Those who witnessed it, say it was no larger than the crowd four years ago that greeted Cleveland. Last Monday was an exciting day—not only in inaugurating tile president, but a heavy wind storm prevailed, accompanied by heavy rain-fall. A few days ago a smutty colored Leuse cat rode on the pilot of the Georgia Midland locomotive from Columbus to Griffin and lelt on the pilot of the down .rain t*> visit its friends in Macon.

Monroe, March s.—Last night at }ho house of Mr. John N. Dickin son, six milea from Monroe, E. J. Tillman committed suicide by shooting himself through tho brain v. jth a pistol. Two or three years tgo ho married Mr. Dickinson’s daughter and opened a bar-room. He began to drink vory hard and kept it up until about Christmas, when his wife was forced to leave him on account of cruel treatment. Last night he wont te the home of her parents to try and indue# her to go back to him, and on her refusal he went to the yard gate aud killed himself. 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.” H’a>hinlou I.ei [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.
