WASHINGTON, March 4. General Graut Was inaugurated as Presi dent of tho United States shortly after noon to day, in tho presonco of ono of tho most immense lissomblages ever gathered in tho na timmi Capital. Tho display was magnificent. Thc proces sion which escorted tho President elect from his headquarters' to the capitol was the graini est ever seen hore. Thc whole city was gai ly decorated with flags, nod the secession of the new Pre ident was welcomed by salvo? of artillery both nt tl o spot nod all the military posts in the neighborhood, i The ceremony of .swearing in General Grant touK place on a largo platform on the East front ol the Capitol, where thousands could see, but few could hear what wan said. General Grunt delivered his inaugural in a rather low voice, as follows : INAUGURAL ADURKSe: Ci (?zr nt of th* United States :- Your t?uf frag?-? hs vint: elected me to the office af Pren, idetit of the United States. I hare, in con formity with the Constitution of oar country, tnt est the n?th without ai cn tal reeervatioa and wwh the d?termination to do, to the beet of aiy ability, all that it requires of me, The responsibilities of the position I feel, hst accept them ^>th^M^S9ff?L^o/fiee hr.s come to HIP Hn*(iughl^^.^^o'nvAiHi<ll?^^tic? untr*mm?lle^JHHH,v ffllifr&ittMli desire and <M8HHB ?rfBBP nf my ability ?#3 ,l Hsfiflpl On all leadirrm^^^fl' ?

I SIIHII on all subject? have a policy to ia?e- ; omniend. but none to enforce against the'Vill of the people. Laws ar? to govern all alike, thoa?' opposed to. na well na thone who fayer them. I know no method to secure the re- . peal of had or obnoxious laws so effective na their stringent execution. The country having just emerged from a '. great rebellion, many questions will ooma be. fore it for settlement in the next four year* which preceding administrations have nev-r had to deal with In meeting these, it ia de nirable that they should be approached calmly, without prejudice, hate or sectional pride -*g| remembering 'hst the greatest good uf-4UJH greatest number ta the object to be att.yjfl ? of person, property and for religious *iid*fffl litieal opinion in every part of oar COIIMMO country, without regard to loon! prejudice*^ Laws to secure these ends will receive my best efforts for their enforcement. A great debt has heen contracted in seou. ring to us and our posterity thc Union. Th? payment of the principal and interest, asja^^ ns the return to s specie b isis ns soon as ??H be accomplished without material dctrlvfl^H to the debtor classer to the country at lartraji must be provided for to protect the national honor. Every dollar ot Govern nent indcht ness should be paid in gold, Unless otb .Twine expressly stipulated in the contract. Let it be Understood that no repudiation of one farthing of our public debt will be trus ted in public place, and it will go fir tow rds strengthening a credit which ought tu he the bist in the Wot M. and will lilli oat' Iv enable u> t-? replace the debt with h<oids hearing less 1 interest than we now pay. To thisVmuMbo added s faithful collection of the revenue, a strict accountability to the treasury for every I dollar collected, and the greatest practicable retrenchment in expenditure in every depart ! mont of the Government. When we emu I pure the paying capacity of tho country t.ow ! with ten States stiil in poverty from the effects of war, hu? soon to emerge, I ttusl, in great er prosperity than ever before, with its paying capacity twenty five years seo, and calculate what it probably will be twenty fJvo years hoi.oe, who can doubt the feasibility of pay ing every dollar then with more ease thsn we now pay for useless luxuries. Why, it looks .8 though Providence had bestowed upon us a strong box; the precious met ?ls locked up in thc sterile mountains of tho far West, which wo aro now forging the key to unlock to u ed the very contingency that is now up on us. Ultimately it may be neccessary to increase the facilities fi reach these riches, and it may be neeeessary also thut tho General Govern ment should give its aid to secure this access. ! Hut thut should only bc when ti dollar of ob , ligation to pay secures tho dollar, to us now, ' und not before. Whilst the question of ape eic payment I" O' abeyance tho prudent, btisi ness man iii Oiref?j! about contracting debts payable in tho distant futuro, and the nation should follow tho a ime ruht. A prostrate commerce is to be rebuilt, and all industries encouraged Tim young men, ' of tho country, tluisa who from their air? must be its ruler? twonty flvo y para "henee, have a greater interest in rnnintaining the national honor. A moment's reflection as to what will he our commanding influence among tho na tions of the earth in their day, if \ ey are I only true to themselves, should inspiro them With Ditional pride. All divisions, gcograph ' leal, political and religious, can join in this common sentiment. I How the public debt ia to be pod or speoio payments resumed, is it not wo