During the delivery of the address
little Nellie Grant was lifted over the
shoulders of the intermediate specta-
tors, and reached the side of her faith
er, where she stood some time unseen
and unnoticed by him, but so smiling
and happy and brightly innocent that
her presence seemed to lend gleam OF
sunshine to the scene, and the incident
called forth many expressions of pleas
ure and admiration.
CONGRATULATIONS.
At the conclusion of the address the
President was warmly congratulated by
his friends, and soon afterward left in
his carriage for the White House.
DISPERSION OF THE CROWD.
The procession reformed and took up
the line of march in the same direc-
ton, and the Senate having returned to
its Chamber, the crowd dispersed, and
the Inauguration ceremonies were
brought to conclusion.
GRANT AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Grant reached the White |
House after his Inauguration about 2
P. NJ He was met at the door by
General Schofeld, Secretary of War,
who had been left by Mr.. Johnson in
charge of the Executive Office. The
latter left the White House at 12
O'Clock with the members of his Cab
met, except General Schofeld; Vice
President Colfax also accompanied |
President Grant to the White House.
The members of the staff of General
Grant were all present. An immense
multitude congregated outside the gates
of the Executive Mansion, in the belief
that there would be a general recep- |

IN THE SENATE CHAMBER.

As there appeared to be no further
business to transact, or, at least, no dis
position to do anything else, apparent
ly by common consent, Senators be-
gan to chat with each other and change
seats, and in a few minutes the desks
on the right hand side of the chamber
were left vacant for the occupation of
the Diplomatic Corps and other invited
guests who kept coming. The diplo-
mates, however. entered in body and
attracted immediate attention by the
splendor of their uniforms and their
dignined bearing. All the legations
were represented, and the Ministers of
the principal foreign nations were all
present, except Baron Geroit, of the
Prussian Legation, who was detained at
home by sickness.
ENTRANCE OF GRANT AND CoLFAX.
Soon atterward buzz of excitement
called attention to the appearance at a
side door of the President and Vice
President elect, who entered arm in
arm respectively with Senator Cragin
and Nc cCreery, the committee appoint
ed to escort them to the Chamber
ENTER THE SUPREME COURT JUDGES.
Almost at the same moment, and be-
fore they had reached the open space
in front of the chair, the door of the
main entrance was thrown open, and the
Justices of the Supreme Court, headed
bv Chief Justice Chase, and clad in
their robes Of Office, entered the Senate
Chamber, and walked in procession
down the center aisle, and took seats
prepared for them in front of the ros-
trum.
GENERAL GRANTS APPEARANCE.
General Grant had meantime been
conducted to a chair Immediately in
front of the clerks desk, and sat there
facing the audience, the target for sew
eral thousand eyes, whose gaze he
seemed neither to avoid nor to realize,
but exhibited his usual self-possession
and unassuming manner.
A VACANT CHAIR.
The seat to the left of that prepared

ADMINISTRATION or THE OATH.

The shouts and bursts Of music
from a dozen bands subsided as the
President elect and Chief Justice Of
the United States arose simultaneously,
and the latter commenced in clear
and solemn tones to rccite the formula
of the Presidential oath Of Office, which,
as General Grant reyerentially took, the
boom of cannon and shouts of the vast
multitude burst forth. Partial quiet
having been restored, the President
rose and proceeded to read from man
uscript, his inaugural address.

now IT WAS RECEIVED.

His voice was not audible except to
persons on or near the front of the plat
form, but at every pause the satisfac-
ton manifested by those who were near
at hand, was responded to BY cheers
and shouts from the crowd more dis
tant, and some of the points ofthe address
were quietly circulated from mouth to
mouth, and made the occasion for ap-
plause, even for some time after their
utterance.

The sports Of the Day.

