The ro-oleotlon of Abraham Lincoln was the, great event of which his reinauguratlon .was but the formal seal. The ceremony that conferred on Mm again the title and authority of the President of the United States reinstates the polioy of war till the rebellion is oraslied; of military and civil, enmity to slavery; of the supremacy of national sway over the power of States; of revolution and regeneration. All the pomp of the celebration was insignificant compared with the profound meaning of the'event. Amidst the noise of .cannon, the shouts and oonfnslon of a multitude, the voice of the President, in again taking the oath, kept for four years so well, was scarcely hoard, but In this simple act the nation was formally repledged to Its giand and terrible work. JOHN CAMPBELL For one week, from all parts of the country, thou* sands of people had ponred Into Washington. Every State sent its delegation. The North in vaded the capital—an army with banners, but weaponless—nor was the South without her re pentant prodigals. Rebel deserters, jnst from the iront.'were not an unfrequont sight in the streets. The gray uniform mingled with the bine. A large number of rebel prisoners, under strong guard, formed accidentally a part of the great procession, giving to it somewhat of the character of a Roman pageant, when oaptlve enemies added by their misery to the triumph. Every train of’oars oame loaded with life. On Friday night Washington was re-populated; hotels, private houses, streets were thronged. Men sought lodgings even in the galleries of the Senate and House, and long after midnight, while the last hours of the Thirty-eighth session were passing, they slumbered undisturbed by the busy scene beneath them. At no previous Inauguration had the capital received a multitude so various and enormous. It welcomed all, but could poorly entertain thousands of its guests. Before dawn a fierce storm deluged the city. All the morning a low sky, raining dismally, overhung the Capitol. But almost from dawn the throngs be gan to pour towards the great dome. Washington was, as usual, all mud and marble—the grandest architecture on the continent, the meanest and dir- tiest streets. The statue of Liberty,'far away fn ’tee'nppor air, beheld from her marvellous height myriads of patriots hopelessly enslaved in mud, whom no emancipation proclamation could, freo. In Washington mud was first created. Mad was eve rywhere; the Oapltoi stood entrenehed in its bog; mud was carried even up totheohair oi the Senate; mud was on all feet, splashed over all dresses, Into many eyes and months; mud was In many brains ; and even in the speeches of some grave Senators and Representatives, ere the stroke of noon abo lished the Thirty-eighth Congress, there was mud. Thosewhowouldimaglno the scene most begin with a morass. Struggling through this lake of mad, tens of thousands or people pushed their way to theuapl tol, eager to obtain places to see the procession, and obtain a good view of the Inaugural ceretno' nlee, on the East Portleo. But of these, several thousands, happy holders of tickets admitting to the Senate Chamber, hastened to the north wing, and passing through a double line "of soldiers, massed themselves against the marble walls. The arrange, ments for admlSßlon were wretched. No trouble was taken to arrange the crowd, to guide It through guarded lines to the single door, but every man and woman was lelt to struggle vainly for admit tance. Ladles alone were admitted at first, and their eßeorts were hustled through masses of men apparently impenetrable. Senators and their, families, by the help of a step-ladder and a few policemen, were lifted through a side window. These, were fortunate, but those in the main crowd not only suffered much disarray and mortification, but sometimes bodily hurt. By su" perhuman exertion one lady was carried Insensible from the very threshold, baok through the crowd to the open air, where it Is. to#>e hoped the rain re stored her. At length, after an hour’s struggle to gain places and maintain them, the doors were opened to gentlemen, and the eager crowd rushed into find the galleries filled with ladles, and the lobby doors Impregnable. These wretched beings wandered abont the passages, like Peris outside of Paradise, nnable to hear or see, and tantalized by their useless tickets. ness was lost In the multitude of angels. The five thousand wives of Solomon did not seem so fair to the wisest of mefi as these to the beholder. A splendid rainbow ringed the Senate; It was charm ing to behold the fairest daughters ol America thus honoring, the solemn ceremonials of the Republic. Above was beauty, below was strength. "The Reporters 1 Gallery was not ailed. About thirty journalists were present, and It Is am Instance of the bad management