PREPARATION.
On the 18th Egbert Benson, Peter Muh,-
enberg and Samuel Griffin were named
Committee of Reception of President
Washington. and house being ordered in
readiness, Richard Henry Lee, Rudolph
lizard and Tristum Dalton from the SEN
ate, and Doudinot, Bland, Tucker, Benson
and Lawrence from the House, were
named a committee to meet Washington
in New Jersey and conduct him without
form TO the house, one heretofore used by
the President of Congress. This house
was IN Franklin Square, corner of Cherry
street, near to Harper d Bros. present pub
blishing house. 1t was then ''out in the
couatry, says Mrs. Lamb in the paper re-
ferred TO, land on that account objected to.
1t was c charming place in summer over
looking the bay and Long Island, with
bits OF East River peeping through the
foliage of its gardens, while towards the
west and northwest the stretches of land
scape were varied with sunny slopes, circles
of small hills and beautiful valleys. This
house had been previously occupied by the
President Of Congress, its owner, Samuel
Osgooa, one Of commissioners of the Treas
subsequently Postmaste-rGeneral-
having vacated it temporarily for the
benefit OF the Government.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1889-02-23

In the midst OF perfect quiet the Chan
ellor pronounced with measured accents
the words of the oath. The Bible was
raised, but Washington bent down to its
pages and said ia a distinct voice, I" |
swear" Then, with the utmost fervency
and with his eyes closed, he murmured,
" So help me God :"
The Chancellor then said, /" 1t is done"
and turning to the multitude in the streets,
exclaimed, Long live George Washing
ton, President OF the United States.
THE AIR BURST WITH SOUND.
And then the air burst with sound. The
soiemnity of the oath had permeated every
listening heart, and when the word to cry
out was given the hoodgates of JOY were
opened with one torrent of reclamation.
The President bowed repeatedly to the as
semblage below, and was then conducted
back to the Senate chamber, where he de-
livered short inauguration address,
which abounded, as was to be expected,
with the grace, the modesty and the sol
emnity that his wisdom always partook Of
The whole party af.erward repaired to
st. paurs Chapel, in Broadway, where
prayers were read by Dr.. Provost, recently
elected Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, in New York. After these serv-
ices President Washington was escorted
back to his house in Cherry street.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1889-02-23

The procession marched through TO Fed
eral Hall, when the soldiers formed into
two lines, between which Washington and
his attendants were conducted to The SEM
ate CHAMBER. where BE Wee President
received them, lsadips Washington 10 the
chair.
The Vice President then said: Sir the
Senate and House IT Representatives of
the United States are ready TO attend Won
10 take she oath required by the Constitu-
ton, which will be administered by the
ChsncelIor OF the State Of New York;
Washington replied, II am ready to pro-

/ The night in the city was one of en-
chanting beauty, all the residences being
brilliantly Illuminated, the air filled with
pyrotechnic effects and various transpar-
encies. representing Washington amid al
legorical influences, displayed at different
points. The President was taken to the
house of Chancellor Livingston to view
the fireworks, and it was necessary for him
to return to the Executive Mansion at ten
o'clock on foot, because the thronged con-
diiion OF the streets made it an impossible
ity for carriages TO pass.
THE FALL AND THE COSTUMES.
Thus did Washington enter upon his
administration as the first President of the
United States. The utmost simplicity and
calmness were exhibited by himself, but
the people, who by this time had grown to
adore the splendid qualities that formed
his sublime character, gave free vent to
their hearts and welcomed him as their
chief with feryor that We have never
since surpassed.
There was no ball ON the night of the
Inauguration, hut on May eth, week
after, a most elaborate one took place at
the Assembly Rooms, which stood on the
east side Of Broadway, just above Wall
street. The ball was attended by the Pres
ident, Vice-President, majority of both
houses Of Congress, the French and Span
ish Ministers, the Governor of New York,
Baron Steuben, General Knox, Mr.. Jay,
Mr.. Hamilton and all the other dis
tinguished people then in the city The
ladies are described as being Of great
beauty, and their costumes of an elaborate
design and exquisite taste that to-day
would charm the most fashionable. 1t
will not be out Of place to tell the story of
one or two dresses that were worn at this
ball Colonel Stone, who after explaining
that few jewels were then worn in the
United States, writes as follows Of the
gowns:

ice of the United States, was then 4S, but
maryelously rich in experience for enc of
his years. His education had been COM
pleted at the College Of New jersey. after
two years at Yale, and he had won dis
tinction as lawyer, in State legislation,
in the old Congress and as one of the
trainers of the Constitution.
sThe only Senator from Virginia was
RICHARD II. LEE,
The same who made the motion in the
Continental Congress of I776, THAT these
United Colonies are and of right ought to
be, free and independent States; that they
are absoived from all allegiance to the
British crown; and that all practical con-
nection between them and the State Of
| Great Britain is, and ought to be dissolved
1t is said that his speech en- introducing
this bold measure was one of the most
brilliant displays Of eloquence ever heard
He signed the Declaration of Independ
ence, also the Articles of Confederation,
bat he opposed the Constitution, believing
it would tend to destroy the independence
CT the State Governments. His age at thi:
time was fifty-six.
"But one Senator had, as yet, arrived

