TON REPORTER
On the night of the 14th of April, I was
sitting in my office alone, everything quiet :
and having filed, as I thought, my last de
spatch, I picked up an afternoon paper, to
see what especial news it contained. While
kkoking over its columns, a hasty step was
heard at the entrance of the door, and a gen
tleman addressed me, in a hurried and excited
manner, informing me that the President had
been assassinated, and telling me to come
with him lat first could scarcely believe
the intelligence. But I obeyed the summons.
He had been to the theatre with a lady, and
directly after the tragedy at that place, had
brought out the lady, placed her at his side in
hill carriage, and driven directly to me. I
then first went to the telegraph office, sent a
short "special," and promised soon to give
the particulars. Taking a seat in the hack,
we drove back to the theatre and alighted;
the gentleman giving directions to the driver
to convey the lady to her home.
The gentleman and myself procured an en
trance to the theatre, where we found every
body in great excitement. The wounded
President had been removed to the house of
Mr. Peterson, who lived nearly opposite to
the theatre. When we reached the box, we
saw the chair in which the President sat at
the time of the assassination; and, although
the gas had for the greater part been turned
off, we discovered blood upon it. A. man
standing by picked up Booth's pistol from the
floor, when I exclaimed to the crowd below
that the weapon had been found and placed
in my possession. An officer of the navy
—whose name I do not now remember—de
mended that I should give it to him; but this
I refused to do, preferring to make Major
Richards. the head of the police, the custo
dian of the weapon, which I did soon after I
my announcement. My friend having been
present during the performance, and being a
valuable source of news, I held him firmly by
the arm, for fear that I might lose him in the
crowd. After gathering all the points we
could, we .came out of the theatre, when we
heard that Secretary Seward had also been
assassinated. I recollect replying that this
rumor probably was an echo from the theatre;
but wishing to be satisfied as to its truth or
falsity, I called a hack, and my companion
and myself drove to the Secretary's residence.
We found a guard at the door, bat had little
trouble in entering the house. Some of the
neighbors were there, but they were so Inu , :11
excited that they could not tell au inteliNent
story, and the colored boy, by whom Paine
was met when he insisted on going up to fire
Secretary's room, was scarcely able to talk.
We did all we could to get at the truth of to
story, and when we left the premises, had
confused ideas of the events of the night.
Next we went to the President's house. A
military guard was at the door. It was then,
for the first time, we learned that the Presi
dent had not been brought home. Vague
rumors were in circulation that attempts had
been made on the lives of Vice-President
Johnson and others, but they could not be
traced to a reliable source. We returned t
Mr. Peterson's house, but were not permitte
to make our way through the military guard
to inquire into the condition of the President.
Nor at that time was it certainly known who
WBB the assassin of President Lincoln. Some
few persons said he resembled Booth, while
- others appeared to be confident as to the
identity.
Returning to the office, I commenced
writing a full account of that night's dread
occurrences. While thus engaged, several
gentlemen who had been at the theatre came
ni, and, by questioning them, I obtained ad
ditional particulars. Among my visitors
Was Speaker collar, and as he was going to
see Mr. 'Lincoln, I asked him to give me a
paragraph on that interesting branch of the
rafbject. At a sunsequent hour, he did so
Meanwhikt I carefully wrote my despatch,
though with trembling and nervous fingers,
and, tinder all the exciting circumstances, I
WAS afterward surprised that I had succeeded
In approximating so closely to all the facts in
these dark transactions.

There has , been invented by Dr. William
Fields, of Delaware, a moat destructive tin

rifle barrels mounted on two wheels, the
whole being primed, loaded and fired at the.

