CHANGING PRESIDENTS.
THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT ELECT
GARFIELD.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-lmmediately
after the work of organization OF the SEN
ate was completed it was announced that
the Senate, Supreme Court, and invited
guests would proceed to the east portico OF
the capitol TO participate in the ceremon-
les of the Inauguration OF the President
elect.
A procession was accordingly formed
and all the late occupants OF the floor OF
the Senate proceeded to the corridors
and rotunda to the place indicated.
At half past | o'clock the head OF the
procession, passing around the south
wing, reached the eastern front OF the
capitol. The Presidential carriage was
driven to the lower entrance OF the Sen
ate wing, and the President-elect accom-
panied by the Vice President-elect and
Senators Pendleton and Thurman, enter
ed the building and proceeded to the
Vice-President's room, where they re-
mained until IL clock, As early as 10
o'clock crowds began to assemble in
front of the platform erected on the steps
leading to the main entrance, and at ~
o'clock it was estimated that 50, 900
people were massed in front OF the bull
ding.
A the procession filed out through the
main corridor to the rotunda, the crowd
pouring down from the galleries soon
caused blockade, and finally breaking
in upon the procession, merged with It,
and passed On 10 the rotunda dense,
confused mass, Senators, Representatives
diplomats and oitizens without much re
gard 10 precedence.

THE NEW CABINET.
PRESIDENT GARFIELD MAKES Ills CABINET
AND THEY ARE CONFIRMED.
MIR. MACvEAGu FROM PENNSYLVANIA.

The seven wise men who for the next
four years are to help President Garfield
run the affairs of the nation have been
announced They are; James &. Blaine
of Maine, to be Secretary of State; Will
lam Window, to be Secretary of the
Treasury; Wayne MacVcagh, of Penn
sylvanla, to be Attorney General; Thom-
as l.. James, of New York, to be Post
master General, Samuel j. Kirkwood, of
Iowa, to be secretary of the Interior;
Robert I. Lincoln, of Illinois, to be Sec
retary of War; William H. Hunt, OF
Louisiana, Secretary of the Navy.
There was large attendance in the
galleries when the Senate met at noon.
on the 9TH. Everybody seemed to feel that
the day was to be one big with events.
Vice President Arthur took his seat and
was vigorously applauded. General Han
cock was given the privileges OF the
tloor,and Blaine offered resolution that
special committee of five Senators be
appointed by the Chair to take into con
sideration the mode of voting for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States, and the mode of counting and
certifying the vote, who shall report
such propositions for change in the
laws and Constitution rs may seem ex-
pedient; that said Committee have pow
er to sit during the recess of Congress,
and that they be directed to report on or
before the second Wednesday Of January
1882.
The galleries seemed to think that this
was the last time Mr.. Blaine would be
seen upon the floor as Senator, and so
they listened to his resolution attentively
and every eye was turned upon him.
lie had no sooner finished than Pendle-
ton arose and reported that the Presi-
dent would have something to commu-
nicate at o'clock. There was buzz in
the galleries. Everybody knew that
the Cabinet selections had been made.
There was nothing for the Senate to do
but to take a recess, and it took one un-
til the appointed hour. when the Sena-
tors came together again there was not
an inch of room TO spare in the CALLER
les. Blaine and Arthur, when they en-
tered, were 80 loudly applauded that SEN
ator Anthony considered it to be his du
ty to rebuke the offenders, which he did
80 well that the Vice President instruct
ed the Sergeant alarms to preserve or
der. The people had gathered for no
thing, however. They had only got five
minutes worth of Senatorial sight seeing
for their trouble when n message from
the President was received. 1t contain
ed the Cabinet appointments and imme
liately the galleries were cleared and the
Senate went into executive session and
before the doors were reopenod the names
had all been acted upon fayorably.

General Hancock attended the Inau-
gural ceremonies at Washington on the
4th. lie was enthusiastically received
on his arrival and loudly cheered where
ever he went. He sat on the platform
when the oath OF office was administer
ed to President Garfield and was among
the first to congratulate him. Only a
very narrow minded man would have
done otherwise.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1881-03-11

The appointment of Wayne MacVeigh
rs member of the new cabinet was not
a part of the machine programme. lie
was opposed by the bosses with Gamer
on ut the head Both the Senators and
many Republican Representatives signed
a paper asking the President to appoint
Mr.. Iarmer to n cabinet office, thus seek
ing to crowd MacVeagh out, but it did
not work. The only objection to him is
that he is not considered stolwart enough
for the ringsters.

The last act of r. b. Hayes while act
ing as President was to veto the Fund
ing BILL which provided for the refund
ing of several millions of the Nation
al debt that falls due this year, in bonds
bearing per cent. interest. He says he
would not have vetoed the bill had it
provided for three and one-half per cent.
bonds. His reasons for his actions are
weak, and show great lack OF calm
considerations AS the debt must be pro
vide for there will probably be an extra
session of Congress called.
