The accounts which follow have been compiled, in most instances, from contem- poraneous publication: ‘The First guration. ‘The ceremonies attendant upon the installa- on of Washington will in an especial manner always command the interest of the American People, not only for the homage which 1s paid him, but because, also, the first inauguration in {ts chief outlines has served for the precedent to all succeeding inaugurations. Washington was not installed on the 4th of 1, 1789 There was not a quorum in the Senate till April 6th, and on that day, 1789, the votes for Pres- dent and Vice-President were, in joint session ofthe House and Senute, in due form counted and declared.

According to an Recount written by an eye-witness of the event ® great concourse had been for some time thronging the vicinity of the hall, when, promptly at the designated hour, an elegant white coach, drawn by six superb white horses, having on its four sides, painted by Cipriani, deautiful designs of the four seasons, was seen spproaching in the distance. As it drew near the hall the rush of the multitude wus tremend- sand | steel-hilted | | | On bis’ lett sylvan ous. The door of the coach opened in front of the hall and two gentlemen, with long white Wands, issued forth and proceeded to opena from the carriage to the steps, some two undred feet distant. The President followed, amid the rending shouts of the crowd, which continued till be bad deliberately mounted the where, turning, he showed his face to the multitude, and then’ followed the guides, with their white wands, into the hall. On either side of the broad aisle were seated the members of the Senate and House, who arose on his en- trance and remained standing till he had Passed through the hall and the speak- ers’ seat upon the platform at the further end of 5 hall. Every portion of the house floor, lobby. nd all approaches were crowded'in breatniens silences? Wi was dressed in a full suit of the richest velvet, his lower limbs in short ~dothes, with diamond knee-buckles, and black stockings. His shoes, which were brightly depanned, were surmounted with large, square silver buckles, In his hand he carried a plain cocked hat, decorated with the American cock- ade. His hair, powdered, was gathered intoa black silk bag,on which was a bow of black ribbon. He wore a light dress sword, with green shagreen scabbard, and @ richly ornamented hilt. DISTINGUISHED PERSONS PRESENT. At the head of the Senate stood Thomas Jef- ferson, in a blue coat, single breasted, with large bright basket buttons, his vest and small clothes of crimson. His animated countenance of a brighted bue, his keen eye and foxy hair, as well as his tall, gaunt, ungainly form and square oulders, formed a perfect contrast to the pale, reflective and delicate face of James Madison, nd above all to the short, burly, bustling form of General Knox, with ruddy cheek, prominent eye, and still more prominent proportions of another kind. In the semicircle behind the chair the Spanish Ambassador, was a con- uous figure. His glittering star, his silk chapeau bras edged with ostrich feathers, bis brizht air and courtly bearing contrasted strongly with the ibility of nature's forming who siood around hi he oath was admin- istered by Judge Cushing. Washington, ari-ing fom his seat after a few minutes, drew from his breast a roll of manu- script, ‘proceeded to read his address, and at its conclusion, laying the manu- seript upon the table and resuming his seat for a few mon ts, rose and withdrew, the mem- bers remaining and standing until he had passed from the chamber. |The paper was then taken up by the clerk of the House and again read from beginning to end. Thus terminated the first reinauguration ceremonies. John Adams’ Inauguration. On Saturday, March 4, 1797, John Adams was inaugurated at Philadelphia, in the hail of the House of Representatives. To use his own words In a letter written to Mrs, Adams the next day, “a solemn scene it was, Indeed; and it was made more’ affecting to me by the presence of the general, whose countenance Was as serene and unclouded as the day.

