Haw- drleks on the arm of Senator Hawley, entered the apartment, where Cleve land had previously gone. Tbe stand on which tbe President was expected to deliver his inaugural address waa erected almost on a level With the floors of tlie Senate and llonae and directly in front of the middle entrance to the Capitol. It is about 100 feet sqntrc—tlie largest ever before erected for tbe inauguration— and waa covered by 2,000 chairs. These wore occnpied by Senators, members of the diplomatic corps, Judges of the Supreme Court, mem bers of the House of Representatives and the press representatives. Before tbe President left the Senate chamber the crowd in front of tbe stolid had increased antit it became one solid mass of humanity for nearly 400 feet in front of tlie stand and more than 1,000 feet on either side. Tbe crowd continued less solidly in rear of this multitude. Tlie trees in the great lawns were tilled and the rooms of the surrounding dwellings were covered. On the roof of the Capitol some two or three hundred men aiid hbysTiad" congregated. In the approaching ave- nucs.ahd sire ell The mtlttiny compa nies and society organizations were massed in columns, forming brilliant vistas as far as the eye could reach. Cn elevated stands enterprising pho tographers had elevated their instru ments to perpetuate in photographic designs the assembly on the stand and the sea of hats and faces that moved continually like waves of the ocean. This immense throng was variously estimated as to numbers. President Arthur subsequently said it was “sim ply immense; the greatest crowd he ever saw.” Senator Hawley as lie looked at it said he thought it num bered about l/>0,()6y people. While waiting for the arrival of the President-elect some one would occa sionally venture to the front of the platform. His presence was the sig nal for repeated cheers. Precisely at 12.30 p. m. the head of the procession appeared coming out of the main cast door of the Capitol. President Arthur stepped to the front of the platform, followed bv the Pres ident-elect, Chief Justice Waite and the Scrgoant-ut-Arms of tlie Senate. All uncovered as thev stood facing the crowd, and the vast assemblage cheer ed again and again for several minutes. The persons wno were to assist at the ceremonies were seated on the plat form in the following order: Chief Justice Waite and Senator Sherman with tlie President-elect; the commit tee of arrangements occupied scats immediately to the rij(lit of the President-elect; ex-President and ex-Vice-Presidents and Associate Justices of tlie Supreme Court, the Vice-President, Secretary ami members of the Senate, occnpied seats further on the right; the uiplomatic “SSf If fttM JMk tkfesl prejudice aid fltstrfcat, and de termine, with manly confidence In one another, to work ootharmoniously tbe achiavetaents of oor national destiny, we shall deserve to reaHse *H the ben efits which oar bappv form of govern ment can bestow.

Mr. Cleveland paced tlie floor medi- tativeh until he was accompanied by his escort to go to the hall of the Senate. At 12.40 p. m. President-elect Cleve land arose and began his inaugural address. Ho was clad in a full suit of black, Prince Albert coat, high, old- fashioned standing collar and black tie. la speaking he held his left hand closed behind t\pd emphasized his speech by gestures with his rigid hand. He spoke without manuscript, hut oc- casianallv consulted a small piece of paper hearing the notes of the heads of Ids discourse. His voice was clear and resonant, and lie slowlyScnunci- ated his words, ami eceaaionaiiy turned about and paused as if to note the effect of ids remarks. He spoke us follows: Th« Ins*ffur*l Aridrra*. Fkllow-Citizkns: In the presence of this vast assemblage of my country men, I am about to supplement aiid seal by tho oath which I shall take the manilcstation of the will of the great and tree people. In the exercise of their power and tlie right of self-gov ernment, they have committed to one of their fellow-citizens a supreme and sacred trust, and he here consecrates himself to tiieir service. This impres sive ceremony adds little to the solemn sense of responsibility with which I contemplate the dmy I owe to all tlie people of the land. Nothing can re lieve me from tho anxiety lest by any act of mine their interests may suffer, and nothing is needed to strengthen my resolution to engage every’ faculty and effort in the promotion of their welfare. Amid the din of party strife the Jo’s .choice was made, but its at tendant circumstances have demon strated anew the strength and safety of a government by tbe people. In each succeeding year it more clearly appears that our democratic principle needs no apology.and that in its fearless and feitbfiii application is to ho found the surest garanty of good govern ment.