The lovers of the nobler classes of sport
are enjoying themselves with all possible zest
and perhaps even with greater gusto for the
vicisstudes Of the weather. Although we
may keenly sympathize with those In the
Fordbam races, who want fine, breathless
air and clear track, with the elasticity Of
Mother Earth in her dryer moods, that there
may be the show Of good race, ribbons and
all, with good time to be put up on the board
at the end Of IL, yet we must not forget that
for the many whose racing tastes have not got
up TO the fine points in time, the days fun may
be none the worse for the shower. Indeed, we
fancy that In such matters the day that has
the shower in IL will be remembered long be-
yond all the others, for the Irritation and giee

Stirring Republican Movements In Spain.
The Madrid telegram which we publish this
morning announces great republican demon
stration yesterday at Cordova Deputies rom
all the Southern provinces of Spain were
present. The stands of the speakers were pro-
fusely decorated by intertwined Spanish anu
American flags. Loud cheers were given hy
the immense crowd fsr the Unite. States and
for President Grant. Resolutions were adopted
protesting against return to the monarchicai
system of government. Speeches of revolu-
tionary character were made. The arrival OF
the military and civil guard and their attempt
to put stop to the proceedings occasioned a
panic, during which many women and chill
dren were trampled on the ground and several
lives were lost. r ~
This demonstration is an echo of that lately
made by the republicans Of Catalonia, ARA
gon, Valencia and the Balearic Isles, through
the committees sent by them to the city OF
Tortosa. Our Madrid correspondent In his
letter of May &c, which we published yester-
day, gives an account of the meeting Of the
united committees and Of the compact which
they framed. This is now known under the
name of the ''Pact of Tortosa." One of it's
articles proclaims ''that the form Of govern
ment most convenient for Spain is the demo-
cratic federal republic, with all its legitimate
and natural consequences" This expression
of popular sentiment has met with hearty
response at Cordova on the part Of the repub-
lican deputies from all the Southern provinces.
The testimony of recent travellers in Spain
is unanimously to the effect that throughout
the country the people have taken vast strides
in liberalism and republican tendencies since
the date of the revolution. The delay Of the
leaders of the two old parties, the Progresistas
and the Moderados, in agreeing upon a kingly
successor to Isabella, has rendered their task
daily more difficult. The reactionary element,
secretly If not overtly, has been increasingly
active, and the delay in settling upon form
of government and upon the succession has
afforded every opportunity for the exercise Of
their traditional skill in intrigue. Their plot
ting with the Mazzinists shows to what an
extent the Church party will 60 to advance
their own ends. Meanwhile every month
which is passed without king is teaching the
Spanish people how well they might dispense
with one altogether. We shall soon see if they
are yet enlightened enough to profit by the
lesson.

in the community.

The National typographical Union, the
Press and the Postal Telegraph.

Press and the Postal Telegraph.
A preamble and resolutions were introduced
in the National Typographical Union, now in
session at Albany, in regard to the monopoly
of the Associated Press, and referred to o
special committee Of five for consideration,
who yesterday reported favorably upon
1t, and the report was adopted. The
preamble sets forth that 'the Associated
Press has virtually decreed that no more news
papers shall be published in the United States,
and that those in existence which do not OBJ
tain their news through the Associated Press
shall be suppressed" and the resolutions point
to the postal telegraph system as the cure for
the evil, and urge that the delegates from the
Typographical Union to the approaching Labor
Congress at Pittsburg be instructed to use
their influence in favor Of the postal telegraph
system. We do not consider the above state
ment Of what is felt throughout the country
to be an oppressive and growing evil to
be in entire accordance with the facts,
although the practical operation of the mo-
nopoly Is in some respects as stated in the pre-
amble; but the remedy proposed in the resolu-
tions is the true and only remedy for the exist
ing evil.
The Associated Press is the immatur O
growth of on incomplete and inadequate
system of telegraph, and amounts to local
and not general monopoly. The refusal to
permit q new daily paper TO be established in
New York, which was brought out in the
discussion Of the resolutions, by refusing to
the proposed journal to participate In the
news obtained by the association, was the act
of the monopolizing New York journals !;
while the recent refusal to permit San Fran
cisco paper to participate in the news sent
by the association to that city, was the act Of
the San Francisco journals. The evil, there
fore, of the present system lies in the fact
that IL enables the existing papers in any
city to prevent new journals from obtaining
news by telegraph, and this is tantamount TO
preventing new journals from being success
fully established. II may be said that this is
what the preamble states, and so II Is with
the exception that In naming the Associated
Press II conveys the idea that the evil Is
established by one great association, when
the fact Is that the present news system Is
worked by many small local associations and
not by one organization. We deem this ex-
planation TO be just TO the monopollst, though
il does not mitigate the evil.
The true evil of the press lies in the fact that
the system Of tclegraphic transmission is to a
great extent monopoly in this country.
Combined with this Is the fact that there is no
general business organization Of tho press Of

Complications In Havana.

