may not come before our present Leg

DEMOCRATIC EXTRAVAGANCE. — WhiIe
much has been said by Republican
journals about the -alleged extrava
gance of Republican members of the
Souse in:regard ,to the pasting and
folding business, wo have not seen one
Democratic journal denounce the prop
osition introduced by Mr. McMillen, a
Democrat, to increase the pay of mem
bers from' $lOOO to $1500; but which
was voted down by a vote of 28 for to
60 against. 17 Democrats and 11 Re
publicans were in favor, and 45 Re
publicans and 15 Democrats wore
against the extra take. This vote
shows the Detnoeratie idea of econo

jority they would have followed the
exampie of theit , brother Democrats in
Ohio, who voted themselves so much
per day and prolonged the session.

intelligence of the sudden but decided
demise of the Charleston (S.C.) Mercury,
the stiffest, stoutest, sturdiest, and
most exquisitely unreasonable of all

a "long farewell," of his own, avows
that "whatever may have been the de

Canal Enlargement.
A contract has recently been enter
ed into, between the connecting Canal-
Companies of the Susquehanna, for the
enlargement and deepening of all parts
of the said Canals, v whieh together form
the line between Wilkes Barre and
Havre de Grace, and between Dun
can's Island and Hnistingdon, so that
boats drawing 5 1 1 feet of water, can
freely pass between all of the said pla
owl, carrying from 150 to 300 tons each
according as they are single, or section
al boats. From Havre do Grace up
to Duncau's Island, the largo sectis in
boats can now be used, as all the leeks
up to this point have, or P.bett will be,
doubled in length. it is to be hoped
that the Pennsyhmuia Canal Company,
in the improvement of the Juniata Di
vision of their canal, (from Dunean's
Island to Huntingdon) will abandon
the old canal location and make the
Juniata itself a dad water navigation.
It is believed that to do this will cost
less than to enlarge the old State Canal,
and the advantages in thus utilizing
the whole river, for purposes of navi
gation, are so numerous, and groat, in
comparison with the simple enlarge
ment of the prism of the old Canal,
that we think when they, come to be
duly estimated, the Company will cer
tainly decide to execute the slack wa
ter project, and thus exceed the re
quirements of their contract, for the
advancement of their own interests, as
well as those of the public.
The area within a circle of sixty
miles around Harrisburg, is destined
to be the seat of the great iron manu
facturing business of this State, and
probably of this country. All the ar
ticles that will be required in this im•
manse business, such as coal, iron ore,
limestone, brick, sand, stone, metals
and lumber, aro articles requiring cheap
transportation, such as can only be fur
nished by water lines.
As most of these Canals are now
owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company—and as the capacity of that
road will soon be taxed to its utmost,
in carrying the immense tonnage there
will be to be moved between the West
and the Seaboard, which will also bo
of vastly more profitable character
than the heavy bulky commodities
such as we have described, and which
now, even, cumber the road in their
transportation, and it is said too, aro
carried without any profit to the Rail
road Company. By turning this part
of the business off of the road on to
the canal, it will vitalize the canal in
terest, and make it an exceedingly
profitable ono to the railroad company,
as well as a benefit to the public, by
the diminished cost in the transporta
tion of the articles named, thus help
ing to build up the great manufactur
ing business, within the circle described.
Another great advantage to the Penn
sylvania Railroad will bo the freedom
to occupy the ground, for additional
tracks and sidings, now taken up by
the canal ; the canal and railroad as at
present impinge so much on each
other at many places, as to leave no
room or space for more than one
track for the road. But that which
will interest many of our readers the
most in connection with the above de
scribed enterprise is, on its completion,
Huntingdon will become the great
shipping point of most of the coal
which now simply passes through our
town from the Broad 'rep, and other
great bituminous coal fields, farther
I west. The re-shipment and handling of
this coal at Huntingdon will give em
ployment to a largo number of people,
and cause our river trout to assume a
busy appearance, in the unloading of
the thousands of care, and the loading
of the hundreds of beats which will bo
constantly arriving and departing, in
the business of bringing and taking
away this coal. The citizens of this
place therefore have a great interest in
the earliest consummation of this im
portant enterprise. Huntingdon as
the depot for the re-shipment of the
already large, and constantly increas
ing bituminous coal traffic, will at once
become a place of importance. Capital
will find many ways of profitable in
vestment in our imidst—and a start
will bo given to our place, which is
only needed toineure its future growth
and prosperity.