On this auspicious occasion we may well renew the pledge of our devotion to the Constitution, which, launched by the founders of tho ropublio and consecrated by their prayers and patri otic devotion, has for almost a ccnlury borne tho hones and the aspirations of a great people, through prosperity arid peace and through the shock of foreign conflicts and tnc perils of domestic strife and vicissitudes. By the Father of hi* Country our Constitution was commended for adoption as “the result of a spirit of amity and mutual con cession.” In that same spirit it should bo administered lu order to promote the lasting welfare of the country and to secure the full measure of its price less benefits to us and to those who w+4 succeed to the Wessittgs of onr national life. The largo variety of diverse ami eoaipotiug interest* sub ject to Federal control, persistently socking tho recognition of their claims, need give us no fear that “the greatest good to the greatest number” will fair to he accomplished, if in the halls of national legislation that spirit of amity and mutual concession shall prevail in which the Constitution had its birth. If this Involves the surrender or post ponement of private interests and the abandonment of local advantages, cotn]ieiisation will ho found iu the assurance that thus the common inter est is subserved and the general wel fare advanced. In the discharge of my official duty 1 shall endeavor to lie guided by a just and unstrained con struction of the Constitution, a careful observance of the distinction between tho powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States or to the people, and by a cau tions appreciation of those functions which, by the Constitution and laws, have been especially assigned to the executive branch of the government. But he who takes the oatli to-day to preserve, protect and defend the Con stitution of the''United States only assumes the solemn obligation which every patriotic citizen, on the farm, in the workshop, in (lie busy marts of trade, and everywhere, should share with him. The Constitution which prescribes lijs oath, my countrymen, is jvnirs; tho government you have cho sen him to administer for a time is yours; for the suffrage which executes the will ot freemen is yours; the laws and the entire scheme of our civil rule, from tho town meeting to the State capitals and the National Capitol, is yours. Your every voter, as surely as your Chief Magistrate, under the same high sanction, though in a differ ent sphere, exercises a public trust. Nor is this all. Every citizen of ours owes to the country a vigilant watch and close scrutiny of it* public ser vants, ami a fair and reasonable esti mate ofi their fidelity and usefulness. This is the people’s will imposed upon the whole frame-work of our civil policy—municipal, State and Federal —and this is the price of our liberty and the inspiration of our faith in the republic. fcCOKOMT IN TIIK UOVKKKMENT. It is the duty of those serving tho people in public place to closely limit public expenditures to the actual needs of the government economically ad ministered, because this bounds the right of the government to exact trib ute from the earnings of labor or the property of the citizen, and because public extravagance begets extrava gance among tlte people. Wc should never be ashamed of the simplicity and prudential economies which are best suited to the operation of a republican form of government and most compati ble with rtie mission of the American people. Those who are selected for a limited time to manage public affairs are still of the people and may do mgeh by their example to encourage, consistently with the dignity of their official functions, that plain way of lite which among their fellow-citizens aids integrity and promotes thrift and prosperity. Of It KOREIUN POLICY. The genius of our institutions, the needs of our people in their home life, and the attention which is demanded for the settlement and development of the resources of our vast territory, dictate tho scrupulous avoidance of any departure from that foreign policy commended by tho history, the tradi tions and the prosperity of our repub lic. It is the policy of independence, favored by our position and defended by our known love of justice and by power. Ills the policy of peace, suit able to our interests. It is the policy of neutrality, rejecting any share ’in foreign broils and ambitions upon other continents and repelling their intrusion here. It is the policy of Monroe and of Washington and Jeffer son: “Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.” FINANCES. A due regard for the interests and prosperity of alU the people demand that our finances shall be established upon such a sound and sensible basis as shall secure the safety and confi dence of business interests and make the wages of labor sure and steady, and that our system of revenue shall be so adjusted as to relieve the people from unuecossary taxation, having a due regard to the interests of the capital invested and tho workingmen em ployed in American industries, and preveuting the accumulation of a sur plus in the treasury to tempt extrava gance and waste.

