C., March 4.—1It was a bitter, biting northwest wind that ushered in to-day what are genorally concedod tobo the most ‘brilliant ceremonics that ever heretofore attond- ed the inauguration of a President. Notwith~ standing the unparalleled soverity of the weather, atan early hour tho streets became lively with the tens of thousands of anxious sight-seers, who have been pouring in here from all diréo tions in the past weelk, Binds the grand review of the armies which ¢onquered the rebellion, no more billiant military display has beon witness- ied here than that which made up the procession to-day, which marched and counter-marched the streets in honor of the present occasion. The features of the day, however, have been merely spectacular, and the details will pe found chronicled in the regular dispatches. ‘There has been an utter absense of incident in the occasion aside from the procession, and the inauguration ceremonics at the Capitol were such as dre conventional. Probably 40,000 people were gathered in the square at the east front of the Capitol, to hear the President read his inaugural address. Owing_to the strong wind prevailing, and the exceedingly low voice of the President, only the favored fow, who sat immediately near him, could catch a word of the message while it was being delivered. To-night, Pennsylvania avenue is illuminated from the Treasury Department to the Capitol, and the streets are thronged with sight-seers. - The festivities will concludo with s grand ball, Thienis tobokeld ina building rccted expe” cially for the purposo, and which, it is estimater by ol 15 1,300 sots for dancing. 4 JUDD 'AND BLAEELEY. 1t i stated here, in private quarters likely to be well informed, that Norman B.

Congress, by an amendment to the Wilson bill, which passed last might, provides that the Towa Circuit Court of the United States shall have jurisdiction to hear, try, and determina all cases of mandamus to compel the said Union Pacific Railrosd to operate its road as required by law. Tho question 05 to whether the bridge at Council Bluffs is o paré of the road' is now pending before tho Attorney-General. It is gen- erally understood that he will de- cide that Council Bluffs is the Ie- al terminus. If the Union Pacific Railroad oes not respect the decision of the Attorney-. General, under the above scction, s mandamus will be ordered to compel the Company to mako Council Bluffs its terminus. 'WHAT CONGRESS DID.

(7o the Associatzd Press.) WASTINGTON, March 4.—The morning was very clear but bitter cold. Many thousands, on thelr way from streets remote from the route of the insugural proces— sion found it impoesible 1o keep themaclves comforta~ ble. This, however, did not have any effect in lessen- ing the untversal anxiety to be early on the d Early in the day the military and civic orj tions from their different headquarters began assombling on Pennaylvania avonue, west of the Executive Mansion. By 10:30 o'clock they were nearly all in position. The avenue, by this time, was alive with persons to witness tho military portion of the ceremonies. Many of the visitors wended their way to the Executive AMansion 10 sco the start, and many visited the Whito House befors the time of the parade, but. it was closod, and_ no person was admitted ex- copt clerks and military attaches of the President. At {he Capitoi matters were exceedingly quiet. At the Executive Mansion, prompt to the time decided upon Dy General Barry, the Grand Marshal, for the moving foccaelon, the troops were in readiness, and began the fice of march. They were preceded by a platoon of ‘mounted police, fallowed Dy the Secand United States ‘Artillery Band, with the Grand Marshal, his sssistants, 3nd the Milithiry Committee on Organization. The Prestdent, occupying an open carrisge, sccompanied by Senators Cragin, Logan, and Barard, joined the ‘proceseion zoon after starting, taking 5 position in the third division of tho parsde. The carrisge in which “be mt :‘:lxndnwnail:y four _closely- clipped, mouse-colo: orses. appearan the signal for hearty cheering, the waving of hand- Ferchiefs, and other demonstrations of npplanse ns he rodo aloug. Immediately preceding the carriage of - General Grant wna_his escort. First, troops, the Phil- adelphia City Cavalry, one division nnder command of Colonel Audenreld; the additional military part of it consisting of the President’s mounted guard, of this city, the Governor’s mounted guard, and tho Boaton Tancers; the Vice President-clect and the Governor of this District completing the divizion. ‘The firat 2nd second divisions of the procession con- sisted of military, including cadets from West Polat, Toidshipmen from Annapolis, United States Artillery on foot, a battalion of United States Marines, the Old Guard of New York, Co. A; tue St. Lous National Guards, and severa! volunteer organizations from this city, the first &leslrm ccnai.!lhng of United States troops, commmanded by Gen., Upton. Aul::'ng the orgenizations in the fourth divislon were organizations from Philadelphis, Albany, Balti- more, the Duquesne Grays, of Pittaburgh, and fi el ‘g] vist {he Socond (: y e ivision were {le mnecticat the Filth New York, tho Third New Jerecy, and tho Fifth Maryland Regimenta, The aixih division consisted of colored troope, who Ppresented a croditable appearance, The remaining part,of the procession, divided iuto six divisions, m-maci)ma