elevates, depresses, and gives any range re

caricaturist for if.ga tip* represented's cer
tain one of the imperialist lawyers very tell
ingly as a melon; the picture at first sight ap
peared to be a big; corrugated, bloated'gourd,
but on examination resolved itself into the
features of the advocate in question, whose
vacant grin was very perfectly depicted by a
slash in the melon. The bit was so palpable
as to become a town talk, and the govern
ment suppressed the edition, on the extraor
dinary charge of obscenity. Inspired per
haps by the report of this 'affair, the social
writer of the Saturday Review sweeps up the
various developments of character which may
fairly be classed as the gourd family, under
the pictorial epithet of " Pumpkins :"
" Pumpkins are among the most imposing
of all groundling growths. They have fine
showy flowers, handsome leaves, roving
stems, and they bear solid-looking fruit of a
goodly size and gorgeous color. To see them
spreading over their domain with such rapid
luxuriance, one would imagine them among
the best things growing; but a critical exami
nation proves their flesh to be about three
parts water, while as for their stalks, they are
of so pithless a nature they can only creep
along the earth, unable to stand upright with
out support; which tells something against
the pumpkin's claim for extra consideration.
Still, their showy largeness attracts the eye,
and not a few of us believe in pumpkins, and
admire both their mode of growth and the
fruit resulting. In like manner the human
pumpkins—those beings of imposing pres
ence and loud self-assertion—get themselves
believed in by the simple; and, as occasions
by which their watery and fibreless nature is
revealed do notarise every day, they are for
the most part "accepted for the substantialities
they assume to be, and the world is deceived
by appearances as it, ever has been. These
human pumpkins abound evefYwliere. In all
states and professions, and in both sexes, we
find them flourishing-magnificently upon the
face of the earth, taking the lead in their so
ciety, and setting themselves out as the finest
fellows to be found in their respective gar
dens. Among them are the men of the Born
bastes type, scr dear to the older playwrights;
braggadocios of the kill 'em and eat 'em
school,who were such terrible fellows to look
at and listen to, though only puthpkitts
of a singularly innocuous nature when stoutly
squeezed and analysed; fire- eaters of the jug
gling kind, with special care taken that the
lire shall be harmless, and that the danger
shall be only in the fear of the spectators.
Now that duelling has gone out of fashion,
and discharged captains who have signalized
themselves in war are rare, our old swash
buckler type of pumpkins has gone out both
in fact and fiction, on the stage and off it.
To be sure we have a few travelers of slightly
apocryphal courage, and more than doubtful
accuracy, whose books of perilous adventure
and breathless dangers are to us what Born
bastes and Bobadil were to our fathers; and
we have Major Wellington de Boots with his
military swagger and his hare's heart. But
be is a very weak imitation of' the old fire
eater; and, on the whole, this special family
of the pumpkins has dwindled into insignifi
cance, and their place knows them no more.
Then there is the pumpkin after the cut of
the Prince Regent—the man of deportment,
generally big, often handsome, and chiefly
noticeable for a loud voice, a broad chest,and
an indescribable air of superiority and com
mand; the man who has studied bowing as
one of the fine arts, who walks with a swag
ger, and even now tips his curly-brimmed
bat slightly to the side. This is the kind of
man who influences women. Bombastes
frightens the nervous and inexperienced of
his,„own sex, but the man of deportment
partly fascinates and partly overawes the
other. They take him at his own valuation,
and have not skill enough to find out the flaw
in the summing up until perhaps it is too late,
when they have come so near to him that
thcy are able to appraise him for themselves,
and have learnt by bitter experience of what
unsound materials he is made. And then
let him look out. There is nothing women
resent so much as pumpkin manhood—
nothing which humiliates them more it their
own esteem than to discover that they have
been taken in by appearances, and
that what they believed was solid
weed turns out to be only squash.
Women like to rely on men, and dread noth
ing so much as weakness and vacillation in
their male protectors; save indeed those grim
and bulky tamales in whom Hood so much
delighted, who take small men vi et avails,
and subjugate them body and soul, like two
legged poodles trained to fetch and carry at
the word of command. But these are excep
tions; the average woman prizing strength
rather than poodle like docility. The pump
kin of the Prince Regent cut is generally
ngtotioue for laying down the law on all
,phints. His voice is loud, and his manner
of speech dictatorial, so that no one dreams of
doubting, still less of contradicting, him, but
everybody takes him as he represents himself
to be--a man of prompt decision, of bound
less resources, a granitic tower of strength to
be leant against in all emergencies without
the slightest fear of failure; a man who is not
only !sufficient for himself, but strong enough
to bear the weakness of others. He is famous
for giving advice—advice of a vague, rapid,
sprawling kind, never quite exact to the cir
cumstances, never quite practical or to the
point—large advice, general in scope but
wonderfully positive in tone, and, until you
analyse, grandly imposing in effect.