of the detailß that, while many ladles were Anally admitted to this part ol the Chamber, many reporters, Including the editor of a prominent New York journal, were rigidly ex cluded, The representatives of the Philadelphia papers were generally fortunate, but when It Is re membered that every leading paper In the loyal States had Its correspondents at the oapltal, It is singular that so little oare was taken for their ac commodation. The neglect was Inexcusable. At half past eleven o’clock the Senate seemed to be tailing a recess, though keeping up the pretence of work. The members had the appearance of a body Of business men Indolently discussing some unimportant matter. As the hour of twelve ap* preached the stir Increased. A committee was appointed to wait npon the President. It Is ten minutes of twelve. Senators from sofaß and ante-rooms resume theft seats. A buzz runs through the galleries, with a general trembling of the' rainbow. Then a hush, as a mes* senger enters and announces to the Senate that he bears a message from the House; intently llstenlng ) we learn that the House has concurred with the . Senate In the passage of the bill for the relief of Charles Anderson. We wonder who Charles An derson Is; whether he knows that he is relieved, and if he does not think the passage of this bill more Important than the Inauguration. Some of the gentlemen In the Reporters’ Gallery continue to write rapidly page after page; others look through opera glasses at the ladles. Baring this time the Judges of the Supreme Court, In flowing robes, with the stately figure of Chief Justice Chase at their head, have entered and taken their seats. The Diplomatic Corps, radiant In gold, blue, green, and red—some In fantastic court dress unfamiliar to America—have entered. The members of the OaW net have taken their plaoes. Vice President Ham*' Un hag made bis farewell speech to the Senate matter and manner excellent. Now his successor, Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, addresses the great body ovef Whicu, 101 fonr Y ea M ite lB elected to pra side. jin a far-heard, Y® 1 ®?; rendered almost Inaudible, and then raised by the Inspiration of the moment, he announces to the Ameriean people the great truths of their sever relgnty, and the responsibility to .them or .the Go. vernment. His proud announcement that he does not owe his high position to the acoldent of birth seems to Impress some of the foreign ministers, anxious witnesses ora. scene unfamiliar In European Courts. Tennessee then receives the attention of the orator, whose patriotic address, bad It been de livered to a vast multitude In the , open air, would probably have aroused thunders ol applause, but by the Senate was beard In profound and dignified si lence. The solemn oath was then taken, and before the new Vice President assumed his seat, all eyes were fixed upon the tall figure of Abraham Lincoln, who, with the weight of four terrible years of war on his brow, paler and thinner than' of old, enters by the door opposite the Vice President, and quietly takes the scat assigned to him. The Secretary of the Senate reads the proclamation of the President, and, after other business Is briefly transacted, the order or procession Is announced. Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Johnson walk arm in arm away, and' the vast throng hastens to the East Por- Hco. There they are met, as a sea by an ocean, by the multitude which chokes up all the streets around the Capitol. abound the capifol MONDAY, MARCH C, 1885. r.PKCTAL REPORT FOE THE PBH6B. THE CAPITAL.

THI2 INAUGURATION CONCOURSE, Here was erected the platform on which the for mal ceremony of the day took place, itwas square built immediately In front of the portico, and high enough to allow the procession from the Senate- Chamber to step from the marble floor of the portico without difficulty. -Boring all the morning it stood there, bleat, and wet, and damp. Without, roof or canopy the drizzling rate-drops of insinuating fine ness pattered down npon It. The patient throng of ladies and gentlemen who crowded around it, as they regarded the heavens, the platrorm and the yellow, waxy, sticky mnd in which they stood, won dered whether the inaugnration would really take place there. The heavens were stolid and gray, and the rain fell down steadily. The-Capltol stood between, them and the light in the west, which promised sunshine-rdoubts were fast growing into false certainty. Many looked at their apparel—the best perhaps they had in the.world—and sorrowed. Fashionably-dressed ladies, whose toilette had cost them anxious care and patient hours, regarded their silks, velvets, and dismantled bonnetß, bespattered all over with yellow mnd, with sad eyes. All this pergonal discomfort was for naught, .ter If