esbalship of members of the Washington Fire Departinedt. These Aivisions inclyded officials of tho General and Local. Govern- ‘mbnts, palitieal clubs from different States and Wesh- ington, and the Baltimore Schuotzen Verein, A large mounted squad of police proceded the pro- ceasion, and kept the immense crowd from encroach. e einer. the “siie and nilary together, the civic ali zati nambzied At least 12,000, and made an. mng dis. play. Rearly overy organization in the line of march was accompaned Dy an effective brass band, and the route was colivened Dy excellent music for's space nearly two miles in length, causing the -spectators for the time o forget the intensely nipping atmosphere, &0d clond of dust driven by the " Wind agaiust thelr faces, - As the procession turned into the avenub from Fif- teenth gtrest, crowds of spectators gathered along the sidewelk from the intersecting streets, and in a mo- ment tho great thorouhfare of Washington was alive with at least 60,000 struggling people. Notwithstand- ing the excitement, they preserved excellent order, As the varfous o tions drow mear the Capitol the crowd thickened, nntil the entire vicinity of the Capi- tol grounds was ed. el "he appearance of the organizations was highly extolled. The civic associations also madea 00d display, though their numbers were considerably ished by the cold. Prominent in the procession was an omnibus con- taining a number of veterans of the Mexican War, Following them in the procession men came bearing tho tattered flags of many of the great battles of the country. " This part of the procession was comtinually ee: Buildings on Pennsylvanis avenue were decorated in 2 monner surpassing suy former occasion. Thostreet directly facing the line wus filled with an snimated crowd. The besdquarters of the various clubs were elaborately adorned. Owing {o the cold westher tho stands on the line of mach for spectators woro abandoned, the speculators in thia business being evidently disappointed, During the continuanco of the inaugural ceremonics the great masa of the spectators wers well-behaved and orderly. Owing to the cold weather, they did not give vent to thelr feelings in loud cheering, but evidences of 3pprobation and Intercat scemed every whero sppac- ent, The Treasury was filled with officials employed thereln, and others towhom tickets of admission Deen issued, Long before tho procession had been formed im- imense crowds of people were on their way to the Capi- tol, tho river spproaches to which, however, wero uarded by a largo forco of policemen fna soldicrs w0 cpt back all excopt the favored few, about 2,000 per- Bons bearing tickets of admission to the Senate Cham- bers, The galleries were filled as soon as the doors were opened- The floar of the Senate bega to fill up quite early with distinguishod invited guests, includ— ing many of the highest military and paval officers of {ho Government, who occupled” seats together to the Jeft and rear of the Senators. Among them wero Gens, Sherman and Sheridan, and Admiral Porter. The routine business of the Senate proceeded with- ont interruption until about half past 11, when the Diplomatic Corpa sppeared at the main entrance and at- tracted the attention of all cyes, a8 they filed down the centroalsle in thelr gorgeous court costumes. The Turkish Minister, Blacquo Bey, having been longest in service in Washington,headed the corps as its Dean, Ho was followed by Sir - Edward Thornton, and the Austrian Minister, Marquis Do Noavilles, Mintster of France, and Mori, Japauese Minister, brought up the Tear of Ministers, the and the Secretaries and sttaches followed a few minutes afterwards. The Supromé Court of the United States was an- nounced, and the Joatices, headed by Chief Justice Chase, and clad in_ their robes of office, entered the Senato Chamber and took seats propared for them in the front nd facing the rostrum, Almost immedistely afterward_Gen. Grant was es- corted into the Benate Chamber by the Senate Com- mitteo of Arrangements, consisting of Mesars, Cragin, Bayard, and Logan, and_conducted toa chair directly in front of the Clerk's deak, and sat there facing the sudience, the target for several thousand curious eyes, whose gaze he scemed, to all m ces, Deither to avold nor realize, but exhibited his usual self-possession. The members of the Houso of Representatives, headoa by Speaker Blaine, then entered tho Senats Chamber, and took their seats ina body behind the Diplomatic Corpe. Benator Sumner also entered just at i timey muffied up Uke an duvalid, but Jooking unexpectedly well. ‘The hour of 12 kaving arrived, Vice-President Colfax delivered his valedictory, and proceeded to sdminister the oath of officeto Vice-President-elect Wilson. “ The Forty-second Congress having then been de- clared at an end, the newly-Inaugurated Vice-President sdministered the oath of office to the Senators-elect, o came forwurd to the roetrum as ther oames wers Becretary, throe at a time. ‘The organization of the new Bemate having been completed in the courso of about twenty minutes, it jran amnouaced that the Senste, Supreme Coust, and invited spectators would p to the east portico of the Capitol, to participate in the ceremonies of the in- auguration of the President-eiect, The procession ‘was accordingly formed, and the late cccupents of the Sloor of the Benate ed through the corridors mg rotunda to the place indicated, the following order: Marshal of the Supreme Court. Ex-President, and ex-Vice-President, ‘Bupreme Court of the Unitod States. Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate. Comumittee of Arrangements. 2 President-elect, Vice-President, and Secretary of the BSenate. Members of the Senate, Diplomatio Corps. Jeads of Departments. Ex-members of the House of Reprosentatives, and ‘members-elect of the Forty. Congress. Governors of States, and other persons who had ‘been admitted to the floor of the Senate Chamber, hisd reserved seats at the left of the diplomatic corps. A platform, capable of sccommodating 500 or 600 people, had been constructed. It had a semi-cir- culsr front, which was covered with American flags snd tastefully decorated with wreaths and evergreens. The national flag was also intertwined with two of the columns supporting the pediment of the portico, and the goneral effect harmonized well with the splendor of tho noblo bullding. On reaching {he platform tho President-eloct took the seat provided for him directly in front of the centre, Vice President Colfax and the ‘Bergeant-at-Arms in charge of the cersmonics sitting an the right, ths Chist Juiticos o the Supreme Court on his leff. The Senate Committe of Arrange- ments were mear at hand snd next in the rear. The Associste Justices of the Supreme Coury occupied seats on the left, and the members snd Secretaries of the Sénate on tho wght. The Diplomatio Corps wers to have occupicd seats in the rear of the Supreme Court, but many of them were not sufficientlo alert to prevent themselves from being crowded in the background by membera of the House of Reprosentatives and others, who Were .preased forward by the general crowd behind, The coldness of the weather had tha effect of making the number of apectators in the Capitol Grounds op- posite and tho streets sdjoining much _smaller to-day than on most similar occasions heretofore, but many thousands were sasembled to witness tho ceremonles, Near Gen. Grant, on the plstform, sst Drs, Grant, sccompanied by soveral of their children, tho Presi- dent’s brother (Orville), Marshal and Mrd, Sharp, snd several other relatives of the family, The appearance of the President on the platform was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, and, with bursts of music from the bands of all the varioiis civio and auflitary or; tions, which were drawn up in line of battle, and filled the wide spacs In front, and ex- tonding the entire length of the Capitol, The noise of the greeting wos hushed aa the President-elect and the Chief Justice of the Unlted States roso simul- tanoously, ‘and the lstter commenced to recite the formula of the Preaidential oath of office, which Gen. Grant took with his head uncovered, and resumed his seat for a few moments, while tho boom of cannon, the ringing of bells, and shouts of the vast multitude burst forth with deafening sonnds, Partial guict baving been restored, the President arose, and pro- cecded to read his inangural address, ML e THE INAUGURAL. ‘The following is the Insugural address delizered by Preaident Grant after he had formally taken the oat of office for his second term : Frrrow-Crrizzxs: Under Providence, I have been called a second time to act as Exscutive over this great nation. It has beon my endeavor in the past to main- tain all the laws, and, 80 far as lny in my power, to act for the best interests of the whole people. My best efforts will be given in the same direction in the future, added, I trust, by my four years' experience in the office. When'my first torm of the office of Chief Executive began, the country had not recovered from the effects of a great internal revolution, and threo of the former Btates of the Union had not been re- stored to their Federal relations, It secmed tome wise that no new question should be ralsed as that condition of affairs existed ; therefore, in the past four years, o {ar s I could control events, I have endent- ored to restoro harmony and advance the public credit, commerce, and all the arts of peace.and progress. A MODEL GOVERNMENT, 1t 1s my firm conviction that the civilized world is tending townrd republicanism, or the government by the poople through their chosen representatives, and our own great Republic ia deatined to ba_the” gulding star to oll others, Under our Republic we support an . -army less than that of sny Eoopesn power of any standing, and navy less than that of at least five of them. Thera could be 1o extension of territory on this continent which would call for an’ incresso of this force, but rather might such an extension ensble us to diminish it. The theory of government changes with general progress. Now that the telegraph a mado available for communicating thought,“together with rapid tran- eit by steam, a1l paria of ihe continent are mado con- tignous for all purposes of the Government, and com- munication between the extreme limits of the country made easier than it ‘was throughout the old thirieen States at the beginning of our National existence. . OUR COLOREZD CITIzEXs. Tho effects of the late civil strife have been to free the slave and make him a citizen; yet he is not pos- sessed of the civil rights which ctizenship should carry with it. This is wrong, and should becorrected. To this correction I stand committed, 50 far as Execa- tive influence can avail. Socal equalify isnot a subject 10 b