to make all necessary ar
angements. The Legislature met in
oint session at one o'clock P. NJ, and
vas called to order by 1t. Gov. Sling
Mr.. williams on behalf OF
he Committee, stated that he had
allied on acting Governor Blasdsl and
invited him to attend the ceremonies,
,ut that he tBlasdel) was unable to be
present, owing to his laboring under a
severe illness. Mr.. Williams also
stated that he had procured the SER
,ices of a military band. At quarter
east one the Joint Convention marched
the Ormsby House, where Q carriage
was drawn up, and formed In process
sion. Behind It, ranged on the Side
walk from tho hotel door to the car
were the members Of the Gov
ernor's and Brig. Gen. Winters Staff,
in uniform. Without much delaythe
Governor and Lieutenant Governor
elect, escorted by the Committee.
smergsd from the hotel and entered
the carriage, when that military band
Of Tom Williams, consisting of q fife
and drum, struck up something that
sounded m~arvelously like the Dead
and the little old one-horse
procession moved on its way to the
Capitol, arrived ut which the process
sion and spectators entered the Assem-
bly, Chamber, where, as soon as order
was obtained, Governor Bradley was
introduced by Lieutenant Governor
Slingerland, who, on behalf. OF Gov
ernor Blasdel, presented him with the
great seal Of the State. Governor
Bradley stepped forward, on being III
troduced, and read from a printed pa
per his inaugural address, which, as
Il has already been published In your
paper, I need not give. At tho con-
of his printed address, he re-
marked "And now, gentlemen, |
am ready for business" The Joint
Convention was now declared ad-
journed, and the Senate adjourned to
the Senate Chamber, where Lieutenant
Denver was introduced and
also read a short speech, upon which
Mr.. Slingerland gracefully retired.
The whole affair was characterized by
a noticeable lack Of enthusiasm. The
OH the Capitol was not even flying,
and the only flag which | noticed fly
ing in the town was that Of Mart.
Reese, In front of his saloon; and the
only cheer l heard was one given on the
steps Of the Capitol by an enthusiastic
Democrat, for the Democratic party,
and which met with a very light
wasted response. There was no firing
of cannon, and the procession follow
ing behind that mournful fife and drum
seemed more like q funeral procession
than anything else. But l suppose tho
thing Is in accordance. with Tom.
Williams policy of retrenchment.
Tho Ball. .a-a,
This NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. event took
place last evening, at Moore s. Par
ker's Hall, and in spite Of the weather,
which was miserable, vas a magnif-
cent and heightened affair-most too
hlgh-toned for me; but l reckon 1t
suited the brass-mounted fellows Of the
militia. The hall Is the finest In the
State-that is, it is the finest and most
commodious which l have ever seen In
the State. The floor was entirely COW
cred with canvas, and on my entrance
occupied by about fifty couples,
and presented to the eye Of one just
entering a magnificent scene. never
saw so many handsomely dressed
women at one time in my life ; but
then, you know, Fms husky, and don't
know much about these heightened
folks anyhow. Aftor I had kind Of got
broke in to the surrounding magnit-
cence, l took n stroll around the hall
to take observations. Now Jenkins
himself was there, and as l amt much
posted on "women fiXin's," l can't
give q detailed description of the dress
Of every lady who was present; but
the most noticeable ones Ito mel will
give. am enabled to do this through
the kindness Of q lady friend, who
posted me on the French. 10 my no
ton, and also to that Of my lady friend,
Mrs. Frank Dr. was the most richly
attired lady in the room. She wore a
cherry-colored MORE antique, court
train, trimmed In point applique, and
white satin Marie Antolnette skirt,
with pink buds, set In
point. The next most noticeable
dresses were those Of Mrs. j. P.
C--s and Miss Lily Tt, OF Virginia,
consisted Of lavender satin
trimmed In point applique-to my
notion the neatest dresses In the room,
and at the same time elegant. Mrs.
Col. X. II. TT was also very richly
dressed In q canary-colored moire, with
white satin overskirt. Mrs. A. q.
Cd, of White Pine, was noticeable
for the simplicity, yet beauty, OF her
dress, which was a white silk alpaca
short dress, rutfed and scolloped and
trimmed with silver fringe. Some OF
the ladies said 1t was ont Of date ; but
L suited me, and to my notion was 2
of beauty and neatness, and
only such a dress rs White Pine ladies
have for street wear, Mt that. Mrs.
Go, of Carson, wore q rich black
silk, which we'll set off her peculiar
STYLE of beauty !; and her sister, Mrs.
IN was attired In a gray gros-grain
silk, which set Off her fine figure to
great advantage. r4
Tho Belle.
A great diversity of opinion existed
among the gentlemen Us to who was
entitled to the appellation Of belle of
the room. 1 was for a long time wayer-
Ing between Miss CT, of Silver
City, and Miss LilyT-t, of Virginia.
The former, a natural blonde, Of over
average hight, was neatly and unosten-
tatiously attired in a blue dress with
crepe trimming. The latter is . slen-
der brunette; her dress has been de-
above. But there were others
who contended that Miss RI was
the handsomest; and some Of the
fellows contended that
Miss CT should baar off the palm.
