WASHINGTON , D. 0. , March 4. 7
a , m , It commenced raining early
last evening to the intense disgust of
the inauguration committee , the mili
tary and civic organizations who bad
intended to take part in the parade ,
and the thousands of visitors who
for the pastfonrdayshavebeenswarm- |
ing Into the city , and filling hotels ,
boarding houses and garrets to over *
Sowing. At nine o'clock the rain had
turned into a hurricane of sleet ,
which made tbe streets Impassible
and drore to the nearest shelter the
swarms of visitors which the special
trains , despile vho snow , were pour
ing into the city. The lobbies and
corriders of the [ hotels were crowded
with a motley mass of drenched and
disgusted people , and the
benches and even the floors
of the depots were filled
with passengers brought In by the
evening trains who preferred remainIng -
Ing over night without rest , to seek
ing accommodations in the face of the
blinding storm.
As the storm increased in fury the
. work of the decorating committees
began to disappear under the violonci
of tbe wind. Pennsylvania avenu
which yesterday bore a holiday appear
ance soon became a scene of desolation
The long streamers of bunting were
torn into shreds from the frout of th
houses and public buildings. Th
magnificent arches over the street fo
one by one into the middle of th
streets ; stands erected for the acsom
modatlon of the visitors and from
which the proprietors had hopd t
roach a handsome probt were
mercilessly demoliched by th
elements , while every adornment and
decoration upon which so much tim
And money bad been expended was
covered with mass of slush and sleo
or torn from their fastenings and
hurled into the streets below.
The avenues were a deserted sp
pewanco. The streets soon became
impassable , as a heavy fall of we
snow and a drizzling rain , which Jrczi
in its descent , succeeded the sleet o
the previous hours. The telegraph
wires one by ona went down , and at
three o'clock all the roads into the
capital wore completely blockaded and
communication with the outside world
entirely shut off. Everyone united in
pronouncing the storm the worst which
had ever visited the city within the
memory of the eldest inhabitants.

The weather this morning was bad ,
with rain and win ! and the seats outside

people crowdedthewindows as the wind
was blowing twenty miles an hour.
Towards noon the weather moderated

awnings packing the route.

dressed carefully , and at 8:30 a. m. ho
was joined by his two sous and daugh
ter. At 9:30 Garfield and his family
were escorted by the committee from
his hotel to the White honse , and
there joined by Mrs. Hayes and Gar-
field's mother. The president-elect
wore a black Prince Albert coat , black
pants , brown overcoat and silk hat.

At 10:35 : they moved from the White

THE SIGNAL GUN WAS FIRED ,
and the procession then moved to the
White House park through the avenue
into 15th stn-ot and into the avenue
again. Every inch of ground was
packed , great enthusiasm prevailed
and flags waved from every building.
The president and president-elect kept
bowing acknowledgments all along
thejroute. The police arrangements
prevented a blockade but there was no
spare room along iho whole road.
As the capitol was approached the
scene became an ovation. The bril
liant uniforms , the holiday clothes of
the people , the house decorations , the
music and the applause made a eceno
never to be forgotten. People fol
lowed In behind the procession and
its route , and there was a perfect jam
around the capitol. At 11:30 : the

THE INAUGUBALi ADDRESS. tr

FELLOW CITIZENS : "We a'and to- beef
ly upon an eminence tthich over * of
oks a hundred years of national life ce
a country crowded with perils , but cebe
owned with triumphs of liberty and fnm
ve. Before continuing our onward m
arch , let us pause on this height for ifmi
moment to strengthen our faith and mi
new our hope , by a glance at the re
ithway along which our people have irde
avelod. It is now three days more denc
.an a hundred years since the adop- nc
an of tbe first written constitution so
the United States , the articles of It
infederation and of perpetual nuiou. tic

