REPUBLICANS, PREPARE FOR THE
SPRING ELECTIONS
If you have not already made your
nominations make them at once—to-night :
or to-morrow night! The League will be
at every election precinct with a full tick-
et. Make your nominations and do not
touch a man of them. They will try the
old deception dodges. They will lie and
swear to their lies to carry their point, but
doi't be deceived. They will try to con
trol every dollar of public funds in the
various districts. and you will Lave the
rascality preticed in Porter repeated in
every district in the county. There is i no
honest man belongs to the League! No
honest man would take an oath to defraud
hit fellow Republicans ; and this is what
every scoundrel has dens who has ever
joined it.
The Thugs have comeout of their holes,
now let the honest people settle their little
business for them ! Get everybody out to
the election ! Honest Democrats are as
much interested in this bueiness as Repub
licans. They have to pay their share of
the plundered taxes. They will give you
a helping hand when you need it. Smite
the scoundrels hip and thigh, and save
your money and your liberty !
Go in ! The Leaguers have come out!
A WORD TO OUTSIDERS,
"There is a hitter personal quarrel now be
ing waged betweea the Republican journals of
Huntingdon, that must be exceedingly agree
able to the leaders of each. Such encounters
are very disgraceful to journalism, and the
community, when they take place, ought to
kick the belligerents beyond its limits."
We clip the above handsome compliment
from the State Journal, for the double
purpose of showing our readers how such
encounters, as we have been compelled to
engage in, for the past few weeks, are re
garded in other communities and to ex
plain our position. We feel keenly this
thrust, and we think we have good cause
to do so, and were it in reference to any
shortcoming of ours, we would hurl it back
with interest. But we wish to explain :
No one has done more, we believe, to
elevate the character of country journalism,
iu this section of Pennsylvania, than the
editor of this paper. He is confident, in
making this statement, thathe will be sus
tained by the senior editor of the Patriot,
who has been his immediate opponent, for
a number of years. We have made it a
point never to attack the private character
of any one, and on the other hand we have
never replied to any attacks upon our pri
vate affairs. Political acts, and the con
duct of officials, in the discharge of their
official duties, we have always regarded as
public property. In holding up to the
public unfaithful officers and base politi
cians, we have sometimes invoked their
malicious defamation in return. The only
answer we have made to such attacks has
been ate effort to live right, to treat all
who approach us as one gentleman should
treat another, and to do our duty tot the
public. Now and then we have been
obliged to do some unpleasant duty. We
did this a few years ago when we dischar
ged, from our board and office, a young stu
dent whose conduct became intolerable.—
In revenge he commenced a malicious pros
ecution against us. If our clients had
been the prosecutors the matter might
have been differently regarded. But they
were not. If we have been guilty of any
thing that is discreditable we are perfectly
satisfied that the community should know
it. We do not seek to hide any public er
private act of our life. We have struggled
and fought the battle of lite, with all the
energy which we have been able to devel
ope, and, though we have made, now and
then, some unfortunate blunders, we have
the satisfaction of knowing they were made
on the side of mercy and charity.
A few words more. We have no "per
sonal quarrel" with the Globe. We ex
pected to treat the new editor courteously
and gentlemanly. We had done so before
his connection with it. But in the first
issue of his paper he threw down the
gauntlet and with it a positive insult. It
was general. We determined to pay no
attention to it. We were informed that
he subsequently apologized to the editor
of the Monitor, by stating that the insult
was net intended for him. Week after
week he assailed our friends and the lead
ers of the Republican party. Senator
Scott was assailed outrageously. ' His
friends felt the force of the outrage : Yet
we did nothing more than publish what
cur neighbors said of these vile attacks.—
We were badgered and bullied on every
street corner. Taunted and rallied by
the sneers Of those who like this kind of
thing, until we hardly knew whither to
turn, yet we kept our peace. At last the
author, dell this vileness and the disturb
er of the community, set:himself up and by
forged substitutions, bad himself elected a
delegate to the State Convention. We
saw in this an effort to reinstate the infa
mous "Peoples' League." Forbearance had
ceased to be a virtue, and we determined
to show the honest people, whom we re
present, the character or the men who, in
sworn conclave, were sapping away their
political and civil liberties; filling their
offices, their placet of trust and their jury
box. We attacked the official and politi
cal character of the editor of the Globe
and his confederates, and in return we
have been slandered without measure. We
care nothing about such trifles, but we
mean to continue to show up, to the best
of our ability, the itifetueus League. Edi
tors who will not take the trouble to in
form themselves is regard to the nature of
the contest ? we would suggest, will do well
to attend to those things which immedi
ately concern them.
is.. Woods calls his League the "Peo
ples' League." It were better Quailed a
"League to Pheat the People !"