Nail him to the point; ask his
advise seriously on any question where
the responsibility of counsel will rest with
him; place yourself in his hands where the
consequences of 'allure will touch him as well
as you, and then see to what meagre dimen -
sions your goody gourd will shrink. The
confident assertion drops into a weak hesita
tion, the arrogant advice melts into a timid
refusal to take such a responsibility on him
self; you have pricked your windbag, dis
sected your pumpkin, and henceforth you
know tne precise weight of substance remain
ing. Yet mankind sees him exactly where
he was before, and he will go abotit the world
in his large, loud way, saying to every one
that if you had followed his advice you would
have succeeded—supposing you have failed;
or, if you have succeeded, he will take all the
credit to himself, and say it was he who
guided you ford showed you how to go in
and win. For himself and his own affairs,
he has no more mJral stamina than he had
leadership for you and yours. Tne least re
verse knocks him over. Care or sorrow,
when it touches him, shrivels him up as com
pletely as frost shrivels up the pumpkin; in
every circumstance requiring promptitude, or
coolness, or keen perception; or just decision,
our swaggering man of froth fails ignomini
ously; 500 one hour of real pressure proves
without doubt that he was only a pumpkin
of imposing presence, good neither as meat
nor staff when the time of trial came.

should try'to display itsel t f, h the wife knows
how to lower it by a fear decisive words of a
keen-edged kind, and her pumpkin is made
to feel sharply enough the difference existing
between fibre and pulp. • Yet- it is almost

so cut down in his pride; and involuntarily
one's sympathies go wit h him rather than
With that tenacious, hard-mouthed wife of
his, who would be none the worse perhaps
for a little of her husband's softness,and with
less than her own hardness. How often,too,
these big fellows have no physical stamina,
as well as very shaky moral fibre. A small,
wiry light-weight will do twice as much as
they; not, of course, where muscle only is
wanted, but where the question is of endu
rance. Large heavy men knock up far
sooner than the light-weights; and though
size and weight count for something at cer
tain times and on occasions, fibre and tena
city go for more in the long run. In the
Crimea, the men who first dropped off from
exposure and privation were the magnificent
ly-built Guardsmen—men apparently bred
and fed to the highest point of physical per
fection; while - the undersized little liners, who
had nothing to be admired in them,
stood the strain gamely, and were
brisk and serviceable when the
others were either dead or in hospital.
So far as we have gone yet, we have not
solved the problem of how to combine tough
ness and bigness, solidity and size, but for
the most part fail in the one in proportion as
we succeed in the other. Many of the dark -
skinned races are pumpkins in a way. Their
flashing black eyes and swarthy skins seem
to be instinct with passion; they look like
living furnaces filled with flames and molten
metal, terrible fellows, dangerous to meddle
with, and almost impossible to subdue. But
' nine times out of ten we find them to be mar
vellot:sly meek persons, timid, amenable to
law, unable to give offence, and incapable of
taking lt—lambs masquerading in tiger- skins.
A fair-faced Anglo-Saxon, with his sensitive
blush, good-humored smile, and light blue
eyes, has more pluck and pith in him than a
brigade of certain of these dark-skinned
men. He has less ferocity perhaps than
they when they are thoroughly%roused,
though our good-humored Anglo
gaxon is by no means destitute of ferocity on
occasions when his blood is up; but it is fe
rocity of the brutal and bludgeon stand-up
fight kind—the ferocity of strength fairly put
out against an adversary, not the tigerish
cruelty which is almost always found when
moral weakness and physical submission
have a momentary triumph and reaction.
Cowardly men are like women in their re
venge when once they get the upper hand;
and their revenge is more cruel than that of
the habitually brave man who, after a fair
-fight, overthrows his opponent. Some of the
dark-skinned races look the very ideal of the
meld-dramatic ruffian—operatio brigands
painted with broad black lines, and up to any
amount of deeds of daring and of crime; but
they are only pumpkins at the core. We
need not go so far as Calcutta to find them;
we get examples nearer home, both in
Houndsditch and in Rome; for both Jews
and Italians are soft-cored men in spite of
their passionate outsides, and both would be
better for an extra twist and toughness in
their fibres.
