WASHINGTON INAUGURATED. The Ceremonies and Finthusiasm of a Noted Day. BEGINNING OF NATIONAL LIFE.

T shali, therefore, bo in readi- ness to set out the day after to-morrow and shall be happy in the pleasure of your com- pany; for you will permit me to say that it is a peculiar gratification to have received this communication from you.” TIE JOURNEY FROM MOUNT VERNON. Accordingly, on Thursday, April 16, 1789, the President-elect, accompanied vy General David Humphroys, 'of Connecticat, and Sec- retary Char Thompson, began the journcy which ended on _ Thursduy of the following week in New York City, where two days previously Viee- president Adams had tuken the oath and been inaucurated. ‘That night he slept at Bladensburg and next day reached Bultimore, Some miles outside the Moaumen the president was met by a large body of citizens on horse- back, and, amid the booming of cannon and “through crowds of admiring spectators” he was conducted to Mr, Grant's m\'ex . Saturduy niorning at hulf-past b, dential party left Isaltimore, as they tered, to the sound of artillery, and e by many prominent citizens; that evening he reached Havro de Grace and slept at Knight's Inn. The next morning the party crossed the Susquehanua, and on the border of Delaware were met by a company from Washington. Here the excessive regard for the Sabbath prevented s proposed illumina- tion of the houses, for which “the dec- oration of a vessel in the Delawaro opposite to Market street” was substituted. Sunday night he pussed at the Lafayette House, Wilmington, and rose at daybreak. Then on an_empty stomach General Wush ington was obliged o listen, for some weary hours, to addresses and long-winded speech from the Burg and Common council and other orators. So without breakfast he left the patriotic but inconsiderate town, and e his fast at the Washington House, in er, Pa. From this point his progress was a pageant. Shortly after leaving Ches- ter a_detachment of horsemen, under com- mand of Captains McDowell ana’ Thompson, joined procession. ‘The civic societies repre- sented in the line were headed by the veteran soldier and statesman, Arthur St. Clair, gov- ernor of the Western Terrtory. ‘The party crossed the Schuykill nto Phil adelphia, where a militury review, civie pro cession and & magnificent banquet testified 10 the citizens' vegard for their distinguished guest. The City Tuvern sheltered him that night, and early the next mor he was awakened by ‘the peals of the old Liberty bell. Nearly every institution in the city presented him with an address before he left town at 10 0'clock, NEAKING NEW YORR. Washington dinod at Samuel Henry's City Tavern, in ‘irenton, N. J., and drove to Princeton late in the aftarnoon to spend the night of Tuesday, the 27th, it is supnosed, with che president 'of the college, tho Re: Dr. Jokn Witherspoon, mot forgetting to write a note of thauks to the young ledies of ‘Crenton, who had been conspicuous in the cuthusiastic recytion the towa bad extended to him. At 11 o'clock on Wednesday morning, Washington left Princeton uuder military escort and took the old road to New Bruns- wick, where he wus 1ot by the war gov- or, William Liviogston, who drove with hiin to Wondbridge, where Wadnesday night was passed. On' Thursday, 23d, he breskfasted at Samuel Smith's public house in Elizageth- ited upon the congress- port, and then w conghes nea sionul comumitice at the res Doudinot chairinan of the WS Just o'clock noon, amid veals of tillery when, at klizsbethtown Poiat, Wash- ington stepped ubourd 8 magnificent barge which had been made o convey him up the bay w0 ew York. ‘The ~ beat cost between two hundred and three hundeed pou and was rowed by thirteen wasters of v 8, dressed in white were the congi Lanedon, Chi Johnson, of the heodoric 'Bland, companying, sional commit John Carroll, and William Saw senate, Elias Boudinot, Thomas Tudor Tucker, Egbert Benson, and John Lawrence, of the house; Chancellor Livingston: John Jay, secretary for foreign affairs; Samuel Osgood, Arthur Lee and Walter Livingston, commissioners of the treasury; General Henry Knox, secretary of war; Ibenezer Hazard, postmuster-general ; Colonel Nicholas Iish, adjutant-general of the forces of New York state; Richard Varick, recorder of the city, and other dignitarics. The grandest procession that had ever been seen in New York greeted the party as they came to the Murray wharf about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and escorted the president- elect to the Hoffman house, at the junction of Cherry and Pearl streets, on Irauklin square. He dined that evening with Gover- nor Clinton; the ensuing week was spent quietiy and unostentatiou APRIL THIRTIETIH, 1GHTY-NINE, For nearly a fortnight crowds had been pouring into New York. the taverns and boarding houses were filled to repletion, every private house was thronged, and eve the ~merchant ships and coasters werd pressed into service, and many persons slept in tents on the common, 80 ecager were the citizens to witness the crowning act of the lonial revolution and national evolution. The center of attraction was Federal Hall, where the New Congress sat. It stood on the corner of Wall and Nassau streets, at the head of Broad street, where the custom house now stands. It had originally been the city hall, built from stona waich was taken from the old fortitications. The building had been transformed av an expense of $32,000, con- tributed by a number of wealthy gentlemen when it had been selected by the continental as the place of meeting of the new congres: and 1ts name was changed with its architec ture. The ceremonies of the day were ushered in by a salute fired at daybreak from the batteries of old Fort George below Bowling Green. At that early hour the sireets were rapidly filling up. At S o'clock the sky was overcast, and presented every appearance of an impending heavy storm; but AL 4 o'clock, when the beils in the church steeples and in the beltries of the public buildings began their joyous peats, the clouds broke and the glad sunshine burst forth. Lu all the churches divine service was held, “to implore the blessiugs of Heaven upon their new Goyern- ment, its favor and protection to the Presi- dent, and success and acceplance to his Administration,” At noon the procession that was to conduct George Washington to the inauguration at Federal Hall assembled in Franklin Square, There were public officials, civic societies, bands of music, the usuzl military display, and, of course, ‘citizens on foot and on horseback.” * Prominent pluces were assigned the new cabinet, the congressional committees and the state and munic!pal au- thorities. Colonel Morgan Lewis, grand marshal, aud Majors Van Horne and Morton, his aides, were at the head of the procession, followed' by over five hundred soldiers, con sisting of a troop of horse, the artillery, two companies of grenadiers, a company of light infantry, the battalion men, a company in the fuli uniform of Scotch Highlanders with the national music of the bagpipe; the sheriff, Rovert Boyd, on horseb: the senate com: mittee—Richard Heury Lee, Ralph Izard aud Tristam Dalton; the president in a state coach drawn by four horses, attended by Colonel Humphreys and Tobias Lear, 1o the the president’s own carriage; the commitiee of the house—Egbert Benson, Fisher Ames and Dauiel Carroll; John vay, Heary Kuox, Chanceller Livingsion; S el Osgood, Arthur Lee and Walter Lnnnx ston, the chief heads of departments; his ox- cellengy the Count du Moustier, and his ex- oulleney Don Diegode Gardoqui, the French #od Spanish ambassadors; other gentlemen widistinetion and « multitude of citizen WASMINGTON AT FEDERAL HALL.