the rate continued to fall the Senate Chamber, and the favored ones within, would witness the ce remony without tlie.probation of marching through mud and descending water, or standing like statues in t£e conglomerate. At eleven o'clock ihedoudSF emptied themselves In flowing streams. The rate came down unmercifully, and the people, who had defied the “ drizzle,” fled before'xthe “ flood.” Most of them found damp, clammy, and uncomfortable shelter to the gloomy oolonades. But with this ef fect the clouds dissipated themselves, and the'yellow western light began to roll away the vapor in a constantly-widening circle. Soon the gray pall In the zenith was broken through, andthe sun sent down his myriad rays to bring back joy and par- tlal comfort to skivering thousands. Ike mad was etlll there, to be sore, bat the dampness left the air by magic, the pavements began to dry, and blank, dissatisfied, rueful faces to grow, like na ture, radiant with smiles. This burst of sunlight, just before the ceremony, and while the President was in the Senate Chamber, was accepted as a boon by all, and as an omen by many. The first term of the President had been full of trials, donbts, and fears. How true the character of the day and the troubles of tire people, during the early part of It, to the record of the early part of the Presl. dent’s administration. But (may tho augury be fulfilled), just as he entered on his new term, the skies grew bright like the country’s pros pects. The heavens grew bright id the west, so did the country’s hopes grow bright with Sherman’s and Thomas’ victories in the West. The light spread gradually but surely towards the oentre of the heavens. So did Sherman’s talent, and the fear of his advancing might extend even to Rich mond, the centre of rebel power. But while the light was in the west, there was a sudden glory in the zenith, in the centre. 11 That,” said an old man, still enthusiastic, still patriotic, though muddy and wet, as he pointed to the gathering glory above and tie gray rolling hack everywhere before it, “ that’s Blobmond, and the gray Is flying before tbe Union— heaven’s own—blue.” And his idea, poetical; as it may be, was entertained and petted by many a grave man and fair woman In that vast aoneourse. THB BOtDIERY. At an early morning hour a large number of troops were marched into the plateau and distri buted overit. They remained at their posts through all tbe rain, standing in the mad with all the unde monstrative patience of military discipline. When ,the time for the appearance of the Presi dent bad almost arrived, the cavalry were ranged as a guard .to - keep Hew Jersey avenue clear of straggling vehicles and sight-seekers, while most of the troops were massed In open order In front Of the portico, and remained In .halting to receive the President and his escort with presented arms. The number of soldiers was much larger than usual» but this Is explained by the fact that many of the rebel deserters who are now swarming in the city were looked upon with suspicion. Although there was no reason to believe that these men, who had come into onr lines with professions of penitence on their Ups, really carried bate and treachery in their hearts, it was deemed host, as a measure of pru dence, to guard against anything even within the range of probability only. In case of any demon stration, the clerks of the departments, who have formed themselves into an “emergency” regiment, were instructed, to immediately assemble at the Treasury Department for active service. TUB GRAND PBOCESSIOH. notwithstanding tbe liquid condition of the streets, and the dreary prdspeot of the weather,* large bodies of civilians and Boldlers at an early hour were seen hastening to their different rendez vous, long before the time appointed. The rain poured down in torrents. Umbrellas were brought Into requisition, but the greater majority of the countless throng, of ail ages, sexes, colors, and con ditions that lined the sidewalks along the route bravely buffetted the storm, unmlndrul of Its piti less pelting aud penetrating power. In the immedi ate vloinity of the White House an Immense crowd was collected to witness the President’s departure. The entrances were guarded, and a strong force or police was In attendance to clear a passage-way for the 'different delegations and olvio societies that were to form in Une at this point. The different bodies, both civil and military, com menced to form on Twentieth, Nineteenth', Eigh teenth, Seventeenth, Sixteenth, and Fifteenth streets, and Pennsylvania avenue, between 9 and 10 o’clock, in the following order: Tho marshal-in*ohief, his aids, marshals, and marshals representing States, met at the oorner of Sixteen* and-a-half street and Pennsylvania avenue, near the War Department.