legislated upon, nor ahall T ask that snything be done to advance the social etatus of the colored man, except to give him a fair chance to develop what there 18 good n him. Give him sccezs to the schools, and when he travels let him feel assured that his condu Vill regulato the treatment thkt B will secelve. " REHABILITATION. The States lately at. war with the General Govern- ment are now happily rehabilitated, and no Executive control is cxcrelscd sh any ote of thiem that would not be exercised in any other State under like clrcume stances, TERRITORIAL ACQUISITION, 1inthe first year of the past Administration, the Proposition came up for ihe admission of San Domin- 80 s o Territory of the Unfon; It was not . guestion of my seeking, but was & propasition from tha peopls of Banto Domingo, snd which I entertained. I believe now, 88 1 did then, that it was for tho best interoets of this’ country, for the peoplo of Santo Domingo and all concerncd, that the proposition should bo received favorably. It wus, however, re- gerded s unconstitutional, and, therefore, the subject was never brought up again by me, In fature, hle T hold my present office, the wubjct of the s quisition of territory must have the support of the people before I will fecommend any proposition look- ing to auch an acquisition, 1ssy lere, now, howsver, that I do not share in the apprebienudon held by many 20 to tho danger of governuient becoming weakened and destroyed by reason of their extehiion of territory, Commerce, education, and rapid tranait of thought and mater by felegraph and steam have changed this be- Lief, or rather this disbelief, that our Great Maker is preparing the world in Ilis’ own good time to ecome one nation, speaking one Innguage, and when armies and navies'will be no longer required.. NATIONAL PROGRERS—TIIE INDIAN QUESTION. ° My efforis in the fatare will bo directed to the res- taration of good fecling between the different sections of our common country, fo the restoration of our cur- Tency o a fixed value, ‘a3 compared with the world's standard of valucs, gold, and, if possible, t0 & par with it ; to the construction of ‘cheap routes of transit throughout tho land, to the cnd that, tho products of sl sections may find'a market and leave s living re- muneration to the producer ; o the maintenance of friendly relations with all our deighbors and with distant nations; to the establishment of our com- ‘merce and ehare in the carrying trade upon the ocean ; to tho encouragement of sich manufacturing indus tries as can be economically pursued in this country, to the end that tho exports of home products and industries may poy for our importa; to theonly Buire method of reluraing to and permanently main- taining a specis basis; (o the elovation of labor, and, by a bumane couree, to Lring the sborigines of the country under the Lenign influences of cducation and clvilization. It is either this or war of extermination. Wars of extermination, engaged in by peoplo pursuing commerce and all jndustrinl pursuits, are expentive even against ihe weakest people, and are demoralizing and wicked, Our superiority of strength and thoadyan- tages of civilization should meke w lenient toward the Indien. The wrong alresdy inflicted upon him Biould be taken into account,nd the Lalance placed to Dis credit.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 1 ncknowledge before this assemblage, representing, 25 it docs, every section of our country, the obliga~ tions I am under to my countrymen for the great hon- or they have conferred on_me by returning me to the highest ofiice within theirland, and the further obli- gution resting on mo to render them the best services within my power. This I promise, looking forward with the greatest anxiety io the day when I ehall be released from responsibillties that at times are almost overwhelming, and_from which I have acarcely bad a respite from the eventful firing upon Fort Sum- fer, in April, 1861,t0 the present day. My services were then tendered and accepted under the first call for troops wing out of that event. I did not ask for place or position, and was entirely without in- finence or the acquaintanca of persons of influence, ‘but was resolved to perform my part in a struggle threatening tho very existence of the nation. I per- formed a conscions duty without asking promotion or command, and without a revengefal feeling toward 2Dy section or any individual. VINDICATED, Notwithatanding this, throughout the war, and from ‘my candidacy for my prezent office in 1868 to the close of the laat Presidential campaign, I have been the sub- ject of abuse and slander scarcely ever equalled in po- tical history, which to-day I feel that I can afford to Qdisregard, in view of your verdict, which I gratefally ‘accept as my vindication. ‘The President’s voice was not saudible except to per- UL UR OF Beas, e PIAUOI, And .CORsqUERUY, thers ‘were no manifcatations of applause or otharwise dur- 1ing ita delivery, which occupied lees than ten min- utes, and was completed before the large part of the assemblage not directly in range of view, knew that it had boen commenced. e FESTIVITIES, CONCLUDING CEREMONIES, At the conclusioa of the sddrees, the President was warmly congratulated by his friends, and soon after teft in his carriago for the White House, escorted by the procession, which had reformed and taken up the line of march.

