Speeches of the Incoming and Outgoing Chief Magistrates, ALBANY, Jan. 1, 1875, A cold, clear day, with the sun shining brightly e this peculiarly antiquated town, ushered in ‘the ceremonies of inauguration. There was con- miderable more enthusiasm exhibited to-day than | Several reasons | on former occasions of the kind. Operated to produce this difference. Two years eo Governor Dix, with all the Mush of a 50,000 MMajority vote, took hold of the heim of State. Tne ‘Wepublican party bad achieved an unprecedented ‘Victory in the State canvass, with John A, Dix as (Sheir standard bearer. A tremendous majority Mad swept away his democratic opponent. The #34 Of last November brought a change. Samuel J. ‘Nilden receivea even a larger majority than his competitor. The revolution was complete, and astonished the country. To-day this contest was nally ended by the induction of Mr. Tilden tuto Executive Chair. PRELIMINARIES OF THE DAY, It requires something of a singularly electric wharacter to arouse even a decent excitement among the Albanians. The advent of an inaugu- Fation does not seem to assume such large pro- Portions in the eyes of Albany citizens as the event might warrant in other quarters of she glove. gee Atan early hour of the morning the principal Dotels were alone the scene of preparation. Tne streets were perambulated by uniformed | @embers of the National Guard. The military | @isplay was considered a gooa one for Albany. | Witteen hundred soldiers took part in the proces- sion, Many of the officers of these organizations are democrats, and a deeper interest was con- sequently felt by these genticmen tn the display. At half-past nine o'clock Governor Tilden’s staf, gorgeous in new uniforms, assembied at the Delavan House, and proceeded in carriages to the { Mouse of Governor Tiiden in Eagle street. Here | ‘Shey awaited the procession which was to take up ‘Bhe Governor aud conduct him to the Capitol. THE PROCESSION, Shortly after ten o’clock the procession formed 4m Ime on Eagle and State streets. The Gover- | Mor’s residence ia at the corner of Eagle street and Madison avenue. An open carriage was pro- ‘wiaed for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. At eleven o’clock, Governor Tilden having taken ‘hts position, the procession moved in the follow.ng order: ” Platoon of police, wick command of Sergeant yan. ‘Brigadier General D. M. Woodhall, commanding Ninth brigade, and stail. Klein’s Band. Swenty-Nfth regiment, Colonel Frederick Andes commanding, Battery A, Captain John Pochin commanding.

Suilivan’s Band, @enth regiment, Colonel Kobert 8S. Oliver com- manding. @avairy, Ninth brigade, Brevet Major George Schwartzman commanding. ‘The route of march was more leugthy than that formerly taken. it was as follows:—Up Madison mvenue to Dove street, across Dove street to Hud- pon avenue, down Hudson avente to Pearl street, | up Pearl to Orange street, down Orange street ‘to Broadway and down Broadway to State street, OUTSIDE THE CAPITOL BUILDING. About 1,000 persons assembied outside the Capitol, on the steps and around its wings. There ‘was no demonstration in any way. anxiety to get in and arush at the doors were tne paly evidences of excitement. A guard of police Kept order, An injunction had been issued to ad- mit none to the ftoor of the Assembly Chamber ‘until alter the entrance of the incoming and out- going Governors, with their respective stats. The gallery Was thrown opeu at ten o’ciock, and all that could be accommodated were allowed to enter. One-half the crowd was composed af gayly | Gressed ladies. | . ABRIVAL OF GOVERNOR DIX. | At eleven o’ciock Governor Dix arrived at the | Capitol and proceeded tw the Executive Chamber | ‘wito his staff toawait the coming of Governor | Tilden. The old geutieman appears in excellent | bealch and was received with @ cheer by the | crowd. | IN THE ASSEMBLY CHAMBER. | Although instritctions lad been given to admit mone to the floor of the Assembly before the ar- Fivai of the two Governors, yet imauy of the priv- wileged were accorded seats, a large delegation of | ‘he press from various parts of the State among ‘the number.

