PRESIDENT GRANTS INAUGURAL
Opinions of the Press.
THE PHILADELPHIA JOURNALS.

The LEDGER thinks it is brief clear and
dispassionate, and just what the bulk of the
people would expect such man to say
lie takes the oath of Office "with determina-
tiou TO DO, to the best Of his ability, all
that 1t requires of him. 1t is easy to see
in these words that General Grant had we'll
considered the words of the oath, that he
fully comprehended their solemn importance,
in requiring him to faithfully execute the
Office of President" and that he is determin-
ed to do it.
The AGE says: The address is not bellig'
erent in its tone, but in general promises and
demands equity in our dealings with foreign
powers. Taking it altogether as the utter
ance of q President not elected by the con-
sttutioual party, but put forward by the
enemies of free constitutional government,
to enable them to tide over all election, we
think they have more reason to be discomfort
ed with the inaugural than we have. The
President asks the prayers of the nation to
Almighty God, and the efforts of every
citizen, for the cementing of happy Union
of the States. No human instrument can be
more effectual to that end than General Grant
himself All that he does towards it will
receive fair construction and furtherance
from us, and, we believe, from the great
body of the Democratic party
The INQUIRER thinks that the inaugural ad-
dress of President Grant will meet every eX-
pectation of the people who elected him.
1t contains every pledge of fealty to the
principles of the Republican party which the
most earnest friend of these principles can
desire. 1t is deficient in no essential partic
ular, and its suggestions are those which the
good sense and patriotism of our couutrymen
will ratify. President Grant is il his ex'
pressions, brief and to the point. He is
solid and dignifed and his words will create
profound Impression. Whoever has been
complaining that the sentiments of this mar
of mystery were unknown, will have no furth
er occasion for complaint after reading the
Inaugural Message
The PosT says: This address is straight
as rapier and as pointed. 1t is the unglov
ed hand of soldier reached out to his coun
trymen in frank and fearless case. Unlike
the second address of Mr.. Lincoln, it has M
beauty of rhetoric, no music of words, bu
is almost without precedent, in its drectnes
and candor. 1t is great only in its simplicity
The sashed and girded sphynx has spoken
and the mystery exists no more. 1t is n
presonifcation of silence that we have place
in the Presidency but simple, honest, EN-
phatic man, who uses speech as he uses hi
sword-only when it is necessary. Gran

The Cabinet.

Gen. Grant on Friday put an end to the
guesses relative to his Cabinet, by sending
his nominations to the Senate. According
to his previous announcement, Gen Schofeld
remains for the present at the head of the
War Department. The other places will be
filled as follows:
Secretary of State-ELIHU B. WASH
DURNE Of Illinois.
Secretary of Treasury-ALExAyDER t.
STEwANT, of New York.
Secretary Of the lnterior-Gen JACOB D.
Cox, of Ohio.

BoRIE, of Pennsylvania.
At'orney-General-E. RocKwooD HoAR,
of Massachusetts,
Postmaster er-General-JoHN A. j. CREs-
WELL, of Maryland.
Mr.. Stewart, has declined, in consequence
of lay passed at the close Of the last CEN
tury prohibiting an 'importer" serving in
such capacity, and Ex-Gov. Boutwell, of
Mass, will receive the appointment, which
will necessitate further change. Judge

THE EFFECT OF Cold WATER ON WASHING
TON POLITICIANS "A Washington letter says:
Speaker Collax INDUCES in little eating aud
drinking He never drinks wine nor proiiers
the poisoned bowl to his guests. The Hou-
orable Ballot and Baukem were guests at his
table last winter, assisted at one of the ee
CANT entertainments in the shape of dinners
to members of Congress. AS the dessert
appeared after two hours eating, the honor
able remembered an engagement at Senator
Morgan's and so excused themselves. When
once in the street, said Baukem to Ballot:
"Good Lord, Ballot, let's go somewhere and
get drink! l am cold down to my feet
If Colfax would only warm his water lit
tie: but ice-why he puts in great Jumps. =
It's cruelty to beasts. Ballot suggested
that they would find something at Morgan's,
as wine supper was going on, given to the
national committed Arriving at the New
Y ork Senator the two found the tables COW
cred with champagne bottles. Take away
your thin potations, Morgan" cried Ballot,

Brandy and whiskey were produced, and as
Senator Morgan watched his thirsty guests,
he remarked quietly; "Why, gentleman,
you must have been dining with Speaker
Colfax.

Don Carlos in Spain.

The Information Just received that Don
Spain, holly pursued by the French police,
is significant in more respects than one. 1t
indicates, in the first place, says the N. J.
Herald, a disposition on the part of Napo-
leon to maintain the most friendly relations
with the new government established in
that country. while, in the second place. it
leaves little room for doubt that Don Carlos
must be at tue head of faction which he
at least deems strong enough to hold its
own, or he could scarcely he such fool as
to risk his head upon the venture. We have
no Indications, however, that the party is
of consequence sufficient to be at ali forml-
dabe, and we think that Gen. Prim will
make short work of the matter should the
Carlists muster in sufficient force to take
the field. They fought it out under better
were then as defeated, demorulizef, and
broken up as any political party ever was.
We cannot see what reasonable prospect of
success is before Them Even the colonies.
Cuba and Madeira, have already pronounced
for republicanism, and can it be possible
that the mother country, having once tasted
the sweets OF liberty, will voluntarily go
back to the old system as it existed under
the Bourbons? Don Carlos, we are told,
entered the country in haste We shall not
be surprised to hear that he has made his
exit quite as rapidly. When will these
scions of old royal houses learn to read the
signs of the times and be wise? The peo
pie are fit enough to rule themselves in their
own way, and every year finds them better
prepared and more resolved to do so.