important os that a policy should he adopted and acqui esced in. The determination . to dois worth I moro than divided councils upon the method ' of doing. L?gislation upon thia subject may not bo necessary mw, nor even advisable ; but I it will be when tho civil law ll pore fully re stored itt BII parts of the couti try, nnd trudo resumes it wonted ohiinncls. It will he my endeavor to execute all lawn j in good faith, to collect all revenues assessed! and to have them properly accounted for and economically disbursed. I will, to the boBtof my ability, appoint to oftlco ouly those who will carry out tina de sign In regard to foreign polioy, I would doal with nations as cqt itablo law requires indi vidual to deal with ?ach other, aud I would protect tho law abiding oitis- ns, whether; of nativo or of foreign birth, wherever his rights are jeopardized or tho flag of our oountry floats. I would respeot the rights of ?ll mi tions, demanding equal respect for our own. If others depart from this rulo in their desi inga with as we may bo compelled to follow thoir precedent. The proper treatment of tho original occupant? of thia land, the In dia?, ia one deaorving of careful study. I will favor ?ny course towards them which tend? to their civilization, ohristianiaation and ultimate citiaeoship. The question of suff rage is one whioh is likely to agitate the public *o lowg an ? portion of their domain ie ta ba exoluded fram its privilege? ia any State. It seems to ma very desirable that thia question should be settled now, and I entertain the the hope that I but express the desire that it may be by ?he ratification of the Fifteenth Article of amendment to the Constitution In conclusion, 1 ask patient forbearance, [one towards another, throughout the laud ?nd ,a determined effort on the part of every citi zen to do hi? share towards cementing a hap py union ; and I ask the prayers of the us tina to Almighty Qod in behalf of this con summation. Ginara! Chant's Cabinet The announcement, of ?he new Cabinet will be reoeived willi surprise by the country. Aa we know very little of the gentlemen named, we ?hall not venture to discuss the matter Our ootnmpnrsry of ?ha "Charleston Newa" gives the fottnwieg sketch of the members of ?he Cabinet : Mr. K?hn B. Washburn?, of Illinois, the new Secretary of State, wt? born in Maine, in 1816, served an spprenficsship in n printing office, stu li>'d law in Howard University, ?nd rem Ting tu tho Wast, practiced law at Calena, Illili ? a. He was elected .? Representative tn the t' irty-third 0 nigra?? from that State, ?nd te elected to the thirty-fourth, thirty fifth and Congresses, nerving on two ceca lhairnian of the Committee on Oma fenth Int. e the the office of Lic? as conferred tin Cen to the thirty^ Mr. Wash! in bringing nuder the Lincoln since been bia bim countenance and strength when the popular tide ran against j him. There seems to be a long link of sym 1 pithy between President Grant and the vete ! ran Congressmen, who ba? for some time been j regarded by the public ss. the coming powe* behind the thron? Mr. Washbnrne has been 1 noted in Congress for bia bitter and nncom pro ising opposition to financial rings and p'nmlering cliques, ?nd ha? fairly won ! the brave title of ..Watch dm of the Treas* rf.'* He is a decided though not an extreme Republican, ?nd is likely tn throw all his in flnence on the side of retrenchment and an ?conomie d ad ninistration. Mr. A. T. Stewart, the dry treads million ?ire, of New York city, who is to preside over tho Treasury Department, is new to political ! life. A Scotchman by birth, he began bis o.trecr in a very humble position, and working his way up by integrity, resolution nnd self denial, ia now able to count his property hy ten? of miHiona of dollars. Mr. Stewart, we believe, has never be.m guilty of a generous ' action, being ss remarkable for his iuflexibilty in enaoting the last farthing whioh is his due \ as for his astonishing commercial success. I As an executive and administrative officer he j will have but few equals, and if ho devotes td national affairs, ns ho doubtless will, thu nidi* I ity, the honesty and the incorruptibility which have marked hi? individual oarecr there are hard times in Btore for the theivef and plunderers who grow fat by feeding al the public crib M r. Stewart ia well ndvaueed in years,, but is full of lifo and vigor. General Schofield, as was intimated b) G.mei al G raitt previous to his inauguration will rot du, for tho present, the portfolio o W'f. I Mr" Adolpho li. Hofio, of Pennsylvania, th? S 'oretary of tho Navy, is a rotired merchant of Philadelphia, having for many yours beei engaged in tho W ist India trade, from willoi he reaped a princely fortuno Ho is regarder ns ono of the wealthiest men in tho country His private oharnoter is spotless j but ho hm never boon mixed up In polities- During tin war he wis an activo worker in behalf of tin Un UM o m?e. and he served for several yean na Vioo Proaidont of the Union League.

