PROGRAMME OF THE PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION, The Commitee of Arrangements have published the »xramme for the Presidential inauguration, from which, it appears, that the President elect, the Justices of the ‘Supreme Court, the diplomatic corps, the heads of do- partments, ex-members and members elect of Con- paress, Governors of ‘States, officers of the army id navy, and others of distinction, will assemble in tho Senate Chambor betwoen the hours of eleven and twelve. The cath of office will be administered: to Vice President olect Johnson by Vice President Hamlin, when ‘Chamber will then proceed to the platform on the cen- tral portico of the Capitol, where, all being in readiness, the oath of office will be administered to the President livered. Extensive arrangements have been made for the procession to accompany the President from the Executive Mansion to the Capitol. Thousands of stran- The fourth of March will be generally }observed as a holiday, and the banks and the public offices will be closed. THE PRESIDENT’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS. ‘The Prosidont’s inaugural addregs will probably be the briefest one ever delivered. It is announced that the Yeading of it will not occupy more than from five to /eight minutes. He thinks it unnecessary to make it ME. JOHNSON OFFICIALLY INFORMED OF HI6 ELEC- TION AS VICE PRESIDENT. Senator Trumbull and Representatives Wilson and Dawson, acting as the select committee, to-day waited ‘upon Andrew Johnson and notified him of his election to the Vice Presidency, They received from him an oral Tesponse that he acquiesced in the action of the American People and accepted the trust contided to him. THE PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. Both houses are hard at work, trying to make up for ‘Tost time. The Senate been continually in session from eleven A. M. until & hour to-night. The Tax Dill occupied their attention until nine o'clock P. M., and many !mportant amendments have been made, and the whole bill will have to be remodeled by a Com- Mittee of Conference, The time of the House has been occupied on the Omni- "bus Appropriation bill, which wos not finally passod ‘Until after ten P, M., and has yet to be acted upon in the Benate, Only the most important bills can be got through in the brief time which remains, and much legislation which Should have been acted upon must fall for lack of time, Notwithstanding the storm the Capitol has been thronged all day and this evening by the strangers who have come hore to attend the inauguration. The ladies have been well represented, not being willing to lose what ‘to many, perhaps, may be the only opportunity of their lives to witness the legislators of the nation in council assembled. ARBITRARY ARRESTS AND TRIALS DY COURTS MAR- ‘TIAL. ‘There was a very lively time in the Committee of the ‘Whole House this afternoon, over the amendment to the Miscellaneous Appropriation bill, proposed by Winter Davis, prohibiting trial by court martial of persons not in ‘the military or naval service, or rebel spies in States or “Terrtories where the United States courts are open. Mr, Davis advocated the amendment in an able and eloquent apeech, as did also Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, Great “excitement prevailed, it being understood that this was a blow at tho Secretary of War, under whose auspices the Present system of arbitrary arrests and trial by court -martial, or military commission, had reached its present overshadowing proportions. Mr. Farnsworth rather fecbly defended the Secretary of War; but the feeling and opinion of the House were so manifestly against him that it was uphili work. When the amendment was @arried in committee there was seme applause on the oor. In the House this evening there was something of ‘& struggle over the matter, the yeasand nays being called several times, That part of the amondment which was retroactive was voted down in the House, and as passed it only applies to future trials and arrests. It is believed ‘that the Senate will agree with the House and the coun- tzy, that the time has arrived for a return to legal trials of parties charged with crime who are not in the military or naval service, and that a long step will thus have been taken towards a return to a legal and constitutional order of things, rendered practicable by the collapse and ap- proaching termination of the rebellion, THE NEW JERSEY RAILROAD MONOPOLY. An attempt was made in the Senate this evening to put tho Delaware and Raritan Railroad bill on the Tax bill as a rider, but it only received seven votes, As New Fersoy has rejected the constitutional §amendment there is some hupe that the anti-monopoly bill may yet be passed, and the Camden and Amboy Railroad be gub- fected to a healthy competition. CANDIDATE YOR JUDGE OF THE NEW DISTRICT Sg COURT OF BROOKLYN. “It appears that another formidable candidate has ‘wrnod up for ihe Judgeship in the Eastern or new Judi- cial distriot of the State of New York. William E. Rob- inson, well known among the New York politicians as “Richelieu,” is now being pressed by a strong party for that position. He is backed by letters from leading New England and New York politicians. Several Senators and members waited upon the President to-night in his behalf, His friends are exceedingly sanguine of success, but it is doubiful whether the President will go back on ‘oth of the Now York Senators and Mr. Raymond in this matter, wio have united in recommending 0, L. Benedict, of Lrooklyn. DESERTERS FROM LER’S ARMY. A letter from a leading commander of the Army of the. Potomac, received here to-day, states that during the ‘Vast ten days tie deserters from the rebel army defend- ing Richmond and Petersburg have averaged one hun- dred and forty perday, Those now coming in are vote- rans, ag, not being able to trust conscripts, the veterans oy: plaged on picket exclusively; but these appear to be reliable as the others, CRTARY FESSENDEN AND HIS SUDORDINATES. e-day the chiefe of the various bureaus of the Trea- y Dopartment proceeded to the room of Secretary conden, when Judge Nathan Sargeant, the Commis- waer of Customs, in his own and thetr behalf, delivered & bref address, expressive of their respect for bim, on tho ove of his retiring from the Treasury Department, ond expressing their cordial wishes for his health and Yuppiness, Secretary Fessenden replied in appropriate terms.

Simeon Leland.—The plaintiff in this action was a gnest at the Metropolitan Hotel in November, 1863, During the night a thicf en- tered his room, and carried off a gold watch and chain valued at four hundred and thirty dollars, and a pocket- book containing eighty-five dollars. Upon investigation it appeared that an entrance to the room was effected by means of a false key.

The lecturer, in introducing his subject, said:—the Book of Nature was always open for instruction and guid ance. With silent emphasis it applied to the understand- ing whatever potitical or religious sentiments we enter. tained. Throughout the whole world ef human organt- zation the scheme of nature was always the same, The subject of the eveniag was toshow the progressof bumas: suotettes to comport themselves to and follow the Loot- ponts of nature, and that these movements aré alwsye determined by the law of nature.
