The New York San, the personal
organ of Mr. Tilden, on inauguration
day had its flag at half mast with the
Union down-the signal of distress
"A visible token of the anguish of
the railroad lawyer, lately candi-
date for the Presidency. An Irish
man, named McDuffy, to whom the
sight of the old flag IN that position
was not agreeable, walked into the
office of the managing man of the
lSun, Mr.. England, and demanded
that the flag beputright sideup ortak-
en- down. He was ordered out of the
office of course, and started to go,
when England followed and thought
10 hasten his exit by tremendous
kick. That was serious mistake,
Tor McDutfy, as the typical Ireland,
turned about and gave England a
most beautiful thrashing. SO the
flag remained as it was, to signify
the additional misfortunes that had
oyertaken the San establishment.

Some of the complacent candidates for
Governor, who have been decorated by
over-enthuslastic organs with the title of
walk over candidates and reclamation
nominees, are beginning to see, with a
SILVER, that Gov. Newbold is growing
TOO fast, and that he was too strong q
candidate at tie start to be elbowed oil
the track with a nudge, Of TO be whisked
out of public sight with wink.-Sfafe
Register.
This accords with the idea which
we have entertained from the first;
that when the issue comes to be de-
cided Gov. Newbold will be found
to be very strong candidate. 1t is
not improbable that some of the can
didates. who seemed to be having it
all their own way at the beginning,
may be among the latest in the race
at the outcome. There is plenty Of
time for deliberation, and it is not
probable that the Republicans ofIowa
will allow themselves to be taken Off
their feet by a whirl of stimulated
enthusiasm, for any man.

Is the Senate on Tuesday, the
subject OF debate being the question
of the admission of Kellogg as a
Senator from Louisiana, Mr.. Blaine
made one of his Enthusiastically
fiery and audacious harangues,
which is interpreted as note of de-
Gancc to the southern policy enun-
ciated in the inaugural of President
Hayes. If Mr. Blaine has deliberate
ly chosen to place himself at the
head of the carpet-bag element of
the party, he will probably find that
he is prcsuming too far on his own
personal popularity. The Republi-
can party has chivalrous regard
for Mr.. Blaine, but the better part of
it, with the country at large, endorse
rs cminently wise and just, the views
held by the President regarding the
paci6cation of the South, and will
sustain him in the enforcement of
bis policy. If Mr.. Blaine chooses to
stand in the way, and insist upon
the retention Of a policy, which has
proved abortive for the end intend
cd, a policy which requires con-
stan; array of force behind it, and
which has resulted in little else than
anarchy and confusion, the conse-
qucnces will be such az will not en-
nance his popularity or minister to
his ambition.

present, opinion will widely vary as
to the wisdom of the several conclu-
sions announced by that tribunal.
This is to be ant cipated in every iu-
stance where causes of dispute are
made the subject OF arbitration un-
der the forms Of law. Human judg-
ment is never unvarying, and is rare
ly regarded As otherwise than wrong
by the unsuccessful party to the COLI
test. The fact that two great politi-
cal parties have in this way settled
a dispute in regard to which good
men differ as to the law, no less than
as to the proper course to be pursued
in solving the question in controver-
sy, Is the occasion for general rejoic-
ing. Upon one point there is entire
unanimity in public sentiment-that
conflicting claims to the Presidency
must be amicably and peacefully set
tied, and that when so adjusted the
general acquiescence of the nation
ought surely to follow. 1t has been
reserved for a government of the
people. where the right of suffrage is
universal, to give to the world the
first example in history Of great ma
ton, in the midst of struggle Of OPP
posing parties tor power, hushing its
party tumults to yield the issue of the
contest to adjustment, according to
the forms of law.
A FINAL bipartisan APPEAL.
Taking for guidance that divine
hand by which the destinies Of ma
tons are shaped, l call upon you,
Senators, Representatives, judges,
fellow citizens, here and everywhere,
to unite with me in an earnest effort
to secure to our country the bless
ings, not only of material prosperity,
but of justice, peace and union-a
union depending not only upon the
CONSTANTS of force, but upon the
loving devotion of a free people; that
all things may be SO ordered and set.
tied upon the surest foundations,
that peace and happiness, truth and

and piety, may be established among
us for all generations.

