see for tho first time a Democratic Presi dent. After tho ceremonies, President Cleveland and ox-President Arthur will quickly proceed to tho Wbito House, and after lunching, will take their places on a covered stand that has been erected in. the grounds of the Presidential mansion, and review the procession. Tho latter will bo five miles in length and cmbraco about twenty-fivo thousand. It will approach tho Presidential stand from different routes Its lino of march will include portions of Pennsylvania avenue, Twcu ty-seeond Btrect; Connecticut, Iihodo Island and Massachusetts avenues, and K street. During tho progress of the procession, i'cnnsylvania avenue will be kept entirely clear from curb to curb, both from vehicles and people, and the police have orders to arrest any one incroaching upon tho street. This will prevent crowding tho lino of inarch and will add greatly to tho ef feet of tho spectacle. If it is a pleasant day, tho pageant will be grand. The bright uniforms of the soldiers, tho martial music, tho thronging crowds, the gay draperies of bunting, red, white and blue, and the numerous decorations will make th panorama one long to be remembered. Tho ball room is at last in readiness for its many distinguished guests. At least ten thousand are expected tot tend, and under tho dazzling elcotrio lights tho scene wilt bo truly brilliant Tho walls are draped with velvet bor dered with gold, elegant silk banners, and patriotic designs. Hugo plato glass mirrors are placed here and there, and flowers will bo everywhere. A mammoth floral chair will be placed at ono end ot the hall for the l'lesiilcnt, and a superbly finished room has been prepared for his temporary use.

No matter how many persons atteud, tho hall will not bo crowded. Tho gallery alone can seat three thousand persons, and five thousand can easily waltz at once in the space allotted tor dancing, and thero will be abundant room for . 1 T. . 1 . . . promenaoers. it is estimated mat six hundred persons can bo served at tho same time in the tiupper rooms. A fire company will bo kept constantly on duty iu the building. Thero is somo talk of opening tho ball room on the fifth ofMaichfora small fee, so that those who felt unable to pay fivo or ten dollars for admisssion to the regular bill, might at least be gratified with a sito of tho decorations, and wander around in the "banquet hall deserted.'' Republican Partisanship. Tho practical defeat of Mr. Randall's proposition to give tho Secretaty of tho Treasury tho power to suspend the coinage of the silver dollar in his dis cretion "cannot of courso bo fairly re garded as tho woik of either party. In the vote Democrats and Republicans were found on both sides. But tho proposition came from tho Democratic side. Tho Republicans could havo secured its anoption if they nan cnosen to do so. i ho volo stood 145 against Mr. Randall's motion and 118 in its favor. Of the 144 Repub- lican members 33 voted against it and i i ran away and dodged tho vote. Wo do not desire to removo tho re sponsibility from tho Democrats who voted against tho proposition. But tho Republicans, Mugwumps and case- hardened, havo proteased intense anx- ety to suspend tho silver coinage, and they aro in harmony in the poor excuse they make for not adopting a method for doing so when tho opportunity of fered. The Mugwump 2 imes asserts that theie wero a ceitaiu number of Repub lican Ropicsentatives who would not consent to leave the Husuonsion "to the discretion of the next Socretary of the Treasury." iho case-hardened Tribune sava that enough Republicans could not be found who would vote "to put (he thing entirely in tho bands of an un triedPresideiit'' and to "trust an abso lutely unknown man with such a pow er. This excuso is ridiculous. If tbo power to suspend had been put into the hands of this "absolutely unknown man," pray how could he havo used it to the public detrimentt If he had refused to exercise tho power, tho coinage would simply have gono on as it will go on now that Mr. Randall's proposition is defeated. If he had exCrcisod tho power he would havo done juK what tho Repub licans who make the excuso profess to desire. The conclusion is inevitable that the Republicans are bettor paitlsars than patriots. Thoy would rather embar rass Mi Cleveland's Administration than do what they believe would be a great good to the country, - World. DEMOCRAT, BLOOM8BDRG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. THE CABINET.

Ingersoll that ho likes to go in a gorgeous barroom and spend an hour or two in sitting by one of the tables, "indulging in a mad doning succession of drinks of Vichy water." He never takes a dron of al cohol in thesu days. There was a lime early in his career when ho did it, but immediately after his marriage ho stopped, and has seldom so much as touched a glass of wine since. Ho seems, however, to havo just as good a time in the barroom as the men who ncompauy him and who quaff tho toaming champagne. In one column of tho Lawrence Itnerican is a paragraph about tho Germans of that city who have been out of work this winter, and in somo of whoso families there is much destitu tion. In another is a letter fiom a young man in the Concord reforma tory plison tn a fiiend, iti which ho says : "this is a hue place.

Tho editor thinks it lucky that virtue is its own reward, or such comp.irison .v might bo made between the poverty of thu in dustrious worker and tho comfort and contentment of the criminal might have a bad moral influence. In one of his speeches, delivered u New York, Mr. Webster said : "It las bo happened that all iho nublic services which I havo rendered in tho world in my day and generation havo been connected with the general Gov ernment. I think I ought to make an exception.

A distillery has lately been put in operation in Charleston, S. C, for man ufacturing oil from pine wood. The material is subjected to intense heat in sealed retorts, and one cord of it is said to yield fifteen gallons of turpen tine, eighty gallons of pine-wood oil, fifty bushels of charcoal, 150 gallonsof wood vinegar, ami a uuantitv of in- flamable gas and vegetable asuhaltttm. Tho oil alone is worth about " twenty five cents a gallon, aud is used by winters and shipbuilders. Apart from its commercial value, the process is in teresting as showing how modern chemistry is ablu to supplant those old destructive chemical prouecses by which a single article was produced from a given material and ail tho rest wasted or ruined. The Dcutli that llieApoHllen Died, Towards the latter end of tho reign of Nero, St. Peter was crucified but with his head downward, affirming that ho was un worthy to suffer in the same posturo In which his Lord had suffered before him. St. Paul was beheaded consequently al- lowed the privilege of a Itoman citizen. St. Andrew suffered martyrdom, ho was first ecourged, and seven lictors success Ively whipped his naked body. St. James the Urcat was beheaded to gether with his Informer, who confessed tho Christian faith and both wero beheaded at the same place. St. John tho Evangelist, died a natural death after being thrown Into a cauldron of boiling oil. But tho Almighty, who re served him for further service In tho vine yard of his son, restrained the heat, as lie did the fiery furaaco of old; ho was trans, ported tc an almost desolate Island In tho Archipelago, called Patmos, and thero wroto tho book of Revelation, St. John con. tlnued to labor In the vineyard of his great master until death put an end to all liU sufferings, which happened In the begin- ing of Trajan's reign, in the ninety-elghlh year of his ago.