On the right were the vice-president and the scnate, and on Was hington's left the speaker and the house of representatives, The vice-president then said: *Sir, the senate ahd house of representa- tives are ready to attend you to take the oath reauired by the constitution, wnicn will be administered by the Chancellor of the state of New York.” T am ready to proceed,” was the reply given m the calm and digmified manner which distinguished the hrst president. Mr. Adams led the way:to the gallery over the main entrance to the building, and facing Broad sireet. General Washinzton fol- lowed, surrounded by as of the higher functionavies as find room in the confined 3 balcony. Of the group, perhaps the most striking figure was Robert . Livingston, a full dress of changellor's robes. Sceretar Otis carried the bible on a_crimson cushion, and stood at Gengral shington's right, between him and the chaucellor. The bible, borne by the secretary, was ove borrowed from St. John's lodge of Masons near by, it having been discovered, almost_at the last moment, that there was no copy of the scrip- tures in'Federal Hall at the time, It was opened at the fiftieth chapter of Genesis. At the proper moment _Chancellor Living- ston raised his hand and said to Washin to You do solemnly swear that you will faithfully execute the ofice of President of the United States and will to the best of your ability, preserve, protect and_di the Constitution of the United Thesc words were repeated by the pre who then bowed his head and kissed the open book, adding in a solema tone of voice ana with much emotion, I swear, so help me God.” It is done,” said the chancellor, who im mediately proclaimed, *‘Long live George Washington, ‘PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES," ‘The president bowed to the vast crowd, who interspersed with cheer after clieer the reports of thirteen cannon. The scene is described by Miss Eliza Quincy, an eye wit- ness: I ‘was on the roof of the first house in Broad street, which belonged to Caplain Prince, the father of one of my schiool companions,iand so near Washington that I could almos§ hear him speak. The windows and the wofs of the houses were crowded, and in the streets tne crowd was 80 dense that it ‘geemed as if one might literally walk on the heuds of tne people. ‘The balcony of tha'hall was in full view of this assembled mulitpde. 1n the center of it was placed a table with a rich covering of vet, and upon this, on a crimson t cushion, lay & large and elegant bible. "This was ull the paraphernalin for the august scene. All eyes were fixed upon the balcony, where, at the appointed hour, Washington entered, accompanied by the chancellor of the state of New ¥ork, who was to admin ister the oath; by John Adams, vice-presi- dent; Governor Clinton 2ud many other dis tinguished men, 14y the great body of the nzople be had bly never.beew seen except us o mili iero, Phe firet Jn war was now to pe the Tirst in peace. His entrance on the balcony was anunounced by universal shouts of joy ‘and vwelcofue. His abpearance was most solemn and dignified. Advancing to the front of the balcoby. he laid Lis hand on his heart, bowed several times and then retived t0 4 seat near the' table. The populace ap. peared to understand that tne scene had overcome him, and were gt once hushed in vrofound silence, After a few Washington arosé and came forward. Chan cellor Livingstou read the oatn, according to the form prescribied by the constitution, and Washington repeated it, resting bis hand upon the table. Mr. Otis, the secrotary of the senate, then Jook a bible aud raised it to the lips of Washington, Who stooped and kissed the bogk. At this moment a signal was given by raising a flag on the cupola of the hall fur & general discharge of the artil lery of the battery, All the bells of the city vaug out & peal of joy, and the assembled multitude sent forth s ueiversal shout.

Sterling Mor- ton. The gayly decorated strects of last Monday, the brightly dressed school children in line with flags and banners, the home or- ganizations, military and civic, the great outpouring of citizens and of neighbors from the surrounding country were all no less sub- stuntial witnesses to the enthusiasm with which Arbor day is celebrated in the city, where the idea was born than to the grate- ful regard in which its founder is held by those among whom he has lived and moved fo r more thun thirty years, The celebyation wus the most elaborate ever beld in Nebraska City. Distinguishea visitors were presont from abroad as invitea Ruestsof the city and with much appropri- ateness, the vitations were given with, but few exceptions to old friends of Mr. Morton and old residents of the state, them were Hon, James M.
