Tired of wrangling and contention and the intrigues of selfish dema gognee, the people look with eager eyes to Washington, where the man who, in a measure, holds the destiny of the nation in his hand, assumes the dignity of the highest office in the gift of any people. General Grantbegitishis civil career under peculiarly favorable auspices. By the grandeur of his past aelievements he has gained the respect of all his fellow-citizens, and as he takes upon himself the management of the govern ment, the voice of passion is hushed every where tin the land; bitter partisanship is at an end; and the people of all factions and all sections seem to have forgotten the old issues of strife and to have turned with high expec tation and with confidence to watch the coming of that better time for which all true men have longed through so many years. The "era of good feeling" has at last begun. The South yields its allegiance to a man in whom it knows there is no sectional pride or disdain, and who is great enough to dare to be just at the risk of offending his partisan supporters. The North trusts him because it reclgnizes in him a model of integrity; the sworn foe of that corruption in high plaries which is de moralizing the nation, and the sturdy advo cate of perpetual, amicable union of all the States. 'We stride forth with him into the un known future with full faith in him; with a faith that was born of his conduct in the hour of the nation's extremity, and is strengthened by the independence, the sound judgment and the strong sense of his recent behavior under most trying circumstances. We place him amid the ruins left by the atrocious mal administration of his predecessor, and give him an opportunity such as rarely falls to the lot of man, to rebuild the wreck, repair the evil done and purify the political atmosphere of its foul vapors. An indifferently goal man would win for himself reputation by' the very force of contrast with the unalloyed wickedness of Andrew Johnson. President Grant will, we believe, make his administra tion intrinsically excellent. We take afresh start as he begins his duties. 'We have cut loose forever from all the ancient embarrassments which have clogged the feet of former leaders. The old-time doctrines of state rights; of the divinity of human slavery; of blind conservatism and political bigotry; of sectional prejudice, and of caste,are buried gall time. The period of Johnson's admin letration was but a continuation of the war time. The battle, transferred from the field Is the cabinet, was still fought with bitterness and ferocity; but under Grant we shall begin to reap the real fruits of victory; and for the Ant time in the history of the Republic see the practical realization of tbat fundamental Republican principlo--the absolute equality of 4111 =pen, of every color, before the law. We do not expect that this 4th of March will be the beginning of a golden age of unchanging prosperity and peace. "new occasions teach new duties." Other issues will arise, as per - pkndng and threatening as those that have been disposed of; and we shall have to meet them with- as vigorous and keen an ititelli - OHICO, The coming years will be but a time of severer trials, of sterner resolve, of new duties, of hliAet Itepirations, of broader straglianehip, and of more complete cense oration of ourselves to the good of our beloved °pantry. But, we believe the man has been 'abed up to meet the great emergency, and to lead the people to a triumphant consum mation of their high hopes. But the way is difficult. President Grant, In carrying out his• theories of reform, will have to contend with secret and open oppo sition of a most formidable and powerful character. There will be a wealthy lobby to fight and discomfit. There are whisky rings, and Treasury rings, and Indianßurean rings, and railroad rings, all with their hands in the public pane l all rich, powerful and un serupulous. These must be broken up and Mattered before any successful attempt can IA made at retrenchment. The finances of the nation must be taken from the hands of *Serbia and tinkerers and fixed "an some secure end permanent basis. Security to life ailed property and the legal rights of the hum leiesticithriez Must be guaranteed everywhere.; the reconstruction laws must . be enforcedf peaceably if possible,forcibliKif necessary; the toreign policy of the country Must be 4 a more ,Alecitiad pharacter, and must be Condected.lessin 1 , 31 r. &ward's. verbose old F' me` diplonratic-fashion, and more in aceor ganCe with President Qrant's theories of few WOrds:tnid `fleCisile action. The Alabama claims,, passing from Seward's dilatory con trol, must be settled upon an equitable basis; the Indian question, serious and full of diffi culty, requires to t ic answered; the internal revenue deriartment, must be taken froni the hinds of those officers who have mismanaged it and ftlied'etiery commun ity with corruption and dishonesty ; and the whole civil service Mu tat be remodeled so that the business of the nation may be conducted by competent men, and an end put, forever, to the system by which professional Office- seekers • are placed in positions of power and trust without refer ence to-their fitness and ability. In order that President Grant may accom plish this tremendous work, to most of which he has solemnly pledged himself,we demand, in the name of the people, that he shall be unfettered and unembarrassed