The lobbies and corriders of the fhotels were crowded with & motley mass of drenched and disgusted pecple, and the benches and even the floors of the depots were filled with passengers brought In by the evening trains who preferred remain- ing over night without rest, to seek ing sccommodations in the face of the blinding storm.

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Frivow Ormizess:—We stand to- day upon sn cminence which over- looks & hundred years of national life in & country crowded with pes but crowned with triumphs of liberty and love. Before continuing our onward march, let us pause on this helght for » moment to strengthen our faita and renew our hope, by 8 glance at the pathway along which our people have traveled. It is now three days more than s hundred years siace the adop- tion of the first written constitution of the United States, the articles of confederation and of perpetual union. Tae new Republic was then beset with DAXGER ON EVERY HAND, and had not vonquered a place in the family of nations. The decisive batile of the war for independence, whose centennial anniversary will be grate- fully celebrated at Yorktown, had rot beenfought. The colonists were strag- gling not only sgainst the armfes of Great Britain but against the settled opinions of mankind, for the world did not beliere that the supreme au- thority of government could be safely entrusted to the guardianehip of the themsclves.

WasrixcroN, March 4—10 p. m. —After the*inauguratich coretacnies had been concluded, there was some delay in the reforming of the proces sion, which was to be revlewed by President Garfield. It was loug after 1 o'clock before the motes of prepara- uion were sounded. The military and ofher crganizations wero stretched toward all points of the compass trom the capital while walting Companies marched and countermarched, and several bands entertalned the thous- ands with martial airs. Not ono- tenth of the crowd could get near the grand stand east of the capitol to hear Gen. Garfield's inaugural, and hence they gathered about the military or- gavizations. Taousands were gather- ed in Pensylvanla avenus between First and Four-and-a half streets. Shortly after 1 o'clock a platoon of po- lico appeared to_clear the way, and then it was known that the grand procassoin was to move A few min- utes later there was a demonstration, and then the procession, headed by Gen. Sherman and ataff, started. Foi- lowing them came the escort, and then President Garfield in an ogen barouche, accompanied by ex-Prosi- dent Hayes and Senstors Thurmsn and Bayard, As the presldent’s car- rlsge turned the corner at the naval monument into Pennsylvania avenue, enthusisstic cheers rent thealr. The police had much difficulty in keeping the way clear. The President ronte along the avenue and up to the exccu- tive mansion was one continved ova- tton, The marching and evolations ot the troops were continuously ap- plauded. The Ninth New York regi- ment, Fitth Maryland regiment, the Washington Light infantry, Eighth Pennsyvania regiment, and the Naval cadets attracted particular attention. The whole of the broad avenue was lined with speotators. AT THE GRAND STAND. Long before the procession left the capitol all atands in the vicivity of the reviewing point in front of the White House, were filled by spestato:s, who 1| waited impatiently. A score of army officers occuplod the eastern section of the grand stand ssearly as 12:30. At 2p. m. Gen. Hsncack was deiven up in a carriage. As he mounted the stand and took a front seat with his friends in the western section, ho was heartily cheered, and acknowledged the salute by rlsing and doffing his hat. At 2:30 the president’s emply carriago drove around from the south entrance to the White House, and President Garfield and ex-President Hayes walked arm-in-arm, and took up position on the reviewing stand, The prosident was received with_protracted applause. Before the head of the procession was in sight, the party on the stand were constituted as follcws: Inthe centre stood President Garfield. On his right was his wife, mother and Mrs. Sheldon, who came from Ohio with them. On the left were ex-President and Mrs, Hayes, and the president’s two little boys stood before their mother. Immediately behind the president wera Generals Sherman and Sheridan, Secretarios Evarts and Schurz, and other ex-cabinet cfficers and a few lsdies, At 12:45 the head of the procession reached the reviewing point, and for a long time President Garfield stood with his head uncovered. At no time was his hat on his head for five con- secative minutes. General Hancock left the stand scon after the proces- sion bogan passing review.
