entered formally upon his duties at the Treasury
department this afternoou Mr. Boutwell, was met
upon his arrival at his office this atteno il by mum

from the higher Offices of the treasury down to first
class clerkships.
At / o'clock this morning the officers ofthe navy
stationed in and around Washington, proceeded in a
body TO the office of Secretary Borie, where they
were presented to him by Rear-admiral Dahlgrcen,
Chief the Bureau of Ordinance. The Secretary
received them i'll the most cordial manner
The entire party headed by the Secretary went III
body to the Executive Mansion, where they enter
ed the East Room, aud waited few moments to be
presented to the President Aftera short time the
President, accompanied by Gen. Dent, entered and
was introduced to the officers by Admiral Porter
They all shook him by the hand Prominent among
those present were vice Admiral Porter, Rear ad
mirals Shubrcl. Smith, Goodsborough Dahlgreen,
Howard and Powell. While the naval officers were
exchanging solicitations in the East Room, officers
of the army, headed by cx-Secretary Schoted and
Gen. Sherman entered the White House and We're
showl. into the East room. Gen. Sherman aP9
preached the President, and the two shook hanfs

Advised the Legislature to ratify the
18th Article and majority of both
Houses voted in favor of ratification
Many of those thus voting boosted of
having excluded the negroes from their

they have done in voting the 10Th artl-

read the following extract frem an ex-
change and see how they have qualified
the negro for office:
We have already expressed the opin-
ION that in the effect of the proposed
amendment is to endow the negroes with
the elective franchise, the omission of
the words "and bold office" will make
no difference whatever. The right to
vote implies the Ii ght to vote for whom
soovcr the voter may chooscto give his
support; and it is only limited in respect
to those Offices to which particular quail
fcations are required in the incumbent.
The elective franchise is privilege,
and the right to hold Office is one Of its
incidents, and it is provided that the
privileges Of citizens sltall not be abrilg-

THE INAUGURAL AND THE RACES.

II
A New Hampshire democratic paper
has the following paragraph on that
portion of the Inaugural relating to the
Indians and negroes:
',We only regret that General Grant
could not attend course of anthropo-
logical lectures. His ignorance of this
science is conspicuous in his reference
to the Indians as we'll as the negroes
He suggests that we should inaugurate
a policy towards them which will "tend
to their civilization, Characterization and
ultimate citizenship" Well, we have had
dealings with the Indians $50 years.
All the arts of peace and war have been
employed to "civilixe and Christianizc"
them, but of all the millions who have
lived and died within that time was ever
one converted? They are now almost
exterminated. The negro is as much
below the Indian in capacity, as the lat
ter is below the Caucasian; yet Grant
thinks he had better be admitted to the
ballot, not as right, for he thinks 1t un-
wise and dangerous, but to appease the
clamor of his New England patrons.
We hope not; not that he will not be
put to a good use for the little time his
race stops upon this continent, but be-
cause negro suffrage is burlesque upon
popular government, and an outgrowth
of an unwarrantablc and dangerous
usurpation of the central power"

TIE WHEAT CRoP IN TENNESSEE
An East Tennessee paper gives the fol-
lowing account of the wheat crop in that
section;
From all parts of the country we have
the most encouraging reports as to the
prospect of this crop. The fields smile
with the luxuriance and verdure of half
advanced spring. Our farmers rejoice
in the assurance of harvest unpreco-
dentedly large, and we hope that burs-
ting granaries will reward their tolls. An
unusually large breadth of land has been
sown, and we observe the same pleasing
prospect along the lines ofroad through
out tic whole length Of East Tennessee.

The Pa cific RaIIrOad,

The Pacific Railroads commenced carry
ing emigrants 10 California for $40 from
New-York or SO from Omaha on the Ist Of
September; and the experiment has proved
gratifying success. The number Of
emigrants has averaged 100 per day; they
are carried in good cars on the Freight train
and make the trip in less than ten days. We
predict that next season will witness large
increase of business on this train.
By the way: we have seen the receipts
of the UriOn Pacific least end) for sepsem-
Der up to the 24th, and they foot up $599, :
$50; indicating $4,000 for the month. -
As the running expenses are but $500 200
per month, We submit that those who are
SO eager to force the Company into bank

since it is selling its lands at the ra to of
$500, 900 per monthly. 7. ITi5une.

