inauguration Of the Chicf Justice
eli the United states.

The administration of the oath Of office
to Morrison X. Waite, Chief Justice of the
United States, and his appearance upon the
supreme bench in the seat made vacant
nine months ago by the death Of Judge
Chase, wae the principal event Of the day
at the capitol, Wednesday. The simple
ceremony took place Mt noon. The little
court room, which, although scarcely
larger than the finest of the new commit
tee rooms in the capitol, once lliccd for
the senate of the United States, was en-
iirrly too small to accommodate the COM
pauy which gathered to witness the inter
csting but simple proceedings. \ large
nuMhcr Of ladies' were among the throng.
There were prominent lawyers by the
dozen, and both wings Of the capitol were
represented by prominent and well known
members. The faces Of William NJ. Ev-
arts, Judge lockwood, lloar, Thomas j.
Durant, Representative Garfield, Senator
| Sherman, and many Ohio members were
recognized in the crowd The as
sociate justices were announced by
the marshal of the court in the
usual fashion, and precisely at twelve
they settled into their seats and
awaited the advent of their new chief. lie
followed them, wearing his robes of Office
and took seat near the desk Of the clerk,
while The ancient and formal proclamation
inviting all persons having business to
draw near was made The administering
of the oath followed and was exceedingly
simple The clerk, Mr.. Middleton, read
the commission Of appointment, at the end
of which Justice Waite arose and read
in clear and vigorous tones the following
oath:
|, Morrison r. Waite, do solemnly sweal
that | will administer justice without re-
spect to persons and do equal right to the
poor and to the rich, and that | will faith
fully and impartially discharge and per
form all the duties incumbent on me az
chef justice of the Supreme court of tn,
Cniicd States according to the best of my
abilities and understanding, agreeably t
. the con s'ltltion and laws of the UnteC
1 States. So Aelp me God!

CLOSING over Of wrong dOings on account
of party. The credit mobiler inyes,gat-
ing committee commenced their labors
with closed doors, and the regulations of
more men were blasted thereby than would
have been possible with double the amount
of positive evidence given openly and pub
lcly. When too late they threw open
their doors to the public, but the harm was
already done That example alone ought
to have convinced Congress of the futiliiy
Of that kind Of work. We don't suppose
that this Jayne or moety investigation Will
amount to anything or was intended TO
amount to anything, but it looks suspicious
when the public is shut out of the commit
tee room. Jayne, on the first day of his en-
animation. showed that he was of that na-
turc among which spies and lniormers are
found. that is. in fact, that he was
an iu4olent bully. and the people are
entitled 10 his testimony in fun,
the manner Of giving it, etc, etc,
that they may intelligcntly judge be-
tween him and the merchants and impOr-
tcrs of Kew York city. If the inycstiga-
ton is 10 be full fair and impartial there
is no need OF secrecy If moi, then there is
no necessity for Jaync's testimony or the
Investigation.

Vic Centennial Eli.

The centennial exhibition bill drags its
slow length in the Senate. There is no
reason to change the opinion that it will be
committed to the committee on appropria-
tions to report bill providing for ma
tlonal cXhibiion and the cost Of the same.
In the c1ulse Of Wednesdays discussion
Mr.. Thurman made vigorous protest
against that specious line Of argument that
has come to the surface in the Senate on
this measure, that Congress had 40 power,
under that clause Of the eighth section of
the Constitution to provide for the general
welfare, TO take money out of the national
treasury for public exhibitions. The Ohio
senator made it very clear that Congress
could only provide for general welfare by
exercising the powers expressly conferred
by the Constitution and was prohibited
from going outside and substituting for
those powers some specific grant of power.

The transportation Bill.

In the House ON wednesday MI Arthur,
democratic member from Kentucky, finish
ed his speech against the railroad Transport
tation bill, and Mr.. Iiurlbut of Illinois,
made long speech in favor of the bill.
IIo argued in favor of liberalily Of cons,i-
tutional Interpretation which has not often
been heard ON the floors of Congress. Con-
siderable interest seems to he manifested in
this measure, by the western members es-
pecally, but yet scarcely mere than one
fourth of the House have listened to the
speeches thus far made. The eastern mem
bers generally seem to care little about the
bill The debate will probably run on for
a week or ten days. There is no prospect
whatever that the bill will be passed.
Even the members Of the committee say
that they do expect TO get it through the
House. They cherish a hope that so much
of the bill as proposes bureau of railway
statistics may be adopted, but even of this
they are not certain Mr., Arthur's speech
in favor of freedom of internal commerce
from legal restrictions is regarded as one OF
the very ablest speeches of the session, EN-
bracing pretty much all needs to be said on
that side.

Reason Dethroned-A Woman's Folly.

The San Juan Times tells the fol-
lowing sad story: J. +. L. Eichel, an
old and respected citizen of San Juan,
has gone to Stockton to- live in the
lunatic asylum. He was taken to
Nevada last week for examination be-
fore the County Judge and was ad-
judged insane. His is sad fate, and
ought to be warning to young girls
not to trifie with the affections of
weak minded man. The story of Eli
cheps insanity, or the cause of it, can
be soon told. Eichel, by dint of hon
esty and hard labor had obtained a
good name and some fine property
here. He fitted himself up a
charming residence, and was sur
rounded with every luxury known to
our climate. He had farm connected
with his residence, and also kept
dairy. He was Il Woodworking, inof-
fensive man, and until one of the
daughters of Eve whispered into his
ear, he appeared to be content to live
bachelors life. He was a hospitable
man as we'll as worker. One day,
about year ago, when blackberries
were abundant in-his garden, and ripe,
he invited some ladies to visit him at
his residence and partake of some
blackberries and cream. They did So
The invitation was repeated and ac-
cepted again and again. One of these
young ladies thought it would be great
fun to captivate this bachelor, and
suiting the action to the word, she set
herself about it. She was charming
girl, and we'll suited for the part she
undertook to play. Mr.. Eichel be-
came attached to her and sought
her hand in marriage. She prom
ised to marry him, and afterwards,
when she saw she had gone
too far, she retracted. This so preyed
upon his mind that he became de-
ranged. The girl left for another Sec
ton of the State, but that did not
help matters. Eichel worshipped her,
worshipped the very ground she
walked on. He mourned her absence.
He mourned his unlucky fate. He
suffered his mind to dwell upon the
girl and his melancholy fate, until
reason became dethroned. His insan-
ity was at first of mild type, but as
time progressed he became dangerous.
He imagined that God had revealed
himself to him, and gave him a mis-
sion to perform. That mission was to
preach and make known to all the
world that Christ would soon come to
set up his New Jerusalem on earth.
He was crazed. Eichel is a man Of
about forty years of age, and native
of Prussia.

light which dawns on travellers in
