The New Administration.
As the election of Mr. Lincoln was
merely the reaffirmation of the principles
upon which he had conducted the trying
issues of Administration, so in his- inaugu
ral address he confines himself to declaring
that the war shall be prosecuted with un
sparing energy until the end. Here is no
new assortment of principles for,the com
ing’four years. We fail to see any undue
or unseemly exultation over military tri
umphs—and with singular good taste he
says nothing that might be regarded as an
assault upon any who may have opposed
Mm in Ms Administration, or during the
canvass in wMch Ms name and deeds were
bo violently denounced. It is impossible
not to feel in reading this brief addresstbat
Mr. Lincoln is the President of the whole
country. There is no sectionalism in him..
He is not the President of the North or of
the South. He is not the President of the;
oonquered orjhe.couaueri-ng- Statoo. - He
is the CMef Magistrate of the Republic,
and he proposes to vindicate the dignity
of the; Republic in its war with the re
bellion by {continuing to persecute and
destroy the traitors to the constitution
we the people have committed the Presi
dent to this principle, and he registers Ms
determination to fight it out to the end.
Beyond this nothing more remained for
him to say. Just now the only policy is a
war policy, and there is no statesmansMp
required, except how best to strengthen
onr armies and end the war. - TotMsall
diplomacy, all home legislation, all finan
ciering must bend. How best to overcome
and destroy the rebellion is the problem.
*To this end we have immense armies and
navies, incurred a vast debt, suspended
wise constitutional enactments, and under
gone a conscription of the most Weeping
nature. The President feels that he is
truly expressing the peoples’ will in de
creeing the prosecution of the war and the
overthrow of slavery, and having made this
declaration, he again enters upon the grave
and stern duties of Ms high station. ' We
give him out warmest sympathy and confi
dence,and earnestly pray that the blessings
of God may attend him during the years of
Ms new Administration. ’s
Sheridan, aftor long sllchcg, lmg liccn
heard from—as usual, with a victory, "We
need hot comment on his splendid success
more important in its results than its im
mediate triumph.

Speed, entered and seated themselves to the left of the
Chair. ■,
The judges of ti e Supreme Court entered immediste-
and seated themtelyes to the right of the
At 12 o'clock Mr. Hamlin briefly addressed the Se
nate, thanking it* members for the kindness and con
sideration that had been shown to him on all occasions.
It wub impossible to hear the speech of Mr. Hamlin dis- •
tinctiy, owing to the confusion and conveteatioa con
tin naily kept up between the ladies in the arallariaa.
Mi. Johnson, before taking the oath of .office, made a
short speech, which, at in the case of McMtamlin, was
nearly inaudible, owing to the want of order which pre
vailed among the ladies in the galleries.
By the' choice of the people, he said, he had been
made presiding officer of-this body, and in presenting
himself here, in obedience to the behests of the Con
stitution of the UnitedßlaUs, it would perhaps not be
out of place to remark just here what a striking thing
tie Constitution,was. It was & Constitution of the
people cf the country, and under it hereto day, before
the American Senate, he felt that he was a man and an
American citizen. He had a proud illustration of the
fact that under the Constitution a min could rfse from
the ranks to occupy the second place in the gift oC the
American people and of the American Government.
Those of us who have labored onr white lives for the
establish me nt of a free government know how to cherish
itsgie&t blessings. He would say to Senators and others
before him* tothcSOpreme Court which sat before him,
that ttey all got their.power from the people of this
country; and, turning towards Mr. Chase, Mr. Johnson
said: •• And, your excellency, your position depends
upon the people.? 1 Then nursing towards tbe Cabinet
Ministers, he said: * ‘ And I will say to you, Mr. Score
tary Seward; and to you, Mr. Secretary Stanton; and to
you.Hr Secretary’ ’—to a gentleman near by, soitovoce.
** Who is the Secretary of the Navy? 1 ’ The person ad
dressed replied; in a whkper, * f Mr. Welles.” Mr.
Johnson —“ And to you, Mr. Secretary Welles, £ would
say. you ail derive your power from the people. ’ ’
Mr. Job neon then remarked that the groat element
of vitality in this Government was its nearness and
proximity to the people. He wanted to say to all who
beard him, in the face of the American people, that all
power was derived from the people. He would say in
the bearing of the foreign Ministers, for he was going
to tell the truth here to-day, that he was a pleblan. and
he thanked God for it. It was the populat heart of this
nation that was testing to sustain the Cabinet officers
and the President of the United States. It was a strange
occasion that called forth a pleblan like him to tell such
things as there. Mr. Johnson then adverted to affairs
in Tennessee, and the abolition of slavery there.
He thanked God that Tennessee was a State in the
Union, and had never been out. The State Gcvv«nnn*Bi
had -been cicceutiirueit for arlme —there had been an
interregnum—a hiatus—but she had never been out of
the Union. He stood here to-day as her representative.
On this day she would elect a Governor auda-Legtaia
iure, would very, soon send Senators and
members to Connes*.
Mr. JOHNSON then took the oath of office, and Mr.