Intellectual pumpkins are as common as
those of the more specially physical kind.
You meet with philosophers and "thinkers"
—perhaps they are poets, perhaps politiciandr,
—who flourish out a vague big declamation
which, when you reduce it to its essence,yoe,
find to be a platitude worth nothing; whipped,
cream, without any foundation of solid pud
ding. if they are of the philosophic sort,
they quote you Fichte and Hegel, to the be
wilderment of your brains unless you have
gone into the metaphysical maze on your own
account; but they might have put all they
have said into half a dozen words of three
letters, like a child's first reading lesson. The
flourish imposes, and people who cannot
analyze take the whipped cream for solid
pudding, and think that platitudes dressed in
the garb of Fichte and Hegel are utterances
worthy of deep respect and admiring won
der. All the professions which talk, either
by word of month or in print, are spe
cially given to this manifestation of pump
kinhood. Preachers and authors sprawl and
flourish over their small inheritance with
a tremendous assumption of vital force and
vigorous growth; and weak hands, with
weaker beads, find support and shelter in
their foliage. Poets too, with a knack for
turning out large moulds in which they have
run very small ideas, are pumpkins dear to the
feminine mind. Have we not our Tupper?
had we not our "Satan" Montgomery? and a
few others that we might catalogue if we
cared for the task, each with his multifarious
female following, and hie spiritual harem of
ardent admirers ? All artists—that is, the
men who create, or rather who assume to
create—are liable to be proved pumpkins
when called on to show themselves solid
wood. They talk grandly enough, but when
they have to translate their words into deeds,
too Caen the noble aims and immortal efforts
they have been advocating tail off into pulp
and water, and we have botches and pot
boilers instead of masterpieces and high art.
Perhaps we may take it as a rule Mat all
doers who talk much and boast grandly are
of the pumpkin order, and that art, like na
ture, is best elaborated in silence.
strong-visaged women are often pure
pumpkins with a very rough and corrugated
outside. It is astonishing how soon they
break down, and for all their stern and pow
erful looks sink under burdens under which a
frail little creature, as light as thistledown,
will glide along quite easily. Women with
black brows and narsh voices—brigandesses
by appearance, or like the typical Herodias
of unimaginative artists—are often the gent
lest and most pithless of their sex, and may
be seen acting quite compassionately towards
their infants, or vindicating their womanhood
by meekly sewing on their husband's Imams,
and 'weeping at his rebukes; while a fair,
silver tongued, languid lady, as soft Ss if she
were made of nothing harder than the tradi
tional cream and rose-leaves, will give up her
babies as a prey to unfeeling nurses, and let
her husband go buttonless and in rags, while
she lounges before the fire indifferent to his
wrath and callous to his wrongs.
There is many a house mistress who
lolls as if she could use her fists
when annoyed, who is absolutely afraid
of her servants; and the maid is always the
mistress when the one is fibre acid the other
pulp. Heaven be praised that the strong
visaged women are not "clear grit" all
through. If they were as hard as they look,
the world would go but quebely, and society
would have to make new laws for the pro
tection of its weaker male members. But
nature is merciful UP well as sportive, and
while she amuses herself by creating prusip-
It ins of formidable aspect, takes care that the
core shall net always correspond to the rind.

spectacle Glasses for Public speakers.
Prof. Henry Morton, in the February num
ber of his Journal of the Franklin Insti
tute, makes room for the following proposi
tion from S. W. Robinson, of the Michigan
University, in relation to a form of eye-glass
especially for public speaker's:
It has been set forth by John B. Gough,the
great lecturer, that a public speakyr should
wear nothing that will throw flashes. This
truth appears self-evident on enunciation,
and should be particularly regarded by all
public speakers. A glistening button,watch
chain pendant, or breast-pin is always no
ticed. The richest ornaments, particularly
those set with diamond jewels, are worst of
all. But what can be more effective in pro
jecting flashes than spectacle glasses r as now
constructed, especially those of slight con
vexity, such as should be adopted by persons
beginning to wear them? First, perhaps, we
see the natural eyes of the speaker; then sud
denly, two fire-balls take their place, of de-
Mon-like appearance, winking alternately, or
in concert,to the turn of the head. The object
in view in the few words now offered, is to
propose a remedy, or a partial one at least,
ler this inconveniency regarding spectacle
glasses.
