Simforj American; N. B. MASSER, t. WILVERT. Editors. SUNBURV, MARCH 8, 183. WUfi'-l'. '- l 1 - J i 1 -. - ' Tuesday, tie 4th Irreti, wits ti reJ-!ctter day in Washington. Never before hare Ilia ccruinotiics nttcndiug the inauguration cil a President of tbo United State buen no Imposing ; ncvif beforu, savu Vhcu thu prnnd array was reviewed in 1805, has such tt procession swept through Tenuyl vanht avenue as that which on Tuesdny, ac companied President Grant to the Capitol. For a republican government, tho first rule of which is supposed to be simplicity and absence of vain show, perhaps the demon titration wtts too excessive, butltmusi, bo borne in mind that, with the exception of ;i small portion of the military, President G rant's escort was a volunteer escort, formed of military aud civic organizations from all parts of tho coutvtry, the .numbers of which name to 'Washington of their own freo will, to do honor 'to a man in whom they had trust and confidence. Regarded in this light, H was cry "meet that this thiua should be done" that a popular nvatiou should 'bo tendered to a President elected by a majority unparalleled in the history enhe nation ; and the escort, forty ihousaT.t! strong, which nccompanied Grant yesterday to the Capitol, was but a lit expression of the regard felt for him by tho people of the United States. W ii at Constitutes Gambling. Chief Justice Thompson, iu a recent case, gave his opinion of gambling in the following words : "Anything which induces men to risk their money and property without any other hope of return than to get for nolhiug any given amount from another, is gamb ling, and demoralizing to the community, no matter by what name it may be called. It is the same, whether tlio promiHe be to p ty on tho color of a card or tho fleetness o" a horse, aud the aamo numerals indi cate how much is lost or won iu cither case, and the losing party has received just as much for the money parted with in one case as the other, viz: nothing nt all. The lucky winner is of course the gainer, and he wiil contiuuo so until fickle fortuue, in duo time, rnake3 him feel the woes he has inflicted on other All gaming is im moral. I apprehend that the losses inci dent to the practice disclosed within the past five years, have contributed more to the failures and embezzlements of public j officers, clerka, agents and others acting in fiduiciary relations, public and private, than any other known, or perhaps all other causes; and the worst of it is, that iu the train of evils thero is a vast amount of mis ery aud suffering by.peraons entirely guilt less of any participation in the cause of it. The advantages of publishing suits of real estate and personal property in the lo cal newspaper in nddition to liacdbiihi, is clearly set forth iu the following article from the Lexvisbunj Chronicle : "Would it not be well for those who in tend having public sales to advertise, tho leading articles iu the local newspapers, in addition to having bills printed 'i Bills are all right, and quite advantageous ; but ad vertising iu a newspaper, we. think, has ad ditional advantages. Hills are posted iu public places where few, comparatively, see thtro, and the female portion of the community have little or no opportunity to learn what articles are to be sold, .'ews parcrs go into peoples' houses, where till have a clmnce at them. Very few persons have more than fifty bills printed. These may be seen aud read by live times that number. All advertisements (say in this paper) get 12U0 impressions, and is Been by at least five times that number, or 6,000. Theadvantnpes ofndvertUing sales, we thiil'i, is sufficiently clear, without urg ing tho matter." The Modoc Iudiiiu Trouble. San Francisco, March 4. A courier arrived at Yreka Inst uight from the fruut. lie says that on tho arrival of 3udge Rose borough and Elijah Steele at headquarters, n proposition for thu settlement of the Midoo troubles was submitted, and on Friday, Steele, with an interpreter and others, went to Captain Jack's camp, where he remained all night. Tho pro position was made that the Modocs should Murrender as prisoners of war and be re moved to some reservation outside of Ore gon, probably Arizona, and be provided for by the government. To this the In ilians nil agreed, and eight of Captain Jack's braves uecompanieil Steele to Fair child's rniuhe, to confer with Geueral Can ity and the Commissioners, where they were on Sunday evouing. When the courier left, Captain Jack was sick, and it would therefore require several days to complete the treaty, when it will havo to be approved by the authorities ut Washington. Captain Jack claiins that his people are not to blame for killing settlers, us the citizens commenced by killing one of his squaws and children. The feeling here is that the murderers of the