do as Governor Walker has done-damn the car

We have elsewhere shown that we are
perfectly we'll informed as to the record of
the STANDARD. We do not wish to be
reckoned a Virginia Republican" II we
wished to be reckoned the Republican of
any State, we should he not only satisfied,
but proud to he rcckoned a NORTH CAR
DINA Republican, for the record OF the Re
publican party of this State is a record to
be proud Of But our Republicanism is not
confined to this. We belong to the great
National Republican party which controls
the country, and to which GRANT belongs.
To this party the VIRGINIA party asked to
be admitted and to it, it now claims to be-
long. Therefore the VIRGINIA party comes
to us. As to past errors we know of none.
We have been true to the government, true
to the State, true to the people, and if we
have ever erred, these virtues will more
than atone for all errors We do come
boldly before the world in defence of our
principles-more boldly than any other pa

hility of VIRGINIA had triumphed.. Very
good, we thought so, too. But the worth,
intelligence and respcctabilityof VIRGINIA
have utterly repudiated the Democracy and
denounced itsfor its radicalism. The Jour
nal is condemned by those whom 1t ac-
knowledges to he the best men IN the State.
No wonder that it RACES, and is regafaiess
of what it says! No wonder that 1t cannot
find any argument wherewith to defenu IL
self! No wonder that il dives into the past
to escape the disgrace of the present we
tell the Journal that its every act is con-
frssion of weakness. 1t answers argument
only with abuse. for il cen find no argument to
sustain itself 1t attempts to hide the proofs
against it by finging its dirt, but the at
tempt is a failure, and it stands before the
people in all its nilcous delormity. Let
the journal use arguments and facts, or let
it be silent.

A PRISE which Runs.

The Sentinel is evidently in favor OF Gov.
HOLDEN for tac Vice Presidency in 1872.
At least snch is the inference drawn by many
from its article of yesterday. We are the
more grieved at this as the friendship OF the
Sentinel has always resulted disastrously to
the person or party so bcfriendeJ. We do
not know what to make of this sudden flip
flap by the Sentinel Can 1t be that the
editor is DESTROYS of thus showing his graft
tude to Gov. HOLDEN for getting him elect
ed to the Confederate Congress Or is tins
the result of revengeful feelings? Is he
aware of the fatality which attends those
whom he befriends, and docs he thus wish
to revenge himself for the defeat he suffered
at the hands of the Governor? He well
knows that the Governor once defeated him,
and once took pity upon his iorlorr condi-
ton and got him elected. Is he now ruled
bv feelings of gratitude or rcvenge2 it by
gratitude we beg of him not to alter his
usual course, but to keep on abusing the
Governor Just as he has always been doing.
His Safeguarding and abuse has done
more to help the Governor than any other
thing. To now change and praise him
would be to greatly injure Gov. HoLDEN's
chances for the Vice Presidency, which are
now good If, however, he means to revenge
himself for his defeat, we conjurc him to
adopt some other mode of revenge. Abuse
and vilify Gov. HOLDEN ali you will, but as
YOU have remembrance of former favors do
not praise him. Be an enemy to him as you
always have been Do not, we entreat you,
he friend to him. A friend" take any
shape but that, and our firm nerves shall
never tremble" What would the people
think if there was any quality in Gov. lioI.-
DEN which the Sentinel could think worthy
nf praise Why, they would at once dis
trust any man who could lie base enough
to deserve praise from the Sentinel You
know, dear Sentinel, that you don't like
Gov. HOLDEN? You know you hate him
and think him i. bad man-you do, don't
you9 Please say you de, even if you don't
| Don't take advantage of You, power and
| praise him /! Such a revenge would be too
| fearful Make believe you hate him even if
you don't, and the Governor will bless you
We will bless you! Every coed man will
bless YOU! Don't ruin the Governor by
| praising him He don't deserve such fate!
He may he guilty of some sins-every one,
the Bible SAYS, is sirful-but he is not wick
ed enough to be praised by the Sentinel. Be
merciful, and abuse him. Say he is a cur
SER" Say he is bad-man. In short do
anything except praise him.

The State Credit.

The recent action of the Supreme Court
in relation to appropriations tor railroad
purposes, has had a fine effect on the State
credit The debt of the State, old and new,
is not more than thirty-fve millions of dol
lars. The while of this debt has been pro-
nounced good by the Court, and the de-
cision necessarily prevents any further debt,
except as the result of the approval by the
people at the ballot-box of proposed appro-
p iations. 1t is, therefore, reasonable to pre-
sumo that the debt will not be increased.
We learn that the Trustees of the Univer-
sity, all the Superior Court Judges being
present, resolved at recent meeting to in
vest $125, 900, the proceeds of the Agricul-
tural Land Scrip, in North Carolina bonds.
State bonds are going up, and will no doubt
soon range from IS to 70.