M - The Forty-drat Congress, just
convened, bee sixty-six Senators, of
wham 56 are Republicans and 10 De
moprats. - This is exclusive of the
Senators from Georgia, riot yet admit
ted, who will count ono more on each
Bide. The House has two hundred
and twenty-eight members, including
delegates from the territories, of Ari
zona, Colorado, Dakota and Wyorhing,
Idaho; Montanh, New Mexico, Utah,
and Washington. Of the whole num
ber,ls2, are Republicans and 76 Dem
ocrats; thus securing a .I . tepublican
majority precisely equal to the Demo
cratie vote. These figures may be
slightly changed, as .New Hampshire
elects a new representation this week,
Connecticut next month. Georgia has
not yet elected for this Congress, and
Florida and Alabama are in the same
condition. Then Mississippi, Virginia
and Texas are still unreconstructed,
and May have their representatives
under an early reconstruction. As the
Matter stands, the Republicans have
76 majority in the House and 46 in the
Senate, a Republican President, Vice
President and Cabinet. The Govern
ment is once more entirely in Republi
can hands. •It becomes those entrus
ted with power to use it wisely and
well, so that the popular support of
this great and progressive party may
be continued in the future as in the
past until the work of reconstruction
is thoroughly accomplished.
General Grant's Cabinet.
On Friday the sth, President Grant
sont in the following nominations to
the Senate for positions in his Cabinet,
which were immediately confirmed;
Secretary of State—Blihn B. \V ash
burne, of Illinois.
Secretary of Navy—A delpb B. Bode,
of Pennsylvania.
Secretary of Treasury—.A. T. Stew
art, of Now York,
Secretary of Interior—J. D. Cox, of
Ohio.
Postmaster General—J. A. J. Cros
well, oflifiryland.
Aliorney General—Goo. E. Roar, of
;vises.
No nomination made for Secretary
of War.—Gen. John M. Schofield con
tinued.
The above are said to be all sound
Republicans. Washburnp, the Seer°.
tarp of State, is Gen. Grant's especial
friend. It was through his influence
that Grant got his first position in the
army. Adolph B. Boric, is a retired
merchant of Philadelphia, is the first
Vice President and was last year the
acting President of tho Union League
of that city. A. T. Stewart is the
noted merchant prince of New York,
who was amoug the first, a year ago
to urge the nomination of Grant by
the people irrespective of party. J.
D. Cox was a Brigadier General dur
ing the war, and was elected Gover
nor of Ohio by 30,000 majority in '66.
Mr. Creswell is a loyal Marylander,
was a Republican U. S. Senator from
1861 to 1867. Geo. E. Hoar of Dias•
sachusetts, is said to be the well known
Judge who was imprisoned in Charles
ton, S. C., whither be was dispatched
several years before the war to plead
the cause of a colored citizen of Mas
sachusetts who was held ae a slave.
Some of the appointments took the
"politicians" by surprise.
♦N OVERLOOKED STATUTE
It is currently reported this even•
ing that Mr. Stewart, of New York,
is ineligible to the office of Secretary
of Treasury, on account of an old stat•
ute, which is still in force, and which
seems to have been entirely overlook
ed. It caused considerable uneasiness,
and at 11 o'clock r. tu., there was a
consultation among President Grant's
Cabinet as to what is to be done in
this mattter. A proposition is being
considered to have this law repealed,
and a bill will be at once introduced
in the Senate to have this act so modi
fied as to allow Mr. Stewart to accept
and hold the Treasury Department.—
The act is as follows, and was ap
proved September 2, 1759
An Act to Establish the Treasury Depart
ment:
Section 8. Be it enacted, dec., That no
person appointed to any office instituted by
this net shall, directly or indirectly, be eon
corned or interested in carrying on the busi
ness of trade or commerce, or be owner, in
whole or in part, of any sea vessels, or pur
chase by himself or another in trust for him,
any public lands or other public property,
or be concerned in the purchase or disposal
of any public securities, of any State or of
the United States, or take or apply to hie
own use any emolument or gain for negotiat.
ingany business in the said department, other
than that which shall be applied by law ; and
if any person shall offend against any of the
provisione of this net, ha shall be deemed
guilty of a high misdemeanor, and forfeit the
United States three thousand dollars, and
shall, upon conviction, be removed from of
fine, and be forever thereafter incapable of
holding any office under the United States,
tte,
It is not unlikely that Mr. Stewart
will decline the office, as ho cannot
wind up his business in time to accept
it in accordance with this law. In the
oath of office, now taken..by the treas
ury officials, is a clause that they have
no interest, dirootly or indirectly, in
any importations, &c., in accordance
with the provisions of this statute; so
that Mr. Stewart cannot take the oath
if this law is appealed to him. Chief
Justice Chase has been asked for his
opinion upon this question. •
P. S.—We have the news this Tues
day morning. that Mr. Stewart and
Mr. Hoar have declined, and that Mr.
Boutwell of •Massachusetts and Mr
Tromaine of Nesv York, have been np.
pointed to fiil ihe -vacancies.
Inauguration of President Grant.
WASHINGTON, March 4, 1869.
,The day dawned with rain, but the
route along which the precession had
to pass was soon thronged with•people.