They had with them thafr hoBO carriage, ambulance, and atßamor. XUo latter was gaily decorated, whilst the ambu lance was the themeef all praise. Nothing, like it was ever seen In Washington, and It was pronounced perfectly Beautiful. It was adorned by flags, and also the badges of the different army corps. They also carried with them a beautiful new silver horn, which had been presented to them beforo leaving Philadelphia. Their steamer was drawn by four horses. The whole made a very creditable dlßplay. . THU “ CHROHICLE, JUHIOIt.” Another feature In the procession was a large truck, on. which was mounted a job-printing press, which was at work during the procession, printing a small paper, oalled the Chronicle, Junior, issued from the Daily Chronicle office. It was printed on letter-sheet paper. The first page contained an in augural poem, which was dedicated to Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Ten nessee. The second, third, and fourth pages were filled with.natters relative to the inauguration. It was fieely distributed to the thousands that lined the sidewalks, and the demand was oftentimes greater than the supply. The truck was neatly or namented with flags, and was drawn by six power ful horses. THE StAHIHES. A large detachment of marines, preceded by a band, marched next In order, with masterly preci sion, and received high praise from the multitude, _,COLOR3D TROOPS. The colored troops followed the marines. They were preceded by a drum corps. They consisted of a battalion of the 48th. U. S.

They were preceded by a new, handsome, silk and satin banner, decorated with bullion and gold lace, and containing a portrait of some colored celebrity. A large wreath of evergreen, artistically arranged, -was also in the line. QTIAKTKHHASTISIi’S nSFASTMBHT OF OISSBOBO. This, department turned out In Btrong numbers, mounted, and they, in oonneetion with a large ca valcade of citizens, brought up the rear of .the pro cession. ;The procession reached the Capitol ground shortly'aftexUrplve o’clock. THE IKAWBIJBATIOir CEREMONY. At‘about twenty minutes past 12 the President and escort appeared. The escort was marshaled in the following order: The Marshal of the District of Columbia. Ex-presidents arm ex-Vico Presidents. The Supreme Oourt of the United States. The Sergeant-at-Armß of the Senate. The Committee of Arrangements. The President of the United states, the President elect. The Vice President and the Secretary of the Senate. . „ The members of the Senate. The Diplomatic Corps. Beads of Departments, Governors of States and Territories, the Mayors of Washington and Qeorge town, and other persons who had been admitted to the floor of the Senate Chamber. The sun was shining brightly upon as varied and beautiful a scene as was ever witnessed at any pre ceding Inauguration. In the background were the square, with, its skeleton leafless trees, and our Blue- clad troops, their polished gunbarrels, and keen, bright bayonets flashing back the sunlight in blending r&JSf “Between them end wolrtlery were ,ihe processionists in their neat uniforms. The steam engines, in their shining brass, seemed masses of molten fire. Then, surging beneath the platform, was the mbtloygatheringof all conditions and degrees —distinguished men from every oity and every State; military men of rank; solid, important citizens, elbowing the lowliest or compressed ggg gaslNfl by negro w?inea gaijdßy ffi-baj4a in all the glory of blue, yellow, Mid red. But on the avenues .and reaching beyond the eye were masses of people hopelessly cqt Off from'hearing the inaugural ad- dress,'and from seeing any of the eeremonieswm the President, all of which they may have travelled thousands of miles to do. When the President ap peared on the Portieo, in full view of all, there was a cheer went up—such a oheer!—as If the .nation Itself had.broken out in one glad cry of welcome to him who has guided us so well through four hitter and dangerous years of war! The en thusiasm of the occasion was more than ordi nary, for it must be remembered that there was many a stentorian shout came from people standing knee-deep in miserable mud. The Presi dent appeared thoughtful, as if the oates of his high trust had weighed on him heavily, but’ there was the same good-nature smiling In his eye, and the same fixity of purpose limned on his counte nance, Be advanced to the platform and took Us seat, and was imitated by the distinguished per sonages accompanying him. Chief Justice Chase, in his robes of office, passed forward to the railing in front, followed by the President. Here the bath was administered, the President enunciating clearly every word: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully exe cute the office of the President of the United States, and will, to the best of myahtuty, protect and-de fend the Constitution of the United States.” A bup ran through the crowd during this solemn act, and as the last word was spoken there was some swaying, caused by the anxiety of every one to get near enough to hear tho inaugnral. order was soon restored, and the President prepared to deliver his address. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. • Allow that this Interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and •tend this Interest was the object lor whiwkhe ta rgents would rend the Union, even by wHlPwhile e Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of It. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease With or even before the. conflict itself should cease. ■ . loow nn -m»ior triumph, and a result less fundamental and astonishing. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same Gad,And each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men. shrink! dare to ask a just God’s assistance to wringing their bread from the sweat of other.men’s faces. c • But let us judge not, that we be.-not judged. The frayera of both could not be answered ;i that of either has been answered fully. "Tbo Almighty has bis own purpose: “Wo unto the world beoause of t ffences, for it must needs be that offences come, but wo to that man by whom the offence cometh.” If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offences whioh, in the of God, must needs come; hut whioh, having oonttoued throughout His appointed time, He now wills to re move, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as tbe wo due to those, by whom tbe offenoe came, shall we discern therein any de parture from those divine attributes which the be lievers te a living God always ascribe to Him’ Fondly do we-hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. : Yet if Goa wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn bv the lash be paid by another drawn by the sword, as was said three thou sand years ago, so still.must it be said: “The judgments of the Lord are trne and righteous alto gether.” , With malice towards none, with charity fop all, with firmness In tbe right, as God gives ua to see the • right, let ns strive-on to - finish, the work we are In; to blnd up the nation’s wounds; to care ter him who shall have borne tbe battle, ana for his widow and bis orphan; to do all which may j achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. 1 The concluding sentiments were greeted with a general outburst. The Yiee President was then called upon for a speech. Ha good-humoredly com piled, thanking the people for their enthusiasm and their honor. THE SALUTES, On the . open ground opposite the Old Capitol Prison, a battery of 18-pounders was unlimbered to fire the grand salute In honor of the occasion and the day. But a few mtoutes after the President had retired, while the people to the Capitol grounds were leaving, and the prooession was reforming prepara tory to departure, the combined roar of eight pieces suddenly startled those unnsed to war’s alarms. Tbe damp state of the atmosphere made. the. con cussions more sensible than ordinary, we are told that some of the plaster ornaments In the Botunda of the Capitol were shaken down by them. The ex plosions had a lndicrous effect on the mass of horses and wagons jammed and maskedand locked togeth er on Maryland avenue. There were prancing and dancing from spirited horses, and baoking,ahd fill ing from cart-horses of baser blood; there were screams, imprenptions, and exclamations . from the unfortunate wights who had essayed to meander' through the wilderness; hut by the efforts of the police, no.one was injured. Oh"the salute ground a large crowd assembled to -witness - the manoeuvring of. the guns surrounding them, but on the part of these In front "at a respectable dir tance. Those In the rear of the guns seemed pic turesque and wlerd, as they loomed through the eannon smohe. Their serried rants were straight In the gloom, and brought back to many a soldier - memories of the battls-fleld. The crowd was another curious one, rebel uniforms worn by deserters being almost as common as our own. REPARTTTEK OF THIS PiBBSIDBNT AHD ESCORT, gWhile the booming of the guns told all Washing, ton that Abraham Lincoln had entered on hlsse. condterm as President of the United States, the carriages were rapidly driving himself and escort to the Presidential Mansion.

On arriving at the White House, the military again formed line, and the President, passing their front, was driven in at the western gate. JThe mar shals dismounted and accompanied him Into the House, whither he was also followed by the hand of Hastman’s College and the colored Odd Fellows. The procession then dispersed, and the marshals and others took their leave. Daring the drive Mr. Din coin engaged In animated conversation with Messrs, Foster and Henderson, and occasionally raised his hat to acknowledge the salutes of ladies waving their handkerchiefs. BBSTOhBD QUIET. It was hours before Washington assumed its wonted air. The procession, as it passed up Penn sylvania avenue, was accompanied by Immense crowds, larger than it was Itself, and covering densely both sidewalks. Here it was that one could see who the people were that were flUing every hotel, overcrowding Washington, and giving it the air of a great, populous oity. The vast majority of the passers-by were evidently strangers. The country boy was there with his blooming sweet heart, and theold grandfather, who was determined to see one more inauguration before he died. The honest, sturdy yeomanry