MR. Liscoues INAUGARATION:The . Committee on the Inauguration, at Wash ngton,,haie*fully agreed 'on their pro gramme. At.first it was decided to ad mit the people into the Capitol, but the objections to this were at - once apparent, and the usual mode of procedure at pre viOus inaugurations was followed. The platform has been erected on th e Eastern portico of the Capitol. The assertion of SqutOrn journals that mili tary and civic , companies will join in any procession or escort for the President elect are entirely without foundation.— No militnry, companies from a distance have signified their intention ,to, be in Washington, and those in the city will not turn oat, of course. The regular forces ROW : in Washington will , not serve as an escort. p. A PRESENT TO MRS.

Montgomery Blair, of Maryland; will ^be called upon to fill the other two positions. The President elect speaks in glowing terms of. his reception by the authorities and people of Pennsylvania, and it is everywhere admitted that his best speech es were made in the Keystone State.
