President Lincoln is in the White
House. You will have received his In
augural before this reaches you. 1t is
all that the occasion required worthy
of a Republican President and OF the
American people.
For all the reproach and contumely of
the last ten weeks l am rewarded; first.

thing to avert civil war, and to hold
Border States in the Union; second, that
my views are correct (tbough grud g.

THE INAUGURATION

Passed off without any disturbance,
and is said to have been witnessed by a
greater number of persons than that of

address, The address was delivered in
. calm and collected manner, aud was
applauded repeatedly and at times rap

Justice from an Unexpected Source.

Justice from an Unexpected Source.
On his way to assume the duties of bis
Office as President Of the newly " Confed-
Grated States of America" Mr.. Jefferson
Davis, in addressing his countrymen,
said:
1.-The time for compromise is past, and
we are now determined 10 maintain our
position. and make all who oppose US
smell Southern gunpowder aud feel
Southern steel.''
We suppose every Christian gentleman
North and South, regretted to read such
language from Mr.. Davis. under such
circumstances. When the South is ear
nest III its desires to settle such contro-
versy without war, it is in the highest
degree unfavorable to peace ,for the
chosen leaders to threaten gunpowder
and steel, in language such as Presidents.
statesmen, or even kings, are not accus-
toned to employ.
On his way to assume the duties OF his
Office as President of the United States OF
America. Mr.. Abraham Lincoln, in ad
dressing his countrymcn. said:
A'o"S IA view VI IuC picscut de-
pect Of affairs, there need be no blood
shed or war. There is no necessity
for it. l am not in favor of such a
course, and l may say in advance that
there will be no bloodshed unless it be
forced upon the Government, and then it
will be compelled to act in selfdefense. !"
That language Is worthy of the day
on which it was spoken, of the spot on
which it was said, and of the man who is
going to the Office which Washington was
the first to ell. In behalf Of the Christian
people of this country, in behalf of civil
iza:ion. religion, commerce, humanity,
and freedom, we thank Mr.. Lincoln for
these noble words. We send them out
in contrast with the words of Mr. Jefer-
son Davis, and we wish to write them dis
tincty and hold them up in the sight OF
heaven and earth, that all men may know
on whom the responsibility rests if the
country is plunged into the horrors Of

Mortality of New York.

This recent report of the select COM
mittee of the New York Senate, appoin.
ted 10 investigate the health department
of New York City, makes some startling
relations. Whilst the United States are
far healthier than the European nations,
the city of New York is more unhealthy
than any of the leading European cities.
Taking eight principal nations of Europe
the lowest ratio of deaths is % in 200
and the average 26 12 in 1000, whilst
In the United States it is only Is in
1000. Taking seven Of the principal
cities OF Europe. the highest ratio Of
deaths is 56 in 1,OOe, and the average
20 in 1000, whilst in New York city ii is
81 IN 1000. The ratio of deaths in
the State of New York. outside of the
city, is only 8-8 in 1000.

A Tennessee View of Coercion.
The Nashville Banner says:

Citizens Of the seeding States seize
and hold the arsenals and forts of the
United States by armed force. They
drive out all United States Officers from
therein. Is that coercion, or not? And
is it the duty of the United States Gov
ernment to submit to coercion? Citizens
of the seeding States seize the mints
and treasures of the United States and
rifle the mails at pleasure, and threaten
with death any United States officer that
opposes. Is that coercion or not? II so,
is it the duty of the United States to
submit to it?
So far, all the coercien-all the resort
to force. to military force to violate
rights. laws and property-has been on
the part of seeding States. And yet
all the howl that has filled the nation,
against coercion, has been poured forth
by those daily resorting to it! 1t is right
enough for any mob to seize the proper
ty and trample on the flag Of the Union,
but damnable coercion if the Union refuse
to submit to be robbed and insulted by
such hands.

Diptheria an Old Visitor.

The throat disease now known as Dip
liberia is an old disease with new name.
The word is from Greek word signify
ing skin, and should be spelled diphthe- :
ria, and not, as it usually is, diptheria.-
This disease visited this country as long
ago as 1887, and ragged with great vio-
lenes. We find, says the Portland
Transcript, in Parson Smiths Journal,
frequent notices of its ravages in this
region. Under date of Oct 81, 1897,
he says a fast was held on account OF
this throat distemper. It was epidemic,
and commencing at Kingston, N. H.,
spread through New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,, and was two years in
reaching the Hudson River. In New
Hampshire not less than one thousand
persons fell victims to this malignant dis
temper, and in Boston four thousand per-
sons had the disease, and one hundred
and fourteen died. In May, 1887, Par
son Smith mentions that seventy five had
died Of it in this town. Under date oil
October l3, 1877, he says: "The dis
temper is still bad at Scarborough. Not
one has lived that has had it of late. -
1t was the most fatal scourge that eve,
visited New England. and rapidly hur'
ried its subjects to the grave; the throa

Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln in " ashinston.

The Washington correspondent Of the
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser says that
MIR. Lincoln doss not appear to be trou
bled by the discoveries of reasonable
conspiracies made to take his life, oI
which we received such astounding reve-
lations through the n. Y. papers, but OF
which we have no evidence here. He
rides about in any hack which may be at
hand when he goes out, visiting hi,
friends, and consulting with Senators.
Mrs. Lincoln is already very popular
among the large circle of ladies who have
called upon her, and the Kentuckan' de-
clare that while she is at the White
House the Union will be safe.
