WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4.-The inaugura
| address OF the new President has been nearl,
completed, and there are not likely to be an,
considerable changes. There is good reason tt
believe that 1t is in every respect III harmon,
with his letter of acceptance. The Southern
question is the one to which chief attention i:
directed, aud 1t receives TINT broad aud catholic

ful observance OF the Thirteenth, Fourteenth,
aud Fifteenth Amendments, the securing to
the freedmen of all civil rights, protection OF

of both classes OF citizens. To carry this out.
the efforts of the new Cabinet will be directed
immediately, rather than to filling offices. Those
citizens anxious to take the places of ofri,e-
holders will, therefore, take notice and save