In the administration of a govern ment pledged to do equal and exact justice to all men there should be no pretext for anxiety touching the pro tection of tbe freedmen in their rights or their security in the enjoyment of their privileges under the Constitution and its amendments. All discussion as to their fitness for tbe place accorded to them as American citizenf is idle and unprofitable, except as it suggests the necessity for their improvement. The fact that thev are citizens entities' them to all the rights duo to that rcla- 4iou end -charges them with aft its duties, obligations and responsibilities. These topics, and the constant and ever varying wants of an active and enterprising population may well re ceive the attention and tlie patriotic endeavor of all who make and execute tlie Federal law. Our duties are pra<* tical and call for the industrious appli cation of an intelligent perception of the claims of the public, and, above all, a linn determination, by united action, to secure to all tlie people of the land the full benefits of the best form of government ever vouchsafed to tiian. And let us not trust to human effort alone, but, humbly acknowledg ing the power and goodness of Al mighty God, who presides over the destiny of nations, and who has at all times been revealed in cur country’s history, let us invoke His aid and liis blessing upon our labors. Taking lh« Oath. When be began the crowd applauded whenever he paused to take a breath, but after awhile contented itself with cheering him as he made his principal points. His reference to the prohibi tion of foreign contract labor called out loud and long continued applause, but his allusion to civil service reform fell pretty flat. The address was very briof, and at precisely two minutes after 1 o’clock he concluded with the invocation of the blessings of Provi dence, and turning to the Chief Jus tice and bowing to him, said: “lam now prepared to take the oath pre scribed by law.” As the Chief Justice arose to admin ister the oath l ho vast assemblage cheered again and again. The Presi dent-elect stood facing the Chief Jus tice with the crowd on his right. Chief Clerk ^JcKeimey of the Supreme Court stood just to the side of Mr. Cleveland and held the Bible upon which tlie oath was administered, the President-elect also holding it w ith his rigid hand. Tlie Bible treed is a small Morocco-covered gTTt-cdgc volume, pretty well worn. It is the Bible whicli 31 r. Cleveland’* toother gave him when he left home as a young man, and at his special request tho Committee of Arrangements had it in readiness for the ceremony. The crowd preserved perfect quiet as the impressive ceremony of administering the oath was taking plsce, but when it whs concluded and as President Clave land laid dow n the Bible after rever ently kissing it and shook hands with the Chief Justice, who was the first to congratulate him, they cheercdjoud and long. Ex-President Arthur was the second man to congratulate the President, and then followed Chief Clerk Mc- Konney and Senator Sherman. Presi dent Cleveland was then introduced to the remaining Judges of the Supreme Court, to Lieutenant-General Sheridan and General Hancock. The remaining pcr*ons on the platform then pressed forward and many of them shook his hand. As he re-entered tbe Capitol he was again greeted with cheers. He walked into the basement entrance where be first came into the building and entered the carriage to be driven in procession to tlie White House. Tk« Prooeaaloa. - At tlie conclusion of the ceremonies at the Capitol, the procession escorted the Presidential party back to the White House. The two carriages con taining President Cleveland, ex-Presi dent Artliur, Vice-President Hendricks and the Senate Committee of Arrange ments toot positions in the first di vision and the line started. Tho greatest enthusiasm was manifested al along the route. Ttye crowd on the sidewalks had increased so that it was impossible to pass through it. Many people were forced into the roadway, and the police bad all they could do to keep the line open for the procession. When the front of tlie line reached Fifteenth street a halt was made, and tlie carriage containing tlie President and ex-President left the line and pro ceeded by way of Executive Avenue to the White House, which they entered by the rear door. After a short interval the President appeared on tlie grand stand, to review tlie procession. Tlie view from the Presidential stand was a grand sight, and it was the generally expressed opinion that no more 'brilliant pageant had ever been witnessed iu this country. All tlie organisations gave tbe marching salnte as they passed the grand stand, and Hie President at first recognized the compliment by raising his Bat to every separate command, hat tbe length of tbe line and the chilliness of the breeze which sprang np compelled him before, the second division passed to keep his head covered, and iu most cases to limit his acknowledgments to a slight bow. In view of tbe feet that the procession was three hours in pass ing, it is not a matter for surprise that be bad to abandou ids intention of standing with his bead uncovered throughout tlie review. It is estimat ed that there were at least 26,000 men iu the procession. Tbs first division consisted of United States troops; toe second of Pennsylvania troops under Geu.

Bayard, of Delaware; Secretary of tbe Treasury— Daniel Manning, of New York; Secre tory ofWsr—Wm. C. Endioott, ofMas- saonusotts; Secretory of tbe Interior— L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi; Secre tory of tbe Navy—Wm. C. Whitney, of New York; Attorney General—Angus- tusH. Garland, of Arkansas; Postmas ter General—William F. Vilas, of Wis consin. A motion was made that, in accord ance with the special courtesy invaria bly ahow4t in stub cases to members of the Senate, tho nominations of Messrs. Bayard, Lam&r and Garland be-con sidered immediately and confirmed. Riddleberger objected as to Bayard, and the motion was withdrawn as to the other two. The Republican Sena- ators all expressed great indignation at Riddiebergcr’s action. His pretext was that Bayard’s views on the subject of Irish dynamiters are not sufficiently American in spirit. On Friday all the Cabinet nomina tions were confirmed by the SeSiate. CONGRESS ADJOURNS. All the Important Meaanm Pantml- -Grant Placed on the Retired LDt. Tlie closing session of the Forty eighth Congress occupied tlie entire night ef the 3rd inst.

This bill authorizes the President to place one person on the retired list ot (lie army, with the rank and full pay of General. At five minutes before twelve o’clock on the 4th iust , the House adjourned sine die. THE SENATE. In tlie Senate a number of appropri ation bills were passed.

Tlie President of tlie United States was now announced, and Mr. Arthur appeared. Vice-President Hendricks soon after appeared, and was greeter with loud applause. Tlie oatli of office was adniinislerec to the newly-elected Vice-President who then spoke as follows: “Senators: In entering upon the duties to which I have been cho*eu, may I express the liojie and desire that our relations may at all times be har monious and agreeable? I beg to assure you that in the discharge ot my duties 1 will seek to observe the most abso lute impartially. It is some years since I was connected with the busi ness of the Senate and it may be that I am less familiar with ks soles usages and modes of proceeding than formerly, and therefore I may have occasion to lean upon your indulgence and to ask your support.” After the transaction of certain row tine business (the swearing in of new members and those re-eiecled) the President pro 'em. declared the Senate adjourned sine dtc.

Atlanta, December is, 188*. 7b the Constitution: I have been s resi dent of Atlanta 20 yean, and am known to a large portion of its citizens; am 80 years of age arid seldom intrude myself in public print. For these and other reasons I ask a place to your valuable paper, that I may lay be fore your numerous readers some truths which should sink deep in the heart of event man and woman.