Gen oral Cox is a man of first rate Ability, and U moderate in his political opinions. Senator J. A. J. Cresswell, of Maryland the Q6W Postmaster Goucrnl, Wa? born ii 1828, and cunio to tho bar in 1850. Tie waa a member of thc Mn ry In nd II ouse of Deice ates in 18(51 and 1802, and was oleoted a Repre sentativo to tho 88th Contr?es. In March, 1805, ho wno ohosun United State?

He is about fifty years of apo, sud seven'' years ago relinquished a luorative practice for tba scat on the Supreme Bunoh of Massachusetts, which hu hss since held. He is said to be a mun of tho highest integri ty and very positive in his manners. WASHINGTON, Muroli 0.-Tho /louse was not in suasion to day. Committees will be . announced on Tuesday. The Cabinet met to day-??sent Hoar and Cox. The Cabinet appointments excite no enthusiasm. M ?chi iran, Wisconsin aud Illinois have ratified the fifteenth amendment. In the 9? ?ute, Stunner introdnoed a bill se. curing equal rights in the District of Colum bia, and tnwved ita ptecent consideration.. Vickers objected, and it went over. Bills were introduced reorganising the Navy De partment, defining an i amending ' tho Act punishing oriiue against the United State?, I repealing the eighth section nf the Act ea tubiiWhitig the Treasury Department, prohib? | tina: further treaties with Indian?, improving and enlarging the harbor af Mobila. The Chair laid before the Senate the following from the President : TO TH is SKNATK or TH? UNITED STATIS : Since the nomination and confirmation of Al exander Stewnrt to the office of Secretary of the Treaanry, I find that b*y the eight, ueetim ! af th? Act of Congress, approved September ?2,1780, it te provided ae follows, to-wit: (Section here quitted.) In view of these pro [ visions, and the fact that Mr. Stewart had i been nnauimonsly confirmed by the Senate, I would aak that he be exempted by joint reso lution of tho two Houses of Congraas from tre operations ot the same. Sharman intro doced a Bill repealing thc said eighth section, but providing that thc Secretary ?hall act in I no caso in which he ia personally interested j and asked the present consideration of the j bill. Sumner objected. He thought the mat j ter ought to receive tho most careful and pro found eonaidcratioa. The removal of politi cal disabilities was discussed to adjourn ment. It is said that Wnshburne will decline the Secretaryship of State on account of il' j health, Grant has not yet announced bis private Secretary. His staff officers are acting in that capneity. Sherman retains Dent, Com stock ?nd Porter, of Grant's staff in their former positions.

GOINO SOUTH-There are indications that ?irly in the spring, there will be a oonsidcra. ble current ot immigration to tho Southern flta te?, particularly from tho region of the Ohio Uiver Tho rioh landa of South Caro lina. Georgia ?nd tho Gulf Stutes only need to be tickled with . boo to laugh with a har ?cat. Tho great need of the South is capital, .nd this tho North might easily supply, ac companying it, too, with ?killed white labor, th? mero example of which would infute new hopes ?nd renewed lifo into thc half bankrupt .nd wholly discouraged planters. We hope this emigration will take pince, .nd indeed, we see nothing to prevent it. General Grunt proposes to bethe people's utid not tho politicians President. Already wo know that the leaders under Jefferson Davis .re willing to accept Grant, and are working ?eslously to bring in the States yet unrecon structed. Mississippi is one of t eso States, .nd iu her oaso Hon. Albert Drown tho ac knonledged leudar of the Deumen?tic party, says: " With all our hearts we respond to the noble sontinicut of the President -elect Lek us have peace. It is the cherished hope of ?mr bosoms, and tho ainoores wish of our heurts, thu we may have no more strife" Mr. Brown asks Congruas to stand squarely by the reconstruction moasures as originally pissed, and assures us that tho peoplo of his State will come up to them in good faith. Ttww i?. therefore, no grouu 1 for Mppre betiding disorders to ?ny extent in the South.