Our telegram from Washington states
that the volunteers in Havana had forced
the new Captain General to countermand
General Dulce's requsition for five thousand
regular troops from Spain, and this statement
seems to explain the recent report from Mad
rid that advice had been received there from
Cuba that no more troops were needed It Is
also said that the difficulties between the
Spanish officials in Havana and the volun-
teers are increasing. Our telegram from
Havana yesterday reported that committee
of citizens of Havana (Which under present
circumstances means volunteers) would go to
Porto Rico to meet the new Captain General
and escort him to that city. There is a
seeming contradiction In these various reports
as to the views that control the Spanish volun-
teers in Cuba, which can only be explained as
events develop. We do not believe that the
volunteers contemplate at present ignoring the
authority Of the home government. But their
action has deprived the government In Havana
Of Its legal authority and installed Ap anQ@o,,
lous state Of affairs there very similar to that
which existed in Mexico in 1908. They will
find II very difficult If not impossible to retrace
their steps, and It is not improbable that their
intention in sending committee 10 meet Gen.
eral Rodas is to induce him TO adopt their
views. The consequences OF their misstep in
driving out Dulce will reach further than the
volunteers ever contemplated. II will be seen
by our Washington telegram that the Cuban
agents are pressing our government to recog-
nize President Cespcdes and we do not see
any logical plea on which Mr.. Fish can refuse
to grant the Cubans bellgerent rights and
assent TO the request Of Peru and Chile that
the United States shall lend Its influence to
humanize the war In Cuba.

PRACTICAL CHARrTY.-The Commissioners
of Public Charities and Correction are about
to open in Ninth street, near Third avenue, o
Free Labor Exchange for the benefit Of all poor
persons out Of employment 1t will be an in
telligence Office on large scale, without
charge to those furnished with employment, or,
as we understand 1t, to those furnished with
labor. Such an establishment is calculated to
tighten very materially the calls upon the
Commission for assistance in other ways, and
must prove q great public benefit.

British Review Of American Politics ant
Education.

Education
Professor Goodwin Smith is in Canada
Should he decide to fix his residence perna-
nently In the province the knowledge of such
fact must certainly ''cut off, the American
idea of improving the condition Of the colony
by annexation to the Union, as it would be
almost too great stretch Of national philan-
thropy to take in the Dominion, with its
divisions and distractions, and the Professor
with his Lectures" his 'Authologia Oxoni-
ensis"-whatever that is-and general col
legiate ''blather" at one and the same time.
The Professor will most likely return to Eng
land, however, when he imagines that the
objects of his present mission to this Continent
are completed. He delivered a speech in
Toronto on Thursday evening, In the course
of which he treated his hearers to
wordy contrast of the respective
appearances and educational utility of
the University of Oxford, founded by
Alfred the Great, and the Cornell University,
founded by Ezra Cornell, In the State of New
York. He paid deserved compliment to the
memory Of Mr.. Cornell but could not refrain
his sneers at the ''habit of the American Eagle
to open and boast of its institutions before
they are quite fixed up" Mr.. Smith next
proceeded to herald his position and personal
dangers to his friends in the Old Country, by
announcing that he was vastly afraid few
days since that he should have to "run for
refuge to Canada" In consequence of ''thun-
der storm" raised by Senator Sumner, "a gen.
tleman who speaks certainly with electric
effect although never using the premonitory
rumble" ''Safe under the protection of
the British flag" in Canada-which Is
more than the Nova Scotians or the
Canadians say they are-the Professor
compliments the press and political leaders
of the United States thus Tile might
say that the American press is not uni
versally celebrated for its intelligence; and
one of the papers that had been particularly
fierce In its denunciation of him had the day
before had brilliant article bearing on the
hat and boots of rival editor. He sincerely
hoped the storm would blow over, and the
more he saw of the American people the more
he was convinced Of their readiness to meet
every other people In fair and honorable
spirit. All he feared was the extreme virtue
of some of the politicians. It was possible
that they might do something too disinterested
and sublime. He was afraid of this; for hasty
progress In that direction would lead to conse-
quences." After this he intimated that
England would some day or other pay the
Alabama claims bill, as we all know she will
have to do. Should the money come to hand
soon something may be done for the Profess
sor-giving him a chair in the Cornell Uni
versity or opening store for the sale of his
books. How would this suit, Mr.. Professor?