by any of the legislation which bad its origin in the neces sity for guarding Andrew Johnson's villainy. If President Grant is to clean the Augean stables of our civil service, the Tenure of Office bill must be repealed immediately. We believe there are politicians who fear that the President really intends retrenchment and reform, and are apprehensive of injury to their friends. The refusal of the 40th Con gress to repeal this law makes this suspicion justifiable. If it still remains in existence, every Senator who has an ally, no matter how corrupt, in office—and there are many who have such—will be able to defeat Grant's efforts to replace him with an honest man. The people of the country trust the President and desire him to make his reform completely radical, no matter what the poli ticians may desire to the contrary; anal if Senators and Reritesentatives stand between him and the fulfilment of his designs, they will be held to strict accountability for their failure to do a manifest duty. We hope that the earliest work of the new Congress will be to execute the popular will in this respect. Grant's administration will be as fruitful in physical as in other blessings to the country. It will witness the completion of the Pacific railroads, and the beginning of that enormous traffic between the Pacific and the Atlantic cities which will bind the two sections closer than ever. The land will be traversed by men of all nations, on their way to the countries Of Asia, and we shall have an immense tide of wealth from this source flowing in upon us. Perhaps Darien will be severed, and through the isthmus canal,built by American enterprise and controlled by us, will come the commerce of the world, bringing rich prosperity and rapid settlement to our Pacific coast. Under Grant's policy of perfect peace, the South will cease its discontent, and Southern men will devote themselves to the agricultural interests of the sec tion; a greater traffic than that of old times will be carried ou between the Northern and the Southern States. Northern capital will pour into the South, developing its re sources and conferring upon it such prosperity as it never had before. All of this, and per haps more, we have a right to expodt from the four years which we begin to-day. That it may be accomplished the people will use every possible effort, and if it is,we shall have cause to be grateful to the Deity who gave us wisdom to choose this man for our leader, and strength to conquer in that terrible and doubtful struggle from which we have just emerged. VICE PILEPADENT COLFAX. The American people, through their repre sentatives in Congress and by their votes last November, have so emphatically expressed their admiration of Schuyler Colfax, that the complimentary proceedings in the House yes terday were scarcely needed. Still it must have been extremely gratifying to him to re ceive, on his retirement from the Speakership to assume the Vice Presidency, so hearty an expression of good will from all parties in the House as was contained in the resolution of Judge Woodward. No one knows better how to do a courteous and graceful act than the representative of the Luzerne district. It is only when an election is pending and the suc cess alas party is uppermost in his mind, that he refrains from civil demonstrations to wards political opponents; and even at such times he cannot justly be accused of incivility. He was, of all the Democrats in the House, the most proper man to move the vote of thanks to the retiring Speaker, and his mode of doing it deserves an acknowledgment from ' those who have differed from him widely on great public questions. The rise of Mr. Colfax in public life has been remarkable. He has not been the special hero of any great political event; he has not the slightest pretension to military renown; he has had no special educational advantages; be has no large fortune, such as sometimes suffices to command, it not buy, political success; there has been nothing sensational in his career, and no public man was ever more free from demagoguism: Yet he is, at this moment, exalted by the Ameri can people to the second office in their gift, with a better apparent chance of being, be fore he is an old man, elected to the highest, than any man in the country that Can be named. The reason of this popularity •• is to be found in the uniform honesty, truth and fidelity of Mr. Colfax in every position in which he has been placed. It is a good sign when such a man, for such qualities, is selected by the people for their honors and rew aids. To be sure, be has developed fine intellectual qualities and the best statesman ship of the modem American type, which we claim to be the best type in the world, in spite of the old fogyism that contrasts it unfavorably with that which pre vails in Europe, and prevailed also in this country when the pro-slavery oligarchy ruled it. But with all this, Mr. Colfax could never have won so high a place in the confidence of the people, if it had not been for his knonn. purity of character and his perfect fidelity to the people and to the political principles he adopted in his early manhood. Newspaper men take especial pride in Vice President Colfax, because he was one of their frater nity, and it was as a journalist that he per fected the edueation in pubito again that has THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1869. proved 4PP II ;, .1400 Ant ali tb 4 9 .

