E The late Inauguration Ball at Washington,
was probably the grandest affair of the kind that
has ever been got up in our country. The propri-
etors made extensive preparations, and as they
feared went farther than they would be warranted
by the receipts. The expenses of the room alone,
were 50, 500. 1,045 tickets were sold at SO each,
and supposing that each gentleman took on an av-
erage two ladies, there could not have been less
than 5000 present The half would have been
enough. The supper room was perfect jam the
whole time-every one was on the move-a mina-
ture Babel-confuson confounded.-Nobody could
be found, nothing could be seen. Gen. Taylor was
escorted into the hall between two files of ladies'
clothed in the richest attire of their sex Col Bliss
in uniform, his wife in figured muslin Dress at
tracted the attention of ALL The President and
Vice President were both bountifully bestowed with
bouquets by the ladies. Gen. Taylor seemed to
retain all his self possession evincng to those pres
ent that he was veteran in the ball room, as well
as on the BATTLEFIELD. The managers discharged
their duties with great deal of credit to them
selves and in handsome style. The only fault was,
the inadequacy their arrangements for the crowd.
The finale of the matter which came off in the
chat and coat ROOM would certainly have been a
rare scene for a painters pencil The N. Y. Ex-
press says: "Some seven or eight hundred cloaks
and overcoats, and many hats, were ticketed and
shelved away in little seventy nine room of the
City Hall, where the ball was held; and upon the
strength of the tickets all had confidence that what
they deposited would be returned. But so many
were the numbers to be taken of that the SER
wants who had the custody of them got confused,
and confused every thing so that hat nor coat
could be found in proper place. A rush then en-
sued, and coats and cloaks were tumbled promis-
cuously together. Hats were trodden under foot,
garments were piled up in heaps,-and anon, the
spectacle exhibited of these seven eight hun
dred men, each and all under their own guidance,
and seeking for their own property. European
Ministers Plenipotentiary, American Ministers of
State, Msseurian and Maine ac were hustling each
other, side by side in the worst possible humor, all
pulling and hauling for themselves. Hats were
soon crushed into what printers call pi Cloaks
were trodden in the dirt disfgured, as hardly
to be known by their propreters, even they could
have the good fortune to find them at all. A per-
feet picture of ruin and of dspair exhib-
tied. Many left without their over garments, and
these were generally valuable, most of them
were worn by strangers who had put on their best
to come to Washington. The search for hats was
early given up, each took what best suited or
was most convenient hstLess went home by
hundreds and the os;r - we,e not few. To
add to the misery 0. al, the rain began to come
down: and such had been the enormous price de-
manded for carriages during the day, (ten and
twelve dollars) that very many had no carriages
engaged"

RE- The readers of the Freeman will find on
the outside of the paper to-day an act for the Or
ganization and regulation of common schools Of
Ohio. 1t is we'll known that our common schools
have been poorly conducted, and that no general
and well regulated system has been adopted, for
any length of timc by those who have had crontrol
of the matter. This inefficiency has been caused
in part by the nadequacy of the school laws, and
the want of thorough knowledge of the best plan
to organize general system. The present law
appears to be good one, as far as we are capable
of Judging, and as there is to be school meeting
shortly would it not be well to take this matter in
to consideration.
The towns adjoining US are far more advanced
than we are here. Sandusky is capable of sustain
ing good schools, and the constantly increasing
population demands that some good plan should
be adopted, 1t would speak well for our place,
and instead of young men and ladies going to the
adjoining villages to obtain an education, many
would come here to benefit themselves by the ad-
Vantages offered.

guilty, whereupon, Judge Saddler being absent,
the three Associate Judges of Sandusky county
fined him $500. They adjourned the Court and

ished, and there in the presence of a large con-
course ofinterested and Interesting spectators pro-
ceeded to liquor up with becoming judicial gravity

LOWER sANDusKY.

Our neighbors at Lower Sandusky are taking
hold of their contemplated plank road to Rome and
Tiffin, with great energy. Stock to the amount of
$4,000 has already been taken, with good pros
pect of completing the sum desred-5o,00o.-
This argues well for the prospects of this place and
the country through which this improvement is to
be located. With one of the best geographical po-
sitions in the State, and surrounded by fertile
country, there is reason why enterprise and en-
ergy may not give rapid and permanent growth
to that place. If we were at liberty to express
our opinion as to the causes that have heretofore
seemed to hold its prosperity in check, we should
give prominence to an unfortunate reliance upon
natural advantages which has only tended to lull
its citizens into inactivity and repose; thus render
ing the trade naturally theirs, ready reward to the
enterprise and activity of her less favored neigh
bors In this age of steam and electricity, natural
positions offer but temporary obstacles to energy
and enterprise, and in the absence of these form
poor reliance.
Our long acquaintance with Lower Sandusky
and its interests, and sincere desire for its pros
perty, must be our explanation for speaking thus
particularly and possibly too freely, of its wants.
But the fact noticed above indicates that better
state of things is in store for it The construction
of this road and the permanent improvement of its
water communication with the Lake, will give an
impetus to its trade which it could derive from no
other source, and which competition can effect.
That such an anticipation may be realized by its
citizens is our sincere wish. Milan Tribune.
