owing to the hum of conversation and
comment and the pressure OF the
crowds, who kept upa constant stTug
gle TO get near the platform. When
ever the President paused or empha
sized a sentence, cheers went up from
the multitude. At the conclusion of
the address the oath of Office was ad-
ministered to the President by Chief
Justice Waite, both standing with I'M
covered heads at the front of the
platform.
The inaugural ceremonies being
completed, the procession was re-
formed and returned to the Executive
Mansion, escorting the President, who,
together with the ex-President and
Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, chairman
of the committee of arrangements, &C.
cupied the open barouche that con-
veyed the party to the Capitol. Thou
sands of persons lined Pennsylvania
avenue TO witness the display. The
President was frequently cheered,
which compliment he acknowledged by
raising his hat.
OATH OF OFFICE TAKEN SATURDAY.
The first and principal ceremony be-
lOuEluR W litC luduS uAdAAOusbaC o0Otah
ing in of the new President was con-
summated Saturday, which, until
| Sunday. was profound secret. 1t was
| accomplished at the executive Mansion
between the hours Z and S Saturday
evening. The ceremony was a matter
of some discussion between the Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court,th President-elect,th the Attorney
General, and very few prominent
| friends of Gov. Hayes, and the conclu'
sion was reached that such course was
advisable, though it was not anticipat.
ed that an exigency would arrive under
which, in case there was an inter
regnum in the executive office, the
peace of the country would be imperil
ed. IL was therefore determined by
Gov. Hayes, acting under the advice
of his friends, to take the oath of office
Saturday, and consequently the obi
CATION was taken before Chief Justice
Waite at the hour mentioned. The
ceremony was of the very quietesI
character, the only persons present
being the Chief Justice, who admins
tered the oath and the Presidential
who subscribed thereto. 1t was takeI
in the Rad Parlor, in the Executive
Mansion, an apartment in which al
diplomatic and important ceremonie:
are conducted.

The closing day of Congress was
marked by several disorderly scenes. An al
tercation took place between Lamar and Doug
lass in the hail OF the House, just alter the
adjournment OF the Democratic caucus. 1t had
its origin in the intoxication OF Douglass,
which caused Lamar, chairman OF the caucus
to rule him out The order exasperated Doug
lass. who at the termination OF the caucus
assailed Larmar with vituperation, and but
Tor Intervention OF friends, according to re-
ports, Lamar would undoubtedly have shot
him. Glover chairman OF the real estate pool
committee assaulted correspondent OF a
Baltimore paper Tor rejecting on him. and
the correspondent in turn assaulted the Ser
geant- at Arms Of Glover's committee for CIV
ng information as to the authorship Of the
article Still later Mr.. Page was urging s2o0,
600 appropriation for fire proof building tor
the National Museum when Dir. Morrison said
it was vicious and perniciOus measure. Mr..
page who was standing within two feet ol
him, in the area, said that it was not true,
Whereupon Morrison caught him by the
throat with one hand. Nofurther demonstra-
ton was made, the members around quietly
separating the disputants, and business went
on as If no such interruption had taken place.
The bill was rejected.
