    perity of their-citizens. In the effort I
shall make to accomplish this purposc T ask
t!ie cordial co-operation of all who cherish
an interest in 'the welfare of the country;
trusting that party ties, and the prejudice
of race, will be freely surrendered in be
lialf of the great purpose to be accomplish-t-,l.
In the important work of restoring.
t,e South, it h not the political situation
alone that merits attention. The material
development of that section of the country
has boon arrested by the social and politi
C:,I revolution through which it has passed,
ml now needs and deserves the considerate
C;ire of the National Government, within
tlie just limits prescribed by the Constitu
tion and wise public economy. i
EDUCATION' A NECESSITY.
But as the basis of all prosperity, for
that as vveil as for every other part of the
country, lies in the improvement of the in
tellectual and moral condition of the peo
ple, universal suffrage should rest upon1
universal education. To this end liberal
and permanent provision should be made
for the suport of free schools by the State
internments, and if need be, supplemented
Lv legitimate aid from national authority.
!et wc assure my countrymen of the South
ern States that it is my earnest desire to
regard and promote their trust, interests,
the interests of the white and of the colored
people both, and equally, and to put forth
mv bot efforts in behalf of a civil policy
which will forever wipe out iu our political
i; flairs the color line and the distinction be
tween North and South, to the end that
we may have not a merely united North or
a united South, but a united country.

FINANCIAL QUESTION.
"With r..-peet to th.e f.nan-ial condition
i i' the eeu:;:iy I shall not attempt an ex
tended hl.torv of the embarrassment and
prostration which we 'nave suffered duiing
the past throe years. The depression in
all our varied c-uum-'iie al and nianufactur
i.'.'Z int'Te.-ls throughout the country, which
began in September, 1 h7;, still continues.
It is very gratifying, however, to be able
to sav that there are indications all around
Us of a corning c hange to prosperous time3.
Upon il;e curret ry cjuestion, intimately
connected as it is with this topic, I may be
permitted to repeat here the statement
made in my letter cf acceptance, that, iu
my judgment, the feeling of uncertainty,
inseparable from an irredeemable paper
currency, with its fluctuations of values, is
one of The greatest obstacles to a return cf
prosperous times. The only safe paper
currency is one which rests upon a coin
bass, and i at all times and promptly con
vertible into coin. I adhere to the views
heretofore expressed by me in favor of
Coii-jresi.-nal legislation in behal of an
early resumption of specie payment, and I
am satisfied not only that it is wise, but
that the interests as well as the public senti
ment of the country imperatively demand
it. Passing from these remarks upon the
condition of our own country to consider
our relations with other lands, we are re
mined by the international complications
abroad threatening the peace of Europe,
that our traditional rule of non-interference
in the affairs of foreign nations has proved
of great value in past timc3, and ought to
be strictly observed.
The policy inaugurated by my honored
predecessor, President Grant, of submitting
to arbitration grave questions in dispute
between ourselves and foreign Powers,
points to a new, and incomparably the best,
instrumentality for the preservation of
peace, and will, as I believe, become a bene
iieent example of the course to be pursued
iu similar emergencies by other nations.
FOREIGN POLICY.
If, unhappily, question of difference
should at any time during the period ofiriy
r.dtninistration arise between the United
States and any foreigu government, it will
certaiuly be my disposition and my hope to
aid in their settlement in the same peaceful
and honorable way, thus securing to our
country the great blessings of peace and
mutual good ooee with all the Dations of
the wor.