settlers should be punished iuslead of complete amnesty being granted, as pro posed D3' the Commissioners. The speech 'of Captain Jack to Mr. Steel is a reiteration of the Modoc chiefs former statement of his view s and wishes. Ho denies that ho commenced the war, or that he desires to continue the conllict, aud says he always lived iu peace, and wanted to do no, until the troop sntninem-cd operations against hiin. Hi declined to go to Canby's cimpto-d.iy. (Steele goes back to the lava beds to try to induce Captain Jack and Sehouches to come out and conclude the terms of the proposed treaty. The people of Oregon were not inforrund of the action of the pence commis-ioners until this morninz, and it is not kivnvn what course the civil' authorities of that Htalu will pursue with reference to the in dictments of Modocs for the murder of their people. A despatch from Jacksonville, Oregon, says thu people in that part of tho State are not willing to accept any terms with the Modocs which do uot provide for the sur render to the civil authorities of the In dians indicted for murder. Tho Peace Commission met yesterday, nnd considered diU'eieut propositions for negotiations with thu Modocs in secret sessiuu. Meicham thought them fuir aud l-.onor.iblfc.Cana andApplegate opposed any thing short of unconditional surrender. A fit! the Mssmn the Indians called io Mr. Meacham, who distinctly stated the.tarros to thetn. General Can by promised then) food, clothing, protection and amnesty. Applegate sent in his resignation an com. niissioner, to lake effect as soon as the war is closed. Steele aud Riddle started for CsjMii Jsk s ramp to dsy, PRESIDENT OR ANT, HIS SECOND INAUGURATION TI1B PA RADB AND TUB TEOPLE THE IKAU QUllAL ADDREBH, ETC. Washington, March 4, 1873. , Tho second inauguration of President Grant took place to-day, and as was anti cipated, proved an evect of more than usual interest. Tho weather was very cold, in fact one of the coldest days of the season. Notwithstanding this, the thor oughfares were crowded at an enrly hour, and continued so throughout the day. The decorations along the avenue could not be excelled, although the wind played sad ha voc with many uo specimens. More than twenty arches of flags and bunting spanned tho avtnue and various streets through which tho procession passed. The crowd along the avenue who witnessed the procession, numbered fully a hundred thousaud, and never has "Washington seeu such a throug before. The hotels wore filled to overflowing, and last night many were compelled to leave the city to seek lodgings. Tho city was filled with pick pockets from Baltimore, Philadelphia, nud New York, aud must hnvo dono a thriv ing business, judging from the numerous complaints mailo at police head quarters. The precession formed at 10 o'clock, and at once took up tho line of march, in ac cordance with the programme. Tho line halted to take up the President, President-' elect, in accordance with previous arrange ments, who for the occasion was seated in an open barouche, drawn by four beauli f eft ioi see. This occupied only a few mo ments, and then tho line moved on. The sight was truly inspiring. Tho long line ot human beings in their dresses of vari ous colors, the clashing of swords, the glistening of rifles, tho prancing of steeds all seemed to enthuse the looker on. On reaching the platform tho President elect took the seat provided for him in frout of the centre, Vice President Colfax, and Sergeant at Arms having the ceremonies in llinrgu sitting on Lis right, and Chief Justice Chase on .his loft. Near General Grant, on 'the platform, sat Sirs. Grant, accompanied by several of their children, the President's brother Orville, M:s. Sharpo.nud several other relatives of the fa mily. The appearance of General Graut on the platform was greeted with cheers, aud blasts of music from the bands of the mili tary and civic organizations participating in the ceremonies. The noise of tho greet ing was hushed as the President-elect, and Chief Justice simultaneously arose, and the latter commeuced to recite the formula of tho President's oath of office which Gen. Graut took with head uncovered, nnd re sumed his seat for a few moments, while the booming of cannon, the ringing of bells, and the shouts of the vast coucouise, burst forth with deafening effect, and cheer alter cheer went up with a volume. After partial quiet had been restored, the President arose, aud in a voice not heard except by persons on or ucuv the platform, he proceeded to read his SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Fkixow-citizens: Under Providence I have been called u second time to act us Executive over this great nation. Il bus been my endeavor in the pnsl to maintain nil the laws, ami so fur as lny in my power, to net for the best interests of the whole