no note of time but by its lose, will soon announce that
the Congress of which we are memb» re has naesed-into

complex and often perplexing dntiea without partisan
bias, and with the slocerest impartiality, whether
I have realized the. true ideal of a just presiding
officer, aiding, on the one hand, the advance of thepnbiio
business, with'the responsibility of which the majority
is charged, and, on the other hand, allowing no trespass
on the parliamentary rights of the minority, must be
left for others to’decide; hut, looking back now over
the entire Congress, I cannot remember a singld Ward
addressed to yon which, dying, I could wldnTto blot.

Geographlcal Series a translation, by William L,

of Boston. This volume, studiedjin conjunction with
BenjamluE-Shaw’s “ Comprehensive Geography,
will teach the science inulllte numerous bearings,

We hope to see both books In general use In schools

In fact, BrlUat-Savarin anticipated Mr. Banting,
and wrote very skilfully on the art of reducing or
fostering hnman plnguldlty. His work is lively and
instructive. It abounds in aphorisms. There is
great truth in this, 11 A man who invites friends to

“The Forsaken Daughter” is the last work of

“ Independent land-owners, who Jlit
their rural homes at the approach of winter,” and,
In the-next, pigs are mentioned as “porcine in
mates.” There are several puns- so mis enable that:
the reader is often to ask “ Whored Bln
ney 1” Thera can be s’malilidpe for an author who
speaks of “tho metes of night.” On the-cover,
though not on the title-page, this book is »f down
as “Oompn. to ‘Linda.’” Who and what Liu.
da may be Is no where indicated. Again, the title
page, besides the name of tho hook, bears' upon It
a decidedly strong “puff”—full of exaggerated,
eulogy. We -submit :that there is bad. taste In
thus disfiguring the page, as well as lh sub
stituting the publishers’ interested: opinion for
the judgment of the public. It will be noticed, too,
that the story commences at page 25. Deduoting
title-page and its book, credit is claimed for 22
pages more than the volume professes to contain.
We are unable to say whether this is:a new book,
or an old book with a' new name; but, from anal le
gion on page" 284, we learn that It was written during
the lifetime of Washington Irving—that is, over five
years ago. The plot Is Improbable and Involved,
hut several of the characters are well drawn. A
colored nurse, named Sybil, to whom undue pro
minence isnot given, is. truly an orlgtnal,And
apparently sketched from'life. The concluding is
far better than the commencing moiety of the story,
and convinces ns that .the author is capable of
writing a far better novel than this.

eruption of Mount Etna has taken place. It being
an extraordinary spectacle, mid a phenomenon only
repeated at long Intervals, I went to. the mountain at
the first receipt of the news, and stayed there two days
notwithstanding the excessively bad weathev. The
lava is not abundant at Its source, and Immediately
divides' Itself into two principal brandies ; neither

seen, and the largest, was about 15 metres high, and
of a width of 250 or 300 metres. It Issues on the east

