WASHINGTON PASSING THE SPANISH VESSEL,
GALVESTON.
congress-, of which Elias Boudinot was chair
man, and by the heads of the departments in
the confederation, namely: John Jay, secre-
tary Of foreign affairs; John Knox, secretary
of war; Robert r. Livingston, chancellor of
the state of New York; Samuel Osgood, Ar
thur Lee and Walter Livingston, commits,
sioners Of the treasury; Ebenezer Hazard,
postmaster general, and by the mayor and
recorder of the city.
A large and handsome barge, prepared and
drnped for the purpose, WIS in waiting,
manned by thirteen masters of vessels in
white uniform, and commanded by Commo-
dore James Nicholson. Washington was
seated In this, and as it moved slowly from
the Jersey shore other barges, fancifuny dec
grated, fell into line behind it. The process
sion moved through the narrow strait between
New Jersey and Staten Island, and many
boats and vessels fell into its wake. As 1t
passed Bedloehs Island n sloop came alongside
bearing a volunteer choir of tw~enty-fivel ladies
and gentlemen, who sang an ode composed
for the occasion to the music of "God save
the Queen" Every vessel in the harbor was
In holiday attire, the Spanish ship-of-war
Galveston being especially noticeable, and as
the barge came abreast of her she at once dis
played every flag and signal in use among
nations. 1t is to be emembered that the
new nation was on especially friendly terms
with France, Spain and Holland.

RECEPTION OF THE PRESIDENT
ELECT.

Governor George Clinton received the
Presidcnt-elect at the ferry stairs, and when
Washington stepped to the shore the vast
multitude broke into loud and prolonged
cheers. The crowds were so densely packed
in the procession that it required a long time
and much e~xertion to force the way to the
presidents house In Franklin square. Every
house ON the route was decorated; every win
dow was filled with people, shouting and wav-
ing flags and handkerchiefs Flowers fell In
the streets in constant showers and were dis
played in every kind of device. The name
of Washington was presented In flowers,
fngs and evergreens. At his house in Frank
lin square Washington spent the remainder
of the day, from 4 p. IN. to late bedtime, In
receiving visitors and congratulations of for
eign ministers, political characters, public
bodies and private citizens of distinction. In
the evening the entire city was brilliantly IL
Illuminated.
All this time the city was being filed with
people from every part of the adjoining coun-
try and from New England. New York had
never before had such a multitude. Old let
tiers lately resurrected give amusing ~accounts
of the difficulty of securing lodgings, of the
breaking down of carriages and delays and
hinderances on account of the bad roads of
that day. All the houses In the city were
soon filed and tents were pitched In vacant
lots
On tho Goth tho committee of the two
houses reported an elaborate plan, providing

THE FIRST ELECTION.

On the 2lst of June, l7Ss, NV Hampshire,
the ninth state, ratified the constitution. On
tho I'd of July her formal notification of that
fact was read in the Confederation congress,
and after long and heated debate, that con-
gress on tho 18th of September resolved that
the first Wednesday in january should be the
day for appointing electors, the first We'd
nesday in February the day for them to vote,
and the first Wednesday in March the time

THE CONSTITUTIONAL FATHERS.

lTlC SOTNO ~ lOENNI tai TEhO.
The annexed history OF W~ashington's inau-
g%1ration will, therefore, be n sort Of advance
programme Of the ceremonies on the coming
30th Of April. The preliminary sketch will,
it Is hoped, enable young readers to compre-
hond the peculiar difficulties confronting the
first president, and in the discussions which
preceded and the words In which the agree
ment to the charter of the national govern
ment was couched may be found the germs
of our national policy and the Emergencies of
our political parties.
1t is conceded by all observers of that time
that the constitution never would have OBJ
tanned the sanction of the needed states had
there not been n certainty in the public mind
that Washington would be the first president
and therefore give to its terms an executive
construction which would DO binding for all
time. Washington was therefore in n pecul-
lar sense tho principal creator OF the new
government. But the causes for local jeal-
ousy which went so near to defeating his object
may here be briefly and prohtably reviewed.
1t should be borne In mind that the colonies
were founded by men representing at least
four great branches of the Caucasian
stock and six distinct and somewhat un-
friendly religious bodies; The Puritan, Dutch
and Swedish Calvinists and Lutherans; the
English Quakers, Catholics and Episcopalians,
and lastly the French Huguenots. The Irish
OF the early immigration were nearly all nom
Celtic and Protestant, while the Palatine Ger
mans who located in Pennsylvania and the
valley Of Virginia did not in any sense CON
stitute an alien political party.
Necessity compelled some sort of union
from the first, but it was self evident that no
one of the local religious elements could pre-
vail over all the others, and thus by n most
fortunate accident there was from the first a
complete divorce of church and state under
the old government, while the anomaly was
presented of IA union OF the two in some of
the states till long after the adoption OF the
present purely secular national constitution.
Jealousies Inherent in the religions of tho
original stocks were very slowly eliminated,
and those growing out of local interests in
trade and navigation were most persistent of
all. Hence the instincts of the people looked
to a man of impartial temper to hold the just
balance of the constitution between state
rights and Capitalization between the
south, the west and the east-between the in
forests of manufacturing, and
navigation. There was but ono man In whom
the confidence of the vast classes and sections
conferred; n nntiye of the south, who had won
his first great laurels in the north, and that
man was George Washington.