Light reflected from a plane surface, as
large as a spectacle glass procleding from the
blaze of a gas burner, will appear to an ob
serve as far from the glass, as the glass is
from he burner, to proceed from the whole
surfs e of the glass when the position -of the
latte is favorable; because, under these cir
cum an ces, it is only necessary that the blaze
of the burner should have, as it very nearly
does, twice the breadth of the glass. If the
surfaces of the glass be slightly curved, it is
only necessary that the burner be compara
tively a little nearer to it. The effect is still
worse when the light reflected proceeds from
the broad surface of a window; and the spec
tacle lens may then appear fully illuminated
with considerable convexity. This not only
produces an annoying flash, but ever and
anon perfectly obscures the eyes of the
speaker wearing the spectacles. But the
greater the convexity of the lenses of the
spectacles, the smaller will the reflected
image of any given object appear. If this
be carried to a sufficient extent, the images
of a whole window even may be reduced to
such an extent as to cause no serious incon
venience, any more than the images of the
same objects as ordinarily reflected from the
cornea of the eye itself. To secure the de
sired degree of convexity of the two surfaces
of the lenses of the spectacles, without add
ing to the magnifying power, it will be ne
cessary to grind the lenses in the form of the
meniscus. -- This will require some additional
trouble on the part of the practical optician;
and such spectacles would consequently be
more costly. But cannot, and would not
many of our public speakers, such as clergy
men and lecturers, avail themselves of the
use of such glasses if they could he had,even
at a considerably extra expense? Let opti
cians give their attention to the production
of a few such spectacles, if for no other pur
pose than to try the experiment, believing
that if they can be produced without a greater
sacrifice than the object gained, that they will
thus become contributors to the relief of a
present serious want.
This form of spectacle will also possess
some individual advantages. When the eyes
are turned considerably to one side or the
other the rays of light will reaeh them by a
more direct passage through the substance of
the glass, and thus the eye receive more light
it the glass is not perfectly pure and clear.
The frame of such glasses can also be worn
nearer to the eyes, and give the same amount
of room in front of them, so as to admit of
a broader range of natural vision without
interference w lib the frames of the lenses, or
passing outside them altogether.
It would seem that the eyes, thus favored,
with a clear and unobstructed view,
could almost believe themselves enjoying
youthful days.

PRESIDENTIAL MAUD ORATIONS.
A Summary of the Installations of the
Preeiden ts from Washington , to
Grant.
The inauguration of General Grant at Wash
ington, next Thursday, will be the twenty-first
event of the kind since the adoption of the Con
stitution, unless the swearing into office of
.Messre. Tyler, Fillmore and Jouneoa be so dig
nified. But although there have been twenty in
augurations of Presidents, yet only fourteen in
dividuals have been elected to the office, six of
them,—Washington' Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe, Jackson and Lincoln,.:—having been twice
chosen. Three Presidents have died in
office,—Hurrleon, Taylor and Linco in,
the first after serving one month, the
second sixteen months and four days, and
the third six weeks, lacking some hours, of his
second term.. No Preildent has retired from
office on account of the limitation of his term
without feeling that his popularity and influence
had waned since his election. Since the time of
Washington the entrance of the chief magistrate
into office has been celebrated with more or less
pomp, and it is probable that the scenes of next
Thursday will be quite as brilliant as any before.
In this connection a brief resume of past inau
gurations will not, perhaps, be amiss. '
- welinutOTON.
The first inauguration of Washington took
place at New York, on the 30th of April, 1739.
Be arrived therd from Mt. Vernon, where a Con
gressional Committee had been sent to meet him,
on the 23d, his journey having been a series of
enthusiastic greetings. From the 23d to the 30th,
Washington remained at his house on the corner
of Pearl and Cherry elreets, and received addresses
from public bodice. At 9.o'clock ou the morning
Of inauguration day, prayers were offered up for
the preservation of the President in all the
churches. At noon Washington was escorted to
the Federal State House, on Wall street, where
the United States Sub-Treasury now stands,
when ho was received in form by Con
gress. He then, accompanied by the mem
berii, proceeded to the balcony in front
of the building, facing Broad street, and took
the oath of office, which was administered to him
by Chancellor Livingston. At the close of this
ceremony the Chancellor exclaimed: "Long Bye
General Washington," which was taken up and
repeated by the immense concourse of people who
witnessed the proceedings. The Presiderit re
turned to the Senate chamber, and there delivered
an address, at the close of which all went to St.
