AFTER THE ADMINISTKATION 01' THt OATJI OF OFFICE , FJIEHIDENT ARTHUII DELIVERS HIS INAUQUKAL ADDRESS , WASUINQTON , Sept. 22. After the of oflico had boon administered by Chief Justice Waite , Presidon Arthur read the following inaugural For the fourth time in the history of the republic the chief magistrate las been removed by death. All hearts arc tilled with grief and horror at the hideous crime which has durk- on eel the land and the memory ory of the murdered president. Hit protracted sufferings , hiu unyielding fortitude , the example and achieve- in on Is of his life , and the pathos of his death , will forever iliuniinato the pages of our history. For the fourtli time un olllccr elected by the people and ordered by the constitution to fill the vacancy so created is called to asaunio the executive chair. The wisdom of our fnthurs , foreseeing oven thu most due possibilities , made sure tli.it the g eminent should never bo imperiled because of the uncertainty of human life. Men may die , but thu fabrics of our free institutions remain unshaken. No higher or more assuring proof could exist of thu strength and per manence of the popular government than the fact that , though the chosen of the people be struck down hit. constitutional successor iu peacefully installed without shock or strain , ox- copt'tho sorrow which mourns the be reavement. All thu noble aspirations of my lamented predecessor which found expression in his lifo , the meas ures desired and suggested during liih brief administration to correct abuses md enforce economy ; to advance proa pority and promote the general wel fare ; to mauro domestic security md maintain friendly nnd lion- irablo rotations with the nations of the earth , have met the approval ii the people , nnd it will bo my earn } at endeavor to profit , nnd to BOO that the nation f hall profit by his example uul experience , Prosperity blesses > ur country. Our fiscal policy ual Ixod by law is well grounded and 'enerally approved. No threatening issue mars our foreign intercourse , uul the wisdom , integrity and thrift ] ) f our people may bo trusted to con tinuo undisturbed. The pros out gives assurance of n career reor of pease , tranquillity and welfare. The gloom nnd anxiety which have enshrouded the country must make repose especially welcome now. No demand for speedy logiala turn has bcon honrd ; no adequate oc casiou is apparent for an unununl son 3011 of congress. The constitution defines the functions nnd powers of the executive ns clearly ns those of either of the other departments ol the government , , nnd he must inswor for thu just exercise of the discrctiqn il permits nnd the performance of the duties it imposes. Summoned to these high duties and rouponsibilitics , nnd profoundly con- 'icious ' of their magnitude and gravity , T nssumo the trust imposed by the constitution , relying for nid upon Divmu guidance nnd thu virtue , patriotism ami intelligence of the American people. After the reading of the iunup iral address , the personal congratulations of those present were extended , and the company left the cnpitol , Presi dent Arthur returning to the homo of Senator Jones.
