Certainly not a Democratic administration, grasp were declined as in violation of the Con

ALimits Radical Convention,
The gist of the performances by this body
was the adoption of a resolution appointing
Foster Blodgett, N. P. Farrow, P. H. Sheibley,
J. W. Clift, J. M. Simms, John T. Costin and
H. M. Turner, to go on to Washington, report
the Convention, and beg the reigning powers to
loyal ize the State and Legislature. Resolutions
denouncing party traitors were introduced and
withdrawn. Also, a resolution denouncing
Gen. Meade. Foster Blodgett was specially
eulogized, and Dr. Blount did the principal part
of the “aorating”—Blount said he protested
“against the burning of churches by Demo
crats ” which was needless—that business being
confined strictly to radical negroes.
Our special report of this meeting, which
came by the afternoon's mail, is superceded by
more important matter.

The LaGrange Reporter contains the proceed
ings of a meeting at Hamilton, in Harris county,
on the 2d instant at which $165,000 were sub
scribed to the Stock of the LaGrange k Colnm
bns Railroad in the course of three hours.
Cotton.—The movements of the staple, says
the Savannah Republican, are suggestive, and
promise a verification of the views of this jour
nal on the subject The receipts at all the ports
for the week ending at the latest dates, were
67,156 bales, making the total receipts thus far
this season 1,588,155 bales, which, as compared
with the receipts to the same time last year (1,-
628,728 bales) show a falling off to the amount
of 40,628 bales. The stock on hand at all the
shipping ports is 277,970 bales, which, added to
the stocks in the interior towns not included in
tables of 88,000 bales, make a total stock of
460,970 bales, or 51,128 bales more than at the
same time last year. Oar exports to foreign
ports have decawd 201,867 bales, and to do
mestic ports tW^have increased 39,769 bales
over last year.
These figures show well for ootton, and will
give confidence to holders.
Hzxar Cult Dean, in a letter to Stilson
Hutchings, says: “Democratic societies are or
ganized in several of the Eastern States, and al
so in the Middle and Western States. I under
stand that the members of these societies pledge
themselves to vote for no man, for any office
whatever, who is not in favor of the entire abo
lition of the present revenue system, and who
is not also in favor of repudiating the entire
war debt of the United States, except the pen
sions and bounty due the soldiers of the United
States, and the support of the disabled Confed
erate soldiers who served in the ranks of that
army." _____
Editorial Calls-—We have, within a few
hoars, been honored with calls from 8. B. Wes
ton, Esq., Editor of the Dawson Journal, Col.
Estell, of the Savannah Morning News, and
CoL Styles, of the Albany News. All in perfect
health and fall of satisfaction with the financial
present, and hope for the future. Success to
you, brethren. Cob Styles says the expecta
tion in Albany is that the road to Thomasville
will be open in September next.
Current Legislation.—A Western [editor,
commenting upon the proposed line of railway
between the New York and Chicago, to cost thir
ty-six millions, says: “ The heaviest part of the
expense would be the cost in money to carry the
enterprise throngh the Legislatures of New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana,
in opposition to the powerful railroad interests
of those States.”
Senator Speer, of this District, was in our
office yesterday. We were glad to hear him ex
press the opinion that the Legislature would ad
journ, tine die, on Friday next.
Tux Cabinet.—The Cabinet, says the tele
gram, -creates no enthusiasm. We reckon not
Probably, however, it gave rise to some profan
ity-
The Removal Question Gains Ground.—Says
the Columbus Sun: Late advices from Atlanta
say that the bill providing for a return to Mil-
ledge villa will pass the House by the requisite
two-thirds vote. Let the people and the Press
continue on to warm up the Legislature on this
important question.
Forney is no organ-grinder. His nose is out
of joint. Last Sunday he telegraphs as a thing
arranged of course between ns and Gen. Grant,
that the Portfolio of Secretary of State was to
be given to Massachusetts.
The combination of a central location for bu
siness with a quiet and retired home, is afforded
by the addition of forty snits of rooms to the
American House, Boston. Travelers will find
this hotel one of the best in the land.

No Space.—The account of the Inauguration
and Ex-President Johnson's valedictory leave ns
little or no space for editorial to-day.
The LaGrange Reporter says his circulation
is going like the tongue of an auctioneer. The
paper well deserves it. Its proprietors boast of
ten tone all at work in the office and all ablo to
wield pen and type.