FREE 104113408 SCHEILOpLIS The great lever that raising the negroes of the South out of thollegradationinto which two centuries' of sliver* bays' stink them is education. They need simply,what all others need, to make them safe and useful citizens of this great Republid. TIM generation of the coloretkrace, yet in infancy and youth, is the one upon which the great'experiment of the capabilities of the race far self-government is to be tried, and the micitinery, by which this capability is to be develope,d and tested is to be found in the bumble -school-houses which the Freedmen's Bureau and the several benevolent associations at the North have planted all through the Southern' States. These schools, and their quiet, unostenta tious but morally grand work, must not be lost sight of by the people of the North. The first impulse to establish and maintain them was a good and generous and patriotic one. It wasnot the expression of a mere senti mentalism, but the earnest recognition of the great need of the emancipated millions of the South. It was an impulse, perhaps, but there was a deep principle at the back of it, and a principle so full of good-will to those who need and deserve so much at our hands must not be permitted to die out of the hearts or minds of the people. Among the schools which have been es tablished for the education of the freedmen and their children, tone have been better managed or productive of better results than those under the direction of the Society of Friends in this city. The Friends' Associa tion has under its charge thirty-two schools and fifty-one teachers, principally located in North earolina. In the day-schools there are 2,573 scholars; in the night-schools, 635; and in the Sunday-schools, 2,962. In the Normal classes of the various schools, there are 182 pupils preparing themselves for the work of teaching. A recent tour of inspection among those schools resulted in a very favorable report of their condition, and in much encouragement to prosecute the work in which they are en gaged. The purpose of the Association is to make the schools self-supporting as rapidly as possible, and, in some lecalities,this end is almost,if not quite, accomplished. The sim ple rudiments of an English education are - accompanied by a careful training in the di rection of a more civilized order of life. The Normal classes are steadily increasing in number and advancing in proficiency, and there are already quite a number of colored teachers at work in the schools. With this measure of encouraging success, it is mortifyin - glo learn that the Association is in the utmost extremity of want of means to carry on this benevolent and patristic work. Its treasury is empty, and an urgent Call is made for the assistance needed to keep the schools open during the three months which remain before the summer vacation. This ought not to be. The S)ciety of Friends in Philadelphia,alone,is amply able to sustain this philanthropic work, and it will be a new thing in its worthy history, if its long record of good deeds, whose imprint is upon almost every charity that adorns and ennobles the City of Brotherly Love, should have its lustre dimmed by failure at this point. But the Society of Friends should not be left to do this work alone. Philadelphia is full of good men and women who, either by virtue of their own descent, or from the well-deserved con fidence which they feel in work done by the followers of William Penn, should feel glad to aid in sustaining these schools. Their sue cess will be not denominational,but national. They are part of a grand experiment to which the people of this country are bound to give a full and fair trial, and no part of the exper iment will be better tested, if the means to do it are supplied, than that which comes under the staid, quiet and thorough administration Le Society of Friends. Ex-President Johnson has been employing part of the time he could spare from the work of pardoning assassins, conspirators, traitors, counterfeiters and thieves, in writing a bitter and malignant tirade agiinst the representatives of the American people in Congress. It is a disgusting display of egotism and falsehood, every assertion in which could be disproved if it were worth while to undertake it. If there had been time he could have been impeached and con victed for it; but in his present degradation it is not worth making much of. Its inso lence is the more marked from its being ad dressed to "the People of the United States," who, by the late elections for President and Congress, have again expressed their detesta tion of bias and Ida "policy." A special election for a City Councilman took place in the Eighth Ward of Harrisburg yesterday. Last year a Democrat (W. F. Oster, who died lately,) was chosen. At the' election, yesterday, P. H. Ryan, Republican, was chosen by one -majority. The Demo cratic organ in Harrisburg said yesterday morning that if a Republican was elected it would be "impossible to elect a majority of Democrats to the City Council for years." The event proves that Harrisburg is to be governed by the Republicans, and we offer them our congratulations. Sales Meat Cl/nen—it. l'hoinns di Sons, A1:14,710241M11.8.—MA1L151 Kb. N.

