..?a**-, - . ? r By T?le?trapn. Cable Ooapatche?. BEI?TJN, March 4.-King William, ?pon opening the North German Parliament, said that the first daly of the North Gor? man Confederation waa to maintain peace and friendly relations with nil other powers on earth. -o .Vflnlrs In WaihUglon. WASHINGTON, March 4.-At the inaugu? ration, this morning, Gen. Grant said: CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES: Your suffrage having elected me to the oflico of President of the United States, 1 have, in conformity with the Constitution of our country, taken the oath of office proscribed therein. I have tuken this oath without, mortal reservation, and with the deter? mination to do, to the best of ray ability, all that it requires of me.. The responsi? bilities of the position I feel, but accept them without fear. Tho office has como to me nnsougbt. I commence its duties un? trammeled. 1 bring to it a conscientious desire aud determination to fill it, to the best of my ability, to tho satisfaction of the people. On all leading questions agi? tating the public mind, I will always ex? press my views to Congress, and urge them according to my judgment; and, when I think it advisable, will exorciso the consti? tutional privilege of interposing a veto tc defeat measures which I oppose, lint all laws will be faithfully executed, whethei they meet my approval or not. 1 shall on all subjects have a policy to recommend, but none to euforco against tho will of the people. Laws aro to govern nil alike-those opposed "to, as well ns those who favor t hem I know no better method to secure the rc peal of bad or obnoxious laws than theil stringent execution. Tho country having just emerged from a great rebellion, man] questions will come before it for settlemen in the next four years which preceding ad ministrations have never had to deni with In the meantime, it is desirable that the; should be approached calmly, without pre judice, hate or sectional pride, remember ing that the greatest good to tho greates number is the object to bo attained. Tin requires security of property and of politi cal opinion in every part of our commo; country, without regard to local prejudice All laws to secure these ends will receiv my best efforts for their enforcement. A great debt has been contracted in sc . curing to ns and our posterity the Unioi: The payment of this principal and intcre* as well as tho return to a specie basis as soo ns it can be accomplished, without muterit detriment to the debtor class, or to th country at large, must be pledged. T protect tho national honor every dollar ( Government indebtedness should bo paid i gold, nnlesB otherwise expressly stipulate in the contract. Let it be understood tin no repudiation of one farthing of our publ debt will be entertained, and it will go fi towards strengthening a credit which ougl to be the best in tho world, and wo will ult rnately be nbln to replace tho debt with bone bearing less interest thau we now pay. 1 this should bo added a faithful collection the revenue, a strict accountability to tl Treasury for every dollar collected, and tl greatest possible retrenchment in ex pene tures in every deparment of the Gover ment. When wo comparo tho paying cap city of the country now, (with ten Stat still in poverty fron the effects of war, b soon to emerge, we trust, to greater prc perity than ever before,) with its pay ii capacity twenty-?vo years ago, it is incale lubie what it probably will be twenty-fi years hence. Who cnn doubt, then, the ft sibility of paying every dollar with mc ease than we now pay for useless luxnric Why, it looks as though Providence h bestowed upon us a strong box of precin metals locked up in tho sterile mountains tho far West which we aro now forging t key to unlock to meet tho verj- coutingen that is now upon us. Ultimately it mny uece88ary to incienso tho facilities to ron these riches, and it may bo necessary, alf that tho General Government should gi its aid to securo this access. l?ut tl should only bo when a dollar of obligati to pay secures tho dollar to us now, and i before. Whilst the question of specie pi nu nts is in obey anec, the prudent basin man is careful about contracting deb payable in the distant futuro. The nati should follow thc samo rulo. A prostr commerce is now to rebuild, and all indu men ts to encourage tho young men of I country-thoso who, from their age, m be its rulers tweuty-five years hence mund greater interest in maintaining national honor. A. moment's reflection to what will,bo our commanding influei among tho nations of tho earth, in their d if they aro only true to themselves, sho inspiro them with national pride. All d visions, geographical, political and r gious, can joiu in this common sen ti men how tho public debt is to be paid or sp< payments resinned. Legislation upon I subject may not be necessary now, nor e advisable, but it will be when tho civil li aro moro fully restored in all parts of country, aud trade resumes it wanted eli nels. It will bo my ondeavor to execute laws in good faith, to collect all revsn assessed, and to have them property counted for, and economically disbur: I will, to tho best of my ability, nppi to offico thoso only who will carry ont design. In regard to foreign policy, I would i with nations as equitable law requires ii viduals to deal with ench other, and I w< protect tho law-abiding oitizen, whetlie native or foreign birth, wherever his ri| are jeopardized or the flag of onr com floats. I would respect the rights o muions, demanding equal respect for own. If others depart from this in their dealings with us, we may be ( polled to follow their precedent. The proper trcatmeut of the original cupants of thia land, the Indiana, ia ono deserving of careful study. I ?ill favor any coarse towards them which tends to their civilization, christianizing and ultimate citizenship. The question of suffrage is one which is likely to agitate the publics so long as a portion of their domain is to bo added or excluded from its privileges in any State. It seems to mo very desirable j that this question should be settled now, j and I entertain tho hope aud express the j desire that it may bo by tho ratification of j the fifteenth article of amendment to tho j Constitution. In conclusion, I nsk patient for'.:carancc--one towards another-through ont the land, and a determined effort on tho part of every citizen to do his sharo towalds cementing a happy Union. And I ask the prayers of the nation to Almighty God in behalf of this consummation. In tho Seuate, the committeo appointed to investigate corruption connected with the impeachment, reported thut there was no evidence or corruption. Tho motion to act on Mrs. Lincoln's allowance failed-23 to 27. Also, tho repeal of the tcnuro of J office failed-14 to 25. At 12 M., Grant and Colfax entered tho Seuate Chamber. Colfax spoko briefly, confining himself to tho duties of his office, and theu took bis seat, when tho new Sena? tors were qualified. Without action, the Seuate adjurned to noon to-morrow. In tho House, bills requiring national banks to report monthly, and the anny ap? propriation were passed. Tho Conference on the removal of political disabilities, dis? agreed. The deficiency appropriation bill was passed. Thc Judiciary Committeo pre? sented tho evideuco in Judge Busteed's case. Without recommandation, tho mat? ter was discharged, and tho fortieth Con? gress adjourned. Tho Judiciary Committee on tho case of Judge Busteed, of Alabama, nccused of corruption and iguorauce, reported that they had considered tho case fully, and re? commended that tho testimony should not bo printed, and asked to bc discharged. This ends Busteed's caso. In tho forty-first Congress the following States aro not represented iu the House: New Hampahire, Connecticut, Louisiana, Virginia, Georgia and Texas. Tho caucus nominations wero ratified, which mado Blaine Speaker. Blaine received 13G votes; Kerr, 57. Dawes and Kerr conducted Blaine to the chair. President Johnson did uot occupy tho place reserved for bim in thc Inauguration ceremonies, but remained at tho White House, siguing bills. Among tho spectators on the floor of tho Senate, to-day, were negro Bishop Camp? bell, and woman's rights Mrs. Dr. Marv Walker. The President pocketed the follow ?ny i bills: To reorganize the Judiciary; to re? duce the navy and marine corps; for the j further security of equal rights in the Bis- j trict of Columbia; and strengthening the : publie credit. Tho Indian appropriation ! bill failed to reach tho President. Mr. Johnson remained at the White House j till noon. Grant went from the Capitol to thc While j House. After his arrival there, he received the following: "BERLIN, March 1.-My congratulations [ on tho solemn dav.