The Grant-Pollard Murder was on its
seventh day of trial in Richmond on the 3d
instant. __ •
Raw and Blustering.—An examplary March
day yesterday. Raw and blustering to the last
degree.
Southern Mammy.—This is a lovely sketch—
tree to the life. Read it on the fourth Page.
No Report.—The report of our Atlanta cor
respondent failed again Saturday morning.
Completion op the Next Congress.—Good
men will rejoice that the Radicals will not have
a two-thirds majority in the next House of Rep
resentatives. The National Intelligencer says:
‘According to the accredited returns of the
^?k ons Forty-first Congress, that body
will stand: Senate—-Republicans, 56; Demo
crats, 10; excluded, 8—total, 74. House—Re
publicans, 138 ; Democrats, 74; to be elected,
14; and excluded, 17—total, 213.”
Tribute to General Lee.—The Lynchburg
Republican says; *
An Oxford scholar named Worsely has recent
ly published a translation of Homer in Spencer
ian stanza, and dedicated the volume to “Gen.
Robert E Lee, the most stainless of living coin-
jnandere, and. except in fortune, the greatest”
The translation is said to be faithful to the text
of the original Greek, and to reproduce much of
the antique Homeric fire and beauty. We owe
the above information to a gentleman recently
returned from a tour through Europe.
i Gen. Grant was elected as the nominee of the
i Republican party, and will, doubtless, hold
| general fealty to his party, unless that party
should break with him as it did with Andrew
Johnson. In the case of Johnson, it is undeni
ably tree that he -was forced out of the Radical
organization by the institution of new party
tests and dogmas growing out of reconstruction.
The Radical organization may very possibly
hereafter split into factions upon issues arising
from the reform and retrenchment policy of
Gen. Grant, or upon his measures to reconstruct
the Executive Department upon its ancient
foundations; but that will not make him
Democratic President, although,beyond a doubt,
the Democracy, from patrotic motives, would
back him in all his efforts to re-assert the Con
stitution.
But Gen. Grant and his most conservative
supporters are still so far astray from the Dem
ocratic standard of constitutional republican
ism, that support from that party most come as
a mere choice of alternatives, in the way of an
approach to the Constitution against a farther
departure from it. No. sensible Democrat,
therefore, it seems to os, will cherish the hope
of being able to endorse and support Gen.
Grant's administration upon anything like gen
eral doctrinal grounds, or feel disappointed in
finding it a Republican administration.
' The most we can reasonably hope for, under
the icrcomstances, is that the new administra
tion shall not be in the hands of the radical fire
brands. This is the sum and substance of the
satisfaction we take in appearances thus far.
The ultras—the aggressives—the Reds—the
men who are for inverting society in the South
—putting the negroes atop and crushing the
Southern whites, have not got the reins. On
the contrary, they have been coldly ignored and
are already in quasi war with the new adminis
tration. Every leading aggressive Radical—
every man who has figured as a fugleman in the
war upon the white race of the Sooth, has been
passed by; and thus far the language and the
acts of the administration towards the South
bear the interpretation of good intent.
We have the augury of a government in the
South not incompatible with peace, order and a
reasonable degree of prosperity, instead of what
we might well dread—a government persistent
and unscrupulous in its efforts to build up a
negro party power at the sacrifice of every sub
stantial interest of the whole
the negroes themselves. Sensible
withont going farther, this alone
dent for gratnlation. It involves every sub
stantial inte^P of this section and remits our
wounds—social, civil and pecuniary—to the
molifying and healing influence of time.
Our own tree policy will be, by the exercise
of a wise prudence and forbearance to enoonrage
this disposition on the part of the powers that
be, and get throngh the next four years of
Grant’s administration with as little loss and as
ranch gain as possible. To sum all np in a word,
we are not to measure a Republican adminis
tration by what we would have it to be, so much
as by what post experience and observation have
taught ns it might be. We most make the best
of a political misfortune, and it will be, in our
judgment, equal folly—to travel beyond the re-
cord to carry favor or to provoke antagonism
from General Grant. There is just as little oc
casion for ns tosing hosannahs to General Grant,
as to indulge in silly and vapid denunciation of
his administration in advance.

THE OUTGOING AD.niNI.VntATIO.V.
PRESIDENT JOHNSON’S VALEDICTORY.
