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

continuous stream , crushing and shoring eaoh other
as they reached the entrance to scatter, after the
passagej nll through the immense throng.that was
gathering on the open plateau, between the Oapl
tol and New Jersey avenne.
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

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

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

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. <jge held the written spseohln his hand,
and readm cloarly and distinctly, so that as many
heard Jt as .usually hear any oration which is de
livered to the opfen’air._lt was short and eonoise, re
quiring but ten minutes for delivery. It was list
ened to with clOse attention to the end, and Its pro
minent sentiments were appreciated by applause.
THB INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Fur. r.ow- country men : At this second appearing
to take the oath of the Presidential office there is
less ocoaslon for an extended address than there
was at the first. Then a statement somewhat In
detail of a course to be pursued seemed'fltting and
proper.
Now, at the expiration of four years, during which
public declarations have been. constantly called
forth on every point and phase of tbe great contest
which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the
energies of the nation, little that is new could be
presented.
- Tbe progress of onr arms, npon which all else
chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to
myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory
and enconragtog to all.,
. *Nlth high hopes for the future, no prediction in
regard to it is ventured. On the occasion corres
ponding to this, four years ago, all thoughts were
anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All
dreaded it; all sought to avert it. •
While the inaugural address waa being delivered
from this place, devoted; altogether to the saving of
the Union without war, insurgent agents were in
the city seeking to' destroy it without war—seeking
to dissolve the Union, and divide the effects by ne
gotiation. . . -¥V
Both parties,.deprecated war, hut one of them
would make war rather than let the nation survive,.
and thelother would accept war ratherjtban letlt per-,

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. ■ .

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

screams, imprenptions, and exclamations . from
the unfortunate wights who had essayed to

- memories of the battls-fleld. The crowd was another
curious one, rebel uniforms worn by deserters being
almost as common as our own.

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

nation had not the ysdalth, had not the occasion, to

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.”

The Inauguration; of Washington in New
’Yolk is tints dwcrlbed by Irving, In the 4th volume
ttofjhis Life of the Father or Ms Country:
' “ The Inauguration took place on the 30th of
April, 1789, At nine o’clock In the morning there
were religious, services in all the churches, and
prayers pub up for the blessings of Heaven on the
hew Government. 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.
The fickle weather at half past eleven changed again.
The rain ceased, and there were signs of clearing up,
with hopes of having the out*door spectacle at the Capi
tol after all.
THE PBOOB6SIOH.
At scon a special escort of United States Marshals to
the President, headed by Marshals Lamon and Mill
ward, and accompanied by a company of cavalry, rode
through the Avenue, surrounding thePreiident’s car
riage, which tney took to the Capitol, where the Presi
dent had been engaged allthe morning signing bills. He
immediately entered the carriage and returned to the
V hits House, where he took his place in the accession
which was formed there.
The procession moved at ILIO from the President’s
house. The head of it reached the Capitol in an hour.
The President rede in a close carriage. The house
tops were crowded, as were the sidewalks, and there
was much cheering as the procession moved along the
Avenue. f
A monitor, gaily decked with flags and manned with
sailors, was in the line, and fired salutes at intervals.
The visiting Philadelphia fire companies attracted
greatattestion by their beautifully-adorned apparatus..
Many bands were Id ter# per Bed throughout the whole*
procession, and the line wasone continual ringof music.
The procession was one hour in passing a given point,
and the length was probably over a mile.
The streets were in an almost impassable condition,
which made the display not as magnificent as it Would
have been, though it was exceedingly beautiful. One
novel feature was tbe colored troops and Odd Fellows*
with their band.

Th« order of proceedings was then announced, and
the chamber was slowly emptied, the crowd making,
its way toward the East Portico
Just at this moment the sun burst throughthe dense
mass of clouds that had. hang like a pall over the dijr
ail the morning, drenching everything with rain.
The clouds disappeared almost by a miracle,and Hea