Bradiey, Comptroller Hopkins, Senator King, ex-Seuator Thayer, Superintendent Cuap- Man, losurance Department; Superintendent of | M@msiruction Giimore sud others. Tuere was a buzz ‘of gossip and expectancy in the assemblage. KEx- Governor Hoffman sat beside Governor Dix’s Gaughter and engaged tuat lady in animated con-) versation. The ouly legisiative representative trom New York present was Mr. Joun T. McGowan, mem- ber of assembly from the Sixteenth district, in company with Mr. Morris J. Powers, Clerk of the Marine Court. Giimore’s Band furnished the mu- @ic, and was loca‘ed in the wing to tne right of the etand. THE CEREMONIES. At eleven o’clock the field and staff officers of ke Second vattalion, of Troy, marched in ana ed themeeives ia line to the ielt of te Speaker's piatiorm. A iew minuies ijater Gov- ernor Dix and Governor Tilden entered the Uha: ber arm in arm. They were toliowed by their re- spective staf officers. Both gentiemen tuen ascended the Speaker's Platform, aud Governor Dix, addressing his suc- @essor, spoke as \ollows :— Mr. TILDEN—The people of the State have called you to preside over tue administration of their vernment by @ majority Which maniiests the gest contidence in your ability, integrity and Mirmuess. | need not Say to you, who have had @o jong and familiar an acquaintance with public affairs, that in a State of such Magnitude as ours, | ‘With interests so vast and diversitied, there is & constant demand on the Chief Magistrate lor the ex- ercise Of the essential attributes oi statesmansiip.

Governor filden’s allusion to former friends, meaning Silas Wright, Marcy and others, had the | effect of almost completely unmanning him. He eVi icotly labored under strong sympathetic infu- ences, $0 that during part of vis address he was scarcely able to speak above a whisper. ADMINISTERING THE OATH, Secretary of State Willers then administered the new oath prescribed under the constitutional amendments to Governor Tilden, and a similar ceremony Was gone through with im the case of Lieutenant Governor Dorshetmer, ‘This conciuded the actual routine proceedings, id the new Governor proceeded to the Exetutive where & pubhle reception Was arranged, The crowd entered one by one and snook hands with their pew townsman, woo received ail im an affavie and triendly manner, A NEW YEAR'S CALL UPON GOVERNOR DIX.

DEPARTURE OF GOVERNOK DIX AND FAMILY. The Teuth regiment, National Guards, of this city, acted as escort lo Governor on the occa- Siow Of bis departure. At Lwo o'clock the proces- sion, with Governor Dix in an open carriage, started from the late Executive residence. Tuere Was 4 considerable gathering in the streets. The | day had become mucu warmer since morning and | the sup shone out brilliantly, The atmosphere was | invigorating and delightfal At the railroad de- | pot some .,000 people oi all classes had assembied, | and as the Governor alighted irom his carriage and entered the depot he was loudiy cheerea. he made a short speecd, thanking the citizens ior their Kindly adieu, aud hoped to be with them soon again. Me leit for New York im the twenty min- utes to Uiree train, He was accompanied by lis | wife, Mrs, Walsh and her two children, Mrs, Blake and two chitdren, Colonel John W. Dix, Hamilton | Fish, Jr., and Colonel Wagstad. The ovation which | the rearing Governor received 18 described as | | much wore demonstrative than that of apy of a similar character Which hag preceded it, FEELING AGAINST TAMMANY DICTATION. The feeling among country politicians here against Tammany caucus dictation has grown } somewha: in strength during the past twenty- | lour hours, One or two Tammany representatives ; Who came up to-night, however, declare tae whole movement a farce, that there is nothing in it and it is merely u side show to cause diversion from the clerksmp. Mr. Milton H, Northrup, from syra- cuse, is here, and works energetically in bis candi- dacy for the clerkship. He is spoken of very higtly by ail parties; but, if the slate 1s fixed as announced, Mr. Calkins must be the winmug lian. Mir, Swan, Assistant Secretary ef the Democrauc | Executive Committee, one of the hard workers im | hus party, comes out strongly in advocating the Claims Of Mr. Norturup.

