The National Inauguration Bail There
was meeting, We learn, last evening, Of the
gentlemen appointed to take the necessary
steps for the Grand Inauguration Ball, and,
among other measures, the erection of large
hall in Judiciary Square, was decided on.
The gentlemen who have entered upon this af-

the habit of doing things by halves, are de-
termined to mako it one of the most marked
and brilliant events Of the kind in the history
Of the country. They mean that it shall be
national in its character, and no expense will
be spared TO render it every way creditable to
the country. Any surplus arising will be de
voted to charitable purposes.
