THINGS AT WASHINGTON.

Accounts from Washington show that the exci'e.

and has been much heightened by the scenes OF
Wednesday. Our report shows that Brown made al
distinct W. itten pledge to the free soil men, constitute

enough Of them voted for him have elected him. had
IL not been tina, three Southern democrats, who had be.
fore voted for HIM, gave their feenl d..
rectlon. This in consequence of the rumor which
prevailed. before the ballot commenced, that lie had
pledged himself to the Free Suil men. In the excited
discussion which entued, after the ballot terminated il
was distinctly charged upon Brown, are informed
by the correspondent of the New York Evening Post
that he had verbally pledged himself southern mem
bers that he would constitute The committees as TO be
opposed TO the provso. We do not learn this charge
was denied by Brown. Ifuue, il places him in a sltua
ton in which honorable could be found, and az
lords sad illustration of the demorazing influence OF
unchasened ambition the mind.
Ii would be idle 10 speculate on the turn which may
be given 10 by This incident Some suppose that
sthe Slaveocracy will be much frightened by the

the support of Winthrop, and thus secure more

The ceremonies and festivities at Cambridge
on Wednesday, in honor OF the induction into off
&c OF new chief OF the venerable institution OF
learning there, were fully attended, and were
performed and enjoyed by the sons of Harvard
with their sisters, wives, aid daug ghters,-wi
an enthusiasm. worthy OF such an era in the his
tory OF their Alma Mater.
The INST ceremony that of planting the
PreSidonts Tree This was performed by the
students at about IL O'Clock The tree being
placed in the centre in hole previously dug the
earth was thrown over its roots by Mr. Sparks
1 assisted BY the marshals and six of the senior
class.
Nine cheers for Mr.. Sparks were then given
by the students
AT the appointed time in the afternoon the ex-
ercises at the CHURCH commenced The large
church was crowded by an immense assemblage
OF ladies and gentlemen. Gov. Briggs, in an ap.
/ propriate address, inductcd the new candidate
into his office as President, and the new Presi-
dent replied, the Governor remaining standing.
Alter some other exercises, the newly ap.
pointed President delivered his Inaugural Ad-
dress, which occupied something more than an
hour. 1t was an ingenious and able Discourse
distinguished by its sound practical views. The
| leading subject was the character, objects, and
means Of College education in the United States
| as system peculiar TO this country, and adapted
10 its condition and its wants.
A splendldCoation served up at Harvard
Hall, after which the company adjourned TO the
Colleg, Grounds, TO witness the beautiful illumin-
alton OF the buildings. This commenced at nine
O'Clock. We understand that sixteen thousand
lights were placed in the various windows. The
scene was superb one. The day closed as ii
begun, almost cleudless, all having passed of
well, and leaving mark OF good omen against

In 1884, the cholera again made its appearance
in New York, on the lst of August, and continu-

HUNKER AND BARNBURNER. The ALBANY
Argus publishes list of forty seven "Democra,
tic" journals in this State which approve tbo
Hunker call for State Convention at Syracuss
on the 9th of September, with six more favorabs
to compromise, and FIVE that have as yet kent
shady.
The Albany Atlas matches this with a list ri,
fifty siI journals claimed TO be in favor OF tbs
Barnburner call Tor State Convention al Jtic
on the 18th OF September, Or at least opposed IN
the Hunker call, including seven that supported
Gen Cass last year. 1t farther asserts that of len
democratic" dalies in the State, but tao sus
tain the Hunker call.
The most remarkable feature OF these rival el
forts for union and harmony is this-that wherea
this city and Long Island were the Hunsg
strongholds last year, giving Cass some 20 900