Beth branches of - Congress were in session thrOughent the whole of tut night, and until daylight this morning, The Capitol presented a very interesting ap nee, and thousands of peep* consisting o a motley and mixed assem bly of elegantly dress (Wee; volunteer soldiers in various colored uniforms, from the plain way to the more dully, brilliant essarnmes of military Zonavria, and persons re presenting every nationality, thronged the halls, the corridors, the galleries and the well-lighted dome-until long after midnight had passed. The streets were crowded with military organizations parading and moving In all directions. Bands were constantly serenading prominent men at dif ferent hotels, and everywhere resounded the strains of national Prude and the tramp of volun teer companies who came to participate in the greateit - branguratlon known to our history. Thousands of people were unable to obtain places to lodge, and these wandered through streets singing patriotic airs. CONGRATULATIONS TO GRANT PROM PRUSSIA. Directly after General Grant reached his office at headviartere to-day, the following cable tele gram was placed in his hand : "Masten 9th, 1869.—T0 President Grant, Washington: "In honor of the man and the day,three eneers for the President ! [Signed.] 'Members of the Berlin Exchange, Prussia.' Pm= Mayas." SCENES OF 711111 MOILICLIWO At an early hour this morning the whole city was astir with people moving towards the Capi tol and the vicinity of the White House to get good positions to see the inauguration and pro cession. About 4 o'clock this morning the weather, which on yesterday was beautiful, changed, and s slight rain storm set in, which increased so steadily as to lead to the belief that a heavy storm was likely to prevent the inauguration from tak ing place outside of the Senate Chamber. Not withstanding the rain, the different companies commenced to move towards the localities where the procession was to form at 10 o'clock. 25,000 INople were estimated to be on Pennsylvania Means alone, and three times as many probably on the other streets. The colored Zonavea were the first to move to wards the White Howe, and their marching at tracted much notice. A company of fifty colored men, who walked all the , way from North Caro Una to WILMS the inauguration, elicited much attention. SCENES IN TIIE SENATE CHAMBER The Senate, after enjoying a recess from half past three o'clock A. M., met again at ten o'clock Ina forenoon. But few Senators were present,nud the time was spent in the passage of backward bills. The galleries began to fill at an early , hour, and by ten o'clock were packed with ladies and gen tlemen who had been provided with tickets of ad mission. AU without the much coveted cards were rigidly excluded, and therefore the crowd, though great, was not so large as to render cam . fort unattainable. The ladles' brilliant costumes contrasted vividly with the dark Peals, and their tongues would not be still. The crash at the eastern door of the Senate wing, through which alone people could get admission to the Capitol, was fearful, and many ladies testified, by their screams, that'they had beccime frightened by the tremen dous pressure. Quite a time after their arrival the galleries was spent In repairing damages. So great was their clatter that Senator Trumbull singly got up and notified the people that the galleries would be cleared if the noise did not sub side, and for a short time there was comparative stillness. • The Senate Chamber was filled at 11.20 A. M. The diplomatic gallery was reserved for the families W and , friends of the foreign ministers, these gentlemen themselves having been assigned Geste on' the floor of the Senate Chamber. 11 was aeon filled with a brilliant assemblage. The hdief used their opera glasses with unremitting pertinacity. Continued in the next Edition. Tao Inauguration. Itteiarrutdatoe of the Associated Preas;] WAssinrerow, March 4.—The day dawned in striking contrast to the bright'sunshine and varm atmosphere of yesterday. Dull clouds obscered the sun, and a disagreeable rain which commenced falling during the night somewhat disappointed the hopes, but in no respect dam pened the ardor of the many thbuermda who are 'here for the purpose of enjoying the grand seance of , the day, end," of engaging in She important_:and interesting ceremonies It au• early hour this morning the route - along which the procession of escort is to pass was, thronged with a multitude of peoole,who availed themeelves of every position presenting itself, door Maye, and on Intionieo and portions, from which a view of the parade eaunbtalned.

