President Grant delivered yesterday his second Inaugural Address to the people of the United States, and his words will be read with deep interest by millions on both sides of the Atlantic. Both the matter and the style of the concise document which will be found in the Henaup to-day, will, no doubt, be criticised freely, and not always in a friendly spirit ; but if it cannot be classed as agreat State paper it certainly makes up in honesty and sincerity for all it may lack in diplomatic tact and finished rhetoric. As a composition it is faulty, and some of its posi- tions are fairly open to criticism; yet, as a whole, we recognize in it an earnestness | which promises a more positive policy on the part of the administration during the next four years than has prevailed during the term that has just closed. In his first Inaugural President Grant accepted the responsibilities of the high position to which he had been called without fear, but he indicated that he should have no policy to urge against the will of Congress. In his present Address he reminds the people that he enters upon his duties aided by his fours years’ experience in the office, and he implies that the period of inAction has passed and that the time has come, with the com- plete rehabilitation of the States, for the agita- tion of new and important questions. If from this weare to conclude that Congress is no longer to be suffered to shape the national policy at its will, and that the President will refuse to continue a mere instrument for car- rying out the schemes of a political party the foreshadowed change will be hailed with satisfaction by the country. In the recent election, the popular voice declared unmis- takably for General Grant, the soldier of the Republic, and not for the republican party. In the early State elections, unaided by Gen- eral Grant's name, the republican banner was trailed in the dust or the large republican ma- jorities were so greatly reduced as to render suowss almost a defeat. But in November, under the influence of the President's strength, nearly all the States of the Union ranged themselves on the republican side, with their old-fashioned votes. Since the close of the campaign’ facts have been de- veloped which have not, served to increase the popularity of republicanism, and President Grant cannot with safety identify his present term of office with that party and its policy. Fearing the consequences of the recent dis- closures, some of the republican organs are striving to fix the stigma upon individuals and repudiate the idea that the party is in any manner responsible for their acts. This might be all very well if the republican ma- jority in Congress had not, by condoning the offences of individual members, become a party to the crime. The Senzte spoke for the republican party when it endorsed Patterson, Harlan, Pomeroy and Caldwell and: had no breath of censure for Logan and Wilson. The House of Representatives spoke for the republican party when it whitewashed Garfield, Kelley, Dawes, Bingham and Scofield and shrunk in a cowardly manner from the expulsion of Brooks and Ames. When President Grant holds out the expecta- tion that he will no longer have no policy to urge against the will of the Congressional majority he meets the popular sentiment, and excites the hope that in his present term of office he will be less under the influence of the politicians than he has been during the term which has just closed. We must look to the brief allusions in the Inaugural for indications as to what the new national policy is likely to be. We find in it the expression of a firm conviction that “the civilized world is tending towards republican- ism, or government by the people through their chosen representatives, and that our own great Republic is destined to be the guiding star to all others.’’ Entertaining these views, it is not- possible to understand how the President can refrain from adopt- ing warmly the cause of the Cuban repub- licans, or refuse to extend to them that aid which is their due from the “guiding star of republicanism to the civilized world.” The President, however, seems rather to in- cline towards annexation to our own Republic than towards the formation of independent republics as our neighbors. He takes occasion to controvert the argument that an extension of territory must’ necessarily give us an in- creased navy, and insists that such increase might rather enable us to diminish the force. In the case of the proposed annexation of St. Domingo the President adheres to the opinion that he was right in his policy and that Con- gress was wrong; but at the same time he somewhat sharply announces that in future the subject of the acquisition of territory must have the support of the people before he will recommend any proposition looking to such acquisition. The allusion to St. Domingo, accompanied by a repudia- tion of the idea that governments become weakened and destroyed by reason of an extension of territory, may possibly be ad- judged an attempt to encourage hope and faith in the new speculative settlement of Samana Bay ; but we prefer to regard it as an evidence of the enthusiasm of the President in the cause of republican government. We believe, however, that the wise policy of the United States