Guard 1he RnIIot BOX.

Let the ballot box be well guarded
on Tuesday next, that no frauds be per
petrated against the elective franchise.
There is no doubt that scheme is on
foot among some of the Democratic
candidates to run in a number of fraudu-
lent votes, TOney was, few evenings
since, soliciting certain person to vote
for him, but he steadily refused. He
then said to him that ST he would not
vote for him, he wanted him to turn
his back, at the polls, so that he could
not see everything that was done"
What did he mean unless that things
would be done that were not legal, and
which he did not want known. There
fore, watch the polls, and see that no
illegal voting is allowed.

what KIND of Men in office.

'l We presume and believe, that every
candid thinking man in this county, de-
sires to have competent and honest men
in all our county and State Offices.
The taxpayers, don't like 10 be de-
ceived, overcharged for fees nor swim
died out of their hard earned money, to
fatten a crew of spectators or iarpies
who fasten and feast and fatten on the
public treasury.
But the Democratic party machine
here is now so adjusted, that if bad
man, can succeed by false pretenses ol
fraud or bribery to obtain technical
nnomination, though ever SO unworthy
and dishonest the candidate has the
lever of the engine, lets on the steam
and the machine wheels him straight
way to position, from which he car
reach the peoples money. And wher
he does reach and appropriate it to hi
own use, the same. lever stops the
mouths of those, whose complaint alone
would remedy the evil.
Thus cur county is bled, thus th'
peoples money squandered. And 81
it will be until the good men Of tn,
dominant party, wake up, and either
smash the machine, or control it fO
a better purpose.
The difference in the merits of mel
composing the two county tickets thi
year is SO marked, SO palpable and 81
well known, and party rancord so mucl
abated that we indulge the wish bu
without much hope that the sensibl,
Democrats, may aid in correcting til,
abuses of the treasury which now pre-
vail.

Gen. Sam Carey.

Spoke his piece, on Tuesday night
last, in Mammoth Hall. The hall con
tained about 800 persons, about halt,
perhaps more than half of whom, were
Republicans. His Democratic auditors
did not pay him much respect, how
ever, but every now and then some of
them would get up and march out.
This annoyed the horney-hand Samuel,
the great laborer, (who never works,
except to make speeches at $50 each,
very much, and he would cease his
TRADE, and invite those who wished to
go to go now. They did not 90 very
well, but when he got his "mill sgoing"
again, another squad would leave,to his
evident discontinue. They had evi-
IDENTIFY been reading his aDear Nixon"
letter. The Republicans sat it out and
were his most respectful listeners, while
he prated in favor of Republication, de-
nounced the National Banks lied about
the public debtand endeavored to blind
his audience by one-sided statements
which be knew to be false.
Sam processes to be the friend of the
Ia5Oring man, sports kid gloves, adorns
himself in broadclotb, and avoids the
touch of the laborer lest his hands may
become soiled, except when he canvas
ses the State as labor champion for
which he receives pay at the rate of
$50 per speech. This he does and
this he gets for trying to misIead the
working man, and advance the fortunes
of Demagogue. 1t is a sufficient an
swer to his assaults upon the National
debt, and its manner of payment, to
quote what the Boston Herald, a Dem
ocratic working mems organ says. 1t
tells the wOrkingmen that they make
a grave mistake when they resolve in
favor of paying the National debt in
greenbacks, and adds:
eIn fact, such a payment is no pay
ment at all until the greenbacks them
selves are redeemed, and it would vir-
tually amount to the reputation of the
interest of the debt. 1t is of vital i'm
portance to the workingmen, as to all
classes, that the national currency be
preserved inViolate, and that the credit
should be appreciated to the gold stand
ard as soon as possible"
