From the following paragraph,
the Washington Chrouiele does
not believe in slanderous journal
ism:
“The Cuthbert Liberal is evident
iy no friend of Hon, Pat Walsh of
Augusta. In speaking f his prob
able cadidacv for governor it abus
es him roundly as a ‘semi-republi
can and bull-doz:ng politician,’ and
says ‘he is looked upon by those
who know him as a fair specimen
of genus political bully or ward
politician.’ The Chronicle d’ffe.s
widely from Mr. Wals'i as to men
and measures, but at the same
time will not abuse a man because
he differs from the views advocated
in this paper and entertained by
the large majority of democrats.
We believe Mr. Walsh is on the
wrong side of the tariff question,
and he is equally convinced that
we are wrong Be that as it may,
let him be semi or whole republi
can, semi or whole democrat, he
as a man and citizen, is entitled to
his honest views. The best way
to elect any man is to abuse him.
When tho fight is ‘made for gover
nor, lei it b@ made squarely and fair
ly, without mud slinging and with
out vituperation.”

[From the Journal's Correspondent J
Washington, March 4,1839.
The arowd that spent yesterday in
Washington was as thoroughly dis
gusted and discouraged a lot as ev
@r one met. The rain that began on
Stturday lasted all day. Amuse
ment was hard to find, except
for the class of people who like to
abend variety theatres on Sunday.
In the afternoon the Cowboy Band
gave an alleged musical entertain
ment, and it night humorists BTI
Nye and James Whitcomb Kiley
' occupied the theatre. At the lead
ing Vaudeville theatre, two “sa
cred concerts,” consisting of the
usual vulgar programs, were given
1 and at midnight anolher began
; The saloons did a thriving business
and not even a decent pretence of
j
closing was made. The police court
had its hands full—holding extra
sessions. Thieves were arrested
by th© dozen. Troops kept crowd
ing in up to Sunday at midnight,
ami the brive rausie of brass came
through the sodden drizzle. The ho
tel lobbies were packed with people
who were putting up in cots ia the
halls, who could not find any place to
visit, find ct course, had no room in
which to stay. The hotel prices went
up as the spirits of the crowd waai
down. A hotel that charges on© dol
lar for lodging, jumped to thru* and
four lor a cot. The crowd was only
to be exp(C‘ed once in every four years
and every possible effort must ba mado
to reap a harvest. People that storm
| ed and threatened never to come again
were politely waived aside. The cowd
trout nearby cities, Now York, P; ila
delphia and Baltimore, has been mate
daily decreased ly th# bad weather,
although the throogs arriving jester
day and last night would not show it.
The Pinusyhania troops w;m am ng
the largest arrival, tho regiments of
the keystone state contributing an ev
eri larger pr< portion of this inangoial
succession than it did of cither of ti
last two presidents, it was redly tie
only large body ot troips in the prr•
cession aud the regular army unihrßi
yan'ed only by the keystone emblem
on the hat, was a tamiliar and wel
come sight.
Pres. Cleveland vras refused to all
callers on Sunday, as aho was Mrs
Cleveland. Arond the Arlington
hotel (Pres. Ilarrisou’s quarter,) every
thing appeared quiet and the police
men claimed te have called at least as
armed truce to battle. The politicians
in the main body of the Arlington
ware as lively as ever, and working
with the desperate energy ot saan with
only a few horns left to do battle. Of
course just what they wish, or expect,
or will get, is not known. Only five
tabinet positions appear to be definite
ly settled even to-night, and the auth
orities differ as to exactly what the
five selections are.
In accordance with the usual cus
tom the presidential escort, under
0.-mmaßd of .Beaver, was formed
above 17til street, on Pennsylvania av
entie, where it remained until nearly
10 30, when the precession moved.
The escort consisted ot regular army
infantry aed batullioas of sailors and
marines, together with the and strict
national guards, aud 150 members of
Harrison’s old regiment, the 70th In
diana Infantry.
Pres. Cleveland was in his carriage
prompilv, and the proeesssiori moved
down ibe avenue to Wiliard’a hotel,
where Harrison was to be met. When
lire latter entered the carriage a oncer
caine rom the neighboriag yiewiag
stand and was echoed a*ain and again
far down the avenue. The view at this
iime from she treasury, though the
o owd was not so great as during the
procession proper, was bewildering.
From the treasury there stretched for
a clear mile away a wide asphalt
t.ack devoid of vehicles, and separated
from the sidewalk by wire cables,
vhick the crowd threatened to break
by pressure at times. Looking down
Uj on this vista, long lines ©t gaily dec
mated buildings charm the eye with
tire national colors, none the worse at
this distance for yesterday’s pelting
ruin Fiotn the windows thousands or
ex eetant faces are looking. Bdow,
itie crowds, despite the efforts of the
polios, become stationary and refuse to
e moved. Amid all the hobbub ot
confused noises tho vaieas of a thou
sand fakirs rise in hardly seductive in*
dueements to bay tbeir wares.
these are filially drowned by the pres
sure of the crowd aud one nuisanoe is
momeutarially abated.
On the east portico of the Capitol
the great speaking stand had been
creetcd. On the right of Harrison and
Cleveland was seated Chief Justice
Fuller, on the left the eergaant-at arms
of the senate. Orficials and distin
gtiibhed visitors occupied the rest of
the platform. After prayer Mr. Har
risoa stepped forward and delivered
his inaugural address. Only about one
half ot the crowd heard this, but the
remainder waited patiently. Far out
over the piaza the crowd Bttetched sol
idly, as it packed hv machinery. A
woman, faint with long standing
swoons, aad can not be carried out.
Harrison is sworn, inaugurated presi
dent, and knees the tanaily bibla he
knew whan a boy, cheer* ge up and
are thrown back by 23,000,000 voices.
Thus is anew president inaugurated.