of the country—the toilers at the forges, in the mines, on the farms, and on the sea—were there; plain, simple, downright re publicans, Independent because they were honest; unpretentious because they were sensible and practical. Mind was represented as well, and in the panorama that paased S'eroru the vision on the muddy walkß-of Pennsylvania avenue we saw the people —representatives of every class, Interest, condition and degree,- But the number of persons of color Was particularly no ticeable, 'Whereyw .one went, -'■iwttwf strug gled through minature seas of mud, trod the firmer pave, or wandered by sculptured frieze and sto ried architecture,” he met these faces radiant with pleasure, glowing with satisfaction. Every condi tion of this race was also represented, from the rich and grand, to the poor girl, who a year or two ago was an abject slave. The love of these latter per _*ons for display was exhibited In the most ludicrous way. But the reader can Imagine the parti-colored raiments, the flowing rib bons fluttering in every plaee in which the rude taste of the wearer considered they could be flat teiedto advantage; the antique bonnets that may have covered the ourllng looks of their great-grand mothers a century ago, or the modem bonnets three years ont of fashion. But among those of the race who knowhow sweet it was to be free from child hood none of this outre costume was observable. They wsre clad unite iike other people, who laughed at the unfortunate beings who once were forced to content themselves for a year with a single coarse cotton gown. One by one the people of so many races, so many conditions, passed. At last the press was ceased and but straggling groups remained. Here and there a frantio husband went searching for a wife, who was like himself a stranger in the city, and from whcnfhe by the regu lations governing admission!’to the Senate Cham ber. Parents were seen wandering in fruitless hnnt for children, and children for parents, friends for friends, -Bot all found eaeh other at last, and were happier for the separation. Then the regular stream Of travel resumed its way, and in the quiet FOUR CENTS. business air of every thing we knew that Inauratlon Day -was over. Insniiratloil of Former Days, In the early days of the Republic national eere* monies hftd a simplicity which would now bo Inap propriate. ■ Tet the celebration of Saturday, with all its grandeur, was Ihr less the work, of the Go vernment than of the people. In other .countries .the ruler orders ceremonies of which he Is to be the. hero ; In this the President receives honors which the .people voluntarily pay. Sixty years ago the nation had not the ysdalth, had not the occasion, to be lavish of its displays. Jefferson, In 1801, was In augurated with a want of formality which would now seem parsimonious and Insulting. Mr. Davis, author ot a book of travels In America, published In 1803, thus describes Ms appearance: “ Mr. Jefferson came, however, to the house without ostentation. Uis dress was of plain cloth, and he rode on horse back to the Capitol, without a single guard or even servant in his train, dismounted without assistance, and hitched the' bridle of Ms horse to the palisades.” yve could not thus, permit Mr. Lincoln to act. Never had zed such reason to celebrate with alt pomp end pride the inauguration of any of out Chief Magistrates , for Mr, Lincoln is the first President where authority was defied by a dangerous rebellion.

At twelve o’clock the city troops paraded before Washington’s door, and soon after t£e committees of Congress and heads bf depart* ments- came In carriages. At half-past twelve the preoeseion'meved. forward, preceded by the troop 3; next came the oommtttees and heads of departments In their carriages, then Washington, In fit ooach o f state, Ms aid.de-oamp, Colonel Humphreys, and his ~aooTo*ory,—&ir. L«»jr, In his own carriage. The foreign ministers and along train Of Citizens brought up the rear. About two hundred yards before reaching the Hall, Washington and Ms suite alighted from their car nages and. passed through the troops, who were •drawn up on each side, Into the Hall and Senate Chamber, where the Vice President, the Senate, and House of Representatives, were assembled. The Vice President, John Adamß, racently Inaugu rated, advanced and conducted Washington to a chair of state at the upper end of the room. A solemn silence prevailed, when the Tice President arose and informed Mm that all things were pre pared for him to take the oath of office required by the Constitution. The oath was to be administered by the Chancel- lor of the State of New York, In a balcony In rront of tbe Senate Chamber, and In fall view of an im mense multitude, occupying the street, windows, and even roofs of the adjacent houses. The balcony formed a kind of qpen recess, with lofty columns supporting the roof. In the centre was a table with a covering of crimson velvet, upon which lay a su perbly-bound Bible, on a crimson-velvet cusMon. This was all the paraphemallafor the august scene. All eyes were fixed upon the balcony, when, at the Appointed hour, Washington made Ms appear ance, Accompanied by various public functionaries . and members ofthe Senate and House of Repre sentatives, He was clad in a full suit of dark brown cloth of American manufacture, with a Bteol-bllted dress sword, wMte silk stockings, and Eilver shoe-buekleß. His hair was dressed and : powdered In the fas Mon of the day, and worn In a bag and solitaire. *■ His entrance on the balcony was hailed by uni versal shonts. He was evidently moved by this do* monslratlon of public affection. Advancing to the front of the balcony, he laid Ms hand upon Ms heart, bovrddweveral times, and then retreated to an 'arm-chair near the table. The populace appeared to understand that the scene had overcome him, and were hushed at once into profound silence. After a few moments, Washington rose and again came forward, John Adams, the Vico President, stood on Ms right; on Ms left the Chancellor of the State, Kobeit B. Livingston; somewhat In the rear were Roger Sherman, Alexander Hamilton, General Ilnox, St. Glair, Baion Steuben, and others. - * • The Chancellor advanced to administer the oath prescribed by the Oonstitutlon, and Mr. Otis, the Secretary of the Senate, held up the Bible on Its Crimson cushion. The oath was read slowly and distinctly, Washington at the same time laying M 3 hand on the open Bible. When it was concluded, he replied solemnly, “I swear—so help me God!” Mr. Otis would have raised the Bible to Ms Ups, but he bowed down reverently and kissed it. The Chancellor now stopped forward, waved his hand, and exclaimed, “Long live George Washing ton, President of the United States.” At this mo ment a Sag was displayed on the cupola of the hall, on which signal there was a general discharge of artillery on the Battery. All the belts fc tha city lung out a joyrul peal, and the mniutude rent the air with acclamations. Washington again bowed to the people, and re turned Into the Senate chamber, where he delivered to both Houses of Congress Ms Inaugural address, characterized by Ms usual modesty, moderation, and good sense, but uttered with a voice deep, slightly tremulous, and so low as to demand dose attention from the listeners. Alter this he proceeded, with the whole assent blogc, on foot, to St. Paul’s Churob, where prayers suitable to the occasion were read by Dr. Provost, York, whehad been appointed by the Senate one of tbe ehaplalDS of Congress. So closed the ceremo. nies of the Inauguration. The whole day was one or sincere rejoicing, and in the evening there were brilliant Illuminations and fire-works.” THE .PUEStDENTIAI, B.EOBPTIOK. The largest reception whleh lias been bold at the Presidential Mansion this season, transpired last evening, and was an appropriate and popularly gratifying conclusion to the ceremonies of Inau gnration|Day. A large force of police and military was In attend* the pressure of the crowd gave ample evidence of the foresight which had provided such security for order. Mrs. Lineolnwas becomingly attired in a splendid white satin dress, beautifully trimmed and heavily flounced with rich black lace, wore a chaste head dress of artificial flowers, ablack ©rape shawl, white gloves, and a white feather fan. Mrs. Lincoln was attended by B. 8,-French, Etq., and the President by Marshal Lamon, We noticed among those present Secretaries Seward, Welles, Stanton, and Usher, with their ladies; Vice Admiral Farragut, Major General Hooker, Major General Jtobertson, Captain Robert Lincoln, of General Grant’s staff, in lull uniform, and many other military men. The President’s private secretaries, John G. Nicoiay and* Major John Hay, were also present. Many colored persons - appeared to pay their respects to the President and lady, among whom were Fred. Douglass and wife. The members of the City Council of Baltimore city appeared in a body, and each received a hearty shake of the hand from Mr. Lincoln.— Washington. Chronicle of Sunday , THE PBJESS ACGOHST, . WAfniKGTON, March 4. —Such a wet, dirty morning as this of ihe second inauguration day of Abraham Lin coln, as President of the United States, hardly ever dawned upon Washington. Bain had been falling all yesterday and last night, making the proverbially filthy streets of the political metropolis filthier and more unpleasant than ever. It continued to rain until about 9 o'clock this morn ing, when it ceased; hut the clouds still hung heavily * ana the atmosphere looked and felt watery. notwith standing all inis, Pennsylvania avenue soon began to fill up with people, and the windows and porticoes of all the houses were arranged for the accommodation of those who wished to get a view of the Ftesidential pro cession from the White House to the CapitoL Many flags were out. though they hung wet and droopingly. The hopes of a clearin gup were rudely dispelled about eleven o’clock, for the rain began to pour down again, and the vast masses of people in the Avenue got .well drenched, it was then understood that the ceremonies would take piece in the Senate Chamber, instead of on the platform over the east part of the Capitol. At the President’s House and in its vicinity there was auiteaJarge crowd assembled to see the President and the procession depart, a strong police force was de tailed to keep order in the crowd.