The first appearance of troops at 'Headquarters this morning was Company E, °t i the - Pith:lL B.' Csvaity, General Grent'abodlr"gtard, under eons'• mend of Brevet Lieut. Col. Mason. They- were heeded by..their fine regimental band, and . -1111 well-mounted and finely equipped. They drew up in line in • front of Ileadgnarters.: Ohortly after 9 o'clock Gen: Grant arrived. In his carriage, a fine , open park phaetons SCOOT*. ponied' by Gen. Rawlings, of hie staffoind mbdiately proceeded' to his office, the cavalry, band playieg lively music on` his arrived. Gen. Giant was attired in citizen's dices. While the procession was forming, and,heleed, before any , part of the earliest ' of the organiza-; dens who were to take part In lila reached the various points of rendezvoue, an enormous crowd of pedestrians had pushed past . the counter current aetting towards the White House, and made their way nearly to the entrance of the Capitol. Lines of , soldiers and policemen, however, were stationed a considerable distance from the various doors and approaches, and formed an impassable barrier to all except the comparatively low (about two thousand) whose official position or acquaintance with the dispensing powers had procured them a ticket of admission. The members of his staff had all arrived in ad vance of him. Vice President elect Colfax reached headqnas , tete shortly after 10 o'clock, and went imme diately into Gen. Grant's office, and afters cordial greeting with the ?resident elect and the mem bers of his staff, entered into conversation with the gentlemen present on ordinary topics. In the meanwhile - the 'troops 'and military organi zations had commenced forming at the different points from which they were to join in the pro ceesion, and the crowds of spectators upon the streets more and more dense, crowding every nook and corner, perching upon sign boards, filling porticos and windows, and even house tips in the intensity of their anxiety to view the grand parade. The windows of eveay bourse along the route were filled. At the moment that the Presidentelect was' moving ito his carriage, the clouds, which bad become less dense, gave way for a very few instants and the sun burst forth in pandour,evolv lug a general exclrunetton. For some minutes it continued to shine, and made a gorgeous pic ture of the starting of the procettainm As it moved off the cavalry band struck gaily up "Hail to the Chlel,7 and the scene became thor oughly brilliant. Just then the booming of the signal gun from Dupont's battery, stationed along Lafayette Square, echoed forth the summons that the pro cession was on the move. The regular and other troops were drawn up along the Square and came to a present aims as tne carriage containing the President elect, with his head uncovered, drove slowly along. Immense cheers rent the air on every side, and as the whole parade swept into line the scene was of unparalleled description. The lively music from the different bands, the stirring roll of the drums and the brilliant uni forms of the troops, notwithstanding the clouds that hid the sun from view gave a brilliancy to the scene that could not have been anticipated. The wide avenue presented a panoramic view that can hardly be appreciated by anydescription that could be given of it. Fair women waved flags and handkerchiefs as the parade moved on. The mass on the sidewalks was immense: Shop windows had been deserted of their wares to furnish accommodations for ladies to see the procession. Porticos and platforms were impro vised and the whole scene was magnificent. The procession is now nearing the Capitol in eight grand divielons. The first, under command of Colonel Georoe W. Wallace, escorts the President elect and Vice-President elect, and is composed of regular troops, with fine bands, wearing imposing uniforms and equipments. Cavalry, infantry, artillery and marines are in .ne. Next comes the division under command of the chief deputy marshal, CoL Magruder. with fine volunteer:military organizations,among them the Washington Grays and National Guards of Phil adelphia; the Albany Burgess Corps, with their imposing uniforms; Baxter's Fire Zouavee, of Philadelphia; the Lancaster Fencibles; the Eagle Zouaves. of Buffalo; and the Lincoln and Butler Zona res. The last two yarn colored organiza tions. The third division, under command of General Gallatin Lawrence, is composed of prominent civil officers of the Government, Foreign Minia tem Grant and Colfax electors, officers of the Army and Navy, Marine Corps, corporate au thorities of this city and Georgetown, etc. The fourth division, Major Howe, commanding, is composed of Republican political organiza tions of this city and elsewhere. The fifth division, Gen. Jas. Ei,kn command ing, Is composed of Soldiers' and Sailors' unions, Grant and Colfax clubs, Grant Invincibles and similar organizations. The other divisions were composed 'of the United States Fire Brigade and Its visitors, and the City Fire Department and their visitors. Presi dent Grant will, among others, receive the firemen at the Executive Mansion