DASOER ON EVERY HAND , th
id had not conquered a place in the tia
roily of nations. The decisive battle orun
the war for independence , whose unm
ntennial anniversary will be grate- m >
lly celebrated at Yorktown , had cot pn
lenfought. The colonists were strng- In
ing not only against the armfes of ne
real Britain but against the settled lot
ilnlons of mankind , for the world pit
d not believe that the supreme au- pa
ority of government could be safely en
itrusted to tbe guardianship of the rei
ople themselves. We cannot over- tto
timata the fervent love of liberty , pa !
e intelligent courage and saving foa
mmon sense with which our fathers KB
ade the great experiment of selfov - KBBi
nment. When they found , In a !
ort time that the confederacy of cai
states was too weak to meet the neces
sities of a vigorous and expanding re
public they boldly set it aside and in
its stead established
A NATIONAL T7NION ,
founded npon the will of the people ,
endowed with the future powers of
self-preservation and with ample au
thority for the accomplishment of its
great objects. Under this constitu
tion , the boundaries of freedom have
been enlarged , the foundations of or
der and peace have been strength
ened , and the growth in all the better
elements of national life has vindi
cated the wisdom of its founders and
given new hope to their descendants.
Under this constitution , our people
made themselves safe against danger
from without and secured for their
mariners and flag an equality of rights
on all seas. Under this conatiiu.icn
twenty-five states have been added to
the union , with their constitutions
and laws framed and enforced by their
own citizens to secure the manifold
blessings of local self-government. !
The jurisdiction of this constitution
now covers an area fifty times
greater than that of the original elates
and a population of twenty times
greater than that of 1780. The su
preme trial of the constitution came
a. last under the tremendous pressure
of a civil war. We , ourselves ; are
witnesses that the union emerged from
the blood and fire of that conflict
PUBIFED AND MADE STKOXOEE
for all tbe bentficent purposes of good
government ; and now at the close of
this first century of growth , with the
inspirations of Its history in their
hearts our people bavo latply re
viewed the condition of the nation ,
passed judgment upon the conduct
and opinions of its jjHitical parties
and have registered their will concern
ing the future administration of the
government and to interpret and exe
cute that will , in accordance with the
constitution is the paramount duty of
the executive. Even from this brief
review , it is manifest that the na
tion is resolutely facing to
the front , resolved to employ
its best energies in developing the
great possibilities of the future , sa
credly preserving whatever haa been
gained to liberty sod good government
during the century. Oar people are
lotermined to leave behind them all
these bitter controversies concerning
: hincs which have been Irrevocably
tettled , and. further discussion of
rhich can only stir up strife and de-
ay our onward march.
THE SUFKESIACr OF THE 1 ATIOX
md ita laws should be nolonger a sub-
ect of debate. That discussion which
or half a century threatened the ex-
stenco of the unloc , was closed at
ast in the high court of war by a de-
ree from which there ia no appeal ,
[ hat the constitution and laws made in
mrsuauco thereof are and shall con-
inuato be the supreme 'aw of the land
sbinding alike upon the states and the
> eople. Ttna decree dooa not disturb
ho autonomy of the states nor inter-
ere with cny of their necessary rules
if local self government , but it dops
ix and establish the supremacy of the
inion. The will of the nation spef.k-
ng vith voice of battleand through an
.mended constitution has fulfilled the
; rcat promise of 1776 by proclaiming
'liberty throughout the land to all
he inhabitants thereof. "
THE NEGRO.
The elevation of the negro race

: eaehip ia the greatest and most im
portant political change wo have
cuowu oince the constitution In 1787.
So thoughtful man can fail to appre-
: iato its beneficient effect npon our
nstltutions and people. It haa freed
is from danger of war and dissolution ;
t has added immensely to that moral

lave from a relation which wronged

and more necessary to others.
? he influence of this fores will grow

outtiern community. This is to be

it the danger which arises from tei
IGNORANCE IN THE VOTER to
mot bo denied. It coven & field ini
far wider than that of negro suffrage
and the present condition of that race.
It is a danger that lurks and hides in
the corners and fountains of power in
ovary state. T7e kavo no standard by
which to meaeure the disaster that
may ba brought upon us by ignorance
in citizens when joined to corruption
and fraud in uuU'rago. The voters of
the union , who make aud unmake
constitutions , and upon whoso will
hanga the destiny of our government ,
can transmit their supreme authority
to no successor save the coming gen
eration of voters , who are the sola
heirs of sovereign power. If
that generation comes to its
inheritance blindr.d by ignorance and
corrupted by vice , the fall of the re
public will ba certain and { remediless.
The census hits already sounded the
alarm in appalling figures which mark
how dangerously high the tide of
illiteracy has arisen among dur voters.
To their children to the south the
question is of supreme importance but
the responsibility for the existence of
slavery did not rest upon the south ] I
alone. The nation itself is responsible
for the extension of the suffrage , and
is under special obligations to aid in
removing the illiteracy which it has
added to the voting population. For
north and south alike there is but one
remedy. All constitutional power of
the nation and of the states and all
volunteer forces of the people should
be so united as to meet this danger by
the saving influence of
UNIVERSAL EDUCATION.
It is the high privilege and sacred
duty of those now to educate their sue- j
ceaaora , and to fit th * > in by intelligence
and virtue for the iuhetitance w'lich '
awaits them. In this bencficient
work sections and races should be for
gotten and partisanship should be un
known. Let our people find a new
moaning in the divine oracle which
declares that "A little child shall lead
them , ' ' for our little children will
soon control the destines of the Re
public.
My countrymen , wo do not now
differ in our judgment concerning the
controversy of past generations , and
fif ty years hence onr children willnotbe
divided in their opinions concerning
our controversies. They will surely
bless their fathers and their father's
God that the Union was preserved ,
that slavery waa overthrown , and that
both races woo made equal before the
law. Wn may hasten or may retard ,
but we cannot prevent the final recon
ciliation. It Is not possible for us
now to make a truce with time by an
ticipating and acceptiug its inevitable
verdict. Enterprises of tuo highest
importance to our moral and material
well-being invite us , and offer ample
acopo for the employ of our best
powers. Lnt all our people leaving
their battlefield cf dead issues , move
forward in the strength of liberty
aud restored union with the grandest
victories of peace.
THE FINANCES.
The prosperity which now prevails Is
without parallel in our history. Tke
fruitful seasons have donn much to se
cure it but they have not done all. Th
preservation of public credit and the
resumption of specie payments , BC
3ucc2ssfully attained by the adminla
tration of my predecessor , haa enabled
our people to secure the blessing
vrhich seasons have brought. By th
Bxprienca of the commercial nation
In all agt > s it has been found that gel
ind silver offer the only safe founda
turn for a monetary system. Coufua
Ion has recently been caused by var
tutions in the relative value of th
two mattalo , but I confidently btKev
that arrangements can bo nando be
tweou the leading commercial natiou
which will secure a general use of both
metals. Congress should provide tha
the compulsory coinage of silver now
required by law may not disturb on :
monetary system by driving eithei
metnl out ot circulation. If possible
iuch adjustment should be made that
the purchasing power of every coined
lollar will be exactly equal to Its deb
paying power in all tha markets of the
world. The chief duty of the nationa
government in connection with the
mrrency of the country is to coin and
Jeclaro its vilao. Grave doubts have
) oen entertained whether congress i
mthorizad by the constitution to
nako any form of paper money
egal tender. The present iseue of
Jnited States notes has been sustained
iy the necessities of work ; but such
taper should depend for its value and
Currency upon its convenience in use ,
nd its prompt redemption in coin at
ho will of the holder and not upon
ta compaleory circulation. These
totes are not money , bat

