Mr. R. B. HAYES was sworn in as
President of the United States on Sat-
urday evening, March Sd. between Z

It was done privately and kept a secret
from the people, but it did leak out in

some excitement for time. Beautiful,

President Hayes Inaugural Address.

EKe1huemS AAyes, AnuuBnHA AuNEebS.
The following is the full text Of Pres
ident Hayes inaugural address:
Felop- Citizens We have assembled
to repeat the public ceremonial begun
by Washington, observed BY all my
predecessors, and now a time-honored
custom which marks the commence
ment Of the Presidential Office Called
to the duties of this great trust, l pro-
ceed, in compliance with usage. to an-
nounce some Of the leading principles
on the subjects that now chiefly engage
the public attention by which it is my
desire to be guided in the discharge Of
those duties. I shall not undertake to
lay down irrevOcable principles or meas
ures Of administration, but rather to
speak Of the motives which should ami
mate US, and to suggest certain impor-
taut ends to be attained 10 accordance
with our institutions and essential to
the welfare Of our country.
At the outset Of the discussion which
preceded the recent Presidential election
it seemed fitting that l should fully
make known my sentiments on several
of the important questions which then
appeared to demand the consideration
Of the country Following the exam
pie and in part adopting the language
of one Of my predecessors. l wish now,
when every motive for misrepreseuta-
tion has passed away, to repeat what
was said before the election, trusting
that my countrymen will candidly weigh
and understand it, and that they will
feel assured that the sentiments declared
in accepting the nomination for the
Presidency will be the standard of my
conduct 10 the path before me, charged
as l now am with the grave and diff
cult task Of carrying them out in the
practical administration of the govern
ment, SO far as depends. under the con-
stitution and laws, on the Chief Execu-
tive Of the nation. The permanent
pacifcation Of the country upon such
principles and by such measures as will
secure the complete protection of all its
citizens in the free enjoyment of all their
constitutional rights is now the one sub
ject in our public affairs which all
thoughtful and patriotic citizens regard
as of supreme importance

THE GREAT QUESTION.

Many Of the calamitous effects Of the
tremendous revolution which has passed
over the Southern States still remain.
The immeasurable benefits which will
surely follow. sooner or later. the hearty
and generous acceptance Of the legiti-
mate results Of that revolution, have
not yet been realized Difficult and
embarrassing questions meet US at the
threshold of this subject. The people
of those States are still impoverished,
and the inestimable blessing Of wise,
honest and peaceful local self-govern-
ment is not fully enjoyed. Whatever
difference Of opinion may exist as to the
cause Of this condition of things, the
fact is clear that il the progress Of

reported the Senate bill extending the

proceeded to count the votes of Nevada

the count Of votes of New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina
and Ohio, without objection, for their

was reached objections were duly filed
to the count and al papers in the case
were passed over to the Electoral com:

the commission Kelly and Jencks ap-
peared for the Democrats, and NJ tchell

HAYES FOR PRESIDENT.

The electoral commission have so far
decided that they cannot 60 behind the
returns furnished by each state. That
each state itself must purge returns of
all frauds by means of its own laws and
board of canvassers and the result thus
attained is entitled to be counted as the
vote Of that state. Awhile since at the
time Of the appointment Of the commits
sion We predicted the declaration of
Tilden as President in case the COM
mission should 60 behind the returns.
We think the commission law under
which they acted would permit this.
But We had doubts of the law az con-
stitutioDal, and it seems that the com.
mission have virtually so decided
Nothing then has been gained by the
commission, more than would have
been attained by the count of the vote
in the usual manner, further than a
moro marked and explicit declaration of
the want of power in the commission
under the constitution to 20 behind the
result Of tho canvassing boards, This
may,'as it ought to, serve as means Of
allayinr excitement which otherwise
might have distracted the people. The
Republicans generally in the discussion
of the electoral bill claimed it to be un-
constitutional and opposed its passage,
while the democrats dissented from that
view BY large majority and favored
its passage and BY their vote it became
. law. They made their own bed, and
they cannot with consistency complain
now they are compelled to rest upon
it. We never could see the propriety
of bringing any portion of the supreme
judiciary Of the country to be part OF
the commission. It must inevitably
weaken their prestige for impartiality
among'a large class Of the American
people, AS matters now stand Hayes
will be inaugurated, the people, includ
ing the politicians, will acquiesce and
the business of the country progress
under him for the ensuing four years
IF this result is not in accordance with
the voice Of the people Of the states, i
is the fault Of the states themselves
where the frauds were committed, ant
not Of Congress or the electoral com
mission and the recreant states must
incur the blame.

Much has been said of the Imnaha
Valley since the talk about Joseph and
his band. Some have claimed it as
fine valley for settlement But we learn
from gentleman who has rode along
the stream for about 25 miles the fol-
lowing facts: The Imnaha creek takes
its rise in the Wallowa mountains and
flows north easterly emptying itself in
to the Snake river about eight miles
above the mouth of Salmon river. It is
quite large stream in many places
being two or three hundred feet wide
and discharges into the Snake much
water even at a low stage. The eleva-
ton Of the stream above the Snake at a
distance Of % miles from the junction
with the Snake is from 500 to 300
feet. 1t has no bottom lands of impor-
lance. A few little patches of few
acres are found. From the stream
back to the perpendicular bluff ada.
cent the land is in places half mile in
width on one side and perhaps few
hundred yards on the other and its sur.
face is at an angle Of about 500 or 600
from perpendicular and covered with
excellent grasses suitable for grazing
stock. From the upper edge Of these
grass slopes rises perpendicular bluffs
in stratified succession to the height Of
thousands Of feet, making access to the
valley very difficult except in few
places. This character OF the valley is
maintained for distance of about 35
miles along the stream as far as known to
our informant. The soil of the slopes il
good. The valley is we'll sheltered, and
being of much lower altitude is much
warmer than the high mountains and
table lands adjacent. Some winters the
snow fall in the valley will be II or Il
inches. During other winters mo-
much more than is experienced at Lew
iston. Our informant thinks it no Fl
place for settlement for farming pur
poses, although it would be good win
ter range for limited number of horse,
aud cattle. The ingress and egress t
and from the valley are so difficult ant
the valley SO isolated from any thorough
fare connecting with the outside worl'
that whatever products might be oh
tanned from the soil could not find
market that would be renumeratlve t
the producer. He is fully of the opiu
ion that the valley is only fit for stoc
grazing and limited, and inconvenien
for that purpose.