THE TRUE ISSUE,
The Globe of last week contains an arti
cle purporting to be editorial, which starts
off by saying :
EDITou
"There is a com'oination of corrupt politi
cians in this county who have been controlling
its politico, its a great measure, for years, fill
ing its offices of profit and trust, and who, du
ring the last fifteen years, have taken from the
public treasury thousands of , tollars. It was
done by giving the public patronage to their
political favorites, making fealty to them the
only road to public favor and by hounding
and persecuting all who would not do their
bidding."
Now, this is a fair description of the
"combination" whose league and covenant
we publish on the fourth page of this pa
per, and had the editor added, tampering
with the jury list, and a regular "combi
nation" with the leaders of the Democratic
party to bribe and carry Republican Con
ventions, the picture would have been
complete. The Globe man, whoever he
is, goes back fifteen years, which is back
of the period when he was spewed forth
from Juniata county and wo were "im
ported from Bedford county," and we will
be excused if we quote some history in
addition to our own personal knowledge.
The article referred to does not deny the ex
istence and purposo of the "League," but
by a perversion of fasts, for which it has
a wonderful capacity, attempts to excuse
its formation. It is the snivelling of a
convicted boy, "somebody else began it!"
It was first the "McMurtrie ring" they
pretended to be fighting, next the "Oriady
ring," and now it is Senator John Scott.—
It may as well be understood at once, how
ever, that the leaders of the League mean
to control the party and its nominations
through their secret organization, and
their alliance with Democrats, and their
malignant attacks on Senator Scott. and
others, is only one of their measures to ac
complish that object.
It is not a question of individuals! The
public is not partioularly interested in
knowing how much Guss and his coadju
tors hate Mr. Seott. or how hard Mr.
Scott hit the League in 1869, when he
appeared before the County Committee,
at its request. The real issue now pre
sented concerns the very existence of the
party. No party, however strong, can
afford to be ruled by such men as rule the
League and the Globe. Intoxicated by a
little temporary success, accomplished by
the basest trickery and dishonesty, they
seem determined to force the party, to
which they profess to belong, to either
kick them out or acknowledge them as ru
lers. No man, with a spark of self-respect ,
can adopt the latter course.
, In 1869 the League made its nomina
tions before its existence was known or
believed by the party at large. When its
workings were exposed the party promptly
repudiated u ticket made up in that way,
not because et' personal objection to the
individuals nominated, but because the
nominations had been made by a fraud en
the party. Mr. Scott and his friends sup
porting John N. Swoope, Col. McCoy and
every other man on that ticket, who had
any claims to a fair nomination. When
this expose was made Mr. Scott considered
his duty done and from that time forward
left the people to set as they saw proper.
Though some nominations have been
made since, of the same men, and by the
same means, those who took grounds
against the ticket of 1869 have given them
an honest support, believing the whole
party was responsible for nominations made
after the ventilation of the League through
the newspapers. Now, gentlemen of the
League, we hare put up with a great deal
at your hands. Every year, since 1869,
you have done all you could, without com
ing out openly, to defeat every man on the
ticket who did not bow to the supremacy
of your band. It is only because you had
not the numbers that you did not succeett
in erecting Democratic county officers as
well as district officers. our rotten sys
tem of pocket boroughs, petty bribery, and
wholesale falsehood, aided by the 'three
to eight" active politicians in a township,
has enabled you repeatedly to override the
will of the majority, but there is a point
where forbearance ceases to be a virtue.—
If you would but give us honorable, or
even tolerably decent men, for our rulers,
we might still wear the yoke, but when
you set up for your leaders and our rulers
sueh creatures as A. L. Gass, Robert A.
Laird, John Logan, and that treacherous
Dr. Dunwiddie, of Warriorsmark, who vi
olated his positive instructions and misre
presented every man in his township, then
you are asking a little too much.
Perhaps you are giving us the best men
you have, but this only shows the desper
ate materials composing your organiza
tion. We are disposed to leave the whole
matter in the hands of the people. If they
are content to let a few political oat-throats
rule them, and boast of it, while their•
hard-earned taxes are devoted to private
gain and providing a corruption fund to
bribe delegates and carry Conventions,
then they have only to stand off and let
these would-be rulers have their own way.
They understand that business well.
itter There are not less than half a dozen
of men that W. H. Woods has promised
the office of Sheriff to, for the next term,
provided the parties will help him to elect
delegates in anti-League districts. He
has repeated this dodge fifty . times over,
and yet there any number of fools to be
caught with this fait. None but members
of the League get his support, or he vio
lates his oath.
gm. The man who says he does net be
long to the League, and yet acts with it,
is either a very stupid fellow or a knave.