other branch runs down the northern side, ana

tend to take a course in the direction of the unculti

THE CITY., j
THE NEW MEMBER OF THE BUTREJIB
COURT.
We are enabled this morning to present our read
ers with the speech of John. S, Book, Eeq., the
colored man who was recently admitted to practice
at the bar of the Supremo Court of the United -
States, which was delivered at the Uiilon League
meeting on Friday evening.
A want of space forbade our giving It on Saturday,
and, as the speech speaks for Itself, we have no com*
merits to make;
- Allow me to thank you for this hearty demonstra
tion of your good will. You are applauding tho
progress or Ameriaan civilization in tho nineteenth
century, which may be observed everywhere In the.
general improvement of public sentiment, whies
'has 80 emphatically swept away the Dred-Soott
monstrosity, andwhlchmakes It posslblefor a oolorad
man to hold a position other than that of a depen
dent.' He hoped, the day Is not far distant when
reason and justice will take the place of an igno
rant, Silly, and orael prejudice, wMoli denies us our
rights as oitlzenß, and yet drafts and forces colored
men to fight to secure and perpetuate the liberty and
rights of a people who persistently wrest from them
those rights they have so willingly laid their lives
on the altar of their oonntry to secure, [Applause.]
As Mb name had been mentioned in oonneotlon
with the Supreme Court of the United States, he
wished to say that in this matter he had taken bat
little credit to himself. It was not simply his-suc
cess, but-the success of a great caose, based upetr
eternal tenth and justice. [Applause.] Every
colored man who had been enterprising, honest, and
Industrious, has contributed his mite, and the ser
vices of thefriendsof the race have been invalua
ble. He would take this opportunity to thank their
Iriends for what they have done, and ho hoped they
would never relax their efforts until complete jus
tice and equality before the law shall be awarded to
them. He dnly approolatad the Dred Seottdeei
slolt— a decision which even a Jeffries would have
shrunk from—but he now thanked- CH>d that the
- court had been.redeemed. [Applause ] This in
famy has been Chaso-a away. [Continued ap-
SJS-] It was the grandest step which the nation
taken. He thought they ought to thank Odd
take courage. [Applause.]
: He regarded the question Of the citizenship of the
negro as. -settled. ' Heretofore, If ta» p-i L-k i..
Sued a prociaination. OT congress passed any law
Which seemed to, favor liberty, there has always
b^emsome doubts as to Its constitutionality,'and the
Copperheads would say, “It remains yet to be seen
what the Supreme Court will do;” or, “The Su
preme Court has yet to speak;” and from its pro
slavery bids heretofore we always had good reason
to believe that its decisions would not be on the
Bide of humanity. Nowit has thundered forth its
trumpet blast, arid bas .not given aa uncertain
found. [Applause.] “Hethatlathaueartohear,
let him hear.” masses now see that slavery is
Incompatible with a free government, and the ques
tion with them is what shall be done with the
blacks. -The Supreme Court, when questioned on
this point, answers promptly, << Follow the example
we set you to day—give them their rights, and let'
them take the places they are fitted for.” Senator
Charles Sumner—God bless him—[loud and long
oontinued applause]—when writing to him in rela
tion to his admission to the bar, safd.r•“ This will be
a new epoch, or, rather, It will help mark' our
epoch.” He is right—lt inaugurates a new state of
things. There are those who would give them
their nominal liberty, and yet deny them their civil
rights. They would keep them in their.former eon
diuon, so that they may be used. They have no
prejudice against the slave—it is only as no rises in
the scale, of manhood that he becomes objection
able. The black man Is a good fellow while he re
mains a slave, and toils for nothing, but the mo
ment le claims his own flesh and blood -and bones
he becomos repulsive. While he Isa slave he is a
dear creature; the white woman rides in the same
carriage, the white man sleeps in the same bed, and
the white ohlld nurses from the same bosom.
[Laughter and applause.] But give the slave his
liberty, and|he at onoe becomes loathsome, fit only
for a substitute for a disloyal coward, or colonized
on some of our southern islands! [Loud applause.]
The passage of the act to amend the Constitution
was an act over which they were all inexpressibly
; thankful; he hoped It would soon be ratified by
three-fonrths of the States. When this is done, all
prescriptive laws abolished, and the right of suffrage
extended to his race throughout the broad extent of
this great Bepublie, his cup of pleasure would be
full. [Applause.] fie would then be able to say,
as the old maid was reported to have said on tho
eve of her marriage:
" This is the day I long have sought,'
And mourned bseausef found It not. ’ ’
[Uproarious laughter and applause,] There are now
two millions of tree men, women and children of
color in the United States, and from these two mil
lions they have upwards of two hundred thousand
soldiers in the field, If the whites had an equal’
proportion, they would have more than two millions
of men under arms—enough to wipe Jeff. Davis and
Us minions from the face of the earth. Most ef
these men were raised without bounty, and served
for a long time without pay, and all the time under
