EVENING BULLETIN.
Tharsday, March 4, 1869.
THE NEW ERA.
To-day the Republic enters upon a new
era of its existence. 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 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.

Waatneovon, March 4.—The great day for the
hasehltrstion of ULYSSES S. GRANT as 'Natt
iest of the United States has arrived, and Wash
ington was never so crowded with people of all
kinds, eager to witness the ceremonies.
TUN MONT SWORN INAUGURATION.
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.

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

the hearty plaudits of the surging multitude.
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.' -

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

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

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

with its paying , capacity 25 yews agar and
calculate what tt probably will be , twenty-five'
years hence, who can doubt the' feasibthty
paying every dollar we now pay for tuielesit Inge
ries ? 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.