The first appearance of troops at head
quarters was Coinpany IC, Fifth'l3. S.
Cavalry.
General Grant arrived shortly after
wards, when the following cable die
patch was placed in his hands:
"March 4th, 1869.—T0 President
Grant, Washington: In honor of the
man and the day, throe cheers for the
President. Members of the Berlin
Exchange Fxurz MAYER."
In the meantime the troops and
military organizations began forming,
and the crowds of spectators upon the
streets grew more dense. At precise
ly eleven the Marshals entered head
quarters. The troops were every
where stationed at their proper posts.
General Grant, calm and composed as
ever in his life, came from his office and
entered his phmton, accompanied by
General' "Rawlings. Vice President
Colfiik'eaine next and entered the next
carriage, accompanied by Admiral
Bailey. Next same the members of
the staff of the General, who entered
carriages with the committees of Con
gress and of the different organizations
present. As the preceSsion started a
band struck up "flail to the Chief."._
Regular and other troops were drawn
up along the square, and came to a
present arms" as the carriage Con
taining the President elect, with his
head uncovered, drove slowly .along,.
while immense cheers rent the air on
every side.
There were eight grand divisions in
line. Among tba prominent objects of
attraction was a miniature ship, fully
rigged and manned, and a printing
press in operation.
The head of the parade having at
tained the Capitol, the President elect
entered to take the oath and deliver
his inaugural address. The throng of
human beings in front exceeded any
thing of the kind ever before witnessed
here, The procession was about ono
hour in passing a given point.
On reaching the platform the Presi-
ILlint elect t`Z?ok the seat provided for
him arreystly front of the center,
Irmo President Colfax and the Ser
gea.bt:at-Arrns, in charge- of the cere
'zno'ates, sitting on his right, and the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on
the left. The Senate committee of
arrangements were near at hand, and
next in the rear. The A.ssociate Jus
tices of the Supreme Court occupied
seats on-the left, and the members'and
Secretary of the Senate on the right.
The rain had ceased, and though the
atmosphere was damp and heavy, the
weather seemed to have no chilling ef
fect upon the general enthusiasm
The grounds opposite and the streets
adjoining were packed with human be ,
inns. Near General Grant, and a lit
tle behind him, sat Mrs. Grant, accom
panied by her sister, Mrs. Sharp, and
Mrs. Casey, her • sister in law, Mrs.
Gen. Dent and her children, Jennie
and Nellie, and Master Fred and U. S,
Jr.
The shouts and bursts of music from
a dozen bands subsided as the Presi
dent elect and Chief Justice of the Uni
ted States rose simultaneously, and
the latter commenced in clear and sol
emn tones to recite the formula of the
Presidential oath of office, which Gen
eral Grant reverentially took. The
boom of cannon and shouts of the vast
multitude burst forth.
Partial quiet having been restored,
the President rose and proceeded to
read from manuscript his inaugural
address, (which will be found in an
other column.) His voice was not
audible except to persons on or near
the front of the platform, but at every
pause the satisfaction manifested by
those who were near at band was re-
Speeded to by- cheers and shouts from
the crowd more distant, and some of
the points of the address were quietly
circulated from mouth to month and
made the occasion for applause, even
some time after their utterance.
During the delivery of the address,
little Nellie Grant was lifted over the
shoulders of the intermediate specta
tors, and reached the side of her fath
er, where she stood some time unseen
and unneiiced by him. but so smiling
and happy and.brightly innocent that
her preeenee seemed to tend a gleam
of sunshine to the scene, and the inci
dent called forth many expressions of
pleasure and admiration.
- At the conclusion of the address, the
President was warmly congratulated
by his friends, and soon aftiirwards left
in his carriage for the White house.
The procession re-formed, and took up
the line of march in the same direc
tion, and the Senate having returned
to the chamber, the crowd dispersed,
and the inauguration ceremonies wore
brought to a conclusion.
Most of the Senators having return
ed to the chamber, the session was re
sumed at 12:45 P. M , and five minutes
afterwards, on motion of Mr. Trum
bull, the Senate adjourned until twelve
o'clock to-morrow.
President Grant reached the White
House after his inauguration about 2
P. M. 40 was met at the door by
Gen. Schofield, Secretary of War, who
had been' loft by Mr. Johnson in charge
of the executive office. The latter left
the White House at twelve o'clock with
the members of his Cabinet except Gen.
Schofield. ,Vies President Colfax also
accompanied President Grant to the
White House. The members ,of the
staff of Gon. Grant wet•e all present.
An immense multitude congregated
outside the gates of the Executive
Mansion, in the belief that there would
be a general reception, but the Presi
dent decided not to have ono this af
ternoon.