THE MORMONS.
The constitution guarantees absolute
freedom. Congress is
i religious pro
hibited from making any law respect
ing the establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exorcise thereof.
The territories of the United States
are subject to the direct lecislative
authority of congress , and hence the
general government is responsible
for any violation of the constitution
iu any of themjc1 * " It is therefore a reproach
preach to ' gf'govarnmeut that in
the most populous of territories this
constitntion&lTguarantee is not en-
jojfaTby 'the-iS&Jk "J"1 thpsnthgrlly
of congress is set ac naught. Tha
Mormon church not only offends the
moral sense of mankind by sustaining
polygamy , but prevents the adminis
tration uf justice through the ordi
nary instrumentalities of law. In
my judgment * it is the duty
of congress while respecting to
the utmost , the conscientious convic
tions and religiousscruplesofavery | citl-
zan to prohibit within ita jurisdiction
all criminal practices especially of that
class which destroy the family rela
tions endanger the social order. Nor
can any eccleaiastican organization be
safely permitted to ursurp in the
smallest decree the functions and
powers of the national government.
THE CIVIL SERVICE
can never be placed on a satisfactory
basis until it is regulated by law. For
the good ot the service itself , for the
pro'ection of those who are entrusted
with the appointing power against a
waste of tima and obstruction to the
public business , caused by inordinate
pressnre for place and for the protec
tion of incumbents against the in
trigue and wrong , I ehall at the
proper tima ask congress to fix the
tenure of minor offices of the several
executive departments and prescribe
the grounds upon which removals
shall bo made during the terms for
which incumbents have been appoint
ed. Finally , acting always within
the authority and limitations of the
constitution , invading neither the
rights of the states nor the reserved
rights of the people , it will be the
purpose of my administra
tion to maintain authority , and
in all places within its jurisdiction , to
enforce obedience to all lawa of the
Union in the interests of the people ,
to demand a rigid econ
omy ia all expenditures
of the government and to require an
honest and faithful service of all ex
ecutive officer ? , remembering that j
otficrs were not created for the benefit
fit of the incumbents or their support
ers , but for the service of the govern
ment. And now , fellow citizens , I
am about to arsume tbo great trust I' '
which you have committed to my'1
hand , I appeal to yon for that earn
est aud thoughtful support which
makes thia government in
fact . and in law a gov
ernment cf people. I shall
greatly rely npon the wisdom and pa
triotism of congress and of those who
may share with me the reponaibilities
and duties of the rdministration , and
above all upon our efforts to promote
the welfore of this great people and
their government , I reverently invoke
the support and blessings of Almighty
God.