George Washington was the hero of the
most successful and least destructive reyolu-

was the beginning Of Il new era, as well as
the inception of "A now governments. Indeed,
the chief novelty Of the new government
consisted not so much in its form, for that
contained little that was new, but the vital
application Of principles admitted down

the system Of political ethics professed by the
English in their revolution OF the Seventeenth

THE ri oRIoIIe DAv

The programme was fully carried out. A
national salute ushered in the morning of the
30th of April. At 8 o'clock every bell in the
city pealed for a few minutes, then in slow
tones summoned the people to religious ser
vice, Immediately after which the procession
WIS formed in the following order;
Col Morgan Lewis, attended by two officers
Capt Stokes, with the Troop of Horse.
Artillery.
Maj. Van Horne

At Federal hall the troops massed in close
order on Wall and Broad streets Washing
ton passed through and was conducted to the
senate chamber according to the programme,
when Vice President Adams said:
"Sir, the senate and house of representa-
tives of the United States are ready to attend
you to take the oath required by the consti-
tuition, which will be administered by the
chancellor of the state of New York"
II am ready to proceed" was the reply.
They then passed to the balcony In the or
der prescribed. Broad and Wall streets in
each direction presented a compac mass of
upturned faces, and it Is remarked that every
person was still as a statue and profound ST.
lence reigned. The windows and housetops
were crowded with people. Spectators ex-
actly on the opposite side have many times
described the appearance of the group on the
balcony.
In the center and standing apart n little,
separated by n space from all except Col.
Webb and Chancellor Livingston, stood
Washington, clad in a complete suit of ele-
giant broadcloth, of American manufacture,
with white silk stockings, also a native pro-
duction, plain silver buckles In his shoes,
head uncovered, his hair heavily powdered
and tied in a cue, according to the fashion
of the day. Ho stood upon n square stone
cony. To the right of him stood Chancellor
Livingston, nearly as tall as himself. On
the other side stood Vice President Adams.
Samuel A. Otis, secretary of the senate, stood
near. A little to the rear and forming a sort

Arrivals from foreign ports during the
past week have been the L. S. S. Adams
from Samoa en- route to San Francisco;
bark Forest Queen and brigantine J. D.
Spreckels, San Francisco; bark James A.
King, Port Townsend; British yacht Ny
ANA, South Seas.
The only departure from this port has
been the ,. S. TakasagO Maru for Japan.
Receipts of produce from the outports
have comprised "a, 7S2 bags sugar and 4 All
bags rice.
a heavy windstorm on the f rst two DAYS
OF the month must have done some dam
age to both sugar and rice crops. In the
case of the sugar the effect will be less Sc
we're than 1t would have been when the cane
was younger than most of it is now The
storm affected receipts, as the steamer
Kinau, having touched the reef at Maa-
laea, came In empty and another vessel had
to be sent for her load.
A partial failure of the crops in Australia
has stimulated Californian exports of
grain, -four and feed TO that quarter. The
steamer MarpOsa took 235 tons of corn,
100 tons of wheat, and 225 tons of flour.
The Zealandia, sailing Jan. 18th had weeks
ago engaged $50 tons each OF flour, barley
and corn. Steamers to sail in February
and March each have engaged $50 tons of
barley.
Coffee has lately gone up flying in the
foreign markets, ana III IS q pity TINS COun-
try has not something worth while of this
product TO export, seeing that the article
grown here is not excelied III quality by
any producing country.
Brazil, that has been one of the United
States good customers for -four has begun
to grind wheat at home. Two -four mills
are running in Rio, with a weekly produc-
ton of 5000 barrels, most of the wheat
coming from the Argentine Republic
Chile, Australia and New Zealand.
The German. Export Society in Berlin
will devote a capital of 100000 marks to
the building of large steamer which will
contain a complete emporium of every
species of manufacture to be sold in foreign
ports. This idea of a floating exhibition
seems TO be original, although exhibitions
on wheels for the railways are common in
the United States. California is having
one such talked up now, to exhibit pro-
ducts of that State i'm the East. The Ger
man exhibition steamer will be called the
" Kaiser Wilhelm"

were without any address whatever. At
least one of the misdirected letters was

SERIOUS ASSAULT.
A Custom House watchman Attacked
at His Home.

at His Home.
Hakuelo, native Waterman for the
Customs on the bark Forest Queen, was
assaulted at his house near Smiths bridge,
Beretania street, after midnight Of Sat
urday by gang of ruffians. They pulled
him out of his bed and proceeded to beat
him numerically. One of his eyebrows
was laid open, it is believed with steel
knuckles Hakuelo noticed a fash OF
shining metal as the blow was falling,
which he at first thought was from a
knife. He raised an outcry and the
police responding arrested one of his
assailants, who proved to be one of the
Forest Queens crew. The motive for
the outrage is naturally suspected to be
resentment at the watchman's faithful
prevention OF opium smuggling.