Inaugural Address of President Gran
Citizens of the United States : Your
suffrage having elevated me to the of
fice of President of the United States,
I have in eonformity with the Consti
tution of our country, taken the oath
of office presented therein. I have
taken this oath without mental reser•
vation, and with the determination to
do, to the best °lnv ability, all that
is required of 'me. The responsibilities
of the position I feel, but I accept
them without fear. Tho office bas
come to me unsought. 1 commence
its duties untrammeled. I bring to it
a conscientious determination to fill it
to the best of my ability to the satis
faction of the people. On all leading
questions agitating the public mind, I
will always express my views to Con
gress and urge them according to' my
judgment, and, when I think it desir
able, will exorcise the Constitutional
privilege of interposing a veto to de
feat measures which f oppose; but all
laws will be faithfully executed, wheth
er they meet 'my approval or not. I
shall on all subjects have a policy to
recommend, 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 the repeal of
bad or obnoxious laws so effective us
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 Preeedinrr,
administrations have never had to deal
with. In mooting these it is desirable
that they ANN be approached calm
ly, without prejudice, hate or section.
al pride. Remembering tbat'the great
est good to the greatest number is the
object to be attained, this requires se
curity of person, property and free re
ligious and political opinion in , every
part of our common country, without
regard to local prejudice. Laws to
secure these will receive my best ef
forts for their enforcement.
A great debt has been contracted
in securing us and our posterity the
Union. The payment of this, princi
pal and interest, as well as the return
to a specie basis, as soon as it can be
accomplished without material detri
ment to the debtor class or to the
country at large, must be provided for.
To protect the national honor every
dollar of government indebtedness
should•be paid in gold, unless other
wise expressly stipulated in the eon=
tract. Lot it be understood that no
repudiator of one furthinr , of our pub
lic debt will be tolerated in public
place, and it will go far towards
strengthening a credit which ought to
be the best in the world, and will ulti
mately enable us to replace the debt
with bonds bearing less interest than
we now pay. To this should be added
a full and faithful collection of l•eve
nue, a strict accountability Co the
Treasury for every dollar collected,
and the greatest practicable retrench•
moot in expenditure in every depart
ment of the Government. When we
compare the paying capacity of the
country now, with ten States still in
poverty from effects of war, but soon
to emerge, I trust to greater prosperi
ty than ever before, with the paying
capacity of twenty-five years ago, and
calculate what it probably will ho 25
years hence, who can doubt the feasi
bility of paying every dollar then with
more ease than we now pay for use
less luxuries. Why, it looks as though
Providence had bestowed upon us a
strong box—the precious metals lock
ed up in the sterile mountains of the
far West, which we are now forging
the key to unlock to meet the very
contingency that is now upon us. -Ul
timately it may be necessary to in
crease the facilities to reach these
riches, and it may be necessary also
that the general Governinent should
give its aid to secure this success; but
that should only be when a dollar of
obligation to pay secures precisely the
same sort of dollar to use now, and
not before. Whilst the question of
specie payments is in abeyance, the
prudent business man is careful about
contracting debts payable in the dis
tant future. Tho nation should fol
low the same rule. A prostrate com
merce is to be rebuilt and all the indus
tries encouraged. The young men of
the country, those who from their age
must be it's rulers twenty - ;five years
hence, have a peculiar interest in
maintaining tho national honor. A
moment's reflection as to what will be
our commanding influence among the
nations of the earth in their day, if
they are only true to themselves,
should inspire them with national
pride. All divisions, geographical,
political and religious, can join in this
common sentiment.
Row the public debt is to be paid,
or specie payments resumed, is not so
important as that a plan should be
adopted and acquiesced in. A united
determination to do is worth more
than divided councils upon the method
of doing. Legislation upon this sub
ject may not be necessary now, or
even advisable, but it will be when
the civil law is more fully restored in
all parts of the country, and trade re
sumes its wonted channels.
It will be my endeavor to execute
all laws in good faith, to collect all
revenues assessed, and to hare thorn
properly accounted toe and economic
ally disbursed. I will to the best of
my ability appoint to (Alice those only
who will carry out this design.
In regard to our foreign policy, I
would deal with all nations as equita
bly as the law requires individuals
would to deal with each other, and I
protect the law-abiding citizen wheth•
er of native or of foreign birth, wher
ever his rights aro jeopardized or the
flag of our country floats. I would
respect the equal rights of al! nations,
demanding 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 origin
al occupants of this land, the Indian,
is ono deserving careful study. I will
favor any course towards them which
tends to their civilization Christianiza
tion and ultimate citizeimbip.
The question of suffrage is one
which is likely to agitate the public
so long as a portion of the citizens of
the nation are exoluded from its privi
leges in any State. It seems to me
very desirable, that this question
should be settled now. I entertain the
hope and express the desire that it
may be, by the ratification of the 15th
article in amendment 9f Constitution.
In conclusion, I ask patient forbear
ance one towards another throughout
the land, and a determined 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 towards this
consummation.
