WASHINGTON, March 5.-FELLow
CITIZENS: We have assembled to re-
peat the public ceremonial begun by
Washington, observed by all my pre-
deoessors, and time-honored custom
which marks the commencement of a
new term in the presidential Office.
Called to the duties of this great
trust, l proceed, In compliance with
usage, to announce some of the lead
ing principles on the subjects that
now chiefly engage the public atten-
ton, by which IL Is my desire TO be

administration, but rather to speak of
the motives which should animate us
and to suggest certain important
things to be attained In accordance
with our institutions, and essential to
the welfare of every country.
At the outset of tho discussions
which preceded the recent presiden-
tial election, it seemed to me fitting

+ 1t is evident that Story's old, infa-
nous organ, was only engaged to
toot for Tilden during the campaign.
1t will be recollected that il daily
gave abundant reasons, almost up to
the day Of the meeting of the ST
Louis Convention, why Tilden should
not be nominated.
As soon as he was nominated, the
Times Topped over, and during the
campaign it has been one of the most
obsequious supporters of Mr.. Tildcn.
Now the Times is abusing Tilden with
renewed venom. The conclusion is
inevitable that the Times was only
hired for the campaign.
1t will be somewhat instructive te
note the effect this latest flapdoodlt
of the worst representative democrat
ic paper in the country, will have up
on its circulation among respectable
democratic readers.

LONDON, March G.-President Hayes
inaugural is published in full and
creates very favorable impression.
The Times says: "Greater part OF
1t was of a character that might have
been well received by men of all par
ties"
The Daily NewS says: "The prin-
ciplcs President Hayes enunciates are
excellent
The Telegraph says: "We do not
imagine that even his candid oppo-
nents will complain of the tone and
temper of the address which deals
with questions of the highest moment.
Hayes speaks with the dignity and
frankness becoming the Chief Magis-
trate of a great people and points the
way to ends which if they can be ac-
complished, will rebound to his hon
or, and that Of his country.

Mr.. Jeremiah S. Black is the execu-
tor Of the last will and testament of
the late venerable tradition called the
democratic party. All other distin-
guished friends of the deceased "a
member of the Blair family excepted)
turned and strobe away when they
perceived that the last hope of surviv-
al had disappeared. Black is not
that kind of man. Faithful, stead
fast, answering in his fealty to the
ancient Bourbon regime, he has been
its uncompromising champion thro'
every yicissitude Of fortune, its coun-
selor in prosperity, its defender in
adversely, and its comforter in the
shadow Of the tonab. When the last
trumpet shall sound calling upon the
graves to give up their dead, Jere
Black will step briskly forth, recon-
mending the old Bourbon shades to
fall into line and march forth to a
renewal of the old contest under the
same old banner of the dead and
musty ages.
This is what Mr.. Black announced
in his funeral address over the coffin
Of his Bourbon idol in the last sitting
Of the fifteen executioners, called the
Bradley Tribunal. "The democracy
would wait and bide its time," said
the uncomfortable Black, who added
to that announcement the original
observation that "the mills of the
gods grind slowly, but they grind ex-
ceeding small" Then, in tone of
0winous import, he concluded with
the announcement that 1--WE" (mean-
ing himself and Montgomery Blair,
probably s'shall turn on the water
pretty soon !"
Encased in its inflexible sareopha-
gus, like Barbarossa and his mailed
knights in their cavern of stone, "the
democracy" has been waiting and
biding its time for many years. Four
times the mythical raven has put in
its appearance and cYoaked the word
ssspoiis - causing the rock-rooted
sleepers to start up and inquire if
their time had come. Four times the
reply has been unfayorable, and "the
democracy" has gone ON hiding its
time. In the meantime, the mills of
the gods have been slowly grinding,
producing an effect upon Mr.. Blacks
waiting political antiquities not un-
like that of the mills in which they
grind the mummies of ancient Egypt
ians into fine sort of fertilizing sub
stance.
There would seem to be no need
that Messrs. Black and Blair should
turn on any more water-p0Wcr, or
Wind-pOwer. The mills OF the gods
are pulverizing the Evolutionary old
democratic grist pretty effectually as
itis.-Chicdgo Times.

PACKARD TO GRANT.

New ORLEANS, March 2.-The fol-
lowing is Packard's telegram to
which the president replied through
the war Office to-day: TO President
Grant, Washington, ID. c. State
mcnts are authoritatively made here
that you have announced your pur-
pose to withdraw the United States
forces from the various positions to
which they have been assigned in the
interest of peace and public order in
this city and state, so soon as the cleo
toral vote shall have been declared.
1t is further stated that assurances
have been given on tho part of Mr..
Nichols and his armed supporters
who, 1 may state, are idcntically the
same organization that under the
name of white league rose in insur-
rection against the state government
in 1874 and were suppressed by your
order-that If the support of the
United States troops should be with
drawn the government of which am
the head will disintegrate and Mr..
Nichols would be installed without
violence or bloodshcd. 1t is current-
~ reported and believed here, on the
other hand. that the white league are
under orders and will attack the
state house rs soon as the troops are
withdrawn from the city, and it is
their purpose by humiliation of the
officers of the government 10 leave no
Republican state government for your
| successor to recognize. The validity
of my title as governor having been
passed upon by the only tribunal
known to the state laws, and being
now confirmed by the national cleo
toral tribunal, / deem it my duty to
maintain the government by all the
means at my command. therefore
most respectfully but earnestly re-
quest to be informed whether any
changes are contemplated by you in
the orders heretofore given TO the
general commanding the United
States troops in this state, in order
that may be able to take such meas
ures as the circumstances and my du-
ty as chief executive of the state may
seem to require, and I again most
respectfully request nj your hands
the recognition of the legal state g07-
eminent of Louisiana.

THE Silver Commission just before
the adjournment of Congress, made
their report. A majority of the Com
mission favor the double standard OF
silver and gold, and make strong
plea for it. 1t seems to us that there
ought not to be two sides to this ques-
ton in this country, at this time, but
that all ought to favor the rcmoncti-
cation Of silver. We are clear that
an overwhelming majority of the
people favor such double standard.
