InaUgurated.

The Inauguration Of President Hayes
took place Monday at the Capitol, in
Washington. The oath was admins
tered by Chief Justice Waite. The new
President, when he stepped forward to
read his inaugural address, and also
when he had finished the reading, was
enthusiastically applauded by the peo-
pie. There was present at the cere-
mony most brilliant and distinguished
assemblage, including Gen. Grant, the
heads of the departments, Justices of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
the General Of the Army, members of
the Diplomatic body, Senators and Con-
gressmen, Governors and ex>Governors
Of several States, and other officials.
The parade, which was very successful,
was witnessed by thousands of people,
and the torchlight possession at night
was very large.
