President Grants inaugural.

ULYSSES $. GRANT is President of the
United States. AT meridian yesterday,
in the presence OF an immense concourse
of people, he took the oath of Office, de-
livered his inaugural address, and en-
tered upon the duties of Chief Magistrate
of the Nation. As he remarks, the office
went TO him unsought, and he COM
mences its duties untrammelled. Most
sincerely will every good citizen hope
that the great influence he can exert
may be for the best interests of his coun-
try, and that his duties may be discharged
with moderation, justice, and for the
right.
The message has the merit OF brevity,
the soul of wit. 1t is frank, positive and
unequivocal, as far as he foreshadows
his principles and policy. In style and
expression it is imperious. more like the
order of a general ia the field, or the
speech from throne, than the Republi-
can plainness that should characterize the
documents of the chief magistrate Of q
Democratic people. But we have neither
time or space this morning to criticise
his sentiments or review the policy
that he has enunciated. The docu-
ment itself Is so short that a sum-
mary is unnecessary. We shall take
occasion, however. 10 make some
of his texts The subjects for comments.
We notice that the money market in New
York, one of the national pulses, was not
affected by the change in the Govern
ment or the declarations of the new Pres
ident. This is encouraging. Let us
have peace

Suecial Session.

From the best information we can get,
the Governor has ordered elections to fill
the vacancies occasioned by the resigna-
tions of Democratic Senators and MEM
bers, to he held on the Old inst. This is a
very short time, and evinces distrust of
full notice and free discussion, but not
withstanding, we believe every one OF
those who resigned will be returned by
increased majorities. Turn out, Demo
Gratis and Conservative Republicans, and
show the world that you have State

Address OF the Democratic Members of
Legislature.

To tie People of Indiana:
We the undersigned, appointed by the
Democratic Senators and Representa-
tives in the General Assembly, address
YOU in their behalf, and, we believe i'll be-
half Of the fundamental principles OF our
government:
We believe the Government was formed
for white men, in the iHteT est of white
men, as we'll as we kROW it was created ty
white men, by whom the cOlOred people
were looked upon as an inferior and sub
ordinate race, and were held in servitude
by the trainers of the Declaration of indie
pendence and founders of the glorious in
stitutiODs under which we so long pros
pered. Looking lat the distinction of
races of men in this light, the voters of
Indiana by the last direct expression
taken upon the subject, by more than
ninety thousand majority, in 1851, adopted
on separate vote, the 18th article OF our
state Constitution, in these words: mo
negro or mulattO shall come into, or
settle in the State after the adoption OF
this Constitution" By the Same COnsti-
tuition. the right of suffrage-of voting
IL given TO every tettto snolo nitiao". /"
etc.; and, also, mo negro or mulatto
shall have the right of suffrage" From
the formation of the the United States
Constitution until now, the acknowledged
right OF each State to regulate the suf-
frage of its inhabitants-the right tC
vote-has never been questioned.
These are the principles upon which the
Government was fOrmed-the principles
npoa which il was administered by Dem
Ocrats. and the opponents of Democrats
until recently. Within the last five year.
these rights has been trampled upon by
the fraud Of leaders in the dominant
party North, and by force exercised at the
bidding of the same men in the South
Our own Republican Supreme Court
lately struck down the Thirteenth Article
OF the State Constitution, and held it o.
no validity; since which decision a vast
influx OF negroes have rushed into this
State.
In view of these facts, and many others
sharmight be enumerated, the Democrat
lie party charged that there was settled
purpose upon the part of the party mana
gers-especially In the east-Of thu
Republican party, To force negro suffrage
and equality, legal and social, of the races
npon the people.
This charge was met by the Republican
party in this State, at its Last State Con.
IGNITION, in these words:
Observation-Disclosures Of suffrage tC
the negroes of the South is the direct re-
suit of the rebellion and the continued
rebellious spirit maintained therein, and
was necessary to secure the rsconstruc-
ton Of the Union and the preservation oi
the loyal men therein from a state worse
than slavery, and the question Of suffrage
"a all the loyal States belongs to the people
of those States under the Constitution Of
the United States"
And the same party, at its last Nation
/ al Convention at Chicago, in these
words:

The Car eat Issue.

The adoption of the Joint resolution by
Congress proposing an amendment TO the
constitution regulating suffrage in the
States, was revolutionary measure and
fraught with mischief. 1t is an assump-
ton ofpower not delegated to Congress
and blow at the rights of the States,
which, if accomplished, will change the
character of our institutions. The ques-
ton of negro suffrage, obnoxious as it is
to the great mass of the American peo-
pie, Is not as Objectionable, is not as dan
gerous, as the revolutionary principle it
establishes. If the amendment is rati-
fed, then we shall have the centraliz-
alton of power in the general
government, which the trainers of
the Constitution sedulously strove TO
guard against in that instrument. 1t is
against this danger to Republican gov
eminent, which is carefully hidden in the

On getting to the house Just at dawn
asleep. On KNOCKING, a man apparently
just out of bed, raised Il window and
asked what the y wanted. Being told to
open the door in the Kings name. it
was done unhesitatingly. "Ah, George
what did you run away for?" asked the
man who opened the door, as he recog-
nized the boy by the torches which were
still carried.
You know him, then ?" queried the
magistrate.
Eyes, sir, he lived with us some time
back"
=" Did his master stay here any time
yesterday"
Yes, sir; he dined here and left
word for George to follow him to the
village of NJ, bat when the boy got
permission to stay here all night The
horse is in the stable now, sir"
Atwhat time did the lad run away 2"
don't know, sir, it was quite late"
How did you know he ran away?"

the bed clothes, and swung down from
the window. AT first l did not know
what it was as he swung down past my
window, but when he s.OOi on the
ground l saw it was the boy, and was
about to call him, when he ran away as
fast as he could"
Ibid you follow him."
ayes, sir, but we could not catch
him."
The house was searched, but nothing
could be found to criminate its Inmates.
The boys horse was found in the stable,
quite lame. In searching, one of the
men accidentally struck the wainscoat
which returned a hollow sound, and on
opening it small crucble and some
lapidary's tools, such as are used by
goldsmith's, were found. These We're
claim ed by one of the men CT the house,
who said he had been at one time APP
prenticed to goldsmith, and on enquiry
it was found to be so, The bedclothes
were on the bed in which the lad had
slept, and showed by their creases and
wrinkles to what use they hal been
Put.
"What made this bloody STAIN" ask

otis goats blood, sir, which we
slaughtered last night"
"A strange time and place to slaugh-
ter goat"
"Yes, sir. Twas the last we had
and it came home late to be fed and
when we tried to catch it it ran up

early breakfast, and the goat was all the