FAREWELL ADDRESS OF THE RETIRING PRESIDENT
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES—REVIEW
OF THE CLOSING ADMINISTRATION—THE POLICE
OF THE PAST, ETC.
Washington, March 3.—President Johnson,
os one of his last official acts, issues the follow
ing
ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
The robe of office,by constitutional limitation,
this day falls from my shoulders, to be immedi
ately assumed by my successor. For him the
co-operation and forbearance of the American
people, in all his efforts to administer the gov
ernment within the pale of the Federal Consti
tution, are sinoerely invoked.
Withont ambition to gratify, party ends to
subserve, or personal quarrels to avenge at the
sacrifice of the peace and welfare of the country,
my earnest desire is to Me the Constitution os
defined and limtied by the fathers of the repub
lic again recognized and obeyed as the supreme
law of the land, and the whole people, North,
South, East and West, prosperous and happy
under its wise provisions.
Surrendering the high office to which I was
called four years ago, at a memorable and terri
ble crisis, it is my privilege, I trust, to say to the
people of the United States a few parting words
in vindication of an official coarse so ceaselessly
assailed and aspersed by political leaders to
whose plans and wishes ray policy to restore the
Union has been obnoxious.
In a period of difficulty and turmoil almost
without precedent in the history of any people,
consequent upon the closing scenes of a great
rebellion, and the assassination of the then
President, it was, perhaps, too much on my part
to expect of devoted partisans, who rode on the
waves of excitement which at that time swept
all before them, that degree of toleration and
magnanimity which I sought to recommend and
enforce, and which I believe, in good time, would
have advanced ns infinitely farther on the road
to permanent peace and prosperity than we have
thus far attained.
Doubtless had I, at the commencement of my
term of office, unhesitatingly lent its powers or
perverted them to purposes and plans outside of
the Constitution, and become an instrument to
schemes of confiscation, of general and oppres
sive disqualifications, I would have been hailed
as all that was tree, loyal and discerning, as the
reliable head of a party, whatever I might have
been as the Executive of the nation. Unwilling,
however, to acoede to the propositions of extre
mists, and bound to adhere, at every personal
hazard, to my oath to defend the Constitution, I
need not, perhaps, be surprised at having met
the fate of others whose only reward for uphold
ing constitutional right and law have been the
conciousness of having attempted to do their
duty, and the calm and unprejudiced judgment
of history.
At the time a mysterious Providence assigned
to me the office of President, I was bv the terms
of the Constitution the commander-in-chief of
nearly a million of men under arms. One of
my first acts was to disband and restore to the
vocations of civil life this immense host, and to
divest myself so far as I could, of the unparal
leled powers then incident to the office and the
times. 'Whether or not in the step I was right,
and how far deserving of the approbation of the
people, all can now on reflection judge, when
reminded of the condition of public affairs that
must have resulted from the continuance in the
military service of such a vast number of men.
The close of our domestic conflict found the
army eager to distinguish itself in a new field
by an effort to pnnish European intervention in
Mexico. By many it was believed and urged
that, aside from the assumed justice of the pro
ceeding, a foreign war in which both sides
would cheerfully unite to vindicate the honor of
the national flag, and further illustrate the na
tional prowess,would be the surest and speediest
way of awakening national enthusiasm, reviving
devotion to the Union, and occupying a force
concerning which great doubts existed as to its
willingness, after four years of active campaign
ing, at once to return to the pursuits of peace.
Whether these speculations were tree or false,
it will be conceded that they existed, and that
the predilections of the army were, for the time
being, in the direction indicated- Taking ad
vantage of this feeling, it would have been easy,
as the commander-in-chief of the anny and navy
and with all the power and patronage of the
presidential office at my disposal, to turn the
concentrated military strength of the nation
against French interference in Mexico, and to
inaugurate a movement which would have been
received with favor by the military and a large
portion of the people.
It is proper, in thia connection, that I shonld
refer to the almost unlimited additional powers
tendered to the Executive by the measures rela
ting to civil rights and the freedmen’s bureau.
pie, and tending to aggravate rather than lessen
the discords naturally resulting from our civil
war. With a large army and augmented authori
ty it would have been no difficult task to direct
at pleasure the destinies of the republic, and to
make secure my continuance in the highest'office
known to our laws.