Because if he does not belong to it, those
who do, have sworn. to support ONLY
their• fellow members for o f fice, and no sen
sible man is going to act with a set of
robbers unless he sees en opportunity to
share the plunder.
ma_ The What-is-It went to Washing
ton last week, ostensibly to attend the in
auguration, but more particularly to con
sult witk It. M. Speer, the left-bower of
the Peoples' League. No doubt he and
R. Milton will devise plans to 'dere the
Republican party.
GER-G ues says that he is "sole editor
and proprietor" of tho Thug's Own, while
Woods is soliciting subscribers to "his pa
per." Why 15 this thus?
THE WAY THE LEAGUE WORKS
The idea of a secret, selfish organization,
inside of a politioal organization, is exclu
sively American. It could. not exist else
where. And the probabilities are that it
would be impossible, outside of Huntingdon
county politics, to find men, even in Amer
ica, eu dishonorable, as lost to all sense of
justice, as to resort to such an infamous
plan to defraud their fellow partisans. The
worst baud of cut-throats, highwaymen or
out-laws, that ever cursed the world, would
shrink from such conduct toward each
other as they would from au apparition of
death. Yet here this is practiced, year in
and year out, and at last it is opetkly .de
fended. A few years ago every
. Thug
denied, until he was blue, the existence of
such an organization ; now, however, its
existence is admitted and palliated. Since
we have wrung out the admission let us
show our readers exactly how it lies been
conducted.
The. idea originated with the man who
desired to dictate the politics and transact
the business of the county. It was entirely
a matter of personal preferment with him.
He cared only for himself. The party
was only a vehicle to advance his selfish
ends. But without the aid of others
he could accomplish nothi4. He cast
about him to find material to suit his pur
pose. He saw that every election district
contained a few who conducted its politics.
Such men are generally aspirants. This
is so in two cases out, of three. It was
these aspirants that he wanted. If he
could control these, and get them to enter
into a aolema oath to• support none but
those who were similarly bound, he would
be able to accomplish his designs. The
machinery was manufactured and the
League was put to work. It was only to
contain from three to eight in each pre
cinct. This number would cover every
active man in nine-tenths of the districts.
One of the first and greatest duties devol
ving upon them was to earry nut the fol
lowing provision of the Constitution, viz :
"12. It is the imperative duty of
each m.emt►er of the League to at
tend all delegate meetings of the
Republican party and take with
him all he can influence to vote as
he does, and elect as delegates to
the county convention members of
the League, whenever itis possible,
and in default of this try to secure
the election of such delegates as
the League can control."
This was the chief end of its being.—
And with ail the active men in the respec
tive precincts, i;i the organization, there
was no trouble :iu carrying out this man
date. The people knew nothing of it;
they were in Egyptian darkness. And if
some old, broken-&own party hack was an
nounced for delegr-te, at whose very name
the people revolted, fresh members of the
League were set Itp, so it made no differ
ence who were elected, they were members
of the League! If now and then an honest
man turned up, who could not be induced
to join, in defrauding his political parti
sans, he was urged to he a candidate for
some important office, and the League
pledged him its support, on condition that
he would( secure certain delegates. These
tactics w ere used successfully with a dozen
men for the same office, and over and over
again, in the face of the glaring fact that
these mini had sworn to support only mem
bers of the League: Thus they controlled
. the enti re politics of the county.
Its Lead, Wm. H. Woods, not satisfied
with th is triumph, in the political arena,
detenni oed to control the business or the
comity.. Having secured an admission to
the bar he determined to control the jury
in all cases in which he was concerned.—
' For this purpose, he handed the Jury Com_
missioner, who was one of his sworn con
' federates, a list of his co aspirators, through
' out the comity, and had them placed in
the jury-box. Is doing this lie overreach
'
'cd himself. It was in this connection that
the conspirators drew the attention of
Hon. John Scott, who WOl3 loath to believe
that any apparently honorable men would
band themselves together for such an in
famous purpose. Mr. Scott saw thejury-box
however,filled with the men who rumorsaia
' belonged to the League. He, in behalf of
his clients, moved to quash the array of
jurors, and in the examination of the mat-
I ter, before the Court. his suspicions were
fully vindicated and the array was quash
' ed. Mr.. Woods' testimony, before the
, Court, OR this occasion, was the subject of
universal comment. The League had sworn
hint to secrecy and he determined not to
violate his extra-judicial oath. From this
moment the iniquity began to decline. A
short time afterwaads the whole plot, to
deceive and defraud the honest voters, was
exposed. [See Mr. Scott's speech on the
fourth page.]