the most trying circumstances; and yet they have
fought so bravely as to challenge the admiration of
the civilized world. And yet, when these scarred
veterans return home to their families, they are
jeered and Insulted, and denied their civil rights.
The colored man of this State may carry .the mus
ket, but not the ballot! His United States uniform
does not guarantee him any respect. He cannot
even ride In your city oars, but must, Uke tho rest
of us,male and female, either stand on the platform
with the driver,[or not ride at all. In most, if not all
the railroads leading west and south from this city,
colored people must either ride In the “ Jim Crow ’’
-or the'“smoking oar,” and pay full fate for this ex- -
elusive privilege. A few days ago I found a United
States soldier with his,musket stationed at the
smoking oar at the “Baltimore depot” in this city,
to enforoe theße rules. -Not long since, at the West
Chester depot, eighteenth and Market streets,’ I
saw pasted up in large letters In a frame in the-de
pot, and also in the cars, this sign, which speaks
more eloquently than I can, of our civilization:
“Colored persons are requested to take-the back
seats in the passenger cars, or the passenger seats
into e eeggage cars.” .Every colored man who goes
to Washington must, .before, leaving our national
Ccpitil, which has been falsely reportedfree, run
around to find the Provost Marshal's office,, to tee
If he is enrolled, and then to the office of the tolltta
ry Governor to get a pass before he ean leave the
city! This outrage Is only upon colored men, and
it is painful to hear that It comes direct from the
War Department. (Shame, shame!) These are not
a tithe of all the outrages heaped upon us. I shall
protest against them as long as God gives me the
ability, or until they shall cease, and I believe yon
will do the same. [Applause.]
There fa now a great talk about reconstruction,
end the nation seems to be perfectly wilting to let
those rebels who choose to lay down their arms
come, back with their hands dripping’in the life
blood of your fathers, husbands, and- brothers, and
you will receive them Into tall fellowship I The
man who'deliberately murders another In eoldblood
you consign to the gallows, and, if pardoned,[yon
would, shrink from the murderer ! But those who
not only maliciously, wickedly, and “with ’malioe
aforethought,” minder and destroy all they can,
and strike at the very life of the nation—these you
will take'-to-your bosoms. But the negro, who nas
always been your, friend; who never- did you a
wrong j who, in the. hour of your danger, when the
Issue was critical, and when the loyal men of the
North hesitated—forgot two centuries of outrage
and oppression, came gallantly forward, and "made
himteu a willing sacrifice for the nation—him you
are not ready to acknowledge and treat as well as
your murdereißl I have faith in God and justice,
and I believe you cannot much longer withhold
from us our rights. They must come, as certain as
the asAaylight succeeds the darkness. [Applause.]
There is now a great talk about the rebels arming
the negroes, and the question continually asked Is,
“ Wllfthe colored people of the South fight' for the
rebels 1” TMb is now a serious question for the
rebels, will, no doubt, as a dernier resort, try the
experiment. I think they are a little too late to be
materially[benefitted by tbelrservlooß. [Applause.]
-If Jeff Davis had only Issued a proclamation of
freedom, 1 1 believe the blacks would have rallled
uuder- too Confederate flag. For a long time the.
Union offictrs.and soldiers were more cruel to the
colored people than, the rebels; now, as a general
rule a different state of thing exists. The Patter
sons, the Fitz John Porters,-the McClellans, and
tho Bankscs are out or the way. [Applause’] And
to-day, 1 believe, the chief part of our army is loyal.
[Applause.] , ,
It is too late now toarea the slaves or to emanci
pate them. It Is said twt nothing succeeds well but
wbat is done in season; and that the wise man does
at first what the fool must do at last. I do not
doubt but that they will oonsorlpt them, and that
the blacks, like many Union white men who,have,
been pressed into the rebel service, will fight when
they cannot help themselves ; but 1 expect to see
them come Into our lines in companies and brigades,
as opportunity offers. [Applause ]
I have no doubt about results; our progress,
though not as rapid as I ceuld wish, Is magnificent.
Evciy day seems almost to be an erainjthe history
of our country. Bepubllcan Institutions are now
on trial, and the despotisms of the Old World are
rejoicing over what they hope will prove tho utter
fallacy of demoeratleal Institutions, but I will trust
our cause to God, our brave soldleis, and to you;
and I think you have already decided, that this
country must and shall be free. - TApplause.]
J would now have every maffjboldjand firm. The •
statne of Liberty is now about to be oast. In the
language of Danton: The metal Is already boiling.
Let us go down South again, in our might, on an.
other peace mission. Let us take canister, shot and
shell—amiable and reliable peacemakers—and at
one blow blot out all rebels, conspirators, and trai
tors. [Applause] Let us strike them as with a
thunderbolt, that they may never rise to pollute the’
soil of Liberty.. [Applause.]
Black men want their liberty and their rights—
nothing more, and nothing less.