i TIIE LATE PRESIDENTAL CRISIS
Fellow-Citizens: We have reached the
close of a political contest marked by the
excitement which usually attends the eon
tests between great political parties whose
members espouse and advocate with earn
est faith their respective creeds. The cir
cumstances were, perhaps, in no respect
extraordinary save in the closeness and the
consequent uncertainty, of the results. For
the first time in 'the history cf the country
it has been decided best, in view of the
peculiar 'circumstance of the case- that the
objections and questions in dispute with re
ference to the counting of the electoral I
votes should be referred to the decision of
a tribunal appointed for this purpose. That!
tribunal, established by law for this sole
purple, its members, all of them men of
long established reputation for integrity and
intelligence, and, with the exception of
those who are also members of the supreme
judiciary, chosen equally from both politi
cal parties. Us deliberations enlightened by
the research and the arguments of able
counsel, was entitled to the fullest con
fidence cf the American people. Its deci
sions have been patiently waited for and
accepted as legally conclusive by the general
judgment of the public.
ior the present, opinions will undoubted
ly vary as to the wisdom of the several con
sidcrations announced by that tribunal.
This is to bo anticipated in every instance
where matters of dispute are made the sub
ject of arbitration under the forms of law.
Human judgment is i ever unerring, and is
rarely regarded as otherwise than wrong
by the unsuccessful party iir the .contract.
The fact that two great political parties
have in this way settled a dispute, in re
gard to which good men differ as to the
facts and the law, no less than as to the
proper course to be pursued in solving the
question in controversy, is an occasion for
general rejoicing. Upon one point there
is entire unanimity -in public sentiment,
that conflicting claims to the Presidency
muct be amicably and peaceably adjusted,
and that when so adjusted the general ae-
quiescence ot th
. 1 1
nutiuu ouu;ht
surcly to
loIleW.
It has been reserved for a
rovernment
of the people where the right cf suffrage is
universal, to give to the world the first
example in history of a great nation in the
mid.-t of a struggle of opposing parties for
power hushing its party tumults, to yield
the issue of the contest to adjustment ac
cording to the ll.rms of law.
Locking for the guidance of that Divine
hand by which the destinies of nations and
individuals arc &haed, I call upon 3'ou,
Senators, Representatives, judges, fellow
litiieus, here and everywhere, to work with
me iu an earnest effort to secure to our
country the blessings not -only of material
prosperity, but of justice, peace, and union
a Union depending not upon the con
straint or force, but upon the devotion of
a free people, "and that all things may be
sj ordered and settled upon the best and
surest foundations that peace, and happi
ness, and justice, religion and piet maybe
established amon-jr u
for all
generations.
H1Z OATH OF OFFICE.
At the conchis:-n of the address the oath
of office was administered to the President
bv C hief Justice Waite, both standing with
uncovered heads at the front of the plat
form: and thereupon a salute was ured in
the adjacent park, and cheering was kept
up for several minutes. Meanwhile the
Pre.-idenL was congratulated by ex-President
(I rant. Chief Justice Waite and a large num
ber of other persons near him, including
S enator Conkling and many other members
of both houses of Congress, and all the
Associate Justices of the Supreme Court
except Justices Clifford and Field, who
were not present during any portion of the
ceremonv of the day.

A Terrible Tale of Suffering.
STARVING MEN EAT THE DEAD BODIES OF
TlIEIIt COMRADES.
Boston, Feb. 2I. Captain Kane, of the
American schooner F. K. McDonnald,
writes from Gove, West Africa, that on the
voyage from Boston he took from the British
bark Movia, two survivers of the crew of
fourteen, all the others having perished.
One of the survivors subsequently died.
The bark was bound from Boboy, Ga., to
Be'fist, Ireland. She sprung a leak in a
galf and filled with water. The lumber
with which the vessel was loaded prevented
her from sinking, but the weight of the
masts buried the vessel on her beaui ends
until the masts broke away, when she
righted and the men regained the deck.
They soon began to die of starvation. As
soon as' one died the rest subsisted upon
his body. The survivor, whose name is
James McLaughlin, and who belongs to
Belfast, Ireland, 6ays that only portions of
the dad bodies could be eaten. No one
was killed, but the moment one died the
survivors cut the throat of the deceased and
drank, the blood, and then divided the
heart and brains. It was thirty-two days
froci the time the disaster occupied cntil
the -rec-k was sighted.
,uua t iUAKiir. on SUNDAY. All as
tounding discovery has recently been made,
to the effect that all the marriage ceremo
nies performed in Pennsylvania uu Sunday
have been illegal and consequently arc not
binding, so says an act passed in 1777,
lately discovered among the archives at
Ilarrisburg.' The best thing for people to
do who have violated this old laws, is to
join the Seven-Day Baptists..