Another decided | Straw, showing which way the wind blows. Kings | county has been heard from as sttll full of vim in the cause of Heury C. Murphy. None of tne delega- tions from that section have yet arrived. As to THE UNITED STATES SENATORSHIP, Matters to-night bear oO stmilar aspect to that | teregraphea by me yesterday, with the exception of Mr, Seymour's candidacy. Senator Parmenter said at the Delevan to-day that he would in the caucus positively nominate Horatio Seymour. His philosophy is that the office Must geek the man, not the man the office. Mr. Seymour 18 the most desirable candidate and best fitted for the duties, and if the party require his services, LOCWithstanding his declination, he must come to the iront. These views are significant, emanating irom such @ source, APPOINTMENTS NECESSARY, The canvass for minor Offices in the Assembly is coming lust. Mr. J, stanley Browne, from Uisego | county, and hosts of others are looking alter tue position of Sergeant-at-Arms.

THE PENNSYLVANIA SENATORSHIP, WILLIAM A. WALLACE THE COMING MAN. HAERISEURG, Jan. 1, 1875. Mr. William A. Wallace, democratic candidate for United States Senator, states to-night that he will receive not jess than eighty votes out of one hundred and twenty-eight to be cast in the elec- tion for United States Senator, and that Messrs, Clymer, Biack, Oowan, barr and Backalew will get mere complimentary votes. TOM SCOTT'S DESIGN OF POCKETING THE STATE LEGISLATURE. HargiseurG, Dec, 31, 1874. On Tuesday next the Legislature oi this State will convene. The most important topic discussea on the streets and in the hotels is the coming man for Untted States Senator. As your readers are aware, the recent democratic victory in this State has made the election of a member of that party a foregone conciusion. | find, on every hand, the Indications denote tuat William A, Wallace, State Senator elect from Clearfield county, wii be the chosen one to represent the Keystone State in the | Butional Senate for the ensuing term of six years. ne reason tor this 1s seli-evident. It is weil | known taaé for many years the Pennsylvania Cen- | trai Railroad has controlled the State Legislature. | This Was under republican rule. Now that the | Gemocrats are in the ascendancy the wily and | astute managers o1 the Pennsyivania Ratlroad | have achieved another victory aud have pocketed the democratic party. The multifarious schemes pregnant in the brain of Tom Scott aemand com- plese ownership of the party in power, and it 18 | again accompiisned. THE RULING MOTIVE | of tne Pennsylvauia Central Ratiroad 1s now to se- cure a government subsidy to resuscitate the de- | funet and bankrupt Southern Pacific Railroad. The roatter is advocated in the various jourpais | they control. ‘To iurther the scheme, what better auxiliaries can they need than Senators who are directly tuterested with them? William A. Wal jace, Vice President of the Southern Pacific Rai- Toad, is a direct awent, Your correspondent believes that the gigantic Pennsylvania Railroad, representing $60,000,000, is making strenuous efforts to control the Legisia- tures of New Jersey, Ohio and Indiana, for the jurther advancement of the subsidy project. I pre- dict that, if they are successful, another Credit Mobilier will be galvanized under the name and title ol the Texas Construction Company, and its career Will be # Copy of the villany and corruption Of its predecessor. ‘The mitial point of the plan, as defined by the party Managers, .s the organiza. | tion oi the Honse. The Wajliace Jaction have made up tye slute, awarding the Speakersbip to Patter- | son, of Allegheny, and, to satisfy the kastern sec- | tion, have decided to elect McGowan, of Philadel- phia, as Oniet Clerk. | This arrangement, however, may be changed. | Some of thecountry members may prove stubborn and kick the traces. Again, THE BUCKALEW AND OLYMER PARTY May be able to effect a barter and trade that will gre them control of tue House, and so defeat the | Wallace comomation. In the confused state of | affairs | cannos assert with any certaity the | choice of the party, but the foregoind is what { | have gleaned from careful inquiry. Nothing aefi- nite will be known until the Wallace clique hold | Shear caucus, which will probably be on Sunday. osama | The folowing record will show the changes in the temperature during the past twenty-four | hours in comparison with the corresponding date of last year, a8 recorded at Hudnoui’s Pharmacy, | HseRaLy ee New York :— 7 187 5. 