Tho inaugural AddEess-oplnlenS
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun,
No one nowadays expects q great deal in sn tn'
augural address. That the President should Dc.
liver such An address al the commencement OF
each four years tsFm has, In the abssnos OF any
positive regulation upon The subject, erpwn INTO
customs aud all customary addresses are apt in
time to run into formalities Like the Qaeen's
speech, which her Majestys ministers put into the
royal mouth at the opening of each session OF Par
lament, the am OF the Inaugural address seems
to be more and more TO touch lightly, in cempre-
hensive but not too definite phrase the leading
topics upon which it is expected that the President
should say something. The address Is like pro-
gramme which promises good deal IN general
sort of way, without o uniting the speaker 10
too specific measure or manner of performance
All these characteristics the present inaugural OF
General Grant has, like that delivered four years
age, in an eminent degree.
That the President should close his address
with a reference to the popular verdict In his ia
vor, his hest vindication from 1.-The abuse and
SANDER with which he says he has been assailed,
gas perhaps but natural, under all the circum-
,tancas, Whatever may be thought of it as matter
of strict taste.

The InauguratIon Ball.

II all that IS sa.l Of the grand Inauguration
tail, at Washington, ON tuesday night, it must
have been very disaSreeable place for delicate
young ladies and young meE uled to comfortable
quarters. The correspondent of the Tribune
asks "was ii a ball 10 a barn" "A mighty hall
large erough p hold 5000 people, glowed with
light aud the colots Of countless flags and coats
OF arms From these the imagination sought a
little warmth in pace Of dull reality of com
fort. There was touching effort made to warm
the hall with steam, an effort rendered remarka
be by lis failure.
The place was icy cold. Drafts wandered
malevolenily everywhere and a small gale rusl-
up snd down the supper room, where gorgeous
variety of cold things froze the blood with hor-
ror. The pretty shoulders and the little noses
Of the ladies were blue,and the fair young cadets
were, il possible, many degrees SITTER and
straighter than usual .....
Here was the strange vision for America Of a
party Of negro men and women attired like birds
OF Paradise, behaving with the utmost ease and
grace and pTomenedirg with people Of fairer
tint.
One Of the prettiest young girls in the ball

pins in her smooth black hair. and an indescri-
bable national costume which looked more ike
an embroidered bag than anything else.n
The crowd grew steadily and danced indus
ulUusly until 11.S0, when the ROYAL Family |
appeared with the Cabinet and Foreign Min |
listers, and walking up the centre of the hall |
through lane OF gazers, ascended the plat /
form Of the throne. The President smiled moi. |
neither cid he speak, as the ball committee Is
coIted him mournfully to his post.
The Cabinet looked as if il were going 70 a /
funeral, aud the wives were all extremely |
solemn and very beautifully dressed Good I
reason had they for seriousness. When they |

CHANGE OF DATE.

The time for the meeting of the stockhold-

Railroad Company, and Of the stockholders
of the Carolina Narrow Gauge Railroad Com.
pany, advertised to be held at Hickory Tav-
ern on the 7th of May next, for the purpose
of consolidating the two com panies, has been
changed from the above date, to Wednesday
the 14th of May. This change has been
made, as we understand, in order to accom-
modate number of persons in North Carroll
ma, whose duties preclude the possibility of
their attending on the 6rst-named day. We
learn the attendance from Chester will be
large, and the friends of the enterprise ex-
press the hope that York will also be largely
represented. Not only is the consolidation
of the two Companies to be effected, but much
other important business will be brought be-
fore the meeting.