after the Inauguration. The head of the procession reached the Capi tol, and the President-elect enters to take the oath and deliver his inaugural address. The throng of human beings in front exceeds any thing of the kind ever - before witnessed. The ar rangements for the procession and disposal of the troops and civil organizations are well car ried out. The wide avenue was totally unob structed, and the procession moved without the slightest hindrance. Every now and then the sun emerges from the clouds and lends its radiance to the scene. The firemen were heartily cheered for their fine appearance and the gay decorations of their car ries. The Sheridan Guard of Wilmington, Del., also made a fine show. In fact there can be little, if any, discrimination, the whole parade making so splendid a feature. The procession was about one hour in passing a given point. About 11.80 the unsuccessful attempt to take up the bill to repeal the Tenure-of-Office act was fellowed by a little period of inaction in the Senate, and as there appeared to be no further business to transact, or at least no disposition to do anything else, , apparently, by common con sent, the Senators began to chat with each .other and change their seats, and in'a few minutes the desks to the right, hand side of the chamber were left vacant for the occupation of the diplomatic visitors, and other guests, who kept constantly coming in. The Diplomats however entered In a body, and attracted immediate attention by the splendor of their uniform', and by their dignified bearing. All the legations wore represented, and the min isters of the principal foreign' asthma were all present except Baron Gerolt, of Prussia,who was detained at home by sickness. li Soon afterwards a buzz of cadt t called at tention to the appearance, at a sir, of the President and Tice President-elect, o entered arm. in-arm. Almost at the same moment, and before they bad reached the open space in front sli,the chair, -the door at the main entrance was tlWirn open, the Justices of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Chase, clad in his robes of office, entered the Senate Shamber and walked in an imposing proeession down the centre aisle and took the seats prepared for them in front of and facing the rostrum. General Grant bad meanwhile been conducted to a chair immediately in front of the Clerk's desk, and sat there facing the audience, the tar get for several thousand curious eyes, whose gaze he seemed,to all appearanos, neither to siold nor to realize, but exhibiting his usual sell:possession and unassuming demeanor.' - A Hat to the left of that prepared for General Grant was in readiness for President.

The presiding officer baying RDIROUlleed that all was now in readiness for the inauguration of the Vice President cleat, Mr. Colfax advaneed'up the glees of the rotunda, and ' facing the iresiding officer, took the usual oath of office, which ' the latter, administered.

Andy Refuges to Patticipate Grant's HIS VIEWS ON ALL THE GREAT QUESTIONS. REPUDIATION CONDEMNED THE GREAT QUESTION OF HE FAVORS THE NEW WASHINGTON, March 4.—The rain poured steadily down during the time the various organ izations were getting into line between the Treaaury Department and Georgetown. Not daunted by the - weather, howem, the people continued to crowd the streets, watching with great calmness every movement made. At quarter to eleven, Chief Marshal General Webb rode to. General Omit% headquarters and reported the procession ready to move. Waiting for the appearance of the Pzesidezt elect, around headquartentwas a large crowd assembled to see Grant make hie appearance. A full company of cavalry and a mounted band were drawn up is line opposite the headquarters, to Move into line with their Commander-in-Ctdef. Up to this time the rain had been falling, but suddenty, as if Providence wished to mark this dny with Nth approvai,the sun showed its golden rays from behind the dark clouds. A cheer went up from the assembly at this prospective change in the weather, and almost at the instant that General Grant Came out of the army headquar ters the rain ceased and the sun poured Its rays forth In great splendor. General Grant was attired in civilian's plain black suit, with Bismarck colored gloves. He took a seat in his own open carriage. having General Rawlings by his side. Next came Speaker Colfax, Admiral Bailey and !Senators Yates, Cragin, MeCreery, and the House Com mittee. The basal struck up "Hall to the Chief;" and the party drove to Pennsylvania avenue and took their place at the head of the procession. A single gun was tired, and the procession started. Upon arriving opposite to the White House a taut was made to await the coming of President Johnson. After some little delay a message came from the White Honae to the effect that Johnson did not want to ride in a carriage with the procession, and with many surmiees on the part of the people at this strange proceeding, the procession moved on. The streets were with greatest difficulty kept clear of people by the police, and everywhere Grant was greeted with