Let ihe people whom I am addressing from
the presidential chair, coring the closing hours
of a laborious term, consider how different
would have been their present condition had I
yielded to the dazzling temptation of foreign
conquest, of personal aggrandizement, the
desire to wield additional power. Let them,
with justice, consider that if I have not unduly
“magnifiedmine office," the public burdens have
not been increased by my acts, and other, and
perhaps thousands, or tens of thousands, of
lives sacrificed to visions of false glory. It can
not, therefore, be charged that my ambition has
been of that ordinary or criminal kind which, to
the detriment of the people's rights and liber
ties, seeks to grasp more and unwarranted pow
ers, and to accomplish its purposes panders too
often to popular prejudices and party aims.
What, then, have been the aspirations which
have guided me in my official acts? These acts
need not at this time an elaborate explanation.
They have been elewhere comprehensively sta
ted and fully discussed, and become a part of the
nation’s history. By them I am willing to be
judged, knowing that, however imperfect, they
at least show the impartial mind that my sole
ambition has been to restore the Union of States,
faithfully to execute the office of President, and
to the best of my ability to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution.
I cannot be censored if my efforts have been
impeded in the interests of party faction, and if
a policy which was intended to reassure and
conciliate the people of both sections of the
country, was made the occasion of inflaming and
dividing still farther, those who only recently in
aims against each other, yet as individuals and
citizens were sincerely desirous, as I shall ever
believe, of burying all hostile feelings in the
grave of the past
The bitter war was waged on the part of the
Government to vindicate the Constitution and
save the Union ; and if I have
to bring about a more speedy and
to extinguish heart-burnings and and
to prevent troubles on the 8outh, vracn, re
tarding material prosperity in that region, ire
juriously affected the whole country, I am quite
content to rest my case with the more deliber
ate judgment of the people, and, os I have al
ready intimated, with the distant future.
The war, all most remember, was a stupen
dous and deplorable mistake. Neither side un
derstood the other; and hod this simple faet and
id Mknoni been kept in view, all that was
accomplished by the acknowledg-
terrible wrong, and the expressed
betflOTeeling and earnest endeavors at atone
ment shown and felt in the prompt ratification
of the constitutional amendments by the South
ern States at the close of the war. Not accept
ing the war as a confessed false step on the part
of those who inaugurated it was on error which
now only time can edre, and which, even at this
late date, we shonld endeavor to palliate.
Experiencing, moreover, as all have done, the
frightful cost of the arbitrament of the sword,
let ns in the future cling closer than ever to the
Constitution as our only safeguard. It is to be
hoped that no^mtil the burdens now pressing
upon ns with such fearful weight are removed,
will our people forget the lessons of the war,
and that remembering them from whatever
cause, peace between sections and States may
be perpetuated.
The history of late evqpts in our country, as
well as of the greatest governments of ancient
and modem times, teaches that we have every
thing to fear from a departure from the letter
and spirit of the Constitution, and the undue as
cendency of men allowed to assume power in
what are considered desperate emergencies.—
Scylla, on becoming master of Romo, at once
adopted measures to crash his enemies; and to
consolidate the power of his party, he establish
ed military colonies thronghont Italy, deprived
of the foil Roman franchise the inhabitants of
the Italian towns who had opposed his usurpa
tions, confiscated their lands and gave them to
his soldiers, and conferred citizenship on a great
number of slaves belonging to those who had
proscribed him, thus creating at Rome a kind
of body-guard for his protection. After having
given Rome over to slaughter and tyrannies be
yond all example over those opposed to him and
the legions, his terrible instrument of wrong,
Scylla could yet feel safe in laying down the in-
signs of power bo dreadfully abused, and in
mingling freely with the families and forms of
his mynad victims.
The fear which ho had inspired continued af
ter his voluntary abdication, and even in retire
ment his will was law to a people who had per
mitted themselves to be enslaved. IVhat but a
subtle knowledge and conviction that the Ro
man people had become changed, discouraged
and broken in spirit conld have induced this
daring assumption ? What bnt public indiffer
ence to consequences so terrible as to leave
Rome open to every calamity which subse
quently befell her could have justified the con
clusions of the dictator and tyrant in his start
ling experiment ? We find that in the time
which has since elapsed human natures and
exigencies in governments have not greatly
changed. Who, a few years past, in contem
plating our future, conld have supposed that in
a brief period of bitter experience everything
demanded in the name of military emergency,
or dictated by caprice, would come to be consid
ered as a mere matter of course ? That con
scription, confiscation, loss of personal liberty,
the subjection of States to military rule and dis
franchisement, with the extension of the right
of suffrage merely to accomplish personal ends,
would receive the passive submission, if not ac
quiescence of the people of the republic? It
has been clearly demonstrated by recent occur
rences that encroachmentsup on the Constitu
tion cannot be prevented by the President alone,
however devoted or determined he may be, and
that unless the people interpose there is no
power under the Constitution to check a
dominant majority of two-thirds in the Congress
of the United States.