people. My best efforts will be uiven In the tame direction in the future, aided, i trust, tiy my lour yenrs' experience :n the office When my lirH term of the office of Chief Ex ecutive begun the country bud uot recovered from the elici ts of u great iulcrual revolution, mi J three of the former flutes of the Union had not been restored to tb'.'ir Federal rehitious. It seem ed to me wise thut no new question should be raised so long tie that condition of nil. lire existed. Thcrclore, the part lour years, so fur us I could control events, have been consumed in the ef fort to rcFtorc harmony, public credit, commerce nnd nil the arts of pence and progress. It is my firm convict Inn that the civilted World is tend ing towurrts republicanism, or government by tho people tluuiu'ij ll.eir chosen representatives, nnd that our uwn.gieut Republic is destined to be the guUl'isgsuiruc id! o. Iters. Under our Republic wc support an army less than that of any Euro-, pe.iu power of any standing, nud n navy leisj than I list of either of nt least tive of them. There could be no extension of territory on this ronliucut which would cull for an increase of this force, but rather might such cxtcuslou enable us to diminish it. The theory of Government changes with the general progress. Now that lite telegraph is made uvuiluble for communicating thought, to gether with rapid transit by steam, nil parts of a continent ur made contiguous fornll purposes of govcrumeut, and communication between the extreme limits of the cnuutry made easier than it was throughout the old thirteen States ut lUu bcuiuning of our national existence. The elfecls of the lulu civil strife have been to free the slave and make him a citizen. He Is uot possessed of the civil rinhts which citizen ship should carry with it. This U wrong, nnd should be corrected. To this correction I stand committed so far as Exu.utivc iuaucuee.eau avail. Social equulityl uoi a euojeci in oe legislated upon, nor shall 1 ask that anything he done to advance the social status of the colored man except to give liim u fair chnuee to dcvrlopwh.it there is good in him. Give him access to schools, aud when he travels let him feel assured that Ills conduct will regu late tlie treatment and fare he will receive. The ttales lately at war sltli thu General Govern ment are now happily rehabilitated, and no Kx ceutive control is exercised in any one t.f them that would not t,e t x"relfcd in any other tjtute under IlV c p'.rcniustances. In tho lirst year of the past Adinlulctrution, the proposition camu up for 'he admission of Santo Doartugo as a tenitoryof th'i Vuion. It was not afiuc.Mioi, of myseeking, hut was a pro position from the people of Cumo Ioiniugo, and which 1 enlcrtniunl. I believe now, us I did then, th at it was for the hrst Interests of this country, lorthe people of Santo Domingo, and all concerned, tl:at the pioposttion should be re ceived favorably. It was, however, rejected con stiiutionaliy, and therefuie the subject was uever brought up again bv me. In future, while i hoi 1 my prtsent oltlcc, the subject of acquisition ot territory must have the Mlpl'Ort of the people h. fure J will recommend any proposiiiou lookii; to such acquisition. I say here, botvever, I hut I do not sharu in the apprehension held by inuuy as to the danger of governments becoming weakened and dcrtroyed I y reason of their extension of territory. f.'cinniercn, education and rapid transit of thought and matter ty telegraph and steam have dialed nil tins, r.athei iio l helievo that our Great Mukcr is preparing the world in Ills own good time to become oue cation, speaking oue language, aud when armies nud navies will be no longer required. My efforts in the future will be directed to the restoration of good feeling between th did'erent sections of our common country, to the restora tion of our cuneocy to a fixed value as compared with the world's standard of value golu aud, If possible, to a pur with it; to the construction of cheap routes ol transit throughout the land, to the end that tho products of all sections may find a market and leave u living remuneration to the protlucori to the maintenance of friendly rela tions with ll our neighbors and with l be distant nations) to the rs-esiablishmeul of our 90111 merc and share In the carrying trade upou the ocean; to the encouragement of such manufac turing Industries as can b ecouomieully pur sued io this country, to tha end thut the e.:parts of home products and Industries may pay for oar Imports, the only surs way of rtuink.g Io and permanently inauiiuiuintf a specie basis; to tuu eltvatios ij lubor, and by a huuiune course to tHiii.' the arxnn.'uus of fc.o count ly under the le sign icQUeoces 1 education aud civilization. Il Is either tbU )r s'V o( sviraitnstlou. , Vsrs of extermination, snpnRod