Paul's church and listened to a sermon by the Rt.
Rev. Samuel Prevost. The day's festivities were
concluded with balls and a display of fireworks.
It was remarked that Washington wore a suit of
black broadcloth of home manufacture.
His second inauguration took place at Phila
delphia on the 4th of March, 1793. The members
of Congress, Heads of Departments, Justices Of
the Supremo Court and Foreign Ministers assem
bled in the Senate Chamber at noon, where the
oath of office was administered byJudge Cushing
of the Supremo Court. The event was an
nounced to the people by salvos of artillery.
Washington then delivered his inaugural address,
and was escorted to hie house by a large military
inprocession. The "Relin Court" was then
its glory, and some bril li ant parties were given
In the evening.
JOIMI ADAMS.
The inauguration of John Adams took place
at Philadelphia on the 4th of March, 1797. The
ceremonies occurred In Representatives' Hall in
the presence of a large concourse, including
Washington, Jefferson (who had jest been
sworn in as Vice President), the Judges of the
Supreme Court, the diplomatic corps. the
beads of the departments, officers of the army
and navy, the members of Congress and many
ladies. At noon Adams and Washington
entered the hall together. The President elect
made a short speech, and the oath was adminis
tered by Chief Justice Ellsworth. Soon after.
Adams, Jefferson and Washington retired, and
were escorted home amid salvos of artillery and
loud cheers. In the evening there were the usual
festivities, and a grand dinner was given to Wash
ington by the merchants of the city at O'eller's
hotel.
.1 ay FEASON
Jefferson was inaugurated, for the first time,at
Washington, on the 4th of March, 1801. In ac
cordance with the extreme simplicity advocated
and practiced by him. he discarded the pomp
which had characterized the inaugural ceremo
nies of his predecessors, and rode to the Capitol
with an unpretending escort. Neither Mr. Adams
nor • Mr. Sedgwick were present at the pro
ceedings, both having left for Massachusetts be
fore they began, and the great concourse of
people, which had served to make the previous
inauguration Imposing, was wanting, the travel
ing facilities of those days being too limited to ad
mit of people coming to the Capital from distant
places. Dressed in a plain suit, Jefferson entered
the Senate Chamber alone, and took the seat of
Vice President Burr. As soon as he had delivered
his address, the oath was administered by Chief
Justice Marshall, and the event was celebrated by
the diacharge of artillery. In the evening he
gave a reception, over which Mrs. Madison pre
sided.
His second inauguration, on the 4th of March,
1805, was much more brilhant than the first, and
was witnessed by a much larger number of peo
ple. Among the lions present Was Commodore
Preble, who bad recently returned from his bom
bardment of Tripoli. As before, the ceremonies
took place in the Senate Chamber, and Chief
Justice Marshall administered the oath.
MADISON.
Madison revived the imposing ceremonies of
Washington's time, and his second. Inauguration
was remarkable for its display.' Mrs. 'Madison
was a very, hospitable lady, and was the origina
tor of the system.of etiquette which has prevailed
at the White House ever since. The Presidential
••levees" were an idea of hers, for the purpose of
giving the people generally an opportunity of
visiting the President without the formality of an
invitation. His first Inauguration took place on
the 4th of March, 1809, in the House of Represen
tatives, where ho took the oath of office and de
livered an address. In the evening he gave a re
ception at the White House.
At his second Inauguration, in 1819, he was es
corted to the Capitol by a legion , of volunteer
dragoons, and was received with martial honors
by the militia of the District. A very largo crowd
was present, among them Henry Clay, and the
oath was administered by Chief Justice Marshall.
In the evening them was a grand inauguration
ball at Davle's Hotel.
IVIONROE.
Monroe was inaugurated, for the first time, on
the 4th of March. 1817. The President and D. D.