An appeal to the nation, however, is attended
with too much delay to meet an emergency.
While, if left free to act, the people would cor
rect, in time, each evils as might follow legisla
tive usurpation, there is danger that the same
power which disregards the Constitution will
deprive them of the right to change their rulers,
except by revolution. We have already seen
the jurisdiction of the judiciary circumscribed
when it was apprehended that the courts would
decide against laws having for their sole object
the supremacy of party, while the veto power
lodged in the Executive by the Constitution for
the interests and protection of the people, and
exercised by Washington and his successors has
been rendered nugatory by a partisan majority
of two-thirds in each branch of the national Leg
islature.
The Constitution evidently contemplates that
when a bill is returned with the President's ob
jections it will be calmly reconsidered by Con
gress. Such, however, has not been the practice
under present party rule. It has become evi
dent that men who pass a bill nnder' partisan
influence are not likely, through patriotic'mo
tives, to admit their error and thereby weaken
their own organization by confessing it under
unofficial oath. Pride of opinion, u nothing
else, has intervened and prevented a calm ana
dispassionate reconsideration of a bill disap-
; proved by the Executive. Mach as I venerate
i he Constitution, it most be admitted that this
condition of affairs has developed a defect which,
nnder the aggressive tendency of the legislative
department of the government, may readily
work its overthrow, Iimay, however, be reme
died withont disturbing the harmony of the in
strument. The veto power is generally exer
cised upon constitutional grounds; and when
ever it is applied, and the bill returned with the
Executive’s reasons for withholding his signa
ture, it ought to be immediately certified to the
Supreme Court of the United States for its de
cision.
If its constitutionality iftiatl be declared by that
tribunal, it shonld then become a law, bnt if the
decision is otherwise, it shonld fall, without
lower in Confess to re.-enact or make it valid,
in cases in which thereto rests upon hastily and
inconsiderate legislation, and in which no con
stitutional question is involved, I would not
change the fundamental law, for in such cases
no permanent evil can be incorporated into ihe
federal system. It is obvious that withont such
an amendment, the Government, as it existed
under the Constitution prior to the rebellion,
may be totally subverted and overthrown by a
two-thirds majority in Congress. It is not.
therefore, diffiult to see how easily and how ra-
lidly the people may lose, shall I not say have
ost, their liberties by an unchecked and un
controllable majority in the law-making power,
and when once deprived of their rights how
powerless they are to regain them.
Let us turn for a moment to the history of the
majority in Congress which has acted in snch
utter disregard of the Constitution. While pub-
lio attention has been carefully and constantly
South, the servants of the people in high places
have boldly betrayed their trusty, broken their
oaths of obedience to tho Constitution, and un
derminded the very foundations of liberty, jus
tice and good government.
When the rebellion was being suppressed by nrer
the volunteer services of patriotic soldiers,
amid the dangers of the battle-field, these men
crept, withont question, into place and power in
the national councils. After all danger had
passed, when no armed foe remained, when a
famished and repentant people bowed their
heads to the flag and renewed their allegiance
to the government of the United States, then it
was that pretended patriots appeared before
the nation and began to prate abont the thou
sands of lives and millions of treasure sacrificed
in the suppression of the rebellion.