Jefferson's Inauguration. The first inauguration held in this city was that of Preident Jefferson, which occurred on the 4th of Mareh, 1801, The ceremonies were conducted in accordance with the so-called dem- atic ideus of “liberty, equality, and fratern- which Mr. Jetfemon had imbibed during his residence in revolutionized France, Reject- {ng asmonarchic2l the etiquette which had been observed at the inaagurations of his prede- cessors, Jefferssn addressed a note to the Speaker of the House, curtly Informing the him, that he should take the ribed constitutional os the 4th of Mareh, did ‘not then boast of many er was it an easy matter to aa Was Ww eve presented. Se and nearly ail of the prominent offi- cials were present, although the absence of the ex-President and of the Speaker of the House was noticed. Both Mr. Adams and Mr. Speaker Sedgwick had left that morning for their re- spective homes in Massachusetts. ir. Jefferson deligiited his democratic friends by going to the Capitul without any escort. Says one of them, (an Euglisiman named J Davis, in a published account of the inaug tion: “His dress was of plain cloth, and he rode on horseback to the Capitol without a single reven servant in his train, dismounted sistance, and hitched bis horse to the without palisade: . When Jefferson entered the Senate Chamber, Vice-President Burr gave up the chair and took his seat on the right; on the left sat Chief Jus- tice Marshall. Aiter the Inaugural had been delivered the President was sworn into office, and the event fas proclaimed by discharges of artillery by a volunteer company. President Jefferson then returned to the White House where Mrs. Madison had consented to presides for atime, and receive the congratulations of his friends. Although President Jefferson rode his saddle horse “Wildair” to the Capitol, and unostentatiously hitched the blooded nag to the fence, he had at that time a dashing coach and four.’ The horses were bright bays, and cost sixteen hundred dollars, which at that time Was regarded as an extravagant price, but old residents here speak of them as the finest team ever seen on Pennsylvania avenue. JEFFERSON'S RE- On Monday, March 4, 1805, President Jeffer- son was re-inaugurated in the Senate Chamber, which was crowded with ladies and gentlemen, and officers,Commodore Preble attracting espec- ial attention, Four of the Supreme Court at- tended—Chief Justice Marshall,Cushing, Patter- son, and Washington. Mr. Jefferson wore his favorite attire—a dress coat, scarlet waistcoat, and small clothes, and a round hat. Inauguration of Madison. On Saturday, March 4. 1809, James Madison assumed the duties of President of the United States. The day, from its commencement to Its close, was, it is stated, “marked by the liveliest demonstrations of joy.” For many days before citizens from the adjacent, and even remote states, had been pouring into Washington until its capacity of accommodation was strained to the utmost. The dawn of day was announced by a federal salute from the Navy Yard and Fort Warbur. ton,and at an early hour the volunteer corps of militia began to assemble. Such was the in terest to be present at the inauguration that the whole aréa allotted to citizens in the Represen- tatives hall was filled and overflowing several hours before noon, the time assigned for that purpose, and It ts computed that the number of persons Surrounding the Capitol, unable to ob- tain admittance, exceeded ten thousand. The Senate convened at 11 o'clock in the chamber of the Representatives, Governor Milledge, the President pro tempore, in the chair. Agrecably to arrangement the Senators were placed next to the chair, the late President (Jefferson) of the United States on the right of the chair, foreign ministers and suite on the left, Judges of the Supreme Court in front, heads of departments on the right of the President of the Senate, members of the House of Representatives on the floor, and various other places assigned for other public characters and for ladies. Mr. Jefferson arrived about 12 o'clock. A short time before that hour Mr. Madison left his own house escorted by the troops of cavalry of the city and Georgetown, commanded by Capt. Brent, and at 12 entered the Representa tive hall atfended by the Secretary of the Treas- ury, the Secretary of the Navy, the Attorney seneral, and Mr. Coles, secretary to the late President, and introduced by a committee of the Senaté, when Mr, Milledge left the central chair and Conducted Mr. Madison to it, seating himself on the right. Mr. Madison then rose and delivered his address. The oath of office was then admintsteged to him by Chief Justice Marshall, on which and as the President re- tired two'rounds of minute guns were fired. On leaving the Capitol he found the volunteer mi- litia companies of the District, nine in number aud In complete uniform, under the command of Col. M. Kinney, drawn up, whose line he passed in review, when he entered his carriage and was escorted home in the same way he came. ‘A large concourse of ladies and gentlemen, and Mr. Jefferson among the number, immedi- ately waited upon him. among whom refresh ments were liberally distributed. The company generally, after calling on the Presid nt, walted on Mr, Jefferson to take a last farewel fore Mice Madison was dressed st Bis inauguration Mr. ison Was inal in a full suitof cloth of American manufacture, made of the wool of merinos raised in this country ; his coat from the manufactory of Col.

MADISON'S SECOND INAUGURATION, On Thursday, the 4th of March, 1813, Mr, Madison was reinaugurated, and with a revival of the display ‘countenanced by Washington, He was escorted to the Capitol by a legion of volunteer dragoons, and qvas received there with martial honors by the uniformed militia of Georgetown, Washington and Alexandri Ghiet Justice Marshall wdmtnisvered the oath, and the ceremony was d by that most ac- som) lished 8peal F of the House, Henry Clay. wat even re was an inauguration ball: Davis’ hotel bad Monroe's I Tuesday, March 4, 1817, James Mouiroe, Presi- dentelect, and Vice President-elect Daniel D. Tompkins were escorted to the Capitol by a cavaleade of citizens, and were received with military honors by the District uniformed militia. The dignitaries met in the Senate chamber, whence they moved in procession tos. platform erected for the occasion before the Capitol, where the President delivered his in- augural address. The oath of office was an- nounced by a single gun, followed by national salutes at the arsenal and at the navy yard. ‘The President and his lady, after his retura, received at their dwelling the visits of thelt friends, of the heads of departments, most of the Senators and Representatives, of al! the foreign ministers at the seat of government, of strang- ers and citizens, who also generally paid the tribute of their’ unabated respect to Mr, and Mrs, Madison. The -evening concluded with @ ball at Davis’ hotel. A reporter says of this in- auguration: “The difference said to have existed between the two houses in respect to the apvropriation of the Representative chamber was rather for- tunate than otherwise, since it caused the cere- mony of the President swearing fealty to the Constitution to take place in the view, If not in the hearing, of all the people of the United States who chose to witness il. This, it appears to us, is a mode far preferable to that o1 ing eramped up ina hall, into which however ex- tensive, not more than four or five hundred people can possibly have admittance.” MR. MONROE'S SECOND INAUGURATION, In 1821 the 4th of March fell upon Sunday, and President Monroejwas inaugurated on Mon- day, the 5th. Although the day proved very inclement, a great deal of snoy having fallen the previous night, an immense crowd thronged the doors of the Capitol. The ceremony took place in the hall of the House of Representa- tives, On the entrance of the President, the music of the Marine band enlivened the scene. The President placed on the platform in front of the Speaker's chair, ‘The Chief Justice stood by hi speech. | The judges of the Supreme Court, resident of the Senate, Speaker of the House, the heads of departments, and many distin: ished military and naval officers were near him. ‘The seats in the interior were principally occupied by ladies, and around, above und be- low were the people, who were admitted with- out discrimination after the ladies and privi- leged persons were seated. John Quincy Adams’ Inauguration. President Adams was inaugurated on Friday the 4th of Mareh, 1825, with simflar cere- monies to those sanctioned by Washington and Madison, A military escort and cavalcade of citizens accompanied Mr. Adams and his pre- decessor to the Capitol, where the marine corps received them with martial honors, Entering the hall of the House of Representatives, Mr. Adams ascended the steps tp the Speaker’ chalr and took his seat. ‘The Chief Justice w in front of the clerk's table, having before him another table on the floor Of the hall, On the opposite side sat the remaining judges, with their faces to the chair.