is to foster the establishment of independent republics in all the outlying territory where the people are prepared for the change, and to resist rather than to court annexation. We have hoped that President Grant would be the- firm advocate of such a policy in his second term of office, and that the influence of our government would do much to establish the independence of Cuba, and, perhaps, within four years would ad- vance materially the prospect of a Canadian republic. The friendly alliance of such neigh- bors would be of greater value to us as an element of power than their annexation to our own territory. But as President Grant now casts off all thought of acquisition of territory unless previously demanded by the people, nothing remains for him but to foster the establishment of independent republics if he would aid the cause of free government, and hence we may consistently interpret his lan- guage as hopeful for the future of the strug- gling Cubans, Four years have passed since they stood, as they now stand, in arms against those who denied them a ‘government by the people through their chosen representatives," and yet the “guiding star’ of republicanism has not led them out of their troubles. In Spain an absolutism has given place toa repub- lic, and from the latter, at least, the President of the United States has the right to look for justice to Cuba. Let us hope that the cheer- ing words of the Inaugural will be followed by a national policy that will directly benefit the people of the neighboring island and ex- ercise a happy influence upon those European nations which are already ripe for republican government, But, while we favor freedom abroad, let us guard jealously against usurpation at home. “My efforts in the future,’’ says President Grant, ‘‘will be directed to the restoration of good feeling between the different sections of our common country." We do not believe that the President utters words without mean- iy and without sincerity, and hence we have F; ght to expect from him such a change of policy towards the South as will restore the good feeling between the sections, lost through the illiberality and _ po- litical intrigues of Congress in the work of reconstruction, The civil rights of the colored population of the Southern States, to which the President pledges his support, can be better secured through the action of the States themselves than through the intermed- dling of the scheming politicians in Congress, whose object is to set race against race and to strip the white men of the South of all power over their own political affairs. To-day Louisiana stands bound in the fetters of usurpation and powerless to enforce those rights guaranteed by the constitution to every State in the Union. With her legitimate government driven from power at the point of the federal bayonet, with her legally elected Legislature paralyzed, and with self-elected men assuming the province of making her laws and levying taxes on her people, with her Courts packed with partisan judges by a bogus Legislature and a usurping Governor, Louisiana is at this hour in a worse state of bondage than when the fetters still hung about the limbs of her slaves. It would be a mockery to pretend that ‘‘good feeling’ could be restored in Louisiana with these outrages heaped upon her, and the words of the President afford hope that the South will no longer be subjected to the oppression which, if continued, must destroy all con- fidence between the sections. But the Presi- dent also says: —‘‘The States lately at war with the general goyernment, aro | Row, nSppily re- habilitated, and no Executive control is exer- cised in any one of them that would not be exercised in any other State under like circumstances.’’ Surely President Grant must have forgotten Louisiana when he penned this sentence. Does he remember that a United States Judge, since branded by Congress, distorted a law in order to issue an order driving from power the regular govern- ment and placing the_State at the mercy of a band of reckless conspitators; that these J illegal orders were enforced by a partisan United States Marshal, backed up by federal troops; that the State House was seized and surrounded with cannon, the ‘con- stitutional officers driven out, Governor, Judges and Legislators, and the usurpers installed in their places; that the Senate of the United States, appealed to as ar- bitrator, feared to endorse the outrage, de- nounced the Judge and left the State to get out of the difficulty as best it might; that the federal government is now asked by the usurp- ers to stand at their backs and to enforce their authority even at the cost of a massacre of the outraged people? And if the President has not forgotten or overlooked Louisiana, does he intend to say that the same ‘‘Rescutive con- trol’’ that has been exercised through Durell and Packard and Kellogg in Louisiana would be exercised in New York, provided the result of an election did not suit the politicians of the dominant party? We incline to the belief that the President must have forgotten Loui- siana! In its other foreshadowings of policy the Inaugural of President Grant will meet with general approval. The nation believes that’ the President will do all in his power during his second term to