1874, 187 SA.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1, 1875. COURTESIES OF THE SEASON AT THE CAPITOL, The day was given over entirely to oailing, busi- ness being stopped. The morning was bright, but cold, the streets clean and dry, and Washington Wore @ holiday look. In the afternoon it threat- ened snow and early in the evening sleet began to fall, making the streets slippery and very uncom- fortable for men and horses, ‘The day has passed pleasanuy and a great many calls have been made. GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. WasuINGTON, Jan, 1, 1875, OFFICIAL COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON. ‘The usual reception took place at the Executive Mansion to-day, foreign Ministers, Cavinet officers, Jueges of the Supreme Court, Army and Navy officers and many others paying thelr respects to the Presiaent. A large delegation of the Mexican war veterans, under the marstalship of ex-Gov- ernor Herbert, of Louisiana, were received by the President in acordia! manner, He ts decidedly in favor of having pensions granted to them. Ex- Governor Herbert afterward entertained his old comrades in arms at the Ebbitt House. The mem- bers of the Cabinet and hundreds of others opened their houses to visitors and dispensed hospitali- ties. During the afternoon there Was @ slight fail of snow. THE KIOWA, APACE AND CHEYENNE INDIANS IN FAVOR OF SCHOOLS FOR THEIR CHI DREN. The Kiowas, Apaches and Cheyennes have sig- nified their willingness to avail themselves of an opportunity to piace their children at school and } ask that schools be opened immediately. Agents Haworth and Miles are confidens of thetr ability to maintain euch schools if funds can be secured for them. This will require additional expense both at the Kiowa and Cheyenne agencies, as the tribes | are unwilling that their children should aMmitate in school, and each of the three tribes has sufficient children for more than one school. The sum of $50,000 is thereiore asked by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for the civilization of the Indians of the Central Superintendency, THE VALUE OF FORLIGN COINS IN AMERICAN MONEY. The following circular has been issued by the Treasury Department :— TREASURY DEPARTMENT, } Wasuinaion, D.

With the performance of “Atda,” which took place last night at the Academy of music, the fall Beason of thirty nights came to aclose. The sea gon has beeD & very unremuneratiye one for the management, owing to the inlerent weakness of the company, the injudictous chetce of wornout works, the general prostration of business and the reaction in the m’nds of the operatic public alter the brilliant season of 1873-"4. Mile, Marexi essayed the tlie rode in “Alda” and seemed to be overweighted with tt. We have pot bad as yet a really competent represent ative of this magnificent role, Miss Cary charming as ever as Amneris, and gl 04 al- though laboring uoder a coid and a manifest tiness, went throagh lus part of Radames creditably. | Del Puente was satisiactory in the rdle of Amo- nasro, and the chorus and orchestra were constd- erably reduced tn number, The audience was smail, Dui very enthusiastic. On Tuesday evening Mile. ‘Albani appears at the Brookivn Academy tor the first ame as Amina in “La Sonnambula,”” The company return to New rk on Marck 1lor a season of thirty nights, THE STADT THEATRE. “La Belle Héléne,” one of Offendach’s most tunefal, most laughable and most improper works, was produced last evening to a large audience at the Stadt Theatre. The principal rdve was sus- tained by Miss Lina Mayr, whose tun was sofll- ciently broad and whose gestures were sufficiently suggestive to please the tree-and-easy young gen- tlemen in the pit, and even made the good-na- tured ladies in the Dalcony laugh against their will, The remainder of the cast calls for no espe- cialcomment. The singing was very fair, ana the cling had much of that dash and which we are only wont to expect from Mile, Almée’s coun- trymen and country Women. There was none of the proverbial German phlegm about it. The au- dience relished the taking airs, broad jokes and doubt:ul hints with which this opera abounds, and rewarded Mr, Neuendorf’s troupe liberally with applause. MRS. CONWAY'S BROOKLYN THEATRE, Brooklyn New