They have since persistently sought to influ
ence the prejudices engendered between the sec
tions to retard the restoration of peace and har
mony, and by every, means to keep open and ex
posed to the poisonous breath of party passion
the terrible wounds of a four-years’ war. They
have prevented the return of peace and the res
toration of the Union, in every way rendered de
lusive the purposes, promises and pledges by
which the army was marshalled, treason rebuked
and rebellion crushed, and made the liberties of
the people and the rights and powers of the Pres
ident object of common attack. They have
wrested from the President his constitutional
power of supreme command of the army and
navy; they have destroyed the strength and effi
ciency of the Executive department by making
subordinate officers independent of and able to
defy their chief; they ljave attempted to place
the President nnder the power of a bold, defi
ant and treacherous Cabinet officer ; they have
robbed tlje executive of the power of pardon ;
rendered null and void acts of clemency granted
to thousands of persons nnder the provision of
the Constitution, and committed gross usurpa
tion by legislative attempts to exercise this
power in favor of party adherents. They have
conspired to change the system of our govern
ment by prefering charges against the President,
in the form of articles of impeachment, and con
templating before hearing or trial that he should
be placed in arrest, held m durance and when it
became their pleasure to pronounce his sentenoo
driven from place and power in disgrace. They
have in time of peace increased the national debt
by a^reckless expenditure of the public money, and
thus added to the burden which already weigh?
upon the people; they have permitted the nation
to suffer the evils of a deranged currency, to
the enhancement in price of all the necessaries
of life; they have maintained a large standing
army for the enforcement of their measures of
oppression ; they have engaged in class legisla
tion, and built up and encouraged monopolies
that the few might be enriched at the expense of
many; they have failed to act upon important
treaties, thereby endangering oar peaceful re
lations with foreign powers.
The coarse of usurpations has not been limit
ed to inroads upon the Executive Department.
By unconstitutional and oppressive enactments
the people of ten States of the Union have been
reduced to a condition more intolerable than
that from which the patriots of the Revolution
rebelled.
Millions of American citizens can now say of
their oppressors with more truth than their
fathers did of British tyrants, that they hove
forbidden the State governments to pass laws of
immediate and pressing importance unless sus
pended until their assent should be obtained.
That they have refused to pass other laws for
the accommodation of large districts of people
unless these people would relinquish their right
of representation in the Legislature, a right in
estimable to them and formidable to tyrants
only. That they have made judges dependent
on their will alone for the tenure of offices and
the amount and payment of claims.
This catalogue of crimes, long as it is, is not
complete. The Constitution vests judicial pow
er in one Supreme Court, whose jurisdiction
shall extend to all cases arising nnder the Con
stitution and laws of the United States. En
couraged by this promise, a refugee from tyran
ny and a citizen of the United States, also by
the order of a military oommander. given nnder
the sanction of a cruel and deliberate edict bf
Congress, had been denied the constitutional
rights of liberty of conscience; freedom of the
press and of speech: personal freedom from
military arrest; of being held to answer for
crime only upon presentment of on indictment
of trial by jury; of tho writ of habeas corpus,
and the protection of a civil and Constitutional
Government. A citizen thus deeply wronged,
appeals to the Supreme Court for the protection
guaranteed by the organio law of the land. At
once a fierce and excited majority, by tho rath-
less hand of legislative power, stripped tho cr-
mino from the Judges, transferred the sword of
justice to the General, and remanded the op
pressed citizen to a degradation and bondage
worse than death.
Upon those who became young men amid the
sound of cannon and the dm of arms, and who
quietly returned to the farms, the factories, and
the schools of the land will principally devolve
thojsolomu|duty of perpetuating the Union of th9
States, in defence of which hundreds of thons-
ands of their comrades expired, and hundreds
of millions of national obligations were, incur
red. A manly people will not neglect the train
ing necessary to resist oppression; bnt they
should bo jealous lest the civil be made subor
dinate to the military clement.
The generation just beginning to use the bal
lot, it is believed, only needed that there atten
tion shonld be called to these considerations to
indicate by their votes that they wish the repre
sentatives to observe all the restraints which
the people, in adopting the Constitution, intend
ed to impose on them.
Calmly reviewing my administration of the
Government, I feel tiuit, with a sense of ac
countability to God, having conscientiously en
deavored to discharge my whole duty, I have
nothing to regret Events have proved the cor
rectness of the policy set forth in my first and
subsequent messages. The woes which have
followed the rejection of forbearance, magna
nimity and constitutional rule are known and
deplored by the nation.
IUis a matter of pride and gratification in re
tiring from the most exalted position in the gift
of the people, to feel that in a long, arduous and
eventful public life, my action has never been
influenced by a desire for gain, and that I can
in all sincerity inquire, whom have I defrauded ?
Whom have I oppressed ? or at whose hand have
I received any bribe to blind my eye there
with ?