The Speed of Carrier Pigeons.
From the Times.
Several flying societies have been estab
lished in our large cities, and some of my
T -T . n
pigeons flew last summer from rsew Bruns
wick, Trenton, Philadelphia, kaston, loby-
hanna, Scranton, Tamaqua, Danville, and
hock Haven, Penn. I he time used to ny
a mile is, as you say, about a minute, or
from thirty to sixty miles an hour, accord
. 1
mir to tne condition ot tne atmosphere or
the wind. From Scrunton, which is 150
miles from New York, one of my pigeons
flew, with clear weather and favorable wind,
in two hours and twenty-seven minutes :
and from Lock Haven, which is 240 miles,
it took the same pigeon seven hours, which
was only at the rate of about thirty miles
an hour. The wind in this last fly was not
so favorable. This summer we intend to
fly our pigeons cither from Pittsburgh,
Penn., or "Buffalo, N. Y.

Seven Persons Burned to Death.
Pittsburg, March 5. A'dispatch from
Karns City, Butler County, Penn., siys a
fire broke out early this morning in the
office of the Bateman House there, caused
by a lighted cigar or match being thrown
under the counter among the waste paper.
It was discovered by Mr. Bateman before
it had made much headway, lie ran for
water, and on returning found the whole
room in flames, cutting off all escape by the
stairway from the rooms above. Mr. Bate
man rushed through the flames and suc
ceeded in bringing out his sou, but they
were both badly burned, the son dying af
terward. The flames spread with great
rapidity, and in less than half an hour the
budding was consumed. The bodies of
Mrs. Bateman and her daughters, Minnie,
Lou, Belle, and Winnie, were burned be
yond recognition. The bod)' of N. Brown,
of Sproagle & Co.. of New-York, was al
most consumed. Thirty guests were in the
hotel at the time of the fire, six of whom
were injured by jumping from the windows
Loss, 10,000"; insurance, Si),000.
The Scarlet Fever.
It is as unnecessary for a child to die
of scarlet lever, says Good Htallh, as it is
that it should be blind with cataract. Let
us: At any time before the body has
finished its effectual struggle we are able
to help it5 not by wonderful medicines, but
by the kuowledge of anatomy and the ap
plication of common sense. We consult
the sympathetic nerve, and do what it com
mands us to do. We must give this child
salt when it wants it ; we must give it acid
when it has fjver not vinegar, but lemon
juice, because the first coagulates albumen
and the latter does not on account of the
surplus of oxygen which it contains. To
imitate the soothing mucous in the intes
tines, wliieh is now wanting, and to give
some respiratory food at the same time, we
add gum-i.rabie. To restore and relieve
the injured nerves we apply moist warmth.
In practice we can fulfil all this with the
following simple manipulations : Undress
the child and briug it to bed at the very
first sign of sickness. Give it, if it has already-
fever, nothing but warm, sourish
'lemonade, with some gum-arabic in it.
Then cover its abdomen with some dry
flannel. Take a well-folded bed sheet, and
put it in building 1'ot water ; wring it out
dry by means of dry towels, and put this
over the ilannel on the child's abdomen.
Then coyer the whole and wait. Tim hot
cloths will perhaps require repeated heat.
According to the severity of the case aud
its stage of progress, perspiration will com
mence in the child in from ten minutes to
two hours. The child then is saved ; it
soon falls asleep. oon after the child
awakes it shows slight symptoms of return
ing inclination for fond ; help its bowels, if
necessary, with injections of oil, soap, and
water ; and its recovery will be as steady as
the growth or a green-house plant, u well
treated. Of course, if the child was al
ready dying nothing could save it, or if has
effusions m the lining of the heart or brain
it is much better it should die. But if the
above is applied under the eyes and direc
tion of a competent physician I will guar
antee that one in a hundred children will
ever die of scarlet fever. I know this will
startle some of my readers, especially those
who have lost children already, but I shall
iro still further. I maintain that a child
will never get scarlet fever if properly treat
cd. If a child has correctly mixed blood
it will not catch the disorder if put in with
but nothing is easier of proof.

We are now stipplylng our nnmerous custom era
with this Flour, and have never known any to vary
from our repn-sentatlon. Its peculiar proems and tha
unejualKl facilities this great flouring mill posseMn,
makts ii superior to any known. Considering its
superfine qualifies, there are many reasons v by it Is
the best, and therefore tho
CHEAPEST FLOUR IN TOE COUNTRY.
It Is purposely aflaptod for bread, but cannot b
excelled for any use, and is particularly fine for pastry.
The increased demand for this flour has never Ix ea
equalled in this market. We have every advantage,
as we purchase from the manufacturers and thereby
have established a price within the reach of all ai d
hope to make this the most popular flour in townr
which can be bad at all times at the I. X. L Grocers,