Year's callers last evening were not as appreciative of the attractions provided for them by the manageress of their popular thea- tre a8 might have been expected. If Talmage had denounced the time honored custom—more honored, perhaps, in the breach than in the per- formance—ot New Year’s calls, and recommended a8 a sort of a corrective the theatre for that night only, 1t would have been another evidence of the effect of his pulpit fulminations as against the theatre per se, and also of the truth of the old adage, “You may lead, but you cannot drive,” A most excellent bill of Jare it was that Mrs. Con- way had prepared—“Leah,” the lady herself in the titie rd. The promise and the fulfillment were ail that could have attracted, ana yet those invited did not respond. The piece was most admirably put upon the stage. Mrs, Conway as Leah reminded those present who remembered her years ugo as hardly lacking in her wonted fire but in 2% huskiness of the voice that somewhat marred her utterance of some of the finest pas sages in the piece. Mrss Lilian Conway is gaining every daywfresh laurels. She evinces a surprising adaptability and readiness in taking any charac- tver—and representing it well—tnat may be given her, As Marguerite she added consideraoly | to the success of the plece and the Pleasure of the audience last night. ‘Tne other characters in the piece were, on the whole, Well sustained by those to, whom, irom Herman down, they were inirusted. It is but justice to way that the scenic effects were very fine, and re- fected great credit upon the management, The entertainments of the evening closed with The Rose oj Killarney; or, Kate Kearney’s Dream,” in which Miss Lilian Conway personated Kate Kear- ney, Whose descendant the Kaie Kearney of to- day—the dispenser of goat’s milk and mountain dew, in the Gap of Dunioe, every visitor to the Lakes of Killarney must have made the acqnaint- ance ol. ALMOST A MURDER. NABROW ESCAPE OF A POLICEMAN FROM DEATH AT THE HANDS OF A YOUNG BULLY. At about hall-past seven o'clock last night, as | Otticer Clarson, o! the Eighteenth precinct, was pa- troiling his beat on lirst avenue, he noticed a number of young men standing at the corner of Twenty-third street talking boisterously, obstruct- ing the sidewalk,aod making themselves generally disagreeable to passengers. stop to their disorderly actions, the policeman approached the and ordered them to move The orders were scarcely uttered before Hugh Campbell, a young desperado of about twenty years of age, who was considerably under the influence of liquor, drew a loaded seven shoot- ing Smith & Wesson revolver and pointed the same at the officer’s head, and, with an oath, im- Mediately pulled the trigger, The ball just yazed the policeman’s right ear, and beiore fe could recover from his almost petrified | condition at the unexpectedness of the felo- ious assault the would-be murderer snapped his pistol again, this time closer to the officer's head, but providentially the weapon did not goof. In | @ moment Clurson recovered his self-possession and seizing his baton dealt his assailant a blow on the head, Jeliing him to the ground. The young man’s companions, seeing his fate, now made good their escape and the valiant policeman was master of the fieid. The pistol was quickly taken | trom the prisoner and the latrer removed to the Twenty-second precinct station house, where he ‘Was locked up. OBITUARY. RICHARD BAKER, OF BOSTON. Richard baker, Jr., of the firm of Weld & Co., and one of Boston’s oldest and wealthiest mer- chants, died yesterday morning. MRS, J. L. MOTLEY. A cable telegram from ‘London, under date of the ‘Ist inst., announces the death of Mrs, J. Lothrop Motley, wife of the American historian, an event Wich will be deeply regretted by @ wide circle of personal iriends in Ameria and in England, COMMISSIONER DONNELLY TO RE- SIGN. It is understood that Mr. Edward L. Donnelly, one of ex-Mayor Vance’s appointees to the Board of Charities and Correction, purposes tendering his resignation to Mayor Wickham at an early date, The only reason for this step assigned by Mr. Donnelly is that he merely intended to occupy the position of Commissioner temporarily in order to secure the transaction of routine business by tne Board, He has no desire to retain the Com- missionership and will retire to private life alter a very brief tenare of public office.