cheers. The scene cannot well be described in this brief despatch. The windows of every house along the route were Oiled with ladies,who waved handker chiefs and flags. To all these manifestations of goqd will General Grant rose and bowed on each side as the carriage moved along. The marching of the various military bodies was very fine, considering' the dreadful condition of the streets. The regulars were fully equalled by the volunteer organizations from Philadelphia and Albany. The Colored Zonaves made a fine appearance, with full ranks and good drilL The marine and artillery corps were striking features of the military part of the procession, and made a beautiful display. The companies belonging to the District, and the several companies from Philadelphia, includ ing the Good Will, Harmony, Taylor, Mantua Hook and Ladder, with beautifully decorated ap paratus, formed a very handsome addition to tie parade. The whole line of the parade was densely crowded; the windows, sidewalks and tops of bonus were all filled with enthusiastic crowds, cheering and waving handkerchiefs. The police arrangements were excellent, and there was no disturbance., Thero were some apprehensions of difficulty In consequence of the presence of such large numbers of colored troops and other organiza tions; but they were wlthoutfoundation. On the arrival of the head of the procession sit the Capitol. General Grant and Mr. Colfax. were conducted to the moms assigned theitt'amid loud cheers from the immense crowd. The Diplomatic gallery was reserved for the families and Mends of foreign ministers, these gentlemen themselves having been assigned seats on the floor of the Senate. It was coo; filled with a brillituat assemblage,' and the ladies used their opera-glassee with pertinacity, In the front mitt were Mrs. Thornton, wife of the British Minister, and further back was Mrs. General Kilpatrick. Seats in the front wive of the ladle& gallery, next to the Diplomatic, had been reserved for the families. of Mr. Wade, Mr. Colfax and General Grant. Mr. Colfax's family caine early and eat just behind General Grant's sexis t .. . Mrs. Wade was dressed in black, except that she had purple strings' on her bonnet. Mrs. Colfax sat'next to her, and was dressed in a cuir-oolored Bilk and a white bonnet. Both she andArs. Wade took great interest in the proceedings, and fanned and spied unremittingly. The galleries now began ti t get fuller and fuller and the heat compe ll ing mny of klig ladles to lay aside their outer garments. the Yilliant colors of their dreamt shone out more than ever. The prevailing colors in the gallery were blue, green and white; blue and green for the dresses and •whltu for the , bonnets.

Mr. , Johnson, contrary to custom, refused to come to the Capitol, but remained at the Riectt thieltanelon. AN ATTEMPT AT BIIRINEES. Soon alter eleven, Garrett Davis moved to take up the Tenure of Office repeal, but the motion was lost by a yea and nay vote of 14 to 25. This Was the last thing of imports* done in the &nate, and at half-past eleven e committee was appointed to visit the Prealdcmt, and inform him that Congress was ready to apron.

Grant and his escort took arrest in front of theileurnal Clerk of the Senate. Mr. Colfax advanced to the presiding officer, and Mr. Wade then said: ' 4 ,‘Thei,Vice President of the United States will adinince and be inaugurated." Mr. Colfax stepped up to the desk and spoke as tollows: t‘lilereators: In entering upon the duties of this chamber, tothe performance of which I have been erdled by the people of the United States, I realize fully the delicacy as well as the responsi bility of the position. Presiding over a body whose members are in so large a degree my Borders image, and not chosen by the body itself, I shall certainly need your as sistance and support and your generous forlonence and confidence. But tendering to you a faithful and Inflexible impartiality in the ad ministration of your ruled, and being determined to co-operate with you in making the delibera ttons,of the Semite worthy not only of its historic renown, but also of its importance as a part of the Government, I am now ready to take the oath of office. The oath of office was then administered to Mr. Colfax by Mr. Wade, who immediately declared the Fortieth Congress adjourned sine die. TUE NEW CONORESS. Mr. Colfax called the Senate to order, and announced that the Senators elect would be sworn in. Their names were called and they advanced four at a time and took the oath. When this was done the Sergeant-at-Arms announced the order of proceeding to the platform east of the ro tunda. The President and Vice-President, Supreme Court, Diplomatic Corps tiled out, and the crowd in the galleries at the same time made a rush and the hallo and corridors were, for a few minutes, in inextricable confusion. GRANT ON. THE PLATFORM. A few minutes after General Grant had disap peared from the chamber, immense cheers from without announced his appearance, and almost Immediately the, thunder of cannon, shaking the Fond marble of the whole Capitol,announeed tha t he had