opposed? Opposition is Of two kinds-vo!ent and
necessary. These may be subdivded into several

THE TuRoNG IN WASHINGTON to all
accounts, the city Of Washington will present o
mighty spectacle Of human beings on Wednesday
next, the day ofthe Inauguration ofPresident Buch
anan. 1t is already nearly full of strangers from
every State and Territory in the Union and it is
estirnat that the number will be doubled and tre
bled by the 4th of March. The Star of Tuesday
evening has the following on the subject:
"TuE TnRoSG.-The pressure of strangers here
is already mmense-much larger than eysr before,
so long previous to the advent of an Inauguration
day, even when the inducements for ofice-scekers
to flock to Washington was much greater than at
present If they continue to come upon us until Il
fourth after this fashion, there will be perhaps 1907
600 strangers here by that time. The hotels CASH
ionable ones are all full to overowing alter double
bedding their rooms and each billeting out large
number of guests. Nevertheless the billeting pro-
cess continues. Indeed as full as the hotels are it
is much more pleasant to be quartered in private
rooms without their portals. The scene in the par
lors at Willard's, yesterday afternoon, bril-
liant as in ball room, SO great was the throng of
stranger ladies in brilliant array So also was the
scene at the Kirkwood's; in both of which we had
occasion to enter. The steamer George Washington,
by the by, has again been placed on the route be-
tween Alexandria and Washington, which affords
communication by steamboat between the two cities
at least every hour throughout the day. On the
casion of the Inauguration it will Of course be open