It is this organization, in all its naked
ugliness, that the honest people, both Re
publicans and Democ:ats, are called upon
to strike down. No man will be safe un
til this is done. There is scarcely a case
tried in our Courts that is not influenced
by these men. Hundreds of eases have
been influenced by them. An oath has
lost its sanctity. They lie and swear to
their falsehoods. The" are treacherous
and cannot be trusted. Such is the state
of morals produced by this infamousaffair

THE NEW BASIS OF REPRESEN- News and Notes from Washington,
TATION
Our article in the JOURNAL three week,
ago seems to have frightened the What-is-
It of the Globe. He beats about at a fearful
rate, and says a great deal, which, wlum
summed up, amounts to just—nothing.
We will be frank enough to admit, that
upon a basis of representation as we pro
posed, the coterie of from three to eight" :
will be forever wiped out, as the What-is-
It acknowledged to a certain person : "that
if the Scott faction succeeded in changing
the basis of representation, we (the Peo
ples' League) would he wiped out for all
time," or words to that effect. We pass
over his slang and his twaddle about
"dogs," "cellars," de. , &.e., for lie has
worn the collar of his master so long that
be imagines everybody else the same ser
vile tool and time-server he is known to
be. We care nothing about his threats,
his inuendoes, his bombastic utterances—
they are bosh, but he wilfully misrepre
sents the truth, to such an extent, that we
desire to call attention to the fairness of
our proposition and the unfairness of his.
It is not necessary to follow him through .
for we presume that every intelligent man
can figure as well as we can, and much
more correctly than the What-is-It does-
To show the false reasoning and the utter
fallacy of his whole attack upon what every
fair-minded, candid man must admit to be
nothing but just and right, he supposes
there are 500 Republican votes in Hun
tingdon, when, if he had wanted to tell the
truth and not deceive, he would have said.
there 'are 402 Republican votes in Hun-•
tingdou, which, under the basis proposed
by as, would give us eight delegates, in
stead of 10, as he would have our country
friends believe. He talks about the equal
ity of the present system and the inequality
of the system that would take away the
power from a handful of men, fey lie is
well aware that any system whereby the
majority would rule (the principle upon
which our government is founded) the lit
tle band of sworn Leaguers would fade
away. and. like Othello, their occupation
would be gone. He next wanders off to
New York, and in fact over the whole coun
try but suddenly remembering that he is
stillin Pennsylvania, he exclaims :
"Look at the equality of the Senitorial and
Representative Districts in this State, et our
State Conventions—Some largely Democratic
and soma largely Republican, yet who ever
heard that the strong Republican districts
ought to have two or three more delegates
simply because they had two or three times as
many Republicans."
In the first place, what hue Democrats
got to do with Republican primary meet
ings ? As to the inequality of Representa
tion, carrying out his own assumed idea,
has Huntingdon county as many Senators
and Representatives in the Legislature as
Philadelphia, as Allegheny, as Lancaster.
as Berks, as Dauphin, and a number of
other counties? No. Consequently-, have
we as much power in the State Convention
as any of the counties named ? Nobody
but a fool or a conceited twaddler would
attempt to make anybody believe it. His
calling our farmers and ethers living in
the rural districts "country clod-hoppers,"
we denounce as a vile slander and insult,
and we are very much mistaken in the
temper of the country folks if they do not
burl the vile slander back into the false
teeth of their defamer.
• Thus the whole harangue is made up.
It is false is the beginning, false in de
tail, and false in the end. We ask a care
ful comparison of our article three weeks
ago with the one in the Globe two weeks
ago—then the verdict. We trust that a
change will be made so that 16 Republi
cans in Shade Gap will not have the same
power that 252 BAepublican6 in Porter
will have.
THE `QUARTER SESSIONS LAW-
YER."
in a legal point of view, what position,
as a lawyer, does Mr. Speer occupy in kis
uncalled for attack on Wm. B. Kelley ?
Suppose Mr. Speer tube the self-appointed
prosecutor or attorney for the Common
wealth, and A, B, C. B, E, F, G, H, I, J,
and K, are charged with the same offence.
Information is made againt them, and a
bill is laid before the grand jury against
all of them, and after a full and fair hives_
tigation, the indictment is returned a '•true
bill" es to A and B, but "iywranuts" as
to all the other defendants. A and B are
then tried before`the traverse jury..and
are acquitted by the jury, but made to pay
the costs as a mark of censure. As soon
as*this is all over, up jumps "John Milton
Speer,"and in a fit of virtuous indignation,
moves the Court to pass a similar sentence
on Mr. Kelley, as to whom the bill was
returned, "Not a tree Lill", by the grand
jury, but whose name, with others, was
mentioned, by some of the witnesses, be
fore the grand jury. What position would
he or should he or any ether attorney oc
cupy who would be guilty of such non
sense r
Well might Mr. Dickey call him an "ex
traordinary Quarter Sessions lawyer." and
well might the louse of Representatives,
by a very emphatic rote, concur with Mr.