commenced delivering his Inaugural. AL ter moving on' to the platform and getting ar ranged, Grantstepped forward *lid commenced the delivery of his Inaugural. !t this moment the bells throughout the city commenced ringing, while the voice of Grant was preventdd from being heard by the assembly by the constant roar of artillery stationed near the Capitol. READING THE INAUGURAL. The reading of the inaugural occupied about 15 minutes, and its sentiments were frequently ap plauded by the Senators, members and others who were fortinate enough to get on the plat form. THE INAIIGI7ItAL ADDERS& Citizens of ale United Beaks: Your suffrage having elevated me to the eau) of President of the United States, I have, in con formity with the Constitution of our country, taken the oath -Of office prescribed therein. I have taken this oath without mental reservation, and with the determination to do, to the best of my ability, all that it requires of me. The respon sibilities of the position I feel, but accept them without fear. The office has come to me unsought. I commence its duties untrammeled. I bring to it a conscientious desire and determination to M I it to the beet of my ability, to the satisfaction o f the people. On all the leading questions agita.. ting the public mind I will always express my views to Congress, and urge them aceo'rding to my judgment, and when I think it advisable I will exercise the constitutional privilege of inter posing a veto to defeat measures which I oppose. But all laws will be faithfully executed •whether they meet my approval or not. I shall CM all subjects Were, a policy to recommend, but none to enforce against the will of the people. Laws are to govern all Alike, those opposed to as well as those who favor them. I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obno)done lairl so effective as their stringent execution. The country having just emerged horn a great rebellion, manrirttestions qW come before it fox settlement in the next four years which' precedieg adminietrationli have never bad to deal , with. in meeting thee."

Why, it looks as though. Providence had bestowed upon us a strong box, the . preclotia metal looked up in the sterile mountains of the far West, which we are now forging the key to inlock, to meet the 'very con tingency that is now upon us. Ultimately, it • may be necessary ,to increase the facilities to reach these riches, and it may be necessary also that the general Govdrnment should give its aid to secure this accent, 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 pay ment is in abeyance the prudent business Man is careful about contracting debts payable in the distant future. The nation should follow the same rule. A prestrate commerce it to be rebuilt and all industries encouraged. The young ; men of the country, , those who front their age mnet be. its rulers twentylve years hence, have a peculiar interest in maintaining- the national honor. A moment's • re flection as to what will be otir .com manding' influence among the nations of the earth in their day if they meanly tree to themselves, should inspire them with national pride. All divisions, geographical, political and religious, can join in this com mon sentiment. How the public debt is to be • paid or specie payment resumed is not so important as that a plan should be adopted and acquiesced in. A united determination to de is worth more than divided councils upon' the method of doing. Legislation upon this subject may not be necessary now, nor even advisable, but it will be , when the - civil laws are more fully restored in all parts of the country, and trade resumes its wonted channels. It will be my endeavor to execute the taws in good faith, to collect - the revenues assessed, and to have them properly Se counted for and economically disbursed. I will,to the best of my ability, appoint to office those only who will carry out this design. In regard to for eign policy I would deal with nations as equita ble law requires individuals to deal with each other, and I would protect the law-alibiing citi zen,whether of native or foreign birth, wherever his rights are jeopardized, or the flag of our country floats. I would respect the rights of all nations, demanding equal respect for our own. It others depart from this rale in their dealings with us, we may be compelled to follow their precedent. The proper treatment of the original occupant of this land, the Indian, is one deserving of care ful study. I will favor any course towards them which tends to their civilization, Christianization and ultimate citizenship. 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 excluded from its privileges in any State. It seems to me very desirable that this question should be settled now, and I entertain the hope and express the desire, that it may be by the ratification -of the 16th article of amendment to the Constitution. In conclusion, I ask patient forbearance, one towards another, throughout the land, and a de termined 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 Almigh God in behalf of this consummation.