men, who were present to welcome him,
bringing each one before us for cordial
greeting.
BEGINNING WITH THE SENATE,
We find two from Massachusetts,, Tristan
Dalton and Caleb Strong, both Of whom
were Harvard graduates. Dalton had
studied law for pleasure, but beiag cum
bered with a large fortune never had
practised ut the bar; he had, however,
served many years 10 the Massachusetts,
Legislature, and now at the age of as, was
widely known as a highly cultivated
Christian gentleman, and one greatly be-
loved for his philanthropic tendencies.
Caleb Strong was "A, q tall, angular, dark
complexioned man with a large head, hair
slightly powdered and resting loosely over
a high intellectual forehead, with blue
eyes of singular sweetness and beauty of
expression. He was profoundly learned
in all the varied features Of law, infiex-
ible in his adherence tc principle, and
more inattentive TO personal elegance OF
dress than any member of the Senate. He
is best remembered, perhaps, for his high
handed action twenty-five years later, when
as Governor of Massachusetts,, during the
war of 1872, he denied the right OF the
President, on constitutional grornds. 10

tant places by ferry and in packets from

early dawn was gray and unpromising, but
when the merry rattle of bells was sue
ceeded at o'clock by slower peal THAI
called the people to church the sun sprang
out with glorious ardor and bathed the
city in its yellow light. Prayers had been
offered in all the churches imnloring the
divine blessing upon the nation and its
new President, and when the people came
out from service the military began march
ing from their quarters,
WITH coLoRs FLYING
And the bands playing to the happiest
music The principal companies were
Captain Stakes troop of horse equipped in
the style of Lees famous partisan legion I;
Captain Scribe's German Grenadiers, with
blue coats, buff waistcoats and breeches,
black CATERS and towering cone-shaped
caps faced with bear skins; Captain Har-
sins New York Grenadiers, in imitation of
the guard of Frederick the Great, composed
of only the tallest and finest looking men
of the city, dressed in blue coats, with red
facings and gold-lace enibroideries, cooked
hats with white feathers, white waisteoats
and breeches and black spatter-dashes, and
the Scotch Infantry, in full Highland cos
tune, with bagpipes-

messenger sent to notify Mr.. Adams was

the 18th for that purpose.
FEDERAL HALL.
Says ;Irs. Lamb:
I'm the mean time all eyes were turned
toward the stately edifice in Wall street
then the fashionable promenade of the city
which hence forward became the Mecca
of every citizen, visitor, and stranger, who
trod the soil of Manhattan Island. Throngs
of ladies and gentlemen, dressed in all the
brilliant colors and gorgeous costumes OF
the period, jolted each other every pleas
ant afternoon, and surveyed, with curious
interest, the massive pillars supporting
the four Doric columns and pediment
the ingenious device by which the cornice
was arranged to admit thirteen stars in
the metopes, the American eagle and
other insignia in the pediment, the tablet:
over each window with their sculptured
thirteen arrows entwined IN olive branche:
all of which combined to give the i'm
posing structure the effect of having beer
set apart for national purposes.
Sew persons except the members Of the
new National Legislature were as yet per
mitted to enter its portals.
THE FINISHING PROCESS

was foored with marble, and lighted from

pleasure OF Washington himself should
become known.
MEANWHILE THE CHIEFTAINs JOURNEY
Towards New York from Virginia was
like one continuous triumphal process
sion." Cities. towns and villages wed
with each other in doing him honor. Men,
women and children lined the route of his
left in the fgrrow and the wheel to hum
alone, while the people did him honor.
IavINe's ACCOUNT.
irving gave this account of the progress
and Washington's preparation for it:
AT length, on the 18th of April, he re-
ce;ved a letter from the President of Con-
gfess. duly notifying him of his election,
and he prepared to set out Immediately for
New York, the seat of government An

CONVERSION eEoReE CLINTON.

OF New York, received the President
elect at the ferry stairs, which were CAR
peted and the rails hung with c,in,so,,
and as Washingtcn's tall figure was seen
ascending them, and as his foot touched
the shore of the flourishing city which his
own valor and military skill had recovered
from a powerful enemy, popular enthu-
siasm reached its climax. The widest
and the most prolonged cheers rent the
air. Men shouted until they lost their
voices. The crowds were so densely
packed that 1t required large force o.
city officers to make a passage for Wash
lngton and his party. Colonel Morgan
Lewis, aided by Majors Morton and Van
Horne, led the way. and the various regi-
ments were followed by the officers of the
militia, two and two, the committee o;
Congress, the Presidert-elect with Gov.
ernor Clinton, the heads of the Depart.
ments, the Mayor and Aldermen OF the
city, the clergy, the foreign Ministers and
an immense coneourse of citizens. Every
| house on the route was decorated with
banners, garlands of flowers and ever
green's. Every window, to the highest
story, was filled with fair women and
brave men. Every inanimate object
SEEMED ALIVE,
With the waving handkerchiefs and hats.
Flowers fell in the streets, like snowaakes
in blizzard. In every possible form Of
unique device and ingenious ornamental
ton, the name of Washington was sus-
pended from roof to roof, and upon faneies.