Dickey in his estitnato of "John Milton
Spoor." Read Mr. Dickey's: speech on
the first page of this paper.
Wh en we took change of the Ole6e, we de
termined, notwithstanding the vile assaults
that had been made upon us by John Scott
and his satellites, to make no defense unless
assailed by his organ.—Globe.
The above is such a bald-faced lie, that it
needs no reply. Every issue of the Globe
since the What-is-It took charge of it,
bears the evidence of the lie in almost
every column. From his introductory to
the present, he has slashed about indis
criminately at those who do not belong
the Peoples' League, and especially John
Scott. We only ask a perusal of the
Globe, to sustain the truth of what we
say.

CLOSING HOURS OF CONGRESS.
Twelve o'clock, noon: Precisiely when
the dial of the clock indicated that the
hour of twelve had arrived the gavel fell
upon the presiding officer,' desk in each
House, and the XEIId Congress expired.
In each branch the closing act was a brief
address front the desk in reply to resolu
tions of thanks for tke faithful manner in
which the duties of the respective presi
ding officers had been discharged.
For a week past both -branches of Con
gress labored night and day, almost with
out intermission, the sessions on several
occasions extending through the entire
night. The last three days were devoted
almost exclusively- to the passage of bills
without debate. The result is that a per
feet avalanche of bills were hurried through,
and among theta all those of material im
portance. It will be a marvel if some
measures have not been smuggled through
in the hurry that should have been defeat
ed, and would not have passed in either
. _ _
ouse if more time and attention had been
bestowed upon their consideration. One
of these is the increase of salaries, a nicas-1
ure which is decidedly unpopular here and
will he so, it is believed, throaghont the
country. This measure was attempted and
defeated a few days before; but with some un
important changes, it was brought up again
as an amendment to the legislative appro
priation bill, in which shape it was carried
through. It gives the President $50,000
par annum; Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court $10,500 ; Justices of the Supreme
Court, the Vice President, Speaker of the
House and Cabinet officers also $10,500;
Assistant Secretaries of State and In
terior Departments $6,000; Senators,
Members and Delegates 87,500 each, with
an allowance of actual expenses incurred
in coming from and returning to their
Ihomes once for each session o Congress,
but without mileage, or extra allowance
for stationery or newspapers. The increase
to Congressmen, and an increase of 15 per
cent. on the salaries of all the officers of
the Senate and House dates from the com
mencement of the present Congress.
Garfield, Farnsworth, Niblaek and oth
ers in the House opposed the measure, but
the opportunity for each Congressman to
pocket an extra 83,000 at the end of eve
ry Congress was irresistible, so the bill
passed. Butler was the chief engineer in
this movement and it has already detracted
!from him much of • that confidence in his
integrity hitherto enjoyed.
THE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES,
At the close of Speaker Blaine's remarks
at noon to-day, the members of the House
filed out into the main ball and marched
to the Senate chamber where the Presi
dent, Vice President, Justices of the Su
preme Court and other distinguished offi
cials, bad already arrived. The usual oath
was administered to the President and
Vice President elect, when the audience
marched out upon the portico on the east
front of the Capitol, and the President de
livered his Inaugural Address. It will
make about a column in au ordinary sized
newspaper, and occupied sixteen minutes
in its delivery. The audience in front of
him would number 25.000.
The address is straight-forward, out
spoken and to the point. Four years ago
his inaugural address was delivered under
doubts and misgivings; but now he evi
dently understands his duties fully, and
means to perform them.
The procession to-day was very imposing,
and the Inauguration ball to-night promis
es to be a brilliant affair. These and other
subjects will receive attention in a letter
by to-morrow's mail. N. H. P.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 5, 1873,
THE SENATE CRAIRBER YESTERDAY
Being unable to attend and witness the
dosing scenes in both brandies of Con
gress, I remained in the House until the
gavel fell and the members filed out into
the main hall and proceeded to the Senate
chamber, where they remained during the
short time preceding the delivery of the
Inaugural Address at the East front of the
Capitol. The Senate was called to order
at 9.30, but it was sonic time after before a
quorum had assembled. At 10 o'clock the
members had nearly all taken their seats,
and the Senate proceeded to finish their
work. Two hours only remained. A
message •was received from the II ace an
nouncing the signature of the Speaker to
sundry bills, which the Vice President
signed, and the Senate went into executive
session.
