Woman consoles ns, it is true, while we are young and handsome, or when we are old and ugly, woman snubbs and scold* us. On the whole then, woman in this scale, the weed in that, Jupiter hang out thy balance and weigh them both, and if those give the preference to woman, all I can say is, the next time Juno ruf fes thee—o !

For ourself we are dacideily in favor of the woman, now, hereafter, henceforth, and forever.

We do not doubt but what ihe merchants of that city as well as else where have been very much imposed upon by men from all sections, who have obtain ed goods under false representations, at the same time we do not think they should pre fer such grave chaiges against any one, until they become perfectly satisfied that R'-.eh parlies are really attempting lo swin* •rie, and that it is not. from pecuniary em barrassments, that the payment of the deft is delayed. The President's Inaugural. We lay before our renders this remarka ble production, for their own interpretation. It is Grant unadorned all over. Brief and non-committal, on all the great questions that now agitate ihe public mind. IT* 1 fn vors however, a speedy, peacable adjust ment of them all, and the restoration of the whole Union to its former quietude and piosperity. The only particular'points ,in his address, are those in-which he alludes to the Bond question, and the 15th amend ment to the Constitution. He is strongly opposed to repudiation of coarse, this is as every one expected He favors the adop tion of the 15th amendment by the different States upon the ground, that unless the question of suffrage is settled in that way, it will be a subject of constant agita tion. The President informs Congress that he will use his veto powers, to defeat all legislation he is opposed to. We are afraid with all the Presidents influence, that if he attempts to pursue an honest course, (and we have no doubt but what he will) he will find that his vetoes like Mr. John son’s, will not amount to much. The policy the President proposes in regard to the Indians we like; this unfortunate race has been driven from one quarter to auuther, ever since the foot of tha white man was planted upon American soil, and if the President can do anything to christianize and citizmize them, he ought to receive the thanks of the whole people. The President says very little in regard to the unreconstructed Stares. It is to be hoped, the Georgia question will be dropped and that Congress will no longer lisien to the crazy bowlings of the disappointed fan atical office seekers who are crying out for more reconstruction. The address as a whole will be looked upon favorably throughout the South, as it shows conclu sively that Gen. Grant is not tied to the extreme families. TfiLEGAEPHIC NEWS! ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. IX.IUOUK.4L A DDK CSS OF President Grant, Washington, March 4. —General Ulysses Grant was inaugurated President of the United States, for the term of four \e»rs, at noon to-day, The following is his ADDRESS. Gen. Grant said : “Your suffrages having elected me to the office o President of the United States, I have, in confirmation with the constitution of our country, taken the oath prescribed therein. I have taken this oath without mental reservation, and with the determination to do, to the best of m\ ability, all that it requires of me. The re sponsibilities of the position I feel, but ac cept. them without fear. The office has come to me unsought; I commence its du ties untrammelled; 1 bring to it a consci entious desire and determination to fill it to the best of my ability and to the satisfac tion of the people. On all leading ques tions agitating the public mind, 1 wilt al ways express my views to Congress and urge them according to my judgment; and when I think it advisable, will exeicise the constitutional privilege of int«*posing a veto to defeat measures which I oppose. But all laws will be faithfully executed, whether they meet my approval or not I shall on this subject, have a policy to re commend, but none to enforce against the will of the people. Laws are to govern ali— those opposed to as well as those who fa vor them. 1 kuow no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution. ‘■The country having just emerged from a great rebellion, many questions will come before it for settlement iu the next four years which preceding administrations have never had to deal with. In meeting these, it is desirable that they should be approach ed calmly, without prejudice, hate or sec* tional pride, and remembering that the greatest good to the greatest number js the object to be attained. This requires secu rity of person and property, and for reli gious and political opinion in every part of our common country without regard to local prejudice. AH laws to secure these ends will receive my best efforts for their enforcement. ‘A great debt has been contracted in se curing to us and our proslerity the Union The payment of this, pricipa! and imerest at well as' the return tt a specie basis, as soou as it can be accomplished with out inerterial detriment to the debtor class or to the country at large, must be provided for. To protect the national honor every dollar-of goverment indebtness should be paid in gold, unless otherwsse expressly stipulated in the contract. Let it be under stood that no repudiator of oue farthing of our putdie debt will be trusted in public place, and it will go far towards strenthen iug a credit which ought to be the best in the world, and will ultimately enable us to replace the debt with bonds bearing less interest than we now pay. To this should be added a faithful collection of revenue, a *tict Accountability to the Treasury for eve! - dollar collected, and the gre test prac tical' retrenchment in expenditure in every department of the govennent. When we compare the paying capacity of the country nuw, with ten States still in poverty from the <'flvets of the war, but soon lo emerge I trust, into greater prosperity than ever before with ns paying capacity twenty five years Hg°, and calculate what it probably will be t weniy-five years hence, who can doubt the feasibility of paying every dol lar then with more ease than we now pay for useless luxuries. Why, it looks as though providence had bestowed upon us a strong box in the precious metals locked up in the sterile mountains of the far West which we are now forging the key to nn -1 k to meet the very contingency that i« now upon us. •Ultimately it nftavbe necefe s.iry to increase the facilities to ’ ~j riches; and it may be necess the general govennent < to secure this success, butifl be when a dollar of cures precisely the now, and not before. “VVliiist the quest is in abeyances careful about** the distant ful ihe sar&i rule.' be rebuilt, ans The young ms from their agey* years maintaining the itanK tefh'Ct ion as to whaflK ing influence among tl in their day, if they selves, should inspire pride. All divisions, geogiap!WC»s cal and religious, can join in the i sentiment. ‘‘How the public debt is to be [vHgj specie payments resumed, is not so i rJmL - taut as that a flan should he adopt acquiesced in. A united deterrninaticßßf do, worth move than divided counsels upon, the method of doing. Legis'ation upon thifl subject may not be necessary now, nor eveqj advisable, but it wil be when the civil laws is more fully restored in all parts of the conntry, and trade resumes its wanted chan nels. % • “It will be mv execute all laws in good faith, to all revenues assessed, ahd to have them properly accoun ted for and economically disbursed. I will, to the best of my ability, appoint to office those only who will carry out this design “In regard to foreign policy, I would deal with nations as equitable law requires in dividuals to deal with each other, and I would protect the law-abiding citizens whether of native or of foreign birth, where* ever his rights are jeopardized or the flag of our country floats, i would respect the rights of all nations, demanding equal re spect for our own. If others depart from this rule, we may be compelled to follotV their precedent. “The proper treatment of the original oc cupants of this land—the Indians—is one deserving of careful study. I will favor any course toward them which tends to their civilization, Ohristianizaiiou aud ulti mate citizenship. “The question of suffrage*is one which is likely to agitate the public, so long as a portion of the citizens of the nation gave excluded from its privileges in any State* It suems to me very desirable that this question should he settled now, aud I enter tain the hope, and express the desire, that it may be by the ratification of the fif'teeeih article of amendment to the Constitution. “In conclusion, I ask patient forbearence one toward another, throughout tbe land and a determined effort on the ptut of ev ery citizen to do his share towards cement, ing a happy union. And I ask the prayers •of (he nation to Almighty God in behalf of this consumuiioij.” From Washington. Washington, March s. —The follwoing is General Giant’s Cabinet: Secretary of State—Elisliu B.