Tomphins,.the Vice President, were escorted to
the Capitol by a cavalcade, and met the digni
taries in the Senate Chamber, whore the Vice
President was sworn in. Then, for the first time
at any inauguration, a procession was formed.
which proceeded to the platform , erected outside
of the building, and tho President delivered his
inaugural adeess within hearing of the multi
tude. The alb of Wilco was then administered,
and the event commemorated by the firing of
cannon. In the evening there was an inaugura
tion bull at Davis's Hotel.
The 4th of March coming on Sunday in 1821,
the second inauguration of Monroe took place
on Monday the fitb., The ceremonies occurred in
t t l Representatives' Hall, iu the presence of the
dignitaries , of the country and an immense crowd
of ladietrand gentlemen.. •
ADAMS
Tho inauguration old. Q. ; Adams. ip 18211, was
the most:imposing'? that 'ha ever - oe t carred, and
was in striking contrast -to the simplicity or hi.
predecessor. Adams and Monroe wore accom
panied to the Capitol by troops.and a civil caval
cade, where they wore received with military
honors by the marine corps. Tho ceremonies
took place in;Representativea' Haiti, where were
assembled thd members of Congress: the Judges
of the Supreme Court, the Heads of Department
and the diplomatic corps. The galleries were
tilled with brilliantly dressed ladies and gentle
men. The President read his address from the
Spetiker's Oak, Mier which the ,oath; was ad
ministered by the Chief Justice. As soon as the
proceedings were over, Gen. Jackson, who had
been the candidate of the Democracy against Mr.
Adorns, at the late election, advanced and shook
hands with him. Tuo I President was escorted
back to his house as he came, S and in the evening
received his friends.
JACKSON
The concourse of people who came from the
most distant parts of the country to witness the
Inauguration of. Gun. Jackson was so great as to
excite astonishment in the - journals' of the day
and among public men. Elie election had in
spired a feeling of confidence through all sections
of the country, which had not been felt for elm , .
yeses, and the curiosity to witness "Old Hickory"
was very groat. Like Jefferson, disdaining all
formalities, Jackson declined a large escort, and
rode on horseback to the Capitol. He entered
the Senate Chamber shortly before noon, attended
by the marshals and committee of arrangements,
and took his seat just in front of the Secretary's
desk. There were present mike floor the dig=
ril Miles of the land . ; the diplomatic corps, and a
large number of ladles. The Representatives
were admitted to ono of the galleries. At noon
they all proceeded to the Eastern portico, and
the President delivered his inaugural address.
Chief Justice Marshall then administered the
oath, the conclusion of which was followed by
salvos of artillery.
His second inauguration, on the 4th of March,
1833 , WaB,as free from formality as the first.
With Van Buren, the Vice-President, he went to
the Senate Chamber, whore the oath was admin
istered by Chief Justice Marshall. Theinartgural
address was terse and brief.
At Van Buren% inauguration—the 4th of March,
1837—a1l the splendor which had been omitted
by Gen. Jackson was revived. The General and
his successor, seated in a phaeton built of the
wood of the frigate Constitution, were escorted
to the Capitol by a large body of cavalry and In
fantry. The day was delightful, and Pennsylva
nia avenue was lined with
_people for more than
a mile between the White Rouse and the Capitol,
who cheered the retiring and incoming Presidents
vociferensly. The oeremonles took place on the
east portico, where, in the presence of an Im
mense assemblage of peOple, and the members of
Congress and other high officials and the Foreign
Ministers, Van Buren delivered 'ila Inaugural ad
dress and took the oath of office, which was ad
ministered by the new Chief Justice, Mr. Taney.
RAMIILSON.
Gen. Harrison was inaugurated on the 4th of
March, 1841. Never before had there been such
an influx of politicians to the Capitol, beat on
obtaining office by hook or by crook. The pro
cession which escorted the General from his ho
wl to the Capitol was very fine, and he himself
mounted on a splendid white charger attracted
great attention. On arriving at the Capitol.
