Amid the din of party strife the people’s cho but its attendant cireum- ve demonstrated anew the strength of agovernment by the people. In year it more clearly appears that our ie principle needs no apology, and thai rless and faithful application is to be found the surest guaranty of good gov- ernment, But the best results in the operation of a gov- ernment, wherein every citizen has a share, Ja depend upon a proper limitation of partisan zeal and effort, and a correct appreciation of the time when the heat of the an should be merged in the patriotism of izen. y the executive branch of the government 4 trausferred to new keeping. But this is still the government of all the people, and it should be none the less an object of their affectionate solicitude. At this hour the animostties of po- litical strife, the bitterness of partisan defeat and the exultation of partisan triumph should be supplanted by an ungrudging acquiescence in the popular will, and a sober, conscientious @oncern for the general weal. Moreover, if, from this hour, we cheerfully and honestly abandon all sectional prejudice and distrust, and determine, with manly confidence in one? another, to work out harmontously the achieve- > r national destiny, we shall deserve efits whieh our happy form ment can bestow. nspicious occasion we may well re- our devotion to the Constitu- aunched by the founders of the ‘ mnsecrated by their prayers and patriotic devotion, has for almost a century borne the hopes and the aspirations of a great people through prosperity and peace, and through the shock of foreign confilets and the Perils of domestic strife and vicissitudes.

If this involves the surrender or postponement of Private interests and the abandonment of local adva S, compensation will be found in the assu that thus the common Interest is subse rved and the general welfare advanced. In the disc of my official duty I shall en- deavor to be guided by a Just and unstrained construction of the constitution, a careful ob- Servance of the distinction between the powers granted to the federal government and those Teserved to the state or to the people, and by a cautious appreciation of those functions which, by the constitution and laws, have been gspeci- ally gned to the executive branch $f the government fs takes the oath to-day to pteserve, defend the Constitution of the ¥ assumes the solemn obliga- patriotic eftizen, on the farm im the workshop, in the busy marts of trade, and everywhere, should share with him, The Constitution which prescribes his oath, my countrymen, {s yours; the government you have chosen him to administer for @ time is yours; the suffrage which executes the will of freemen is yours; the laws aud the entire scheme of our civil rule from the town m to the State capitols and the Nae tional capitol, is yours, Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, under the same i sanction, though In a different sphere, exercises a public trust, Nor is this all. very citizen owes to the country a t watch and close Scrutiny of its public servants, and @ fair and estimate of their fidelity and useful- the people’s will Impressed upon e framework of our civil polity—munt- ad federal—and this is the price of 4 the inspiration of our faith in 'y of those serving the people in ly limit public expendi- needs of the government government to axact tribute of labor, or the property of -and because public extravagance unce among the people.

AN IMPOSING SCENE ATTHE CAPITOL. A SPLENDID STREET DISPLAY. aaa! BUNTING, MUSIO AND MARCHING MEN. ——o——— An inauguration day could hardly have opened under more auspicious cireumstances than the present. The day dawned, if notex- actly clear and bright, still with not more than a suspicion of haze to dim the luster of the sun, The air, however, was bracing, and the elixir of the atmosphere entered the blood and gave anl- mation to the movements, which was in keep ing with the gala character of the day, There was stir and bustle about the city from an early hour in the morning, and n fact the rest- less throngs that surged along the streets nearly thewhole of the preceding day and evening hard- ly quieted down during the whole night There was the tread of soldiery, the march of civie organizations and merous bands of music tions which lined the morning bre ers seeme Hy a ay on the faces of the people, and was seen In the streets and in the ceaseless moving throngs, The immense crowd of visitors arose from their resting places at an early hour and were out on the Avenue anxious to be on hand to witness every thing ‘n connection with the great demonstration to which they had looked forward for so long @ time. The early morning hours only witnessed he moving up and down the streets of the visle tors who had no where else to go. The works | Of preparation had been completed. The cltle vens had finished the decoration of their stores and residences, and the numerous temporary ~tands erected all along the line of march were all in place and appropriately decorated. Every+ hing was In readiness and awaited the assem- pling of the vast multitudes of spectators and he moving of the great pageant of the day, the city at this time presented a scene of gay saimation and life, that is but rarely salt S !

INAU day will not be apt to forget the impressions ture in ky made, Above the feverish tide of life that _ ae 4 HG rolled ap and down the broad avenue, and xbove the picturesque confusion of the flutter- _ ng Gags and streamers, rose the white dome of he Capitol building, serene and calm tn its ma jestic beauty, and serving to emphasize the un- rest of the scene stretching out at ite feet, The ey@ found rest upon this calm height, or looked the stately monument, where @ twin re pose sat enthroned. As the hours ofthe morning wore on there was the sound of drum and fife in every lirection; then the tread of marshaled men, as he various organizations passed along to take he ylaces assigned them in the great pageant af the day, The windows and seats along the Avenue began to receive their occupants for the S.M.GALT. 1S. EXEC. INAUE. it cam Th il ter tal i Wy fal i jay, and the inauguration day may be said to have fairly begun, The seenes along the streets, as is always he case in the presence of a great crowd, were “f a varied character. There were the spectar tors, idle, good natured and bent upon enjoy- ng every moment of the day. They Jostled \zainst each other, laughed good humoredly and wandered along meeting new collisions, vat never forgetting to laugh. Then mingled with the throng were the men who were trying » turn an honest penny. There were sellers of pictures and medals and biographies and flags, vesides the peddlers of fruits and drinke and ther refreshments. These enterprising men were almost an army in themselves, and 4s they moved onward they added to the zeneral good humor by the oddities of their cries and their witty observations. The stands, which were so thickly stationed slong the line of march, were filled with groups of well-dressed people, the majority of whom were evidently friends who were thus spending the day together. These social aspects of the jay were very common, and, as a rule, the par- ies were furnished with lunch, which they ither ate as they sat on the stands in picnic «shion, or retired into the houses and sat town to well-spread tables. Those whe vadn’t places on stands utilized the ide walks as well as possible, and the ntrances of the side streets into the Avenue were filled up with carriages amd wag vns containing people who had taken this means of seeing the procession, The hours which intervened before the passing of the pro- -ession did not hang heavily on the hands of the waiting spectators. There was hardly a ‘aoment when some body of troops or organiza- ion was not passing along the Avenue, ang hen the ceaseless, moving, ever-changing vrowds afforded sufficient diversion and study to occupy the time with profit and pleasure, ARTHUR AND CLEVELAND. Scenes at the White House this Morning A very enlivened scene was enacted In the vicinity of the White House and the Arlington hotel early this morning. Crowds lined the Streets, and everybody was eager to see everye ‘hing going on, especially the two noted per sonages of the day, the retiring and the new Presidents. The crowd, as is usual with Washe ington assemblages, was a thoroughly good natured one. The police succeeded admirably in keeping the crowd back to the curb. Both the President-lect at the Arlington, and the President at the White House, denied them- selves to all visitors.