foster the commercial interests of the country, to preserve peace, to encourage the shipping interests, to aid manu- factures, to elevate labbr, to do justice to the Indians.and to correct the abuses that have grown up in the civil service of the country. The people will sympathize with the Presi- dent, too, in his naive allusion to his own untiring services to the country and to the abuse to which he has been subjected by the political ghouls. They trusted the Gen- eral of their armies during the war and found no reason to regret their confidence. They trusted the soldier- President in his first term of office, and, while he made some mistakes and was hampered with the blunders of the politicians in Con- gress and affected by the suspicions that at- tached to them, they saw no reason to with- draw their confidence from him last November. They now trust him again for a second term, but they expect that he will be the President of the nation and not the mere Executive of a corrupt Congress. The republican party to- day is an offence in the nostrils of the nation; but President Grant owes his election to him- self and not to the republican party. His Inaugural Address leads us to hope that he will exercise the independence he has won and that the new policy of his second administration will be framed for the people and not for the politicians. Tue West Pont Capets—Uncle Sam’s future war veterans—won universal applause by their soldierly bearing on parade in Wash- ington yesterday, while, in the evening, at the Inauguration Ball, they were the cynosures of hundreds of beaming eyes. Right dress, Tue Cres anp Cornuprions of the past Congress will have their effect on the republi- can party in New Hampshire on the 11th of this month and in Connecticut in April, as well as in Rhode Island. Senator Cragin, of New Hampshire (republican), predicted as much in the Senate yesterday. Tae Peruvian Government, we are in- formed, has given an answer to the circular that the government of Colombia had ad- dressed to the South American Republics in regard to Cuban affairs. Peru not only accepts the proposition made by Colombia, but clearly manifests her willingness to do all that may be necessary to obtain the inde- pendence of Cuba, and announces her inten- tion to convoke a Spanish-American Congress that will discuss the measures to be taken with that purpose, The Herald’s Inauguration Stories. America is accused of sensitiveness. To possess a sensitive mind is highly unconducive to personal happiness, and a nation composed of highly sensitive human particles is likely to be one liable to attacks of furious choler’ and corresponding reactions to sullenness and despondency. This description does net by any means fit the American people. It may be applied with more or less precision to Spain; but, as a general thing, the nations are emancipating them- selves from this thin-skinnedaess, and resting their self-appreciation on the solid ground of enlightened introspection. This may be looked at cynically as simply the com- placency of egotism as opposed to the egotism of touchiness, pugnacity and ridiculousness generally. M. Taine, speaking of a certain well-known type of English character, hits it off happily as ‘the hypertrophy of the ego.” Now, this happens to be the foundation on which some European writers have constructed the typical American. He is made 0 excessively proud of his immense country, its bird of freedom and its Stars and Stripes as to be totally imper- vious to ridicule or satire. Neither the super- sensitive nor the pachydermatous cast of mind, to our thinking, hits off the representative citizen of the Republic, although at times he gravitates to one extreme or the other. We feel ourselves strong and we do not like to see it unnecessarily doubted; but at the same time we have a happy knack of satirizing and laugh- ing at ourselves that bewilders the foreigner when he contemplates the two feelings in vig- orous action at the same time. We say all this as a species of introduction to the two accounts of the inauguration cere- monies at Washington yesterday, which we publish in to-day’s Hznatp. Written as they are by men, each representative of a peculiar bent of mind, that views matters from vastly differing standpoints, they will furnish to our readers an instructive moral of how differingly two intelligences of a high order, with a similar object, can see the same event. In the account supplied by Mr. Yates we may descry in conscientious guise something that gives us the giftie to see ourselves as ithers see us. It remains to be seen, when his crisp story has been crunched between the national teeth and digested, whether it wi!l free us from any foolish notions, Yankee or_ otherwise, one---plunges without any misgivings in medias res at once. ‘His not to reason why.’’ Drawing his steel pen, he spurs his Po- gasus up to the saluting battery, where salvos of popular poppycock are being fired in honor of the outgoing and incoming President. There will be found a grim satis- faction in turning from the Englishman's deliberate and successful sharpshooting from behind the British constitution to the chival- rous Don as, with big guns to the right of him, big guns to the left of him and big guns in front of him, buncombing and thundering, flashes his steel pen bare; flashes as ’t turns in air, sabring big gunners there, like a whole six hundred. It will be seen that Mr. Yates is con- siderate enough to let fall some pearly tears upon the page which chronicles our shortcomings in the show line. This is as it should be. There is something in American shows which requires the steady influence of time before they can be appreciated. Who has not heard of the tourist who is disap- pointed on his first view of Niagara? We have heard of tourists in California, who, after having had every joint dislocated in the journey to the Big Trees at Calaveras, declared the giant Sequoya a swindle on first sight. But they grew upon the tourists—both Niagara and Big Trees—until the wonder-seekers- found themselves surfeited with wood or water, as the case might be. May not we hope that, if Mr. Yates stops long enough in our midst to see a dozen or two Presiden- tial inaugurations, he will find the cele- bration of this year grow upon him like our great waterfall or our mam- moth trees upon more susceptible mortals. If he penned his account to-day perhaps he might modify his verdict. Perhaps, again, he would not, and we, therefore, shall look at his finding of “failure in the first degree” with all the consolatory balm we can muster at so short a notice and while stricken under such a shock to our feelings. In Mr. Piatt's account let us look for some of that soothing anodyne which Mr. Yates’ “‘historical mindedness’ has ren- dered so necessary. Mr. Piatt can afford to make things look a little more out of joint than they really may have been. Mr. Yates declares that things at their very best were but microscopic esculents compared with things he had seen in more gorgeous quarters of the globe. Better,, he thinks, have the President ride up, as a President once did,, tie his horse to a fence, go through the talk and the swearand go home than have such a penny-trumpet affair as we had yesterday. We feel almost ashamed of ourselves when we ruminate on this. We should have had “triumphal arches here and there ; Venetian masts, with brillant pendant streamers; windows and balconies gayly decorated ; wreaths of evergreens suspended here and there across the streets.’’ Why did we not have them? Mr. Piatt, why did you not, out of your well of information, instinctively tell us? How could you let Mr. Yates crush us, without one word of remonstrance, under the military pageants in the Champ de Mars of that archaizspostor who had his last earthly pageant at Chiselhurst the other day? You could make terrible fun of our citizen soldiery while he was overwhelming our republican simplicity with the Duke of Wellington's faneral and that other demonstration in London a year ago celebrating the recovery of the Prince of Wales. Could you not have given us a verse from Béranger's great satire upon all this royal stage- carpentering, where he so deftly’ ridi- culed the glitter of the Great Napoleon's diadem with the bonnet de laine of the good little King of Yvetot? Could you not have told us how ridiculous and unseemly a thing is the opening of England’s Parliament by “Royal Commission,” with 8 speech from the throne in what the Saturday Pooh-pooh calls “‘washerwoman’s English?’ Could you not, Mr. Piatt, instead of setting us holding our sides with your “quips and cranks and wreathed smiles,” have given us a picture of the Lord Mayor's show, with his Lordship perdu in his robes of state, and the great gilt } beet, known as the mace, stigking gut of the Mr. Piatt, on the other hand—and & gloveless | window? You did none of these things, and, on the whole, we are just as glad you didn’t. Mr. Yates finds fault with our tinted fraternity for not keeping step. We will tell him the reason. Our Afric-sprung children aro peguliarly sensitive to music. Anything that can be danced to it is impos- sible for them to march to. When they follow a band nature, luring them to execute a breakdown, is in constant struggle with discipline, demanding the Boose-atep. Tho strangest vagaries of parading are the result. The colored band cannot play in time for the same reason. The effort to march regularly is too much for them when every muscle is fighting with the “Es- sence of Old Virginny.”” Tho pedal difficulty trips up the tune, and dissonance is a natural’ consequence. This by way of explanation. Mr. Piatt furnishes us with an inaugural, and those who are not pleased with the one printed in another part of the Hzenarp can teke what Mr. Piatt sends. It is frankness itself, and as the franking privilege is about to be abolished it will come just in’ time. Our publication of twin stories of the inauguration is a departure from old custom, and will prove, we have no doubt, a refresher to the old inhabitants who havé been reading a stereotyped account of these impressive ceremonies from the days of the man with the little hatchet and the level head. Spring Fashions—The Milliners’ lennium. A queer, incongruous effect the new light fabrics and shades of Spring have in the show windows of the modistes to the shivering out- sider, whose ears and nose tingle in the biting wind and whose overshoes can scarcely keep out the slush and snow that decorate the side- walk. But Fashion is inexorable, and the feminine