Gen. Harrison, accompanied by the members 01
Congress, the judges of the Supreme Court, the
foreign ministers and other distinguished per
sons, proceeded to the east portico and the Pre
sident-elect read his inaugural. Just before the
close he stopped, when Chief Justice Taney ad
ministered the oath of office, and Gen. Harrison
then concluded his address. The President was
then escorted to the White House, where he held
a reception in the afterhoon. In the evening
there were grand balls and other festivities, seve
ral of which therresident attended.
Gen. Harrison's death on the sth of April, 18
. _
caused the execution, for the first time, of the
provision in the Constitution which makes the
Vice-President the acting Chief Magistrate of the
nation In such cases. The heads of departmentf ,
waiu. d upon Mr. Tyler on the 6th, and he took
an oath before the Eton. William Cranen, Chief
Justice of the Supremo Court, to fatthtnlly
support the Constitution. Tyler himself thought
that the oath he took on assuming the Vice
Presidency was sufficient, but he consented to
take the additional oath in order to avoid any
possible trouble.
The brilliancy of Polka inauguration, on the
4th of March, 1845, was greatly dimmed by a
heavy rain storm. Nevertheless the procession
was quite large, the Empire Club, of New York.
under command of Isaiah Rynders, being the
most conspicuous body. On reaching the Capitol,
the procession was joired by Mr. Tyler, and
thence went through the rotunda to the last
portico. Hero Polk made his address and took
the oath of office, after which he was escorted to
the White House. The President gave a recep
tion in the afternoon, and an Inauguration ball
came off in Jackson Hall in the evening.
652103
In 1849 the 4th of March came on Sunday (the
second time when a President was to enter into
alley), and the inauguration ceremonies there
lore occurred the next Monday. The day was
ushered in with peals of bells, music and the dis
play of flags. The procession to the Capitol was
very large and fine, the military display never
baying been equalled before or since. General
Taylor and Mr. Polk rode in carriages, and it
has been estimated that some 20,000 per
sons listened to the inaugural. General
Taylor's appearance upon the east portico was
the signal for immense cheering, and during his
address, and after he had taken the oath of office,
the cheers were overwhelming. The firing of
C 11510013 celebrated the event, and the festivities
were concluded with a grand balL
MIME!
General Taylor died on the 9th of July, 1850,
and two days after a joint convention of the
Houses of Congress was held in Representatives'
Hall, when Mr. Fillmore entered and, swore to de
fend the Constitution. This being all that was
considered necessary, he at once assumed the
reins of office.
CM=
Mr. Pierce was inaugurated on the 4th of
March, 1853. It snowed fast, but that did not
detract from the brightness of the scene. There
was a procespion one mile in length which es
corted Messi Fillmore and Pierce to the Capitol.
The route was lined with vast numbers of people,
who cheered enthusiastically, to which General
Pierce, standing erect in his carriage, responded.
The foreign ministers, dressed In their glittering
uniforms, rode in their state carriages
guarded by a squadron of cavalry. On arriving
at the Capitol the outgoing and incoming Presi
dents proceeded to the Senate Chamber, where
the high officials of the nation were 'assembled.
Then a procession was formed and marched to
the east portico, whore a large staging had been
erected. The oath of Office was administered by
Chief Justice Taney, after which the President
delivered his inaugural address. He was fre
quently greeted : with cheers, during, Ha deliv
ery; and its eonclsion was followed by the ring
ing of bells, martial music and the firing of can
non. The President was then escorted to the
White House and Mr. Fillmore to Willard's
Hotel. In the evening Mr. Fillmore dined with
Mr. Pierce and several balls took place. Presi
dent Pierce was the first since Washington's
time, we think, who delivered his inaugural ad
dress after taking the oath; all the previous Presi
dents, beginning with the elder • Adams, having
Made their addresses and then taken their oaths
of office.
BucgANAN
The inauguration of Buchanan took place on
the 4th of illarob, 1857, amid a large assemblage
and attended with brilliant ceremonies. Tne in
augural address was delivered as usual from the
east portico of the Capitol, and the customary
festivities Wok place In the evening.
LINCOLN AND JOIINOON
The particulars of tno inauguration of Mr.
Lincoln are too fresh in the minds of all to need
any recapitulation and the events attending the
_accession to the Presidency of Johnson in
'1865 are equally Well known;ito untillhe inau
guration of General Grant nothing more need be
said.—Roston Post.