The doors were again thrown open at a
quarter before 11 o'clock, but no one was
admitted without a ticket. The galleries
were soon filled by ticket holders, many of
whom were ladies. The members of the
Senate left their seats and were seated at
the left of the presiding officer, leaving
those on the right for the Diplomatic
Corps. In the rear of the Senators' seats
sat a large number of distinguished officers
of the army and navy, including generals,
admirals, commodores and colonels, in fall
uniform, together with prominent members
of the bar. ex-Senators, Senators elect,
State Governors, &e.
The Senate continued to pass bills and
attend to the last duties of the hour pre.
vious to the expiration of the 42d Congress.
At 11.35 o clock the Diplomatic Corps,
headed by the British Minister, Sir Ed
ward Thornton, walking, with Blacque Bey
entered and occupied the seats assigned to
them on the right. A few minutes later
Mr. Wilson, Vise President elect, entered,
and was welcomed by Senators Ciagin,
Bayard and Logan and conducted to his
seat. The members of the Supreme Court
entered, escorted by the Sergeant-at-Arms
and the U. S. Marshal, and were received
by the Senate 'standing, after which they
took seats at the right of the desk.
At. 10 minutes before 12 o'clock Sena
tors Conklin!: and Trumbull entered and
announced that they had informed the
President that Congress was ready to ad
journ. Senator Sumner, long absent by
sickness. now entered and was cordially
greeted by his peers in the Senate. Five
minutes later the President and Cabinet
entered, and were seated in front of the
desk. The retiring Vice President now
rose and announced the termination of the
42d Congress. Duringhis brief, but very
appropriate and impressive address, or val
edictory. the members of the House enter
ed, headed by their Sergeant-at-Arms, who
succeeded, with difficulty, in seating them
upon sofas and chairs in the rear and sides
of the chamber.
Mr. Colfax administered the oath of of
fice to Mr. Nilson, when the former left
and the latter occupied the chair of the
presiding officer as Vice President of the
United States,
when he in turn 'adminis
tered the oath to the incoming Senators.
The President, Court, Senate, House,
Diplomatic Corps, Press and spectators
then rose and proceded to the platform in
front of the East entrance, where the in
augural oath was administered to the
President elect. This was at 12.30 o'clock.
About 300 people were seated upon the
platform, and not less than 20;000 were
assembled in front of and around the sides
of the speaker. In the ceremony of ad
' mittistming the oath, the President and
Chief J ustice Chase arose, and the latter,
with the bible in his band, administered
the oath, during which every spectator's
head was uncovered and silence prevailed.
As the Chief Justice concluded the Presi
dent. bowing. kissed the BibJe. after which
a similtaneons outburst of huzzas went
up from the ::::sembletl, multitude.- inter
mingled with the booming of artillery to
the left of the itudine r. The Pre,:ident
then unfolded preeeeded to teal his
imtugoral tohlre-,, with firm and st,AV
During the r,mding-, salute was tired,
which, with a cilium of bells playing a le*
squares away, prevented the speaker from
being hard excepting hy those in the im
mediate vieinity of the platform. The
object of the:, present was ratite- to ,ec
than to hear, and in this they were folly
gratified.
At the dose of tile address the proees-
Sion Waft reformed and escorted the Presi

with thousands of spectators as it was
when the procession with the President
passed down to the Capitol between 10 and
11 o'clock.
FAREWELL ADDRESS OF VICE PRESIDENT
COLFAX,
SENATOItS : The time fixed by the Constitution 1
fur the dissolution of theForty-secondCongresshas
arrived and with a few parting words, I shall re-
sign this gavel to the honored eon of Massachuset t 1
who has been chosen by the people as my nieces-
ear. Administrations terminate and congresses •
expire us the years pars by, but the nation lives,
and grows, and prospers, to be eery.' in the future
by those equally faithful to its intends and egnalle
preund of he growing influence among the nations 1
of the earth. To be called by the representatives
of the people, and afterward by the people them-
selves to the responsible duty of presiding sneers- '
nicely over the two Houses of Congress for thepast
ten years, from the era of war. through the , Ira of
reconstruction, to the era of peace, more th a n tilts
the measure of an honorable ambition. Looking
back over these ten exciting years, I can claim, not
only that I have committed no set which has prov
ed the confidence misplace) that caned eta to this
position, but also that I hare striven in ifs official
duties to administer the parlinseutary law with
the same impartiality with which the upright
judge open the bench decides questions of life
and liberty, to faithfully protect the rights or the
minority, Its well es to support the rights of niajor
ity in the advancement of the public business, to
remaiu calm and unmoved staid the excitements
of debates to temper and restrain asperities, and
la guard against reveals! antagonist.. To per
fortn acceptably the complex, and often perpiexing
duties of the choir without partisan bias has been
my constant endeavor. It is gratifying,, therefore,
that of the many hundreds of decisions tondo by
me often on the instant, none have been reversed
anti scarce any • seriously questioned. How much
I owe to the uniform kindness and support of the
members over whom I have presided is difficult to
express in words. It has been bounded by NU par
ty line, and eontroned by no political affiliations ;
and 1 rejoice that I have beet, able to attest toy
appreciation of this rapport while zealously de
fending principels before the people. This defense
has never been coupled with personal assaults on
any of the eminent public men with whom I have
Idiffered. No aspersions on their eltaramer have
dishonored my tongue: no epithets Or invectives
have fallen from my lips.