In by peoplo pann ing commerce, nnd nil Industrial pursuits, are expensive ecn Against the weakest people, and are demoralising and wicked. Our superiority of strength nnd advantages of civilization should make ns lenient towards the Indian. The wrongs Irendy Inuicted upon him should be taken into account, nnd tha balance placed to his credit. The moral view of the question should be con sidered, and the question asked, Cannot the In dian bo made a sefnl nnd productive member of society by proper teaching and treatment? If tne euon is macio in good fnltn we will stand better before the civilized rations of the earth nndonrown consciences for hnvlng made it. All these things n re not to be accomplished bv any one Individual, but they will receive my sup port ana suca recommendations 10 congress ns will, in tnv ludgmont. best serve to enrrv them Into effect. 1 I beg your support aud encourage ment. I: has been and Is my earnest desire to correct abuses that have grown up in the civil service of the conntry. To seenre this reformation rules regulating methods of appointment and promo tion were established nnd have been tried. My efforts for such reformation shall be continued to the beet of my judgment. The spirit et tho rules adopted will be malntuioca. I acknowledge before this assembly, K'preent tng, as It docs, every soctlon of onr country, the obligation I nm under tomyceuntrymen for tho great honor they have conferred on mo by return ing me to the highest olllce within their gift, and the further obligation resting on me to render to them the best services within my power. This I promise, looking forward witluhe great est anxiety to the day w hen I shnll be released from responsibilities that nt times are nlmoet overwhelming, and from which I hnvo scarcely had n respite since tho oventlul tiring upon f ort Bumpier In April, 1SC1. to the present day. My services were then tendered aud accepted under the Hist cull for troops growing out of thntereut. I did not nsk for place or position, nnd was en tirely without Influence or the acquaintance of persons of influence, but was resolved to perform my part in s struggle threatening tho Very exis tence of the nation, a conscientious duty, with out asking promotion or command, and without a revengeful feeling towards any section or In dividual. Notwithstanding this, throughout thf war, and from niv candidacy for my present oftlts In 1868 to tho close of the last Presidential campaign. I have been tho subject of abuse nnd (lander scarcely over equaled In political history, which to-day I feel that I can ull'ord to disregard iu view of your verdict, w hich I gratefully accept as my vindication. At the conclusion of the address, the President was warmly congratulated by his friends, and soon after left in his car riage for the White House, escorted by the processiou, which, having formed and ta ken up its line of march, most of the out side crowd followed to their homes, while tho Senate returned to its chamber, and the inauguration ceremonies at the Capitol were concluded. THE INAUGURATION BALL. The inauguration ball was largely attend ed. The dancing was interrupted nt half past 11 by tho entrance of the President, who was escorted by Gov. Cooke, and A. R. Shepard, followed by Vice President Wilson. The Japanese Minister was pre sent, accompanied by a lady iu full Japa nese costume. The West Point and An napolis Cadets were present as iuvitsd guests. The grand banquet was on a magnificent scale, uud proved satisfactory to everybody, tho only detraction being the iusufllcient arrangements made for warming tho hall which caused many of the ladies to wear their winter wrappings duriug the evening. EXTEX-SEN OT THE AIC9IY. SPEECH OF SENATOR. CAMERON. When the appropriation for the support of the army was under consideration iu the United States Senate, on the 25lh ult., Mr. Casserly, of California, compared tlie cost of maintaining our army v. ith that of maintaining the army of Great Britain, concluding his remarks as. follows: I think! observed this morning iu the newspapers a telegraphic dispatch that tho estimates lor the liritwh nrmv for the pres ent year were about 5'70,0UO,O00 gold. That is fourteen million .pounds sterling; nnd out of that they support a regular line of more than one hundred and twenty-five thousand meu, besides a largo number of militia and yeomanry, the whole of those additional forces equuliug one hundred and eighty thousand men; so that our army costs us say S 2S.OO0,0U0 iu gold for less than thirty thousand men, and their army of over three hundred thousand men costs them about 870,000,000, gold. And yet wo all know that tlie pay aud compensation of the higher ollicer in ithe'Uritish army. and in that I uieau to include colonels, is a much larger ura than auy thing that wo pav to our, higher