FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Under this caption we find in the Ma
tional Tntelligencer Of yesterday, the
following "reminiscences:
at Isl Just fifty wears this day sinccthe
Inauguration oiGeorge Washington as
President of the United States, when
This Government ofou went fully into
operation.
which it might have gone into opera
ton but like all other new machines,
(even the best Of them,) it was rather
difficult to set it agoing. The two
| Houses Of Congress, owing to the alb
! sence of any such facilities for travel as
now exist, and other obstacles, (want of
confidence in the new scheme of Gov
eminent was one ofthem,) did not as
semble in numbers sufficient to organize
themselves until a full month after the
appointed day. The vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President, consequently,
we're not opened and counted in their
presence until the sixth Of April, 1889.
The election of Gen. Washington to
the Office of President was announced
to him at Mount Vernon on the 10th of
the same month; and on the second day
thereafter he took his departure for
New York, where Congress was then
sitting, and where he was received as
he had been all along the road, with
every mark ofrespect and honor.
"On the 3oih of April, he took the
oath Of Office in the presence Of both
houses Of Congress and great assem-
bly, ofthe People; on which occasion,
after the administration Of the oath, R.
R. Livingston cried aloud "CoD SAVE
GEORGE WASHINGTON, PREs1DENToFTHE
UNITED STATES And all the people
said amen.
"The fifiieth anniversary Of such al
dayis surely worthy Of especial re-
mcmbrance."