Wednesday, March 4, 1829, Gen. Jackson, following the example of Jefferson, and sad- dened by the recent death of his wife, declined an escort or a procession, and rode on horseback to the Capitol.

A lovely day of the brightest sunshine gladdened every heart. The avenue, more than a mile in extent, was thronged with citizens from.every quarter of the union, An immense crowd filled the square on ast front of the Capitol. The procession procceded to the Senate Chamber, when it was formed anew, and proceeded, wit the two Presi , members of the Senate, Cab- inet, and the foreign ministers in their splendid robes, to the rostrum erected on the ascent to the eastern portico, Mr, Van Buren then de- livered his inaugural address in clear and im- pressive tones, and at the close the oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Taney. The rocession returned to the White House, and afterwards Gen. Jackson left for the a Mone Harrison's Inauguration. Never before had there been such a national representation of grateful politicians here as that which congregated from every section of the union to witness the inauguration of Presi- dent Harrison on Friday, the 4th of March, 1841. At 10 o'clock the procession moved from the hotel where the General had rooms under the escort of five uniformed companies, Then came a battalion of officers and soldiers who had fought under “Old Tippecanoe,” fol- lowed by the General mounted on a noble white charger. A cavalcade followed, and as the pro- cession moved down Pennsylvania avenue deafening cheers greeted the whig President. Arriving at the Capitol the President, Members of Congress and others went to the platform erected atthe east iront of the Capitol, where General Harrison read his long inaugural, Pre- vious to delivering the closing sentences the oath was administered by Chief Justice Taney, after which the Presideht pronounced the re= maining part of his address. ‘The cannon then announced to the country that it had anew Chief Magistrate. The procession then reform- ed, and the President was escorted to his resi- dence, where thousands paid their personal re- spects to him. The close of the day was marked by salutes of artillery, and the evening by balls, several of which in the course of the evening the President attended. ‘Tyler's Installation. In consequence of the decease of President Harrison, on the 4th of April, 1841, John Tyler, Vice President, assumed the presidential chair. At twelve o'clock on the morning of April 6, 1841, the heads of the departments talled at his residence, when the President took and subscribed to the following oath of office: I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully exe- cute the office of President of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, rotect and defend the Constitution of the United States, JOHN TYLER, April 6, 1841.

There was an escort of eleven volunteer companies, in addition to the famous “Empire Club,” of New York, in red shirts and black pants, headed by, the invincible Capt. Rynders.

There was a heavy rain and wind storm on the morning of the 4th of March, 1865, and the streets were covered with a thick coating of mud. The engineer corps, it was facetiously stated, “made a survey and took sopndings of the avenue for the purpose of determining the practicability of laying pontoons from the Capi- tol to the White House, but it was found that the bottom was too soft to hold the anchors of the boats, and the project was abandoned.” The civil war had not yet closed. The city was filled with exciting rumors that “something was going on,” and the public mind was in a feverish state. The iilitary patrols were doubled on the streets, and the troops who par- ticipated in the inauguration had their arms ionded in readiness for any emergency, Every Movement of suspicious characters was watched, The known and unknown dangers which threatened the safety of the city, aud surrounded the President and his cabinet, in- vested the occasion with more than ordinary interest. The preparations were not, however, so warlike, nor was the number of strangers so. freat as at the time of Lineoln’s first inaugura, . It was estimated that the number of arrivals daily during inauguration week varied from 5,000 to 8,000. ‘The avenue was crowded, Thousands of people occupied the pice ole and the windows and balconies of private an public buildings, ‘The long colonnade of the iry building bore an immense freight of humao Peinge and the west front of the Capitol was similarly loaded, The national flag in some shape, mammoth or minfature, was to be seen way, available point.