But the clock admonisher um that the Forty-
Isecond Congress has already passed into history,
and wishing you, Senators, useful lives for your
country, and happiness for yourselves, and thank-
I ing seater the resolution spread on your journal,
and invoking the favor of trim who holds the des
! tiny of nations and of men in the hallow of this
hand, titan ready to administer the oath of office
to the Viet , President elect. whom I now introduce
to you.
VICE PRESIDENT WILSON'S ADDRESS.
Viee President Wilp.on elect, then ad•
yenned to the desk and addressed the Sen.
ate as follows:
SENATORS : Its assuming the petition assigned
use by the voice of ihe nation, lam not, I trust,
unmindful of the obligation it imposes. A service
here somewhat prolonged, covering a period
mewed with great events, and association here with
nearly twohundred and thirty Senators, many of
them statesmen of large 'Lief varied experience,
have impresses upon toe exalted ideas of the re
sponsibilities resting upon the occupant of this
chair, under the rules of the Senate, parliamentary
law, and the Constitution. fa passing, then, frym
the seat I have held far more than eighteen years
to this chair, I trust 1. comprehend something of
its just .requirements, something, too, of the tone
and temper of the Senate. In presiding over your
deliberations, I shall ever strive to he free from
personal prejudice and partisan bias. A sense of
public duty, and the obligations of personal friend
ship, alike require that I shall be as considerate,
as just, and as impartial, as the lot of humanity
permits. To the justice, generosity, and friendly
rettard of Senators, I truthfully appeal for that
counsel and eneouragement, that forbearance and'
indulgtince, which I am sure r shall often require
as your presiding elEcer.
The retiring Vice President, then said :
'The time for the expiration of Forty-See
ond Congress having arrived, I declare
'the Senate of the United States adjourned
zinc die.
After 31r. Wilson administered the oath
of office to eighteen Senators elect, all
together, the President's preclamation was
read, convening the Senate in extra ses
sion, the session to date from noon to-day.
The Senate then adjourned to meet on
Thursday, and all proceeded to the inaugu
ration platform outside.
President Grant's .Inaugural
FELLOW -CITIZ ENS : Under Providence
I have been called a second time to act as
Executive over this great nation. It has
been my endeavor in the past to maintain
all the laws, and 30 far as lay in my power,
to act for the best interests of the whole
people. My best efforts will be given in
the same direction iu the future, aided, -I
trust, by my four years' experience in the .
office.
When my first term of : the office of
Chief Executive began the country had
not recovered from the effects of a great
internal revolution, and three of the fernier
States of the Union had not been restored
to their Federal relations. 'lt seemed to
Me wise that no now questions should
taised so IoM , as that condition of affairs
existed. Therefore, the past four years,
so far as. I could control events, have been
consumed in the effort to restore harmony,
public credit, commerce, and all the.arts of
peace and progress: It is. my litho con
viction that the - civilized world is tending
towards republicanism, or government by ,
'the people through their chosen represen
tatives, and that our own great Republic
is destined to be the guiding star to nil
others. Under our Republic we support
any army less than that of any European
powet.of any standing; and a navy less
than that of either of at least five of them.
There could be no extension of territory
on this continent which would call for an
increase•of this force, but rather • might
such extension enable us to ditninish it. -
The theory of government changes with
the general progress Now that the tele
graph is made available for communicating
thought. together with rapid transit by
steam, all pdrts of a continent are made
contiguous for all purposes of government,
and communication between the extreme
limits of the country made easier than it
was throughout the old thirteen States at
the beginning of our national existence.
The effects of the late civil strife have
been to free the slave. and make him a
citizen. He is not possessed of the civil
rights which: citizenship should carry with
it. This is wrong, and should be correct
ed.