ollicers. Mr. Cameron It is true, as the Senator from California snys, that our army is the most ey.pensivo anny iu the world per heed. Tho rc.iBon why that is so, in the first place, is because our army is a smaller one than that of other nations; aud, of course, tho expense of a smaller body is greater per head than that of a larger as every one readily perceives. Besides that, ull thu members of our army arc fellow-citizens. When a man leaves his pur suits as a private citizen at home aud en ters our army, especially in time of war, ho continues a citizen, and wo treat our army belter than any nrmy in tho world. This debate has brought to my mind an incident that occurred at the time I hap pened to be in Loudon in lfcO-', at the be ginning of our war, at a time when almost everybody abroad thought this country miiKi succumb to the rebellion of the South. I was invited to a breakfast, at which there were fifteen or twenty gentlemen of high position, men of title, and I believe all of them members of Parliament, lluriug the conversation at thu table an inquiry was mmlu ua to Uie luos iif a soldier per year iu the United States. They were trying to conviucu me that we had 110 chance of pre serving the Union intact. Tho wish was father to the thought with all of them. They thtught that this, tho lust great re public, would bo destroyed because of its own want ot stictigln to keep itself together. 1 said the cost of a soldier in the United States was a thousand dollars a year, and it nr.tonibhed everybody present. Then my inquiry -was, "what doc it cost to feed uud tiiiihe nud keep a soldier iu Great Bri tain':"' The auswer was t'JOO. The dif ference was immense. I was asked for the reasons, and I gave the reason which 1 have now given, that hero every man hns a common interest in the country, and it is the interest of those of us who are not in the at my, to feed and clothe those who go into the army as we would bo fed aud clothed ourselves; tlay ure our brothers, our cousius, our relatives, our associates in every way. Then I inquired about the cost of a soldier in various countries. I do not remember all of thutu, but seventy-five dollars was stated to uu tho cost ot main taining a soldier in Russia. The moineut a inau became a soldier in any of those countries, until the roc-tut war in Ger many, he became u slave, aud ho was fed and clothed aud used liko the ucgro slaves of our owu country. Mr, President, it is lwcauso of this dif ference in the treatment and slandtug of a soldier in our country that wo can always provide an army .capable of prestrviug tin liberties of .Ibis couulrv agitiusl all foes, foruijia anU,doiueslie. They are part and narcul of ourselves, aud they live as wu do. Ko other soldiers ia the world ever got cof fee or tea tr sugar or potatoes as a part ot' their ratious. i remember myself, in thii country, in tha wsrof lttl'J, when weconiei our regulations from England, iur soldier) got a pound of beef, a pound of bread, and half a pint of vinegar as the whole ration. They got two pairs of socks, no great coat, no other covering except a cotton shirt, with no under drawers, and a pair of woolen pautalonns in the winter and a woolen coat, aud light ones In the summer. Then we copied from ' England; but nines that time our government bas grown in strength, and every man In the country soon began to know his own rights and to feel that he was a part of the government, aud he would have compelled them, if his rulers had hot given him what he wanted, to clothe him as a man ought to be clothed and as a brother ought to be clothed when he Is defending his country. We give our soldiers good rations, plenty to eat and to wear; we not only provide his outside uni form, but give hint undershirts, flannels, drawers, and make other provisions which Show our care for him. Then look at our pension lint. Wo pay 830,000,000 a year to our disabled soldiers, and the widows and orphans of those who have given their-lives fof their country. What other nation has thus cured for its defenders? It is this policy which fills our army in time of emergency. Another advantage that we derive is that the expenses of our army aro so great that everybody is interesuxl In keeping them down, and tho peopl's will tiut go to war if they can help it.

Pursuant to call,' the toekholders of tho Northern Central Railroad held a meeting to-day at noon nt Calvert Station, North Calvert street, for rtte purpose of holding its annual election for a IJoanl of Directors, and to receive the report of the present Board. As the hour of noon approached there was quite a largo gathering of solid men, financially speaking, including many of the most prominent business men, and also financial gentlceien of Pennsylvania, who are interested in the affairs of the Northern Central Railroad.