of fire. On Tuesday, OF this week,
at an early hour in the evening,a fire

RUTHERFORD 3. HAYES was on
Monday of this week, inaugurated as
President Of the United States, with
all the pomp and peageautry usually
attendant upon such occasions. A
grand procession composed CT mill
tary and citizens, with flying banners
and inspiring music, marched from
the west end Of Washington past
the White House to the Capitol.
The conspicuous feature Of the pro-
cession, was the carriage containing
Gov. Hayes, President Grant and
Secretary Morrill,, the occupants of
which were loudly cheered during
the whole route. The Senate Cham
Der was crowded with 8 brilliant
host, large share of which were
ladies dressed magnlticently. The
diplomatic corps were out in full
logging of gold lace and embroidery,
officers of the army were present in
full uniform. At noon precisely, the
President elect entered the Chamber
arm in arr, with Gen. Grant, and,
when the Senate wss called to Or
der, President Hayes delivered his
inaugural address, after which the
oath of Office was administered by
Chief Justice Waite, who, with the
other members of the Supreme
Court, except Clifford and Field,
were present, clad in their gowns Of
of Office. The evening was devoted

Fully 5000 people were in line. No
disturbance or excess of any kind
marred the harmony or pleasure of
the day.

THE Democrats talk about the par
tisanship of the Republican members
of the Electoral Commission, but it
was reserved for the Democratic
Justices of that body, Messrs. Cliff
ford and Field, to furnish the mean
est and most bigoted exhibition OF
that quality extant. While the other
members of the Supreme Court at
tended the Inauguration ceremonies,
in body. clad in their official robes,
thus adding i.npressiveness and dig
naty to the occasion, Clifford and
Field alone refused to take part, and
were conspicuous by their absence.

the part OF any member of that

THE INAUGURAL.

We are sure that no candid and
unbiased man, will rise from the
perusal of the inaugural address of
President Hayes, found in our col
ums this week, without a profound
conviction that it is an altogether ad-
mirable document. 1t has the flavor
of his letter Of acceptance, a docu
ment that received more commenda.
tons from men of all parties, than
any other issued during the campaign.
The inaugural shows that the views
enunciated in the letter of acceptance
are yet neld by President Hayes,
and that he honestly intends to carry
them out to the extent of his ability
in the administration of the govern
ment. He still insists that the
Southern States require honest and
wise local selfgovernment, founded
on implicit recognition of, and main
tainance OF the political and civil
rights of all citizens, white and
black. He would do away with a
policy that necessarily arrays one
race against another, and for thi.
purpose he appeals for the united
and cordial cooperation of whites
and blacks in graduating the color
line.
In regard to reform in the Civil
Service, President Hayes is equally
explicit and equally sound. He oc'
cupies the most advanced ground OH
this subject, and would return to the
principles and practices of the toun'
ders of the government, who neither
required or expected partisan service
of public offices, aud who did no,
endorse in precept, or practice the
idea that the offices should be re-
wards for political work. These
views, are OF course, distasteful ia
the horde of office seekers, who
crowded to Washington to lay siege
to the new President, but they will
be endorsed by the public sentiment
of the country.
The first official utterance of Pres
ident Hayes, is well calculated tc
win for him the confidence Of tht
whole country, as an honest, sincere
and patriotic man, who intends te
do his duty tearlessly, yet kindly
and who is embued with rare sense
Judgment, firmness and self-reliance

One sentence of President Hayes
inaugural, is worthy of preservation.
1t is: ale serves his party best who
serves his country best" Not all of
our public men appreciate the truth
that it is always polite to do right.

whatever that the next week or
month may not throw them out upon
the world as coldly as had they new
er rendered service. The people are
concerned only as to the President,
while the clerk realizes that his fu-
ture is determined only by the Cabi-
net officer. Mr.. Hayes, the Presi-
ident elect, arrived this morning and
was met at the depot by large
crowd. He made no speech and
merely bowed to the people before
entering his carriage. He was driv-
en- at once to Senator Sherman's,
where sumptuous breakfast was
laid for HIM and few intimate
personal friends. A large number
of ladies and gentlemen have been
paying their respects to him as the
new President. FELIX.
