THE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES.
1t is said the committee managing the
Inauguration ceremonies hare felt some
embarrassment about the existing unplea-
SAINT personal difference between President
Johnson and General Grant. Custom would
require that the committee provide for the
incoming and outgoing Presidents to ride
together to the capitol on the 4th Of March,
but General Grant has plainly indicated
that he will not ride to the capitol in COM
pany with Mr.. Johnson. The latter has
not been consulted on the subject BY the
committee, nor has he said anything to any
one authorized to speak for him about the
matter so far as known.
In view of General Grants refusal &c
come in contact with President johnson
the committee may not communicate with
the latter relative to the ceremonies; but
however this may be, President johnson
will probably relieve all parties Of embar'
rassment in the case by quietly repairing al
10 o'clock March 4th) to the President:
room adjoining the Senate and, according
to custom on the last day Of the session
there remain with his Cabinet until moor
(the hour when his official term expires) te
consider bills that may be presented for nj!
signature. If this usual course be pur
sued, he will not, therefore, be party to th'
procession and other ceremonies which will
be in progress ct the same time in tht
streets Of the city, and the committee enc
ell other parties will then be relieved o
the dreaded embarrassment.
MR.. JoHNsON's CABINET.l'
Il is understood that the members o
President Johnson's Cabinet, except, pro
badly, General Schoheld and Mr.. Evarts
will tender their designations on or befor'
the 4th of March, to take effect On that day