mind must needs employ itself with the raiment appropriate to ‘‘beautiful Spring.” Percales, pongees and Japanese goods invite the admiration of cloaked and furred behold- ers, and grenadines and sealskin cloaks are curiously intermingled. A lady of thermomet- rical proclivities would be liable to indulge in more changes of toilet at present than a Saratoga belle to accommodate herself to the various changes in the weather. The time may not be far distant when the modiste and “Qld Probabilities’ will join hands in the creation of now designs, and when the ther- mometer and barometer, aided by special de- spatches from the Signal Service Bureau, will be as necessary to the milliner and dressmaker as a sewing machine or fashion plate. But now the styles and materials for balmy days (far distant as they seem), and even Summer toilets, engage attention, Pater- familias need not groan in spirit at the approach of opening day, as in former years, for taste and economy have to a great extent taken the place of extravagance. To be sure, the latter may be unwarrantably indulged in as far as trimmings are concerned, for on some toilets it ig difficult to tell what. material forms the groundwork. But the good sense of American ladies, which has already eman- cipated them from foreign dictation, will prob- ably remedy this, and as Fashion no longer insists. upon placing barriers to taste and in- clination her leniency may be turned to good account. The multitude of names bestowed upon the styles which will prevail during the coming season would lead one to suppose that opening day will usher in a host of novelties; but the fact is that these names are applied to old favorites, whose shades and effect cannot be mistaken. In connection with the present weather, when the thermometer has a downward tendency, it is interesting to watch the gradual rise of the coiffure, until each particular bair is brought to the tup uf the head. When all the hair is thus brought to an apex the question naturally arises, Where on earth will the bonnet rest? Its former location—resting on the nose—was found to be undesirable, as it obstructed the view and gave a sort of ‘‘Mose’’ expression to the face. It has now changed its position to the back of the head, assuming a sailor-on- shore look, while the hair, combed down on the forehead, suggests the idea of a Skye ter- rier. It would be preferable to go back to the monstrous headdresses of the last century than to retain such a style as the one now in vogue. But it is to be expected that such things will right themselves, and that the bonnet will at last find an appropriate resting place. Mile A Reminiscence. Twelve years ago last month Presiden- Lincoln was in this city on his way to Wash- ington for his first inauguration. Secession was rampant and Fernando Wood was Mayor. Fernando was a politician in those days, keen and shrewd, and, like Joe Bagstock, ‘devilish sly." In a compact speech of twenty lines or so the democratic Mayor set a dangerous trap for the republican President, elect, designed to catch him on what was then dangerous ground for the politicians—the treatment of the seceding States. Shall they be held in by force or shall they be let go? was the question which all were prepared to ask and few cared to answer. It was the question adroitly put by Fernando Wood for Abraham Lincoln to reply to on the instant. ‘Will you hold the States or let them go, Mr. President?” Mr. Lincoln straightened himself up, looked benig- nantly at the smiling Mayor and answered “calmly and without the slightest mark of trepidation,’’ as the report says, ‘I undert stand a ship to be made for the carrying and preservation of the cargo,” said the President elect ; ‘if the ship can’t be saved without the cargo the cargo is sometimes sacrificed ; but as long as the ship can be saved with the cargo it should never be abandoned.’’ The Mayor sought no more information from President Lincoln. A paragraph in President Grant's Inaugural bears something pf the same character as Mr. Lincoln's reply to Mayor Wood. ‘No con- trol is exercised in any one of the rehabilitated States,” says President Grant, ‘that would not be exercised in any other State under like circumstances." When we think of Durell, Kellogg, Pinchback and the rest of the usurping gang in New Orleans, of the United States cannon and bayonets and of the success of the conspiracy to over- throw the legitimate government of Louisiana, we may well. be startled at this announcement of the President's and may tremble at the thought of finding ourselves in two years’ time subjected in New York treat- ment similar to that applied in the case of i But when. York is not under any circumstanoé ja like Louisiana ; that we have not been at war that we are not, happily, rehabilitated; tho’ we have no Durell, or Kellogg or Pinchbac amongus, and, mureover, that we havea largi able-bodied population, a good supply of roy and plenty of lampposts, we think of Abn ham Lincoln’s ship and cargo, and are able! laugh at President Grant's equally happy jok Tue News rrom Sovra aND OznTR Amenica by mail is notof unusual importane The chronic causes of popular agitation st produced a citizen ferment here and ther politics, religion and military matters furnia ing the chief material.