Great expectations were entertained in
Brazil from the army in Paraguay, in view of
the fact that the Count d Eu, son-in-law of the
Emperor, and well advised as to the views of
the court circle in Rio Janeiro, had assumed
the command of the allied forces operating
against Lopez. The Count had seen some
service on the staff Of General Sherman In
our late war, and with General O'Donnell in
the Spanish invasion of Morocco few years
since; but from the news we publish TO- day
it would seem that he has not acquired suff1-
cient experience to cope with the energy and
activity of Lopez. According to these advices
the fiery Paraguayan has not waited to be
attacked, but as soon as the allies came
out of their entrenchments he knocked to
pieces an expeditionary corps which landed
at Rosario, gathered up an entire regi-
ment of cavalry and boarded and took q
steamer having in tow chata with provisions,
We think Brazil had better give up the point
in the allied treaty which provides that Lopez
shall be excluded forever from Paraguay, and
make terms in the best way she can. This
war is stale and improbable thing for the
Brazilian finances, and If continued may pro-
duce worse results in Brazil than in Paraguay.

ANOTHER STgIKE.--Stage drivers now get
one dollar and seventy-hve cents day, and
intend To strike, 1t is said, for three dollars.
They are very hard worked men, and three
dollars may not be too much but 1t is very
likely that their places can be supplied at the
old rate. If they can be they no doubt will
be; for the owners forewarned will be FORE
armed. But we caution the people to take
care how they cross Broadway on the day
when all the stages are in the hands of new
drivers

The latest news from France is of very
alarming character. Gable kilograms dated
yesterday evening report most exciting de-
monstrations by large crowds assembled in
the Montmartre district, charges of cavalry on
the people, attempts to erect barricades and
their Illustration by the police. A number Of
newspaper editors were arrested and several
press seizures made by order. Napoleon and
Eugene drove through the disturbed district,
and were, we are informed, cheered
enthusiastically by immense assemblage 8
of people. The result of the cleo
tions, which has proved cause of re-
joicing to lovers of liberty all over the world,
has been accepted generally in France as
a triumphant protest against imperialism.
We do not recollect any great event in these
last years which has been commented upon
with such unanimity by French, German,
English aud American journals AS the de-
tails reach us from different quarters it is made
the more manifest that the result of the Paris
elections called forth the same Judgment every
where-that the one-man government was
doomed. This judgment was confirmed when
it gradually became known how matters had
gone in the other large cities and in the de-
partments. The International puts il
strongly, but not too strongly, when
it says that Paris has declared that
"it is no longer contented with government
which Is neither personal government nor the
government Of the country by the country, nor
despotism, nor liberty" AS proof that the
feeling is intense we are told that the distur-
Dances in Nantes were much more serious than
at first reported and that they were sup
pressed with difficulty. The dangerous char
acter Of the situation, despite the cheers, is
made manifest by the announcement that NJ.
Persigny, one Of the stanchest friends and
most trusted advisers of the Emperor, has
| written to his master recommending the intro
duction of further liberal reforms.
There are many, of course, who take a mild
view Of the situation and who do their best 10
explain away the alarming character of the
facts. According TO such persons France Is
exercising new-found privilege and rioting
somewhat in a new-found liberty. Opposition
Is sweet in such circumstances but from it,
apparent strength large deductions must
always be made In order 10 arrive at correc,
measurement Of It's actual force. BY some
1t is argued that the Emperor has himself pro.
voked the Disturbances, In order TO create q
pretext for Withdrawing the reforms he has
granted, or rather that, with a view 10 catch
his friends and the lovers of order generally
throughout the empire, he has gone faI
enough, and that further concessions would
be dangerous. BY others again It is argued
that the Emperor has been fully prepared fol
all that has happened; that he is not at all
surprised, and that he will go on in spite oi
all appearances to the contrary, humoring the
French people, granting further reforms, and
gradually reconcillng theia, in spite Of them
selves, to Bohapartism.. - g,..
Our view Of the situation is different. I, Is
our opinion that Napoleon The Third desires,