The resolutions are as follows : PROPOSITION TO LEA-tSK TUB ROAD. licsokcil, That a committee be appoint ed to negotiate with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the permanent lease of the Northern Central Railway, and its brauch roads, to that 'Company, the same to he based on an anuual rental on its cap ital stock, and the payment of the interest on all its obligations growing out of such leases, aud indebtedness of every descrip tion, aud tho payment of thu same as it ma tures ; or iu the lien thereof, un inter change of stock so as to merge this compa ny into the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa ny upon an equitable basis : any agtee menl to bo subject to the confirmation of tho stockholders at an adjourned meeting, to be called on ten days' public notice. llcfoheil, That when we adjourn, we ad journ to meet at tlie call of tho foregoing committee. The reading of tho report and tho ac companying resolutions attracted thu tar nest attention of all present, who now crowded tho directors' room until even 6tauding room become scarce, aud many were obliged to catch what they could of tho proceedings from positions iu the hall. It was manifest from tho large attendance, and the buzz of tho conversation, that tho mee ting was one of no com 111 on importance. Tho rumors that have been in circulation for sumo weeks past of a movement look ing to tho accomplishment of the proposed leasing of tbo road to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company, had prepared, uo doubt, all who immediately who were stockholders iu great interest ftr what the directors had to recommend, but neverthe less there was something very much like excitement among some, as they leut au ea ger car .to.ca toll the language of the repoit.

Mr. John Holland, of Phila delphia, stepped forward and, with somo indications of excitement, said he had a re solution to oiler in reference to the report, which ho proceeded to read, in effect, that tho report of the Board of Directors be printed for the information of the stock holders, nnd that the said report be recom mitted, with instructions to furnish certain additional .information. ' Mr. Holland said ho was tho owucr of 000 shares of the company, and proceeded to rend a long speech, embodying as one of his references the entire report ol the Board of Directors for the year 1S04, and theu passing on to review somewhat sharply tho subsequent management of the road. Mr. Keuuedy asked to interrupt the gen tleman to call attention to tho fact that the .charter of the compnny required tho elec tion for directors to take p'uuo between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock P.

CORRESPONDENCE. ; .1 Letter from Philadelphia. ' . v PniLiDii.pni, March 4, 1973. Frimd Wilrtrti- Business preventing my going to Wash ington to-day, and having no axo to grind, no desire to go and not being much of an admirer of jams, especially in cold, wet weather, I will devote the day, or portion thereof, tu dropping yon a line. Ouce more the whirlngig of time brings ns to another Inauguration Day, and with il ends the Grst four years of General Grant's administration of tho honorable position of Chief Magistrate of this great Republic. Looking back over the past term, as he un doubtedly must and will to-dny, when en tering upon his second term, he may well be proud of his record. Pour years of un interrupted peace and prosperity at home and abroad our gigantic debt greatly re duced, and with it tho burdens of taxation so greatly lessened, nud at its close the fin ger of scorn pointed at so many of tlie un worthy representatives of his party so many hitherto looked up to by the people with trust and confidence; yet without an intimation of his conuectiou therewith, his skirts clear of even suspicion; aud above all, his almost unanimous re-election to the position formerly held by the immortal Washington and his noble successors down to our loved aud martyred Lincoln. Con trast the position of thiuzs to-day with the situation when he grasped the reius of state, wheu tho country had just passed through a successful though bloody civil strife and lind since been nearly ruined by a dishonored Executive, wheu financial ruin seemed immineut--theti his stern, un flinching honesty brought us through cleared away the meshos of incompetency anu at tne expiration ot his term receives the well merited plaudils of a grateful con stituency, iu d enters upon his second term with the; encouraging prospects, if as suc cessful in it ns iu the first, of receiving upon his retiring therefrom the grateful thanks of the people, and rest, after his evcnlful and honored career, with tlie bless ing of "well done thou good and faithful servant," resting upon him, and be carried into history as oue who served his country well, nnd proves to doubters the fallacy of the old adage that "Republics are ungrate ful." While on the subject of new regimes nbout commencing, 1 nee your people have done a very sensible act in continuing in office tlie eliitic.nt Chief Burgess of tho past year. We can all se tho good he has done, nud itis well it should be continued. If a town is to improve and assume its proper station in this progressive age, it must be by encouraging improvement, by judicious expenditure of the public money, nud now that tin: tMtinty has rid itself of its drawback iu its dishonest otlicials, it is good that tbo county seat should be rid of its incubus of old-fogy ism aud spirit of op position to improvement.