WASHINGTON , March 4 10 P.ra. , <
" AfteF the * inauguration : ceretaohfeY
had been concluded , there was some'
delay in tha reforming of the proces
sion , which was to be reviewed by
President Garfield. It waa loiig after
1 o'clock before the notes of prepara
tion were sounded. The military and
other organizations were stretched
toward all points of the compass from
the capital while waiting Companies
marched and countermarched , and
several bands entertained the thous
ands with martial airs. Not ono-
tenth of the crowd could get near the
grand stand east of the capitol to hear
Gen. Garfield's Inaugural , and henoe
they gathered about the military or-
gauizitinns. Taouianda ware gather
ed in Pensylvanla avenue between
First and Four-and-a half streets.
Shortly after 1 o'clock a platoon of po
lice appeared to. clear the way , and
then it waa known that the grand
procassuin was to move A few min
utes later there waa a demonstration ,
and then the procession , headed by
Gen. Sherman and staff , started. Fol
lowing them came the escort , and
then President Garfield in an open
barouche , accompanied by ex-Presi
dent Hayes and Senators Thurm n
and Bayard. As the president's car
riage turned the corner at the naval
monument into Pennsylvania avenue ,
enthusiastic cheers rent the air. The
police had much difficulty in keeping
the way clear. The President rente
along the avenue and up to the execu
tive mansion wa3 ono continued -ova
tion. The marching and evolutions
of the troops were continuously ap
plauded. The Ninth New York regi
ment , Fifth Maryland regiment , the
Washington Light infantry , Eighth
Pennsyvania regiment , and the Naval
cadets attracted particular attention.
Tbe whole of the broad avenue waa
lined with spectators.
AT THE GRAND STAND.
Long before the procession left the
capitol all stands in the vicinity of the
reviewing point in front of the White
House , were filled by spectators , whe I
traited impatiently. A acore of army '
uificera occupied tbe eastern section of
the grand stand BB early as 12:30. : At
2 p. m. Gen. Hancock was driven up
In a carriage. As he mounted the
itand and took a front Beat with hia
friends in the western section , ho was
heartily cheered , and acknowledged
the salute by rising and doffing his hat.
A.t 2:30 : the president's emp'ly carriage
irove around from the south entrance
to the White House , and President
Grarfield and ex-President Hayea
ivalkoJ arm-in-arm , and took
ap position on the reviewing stand ,
rhe president waa received
nrith protracted applause. Before
the head of the procession waa in
sight , the party on the stand wore
; onitituted as follows : In the centre
stood President Garfield. On his
right was hia wife , mother and Mrs.
Sheldon , who came from Ohio with
them. On the left wore ex-Prealdont
ind Mrs. Hayea , and the presidenl'a
two little boys stood before their
nother. Immediately behind the
president were Generals Sherman and
jhendan , Secretaries Evarts and
5churz , and other ei-cabinot officers
md a few ladies
At 12:45 : the head of the procession
eached the reviewing point , and for
t long time President Garfield stood
rith his head uncovered. At no time
raa hia hat on. hia head for five con-
ecutivo minutes. General Hancock
eft the stand soon after the procea-
ion began passing review. The
> resident's mother enjoyed the acano
or nearly tin hour , aud then returned
o the White Honse.
On account of the cold the crowd in
he frout stand waa so dense that at
imea it waa impossible for the police
o prevent the necessity of breaking
auks. The procession waa juat two
lours passing the reviewing point.
Vhen the last troops had gene by the
rend completely tilled the avenue
long the entire park , and cheer upon
beer wont up for President Garfield.
IN THEIR NEW HOME.
Ten minutes later the executive
land was vacated , and the new presi-
ent and wife retired to the executive
mnaion. After the return of the
resident from the reviewing stand to
ie White Honse , the doors were :
losed to visitors , the extreme fatigue
F the day creating a necessity for
at. The president was unabla to
> fuse admiision to his old schoolfel-
iws , a delegation of whom from Wil- :
ama college called at 5 o'clock. They
ere received , and in response to an
Idress from Rev. Mark Hopkins , the
esident spoke a few words exprea-
ve of his pleasure at meeting hia old
soclates , and his gratitude tor their
ndly remembrances and good wishes.
16 o'clock the president dined with
s family , and the evening was spent
lietly and without occasions of any '
ito. Members of- the family of ex-
resideut Hayea called to Bay good-
re , expressing kindly wishes for the
ippineaa and sncceis of the family.
QOINP HOME.
Immediately after leaving the stand
[ -President Hayes and family went

ill go to Fremont , their old home.
THE EVENING FESTIVITIES.
Pennsylvania avenue resembles car-
val time , and la generally illurclnat-
in a very elaborate manner. In
me places the cityis brilliant , the
bite House grounds especially. A
rge star on the front of the north
rtlco ia the chief feature. Chinese
lanterns are stretched from Ui'j trees ,
and calcium lights thrown in all di
rections. The crowd Is eo dense that
tha street crs could not run. Largo
aorenad ng parties , made up mostly uf
vmtiug band : ) , have been busy sinca