. .
To this correction I stand committed so
far as Executive influence can avail. So
cial equality is not a subject to he legislat
ed upon; no: shall I ask that anything be
done to advance the social status of the
colored• man except to give him a• fair
chance to develop what there is good in
him. Give him access to schools,
.end.
when he travels let him feel assured • that
his conduct will regulate the treatment.
and fare he will receive. The States lately
at war With the General Goierinuent are
- now happily rehabilitated, and no executive_
control is exercised in any one of them.
that would not be exercised in any other
State under like circunttances - •
In'tbe first year Of the past AdMinistra
don. the proposition came ttp for the ad
mission Domingo as .a territoey of
the Union. It was. not a question of my
seeking, but Was a proposition from the
people of canto Domingo, and which I
entertained. 1 believe now,,tis/ cljrl thgn,
that it was for the hest interests of this
Country, for the people of Santo Domingo,
and all concerned, that the prepositson
should he received favorably. It was. bow-
. .
ever, rejected ermstitutionally, and there-
tire the subject was never brought up
again by me.
In future, whilel hold my present office,
the subject of acquisition of territory must
have the support of the people before I
will recommend any proposition looking
to such acquisition. I say here, however,
'that( I<do cot share. in the apprehension
held by tinroy as to theltanger of govern
ments becoming weakened and destroyed
by reason of their extension of territory.
Commerce, education, and rapid transit
of thought and matter by telegraph and
steam have changed all this. Rather do I
believe tint our Great Maker is preparing
the world in • Hie- own goocttime . -to become
one nation, speaking one language, and
when armies and navies will be no longer
required.
My efforts in the future will be directed
to the restoration of good feeling between
the different sections ofour common coun
try, to the restoration of our currency to a
fixed value as compared. with the world's
standard of values—gold—and, if possible,
to a par with it; to the construction of
cheap routs of transit throughout theland,
to the end that the products of all sections
may find a market and leave a living re
muneration to the producer; to the main
tenance of friendly relations with all our
neighbors and with the distant nations; to
the re-establishment of oar commerce and
share in the
. oarrying trade upon the ocean;
to the encouragement of such manufact
uring industries as can be economically
pursued in this country, to the end that
the exports of home products and indus
tries may pay for our imports, the 'only
•sure method of returning to and perma
nently maintaining a specie basis; to the
elevation of labor, and by a humane course
to bring the abOngines of the country un
der the benign influences of education and
civilization. It is either this or a war of
extermination. Wars of extermination,
engaged in by people pursuing commerce
and all industrial pursuits, are expensive
even against the weakest people, and are
demoralizing and wicked. Our superiori
ty of strength and advantages of eiviliza
should snake us lenient towards the Indian.
The wrongs already inflicted upon him
Should be taken into account. and the bal
ance placed to his credit. The moral view
of the question' should be considered and
the question asked, Cannot. the Indian be
made a useful and productive member of
society by proper teaching and treatment ?
If the effort is made in good faith we will
stand better before the civilized nations of
the earth and in our own conociences for
having made it. All these things are not
to be accomplished by any one individual,
but they will receive. my support and such
recommendations to Congress as will, in
my judgment, best serve to carry them
into effect. I beg your support and en
, coupgement.
It lies been and is my earnest desire to
correct abuses that have grown up in the
civil service of the country. To secure
this reformation rules regulating methods
of appointment and promotion were estab
lished and have been tried. My efforts
for such reformation shall be continued to
to the best of my judgment. The spirit
of the rules adopted will be maintained.
I acknowledge before this assembly,
representing, as it does, every section of
our country, the obligation I am under to
my countrymen for the great honor they
conferred on me by returning me to the
highest office within their gift, and the
further obligation resting on me to render
to them the best services within my power.
This I promise, looking for ward with
the greatest anxiety to the day when I
shall be released from responsibilities that
at times are almost overwhelming, and
front which I have scarcely bad a respite
since the eventful firing upon Fort Sump
ter in April, IS6I, to the present day.
My services were then tendered and ac
cepted under the first call for troops rrraw
ing out of that event. I did not ask for
place or position, and was entirely without
influence or the acquaintance of persons
of influence, but was resolved to perform
my part in a struggle threatening the very
existence of the nation, a conciencious
duty, without asking promotion or com
mand, and without a revengeful feeling
towards any section or individual.
Notwithstanding this, throughout the
war, and from my candidacy for nay pres
ent office in 1868 to the close of the last
Presidential campaign, I have been the
subject of abuse sad slander scarcely ever
equalled in political history, which today
feel that I can afford to disregard in view
of your verdict, which I gratefully accept
as my vindication.