No responsibility for wars that have been
waged or blood that has been shed rests upon
me. My thoughts have been those of peace,
and my efforts have ever been to allay conten

On the conclusion of the oe re monies in the

Mr. Johnson did not appear in the procession,
bnt was present in the Vice President's room in
the Senate chamber.
So great was the crowd in the Senate cham

family were nnable to reach the platform so as
to witness the ceremonies.
The presiding officer having announced that
all was ready for the inauguration of the Vice-
President, eleot, Mr. Colfax advanced up the
steps of the rostrum, and facing tho presiding
officer took the usual oath of office, which the
latter administered. Turning to the Senate Mr.
Colfax delivered his address which was listenied
to with the deepest attention, and which was dis
tinctly audible to all. At its conclusion the Sen
ators elect, came forward as their names were
called and took the Senatorial oath of office,
which was adminisiered by tho newly elected
Vice-President Two of the Senators elect—
Hamilton, of Maryland, andBrownlow. of Ten-
nessec—were not present. The organization of
the new Senate having been completed it was
announced that the Senate, Supreme Court and
invited spectators would proceed to the east por
tico of the Capitol to participate in the ceremo
ny of the inauguration of the President elect
A procession was accordingly formed of the
late occupants of the floor of the Senate, which
proceeded through the corridors and rotunda to
the place indicated for them. On reaching the
platform the party took the seats assigned for
them.
The grounds opposite and the streets adjoin
ing were packed with human beings.
President Grant and Vice President Colfax,
accompanied by Senator Cragin, ex-Senator
Cresswell, A- T. Stewart, of New York, and sev
eral membeis of Grant’s staff, regained their
carriages and proceeded to the White House
where they were received at the door by Gen
eral Schofield and General Mychler, the Com
missioner of Pablio Buildings.
Arrangements had been made for a general
reception, bnt President Grant countermanded
the order, and the doors of the White House
were closed on entering the mansion. The dis
tinguished party entered the room heretofore
occupied by Mr. Johnson as an office. Presi
dent Grant suggested cigars, and a quiet smoke
was enjoyed. Mr. Johnson did not appear in
the procession, nor was he present at any part
of the inauguration ceremonies. President
Grant received a telegram of congratulation
from Bismarck.
The inauguration ball to-night at this honr,
(10 v. it.,) is in full blast. Tho excessively
crowded state of tho hall completely mars tho
pleasure of the dancers. Not less than 6,000
people are in attendance. It is estimated that
over 20,000 people will leave the city during the
night, so that ere Sunday comparative quiet will
again be restored. President Grant’s inaugu
ral address receives general approbation. John
son’s valedictory is much admired by his friends,
who are loud in their expressions of praise of the
man whom they say oould not be bamboozled
ont of his senses by a Republican Congress.
They predict that before the coming of another
inauguration Johnson will stand before the peo
ple vindicated in all the acts of his administra
tion. Tho developments of the morrow ore
awaited with tho most absorbing interest and
anxiety. Mr. Grant’s Cabinet mil be taken as
the sequel of his inaugural address.
In the organization of the House to-day, much
turmoil and disorder existed, and a bitter .dis
cussion on contested seats was indulged in. Mr.
Stokes, of Tennessee, called Mr. Brooks, of
New York, a mean rebel, and Mr. Brooks re
torted by calling Mr. Stokes a blackguard.

THE INAUGURATION.
From the specials to the Nashville Banner and
other prints, we collate the following account of
the inauguration ceremonies:
Washington, March 4—11 a. k.
The procession has just started from General
Grant’s headquarters. The General appeared
on the portico and entered a carriage, in which
was seated Gen. Rawlins. Vice President Col
fax followed and entered the next carriage, then
came General Grant's staff.
The procession, which extended a mile in
length, was headed by a regiment of cavalry
nnder command of CoL Wallack.
The rain has ceased, and the prospects are
good that the remainder of the day will be fair.
When the procession reached the Capitol, the
scene presented was most magnificent to behold.
The long line of military and other organiza
tions extended as far as the eye conld see.
The White House, Treasury buildings, and
eveiy available point of elevation on the house
tops and in the trees were loaded down with hu
man beings. Not less than 75.000 people were
on Pennsylvania Avenue. Flags and national
emblems of all devices were to be seen on all
sides, the buildings being completely festooned.
When the carriages containing the President
and Vice-President arrived in front of the Capi
tol, they were received amid the deafening
cheers of the assembled multitude and escorted
to the Senate Chamber.