ekillfol management. Chief Franklin Informs us
that if the patriotism and military spirit continue,
there willbe no difficulty in raising two regiments
per week.
DESERTION And capture.
Quite an exciting chase of two men, who were at
tempting to desert from the army, took place on
Saturday afternoon, in the neighborhood of Third
and Walnut Streets. A squad of Taw recruits and
substitutes was brought from Camp Cadwalader In
charge of a guard, and, while passing down Wal
nut street, near Third, two of the.nnmber dropped
their knapsaoks and overooats, and ran down Third
at full speed. Tw» of the guard gave chase, fol
lowed by a crowd. One of the deserters took refuge
in St. Paul's Church, which was open for funeral
services, and he was secured. The other ran up
Willing’s alley* and made his escape.

Another GOrarr Treasurer's Save Roßßan.
—On Friday night last the office of the Treasurer
of Do Kalb county, at Sycamore, Illinois, was en
tered .by burglars, and the safe blown open with
powder, and robbed of a large amount of money.
The safe Was furnished the county, about one year
ago, by Blebold; Bahman, & Co., Olneinnatl, as a
Burglar and Fire-Proof Safo.havlng Inside a steel
ohest, with Covert’s patent Jock. The safe has
proved a bad failure as to being burglar-proof.;
i The mode of operating upon the safe seems to
save been similar to that upon a safe of the same
Und and make In the county treasurer’s office at
Adrian, Michigan, whloh was robbed last week of
over *20,c00. In this safe at Sycamore the bottom
of the steel chest was driven away from the door so
as to leave an inch of space the full length.
The frequency of safe robberies is certainly be
coming alarming to business men. Scarcely a day
passes but we see the record of some new oaso, and
the half of them do not probably reach the public
journals. We fear that too often a foolish economy
la practiced in the purchase of safes; In order to
save a few dollars .In the first eost of a safe many
thousands are loßt through the luseenrity or safes
that have no claim to burglar-proof protection.—
From the Chicago Post, February 21.
P. S.—lt will be understood that it is the steel
safe with the Covert lock that one Bacon has been
trying to introduce in this vicinity. mht-emw3t
A Popular Article with thb liAdibs.—We
have already taken occasion to speak In approving
terms of the celebrated “Eureka Zephyr,” of which
Air. John M. Finn, southeast corner of Arch and
Seventh streets, Is the originator and proprietor.
Asa substitute for the German Zephyrs, it surpasses,
vastly, any other article that has ever been Intro
duced In the market, m fact, the “Eureka” la
rapidly becoming a universal favorite. In fibre It
Is almost equal to the Imported article, while In
colors, even to the most delicate shading, It has
never been surpassed, and the colors, moreover, are
quite equal to thcAfronnan Zephyrs iu preserving
their brilliancy. NoristhlsaU. The great economy
of using the “ Eureka Zephyr ’’—being fully fifty per
cent, cheaper than tbejmported Zephyrs—ls another
consideration which should not be overlooked; nor
Is It, If we may judge from the Immense sale which
the “Eureka” has attained. For all purposes to
which Zephyrs are applied, this splendid substitute
Is found to be as desirable as Its Imported rival, and
being sold at one half the price, we are not surprised
to hear or the enormous sales which; In Mr. Finn’s
competent hands, It has attained.
Be Careful in Selecting Toub Broker.—
In these times, when everybody Is doing more or
less business through brokers, some care should be
observed in selecting the right mep for the right
purpose. The new, firm of Messrs. Harper, Bur
ney, & Go, No. S 5 South Third street; has already
won its way Into popular favor by the prompt atten
tion given to their customers, and their fidelity to
the Interests of their patrons. This Is indeed so im
portant a matter that the question ofloss or gain, to
stock operations, measurably depends upon it. Both
Dsr. Harper and Mr. Dumegthave had the requisite
training to make them proficient to their profes
sion, and the experience which they bring to bear
to their new enterprise, together with their estab
lished reputation for fair-dealing, renders their
houseßOtonlyworthythe confidence of the public,
but to a special manner a desirable medium through.
which to transact every class of Banking and Bro
kering business. We therefore advise our readers
to send their orders to Messrs. Harper, Burney, St
Co., No. 55 South Third street.