Tho siand was decorated with flags and Btreamots, and inside it were handsomely upholstered and cushloned scats for tke Presidential party. The review staud was guarded from the throng of specta- Tors by a few files of soldlers and mounted policemen, Shortly after the return from the Capitol, the Presi- dent, marshalled by Secretary Robeson and sccom- panied by mearly all the Cabinet officers and their Tadics, arrived, and took seats cn the platform. Mrs. Grant'znd othér ladics connected with the President’s family also took seata with the rest of tho party on the stand. Jurt before the arrival of the head of the column in the vicinity of the stand, Gens, Bherman, Sheridap, and Howard, dressed in full uniform, and accompanied by adles, wilicd up thraugh the crowd and ook posi- jons on the stand, The review was by far the most fmposing portion of the military display, aud more thun an hour was con- sumed in passing the President. The different bands of music performed spirited airs a8 they marched ot tho hiead of their respective companies to which they were attached along Droad syenue. The excellent Grill and procise discipline of the military was the theme of general pralsc. Tho difforent military or- ganizations presented s military panorama that will Bever bo forgotten by the thousands before whom it moved.

SExaTOns: The time fixed by the Constitation for the dissolution of the Forty-scond Congress has ar- rived, and, with & few parting words, T ehall resign this gavel'to the honored son of Massachusetts, who has been chosen by the peoplo as my succeasor, ~ Adminis- trations terminate and Congreases expire £s years pass Dy, but the nation lives, and grows, and prospers, to Do served in future by those equally faithfal to ita’ in- terests and equally proud of its_growing influence among the nations of the earth. To be called by the representatives of the people, and afterwards by the people themaelves to the responsible duty of presiding snccessively over the two Houses of Congress for the past ten years, from the ers of war, {hrough the era of reconstruction, to the era'of peacs, more than Alls the measure of an honorable ambition, Looking back over these ten exciting years, I can claim Dot only that I have committed no act’ which has proved the confidence misplsced that called me to this pooition but, also, that I have atriven in its oficial dutfes to administer the parlismentary law with the same impartiality with which an upright judge upon tho bench decides in questions of life and liberty; to faithfully protoct the rights of the minority as well aa to aphold tho righta of the majority 1n the adsancement of public business; toremain calm and unmoved amid the excitements of debste; 10 temper and Testrain na- perities, sud to guard against personal antagoniame. ‘0 perform acceptably tho complex and often per- plexing dutiés of the Chair without partiean bias bhas been my copstant endeavor.

How much I owe to the uniform kindness snd sup- ort of the members over whom I bave presided is Qifficult to express in words. It has been bounded by no party lines, 2nd controlled by no_political afilia- tions, and I rejoice that I have been ablo to attest my sppreciation of this support. And, while zealously de- fending my principles before the eople, this defense Das never been coupled with personal sasaults on any of the eminent public men with whom I have differe<. No aspersions on their character have dishonored my tongue; no epithets or favectives have fallen from my lips, But the clock sdmonishes me that the Forty- second - Congress has alresdy pused into history, and wishing you, ' Benstors, useful lives {or your country and happy lives for yourselves, a2 thanking you for the resciudon apresd on your Journal, and favoking the favor of Him who holda the destinies of nationa and of men in the hollow of His Dand, Iam ready to ndminister the oath of office to the Vico-Preaident-elact, whom I now introduce to you.

In the discussion that followed there, T waa prepared to submit some addi- Honal facts snd considerations tn case my own conduct came up for considerstion in the House, but the whole Fubject was concluded withont any direct reference to 10 myself, and since then the whale ime ousa bas boen becupied with pUbLie bastoiss. 5 ne Do to maXe a eingle remark on this sublect, ia the nearing of tho House.

I will ocly say now that the testimony which I gave before the Comi- mittee is a statement of the facts in the cace as I have ‘understood them from the beginning, and that nothing in my conduct or conversation has st any time been in conlict with my testimony. For the present, I desire otily to place on record this declaration and notice, '\ EPISODE.