The scene here was brilliant in the extreme.
The entire mass of people from pit to dome of
the Capitol rose to their feet as Grant and Col
fax entered the Chamber.
The doors of the Senate chamber were opened
at 11 o’clock a. jl for the admission of Senators
and others who, by the arrangement of the com
mittee, were entitled to admission, as follows:
Ex-Presidents and Vice Presidents. -
The Chief Justice and Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court.
The Diplomatic Corps, Heads of Departments,
Ex-members of either branch of Congress, and
membeiB of Congress elect.
Officers of the army and navy who, by name,
have received the thanks of Congress.
Governors of States and Territories of the
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Vico President Colfax reached the head-quar-
ters shortly after 10 o’clock, and went immedi
ately to Gen. Grant’s office, and after a cordial
greeting with the President elect and members
of his staff, entered into conversation with the
gentlemen present on ordinary topics.
In the meantime, troops and military organi-
Tzations began forming, and the crowds of spec
tators upon (he streets grew more dense.
At precisely 11 o’clock the Marshal entered
headquarters. The troops were everywhere
stationed at proper posts.
General Grant was as calm and collected as
ever in his life. He came from his office and
entered his phston, accompanied by Generali
Rawlins. Vice-President elect Colfax came
next and entered the next carriage, accompa
nied by Admiral Bailey, of the Navy, one of the
Committee. Membeis of the staff of the Gen
eral next entered carriages with committees of
Congress, and of d ifferent organizations pres
ent. As the procession started, the band struck
up “Hail* to the Chief." Regular and other
troops were drawn np along the square, and
came to a “present arms” as the carriage con
taining the President elect, with his head trn.
covered, drove slowly along, while immense
cheers rent the air on every side.
There were eight general divisions in line,the
first under CoL Wallace and composed of regu
lars, escorting tho President and Vice-President
elect! The second division was composed of
volunteers, including two colored organizations.
The third division was composed of prominent
civil officers of the Government, foreign Mini*.
ters, Grant and Colfax Electors, officers of army,
navy and marine corps, corporate authorities of
this city and Georgetown. The fourth division
was composed of Republican political organ
tions of tiie this place and elsewhere. The fifth
of the Sailors and Soldiers’ Union and Grant
and Colfax Clubs. The other divisions were
composed of the United States Fire Department
and its visitors and the City of Washington Fire
Department and its visitors.
Among the prominent objects of attraction
was a miniature ship fully rigged and manned,
and a printing press in operation. The head of
the parade having reached the capitol, the
President elect entered to take the oath and de
liver his inaugural address. The throng of hu
man beings in front exceeded anything of the
kind ever befqre witnessed 'here. The proeesr
sion was about one honr in passing a given
point.
The Diplomats entered the Senate Chamber
in a body and attracted immediate attention by
the spendor of their uniforms and dignified
beaming. All the legations were represented
and the ministers of the principle foreign na
tions were all present, except Baron Gerolt, of
Prursia, whojwas detained at home by sickness.
Among those present who were particularly no
ticed was Edward Shelton, Minister from Great
Britian, W. Bertherg, tho French Minister,
Chivalier Cerati, Minister from Italy, and Blac-
qne Bey, the Turkish Embassador who sat in
no front line.
Behind the Ministers and Charge d’AffairB
were ranged a large number of Secretaries and
attaches of the various legations, who, also in
many instances, were gorgeously attired.
Soon afterwards a buzz of excitement called at
tention to the appearance at the side door of the
President and Vice-President elect, who entered
arm in arm respectively, with Senators Cragin
and McCreary, the committee appointed to es
cort them to the chamber. Almost at the same
moment, aqd before they had qoticed the open
spaoe in Jfrout of the ohair, the door at the
main entrance was thrown open and the Justices
of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice
Chase, and clad in his robes of office, entered
the Senate Chamber and walked in procession
down the center allies and took seats prepared
for them in front of the rostrum.
General Grant had, in the meantime, been
conducted to a chair immediately in front of the
Clerk’s desk, and sat there facing the audience
whose gaze he seemed neither to a void or realize’
but exhibited his usual self-possession and un
assuming demeanor. A seat to the left of that
repared for General Grant was in readiness for
’resident Johnson, bnt was not occupied, nor
was the latter in the Capitol this morning but
was engaged signing bills as they were bro’ught
to him at the White House.
